Monsters Are Coming

Chapter 1474: Chapter 380: This World Is Overly Abstract (Part 3)

The strength will automatically be converted into "wealth value," and the battle method will change to numerical comparison.

For example, if he goes up now to face the cultivators of this world.

The moment their bodies touch, numbers will appear above their heads.

Once the wealth comparison ends, if his number is not higher than the opponent’s, he will be instantly defeated, losing the ability to fight.

In this world, the way to enhance strength is simple, which is making money.

All spiritual material entering the Golden Authority World will be converted into wealth value and infused into the holder’s personal account.

This gave rise to cultivators specializing in cross-dimensional hunting, who form teams and leave the Golden Authority World through various teleportation arrays to explore the Monster World.

They search for prey, Spirit Plants, and various spiritual resources, then return to the Golden Power Space to automatically convert them into wealth value.

It can be understood that the Monster World is seen as a "Secret Realm" by the cultivators of the Golden Authority World.

Different teleportation arrays connect to different Secret Realm scenes.

The Secret Realm is filled with various unknown risks, and a slight carelessness can lead to irreparable disaster.

But the rewards of exploring the Secret Realm are very substantial, with various Heavenly Treasures, legacy fortunes, Strong Clan ruins... Gaining opportunities and bringing them back to the Golden Authority World can be turned into "Wealth Cultivation."

Secondly, value can be created internally through operations.

For example, large Spirit Fields in cities are production materials that can regularly produce wealth value.

The produced Spirit Plants can be directly converted into wealth value, or sold to other cultivators, refined into Spirit Pills or Spiritual Artifacts, increasing wealth.

Information, transportation, entertainment consumption... cultivators in Space can earn wealth by providing services, converting the earned wealth directly into personal strength.

Similarly, each consumption will also cause wealth value to drop.

A well-developed growth system gave birth to special institutions similar to banks in this world.

They earn the spread by absorbing deposits and granting loans.

Institutions similar to securities exchanges and fund models also exist.

Cultivators can increase their wealth through financial activities such as deposits, investments, and loans.

For instance, the Heavenly Cultivation Alliance in the Golden Authority World decided to explore the Secret Realm (Monster World) recently.

It is certain that the process of exploring the Monster World entails huge risks.

To increase the success rate of this exploration, the Heavenly Cultivation Alliance will initiate fundraising, using wealth value provided by other cultivators to enhance their own exploration team’s strength.

For example, in Tianquan City, the "Wanxiang Treasure Pavilion" publishes the "Secret Realm Exploration Plan," detailing project contents, risk levels, etc.

During this period, the total funds required for the project will be divided into equal "returns shares."

For example, each share is worth 1 million wealth, and cultivators can subscribe to one or more shares based on their financial capabilities.

Then, the return mechanism needs to be clarified.

The commonly adopted model is fixed income plus profit sharing.

After the exploration ends, regardless of the harvest, the Heavenly Cultivation Alliance will first take out a portion of the revenue and return it to investors based on shares, ensuring their basic return.

The remaining profit will be distributed according to the investment ratio; the more the investment, the more the profit sharing.

However, while this investment mode brings external wealth, it also presents risks.

If the exploration fails, and the entire Secret Realm exploration team is wiped out, then all investors will lose their principal.

Everything the Heavenly Cultivation Alliance invested will also suffer losses.

In this model, the Heavenly Cultivation Alliance is the financier.

By relinquishing some future revenue, they leverage investments provided by the public and other forces to bolster the exploration team’s strength.

It’s equivalent to using others’ money to do one’s own business, sharing profits together when successful, and bearing losses together when unsuccessful—a leverage operation.

For investors (loose cultivators, other organizations).

The Heavenly Cultivation Alliance’s fundraising offers an opportunity to participate in high-yield projects.

They may not have the strength or time to explore the Monster World themselves but can share in the benefits of Secret Realm exploration through investment.

Regarding the extent of investment risk, it depends on the area connected by the teleportation array.

Such financial activities promote the flow of wealth values in the Golden Power Space, directing capital to places likely to yield high returns, enhancing the efficiency and speed of the entire "Golden Power Civilization" in plundering external resources and expanding the total wealth.

Moreover, the cultivators of this world can extract strength from the circulation of societal wealth in various ways, enhancing their personal strength.

With the guidance, Bao Yan gained a clearer understanding of the framework of the Golden Power Civilization’s system.

But what he found most abstract was the cultivation realm divisions listed by the guidance in the light screen.

This world’s cultivation system is divided into two kinds, respectively called: Righteous Path and Demon Cultivator.

The cultivation realm levels of these two systems are entirely the same.

The first realm: Qi Cultivation Stage (1 to 10 steps 1-100,000 wealth.)

The second realm: Foundation Establishment Stage (100,000-1,000,000 wealth)

The third realm: Golden Core Stage (1,000,000-10,000,000 wealth)

The fourth realm: Nascent Soul Stage (10,000,000-25,000,000 wealth)

The fifth realm: Divinity Transformation (100,000,000-1,000,000,000 wealth)

The sixth realm: Tribulation (1,000,000,000+ wealth)

...

After looking at the realm divisions of the Righteous Path, Bao Yan still felt normal.

Compared to the outside world, although the battle method was simplified under the influence of rules, it is essentially still a realm composed of combat power values.

The abstract part lies in the existence of a Demon Cultivator that is completely opposed to the Righteous Path in the Golden Power Civilization.

If the growth path of the Righteous Path equates making money with cultivation growth.

Then the growth system of Demon Cultivators can be termed as the "debt leverage" progression method.
