Chapter 570 Lingxu Palace: Is this right?
Even though the Saint-Slaying Spear is useless to Lu Li in this world, it doesn't mean that it is useless as a prop.
Lu Li checked the description above. After this item is authenticated, it will be transformed into a universal item by the space. If used as a disposable item, the effect will be equally amazing and can be exchanged one for one to the extreme.
However, most explorers will not buy this item. After all, their lives are gone. Even if they kill the enemy, it is meaningless to most explorers.
But the space also gave an explanation that after the Saint-Slaying Spear was certified, it could also be used as an inlay.
Yes... Lu Li didn't know how to embed such a big thing into the equipment as an inlay. If it was an accessory equipment, he couldn't imagine it even more.
But since the space said so, it must be possible to do it. It will not let a mythical item become useless.
Lu Li put away the Saint-Slaying Spear, and his expression finally eased a little. "Your inheritance crystal can be waived, but this is a matter for your entire space. If they don't pay, I won't win this battle for the world."
Upon hearing this, Orangutan Fire looked strange and for a moment he didn't know where he was.
Is this a battle for the world?
How can the opponent still threaten our side by saying that they cannot win the fight?
Moreover, I gave you a mythical item, but you only gave up two inheritance crystals. Is that a big deal?
But reality is always more magical than fiction, so he could only admit defeat, "Brother Prisoner, wait for me to communicate with them. Believe me, give me a few days, I can handle it."
Lu Li looked at the Ape Fire suspiciously, and thought about it. Even if he killed the other party now, he would not be able to force all the explorers of the ancient space to sign a contract with him. He could only wait and see.
If the other party disagrees, he will simply fight to the end. Anyway, the gorilla fire is strong enough, and the explorers of the ancient space are all dead. He is probably still alive. Then he can break through the big tomb and complete this world battle.
When Lu Li was finalizing the details with Orangutan Fire, he didn't know that someone was watching what they were doing.
Those eyes were not in the world of Overload, nor in the mysterious world where the ancient explorers lived, but in a higher dimension.
In that mysterious world numbered with four digits, even with their extremely high level of civilization, they were unable to notice that there was a tall tower suspended in the endless fog outside the domain.
Inside the tower, staff members are busy recording various data, making fair judgments after comparison, and then storing them in the database according to regulations.
In the control room on the top floor, an elegant man in white was watching the world battle on the screen and couldn't help but twitching his lips.
Others in the control room were even more nervous than him.
A young girl had never seen such a scene before, so she cautiously asked the person in charge, "Sir, is this... right?"
She had a confused look on her face and held the pen of judgment in her hand, not knowing how to record it for a moment. She always felt that this seemed to be inconsistent with the regulations, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
The battle for the world is generally a win-lose situation. Even if someone wants to perform some illegal operations, it is usually the losing side that is desperate.
As for the situation like now, the person who could win is dragging his feet and threatening the loser to make them pay protection money, so that the winner will show mercy and win. She has never seen such a situation before.
"There's nothing wrong with that. Who made the Ancient Space choose this rule? With this rule, they have already gained every advantage. It's impossible that there is no cost at all."
The man in white looked at Lu Li on the screen and said, "Another little bandit."
"Lord Lan Ke, that's not what I meant. I want to ask, can we allow explorers from both spaces to manipulate the outcome of the world war through transactions?"
The little girl said distressedly. It was obvious that she was a very strict person and she remained so even after having worked there for many years.
"Um……"
The man in white groaned for a moment. "Normally, this is not allowed. This kind of thing should be strictly prohibited, but he has already established victory, right? It does not involve manipulating victory or defeat through the exchange of interests."
During a World War, trades and contracts between explorers of both factions are usually prohibited.
Because there may be a situation of "space thieves selling space", for example, the explorers of one space are scared and don't want to fight, but they are wealthy as a whole. After paying benefits enough to make up for the failure penalties of the explorers of the other space, they will let the other party voluntarily give up this world.
In this way, the weaker but wealthier side took over the world without bloodshed.
This kind of thing has happened in history, so Lingxu Palace has also formulated new regulations to deal with this, determining that this is unfair competition.
After all, fighting a world war and seizing world resources is one thing, but cultivating explorers is also very important. If everyone does business in the space, how can the nine spaces operate?
As time goes by, some spaces are indeed very rich at certain times, and the welfare of explorers is naturally higher, but the result is that the quality of explorers is getting lower and lower.
There was even a world battle in history, where each of their explorers gave 10 inheritance crystals. They directly traded with the other explorer and "bought" a world.
The explorers were complacent, thinking that they had conquered a world without bloodshed, and would receive victory rewards upon their return, which would be enough to make up for the losses in their exchange of interests.
In fact, is this profitable for the space?
From a purely profit perspective, this world battle has become a business. Spending thousands of inheritance crystals to buy a world is certainly a profit.
The space rewards the winning explorer with a value of about 12 inheritance crystals, so the winning explorer also makes money.
This was bad. After the explorers of that space discovered this, they stopped fighting in future world wars and instead all turned to accounting, focusing on careful calculations. There was even a period of time when the profession of budgeter was created.
They calculated the "world value" of this world battle, and then estimated the value of the reward given by the space after they won, and then traded with other spaces to ensure that their profits from a single world battle were above 10%.
In this way, the explorers of that space no longer have to fight for worlds, they can just buy them.
Because of the economic advantage, the so-called spatial hegemony emerged, and it bullied other spaces for a long time with one trick.
But in this way, the meaning of cultivating talents is lost. The original hegemonic space explorers are only thinking about how to do business all day long. It is okay in the world battle, but the results in the mission world are getting worse and worse.
In the end, it was gradually overtaken by other worlds, and the explorers also lost talent.
After this lesson, and with the joint protest from other spaces, Lingxu Palace stepped in to arbitrate and formulated new rules for the world battle.
That is, it is strictly forbidden to use any economic transaction means to manipulate the outcome of the world competition war.
However, the battle for the world that they were witnessing was even more special. Due to various coincidences, the ancient space came up with a rule that seemed to have every advantage. However, when they were completely unable to win, this protective rule became their death warrant.
Lu Li was not really trading victory or defeat with the explorer on the opposite side. He just wanted to reap the benefits after winning.
But this didn't violate any rules, at least that's what Lan Ke thought. After all, he had seen people who robbed directly before. Space is a place where combat power speaks. You sent a group of level six to fight against a level five. You can't sue the other party for violating the rules, right?
"I see. Suddenly I feel that Huang Gu is quite pitiful..."
The little girl said sympathetically, this time it was really impossible to win even if you tried your best.
They thought of some tricks and agreed to the special rules. According to the nature of the bet, if Huang Gu still loses after all his requirements are met, he will have to pay a large amount of money to the End Space.
"Why is he so perverted? Does he have several spirit seeds?"
As the girl spoke, she was about to use her authority to click and view the list of players participating in the world competition. With the authority of the deacon of Lingxu Temple, she could directly see the detailed information of the players except their numbers.
But when she opened the menu on the End and clicked on the name of the Demon Prisoner, she found a pop-up window that went red.
She was a little puzzled and didn't believe it. She clicked a few more times, but all failed. "That's not right...why can't I see it? Could Zhongyan have cheated on him?"
Lan Ke smiled and glanced at the little girl. "Don't try. You don't have enough authority."
"Ah? Even if he is a pioneer, I should be able to..."
The girl was puzzled and thought that according to the rules, Lingxu Palace had the right to review the basic information of everyone participating in the world competition. It was just like the Olympics screening athletes for doping. They would not skip the inspection just because you were a famous athlete.
But when she was halfway through her words, she saw the calm eyes of the man in white and inexplicably couldn't continue.
She realized that perhaps there was something hidden in this battle for the world that was beyond her authority to know, and it would be dangerous to continue asking.
"Don't guess. It has nothing to do with spirit seeds, and I can't give you an answer."
Lan Ke said, smiling, "Actually, I don't know what's going on. If I want to know the truth, I'm afraid I'll have to ask some old friends. He's such an interesting young man."
The little girl was silent as a cicada, and dared not speak any more. She just lowered her head and did her duty of recording.
Lan Ke looked at Lu Li on the screen and sighed, "Is the wind of the end coming?"
…………
"Well, a little more to this side, a little less force~"
Chuchu lay on the sofa with Zephia riding on her back, and she also entered into a corrupt and enjoyable life.
Lu Li sat on the sofa opposite her, tasting the black tea that Sebastian had just brewed, and he seemed to be in high spirits.
"Zelphia, is this all you know?"
Lu Li put down the teacup and said.
"Master Martial God, I have finished telling the story of the Eight Desire Kings. There should be nothing missing."
Zephia answered respectfully while massaging Chuchu.
Lu Li touched his chin and looked at the exploration level recorded on his panel. He felt that it was about the same.
Although he came to fight in the world battle, and his ultimate goal was to accumulate enough points to obtain the World Core, the world exploration gained during this period could also increase his score rewards.
Just now he learned about the story of the Eight Desire Kings from Zefia, and indeed gained a lot of exploration points. Chuchu also heard about it, but Chuchu will not get the exploration point reward because she is not an explorer.
Supporters have no right to be rewarded by exploring the world. Their functions in the world are only to do work such as gathering and mining. The more they work, the more they earn. They cannot gain benefits through their brains or force.
This is also the reason why there are still quite a few inexperienced but motivated supporters in the space who still want to work hard to pass the assessment and become explorers.
According to Zephia, the eight kings of desire correspond to their names, namely the eight deadly sins of mankind: gluttony, lust, greed, wrath, laziness, depression, vanity and pride.
Zephia was created from lust among the Eight Desire Kings, so she has this kind of character, like a walking disseminator of desire.
Although Albedo is a succubus, she is quite serious towards people other than Ainz, and she is actually a pure succubus.
Zephia is different, her lust is the same inside and out.
Because of this, Zefia's torture of Yuli and Suo Liuxiang, who was previously captured by Lu Li, was very successful, so successful that Lu Li was a little unhappy.
Because he could no longer gain fear points from the captives, as they all had strange attributes adjusted by Zefia.
So Lu Li transferred Zefiya back and asked her to take care of Chuchu's daily life in order to avoid any more accidents.
dong dong dong-
At this time, the door of the sanctuary was knocked, and after answering, several people came in.
Albedo, Shalltear, Cocytus, Demiurge, Aura, Mare, Rubedo, and the other former guardians of the Great Tomb of Nazarick entered in a line, walked respectfully to the side of the sofa where Lu Li was, and knelt on one knee.
"Offer loyalty to the Supreme God of War."
Even though she was very reluctant, Albedo's body was very honest, and she led the team in the salute as the chief guardian.
Lu Li picked up a plate of pastries slowly and asked, "How is the matter going?"
He was referring to the matter of the Review Country. Having learned his lesson before, he would not leave Chu Chu unless it was necessary.
Anyway, all the explorers of the ancient space were killed and sent back up there, and only one Ape Fire was left here waiting to sign a contract with him. Now the guardians under him have become a force that this world cannot resist.
Therefore, Lu Li does not have to do everything himself. He only needs to send people out to capture a country and also harvest fear and justice points.
He even discovered that the pressure value of his title would increase as a result.
This was also the first time that Lu Li discovered this. Sometimes one does not have to come in person to show off. Sending his subordinates over can also achieve the same effect.
