Chapter 2923: The Low-Threshold Virtual Balance Function

There is actually an extra number?

Ximeng held the Identity Card made of Iron Wood in his hand and examined it carefully; right at the top right corner of the front, Aiboke tapped his finger, and a slightly glowing rectangular frame appeared.

There was nothing in the frame at first, but as long as one looked directly at it, one could see a slightly smaller number 【20】 appearing within the rectangular frame.

"How is this supposed to be used?"

Ximeng was a bit confused, but since Aiboke let them explore it themselves, it must be usable immediately; they just needed to find the trick to using it.

Thinking of this, Ximeng noticed that the two Captains he had brought along had already activated their Virtual Balance Identification, so he called out to one of them, "Dali, come here for a moment."

"Yes, Commander."

Dali came to Ximeng's side in three steps, and then they compared the Identity Cards in their hands, "Huh, Commander, I can't see the balance number on your Identity Card."

"Is that so?"

Ximeng also stared at the balance frame on Dali's Identity Card, looking at it seriously for a few seconds, but the result was just as Dali had said; he could not see the balance number on someone else's Identity Card, only a frame emitting a faint glow.

A moment later, Aiboke had already enabled the Virtual Balance Identification Permission Level for all the soldiers' Identity Cards and transferred 20 Gold Coins to them; those Gold Coins were all transferred from his own Identity Card at the time.

Confirming that others could not operate their own Identity Cards, Ximeng and Dali swapped their respective Identity Cards back and then explored on their own.

Aiboke did not need to stare at the soldiers' experimental process at all times; he only needed to pay attention to the results and any abnormalities that appeared during the process.

……

It was not that he had that much money, but rather an instinctive desire to hide his own privacy.

Ximeng did not understand the underlying Principles of this kind of Virtual Balance Identification, but out of trust in the Lord, he felt that the current way of hiding the balance from others was easier to accept.

"It really is like that. Give me your Identity Card and let me try?"

"Next, your task is to conduct transfer experiments with the companions around you, do anything you can think of related to the Virtual Balance Identification, and report any discoveries at any time."

"Have you all seen the balance number? If you have, move the finger you are pressing on the edge of the frame to cover the balance number you see."

After speaking, Aiboke gave Ximeng a few more instructions and then went to the other side of the Laboratory to busy himself with his own affairs; the study of Order Force was certainly not limited to just currency identification.

……

"So that's how it's done! How magical!"

This was another issue regarding safety.

"And the other person receiving the money must place the two Identity Cards together and cover the text 【Receive Money】 with their finger. When a new frame appears and a number appears inside, it means the person paying has confirmed it. Then, the person receiving the money also confirms the receipt in their heart, and this transfer is complete!"

Moving the finger is actually not necessary; it is merely to provide Guidance for the person's will to concentrate. For a Spellcaster, these extra operations are not needed; similar to Spellcasting, one can proceed with further operations by focusing attention on the balance number.

"How is it? Have you figured out how to use it?" Aiboke said to everyone in the experimental area.

……

Dali handed his Identity Card to Ximeng and simultaneously took the Identity Card Ximeng handed over. The two of them held each other's Identity Cards like that and stared carefully for over ten seconds, but they still could not see the number inside the balance frame.

As for the currency identification research, the physical currency identification was already nearing completion and required large-scale Application before new problems could be discovered and subsequently improved, while the experiments on Virtual Balance Identification were currently underway.

"It doesn't matter if you haven't figured it out; I will teach you!"

At this step, Aiboke was already very expectant of the results of this experiment.

According to the plan, what needed to be done next was to establish a relatively complete library of Spells based on Order Force level by level. Xia Shao had already created the basic parts, and Aiboke was now mostly continuing to research and develop based on that foundation.

After Aiboke finished speaking, some soldiers immediately completed their first transfer with their companions. Aiboke was not surprised by such a result; in fact, if the threshold were so low and someone still couldn't learn it, that would be the surprise!

Furthermore, when enabling the Permission Level for others, he also confirmed that everyone else had increased their balance by 20, rather than some other inexplicable number.

"After seeing the text 【Receive Money】 and 【Pay Money】, if you want to give money to someone else, move your finger to 【Pay Money】 and cover the text. A new frame will appear, then think of a number in your heart, which is the amount of Gold Coins you want to give to the other person, but remember, the number must be less than your current balance! Then confirm the number in your heart!"

It was more like a form of anonymous transfer, except that this anonymous transfer function was installed on the Identity Card, and the Order Force would record the details of the transaction. Once the relevant duties were perfected, these records could be transcribed.

As he spoke, Aiboke took out his own Identity Card, held it up in front of everyone, and continued, "Watch closely. Press your finger on the edge of that frame, and then stare at the balance number inside the frame."

The answer he got was a group of soldiers frowning and shaking their heads. This result did not surprise Aiboke, but he was not worried that these people would be unable to use the Virtual Balance Identification. The threshold for using this thing was very low; he believed that even someone who had never come into contact with Magic could use it normally after a little training. Now, it was just a matter of breaking through that layer of threshold.

With his current Permission Level, it was not yet enough to increase the balance number out of thin air; one side increasing must necessarily correspond to an equal decrease on the other side. It was just that in previous experiments, this change of 'you increase, I decrease' quickly tended toward chaos.

Although Aiboke did not mind exposing his wealth, he still found it somewhat unacceptable to have it directly exposed through the specific number on the Identity Card to anyone who might see his Identity Card.

And today, until he had enabled the Permission Level for everyone, there had been no situation of numerical chaos, and his own balance had decreased by a total of 420. (20 of which were given to Ximeng)

Additionally, if the balance number on one's own Identity Card could be easily seen by others, did that mean others could also easily use it?

Next, before Aiboke could teach any further, some soldiers couldn't help but exclaim, "Huh! I see 【Receive Money】 and 【Pay Money】!"

"It must be designed this way. The Identity Card is used in many scenarios within the Territory. If anyone could see the money others possess so casually, that would be too inconvenient!"

"I see it too!"

The only thing that could not be omitted was the contact between the Identity Cards of the two parties in the transfer; there was no such function yet where one could transfer money just by knowing a name or an Identity Card number.

"Mm, here!"

The Laboratory suddenly became lively. Aiboke waited for a few seconds, then gave a light cough to draw everyone's attention back, and then continued the lesson—
