Chapter 975 Transfer Payment
"When payment is needed, create it and use it for payment. What humans in this world lack the least is various costs."

"Suppose there is a relic that can produce one ton of gold at the cost of one piece of wood. On the other hand, there must be a relic that can produce ten pieces of wood at the cost of ten grams of gold."

"Just make wood when you need gold."

"Make gold when wood is needed."

"These two relics can achieve a cycle, and even reverse the meter, so that resources can increase infinitely. These resources can be used on other relics that need to pay such costs, completing a more comprehensive transfer payment."

"Of course, such an ideal situation rarely exists. Two relics that can be converted into each other are rare, but as long as there are enough relics, a relatively complete cycle can be formed."

"If two relics can't be formed, what about three?"

"One relic made gold out of stone, one relic made wood out of gold, and one relic made stone out of wood. The three relics form a complete cycle."

"What if there are still three? Then four... The more relics there are, the more chances there are to form a cycle, to form a bond between resources, to convert between them, and there are more chances to change."

"This is just the simplest case. Let's talk about a more complicated case. Suppose the cost of one relic is to make a person's hair grow wildly, and the cost of another relic is to pay for the user's hair. Then a balance can be reached between these two relics."

"It is not only possible to achieve a balance between capability and cost, but also between cost and cost. This cycle is not a one-way chain, but a two-way chain."

"This way, there will be more choices. As long as more relics participate in the cycle, it will be easier to achieve 'perpetual motion' of resources..."

As Wang Chuan spoke, Li Luo's expression became more serious.

“But this requires a middle point to coordinate all the relics, just like a government responsible for transfer payments. Only when the resources are collected by the same owner can these capabilities and costs be planned in a coordinated manner.”

Li Luo frowned and added.

"Yes, you are right." Wang Chuan seemed also surprised. He did not expect Li Luo to be able to directly state the key point.

"The compensation for relics needs to be calculated. Sometimes the exchange between 'wood' and 'gold' is not that simple. The more resources involved in the transfer payment, the greater the amount of calculation required and the more accessories generated. The coordination of these resources requires an intermediary to be responsible."

Li Luo nodded: "This middle point must be connected to the recipient of the transfer payment. Only when it is connected to each recipient can resources be mobilized in time when the price is paid."

Hearing Li Luo's words, Wang Chuan stopped.

"You are very smart. After I obtained this information, it took me a long time to figure out how the humans in this world did it. I didn't expect that you would figure it all out after I only revealed a little bit..."

"That's not what I thought." Li Luo hesitated for a moment and replied, "Do you know Yuanxin Technology?"

"I know. A technology group. What's wrong with that?" "Yuanxin Technology has been researching similar things, compensation for the cost of relics, but because we have too few relics, we have never been able to realize it." Li Luo explained lightly.

Hearing this, Wang Chuan was stunned for a moment: "Is there such a thing? Are you from Yuanxin Technology?"

"Well, I guess so." Li Luo's voice suddenly became smaller, and he seemed reluctant to mention these things.

Wang Chuan also noticed her uneasiness, so he stopped asking questions and started walking forward again.

"This research does require a sufficient number of relics, and specific relics, the kind that can link all existences together. The humans in this world have found such relics."

"Is it a communication-type relic?" Li Luo asked anxiously.

“Not really, but I do have some communication skills. To be more precise, it’s a—backpack.”

"Backpack?"

"Yes, a backpack, the kind in the game. Whether you open it here or in the distance, it leads to the same place. The relic itself is a backpack, but the people in this world suddenly had an idea and defined the user of this backpack as 'all those who use the relic'."

"As long as you use a relic, the cost will be automatically deducted from the backpack. The excess resources generated by using the relic will also be automatically stuffed into the backpack, just like those four-dimensional backpacks in the game. They don't exist on the user, but they exist."

"Those connected people don't know the existence of such a backpack, but in fact they all carry this non-existent 'backpack' and become backpack users, just like invisible threads connecting all these people together."

"Because the backpack itself belongs to the user, when the user pays for the relic, the relic price will also deduct the resources in the backpack, similar to 'paying gold coins' in the game. The gold coins do not actually exist on the character, but in the non-existent backpack, expressed as a string of numbers. This string of numbers may be connected to other places. Even if it is not on the character, it is considered the character's property."

"Think about it, when a character in the game consumes a bottle of potion, does it really consume a bottle of potion? Of course not, it's just that the number in the code is subtracted by 1, and then a state is added to the character. The exchange of resources is actually completed at the bottom level of the code, and the change of the character outside is just a 'surface'."

"This is the power of the 'backpack'. It has no restrictions on who can use it. Anyone can connect to it. It's just that the space inside needs to be expanded at a cost. For humans in this world, the cost is the least of their worries. They just need to 'create' it with other relics."

"Getting something for nothing?" Li Luo said in a deep voice: "As long as the recycling of resources is achieved, all relics can be used at no cost..."

"That's right." Wang Chuan nodded: "Creation, payment, and continued creation, to achieve infinite expansion and regeneration of resources. This is what the humans in this world are doing. It is also the greatest treasure they left behind. The Heavenly Soldiers are just the tip of the iceberg of this treasure."

"So, what you actually want is the entire backpack, not just the power of the heavenly soldiers?" Li Luo looked at Wang Chuan's back and asked seriously.

Wang Chuan in front shook his head: "My appetite is not that big. What I want is the power of the heavenly soldiers. I dare not touch that backpack. You should also know that the so-called 'no price' actually requires paying something."

"The human race in this world perished not without reason. Greed does not end well. Wanting to use the power of the abyss while not following the principle of equal exchange will only lead to disaster. This treasure is very dangerous, I will not touch it..."
