"So, this is the efficiency of your empire?"
Li Pin looked at Zhang Dongwang who was constantly inputting star power on the altar.
He had promised Su Dongfeng that he would help them resolve the threat from Death Valley after finishing things here in a month or two.
What's he got to deal with here
It's not the counterattack from the Empire.
As a result, the Empire, who had captured a great star refiner alive, held a meeting for more than half a month without any rush, and still has not come up with any rules, allowing the great star refiner Zhang Dongwang to be imprisoned by them.
After hearing what Li Pin said, Zhang Dongwang looked a little embarrassed.
But he still insisted: "Our empire has spared no effort in supporting the Special Joint Team. Although the strongest person in the country has not taken any action, there are three legends in the country who have joined the Special Joint Team. From this point, we can see how much we support the Special Joint Team. In the case of a shortage of manpower, the efficiency of the work will naturally not be improved."
These words obviously meant that Li Pin only knew how to engage in infighting among humans and did not devote his energy to clearing out monsters.
"So the legends of the Empire are so great. I thought that the Empire's strongest man, Green, and other legends were too busy guarding the Slave Valley and the Empire's capital to spare any time."
Li Yin said calmly, "Also, since the Empire is so selfless, I just happened to find a dangerous place with many lord-level monsters and a legendary zombie. How about asking Mr. Zhang Dongwang to help me contain them?"
"Contain the legendary zombie!?"
Zhang Dongwang's face changed: "You want to kill someone with a borrowed knife?!"
"What do you mean by borrowing a knife to kill someone? It's just words without any evidence. I need you to prove it to me."
Li Pin said.
Zhang Dongwang was suddenly speechless.
At this time, Xingying came to Li Yin's side and whispered, "The extraction equipment from Taibai has been prepared and installed. Do you want to participate in the launching ceremony?"
"No."
Li Yin said, and added: "First, extract all the thunder magnetic crystals we have stored."
As he spoke, his tone paused slightly: "In addition, the distribution of training materials must be put on the agenda."
"Palace Master Shi has submitted a proposal. I will send it to you right away."
"Give me a rough outline of it."
"yes."
Xingying nodded: "Palace Master Shi means that we should slightly improve our internal contribution value system and link it with the internal currency system we are planning to promote."
"A new currency with star crystals as the equivalent?"
Li Pin said.
Shi Shihu mentioned this matter to him.
In fact, it’s not just them. The Human Alliance has also made similar proposals.
In today's world, the six major countries in the world all have their own currencies, and the exchange rates vary.
In addition, some small countries also have their own currencies.
In view of this situation, Anna, the Secretary General of the Human Alliance, has suggested more than once that a global unified currency be established using star crystals as the equivalent.
At present, there is indeed a trend of using star crystals as currency in some more advanced trading fairs.
After all, Gaia is different from Blue Planet. Ferocious beasts and monsters are rampant. Unless there is a great star master to escort, trade and transportation between countries are not safe at all.
And how many great star refiners can each country have
There are probably only about a hundred or eighty empires as powerful as one of the six great empires in the world.
Without smooth waterways, strong countries will not have too urgent demands for some basic resources from weak countries, and they do not need the currencies of small countries as foreign exchange at all. In this case, only accepting star crystals is the best option.
"Star crystals, like star tools, are divided into inferior, genuine, superior, top-grade, rare, and legendary. Among them, the prices of inferior, genuine, and superior are basically decimal. A superior star crystal or high-level star crystal costs about 200 million Tianyuan coins or 100 million Imperial coins. Because top-grade star crystals are equivalent to strategic materials like top-level star tools, the premium is obvious, which can reach 4 billion Tianyuan coins!"
Xingying said, adding: "I said an approximate value. If it is really converted into Tianyuan coins, there will still be some errors."
Li Yin nodded.
"At present, thanks to the skill stones bestowed by you, the Lord, the Martial Gods have no shortage of insights. What they lack is enough training materials. Among these training materials, the comprehensive performance of the Lightning Element Stone is stronger than that of the Lightning Magnetic Element Crystal. We have priced it at 16 million, which is eight inferior star crystals. As for wages... according to your instructions, we have divided the wages of different positions into 20 levels. The deputy Lord is at level 15, with a monthly salary of 30 Lightning Element Stones, which is... 480 million. The wages of elders and guardians are between level 14 and 12, with monthly salaries of 15, 10, and 5 Lightning Element Stones respectively."
Xingying said, and asked, "Do you want to make detailed adjustments?"
"Need not."
Li Yin said, "Let's leave it like this for now."
He let these people work for ten years, theoretically without paying them.
but…
If they don't pay him, they have to rely on him to get the Thunder Stones, and as time goes by, the group of Martial Gods grows bigger and he doesn't have enough time and energy to take charge.
Just directly establish a wage system.
The better the performance, the higher the salary.
Of course, in addition to the basic salary, there are also some incentive programs to ensure everyone's subjective initiative.
"In addition, Secretary General Anna of the Human Alliance has already led a delegation. They did not take a flying vehicle, but used ground transportation. They will officially start their visit to our Xingwu Temple in four days."
Xingying said.
"Four days later, so soon?"
Li Yin was a little surprised.
The Secretary General came more actively than he expected.
He originally thought that if he captured Zhang Dongwang, a great star refiner of the empire, the empire would definitely become like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and would get furious. In all likelihood, they would send legendary star refiners to kill him. And he would just have a chance to fight with the legendary star refiner to test the weight of this person who was one of the strongest people in the world.
At the same time, it can be regarded as a true restoration of its reputation to the world!
Proves that the martial arts lineage can also stand on par with legends.
result…
More than half a month had passed, and there had been no movement from the Empire. There wasn't even an ounce of the arrogance and arrogance of one of the world's six most powerful countries, which made him a little disappointed.
The plan to solve the problem of people's coveting of skill stones once and for all also fell through.
"Only legends... can be considered the true top of the world."
Li Yin said.
But without a legend coming to prove his ability in actual combat, who would believe him even if he shouted everywhere that he had legendary combat power
You can't just go and kill them on your own initiative
This idea came to his mind and immediately made him feel something.
feasible.
He had all the reasons.
Lin Xingchen is considered half his disciple.
Li Bin asked the empire to release the people more than once, but the empire never took any action, as if it did not take him seriously at all.
So…
It's time to take action and let the world understand the deterrent power that a martial god who cannot be sensed by the star refiners can bring.
"Palace Master, do you want to use the Human Alliance to announce the news of the skill stones and sell them soon?"
Xingying said.
"Um."
Li Yin nodded and said, "You guys calculate what materials are needed for the development of the Hualongshan Xingwu Temple and what resources are needed for cultivation. Make a charter. After all the expenses are sorted out, we will exchange the remaining income for Thunder Magnetic Crystals, related resources and Star Crystals."
"I'll give the order right away."
Xingying immediately agreed, and then asked: "I don't know... What is the total budget?"
“The price of rare star tools is often hundreds of billions, and buying legendary star tools requires the efforts of the whole country. Even if the price of skill stones is not as high as that of legendary star tools, it is probably not far behind. The bottom price in my mind is one trillion, but considering that many people are still unsure of the specific functions of skill stones… So, I will cut it in half, the bottom price is five hundred billion, and there is no upper limit.”
Li Yin paused and said, "We will sell ten skill stones. If they are sold successfully, the revenue will exceed 5 trillion. This is the total budget."
"Five trillion!"
Even though Xingying knew that the skill stone was incredibly valuable, she never imagined it could be so high!
Ten! Five trillion!
She thought...
One or two trillion is enough...
But then, she thought of something else.
The Corpse King Palace can breed a batch of Corpse Kings in half a year, averaging thirty.
That’s sixty heads a year.
That’s a full thirty trillion!
what does that mean!
The fiscal revenue of the entire Da Shang was only 19 trillion, less than two-thirds of the skill stones sold by the Xingwu Temple.
If the skill stones could really be sold at this price, the whole world would have to work for the Star Martial Temple.
For a moment, Xingying was excited, but also a little scared.
She didn't know what she was afraid of.
but…
But he couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice: "Palace Master... Is the price... too high?"
"I know what's going on."
Li Bin said calmly. He glanced at Xingying and said, "We can't keep the news about the skill stones secret, but we can keep the news that they can be mass-produced secret. We will announce to the public that there are only a limited number of corpse kings in the Black Gold Mine, and most of them have been hunted down. This sale of the skill stones may be the first or the last time."
As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something: "Didn't someone from the Empire sneak into the black gold mining area? It must have taken a long time to find a corpse king. I think he can testify for us."
Xingying felt a chill in her heart after hearing this.
Only a few of them knew that the Corpse King Hall could cultivate Corpse Kings.
When everyone thought that this resource was disposable, it was sold for more than 5 trillion...
It’s not difficult indeed.
only…
"Now that this batch of skill stones has been sold, if we continue to have more Martial Gods born, will it make these people suspicious?"
Xingying said.
"after?"
Li Yin said calmly: "With this 5 trillion resources injected, even if we announce the true output of skill stones in a year at most, no one will dare to stand up and question us."
After hearing this, Xingying immediately thought of the time it took Li Bin to develop into the God of War and grow to where he is today!
Give him another year...
“When that happens, they will be thankful.”
Xingying said with admiration, "Thank you for sharing with us such a precious treasure as the Skill Stone at such a low price."
