The Monster is Coming

Chapter 365 Luring the enemy into a trap, pay your taxes! (Seeking monthly votes)

The territory of the Divine Artifact Clan, outside the Valley of Artifacts.

The setting sun dyed Mirror Moon Lake into a pool of golden amber. Yang Xiu sat on a green stone by the lake, his fingertips unconsciously tracing the surface of the water, the ripples breaking the glow of the sunset on the lake.

Youying hovered beside him, its blue-purple sword light softened by the twilight, patiently listening to Yang Xiu's story.

At this point, Yang Xiu had already immersed himself in the character story he had created.

His voice was hoarse as he spoke, his gaze fixed on the swaying moon's reflection in the lake, as if he were seeing his "tragic" past through the mirror of the lake.

"So you come from a race called the Moonshadow Clan?"

Upon hearing this, a touch of nostalgia appeared in Yang Xiu's eyes, as if he had been reminded of past happiness:
“We live in a treehouse in the Misty Forest. Every morning we can hear the elders playing the leaf flute. The children chase after the fluorescent butterflies in the forest. The hunters in our tribe are never greedy. Every time they return from a hunt, they give the fattest pieces of meat to the old and weak…”

At this point, he suddenly clenched his fist, his knuckles turning white, and his voice began to tremble:
“Until three months ago, the evil forces descended.”

"A pitch-black tower rose from the ground in our territory, the sky was shrouded in a blood-red crescent moon, and countless evil creatures fell like raindrops as the black mist surged."

"The things that were being nurtured in the black fog rushed into the forest like madmen. The cracking sound of the treehouse being knocked down, the cries of children everywhere, the elders detonating themselves to protect us and cover our retreat... I still can't forget it."

He lowered his head, his shoulders shaking violently.
"The chieftain divided us young people into twelve groups and led the children away first, saying we would meet in the eastern Dizhong Mountain range. We ran and ran, and ran into a miasma forest. When we looked back... there were fewer and fewer people around me, and in the end I was the only one left. I failed to protect them."

The lake breeze carried Yang Xiu's sobs, causing the blue-purple aura on the Youying Sword to ripple slightly.

Yang Xiu raised his head, his eyes red-rimmed, but without tears, only a dry despair:

“I told the children that we would rebuild our homes and that I would roast the best meat for them, but now… they are all gone.”

After he finished speaking, his voice suddenly choked with emotion.

As if an invisible hand had gripped his throat, he frantically wiped his face with the back of his hand, but not a single tear came out.

But the despair of being parched brought Yu Ying more pleasure than the tears that flowed freely.

Perhaps, he had already cried all his tears.

Yang Xiu also slowly curled up, his back pressed against the cold blue stone, as if this could ward off those bone-deep memories:

“I don’t even dare to go to the Imperial Tomb Mountains… I’m afraid of seeing the empty valleys, and even more afraid of how I will explain it to them when I see them.”

The lake breeze lifted Yang Xiu's tattered robes and the black cloth underneath, revealing the deliberately rubbed abrasions on his arms, which gleamed a menacing red in the setting sun.

He just stood there with his head down, his shoulders trembling, as if even his breathing was broken and trembling, as if he was about to be completely torn apart by his memories at any moment.

Seeing this, Youying was extremely satisfied with the new host's reaction.

They've even come up with a pretty good plan.

At this moment, the creatures before them, though filled with despair, were like stagnant water, lacking the ripples that could be stirred up repeatedly.

If you want him to become a source of negative emotions, you must first throw a pebble of "hope" into this stagnant pool.

Why not do as he suggested and go for a trip to the so-called Emperor's Tomb Mountain Range?

If no one from his tribe comes to see him, it will prove that his tribe has been wiped out, which will inevitably intensify his disappointment and despair.

But it hoped even more that Yang Xiu would reunite with his clansmen at the agreed-upon location.

While Yang Xiu was immersed in the joy of regaining what he had lost, it quietly made its move.

He used the "Bewitching Curse" of the Evil Sword lineage to corrupt the minds of the clansmen who had reunited with Yang Xiu, causing them to resent and criticize him.

Tell Yang Xiu that if he hadn't panicked and led the wrong way, the children wouldn't have fallen into the miasma forest.

He rebuked Yang Xiu as a coward.

In this way, it can see Yang Xiu fall from the joy of reunion and be wounded all over by the resentment of his former clansmen.

The warmth of reunion will gradually be gnawed away by guilt and turned into cold remorse during this stage.

But that's not enough.

The goal is to have those bewitched clansmen relentlessly press him, using the most vicious words to puncture his deepest wounds, until he has nowhere left to retreat. Then, subtly ignite the repressed despair within him, transforming it into uncontrollable ferocity.

Then, take this opportunity to manipulate him and use him to personally kill his own people who have criticized him.

During this period, he will lend Yang Xiu enough power to slaughter the entire clan.

Before he kills the last person and delivers the final blow, he will break the "Bewitching Curse".

Let him witness the tragic death of his last remaining clansman, the moment his blood splattered on his face, and let him see with his own eyes the terrified and desperate look in the eyes of that last clansman.

Ideally, you should cry out and beg him for mercy.

It was impossible for it to stop this sword strike; it was destined to fall fiercely in despair.

Presumably, Yang Xiu would then completely collapse.

Youying imagined Yang Xiu kneeling in a pool of blood, weeping bitterly, and her excited sword trembled slightly.

But the story we've woven doesn't end here.

He wanted to gently tell Yang Xiu that there was still a chance to start over, just when Yang Xiu thought it was too late to salvage the situation.

He possessed a secret technique that allowed him to resurrect those he had just killed.

Once he ignites his last glimmer of hope and exerts all his strength to act according to this method, this stage will allow him to continuously cultivate the Evil Sword Manual, continuing to breed negative emotions amidst extreme pain.

Only tell him the truth after squeezing out every last bit of value.

When hope is shattered once more, the final pain is enough to plunge him into endless darkness.

This constant tug-of-war caused Yang Xiu to be tossed back and forth between hope and despair, ultimately leading him to destroy everything he cherished with his own hands.

Only the negative emotions that are endured during that time are truly rich and sweet.

At this stage, the new host's will will inevitably break down, and it will completely lose its value in continuing the game.

The blade of Youying trembled slightly, emitting a barely audible hum, feeling quite satisfied with the perfect plan she had conjured up in her mind.

A bluish-purple sword light gently landed on Yang Xiu's head, carrying a deliberately released warmth:

“Don’t blame yourself.”

"In the face of annihilation, the power of an individual is insignificant; it is already remarkable that you survived."

"Instead of getting stuck in painful memories, it's better to confront the fears in your heart."

Youying's voice was so gentle it seemed capable of concealing even the sharpest despair:
"Even if the ending is as you fear, at least it can bring solace to those who have passed away and give you an end... If you believe me, come with me to the agreed place. Perhaps... fate will give you an explanation, or perhaps there will be a chance to meet again."

"Really... is it possible?" Yang Xiu suddenly looked up, a faint but burning light flashing in his eyes, like a dying spark being ignited by the wind, but that light quickly dimmed again.

"But how am I, a useless person, supposed to face my children if I can't even protect them?"

He lowered his head, his voice almost overflowing with self-loathing, etching the image of "a glimmer of hope hidden in despair" into Youying's perception.

Youying sneered inwardly, but her expression grew increasingly compassionate:
“All those who have gone astray can be redeemed, and besides, your situation at that time was beyond your power to change. If you can really see your people, they will forgive you.”

Yang Xiu remained silent. The evening breeze ruffled his disheveled hair, and his gaze grew increasingly unfocused, as if he were lost in thought.

Then color gradually appeared in his eyes, and his gaze gradually became focused.

At this moment, Yang Xiu's live broadcast room had already exploded with excitement.

"It gave me goosebumps. The change in his eyes was absolutely amazing. From the rapid dimming to the resurgence of life, every step was just right. It's Oscar-worthy attention to detail."

"Dude, you're wasting your talent playing the pet build. I hope that in the future a Soul that can gain rule energy through acting will be released. That would be your true destiny."

"I recorded it. The tone of the self-loathing part was so well done. That feeling of wanting to grasp hope but feeling unworthy made me want to applaud. This scene must be recorded in the history of glory. I suggest you go directly to StarNet to apply for the Best Performance Award in the gaming industry."

"From body language to micro-expressions, it's all acting. Your acting skills are so good that even the leader of the Evil Sword lineage would take the bait on the spot, let alone Youying. It's too good. No wonder the brothers recommended you to pave the way. You are really awesome."

At this moment, Yang Xiu suppressed the joy in his heart.

The big, fat fish is now biting the bait very deeply.

All the groundwork laid in the beginning was to tell Youying one thing: he still had his clansmen.

Before coming, I researched a lot of information about the Divine Artifact Race.

It was discovered that the Artifact Clan enjoys doing one thing: giving the host hope, and then making the host destroy that hope with their own hands.

So as long as the clansmen are still alive, they are a good hook.

From the "twelve groups of refugees" to the "meeting at the agreed location," every detail, seemingly revealed unintentionally, actually precisely reflects the hunting preferences of the Evil Sword Clan.

He even predicted that Youying would take the initiative to suggest traveling together.

Sending Youying directly to meet the clansmen would be the most inappropriate thing to do, and might even arouse Youying's suspicion.

For a hunter, the best hunting method is: casting bait.

Then let the nymph take the bait on its own.

The plan has now succeeded.

Like Ba Jian back then, You Ying clearly wanted to follow a storyline that repeatedly tugs at the crossroads of despair and hope.

It would then be logical for Youying to follow him to the Emperor's Tomb Mountain Range.

This was Youying's own idea; he didn't ask for anything in return.

Thinking of this, he slowly raised his head.

"You...you really want to come with me?"

Yang Xiu's voice still carried hesitation, and the glimmer in his eyes brightened slightly, yet it was still shrouded in a thick layer of timidity:

"But the Imperial Tomb Mountains are very far from here..."

These words, seemingly expressing concern for the future, were actually offering Youying a smoother path forward.

Although there is a teleportation array nearby.

But it's best not to reveal this, as saying you can go there via a teleportation array would be too fake.

Since the Divine Artifact Race already possesses the ability to tear through space, it would be better to let them take us there willingly.

The more hesitant he appears, the more he reveals his fear of the unknown, the more excited Youying becomes.

He wanted to give Youying the illusion that he controlled everything.

Sure enough, Youying's affirmative answer echoed in his mind:

With me here, what is there to fear on the road ahead?

It deliberately emphasized its tone, carrying an undeniable certainty:
Even if it's a mountain of knives and a sea of ​​fire, I can still carve a path for you.

After he finished speaking, the blue-purple sword light suddenly surged, drawing a dazzling arc of light in the night that was gradually enveloping the earth, causing the air to buzz.

Yang Xiu looked up at the blue-purple halo, slowly lowered his head, and said, "Thank you."

Strands of hair fell down, obscuring her eyebrows and eyes.

The prey has already jumped into the trap, and now it's time to close the net, but he will leave that time to Shadow.

Just as he had expected, Youying took the initiative to ask:

Do you remember the spatial coordinates of the agreed location, or how you got there?

Yang Xiu's eyes narrowed, as if he was trying hard to recall.

After a moment, he raised his head and gave the exact coordinates of the Emperor's Tomb Mountain teleportation point.

As soon as Yang Xiu finished speaking, the viewers in the live stream started rubbing their hands together in anticipation.

Near the teleportation point in the Emperor's Tomb Mountains, pet-based players continuously summoned various types of monsters. Meanwhile, teammates of these pet-based players were also holding potions, ready to buff themselves and face fierce battles at any time.

During this time, some players also posted their screen recordings of the live stream on the forum, attracting more players who were not from the pet-focused playstyle to join in the fun.

With everything in place, a tight security network has been laid out around the newly constructed teleportation point in the Emperor's Tomb Mountains.

To prevent Youying from breaking through the void and leaving again after her arrival, Yang Xiu's friends and family even purchased three special crystals that could stabilize the space.

The goal was to completely cut off Youying's escape route.

Time passed as they waited, and in the live stream, Yang Xiu followed You Ying as they tore through a spatial rift.

Seeing Youying's ability to jump through space, the players in the live stream were immediately filled with envy.

In fact, top players now have the combat power to tear through space and jump.

The problem is that this requires a lot of time and effort to learn.

The entry requirements are frighteningly high.

First, you must thoroughly understand the basic theories of space.

Just as a carpenter must first understand the grain of wood, before tearing apart space, one must first accurately perceive the spatial density, node distribution, and even the impact of airflow on spatial stability of the current region.

This step requires years of research and exploration, and one must thoroughly understand all kinds of spatial parameters.

It also needs to be repeatedly verified in practice. If there is even the slightest deviation, what will be torn apart may not be the passage, but a spatial turbulence that can devour everything.

Secondly, there is the control over the release of spatial power.

Top players may have enough power to tear through space, but the difficulty lies in striking the right balance.

It's like cutting paper with a knife; too light and it won't cut, too heavy and it will tear into pieces.

Spatial jumps require precise control of the force used to create the tear; otherwise, if the tear is too large and there is no spatial barrier to protect it, it will be easily sucked into the void.

This will require several more years of training.

There is much more to understand.

The vast majority of players simply cannot settle down and spend years studying and researching.

However, it is possible to accelerate the learning process through "brain overclocking".

The problem is that if all evolution points are allocated to brain overclocking, one's own strength is not enough to tear through space. Secondly, learning with the assistance of brain overclocking also requires a lot of time and energy.

Meanwhile, the Divine Artifact Race, and other races, traversed long distances in the monster world.

Spatial knowledge is a basic necessity.

They learn relevant spatial theories shortly after birth, and only enter into practical tests when they are strong enough to master them.

It can be said that spatial technology has been continuously improved throughout the growth process.

The oldest players have only been in the game for a little over two years, and in terms of pure spatial technology, they are simply not on the same level as other factions.

From the players' perspective, there is a super shortcut to solving this problem.

When the Strange Butterfly is contained someday in the future, all the problems will be solved.

Even without the Strange Butterfly, there might be other Primordial beings who possess spatial abilities, allowing players to directly control spatial jump capabilities.

While we waited, ripples suddenly appeared in the sky, spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Then, a twisting, swaying black line spread rapidly through the air.

A bluish-purple sword light pierced through space first, and Youying's figure, carrying Yang Xiu, emerged from the distorted spatial rift.

But after seeing the scene before him, the sapphire on the blade of the Ghostly Sword suddenly burst forth with a ghostly light.

It suddenly realized something was wrong. Why were so many creatures gathered at its feet? They looked up at the sky, as if they had been prepared and were waiting for its arrival.

"What's going on?" Youying's voice suddenly turned cold, and the blue-purple sword light abruptly turned towards Yang Xiu.

But then Yang Xiu, who had just been looking dejected, suddenly straightened his back, the despair in his eyes vanished, replaced by a broad smile:

"Didn't you already guess? What else could it be? Of course, it's inviting you into the trap to be slaughtered."

After speaking, Yang Xiu ripped off his tattered outer robe, letting it flutter away in the wind.

With a wave of his hand, eight pets appeared beside him.

At the same time, the leader of Yang Xiu's group of relatives and friends below tossed up the light blue gem in his hand.

A flaming arrow arrived in an instant, shattering the pale blue gem. Immediately, it emitted a burst of light, and the space around the area became stable.

Even the spatial rifts above were rapidly healed in the next second.

"Fellow villager, let's do it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Xiu was instantly teleported to a different location.

After a teammate using the Stone Statue build gets close to Ghostly, they immediately activate the "Taunt" trait.

Instantly, a strong sense of hatred welled up in Youying's heart.

Under the halo of mockery, Youying's memory bank was forcibly pried open by the rules.

Countless fragments of memory, catalyzed by the power of mockery, automatically wove together a web of hatred directed at the stone statue player before them.

What it saw was no longer a strange player wearing heavy armor, but the elder of the Heavenly Sword lineage who had once trampled it and laughed wildly, and the parasitic journey that had once caused it to fail... The sword trembled violently and emitted a sharp buzzing sound. All the killing intent was like being attracted by a magnet, firmly locked onto the Stone Statue player.

"court death!"

Youying's voice completely lost its previous gentleness and became shrill.

It even forgot to investigate Yang Xiu's sudden disappearance, forgot to consider whether it was a trap; only one thought remained in its mind:
Tear this enemy in front of me to shreds.

With a flash of sword light, it transformed into a streak of blue-purple lightning, hurtling straight at the stone statue player. Its speed was so fast that even its afterimage was not visible.

The taunting nature unleashed a torrent of hatred within it, completely overwhelming its reason.

At this moment, Youying was like a weapon driven by hatred; in her eyes, in her heart, and in her mind, there was only that target that had to be destroyed.

Upon seeing this, the Stone Statue player grinned and suddenly lowered his waist, causing a blood wall to form in front of him.

His body instantly turned pitch black.

Despite the significant difference in combat power, even with damage immunity, this sword strike still chopped off most of the Stone Statue player's health bar, instantly sending him flying.

The effect of the taunt trait was also dispelled by the will of the Ghostly Shadow at this moment.

"not good!"

Realizing something was wrong, Youying immediately tried to run away.

But the players who were already prepared wouldn't give him the chance; multiple blood-soul-binding chains wrapped around the sword.

The player below, who had taken the damage, stomped on the ground, activated their petrification form, and pinned their feet to the earth.

Then, golden barriers connected in the sky, instantly blocking Youying's retreat and forming an indestructible barrier.

"Seal off the space, don't let it escape!"

Someone shouted sharply, then threw out another blue gem, which shattered and made the space even more stable.

Youying tried to tear through space, but found that space could not be easily torn apart.

Faced with the crisis, Youying's consciousness roared, and the blue-purple sword light surged, with stardust-like sword energy shooting wildly in all directions.

But the players were prepared, and a barrage of attacks came one after another.

During this time, various types of pets unleashed a barrage of ranged attacks, including spewing elemental energy, venom, and beams of light.

Let the ghostly light be completely submerged.

The sword light released by Youying trembled violently amidst the dense attacks, and the blue-purple halo dimmed at a visible speed.

The starlight on the sword was dispersed, revealing the trembling body beneath.

Youying's sword suddenly spun horizontally, attempting to use stardust sword energy to cleave the blood soul chains that were binding it.

However, the chains were also covered by petrification properties, increasing their strength by more than one level, requiring Ghostlight to struggle many times before it could barely break them.

The next second, new chains will come and wrap around him.

The petrified form of the injured player is like an iron stake rooted in the earth, with the other end of the chain connected to their body. No matter how much the ghostly figure charges, their feet do not move an inch.

"Watch me show it what's what!" came a roar in the team chat.

Instantly, the red, blue, and black spiritual energies converged in mid-air, combining the composite properties of ink flames, thunder, and corrosive power, striking the most vulnerable point on the spine of the Youying sword.

Instantly, the elements exploded.

With a crisp sound, the blue-purple aura of the sword suddenly dimmed, and a crack almost invisible to the naked eye appeared on the blade.

It emitted a painful hum, and the stardust sword energy instantly dissipated. The originally wildly scattered sword energy points seemed to have their power drained away, gradually dimming and turning into nothingness.

Various melee pets took turns to fight at this moment.

Youying tried to gather her last bit of strength to launch a counterattack, only to find that her power was being continuously drained away.

The "Siphon" ability used by magic-based players accelerated the energy consumption of the Ghostfire.

The combined decay characteristics create decay patterns on the surface of the sword.

"It's about to collapse!" a player shouted, warning him.

The attacks from nearby players became increasingly intense, with ranged arrows and spells weaving together to form an impenetrable barrage of fire, while melee players used the barrier as cover to continuously slash at the sword with weapons laced with spirit-breaking potions.

With each collision, tiny cracks could be seen appearing on the body of Youying.

The sapphire finally dimmed completely at this moment. Without the support of its core energy, the Ghostly Glow seemed to have its soul ripped out. The blue-purple halo faded at a visible speed, revealing an ancient longsword covered with scratches and cracks.

This is its original form before its sword energy manifests.

The player did not stop; the sword trembled violently under the impact of various attacks, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Buzz~!

With a final, mournful cry, Youying abruptly ceased all sword energy, tremors, and resistance, plummeting straight down from the sky.

But the players' offensive did not stop.

In their eyes, as long as the information analysis does not show a near-death state, it is all considered as feigning death with malicious intent.

Although you can see the health bar, only the near-death state can prove whether Youying has lost the ability to resist.

The percentage of health points should only be used as a reference.

After all, different life structures exist, and some creatures will show as dying when their health bar approaches 20%.

Some creatures only show as dying when their health bar reaches 10%.

When the near-death message appeared, all players stopped attacking.

The injured player released the Blood Soul Chains, and the light shield barrier set up by the support player slowly dissipated, with moonlight shining on the ground covered with traces of battle.

Players cheered and gathered around, their faces showing excitement as they watched the once invincible evil sword become a trophy.

The live stream chat was filled with "666" and "Finally got it done," celebrating the end of this meticulously planned ambush.

The next step is to imprint the control mark.

The core purpose of teamwork is this: you help me, and I help you.

As long as a player can lure a member of the Artifact Clan here, other players will band together to help capture them.

In this way, we can build the future of pet-based games together.

During this time, Yang Xiu was the most excited.

As the test representative, he will undoubtedly be the first to taste the "delicious crab".

The process of imprinting the control mark took less than 10 minutes. After consuming a large amount of mental energy, Yang Xiu obtained his ninth pet: the artifact, Ghostly Shadow.

In subsequent forum discussions, players raised many questions about this operation.

For example, what if my acting skills aren't as good as Yang Xiu's? Would I be able to capture the members of the Divine Artifact Clan?

Or perhaps capturing too many members of the Artifact Clan would arouse suspicion from the higher-ups of the Artifact Clan.

Players have asked for guidance on this issue.

The guide's answer was that the members of the Divine Artifact Clan who travel abroad suffer considerable losses every year.

Youying did not inform its people when it came to the Emperor's Tomb Mountains, so this is just a common case of a clansman dying while exploring.

As long as they aren't caught red-handed, this trapping method can continue to be used.

As for acting skills, that's something players will have to figure out for themselves.

But acting skills have never been the focus of the artifact race's attention to players; it is the emotional aura emanating from their bodies that matters.

With the guidance confirmed, the pet-focused players on the forum decided to launch another attack.

Next, they planned to contact the God King and ask him to help them form a small team within the Allied Warband. During this time, players who were branded with the Pain Mark were to immediately go to the Artifact Clan's territory and try again in the same way that Yang Xiu had tried.

Going forward, this node will also serve as a group gathering point for luring and capturing powerful monsters.

Other players can also go to places outside the territory of the artifact race to bewitch powerful creatures. As long as they can teleport here, nearby players will help capture them.

Meanwhile, the pet-based players waiting nearby weren't idle either.

You can hunt evil spirits born from the crescent moon nearby to gain sacrificial power and grow stronger.

This successful capture enabled the establishment of a mutual assistance platform for pet-based players in the Imperial Tomb Mountain region.

To further refine the trapping plan, the leading players even considered a membership system.

Avoid having players join who are just looking to take advantage of the situation and want help from other players, but are unwilling to put in the effort.

……

The Primordial Altar.

Qi Sheng followed the entire process of capturing Youying.

The forum categorizes players with different playstyles into "good" and "evil," but in his eyes, this division is meaningless.

It's impossible to generalize whether a pet-based build or a summon-based build has more growth potential.

The summoner build excels in its stable growth, as it grows alongside the player.

The advantage of pet-based strategies lies in their flexible system construction, allowing them to strengthen themselves through external advantages and compensate for their own weaknesses.

Both are powerful systems built around the core of the Soul, and both contribute to the development and construction of the player's faction.

There is not much difference in essence.

He only cares about one thing: whether the players in these two systems can generate more tax revenue for him, or expand the pie of his faction.

The benefits of summoner builds are still under development.

He will take 30% of the scare points from all the arrangements in the small world.

As the business expands in the future, revenue from this area will continue to grow, and the revenue streams will not be limited to the small world.

Perhaps in the future, summoner-style players will be able to develop more modes that generate fright points.

However, compared to the relatively mature pet-based strategy, the current output and benefits of the summoning strategy are negligible.

There are quite a few players using pets now, and there are pet transactions every day.

But there is a problem here.

Players cannot buy or sell external pets through the trading house; they can only contact sellers on the forum and then conduct offline transactions.

This skips the tax collection step.

It also increased the complexity of transactions and reduced the time players needed to develop their characters.

Qi Sheng has always believed that improving players' trading efficiency is also indirectly increasing the output of sacrificial power.

He decided to create a new category for the trading house: the pet market.

Players can list and control their pets, freely buy and sell them in the trading house, and pay a 5% tax after a transaction.

However, transactions here require the inclusion of a pet space.

This allows pets to continue moving around in the space after they are placed on the shelf, rather than freezing their lives.

This allows the pet room to move around and maintain normal vital signs.

After a buyer purchases a pet, the separate pet space will be automatically bound and transferred, meaning the seller is selling the pet along with the "cage".

Therefore, the cost of creating a pet space must be factored into every transaction.

This setting offers two advantages.

First, it saves on the transaction process. There is no need to agree on a time or place. Players who want to sell can put their pets up for sale directly, and players who want to buy can buy directly across different spaces without any negotiation. After the transaction is completed, the pet can be used the next second.

As for the different player auras on the branded spirit patterns, the Challenger System can assist in modification.

Ensure that the pet remains under control after being traded.

The second benefit is that improving the pet trade can bring more tax revenue.

The pet trading market has always been quite popular.

Veteran players never have to worry about finding buyers for their pets, because new players are constantly joining the game.

With the influx of 5000 million new players, the prices of pets that were about to become obsolete in the hands of veteran players have surged.

New players will automatically take over the pets from veteran players.

Once this batch of newbies grows into veteran players, another group of players will take over the pets they discard.

The concept of "one pet for N generations" will continue indefinitely.

With repeated transfers, the total revenue from transaction fees can even exceed the market value of the pet itself.

For example, if a pet's market price is 1 sacrificial power, and there is a 5% transaction fee for each transaction, the pet's price itself will not change with the number of transactions, and may even increase.

After 20 trades, the commission income can be equal to the market price of the pet itself.

Therefore, he didn't care at all about the issues that forum players were hotly debating, such as orthodox versus unorthodox cultivation, or which system had more potential for development.

Whether it's a pet-based strategy or a summon-based strategy, the key is to consistently pay taxes.
