Since the cloud network is a comprehensive spell network, allowing arcane bits, magic bits, and even psionic energy to be connected to the grid, it will inevitably involve the issue of mutual exchange, and a set of clear and reasonable cloud asset pricing standards must be given.

Roland's approach can be called simple and rude, simply abolishing the traditional Austrian currency and god currency system, and all kinds of cloud assets are designated as the official currency of the Kingdom of Kolas-Teller-as the only denomination and settlement currency!

Specific to the issue of asset pricing, out of respect for traditional habits and for the sake of stability, Roland follows the fixed price comparison formula between different spell slots (N-ring spell slots = (2N-1) 1-ring spell slots), and at the same time releases the pricing power of 1-ring spell slots (1 point of psionic energy), and the "invisible hand" of the market automatically determines how much gold taler is worth of 1 ring spell slot (1 point of psionic energy), and then calculates the monetary value of high-ring spells through the formula, and when the supply and demand relationship on the cloud network changes, The price of the cloud asset will also be automatically adjusted accordingly until a new equilibrium price is reached.

In Roland's vision, the Arcane Bit and the Divine Skill Bit are no longer exclusive resources for mages and priests, and if the use value is not considered, there is no essential difference between the financial attributes of the two, they are just different asset objects.

"A mage can't cast magic skills, but he can sell the arcane slots in his cloud network account and buy the magic slots at the same time, although he can't cast any magic slots, he can achieve the purpose of asset appreciation by holding a position in the magic slots - of course, if the market changes cause the arcane slots to appreciate and the magic slots depreciate sharply, he has to suffer property losses for his investment mistakes."

Roland's description of "cloud assets" mainly draws on the foreign exchange market on the earth, if the arcane bit, magic bit, and psionic point are regarded as the currencies of different countries, buying and selling cloud assets is actually the same thing as speculating in foreign exchange.

Cloud network not only provides users with an investment platform similar to the "foreign exchange market", but also has great political significance.

In the Far East, and in the world of Varess as a whole, the caster class can be divided into arcane groups (colleges), magic groups (churches), and psionic groups (monasteries). The Manifester class has less influence and is mainly concentrated in wild places such as the Celestial Desert and the New World, while in the civilized world, there is a long history of conflict between arcane spellcasters and divine spellcasters, and there are still deep-seated prejudices and contradictions. Not only was the Holy See's bloody crackdown on arcane spellcasters, but even the Far East, where the Holy Light See's theocracy was expelled, and arcane spellcasters such as mages, warlocks, and poets tended to stay away from clerics such as priests and paladins.

The caster is naturally superior, and both the Arcane Group and the Divine Magic Group are indispensable backing for the rise of the Far East, but the contradiction between the two groups has become a huge hidden danger.

An important factor in Roland's advocacy of establishing the "Cloud Network" is to provide a "Divine Bank" for the "Sindra Church" in the Far East, and make full use of the Divine Resources for national construction, so that there is no need to rely too much on the arcane support of Beacon Mountain, and then establish a trading link between the Divine Spellcaster and the Arcane Caster through the Cloud Network, binding the two major spellcaster groups into a community of interests, and finally achieving the goal of resolving the conflict.

The second topic of Roland's presentation was "Cloud Services".

Cloud-network users can not only buy and sell cloud assets, but also buy and sell cloud services, so what is a "cloud service"?

Any spell casting or manifestation can be split into two parts, first with spell slots (psionic points) and second with spellcasting (manifestation) abilities.

Taking magic as an example, it is broken down into two parts: "ownership" and "ability to exercise", so that the spell bit represents "ownership", and the spellcasting act represents "ability to exercise". The traditional notion of the world of Varess is that the two are inseparable, but this is purely short-sighted.

A person can only have the ability to cast spells and not be able to spell slots, such as a mage who has used up his spell slots, and then he has the need to buy spell slots. On the other hand, a person may not be able to cast spells, but they can completely possess spell slots, just like an ordinary person picking up a magic scroll, isn't this a windfall, and can't be sold to the aforementioned brother who has used up his spell slots at a mutually acceptable price? To take a more straightforward example: the owner of the horse farm does not know how to ride a horse himself, but who can stop him from buying a horse and selling it to a skilled rider at a premium?

Throughout the history of capitalist development on the earth, it is actually a process of continuous division between "ownership" and "right to use (management)", from which two complementary subcategories of "financial capital" and "industrial capital" have evolved. Magic is also a kind of capital, and of course conforms to the general laws of the evolution of capital. At present, the people of the world of Vares, including legendary sages like Andre, are bound by traditional concepts, focusing only on the use value of magic without fully recognizing its financial value, and what Roland has to do now is to use the spell network to decompose the "ownership" and "use rights" of magic, so as to strip away the financial attributes of magic, and of course, the most important thing is to profit from it.

A "cloud service" is a service that provides spell casting or manifestation, such as arcane, magical, mechanical, or psychic abilities.

"For example, if a person has an arcane bit worth 1 million gold in his cloud network account, but he himself is a devout priest and cannot cast arcane skills, but he can provide arcane slots and hire other mages to perform arcane slots on him, and the fee paid for this is the price of 'cloud services'."

Roland explained the definition of "cloud service" to the audience with vivid examples.

"The same spell service, such as stone shaping, is likely to have different spell casting prices in different regions, and the cloud network will regularly collect spell casting prices in various places and provide them to users for reference, and users who need spell casting services can check the cloud service price list in their own region, compare transaction fees and the credit rating of the service provider, and finally make a choice to buy the cloud service that they think is the most affordable."

From "cloud services", Roland naturally leads to the next topic - "cloud products".

"At the same time, the 'cloud network' also provides users with a trading platform where spellcasters or demonstrators can sell their own magic scrolls, magic potions, magic staffs, and other types of magic guides, spiritual weapons and other goods for others to buy, and these goods sold on the 'cloud network' are collectively referred to as 'cloud goods'. Roland concluded.
