Chapter 210: The Flow of Wealth
Chapter 210: The Flow of Wealth
The original altar.
A large amount of information recently produced by the players flashed through Qi Sheng’s mind.
I found a post on the forum, and its popularity is rising rapidly.
The post describes the latest bizarre phenomena in the Ascension Sea.
The player who posted the message said that Shuyan seemed to have changed books again, the immortal cultivation system had disappeared, and a new combat system legion was born in Shuyan's field.
What's even more outrageous is that this time Shu Yan actually took the initiative to launch an offensive against the Feisheng Clan.
The reversal of offense and defense caused a lot of discussion among players, as if the world situation was changing rapidly and they were not afraid of getting involved.
The topic of discussion was all about why Shuyan did this.
Some players speculated that after Shuyan switched books, he started a hit work, which greatly improved the combat power of the legion and gave them the confidence to take the initiative.
Some players also said that Shuyan’s mentality was broken, and he decided to fight to the death with the Ascending Clan and gave it his all.
Various opinions have emerged like mushrooms after rain, but players generally just want to watch the show.
Players don’t care who wins between the Feisheng Clan and the Shuyan Clan.
They only care about how to get a piece of the pie from the chaos of war.
Just as the forum players were discussing, the players lurking in the fog of Shuyan's territory were affected by Shuyan's offensive.
When Shu Yan took the initiative to attack, these players who were regarded as extraterritorial demons also became targets of attack.
During this period, a player discovered something strange.
The legion system in Shuyan's domain can be switched at will, and among them there is a legion composed of spiritual life forms.
To players, this special army seemed to be specially built to target them.
Because spiritual life does not have a "near death" state.
Once the life structure collapses, it will disintegrate. That is to say, if there is no strong enough mental power attribute, the player will not be able to capture the Shuyan warrior in the spirit body mode across dozens of levels.
If Shuyan continues to fight with the legion system constructed by spiritual life in the future, the players' path to getting rich by capturing Shuyan's warriors will be completely cut off.
Unless one possesses the mental strength to suppress the life of the spiritual body, the capture can be completed through attribute suppression.
But since they all have the ability to suppress Shuyan Warriors, why would players need to catch Shuyan Warriors? They must have higher aspirations.
Qi Sheng glanced at this type of discussion and stopped paying attention to it.
Already aware of the changes in Shu Yan's field, he switched his attention to the revenue feedback data.
At this stage, he mainly invests the proceeds from the sacrifice into the construction of weapon systems.
Once the weapon system is complete, he will issue a new round of player qualifications on the Monster World official website.
It is tentatively planned to issue 50 qualified places this time.
The speed of issuing qualifications begins to gradually increase as players' income grows.
In recent times, the number of original monsters taken in has reached 51.
During this period, three new original monsters were successfully contained.
The first monster is the second generation origin: Grasp of the Void, which was taken in by the player "Shark is a Little Nanliang" in the Colorful Mist Coast area.
This is an output-type soul that is only suitable for magic players.
The characteristic effect is to consume mental power to generate an arm made of void energy at the target location, which can perform operations such as slapping, grabbing, crushing, etc.
The strength performed well in the tests of strategy players.
The advantage is that there is no flight trajectory when the soul characteristics such as Ink Flame and Thunder are released, and there is no need to throw it. It can be generated directly next to the enemy at a long distance, and there is no delay in output.
It can also be used with elemental output souls to give the Void's Grasp elemental properties, taking the damage to a higher level.
The Star Vein combination with the highest number of likes on the forum is: Grasp of the Void, Scattered Arrows, Food of Air, Ink Flame, Thunder, Binding, and Withering.
This Star Vein combination is biased towards functional output.
The strategy player in the demonstration video raised his right hand, and dozens of void arms cut by the scattered arrow feature appeared a hundred meters ahead.
Arcs of electricity and blazing black flames surrounded his arms.
One hit causes range bombardment + elemental attack effects. All the test monsters hit are affected by binding and immobilization, and receive continuous damage from Withering.
It can not only output group damage, but also carry out range attacks, and its performance is quite good.
However, players who like the "Grasp of the Void" soul generally care not about the output damage, but the instant effect.
Can catch the enemy off guard.
The second one is the third-generation original monster taken in by the player "Shi Qi Ku" in the Qi Ling Valley: Siphon Spear.
This third-generation origin creature was successfully promoted to one of the strongest in the version just after being taken in.
It is also regarded by many magic players as a must-have soul in the later stages.
The characteristic effect of siphon is: lock onto the perceived target, extract the target's mental power, and convert it into one's own mental power reserve (the siphon effect is affected by three factors: the target's mental power strength, one's own mental power strength, and the soul level).
Although Siphon is not a life-spirit like Qi-eating that can directly restore mental strength, it is a rare life-spirit that can enhance the endurance of magic.
In the test video released by the strategy party players, the performance of the siphon feature is very impressive.
Especially when paired with the "Scattered Arrow" soul that only physical players would choose, it can continuously siphon health back to multiple targets.
The strategy player in the test video adjusted the soul level and attributes, and tried to siphon 100 targets at the same time, and the blue bar was restored at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But the disadvantages of siphoning souls are also obvious.
The effect of the characteristic is affected by the target's mental strength.
I can't absorb the mental power of a target with strong mental power, and I can't absorb much mental power from a target with weak mental power.
Releasing the siphon property will also consume mental energy.
It is easy to find that the mental energy consumption is greater than the mental energy recovery.
Secondly, it occupies a precious star vein slot but cannot provide effective output.
But it is foreseeable that in the future, this is a late-stage soul whose strength will continue to rise as the star vein level increases.
Forum players have built a large number of powerful schools with "Siphon" as the core.
Among them, some players said that if they couldn’t suck in the enemies, they would suck in their teammates.
Let your teammates act as power banks by your side and drink spirit recovery potions. You can absorb your teammates' mental power to quickly recover and continue to output damage.
This proposal also received likes and rewards from the "God King".
It was originally a way to play for fun, and the players who posted the idea were just doing it for fun on the forum and never thought about using it in actual combat.
But in the eyes of the God King, this whole gameplay has become an effective strategy that can significantly improve his own command ability.
Every time he commanded a war, he needed to prepare a space bag of mental recovery potions.
Constantly drinking medicine will also affect his command efficiency.
But it’s different with the Siphon Soul. Carrying a power bank with you can skip the step of drinking medicine and concentrate on commanding the player army to fight.
Among them, the star vein combinations with the highest number of likes on the forum are: Binding, Siphoning, Breathing, Mental Shock Wave, and Withering.
This Star Vein combination may seem ordinary, but it is regarded as the strongest single-player soul in this version by players who have tested it.
It is mainly constructed around the binding of souls. The strategy players in the demonstration video use binding to forcibly fix the target, and carry out continuous siphoning and superimposed withering damage attacks.
If the target shows signs of breaking free, use a mental shock wave and continue to immobilize and siphon the target.
Keep the target in a fixed state at all times, and perform very well in single combat.
The disadvantage is also obvious, the output is too low.
It has neither the versatility of functional assistance nor the burst damage of output players.
Can only rely on the lasting effects of Wither and Siphon.
Apart from being powerful in single combat, it is useless and not suitable for use in war mode.
It is only suitable for lone wolf players to challenge monsters stronger than themselves in the wild, but the killing efficiency is very low.
The last Origin was an unexpected catch by the player "No Longer Mentioning the Knife" while fishing in the Ascension Sea. When he pulled it up, he found that it was a golden dragon fish.
What surprised the player even more was that the analysis showed that this was a fifth-generation origin.
The characteristic name of the original monster is "gold coins". The analysis introduction shows that positive additional benefits can be obtained through the flow of wealth.
This introduction is very vague, leaving forum players scratching their heads.
Finally, the guidelines provide a clear answer.
The so-called flow of wealth refers to active participation in economic activities, such as trading and investment, which can bring about the flow of wealth.
Positive additional income refers to making a profit, rather than a loss-making transaction.
At this stage, there is only one way for players to adapt to the "gold coin" feature, and that is to cultivate fat peaches, which can be regarded as a value investment.
By embedding a level 1 gold soul, you can obtain an additional 8% benefit, which will be stored in the form of wealth power.
When the value reaches 100 sacrificial power, a gold coin can be generated, which can be sacrificed and exchanged for sacrificial power at any time.
After learning about the clear usage of the gold coins, the players on the forum had a climax.
It is believed that extra income can be obtained by exploiting bugs in the trading house, 8% each time, and as long as the cycle is endless, there will be inexhaustible power.
But the fact is that the back-and-forth reselling trading model cannot adapt to the characteristics of gold coins.
The reason is simple. Many trading models in trading houses do not generate positive returns, and there is a percentage commission on the principal.
Even if there is no commission, it is difficult to generate financial flow.
Because the characteristics of gold coins require naturally formed energy, players must have real value exchange and emotional investment. Players can obtain the flow of wealth and get extra "gold coin power" cash back by trading and selling the goods they normally put on the shelves.
However, if you cooperate with other players with a "brushing" mentality and resell back and forth, you will not be able to maintain the flow of wealth, even if it is the first time it is put on the shelf and reselling has not started yet, you will not be able to maintain the flow of wealth.
The judgment criteria are based on the rules and characteristics of the "gold coin" soul, and there is no possibility of any bug.
If it is possible, in fact, Qi Sheng would like to get unlimited gold coins more than the players and exchange them for sacrificial power.
Therefore, the method of brushing orders is not feasible.
After learning the correct usage from the guide, the popularity of Gold Coin Soul in the forum plummeted.
To embed a fifth-generation soul, you have to invest 30,000 sacrifice powers in the early stage. Not only can it not bring any increase in combat power, but the characteristic effects are also very useless.
At least at this stage, it is difficult to obtain excess returns through gold souls.
In the words of the players on the forum: I have 30,000 sacrificial power. I can use it to improve my strength and hunt stronger monsters, which is much more useful than embedding a gold coin.
In the eyes of many players, the Gold Soul is not as powerful as the newly added Void Grasp and Siphon Soul.
But forum players also understand one thing.
Whether the soul is powerful or not is never fixed. Since the gold coin is the fifth-generation soul, it proves that it has very high development potential.
Perhaps in the near future, the gold coin soul will shine.
……
Colorful mist coast, blue star sea.
The boat cuts through the waves.
A figure on the boat was holding a fishing rod, sitting on a chair woven from vines, with his legs crossed on the edge of the boat, and a straw hat on his head to block out the sun.
At this moment, the fishing rod vibrated, and he sat up suddenly, exerting force with his arms.
Start a game with the big fish beneath the sea surface.
People say that fishing parties are casual players, but Zhong Yi doesn’t think so.
How can you catch big fish if you don’t have strength?
The Gangqi Soul was activated, the muscles in his arms were tensed and blue veins appeared, and with a sudden force, a large red fish jumped out of the water.
"Eat my punch!"
The tautly charged right fist suddenly struck out, blasting the huge red fish into a bloody mist.
The challenger's reminder sounded in my mind.
After making the choice, the shattered flesh and blood of the big fish suddenly shrank, condensed into fish meat and fell down, and was caught by Zhong Yi with his Gangqi and soul.
It was listed on the trading platform in the next second.
The hunting level of this strange fish is 12. It is a relatively common marine fish species in the Ascension Sea and has limited value.
No need to analyze, one can judge the value at a glance.
This is what practice makes perfect. Every fisherman has a clear price list of fish in his mind.
He sat back down on the rattan chair, picked up the straw hat that had fallen on the ground and put it on his head, then continued to wait for the next big fish to be caught.
His eyes flicked towards the guild chat box that was shrinking in the upper left corner of his vision.
The guild he belongs to is very famous and is called one of the three great evil sects by players on the forum: Fishing Alone in the Snow on a Cold River.
The brothers in it can be called inventors, they have made simple fishing very interesting.
Every once in a while a new invention comes out.
For example, the latest set of evil fishing methods developed by him seemed particularly weird even for him who was well-informed.
This method of fishing is called self-sacrifice fishing, and it does not require any fishing gear.
Fishing players only need to inlay the "Star Shift" soul. As long as the fish bites the bait, the stars will shift, the big fish will come on the boat, and the players can go to the sea.
There is no need for power games or fish-playing skills, it can be said to be a one-hit-kill fishing game.
There are many other outrageous ways to play.
But for Zhong Yi, he prefers the current ordinary fishing mode.
What you enjoy is the fun of the game after the prey is hooked.
At this time, the players in the guild group were discussing today's catch, taking photos of various fish, and it was really annoying to watch.
Because what he caught today were all of ordinary quality, nothing worth showing off.
Just then, a guild brother's speech caught his attention.
Against the Vortex: Brothers, are you able to make any use of the latest gold souls you have collected? Level 1 can bring you 8% extra income. We sell fish and meat on the shelves every day, and I feel that it will be a quick and easy win if we embed one.
Dome: Don’t joke. It costs 30,000 sacrifice power to inlay. The income you earn every day is not enough to upgrade the fishing gear, and you still want extra income. My suggestion is not to inlay in the early stage and consider it later.
Wanxiang: The income from fishing fluctuates too much. Assuming that you can earn 300 points of sacrificial power steadily by selling fish meat every day, the additional income from the gold coin soul is 24 points of sacrificial power. The initial investment of 3 sacrificial power will take you 1250 days to recover the cost. Don't consider this thing in the early stage, and wait until you can fish for sea monsters in the later stage before embedding it.
……
Gold coin soul?
I recently went offline and equipped a room with nutrient solution. Zhong Yi really understands what this gold coin soul is.
With curiosity, he opened the Soul Library and began to look through it.
The shape of the gold coin soul is a golden energy ball with a golden fish-shaped shadow swimming inside.
After reading the introduction information of the gold coin soul, Zhong Yi understood the effect of this soul.
To put it simply, wealth is generated through transactions, and wealth can produce "gold coins". One gold coin can be exchanged for 100 points of sacrificial power after being sacrificed to Brother Di Zhao.
Belongs to the financial management type of soul.
Afterwards, I read the reviews of the strategy-seeking players on the forum and gained a deeper understanding of the gold coin soul.
This soul can be said to be very useless.
The only advantage is the additional revenue.
But there are a lot of disadvantages.
First of all, the purchase cost of the soul is thirty thousand, which is very expensive.
Secondly, the price of opening a star vein slot must be taken into account, and it must be calculated according to the price of the last star vein slot.
It is no wonder that players on the forum would say that the cost of gold souls is too high and provides little help in upgrading.
For players whose core gameplay is hunting, the losses will be greater as the gold coin souls are inlaid in the later stages.
After closing the forum interface, Zhong Yi pulled his straw hat down and started the old-age fishing mode.
Feeling the sea breeze and the warmth of the sun on your body... these days are really pleasant.
After a few minutes, Zhong Yi lifted his straw hat and opened his eyes.
Wealth flow? Extra profit from trading?
According to players on the forum, the wealth created by transactions cannot be obtained through mutual brushing, but requires real transactions to generate.
There is obviously a hidden detection mechanism in the game to determine whether it is a real transaction, so the player's idea of bugging is definitely not feasible.
Is it possible to generate additional income by trading with foreign races?
He thought the idea seemed feasible.
8% is the additional income at the initial level of the gold soul. As long as you upgrade the soul level, the additional income will also increase.
Theoretically, even if it is an equal exchange, he can still obtain considerable extra benefits through the wealth generated by the gold coin soul.
The only question is how to keep yourself safe in the transaction.
In fact, your own safety is not important, the safety of the goods is what matters most.
This is a monster world, not the peaceful environment in reality where all races live in harmony and have the Earth Alliance communication platform.
After playing Monster World for three months, Zhong Yi knows that in this world, the bigger the fist, the more truth is.
When you seek to trade with other races, they will look at the goods first and then at the people.
Transactions between the weak are always door-to-door.
If you want to establish a stable trading channel, you must first have the strength to make the other party fear you, or at the very least, you must demonstrate strength that is not weaker than that of the other party.
Only when the strength is similar can trade be carried out.
With a significant gap in strength, it's just a matter of you robbing me or me robbing you.
The same is true for players.
A strong team of players can just grab the items directly, so there is no need for complicated transaction procedures.
If weak players seek to trade with other races, they will only be robbed, unless they store the goods in a space bag and do not display them.
Apart from this problem, all other problems are easy to solve.
When it comes to the selection of trade goods, there is a wide variety of items to choose from in the game mall.
There are always commodities that foreign races are interested in, and they are willing to exchange them for various spiritual resources.
With the idea in mind, Zhong Yi began to think about ways to break the impasse.
If this growth path can be successful and stable trade relations with foreign races can be established, a lot of extra sacrificial power income will be earned in the future.
The prerequisite is to solve how to trade with the ethnic forces on various islands in the Cangxing Sea with limited strength.
