Chapter 814: The World of the Rich
Quit?
After hearing Ling Yi's somewhat tough words, those who showed hesitation and wanted to protest suddenly died down.
The benefits that employing the Wood Spirit Seed can bring to a large force can be seen by anyone with some foresight. Whether it is the environmental transformation to enhance the aura, or the 'artificial spiritual liquid' that the wood spirit species can make on a regular basis that is comparable to high-quality spiritual energy, it is a benefit that is hard to refuse.
Especially for those forces that occupy a larger territory and have a higher quality of spiritual veins in their territory, this benefit is even greater.
Indeed, the loss of 40% of the amount of the 'Artificial Spirit Seed' produced by the Wood Spirit Seed made many representatives of the forces interested in hiring the Wood Spirit Seed in the Dream Realm feel very reluctant. But technology and manpower belong to the fantasy country, even if they are dissatisfied, the fantasy country does not worry about other trading partners at all, there are many countries in the Lingzi world, and there will always be people who are willing to trade with the fantasy country on this condition.
Even if you make less money, it's better than not earning at all.
"Wouldn't this way allowing the wood spirit seed to absorb the power of the spiritual veins cause the spiritual veins themselves to be excessively extracted and damage the local earth spirit qi and water vein spiritual energy?" Seeing that no one raised any objections to the allocation quota, a representative of the force opened his mouth and asked another question: "Not the reserves of spiritual veins in every piece of land are rich enough for us to take and use at will, right?"
[This aspect of the problem, our clan will naturally pay attention. Ling Yi said unhurriedly: [Our clan tends to use it as sustainably as possible on the premise of damaging the root of the spiritual vein. However, if our clan's ability to absorb the local spiritual veins is too restricted, correspondingly, the effect of environmental transformation and the efficiency of producing spiritual fluid will inevitably be affected. The geographical environment and the quality of the spiritual veins vary from place to place, and how much effort to make use of the spiritual veins will naturally ask the opinions of the local masters at that time. 】
"Understandable. The questioner nodded, and said nothing.
After waiting for a few seconds, seeing that no one spoke again, Ling Yi said: [It seems that you don't have any other questions for the time being, then, let me say it again, this auction, a total of 10,000 wood spirit seeds will be auctioned, divided into ten batches, each batch of wood spirit seeds is 1,000 trees, and the employment period is all ten years. The final bid for the auction is the employment fee this time. After reaching the employment period, depending on the situation, as long as both parties agree, you can choose to continue to sign a renewal contract with Dream Country!]
Ling Yi reintroduced the auction rules for the employment rights of the wood spirit species: [The auction for the employment rights of the first batch of wood spirit species will officially begin. The reserve price is 10,000 merit points, and each price increase must not be less than 1,000 merit points!
As soon as the words fell, the officially registered participants of the Dream World Auction this time, whether they were dreaming of the live stage, or those who received the internal situation of the auction through the corpse communicator in the outside world, a projected operation interface window appeared in front of them.
The operation interface presents a calculator-like keyboard layout, with ten numeric keys from 0~9, a few convenient unit keys, a few modifier keys, and a button labeled 'OK'. In addition, there is a double option for people to check, which says 'Open Auction' and 'Anonymous Bid', which are checked by default on the keyboard.
There were too many participants in this dream auction, even if you excluded the high-level representatives from various forces on the floating seat, each of the nine asteroids below the dream stage also had tens of thousands of guests participating in the form of dreams, and all of them added up to at least 100,000 people.
Coupled with those who did not choose to fall asleep, but stayed in the outside world to participate in the auction indirectly through the channel of the Soul Communicator, this number may have increased several times to a huge number of hundreds of thousands!
Hundreds of thousands of people, if they bid in the form of shouting like a traditional auction, you can imagine how chaotic it will be when countless voices are mixed together. When the brains count everyone's bidding data, it will also add a lot of unnecessary workload.
Therefore, for this auction, Dream Country has adopted the form of allowing guests to bid with a virtual operation keyboard, and if they want to find any price, they only need to write the price through the projection virtual operation keyboard, and then confirm and send it.
Another advantage of this bidding method is that each person's virtual operating keyboard is monitored by Zhi Brain, which is linked to their personal registered account data, and the guests participating in the auction need to deposit sufficient merit value in their accounts in advance, and then when bidding, Zhi Brain will automatically detect whether the balance in your account can afford the price you currently come up with, if the balance is not enough, then naturally do not want to participate in the bidding.
In this way, it directly eliminates the opportunity for some guys to make trouble by slapping their swollen faces and becoming fat during the auction.
After a few seconds of silence, the representatives of the Duragon Empire were the first to act, and as allies, they didn't mind being the first to cheer.
Looking at the operating keyboard that popped up in front of him, he had already learned about the relevant information announced by the brains long before the auction began, and directly clicked a few times to write the price, and then pressed the 'confirm' button without hesitation.
The next moment, another small window popped up, revealing a message.
"The price you are about to bid for is 11,000 merit points, please confirm whether to bid again ?——confirm canceling"
Naturally, there was no need to hesitate, and the representative of the Duragon Empire once again pointed his finger at the virtual button that said "Confirm".
The next moment, a crisp sound sounded in the void above his head, and then a huge three-dimensional block suddenly appeared, clearly marking the words "Duragon Empire: 11000" in very eye-catching colored fluorescent characters, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
At the same time, the announcement of the Zhi Brain also echoed in everyone's ears: [Duragon Empire, bid 11,000 merit points!]
This sentence was like throwing a lit torpedo into the otherwise calm waterhole, and it suddenly completely detonated the slightly quiet auction venue.
The next moment, large colorful characters emerged one after another from the seats of the representatives of various forces, and at the same time, there were continuous announcements and reminders from Zhi Brain.
[Nature Holy Sect, bid 13,000 merit points!]
[Unicorn United Nations, bid 15,000 merit points!]
[Qingqiu Mountain, bid 18,000 merit points!]
[Water Spirit Yuan Clan, bid 19,000 merit points!]
【Orlan Kingdom, Bid ......】
......
Listening to the announcement of Zhi Brain sentence after sentence, I watched the colorful special effects of the representatives of all parties sitting high above my head on the floating seats above my head......
Ninety-nine percent of the guests who participated in the auction this time, as well as the countless spectators who were watching the auction from the outside world, couldn't help but widen their eyes in surprise.
Then, they looked down at the bidding keyboard in front of them, and looked at the keys that had temporarily turned gray to indicate the 'unavailable' status, and an extra line of prompts on the keyboard: "We're sorry, your account balance does not meet the minimum requirements of the current auction and you cannot participate in the current auction!"
At this moment, an idea popped up in their minds as the people who have become melon-eaters-is this the real 'rich people'?
To be more precise, the performance of these bigwigs is no longer simply 'rich' that can be described, especially with the various visual effects and announcement announcements that Dream Country does not know for what reason they attach to the bidding, which makes the bidding competition of the representatives of these forces at this moment have a little more meaning of showing each other's strength.
Every time there are thousands of merit points, these guys add them directly and quickly without blinking their eyes, and the capital is so strong that countless people watching from the side are amazed.
At this moment, the merit values that emerge from these bidders represent not simple coins, but a huge amount of resources that ordinary people can hardly imagine, it may be land, minerals, population, and even a unique artifact. And this kind of resource is the direct embodiment of the national strength and heritage of all forces!
It must be noted that the currency unit used for bidding in this Dream Auction in the Dream Country is not a common gold coin or other coin, but a special virtual currency called "Merit Value" promoted by the Dream Country itself.
This special virtual currency is only used in the fantasy country and related industries, and under normal circumstances, it will not be exchanged with the monetary systems of other countries such as gold coins. This is because merit is a special currency that is used to purchase various high-level resources unique to the fantasy country, including [Data Program].
This is also understandable, after all, many high-level resources, including [data programs], are valuable and valuable if measured by mundane coins such as 'gold coins'.
For the strong people above the legendary realm, gold coins, which are minted by the rulers of mortal countries with ordinary metals, are just simple numbers, and they are actually worthless in themselves, and they are completely dependent on the commercial meaning given to them by social civilization called 'currency', and the value of this currency is essentially maintained by the rulers of social civilization on the basis of 'reputation', and once there is a problem with the 'reputation' of the party that issued the currency, it will immediately become worthless.
Therefore, the value of this currency is unreliable in the eyes of those powerful enough to transcend the rules of the world. Transactions between high-level powerhouses are often carried out in the form of 'bartering'.
With this in mind, and in order to take the opportunity to expand its prestige and influence, Dream Nation used its own "merit value" system for the bidding units adopted for this auction.
The specific method is to let people from the outside world submit various substantial resource items to the Dream Country, and after measuring the price that both parties are satisfied with with the "merit value", the things will be temporarily deposited in the Dream Country for safekeeping, so as to exchange the corresponding "merit points" and fill their accounts to participate in the bidding activities of the auction.
These resource items are not limited to types, or even physical objects.
Knowledge and information, secret techniques, scientific and technological materials, bloodline programs, natural treasures, artifact treasures, power cultivation, and resource ownership rights such as 'land and mineral deposits', and even sovereign contracts for individual creatures such as 'slave contracts', and even the souls and lifespans of intelligent beings ......!
As long as it is something of sufficient value, and this thing does belong to you, then you can take it to the Dream Country to find the brains for valuation, so as to convert it into the corresponding "merit value".
Taking disposable consumables as an example, the Lv.1 rating range corresponds to the items that are cultivated to the first-level unearthly realm, and the price of the merit value is usually 100~500;The Lv.2 rating range corresponds to the second-level hero realm, and the item price is 500~5000;The Lv.3 rating range corresponds to the legendary realm, and the item price starts from 5000, and there is no upper limit;As for the Lv.4 rating, the price of the item at this level corresponds to the Psychic realm, and the price of the items at this level starts at least 50,000 merit points.
Of course, the actual measurement of the amount of merit value that can be exchanged depends on the type of item itself, for example, the strength and utility of the two items are similar, and disposable consumables are definitely not as valuable as items that can be used multiple times.
In this way, everyone who wants to participate in the auction must recharge their account by selling resource items with real value. Of course, this will naturally cause some people to be dissatisfied.
The main reason is that what if a customer exchanges a valuable resource item for virtual merit points but does not spend them at auction?
For this reason, Dream Nation has set up a rule: all resource items whose value has reached the Lv.3 rating can choose an exchange method designated as an auction, and if the merit points exchanged in this way are not used by you in the auction, you can apply to Dream Land afterwards to redeem those resource items you used for exchange at the original price.
As for why it is necessary to have a value of Lv.3 or higher in order to apply for redemption...... Dream Country said: What is allowed to be redeemed, Dream Country is responsible for keeping it for a certain period of time, if items of any level can be redeemed, the consumption of manpower and material resources that Dream Country needs to invest in the storage of such items is a bit too large.
Therefore, only items with a Lv.3 rating or higher will have enough value to be safeguarded by the Dream Nation. As for the value below this standard...... It's a big deal, you use merit points to buy equivalent goods from the fantasy country.
In addition, because of the large number of auction items in the Dream World Auction, it is inevitable that the auction time will be relatively long, and there is no restriction on the identity of the participants, and many people may not be able to follow the auction continuously for a long time, so the Dream Country deliberately set the auction time to be held in the time period when most people have free nights, and divided it into several consecutive days to carry out one by one.
Before the end of the overall process of the auction, those things that are placed in the hands of the Dream Nation to temporarily exchange merit points cannot be redeemed in advance. This time will last at least half a month.
This is also to make it easier for some people to temporarily entrust new items to the Dream World Auction for auction halfway, and for some people to deliberately extend the time when they find that the merit value they have exchanged is not enough and want to exchange more.
In addition, this time is also more convenient for those who entrust the items to the Dream Land for auction, and use the merit points that have just been harvested through the auction to select and bid on the auction items released by other sellers in this auction, thus indirectly realizing 'barter'.
On the surface, these rules are set up by Dream Land for the sake of customers. But in fact, this is actually just a rule that Jiang Yan deliberately formulated for his own benefit.
The real purpose is actually to allow Jiang Yan to have enough time to analyze the items with data abilities before the original owner redeems them, so as to collect precious data when he receives some temporary exchange items of extraordinary value in the Dream Country!
