The Monster is Coming

Chapter 332 Frenzied Bidding, Tax Regulation

The newly added "Evolution Shop" option on the Monster World website has caused a huge stir across the globe, like a meteorite hitting a calm lake.

At this time, the main city of the human race rose to prominence.

Holographic projections wove together the official website interface of the Monster World and the real-time updated bidding figures on the Evolution Shop auction page in the center of the circular conference hall.

The newly appointed chief speaker, Lu Mingyuan, tapped his fingertips on the metal table with a rhythmic sound.

This is a way of thinking that has been preserved since the era of mechanized warfare. Even after rising from the military to the highest level of power, he still maintains the unique sense of rhythm of a battlefield commander.

Every three light taps were followed by a heavy tap, just like the countdown to artillery barrage that took place in the armored command vehicle back in the day.

This habit, which had previously caused many of his colleagues who came from civil service backgrounds to secretly frown, unexpectedly soothed the tense nerves in the meeting room at this moment.

Just then, several more projections appeared on the seats in the conference room.

Once all attendees were in place, Lu Mingyuan's expression turned extremely serious, and he said in a deep voice:

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's get straight to the point. We are all witnessing a turning point in civilization."

As he spoke, he looked up at the projection of the Minister of Science and Technology, who had first proposed convening an emergency meeting.

The Minister of Science and Technology nodded at this point, then stood up and looked at the light screen to introduce:
"These are four special items that the Lunar Eclipse Clan has put on the 'Evolution Shop' feature, which is the latest feature on the Monster World website. Each item contains technology that surpasses our clan's level. My suggestion is to use as much of our clan's sacrificial power as possible to take one of each item for reverse engineering."

Upon hearing these words, the holographic image of the Wind City Lord, sitting in the second row, flickered:
"Reverse engineering? Since the Lunar Eclipse Clan dares to sell them openly, they're not afraid of being reverse engineered. Don't forget, we can't even replicate the basic energy modules they used thirty years ago, let alone these evolutionary products that defy common sense."

"How will we know if it will work if we don't try? Whether it's feasible or not, we have to start by trying." The Minister of Science and Technology frowned.

Upon hearing this, the City Lord of Fengcheng softened his tone:
“I’m not against your idea of ​​buying research, but I think the difficulty of cracking it is too great, so I’m giving you a heads-up. The resources invested in the cracking project are unlikely to be recovered. The problem now is where we’re going to find the sacrificial power needed for the auction. Players’ assets in the Monster World are not under our control… Fortunately, I’m a qualified player and can provide 2980 sacrificial power. This is all my assets, and I will fully support your reverse engineering.”

Hearing the City Lord of Fengcheng make a joke with a serious expression, everyone present burst into laughter.

The Minister of Science and Technology shook his head helplessly:

"There's no need to worry about the sacrificial power issue. We've made preparations in advance for the monster world, and now there are two channels that can provide us with sacrificial power."

"The first channel is the members of the Dome Research Center who obtained player status early on. They created the Doomsday Technology Guild in the game, which is a very famous arms dealer guild in the player faction. In the early days, they earned sacrificial power by selling technological weapons. Now, the strength of the weapons they develop can no longer keep up with the growth speed of the player's Star Pulse system. However, they opened up channels for mining external resources through the wealth they accumulated in the early days. Now they produce sacrificial power in the monster world by producing mining robots."

"The second channel is the members of the Gene Department. They created an organization in the Monster World that players call the Alchemist Guild. They cultivate and research spiritual plants in the spiritual fields outside the Monster World and earn sacrificial power by customizing special potions for players. They also have a lot of sacrificial power reserves that we can use to participate in this auction, so it shouldn't be a problem for us to get a few items."

"We only have one question before us: do we need to invest a huge amount of sacrificial resources to bid for products from the Evolution Shop for research?"

"The value of sacrificial power has now surpassed that of other currencies. We could have used it to directly contact the Lunar Eclipse Clan and purchase many new technologies. If we invest in reverse engineering, we may gain nothing, but it may also bring unexpected surprises."

“Sacrificial power is a special resource belonging to the Human Federation. I do not have the authority to make direct decisions on this expenditure, so I would like to have it voted on through the Supreme Council.”

After listening to the Minister of Science and Technology's explanation, all the participants understood the core of this meeting.

After the Minister of Science and Technology sat down, Lu Mingyuan asked:
“Three questions.” He held up one finger:
"First, how many items can we acquire with our current sacrificial power reserves?"

Upon hearing this, the Minister of Science and Technology displayed a set of real-time data on the projector:
"Based on the current auction prices, we can guarantee that we'll secure one of each item, but only if the top guilds in the Monster World don't bid. If they pool their resources to bid, our sacrificial power reserves won't be enough. For example, if the Divine Hall guild pools its resources to bid, there are many other guilds in the player camp with substantial sacrificial power reserves."

Lu Mingyuan nodded and raised his second finger:
"Originally, this batch of sacrificial power had been clearly negotiated with the Lunar Eclipse Clan for the construction of the city's nutrient solution base. If it is diverted to the reverse engineering, what backup plans do we have to reduce the loss of resources if the reverse engineering fails?"

"No." The Minister of Science and Technology shook his head, his expression grave in the projection:

"Reverse engineering is a gamble. If it fails, all that sacrificial power will be wasted... However, the Longevity Pill is special. There might still be some powder left after breaking the residue. Taking it should have some effect."

These words elicited another chuckle from the attendees.

"The third question is, what do you think is the purpose of the Lunar Eclipse Clan launching the Evolution Shop?" Lu Mingyuan's question silenced the meeting room.

The Minister of Science and Technology pushed up the smart glasses frame:

“From a technical point of view, this level of technology sharing is indeed very unusual. Before this, we had requested more advanced spiritual plant cultivation equipment, but we had never been approved by the Lunar Eclipse Clan. Now, however, we are beginning to share higher-level research results.”

The Minister of Science and Technology frowned and said:
"Perhaps they have other plans? Through this method..."

"Don't overthink it," the City Lord of Fengcheng interrupted directly.
"Let me reiterate: if the Lunar Eclipse Clan truly intended to harm us, with their level of civilization and technology, they could simply take action directly. Why make things so complicated? Since we began cooperating, the Lunar Eclipse Clan has shared so much technology and resources with us. Did they just want to see the despair we show when our trust crumbled?"

The Chief Financial Officer nodded in agreement:

"Indeed, the technology they have provided over the years has genuinely improved people's lives and helped us clean up the environmental pollution caused by the impending war. If they really wanted to deal with us, there would be no need for such a complicated plan."

"But this time is different," the Minister of Science and Technology insisted.
"This involves optimization technologies related to the essence of life, such as life extension and gene enhancement, etc..."

Just as the various parties were debating this, the military representative suddenly interrupted:

"Gentlemen, our current debate is exactly the same as the one we had when we discussed whether to connect to the Star Network. Back then, we couldn't understand why the Lunar Eclipse Clan would provide technical support for free... Now the same question has come back. If there really is some conspiracy, wouldn't it be simpler for the Lunar Eclipse Clan to just take action directly, given their demonstrated technological strength? Why go through all this trouble?"

This pointed question plunged the meeting room into a brief silence.

At this moment, Chief Speaker Lu Mingyuan tapped on the table, interrupting the subsequent discussion:
"The objective is no longer important; what matters is that we must participate. All races of the Earth Alliance have already taken action. Falling behind means being eliminated, just like when we connected to the Star Network. This is an important juncture in the tide of the times."

"Perhaps to the Lunar Eclipse Clan, this behavior is like how we don't care about providing basic medical support to underdeveloped areas. Maybe there's no need to delve into it. Let's start voting."

The vote passed quickly.

By the end of the meeting, everyone understood that not getting on board meant falling behind.

History always repeats itself surprisingly.

Regardless of the Lunar Eclipse Clan's motives, the Human Federation can no longer avoid this wave of evolution.

……

Besides the Human Federation, members and high-ranking members of other races in the Earth Alliance are also paying attention to the suddenly launched Evolution Shop.

In a small town tavern after the city was destroyed.

A pale-skinned, dejected man stared at the Longevity Pill on the Evolution Shop page of his phone. His eyes gradually lit up, and he couldn't help but burst into wild laughter.
"I've been mining for half a year and accumulating sacrificial power. Finally, I can find a new way to survive. It was worth it!"

The Great Barbarian City, a gene therapy center.

The aging warrior, immersed in the nutrient solution, suddenly opened his eyes and then violently pounded on the bulkhead. The nerve tubing connected to his body surface shook continuously, and the muscles under the regeneration membrane quickly collapsed in the throbbing.

The medical staff stared in horror at the soaring adrenaline curve on the monitor, while the old man's cloudy pupils reflected the "Star Marrow Elixir" in the Evolution Shop on the auxiliary screen in front of him.
"Go and collect the sacrificial power... collect... sacrificial power."

The old barbarian's withered fingers trembled as he pointed at the screen in front of him.

The mechanical wars of that year damaged his body with intense radiation, leaving him barely clinging to life.

Even the technology of the Lunar Eclipse Clan could only barely sustain his life; he could die at any moment.

In order to alleviate his physical pain, he could only do so through the virtual world.

But at that moment, he saw a glimmer of hope for survival.

As long as there is sacrificial power, this decaying body will regain its vitality.

However, he did not have the qualifications to play Monster World, so he could only purchase items from the Evolution Shop by acquiring the Sacrificial Power from other players.

No matter the cost, he was determined to acquire a piece of Star Essence Liquid.

The Wood Spirit Clan, Eco-City.

On the balcony entwined with emerald vines, a Wood Spirit man dressed in a moon-white robe stood silently.

He held a half-withered spirit leaf between his slender fingers, while his other hand gripped the monitor.

At this moment, his light green pupils contracted slightly, reflecting the clear light emanating from the "Purifying Lotus" in the Evolution Shop as it unfurled its petals.

A strand of hair slipped from behind his ear, and he subconsciously swallowed.

This thing is a fatal temptation for the Wood Spirit Clan.

The Earth's environment is too polluted for them, and every time they step out of the ecological dome, they have to wear breathing apparatus to filter out excessive pollutants in the air.

Even the most advanced air purification systems cannot replicate the pure atmosphere described in historical books.

Their skin would crack from the excessive metal particles, and their lungs would burn from the excessive industrial fumes.

According to the teacher, you are the class with the worst physical condition that I have ever taught, and the evaluation is that each generation is worse than the last.

This is never a joke; it's a harsh reality.

The description of the Purifying Lotus states that it has the effects of purifying the air, generating spiritual energy, and optimizing the environment.

Although it can only have an effect on a small scale, it may allow the outstanding new generation selected by the Wood Spirit Clan to revert to their ancestral state under the nourishment of spiritual energy and obtain the power that their ancestors once possessed.

The Shield Guardians, Night Demons, Sky Feathers… all the races of the Earth Alliance were incredibly surprised by the latest auction items launched on the Monster World website.

They never imagined that the Lunar Eclipse Clan possessed such advanced technology.

Longevity pills, star marrow elixir, thunder-tempered bones, purifying lotus... these divine items, comparable to those in myths and even novels, are now openly listed with price tags on the Monster World official website.

Furthermore, the use of each item can not only enhance physical attributes, but also provide synchronous feedback to the player's body in the monster world.

This is clearly another significant step in StarNet's promotion of the Monster World.

Discussions among the public are becoming increasingly heated in forums for various ethnic groups, gaming forums, and on the streets.

"I'm already very satisfied to have experienced Monster World, a perfect virtual reality game, in my lifetime. I never thought I would live to see the arrival of the Evolution Era. It seems like the speed of development of the times has suddenly accelerated."

"Just how many good things are the Lunar Eclipse Clan hiding? They always manage to pull out a groundbreaking product every now and then. They must be cheating."

"The launch of the Evolution Store is far more shocking than those two tech products. If the description in the store's introduction is true, I can't even imagine what it will become in the future."

"Ugh, I'm not qualified, so I can't enjoy the monster world, and I can't keep up with the pace of the evolutionary era. So I'm being eliminated by the times? Damn beings from the upper realm, don't release anything new before I get player status. I'm so jealous and upset."

The launch of the Evolution Shop completely overturned the perceptions of the Lunar Eclipse Clan among members of the Earth Alliance.

At an emergency meeting of high-ranking officials from various races, a consensus is forming: the overall strength of the Lunar Eclipse Clan must be reassessed. A civilization capable of mass-producing goods of this caliber clearly possesses a level of technology that surpasses the combined strength of all other forces in the Earth Alliance.

In fact, it has long been argued that the technology of the Lunar Eclipse Clan might not be a match for the combined technology of all the races in the Earth Alliance.

However, this viewpoint cannot be verified from any angle.

After all, the Lunar Eclipse Clan has never truly participated in war.

Each time an invasion war is launched, the main focus is on providing various weapons and equipment and logistical support.

So even though they knew the Lunar Eclipse Clan was very strong, they never had a clear idea of ​​exactly how strong they were.

The appearance of the Monster World and the Evolution Shop has refreshed the understanding of the strength of the Lunar Eclipse Clan among all races.

As for whether there is a potential conspiracy theory behind StarNet's actions, apart from a few powerful races in the Earth Alliance such as the Humans discussing it, many races did not even bring it up in the emergency meeting.

Similar conspiracy theories have existed since the time when the StarNet network connected various races.

Ultimately, the StarNet network became the core hub for interaction among the various races of the Earth Alliance.

This is even more true today.

The Lunar Eclipse Clan has demonstrated a combat power that can easily crush the Earth Alliance. In the face of absolute power, conspiracy is meaningless.

They could easily crush them with their strength, so why bother with scheming and plotting? It's all unnecessary.

During this period, auctions for the newly listed products are in full swing.
In the first round of bidding, in addition to individual players, the governments (highest level) of various races in the Earth Alliance also participated.

Even governments of various ethnic groups have simultaneously activated their highest-level scientific research procurement plans, regarding these auctioned items as strategic resources capable of altering the course of civilization.

The purpose of filming is not only for personal use, but also for reverse engineering and analysis.

The Human Federation Academy of Sciences, the Skyfeather Clan Psionic Research Institute, the Ten Directions Clan Bioengineering Center, and other top research institutions have all been granted unlimited bidding authorizations by their respective clans.

Their goal was clear: to obtain samples at all costs and crack the advanced technology contained within them.

During this period, the price of sacrificial offerings experienced an unprecedented surge.

The exchange rate of sacrificial power externally can only be roughly estimated, since the real world does not actually produce sacrificial power, nor does it have a channel for trading sacrificial power.

There isn't even a traditional financial institution like a bank that can store or transmit sacrificial energy.

The war for sacrificial power takes place in the monster world dimension.

World channel, regional channels, player forums... countless players are making their calls.

"Brothers, today's market price is 30% higher for sacrificial power. Those who want to sell, hurry up. Funds are limited, and I'll stop once I've bought enough. Just message me directly."

"I'm buying sacrificial offerings at high prices. Message me for a quote, and I'll transfer the money on the spot without hesitation. I can take as much as you have."

"What's the point of hoarding sacrificial power? Why not just release it to me and exchange it for real-world mansions, luxury cars, or even move to the Data City? Wouldn't that be better?"

"Every channel must be crazy, they're all shouting about collecting sacrificial power, but the problem is they're all collecting it, so why aren't they getting any?"

Countless voices are calling out the game ID of the Gold Coin Merchant Guild leader: Shoujili.

However, obtaining sacrificial power is extremely difficult. The monster world system is not regulated by the governments of various races, nor does it have the right to access other players' personal sacrificial power reserves.

To participate in the auction, one must contribute real money as a form of financial support.

In the monster world, there are only two government agencies that have made advance preparations and possess a large reserve of sacrificial power.

These are the Gold Coin Merchant Guild, represented by the Lunar Eclipse Clan, and the Lunar Eclipse Warband.

The Gold Coin Merchant Guild also includes auction houses, killer platforms, and trading platforms, among other channels for generating sacrificial power.

President Alan is the ruler of the Lunar Eclipse Clan and the official representative of the Lunar Eclipse Clan. He can provide the Lunar Eclipse Clan with ample sacrificial power support.

Secondly, there are the Arms Dealers Guild and the Apothecary Guild of the Human Federation. Both of these guilds have long been involved in the Monster World and possess considerable reserves of sacrificial power. The Arms Dealers Guild, in particular, has already established multiple external resource gathering points.

Through trial and error, they have developed a "mining robot" that continuously generates resource profits. Recently, they have also partnered with the Gold Coin Merchant Guild, making them one of the most profitable guilds among players.

While other races' guilds also have their own structures, they are far less powerful in terms of sacrificial energy reserves than the Human and Lunar Eclipse races.

All we can do is try to collect as much sacrificial power as possible before the auction ends and attempt to participate in this Evolution Shop auction.

This is why the price of sacrificial offerings skyrocketed in a short period of time, yet countless buyers still flocked to them.

Among them were goblin players who sensed a business opportunity and believed that the sacrificial power would continue to surge in the future, and even replace "Earth Coin" as the universal currency.

They also want to exchange real-world currency for sacrificial power, or use sacrificial power to buy other goods whose prices are expected to rise.

This is a very smart decision.

The increase in the value of the sacrificial offering is only linked to real currency.

However, hoarding goods with future growth potential can also yield additional appreciation in value.

Achieve a double increase in profits from both goods and sacrificial offerings.

However, this behavior is often criticized by other players on the forum, who believe that the actions of these speculative players have disrupted the price of rare resources.

Players with various ideas are collecting sacrificial power in the monster world, offering increasingly higher prices.

As for a currency collapse, that simply doesn't exist.

Sacrifice Power is now anchored to the priority experience of the evolutionary era.

Its value no longer depends on the credit system, but directly affects the vitality and self-evolution of each ethnic group member. This is an underlying logic that no traditional currency can match.

Credit money itself is meaningless; the essence of sacrificial power is the enhancement of lifespan, physical fitness, and other aspects.

In less than an hour, the price of Sacrifice Power on the Monster World forum had reached 1:2000.

But this figure is not the end; the increase continues.

One of the reasons why the members of each race are so crazy is that they have no idea when the Evolution Shop will reopen.

It's even more uncertain whether the number of products listed each time will be as scarce as this time.

This uncertainty triggered a near-panic buying frenzy among gamers.

I feel that if I miss this opportunity, I might face an even more outrageous price increase next time.

The specific reasons are not hard to understand.

As the number of Monster World players grows and veteran players rapidly increase in strength, the total output of Sacrifice Power will inevitably rise in the future, but the supply of goods in the Evolution Shop may always remain extremely scarce.

This extreme imbalance between supply and demand has made all players realize that what seems like an astronomical price today may just be a floor price in the future.

The lucky ones who won the first auction may have gained a real-world opportunity at the lowest price in history.

Among them, special items like the Purifying Lotus, which can be used sustainably, may even have immeasurable potential for appreciation in the future.

The various uncertainties surrounding the Evolution Shop have ignited both enthusiasm and anxiety among players of all races.

I feel that if I don't go all in now, I might not even be eligible to participate in the Evolution Shop auction in the future.

We should take advantage of the small number of qualified players and try to join this evolutionary wave sweeping across the entire civilization.

At this time, the official website of Monster World.

Evolution Shop page.

The prices of the four items floating in the auction scroll are skyrocketing.

……

What really made qualified players and off-site visitors nervous during this auction was...

The Lunar Eclipse Clan even participated in this auction.

Even off-site visitors know that "Sacrifice Power" is the game name of the Gold Coin Merchant Guild President.

Although the Lunar Eclipse Clan patched the game long ago, indicating that they would not receive any preferential treatment in anything related to the Monster World.

All players from the Lunar Eclipse Clan, and players from all races in the Earth Alliance, are on the same starting line.

Unexpectedly, even the rare items in the Evolution Shop were not available to the Lunar Eclipse Clan in advance.

While members of all races were puzzled, they felt that StarNet might really want to create a united Earth Alliance social structure through the monster world.

At least in the monster world, this has already been demonstrated quite well.

Players are in the same faction, the benefits of containment territories and souls are shared by all players, and there are numerous external hostile forces... all these settings are shaping a united and mutually supportive faction framework.

However, the layout of StarNet was still difficult for the various races of the Earth Alliance to understand.

Despite their lack of understanding, members of each ethnic group continued to bid fiercely, showing no intention of backing down.

The bidding frenzy erupted like wildfire in the final moments of the countdown.

The numbers on the Evolution Shop auction page began to jump wildly, with each refresh accompanied by a significant increase.

Representatives from various ethnic groups stared intently at the screen, exclamations of surprise rising and falling.

"Holy crap, it's gone up again. Where does this guy get so much sacrificial power?"

"The Tianyu Clan raised the price by 30%, that's outrageous."

"The barbarian tribe offered double the price."

The numbers spiraled out of control.

During this time, some people broke out in a cold sweat, some unconsciously clenched their teeth, and some even risked all their sacrificial power reserves with red eyes.

Every tick of the countdown felt like a hammer blow to my heart.

The moment the last second ticked down to zero, all the bidding data froze.

The words "Auction Ended" appeared on the auction page, extinguishing the previous fervor like a bucket of ice water.

This war without gunfire has come to an end.

Some groups are frustrated, feeling that the auction period was too short and there was simply not enough time to prepare the sacrificial offerings.

Some groups were also delighted to have successfully won the auction items.

Finally, a line of text popped up on the Evolution Shop interface:
[This auction has ended. The next auction will be held at a random time, with a random number of random types of items available.]

At the same time, crimson light gathered on the altar of the Lunar Eclipse City Transportation Center, and the items to be auctioned were quickly generated...

……

The Primordial Altar.

Qi Sheng followed the entire process of the Evolution Store's first trial run.

The results were entirely in line with expectations.

The effect of the Longevity Pill is to increase lifespan, and after taking it, it will also give the player 1329 points of Body Tempering Level in the Monster World.

In this auction, the lowest bid for the first 100 Longevity Pills reached 780,000 sacrificial power.

According to the monster world's setting, there are many ways to obtain body tempering experience, but the ratio of directly exchanging it with sacrificial power is 1:1.

In other words, the items that players can buy in the Monster World for 1329 points of sacrificial power have increased in price by 586 times in the real world.

But neither tourists nor players felt there was any problem.

In the eyes of players, no matter how fun Monster World is, it is still a virtual game.

Even if the prices in the game are high, they are still just data.

At worst, you can spend more time hunting, running dungeons, and exploring for opportunities... You can always accumulate enough sacrificial power to climb your goals.

But the real world is different. Lifespan, health, and extraordinary physique here were things that only existed in myths and historical stories before the Evolution Shop was launched.

If the Longevity Pill is priced at 1329 Sacrifice Points in the Monster World, what players would think:
"Who the hell would be crazy enough to spend 1329 points of sacrificial power to buy 1329 points of body tempering level? With the automatic cultivation mode enabled, it will slowly increase. The cost is much cheaper than directly exchanging sacrificial power. In the early stages, it's smart to grind and save up to buy a combat skill body tempering technique."

However, the same product would have a different value in the real world:
"Holy crap, this is a miracle drug that can actually extend lifespan, and it's a limited edition. We'd be missing out if we didn't get it."

This difference in perception makes the premium in the real world seem justified.

In games, sacrificial power can be obtained infinitely, while in reality, life is diminishing with each use.

Players are willing to pay for this genuine feedback, and even feel that a 135-fold price difference is cheap, and that a 100-fold increase would be reasonable.

Buying real resources with virtual data is justified, no matter how high the premium.

This is one of the core reasons why Qi Sheng launched the real-world store.

There will be many more places where sacrificial energy will be consumed in the future.

Player recruitment, battle formation system improvement, addition of growth-type pets, construction of the "momentum" system... everywhere is a place where flower offerings are used.

He doesn't take a high percentage of the tax from players, mainly to allow players to progress better.

Only when players improve their strength can they generate higher rewards from sacrificial power.

However, he occasionally finds himself lacking sufficient sacrificial power.

At this point, we need to obtain sacrificial power from the players; directly using it would be the most foolish approach.

In the early stages, a lottery system was tried, which involved secretly extracting sacrificial power from players for their own use.

However, the early methods could not compare with the real-world e-commerce model.

This is the real deal, making players willing to spend their resources at a premium of 100 times or even higher to buy it.

In the future, physical stores will also serve as a channel for him to regulate his sacrificial power when he lacks it.

If there's a shortage, a new batch of inexpensive goods made with sacrificial power will be released, and players will raise the prices of these goods to the level they desire.

The beta version releases a limited number of items, but the supply of items in the Evolution Shop will be increased later.

To allow more players to participate in the evolutionary wave of the real-world dimension.

This achieves a win-win-win situation.

Upon winning, the player gains enhanced realism, and their lifespan and safety are guaranteed.

He achieved a double win by opening up a controllable channel for sacrificial taxation (super tax).

A win-win-win situation: players receive attribute bonuses from using items in the Evolution Shop, thus preventing resources from being lost or wasted.

There's no need to worry about resources potentially falling into the hands of unqualified players.

All beings of the Earth Alliance will become players in the future, and the speed of recruiting players will become faster and faster.

This doesn't count as an outflow, it's just a temporary storage.

From the perspective of an individual life, waiting for eligibility can take months or even years, which is indeed a long time.

But on the scale of civilization's evolution, this amount of time is but a fleeting moment.

For the eternally operating monster world, it is merely a tiny timestamp in an eternal log.

Just like a farmer who sows seeds in spring doesn't care which seed sprouts first.

Before the universal ascension arrives, these resources, regardless of who owns them, will eventually return to the player system's cycle.

This temporary transfer allows more tourists to experience the dawn of the monster world ahead of time.
