Chapter 2925: Balance Function Clarification and Preventive Measures

"My Lord, I have transferred 10 Gold Coins to you. Have you received them?" the Spell Breaker Captain asked, a bit nervously after finishing the operation.

"Received."

Xia Duo did not even need to look at the balance number on the Identity Card to give a definitive answer; as the Lord of Order, he could directly obtain the relevant information through the Order Force, and the other party had indeed transferred 10 Gold Coins to him.

"Let me transfer to you again to test it."

As he spoke, Xia Duo extended his Identity Card once more. The Captain hurriedly pressed his own Identity Card against it, then Xia Duo transferred 10 Gold Coins to the other party following the normal procedure, and then asked:

"Did you receive it?"

"Received, my Lord."

"That is good."

Xia Duo swept his gaze across the faces of the people who were looking on with anticipation. He did not continue the transfer experiments with these people, but instead brought up other issues:

"How long have you been here?"

"If that kind of virtual Balance Function is popularized, does that mean physical Gold Coins will no longer be needed in the future?"

"Furthermore, every time the balance number on your Identity Card changes, a record will be left on my end. Even if there is a one-in-ten-thousand chance that your balance number appears abnormal, it can be restored at any time by going to the relevant department at the Government Hall."

Once wealth accumulates to a certain level, Spellcasters will inevitably come to extort it. If there is no sufficient backing to deal with this at that time, then this wealth is equivalent to helping others accumulate it.

What Xia Duo did not say was that although conventional spells cannot directly modify the balance, they can control the holder of the Identity Card to conduct transactions, but that is unrelated to the Balance Function itself.

"After all, it is a virtual balance number, not real Gold Coins one by one. But as the contact time increases, I am also slowly realizing the greatest convenience of this transfer method, which is saving space."

……

……

"My Lord, after your explanation just now, I feel that this virtual Balance Function is already very perfect. However, I still have some confusion; if possible, I hope to get an answer from you, my Lord."

By then, perhaps the first thing the Territory security officers do every time they run to a community or a village will be to conduct anti-fraud publicity.

It is difficult to quantify the cost of Order Force spells, but in practice, one can artificially define a suitable cost to achieve the Sustainable Development of the Order Force.

"It should have been almost half an hour," the Captain replied.

"Besides this, what I want to tell you is that the source of this balance comes from me. Just now, when Mage Aiboke transferred money to you, it was actually deducting from his own balance. As for my side, every time the balance increases by one point, corresponding Gold Coins will be reserved in the Government Hall, so even if everyone redeems them all, there is no need to worry about being unable to redeem them."

"We are currently only transferring amounts of at most a few hundred Gold Coins. If we used physical Gold Coins, we would have to carry a large money bag with us. If the amount were larger, it would be even more inconvenient, and it would inevitably require the use of Gold Coin Exchange Vouchers."

"Speak!"

But that is only in theory. A thing is not necessarily feasible just because it is feasible in theory; one must also consider realistic factors, such as whether the local lord agrees, and so on.

The Captain hesitated for a moment, but out of trust in the Territory and the Lord, he still voiced his true thoughts: "This kind of balance number that appears out of thin air is most afraid of not being able to be exchanged for real Gold Coins."

Of course, post-incident investigation is ultimately post-incident. In fact, the Order Force can also prevent problems before they happen. As long as a mental state confirmation is conducted on both parties to the transaction before the balance transfer, it can be determined that both parties are acting with true intent not influenced by spells.

"Besides this, there is the balance number itself. Will this number formed by Magic be affected by Magic in the end? If one's own balance number can be easily changed by a Mage, I am afraid not many people would be willing to use it."

As long as the investigation is in place, Xia Duo believes that there will not be many direct robbery cases in the future. Instead, fraud might be relatively frequent before the relevant laws are perfected.

"As for the negative aspects—"

"Of course, that is only available after the Balance Function is officially opened. It is currently still in the testing period, and it is more about testing the function itself."

Redeeming Gold Coins will also be operated in the same way, which can put an end to the vast majority of direct robbery cases.

"Well said!"

"But Gold Coin Exchange Vouchers can only be traded in whole numbers, and they also have the inconvenience of having to carry the vouchers with you. All in all, the current balance is more convenient."

"No matter how convenient it is in actual use, as long as there is one problem with redemption, many people may never use it again."

"Does anyone else have anything to say or want to know?"

"Then if we go to other places, do we have to exchange enough Gold Coins in our Territory before we can go out?"

"Since the Lord has asked, I will speak my own views first!" The Captain looked at his companions around him and spoke first. "At the beginning, I was very worried about this transfer method,"

Doing so is nothing more than opening a Permission Level for a Mind Protection spell for everyone. Considering the actual consumption of the Mind Protection spell, it can be made mandatory once a certain transaction amount is reached, and the traders can even be made to bear the cost.

Of course, Xia Duo hoped to hear about the bad or insufficient aspects so that he could improve them later. He had heard enough of the good aspects, and he did not lack the praise of these few people.

Compared to the physical currency state of the past, this virtual balance is actually even better at preventing Spellcasters from taking things by force!

This is actually the function of a bank. Combined with the Void Warehouse, building such exchange points is not a problem at all, and even a more advanced bank would be no problem.

"If nothing unexpected happens, that should be the case. However, I will also consider building exchange points in other places to facilitate the Xia Ling people who are outside to exchange Gold Coins at any time."

All transaction records of the virtual balance are kept by the Order Force. Even if a Mage forces a transfer, they will inevitably be unable to escape investigation afterward. As for making people exchange into Gold Coins first and then robbing them, there are too many intermediate steps, which will also leave traceable clues.

Xia Duo expressed his praise without hesitation, and then gave answers one by one to the questions raised by the Captain. "Regarding the exchange of balance for Gold Coins, after this function is officially opened, the Territory Logistics Department will open a special window in the Government Hall lobby, specifically to handle Gold Coin exchange affairs."

"So, what do you think of this transfer method? Tell me about both the good and the bad aspects. This function is currently in a testing state, and your opinions are very important."

"As for your worry that the balance number will be changed by a Mage, I can tell you clearly that the display of the balance number is different from conventional spells and will not be subject to any interference from conventional spells."

"Not at all. Not to mention how long it will take to popularize this function, we cannot control other places. In order to facilitate trade with those places, it is highly probable that physical Gold Coins will still be used."

In the past, it was not uncommon for Mages to confuse or threaten ordinary people to hand over wealth, or even directly kill ordinary people to seize wealth. This is also the main reason why ordinary people always have a limit when doing business and must find a Mage Tower organization to affiliate with.
