Chapter 67: Currency Top-up

Li You had not studied properly for a long time; he had never even been this diligent when studying English.

He even felt he needed to sign up for a study class, and only with great difficulty did he manage to find a summary of Mysticism.

When he sat down, he saw Chen Ai with her large ID displayed.

"Can you understand this book?" Li You asked with a worried expression after flipping it open. "If you can, I'll help you find books, and you can translate them and post them, how about that?"

"I'll ask my brother." Chen Ai slumped directly onto the table, then logged off to ask Chen Zhi.

Logically speaking, there was nothing to ask about such a matter.

But what Chen Ai wanted to ask was different; as an insider, how could she not find some benefits for herself?

One had to know that although Yezi made money, she herself did not.

If she could receive some tips in the game, wouldn't she have more motivation to do this?

Chen Zhi, upon receiving Chen Ai's message, felt for the first time that his younger sister had some business acumen.

If players tipped each other, couldn't he also take a cut?

In this way, when these players were no longer satisfied with the closed beta data wipe in the future, wouldn't he have enough funds?

He could even open a consignment shop; anyway, consigning things with him—wait, he could let Andrew handle it. This matter could be planned over the long term; not bad, not bad.

Soon, a new official post appeared on the forum.

【Regarding the Tana Coin Top-up Function on the Forum】 — Calamity Apostle

With the increase in forum discussions and the continuous emergence of excellent posts, to promote player interaction and improve the level of mutual aid, the officials have now decided to add a Tana Coin top-up function to the forum.

Players can store the Tana Coins they hold in the game with NPC Susan. After storage, the Tana Coins will exist within the forum interface; currently, the limit is no more than 1000 Tana Coins.

Tana Coins on the forum can be used for tipping on posts or for posting forum tasks. Tana Coins received as tips can be withdrawn by finding NPC Susan in the game, with a 3% withdrawal fee.

After the closed beta data wipe ends, the Tana Coins stored on the forum will be sealed and can be used when the next test opens.

We welcome new Believers to post and communicate more to promote a positive cycle in the game. The officials will also provide Tana Coin rewards for featured posts.

……

The post was not long, but for the players, it was something worth being happy about.

One had to know that this money could be used during the next test.

Although it was said that one could only store a maximum of 1000 Tana and there was a withdrawal fee.

But in Tana City, 1000 Tana could be considered a huge sum.

After all, 2 Tana could buy black bread mixed with sand, enough to fill one's stomach.

If one could store some in there, then during the next test, this batch of testers would be inherently stronger than others.

Chen Zhi was not stingy either; he immediately tipped 100 Tana to the posts previously made by Feng Buxi, Zhuguli, and Luolita, which counted as official recognition.

With official encouragement, that very evening, players who hadn't logged off yet ran to Susan to line up.

Susan simply started working right in front of Chen Zhi.

It was unclear what was wrong with these new Believers; when they came in, one couldn't see a shred of piety toward the Lord of Calamity.

They wouldn't even greet her or bow, running straight toward her.

Susan had done ticket-selling work before, so registration was not difficult for her; it was just that counting the money was a bit troublesome.

She didn't know where these people got their money, as every single one of them could casually produce a huge sum of 1000 Tana.

In reality, even those who couldn't produce it would borrow some from friends to store a sum.

These new Believers' ability to earn money was too strong; Susan recorded it one by one until the coins beside her piled up into a small hill.

Seeing the account displayed on the forum, Chen Ai hurriedly posted the content of the Introduction to Occultism she had translated.

Based on her own understanding, she also added some illustrations.

For example, regarding the various churches, the origins of Mysticism, and so on.

She didn't post it all at once, but intended to post it bit by bit, as this could earn more tips.

However, two hours passed, and not a single player tipped.

Except for the 100 Tana tipped by Chen Zhi, the players cherished the small amount of money they possessed very much.

After three or four hours, only a few people had tipped Chen Ai 1 Tana.

Feng Buxi, browsing the posts, pinched his chin while looking at the post Chen Ai had made.

This post couldn't be called useless, but compared to the current situation, it was indeed not very useful.

Players had no interest in understanding the history of the gods' development, and even less interest in those ancient mystical practices, unless Ai Ai could clearly write about the relationship between the God of Calamity and other gods.

But books like the Introduction to Occultism certainly wouldn't describe the various conflicts between Evil Gods and righteous gods, and they all used ambiguous language to resolve them.

For example, the conflict between the Beauty God and the Sun God.

It looked like a woman stealing the spotlight, but as for what it was actually because of, or what the fuse was, there wasn't a single bit of specific explanation.

It could only be said that the Sun God was suppressed by the Beauty God's suitors and became a god symbolizing bachelorhood.

But what did this have to do with the players?

Those people from the Sun God Cult didn't take this seriously at all.

After all, there were no Believers of the Beauty God in Tana City at all...

So, although this book had been partially translated, not many players were interested.

Instead, those few formulas became the darlings in the players' minds; everyone wanted to know where to get the materials for those formulas.

Feng Buxi flipped through it for a long time and finally found some useful things.

Luolita, who was hunting, said she had discovered a Three-eyed Frog; these frogs were not easy to catch, they were all by the stream, and their movements were strange. She had spent a day catching them by the stream, but not only did she fail to catch one, she also lost two cloth bags.

However, she had marked the spot; if any players were interested, they could come here to catch them.

This made some solo players, as well as Feng Buxi and others, very interested.

There were indeed many materials on the mountain; Tana City almost had no winter, and prey and medicinal herbs could be produced all year round.

Although it is said that those awakening materials for Gold Tie are not easy to get.

But the thieves do not seem hard to get, only the gold is truly a headache.

However, if a few players pool their resources together, they should be able to scrape together enough for one awakening, right?

Holding this thought, Feng Buxi decided to organize a group of people to go up the mountain and take a look.

In any case, the bar is almost finished with renovations, so leaving a group of people here is fine.

It can also make the people from the Wealth Church feel that they are doing some work.

……

Inside the manor, Saina felt that her steward was a bit off.

He seems to have rarely gone out during this period, and it always feels like he is hiding from something.

Seeing that he had buttoned his buttons wrong again, Saina frowned and said, "Although you are a bachelor, you also represent my image. Nobles from the capital will be visiting soon, and you being like this is truly too rude."
