Monsters Are Coming

Chapter 1367 - 356: Trading Reform and Super Scalpers

Primordial Altar.Qi Sheng’s gaze focused on Earth.

On the screen.

The Life Book stood on the ocean surface, silver robes swirling, gently tapping with the magic wand.

Plastic garbage, discarded fishing nets, oil stains...various trash were invisibly drawn from the seabed and all directions to the ocean surface, quickly piling into a mountain beneath the Life Book’s feet.

He raised his hand and waved, and the silver beam shot from the magic wand generated nine silver pillars once more.

Reconstructing the Refining Array.

But this time, it was no longer refining flesh and blood.

Microplastics, oil stains, chemical toxins, nuclear wastewater...all sent into the Refining Array for refining.

The seawater became clear at a visible speed, sparkling with shimmering light.

Then the Life Book pierced his fingertip, letting a drop of blood fall into the ocean.

Vigorous vitality instantly spread from the ocean surface beneath his feet, causing the fish that came into contact with the blood to swell in size, silver patterns appearing on their bodies.

Some fish were even burst by the vitality, scaring the Life Book to instinctively shrink his neck.

He decisively controlled the speed at which this drop of blood released vitality.

Wherever the blood energy flowed, coral reefs grew wildly, covering the seabed below.

Determined to quickly obtain player qualifications, the Life Book started to diligently execute the purification project.

At that time, it was the Pacific Ocean that was damaged, but the Dragon Sparrow Destiny Master required him to purify all the seas of Earth.

Purifying all marine pollution caused by Earth’s living beings.

During this period, the Life Book discovered that there were many pollutants in the ocean that couldn’t be purified through refining.

This type was commonly energy elements brought by other descending powers, not dissolving within Earth’s circulatory system.

The Life Book decomposed and extracted this type of energy, directly tossing it into the Void World, where it would be devoured and absorbed by the void.

Afterwards, he had to begin the Spiritual Energy Cultivation project for Earth.

Improving Earth’s habitat level.

This was a colossal renovation project, and creation was far more difficult than destruction.

But considering the future where he could freely run in Monster World as a player.

Even gaining blessings from the Rule Power in the Life Soul Library, and resurrecting with full health upon death...this kind of effort, it wasn’t even worthy of the joy that would ultimately come.

This was his chance to break free from life’s shackles.

Not only for a year, even for a hundred years, a thousand years, he would willingly endure.

At this moment, the Life Book wasn’t aware that his every movement was under the watchful eyes of the "High-dimensional God" he revered.

Qi Sheng also withdrew his gaze at this time.

The Earth improvement project was originally part of his future plans.

Although Earth’s importance was far less than Imperial Tomb Village, it was nonetheless a subsequent player recruitment location.

Environmental improvement could fundamentally enhance the life strength of Earth’s living beings and extend their lifespan.

Coupled with support from the Evolution Store, Earth players won’t worry about real-world concerns afterward.

Now with the Destiny Clan stepping in, the troubles were saved.

His gaze then turned towards the Player Forum.

Recently, he noticed a significant increase in "arbitrage" players in the Trading House.

Many of them appeared after this round of 50 million player qualifications were distributed.

These players were still in the tourist phase but began to thoroughly understand various price information in the Trading House, dedicating all their energy to it.

Just like sharks smelling blood, analyzing price information day and night.

Their purpose was to profit through the Trading House after obtaining player qualifications.

That’s what forums players call: knowledge is sacrificial power.

Even subtracting the handling fees, buying low and selling high could yield profits, a method seen by many newcomers as a way to rapidly expand sacrificial power gains early on.

Among these players were professionals in finance.

Through Guidance’s investigation, it was discovered.

Some players in the tourist phase intensely watched Trading House information for over ten hours a day.

They recorded dense tables of price differences for different types of spiritual materials, and some players compiled daily drops affecting price fluctuations.

Even predicting price increases when each round of qualifications is distributed and numerous newcomers join.

This fluctuation cycle could be precise down to peak changes in morning, noon, and night.

More professional players turned their collected Trading House data into simulation software.

Hoping to predict price trends for various products in the Trading House.

These players meticulously planned everything ahead, only waiting to obtain player qualifications, to start trading in the buy-low-sell-high mode.

Aiming to leverage the least sacrificial power for the maximized profit.

Facts proved, players using the Trading House as financial software indeed profited from it.

Unlike ordinary newcomer players who were keen to explore maps or challenge monsters, they treated the Trading House as a growth path for gaining sacrificial power.

They precisely calculated trading plans to rapidly gain sacrificial power, from the price fluctuation cycle of spiritual materials to the changes in player numbers across different factions.

In Qi Sheng’s eyes, this behavior was meaningless.

Essentially, it’s creating profit through other players without providing any help to faction development.

Even in the early pioneering stage, there were players buying low and selling high.

But such players were very few and wouldn’t make reselling their main source of growth profit.

However, as the player count grew, more professional financial trading players joined.

The Trading House became a gold mine in the eyes of many players.

Qi Sheng fundamentally agreed on the viewpoint that knowledge brings wealth.
