in their vision of the future, they could rely on their powerful physical bodies to fly, burrow underground, and cross seas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, vehicles, being things destined to be eliminated in the future, were unnecessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although vehicles could be dismantled, dismantling incurred handling fees; saving those fees to invest in oneself would only make one stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While waiting, Liu Yi took out skewers stored in his Spatial Sack that he hadn't finished eating and continued to enjoy them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this speed, the journey would likely not be completed in a short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Traveling at roughly 40 knots in this small boat, covering a voyage of 223 nautical miles would require waiting another five hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time moved into evening, the setting sun's afterglow spilled over the sea, dyeing the waves in shades of gold and red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sea breeze gradually softened, and occasionally a few seabirds swept across the sky above the small boat, emitting crisp calls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The presence of seabirds proved the island was near.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, just as night was about to fall, the horizon in the livestream revealed the silhouette of an island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The livestream camera followed the small boat, zooming in as the island's full appearance gradually became clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many hidden reefs lay in the shallows before the island, making it difficult for Phase Killer's small boat to proceed further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he leaped from the bow, releasing Crimson Gang Qi to envelop his body, landing steadily on the water's surface, beneath which crimson energy ripples spread out alongside the water waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small boat automatically dismantled into pixel blocks, adhering to the surface of his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The livestream view followed Phase Killer's line of sight as he boarded the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tiger Stripe Island did not appear large, but its terrain was treacherous, surrounded by towering cliffs on all sides; the cliff faces were covered in gullies of varying depths, resembling patterns on a beast's hide, while dense vegetation covered the cliff tops, with vines hanging down from above, swaying in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black reef rocks littered the beach, covered in green moss and seaweed, bearing traces of years of wave erosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The camera followed Phase Killer's footsteps, advancing deeper into the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the beach lay a dense tropical jungle, where branches and leaves intertwined, filled with the incessant chirping of insects and birds, and occasionally the low growls of wild beasts could be heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a figure pierced through the dense forest, rapidly approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phase Killer reacted with extreme speed, turning his head toward the direction of the approaching figure as blood-colored ripples surged across his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Blood Reflection trait charged, ready to counter any attack at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Player race?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the figure suddenly stopped, reaching out to push aside the branches blocking its view and revealing its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arrival was indeed a male of the Tiger Stripe Clan; he stood nearly two meters tall with a burly build, his skin a bronze color polished by years of scorching sun and sea wind, covered in wrinkles and scars, his square cheeks looking slightly comical, his appearance extremely rugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am,\" Phase Killer nodded calmly after reading and parsing the information, dispersing the crimson Crimson Gang Qi around his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Follow me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without excessive words, Phase Killer decisively followed the Tiger Stripe Clan man's footsteps, heading deeper into the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sandy ground beneath their feet was gradually replaced by soft soil and vegetation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air in the tropical jungle was filled with a humid scent, mixed with the fragrance of earth and the fresh aroma of plants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunlight filtered through layers of overlapping branches and leaves, casting mottled light and shadow that wove a net of light and darkness upon the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally, several colorful birds flew through the canopy, emitting crisp calls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the ground, thick fallen leaves accumulated into a soft carpet, each step producing a \"rustling\" sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they went deeper, the jungle's terrain gradually rose, with the Tiger Stripe Clan man leading him through patches of dense forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Phase Killer heard the sound of flowing water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, the view before him suddenly opened up, revealing a hot spring pool surrounded by the jungle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pool water was so clear one could see the bottom; wisps of steam rose from the surface, thick green moss covered the surrounding rocks, and a few unknown wild flowers bloomed by the pool's edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweeping his analysis over it, he was surprised to discover this was actually a spiritual spring pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he seized and sold this, he could likely earn a considerable amount of Sacrificial Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he did not do so; since the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce had placed its trust in him, he would not betray it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hour later, under the guidance of the Tiger Stripe Clan man, Phase Killer arrived at a mine cave, the destination of this journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mine entrance was inconspicuous, concealed by dense vines and weeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping inside, the air was humid, carrying a faint smell of rust, while the surrounding rock walls were rough and uneven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they went deeper, the mine gradually widened, with chisel marks and scratches from mining tools remaining on the rock walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scattered broken stones and fractured tools lay on the ground, indicating frequent mining activities had once taken place here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally, one could see a few oil lamps still burning, hung in niches within the rock walls, their shades already covered in thick dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tiger Stripe Clan man spoke not a word, only occasionally looking back to confirm Phase Killer was following.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep within the mine, the light grew increasingly dim, with only the faint glow filtering in from the entrance barely illuminating the path ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But such an environment had no effect whatsoever on Phase Killer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had not embedded the Eagle Head Demon Life Soul, he had already learned how to enhance his own vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his blood and qi surged, his eyes glowed with red light, instantly making the dim environment bright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mine's terrain gradually sloped downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Continuing to descend, darkness hung like a heavy curtain, nearly swallowing all light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tiger Stripe Clan man lit a torch, its flickering flame casting dancing shadows upon the rock walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A scent of decay permeated the air, mixed with the fishy stench emanating from some kind of wild beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be careful, it might be near this area,\" the Tiger Stripe Clan man swallowed hard, appearing extremely nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phase Killer said nothing, his blood and qi surging within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strands of blood and qi overflowed from his pores, weaving an almost invisible grid of blood and qi space centered on himself, ready for battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his senses highly concentrated, Phase Killer suddenly caught a faint sound coming from the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sounded like some creature crawling between the rock walls, the rustling sound of scales grinding against stone making one's scalp tingle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fist slowly clenched as silver-white gauntlets automatically equipped themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the Tiger Stripe Clan man also suddenly stopped, crouching down to touch the ground with his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phase Killer looked down and discovered several deep claw marks on the ground, clearly left by some large creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fresh soil still remained along the edges of the claw marks, indicating the monster had passed through here not long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's nearby,\" the Tiger-Striped Clan man whispered, his gaze sweeping across the surrounding darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to search; I know where it is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Phase Killer spoke, his eyes fixed on the front left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep within the darkness, the silhouette of a massive creature revealed itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prepare for battle,\" the Tiger-Striped Clan man warned in a low voice, gripping the long spear in his left hand, his stare locking onto the darkness ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You step back; I'll handle this. You aren't needed here,\" Phase Killer said, erupting with Crimson Gang Qi from his Life Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surging crimson currents enveloped his body, illuminating the environment within the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Revealed before his eyes was a monster resembling a gecko; it clung to the rock wall, its body over three meters long, covered in thick dark-green scales, its four limbs thick and powerful, its claws like sharp, curved hooks deeply embedded in the stone, its tail bulky with a row of sharp bone spines at the tip that shook constantly like a rattlesnake's, yet made no sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most striking was its head: a flat skull covered in uneven keratinous protrusions, two ink-black eyes narrowed slightly, and a slightly parted mouth revealing two rows of serrated fangs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A row of sharp dorsal spines grew along the monster's back, extending from its neck to its tail, each spine like a dagger plunged into its backbone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Analysis swept over it, the monster's information appeared in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Tear (First-Generation Primordial)]:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunting Level: 71.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Primordial Introduction: A monster possessing the passive Primordial characteristic of Tear; its attacks inflict an additional Tear effect, causing the target to suffer continuous damage (additional Tear damage is influenced by the value of this hit [physical damage] and Life Soul level; Tear duration is influenced by Life Soul level).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Analysis information made Phase Killer pause, a smile then curling his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had intended to take a commission to earn Sacrificial Power and unlock the Star Vein, yet he never expected to find such an unexpected windfall here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the Analysis description, it was clear that Tear was highly suitable for melee players; more importantly, this was a passive bonus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once contained, it would inevitably become a popular Life Soul among melee-build players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You leave; I'm starting,\" Phase Killer said without ceremony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tiger-Striped Clan man glanced at the monster, shifted his gaze to Phase Killer, and decisively retreated, putting distance between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the killing intent radiating from Phase Killer, Tear, crouched on the rock wall, opened its mouth and roared, the shockwave causing gravel on the wall to cascade down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Tear's body was massive, its movements were exceptionally agile; its four limbs exerted sudden force as it nimbly climbed and leaped between the rock walls, charging forward with an oppressive aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the distance closed, Tear suddenly launched itself from the rock wall, becoming a bolt of ink-green lightning as it pounced straight toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phase Killer's body twisted sharply, dodging just past Tear's head as its blood-filled maw snapped shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, his right fist clenched tightly, crimson currents swirling into five rotating streams at his knuckles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twisting his hips to borrow force, his body tensed like a drawn bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant his right fist shot out, like an arrow leaving the string, he poured his entire body's strength into his right arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver-white gauntlet on Phase Killer's fist, wreathed in crimson Gang Qi, smashed heavily into Tear's flank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tear's body was knocked back by the tremendous force, slamming heavily into the rock wall with such impact that the entire mine cave trembled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Tear's scaled armor defense was extremely formidable; this strike caused no substantial injury. It quickly adjusted its posture, its tail whipping out violently, the bone spines at its tip sweeping toward Phase Killer like a long whip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phase Killer's eyes narrowed; his body suddenly leaped upward, evading Tear's tail strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant he landed, he actively closed the distance, his fists raining down blows, each carrying violent Gang Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Tear's defense was formidable, under Phase Killer's dense barrage of attacks, it began to look somewhat haggard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in terms of physical strength, Phase Killer was clearly one notch weaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under consecutive strikes, Tear began to go berserk; like an out-of-control tank, it slammed violently into Phase Killer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, his body became a lingering afterimage as he flew backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body embedded itself into the rock wall; he opened his mouth and coughed up blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The suppression of Hunting Levels brought comprehensive attribute suppression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This single hit drained nearly a quarter of his health bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasping for air, white currents rushed into his mouth, and the Thirsty Blood Brand hovered above his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tear let out another roar, suddenly opening its blood-filled maw wide as it bit toward Phase Killer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phase Killer neither dodged nor evaded; breaking free from the rock wall, he instead charged straight into Tear's pouncing bite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Tear's teeth were about to sink into him, the Blood Reflection characteristic suddenly activated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His health bar instantly dropped another quarter, while Tear's teeth shattered in response; its jaws, just clamped shut, opened again at an even faster speed, gaping wider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tear's lower jaw was struck by Phase Killer's charged uppercut, forcing its mouth violently shut; the tremendous impact caused its entire body to reel backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seizing the opportunity, Phase Killer leaped into the air, interlocking his fingers as if gripping a battle axe, and smashed them down onto Tear's head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get down!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tear's skull was smashed heavily into the ground, emitting a dull, thunderous crash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its body twitched slightly, clearly having suffered significant injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Phase Killer prepared to launch another offensive, Tear's ink-green eyes suddenly contracted; its body abruptly swelled, and the spines along its back stood erect one by one.

empowered by charged force and the Savage Axe, his fist suddenly shot out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crimson Gang Qi erupted like a volcanic explosion, carrying golden currents, blasting open Tear's already cracked skin and piercing straight into its heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The violent airflow tore through his body, instantly transforming into a vortex that churned his internal organs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The torn body was blasted flying by this punch, crashing heavily against the rock wall before slowly sliding to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark green eyes gradually dimmed, the body twitched slightly a few times, and finally came to a complete stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phase Killer slowly retracted his fist and slowly turned around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the motionless Tear suddenly opened its ink-black eyes, opened its bloody maw, and leaped up abruptly, pouncing at Phase Killer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the bloody maw was about to bite Phase Killer, his body shifted to the side in advance; the Gang Qi compressed in his palm, aided by a hip twist to borrow force, smashed viciously onto Tear's head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This strike sent Tear flying once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether Tear was dead or not, how could he, as a player, possibly not know?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For players, the death of a target has a standard two-part set for verification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Challenger Notification and the target turning into black mist;

Next, we will contact other sea region clans, and bounty missions will soon be released in the group in batches.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After explaining the situation, Liu Yi switched to the Gold Coin Chamber group and issued the latest notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It required members of the society, when liaising with alien races on Dream Island, to explain the Gold Coin Chamber's latest contract business, stating they could help solve all problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, Liu Yi sent the details regarding the establishment of the assassin organization and the first bounty mission to the Society Leader, \"Collect Sacrificial Power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, on the player forum, heated discussions were already underway regarding the newly contained Tear Fate Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the Guide Faction players; the moment the new Fate Soul was contained, they rushed to the Testing Space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During testing, players discovered this was a Physical System Fate Soul characteristic that stacks damage; the effect of a Level 1 Fate Soul is to add an extra 5% Tear damage effect on top of the original damage, with the duration affected by the Fate Soul's level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like the Withered Fate Soul used by Magic System damage dealers, allowing damage layers to be stacked through continuous strikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this Fate Soul was not suitable for players using the Damage Tank build.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was that the damage value caused by Tear was affected by the damage of that specific attack; the lower the damage, the lower the Tear effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Stone Statue build basically does not embed damage-oriented Fate Soul characteristics, focusing primarily on absorbing damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The damage increase effect brought by embedding Tear was optional at best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guide Faction players discovered during testing that two separate attacks caused 100 points and 50 points of damage respectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two attacks could stack two layers of the Tear effect, but the damage of the two Tear layers was different; the attack dealing 50 points of damage resulted in a lower continuous damage effect from Tear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Tear was more suitable for Melee Damage Build players, allowing for higher damage amplification effects on top of base damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effect of the Tear Fate Soul was completely opposite to that of Accumulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accumulation absorbs damage, unleashing an explosive burst of output once a certain load is reached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tear stacks damage, wearing down the opponent's vitality bit by bit through continuous damage until the target is killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its performance during testing made Tear a target for many Melee Damage Build players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The primary reason was that this was a passive Fate Soul characteristic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After embedding, it provided a stable extra damage increase effect without consuming Qi and Blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the forum discussions, the Star Vein combination with the most likes was: Savage Axe, Extreme Speed, Black Armored Snake, Gang Qi, Tear, Whirling Wind Whip, Blood Soul Tether, and Unyielding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The recommended weapon enchantment particle combination was: the resonance effect \"Breath of Wind Pressure\" constructed with Gale Particles as the core, with the effect of increasing attack speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The characteristic of this Star Vein combination was violent output; Savage Axe, Black Armored Snake, and Gang Qi were all means of dealing damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, Extreme Speed was used to burst and increase attack speed, Whirling Wind Whip was used to knock back, apply close-range control, or forcibly interrupt the target's damage rhythm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood Soul Tether was an effective means of closing the distance to the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unyielding was used to break free from control when restrained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a very standard melee Star Vein setup; adding Tear could raise output efficiency by another grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The successful containment of the Tear Fate Soul ushered in a small climax for Melee Build players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passive plus melee versatility made this Fate Soul one of the Fate Souls that Melee Build players believed would inevitably be embedded in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two hours later, Moon Eclipse City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four streams of white mist sprayed from the holes in the outer wall of the game pod, and the game pod lid slowly rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Lan sat up inside the game pod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moving to the central area of the room, he summoned the projection workbench, sat down, and began recording the gains of recent days as well as planning for future development directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The successful completion of the first mission on the Mercenary Platform meant this money-making channel was officially opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as A Lan was occupied, the projection lights on the ceiling automatically flashed in interlaced patterns, and then the figure of the Star Net coalesced beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Star Net.\" Realizing it was the Star Net arriving, A Lan immediately stood up, nodding respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Number 16, your recent performance has been excellent; I have been following the development of the Gold Coin Chamber, which is improving day by day and will inevitably bring considerable profits in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the praise, a smile also appeared on the Iron Face of Number 16, who was always indifferent:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Recently, the Gold Coin Chamber has opened up a brand new business; on the basis of multi-channel liaison between the Gold Coin Chamber and the various sea region clans, I have structured a mercenary platform.

However, I hope that on the basis of the trading market and the mercenary platform, you will build an intelligence gathering platform as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Intelligence gathering?\" Hearing this, A Lan was first stunned, then asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Star Net, do you mean buying intelligence provided by the various clans, then reselling it to other clans or to players to make a profit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the question, the Star Net shook its head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The intelligence gathering platform you described is meaningless; the value of intelligence lies in its timeliness and specificity. The various clans in the Monster World can mostly only provide intelligence limited to their own domains. Even if we collect a large amount of intelligence from various clans, it will be difficult to find suitable buyers; in the long run, we will only accumulate a large amount of useless intelligence, wasting a huge expenditure of Sacrificial Power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Furthermore, players themselves possess the Guidance System, capable of acquiring basic world information and nearby environmental information at any time; they are more inclined to rely on the Guidance System rather than purchasing intelligence from external sources.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing these words, doubt arose in A Lan's heart, and he immediately asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Star Net, what kind of intelligence organization do you want?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Build an intelligence gathering center for Primordial Monsters and Domain Nodes. As long as the alien races landing on the island can provide us with specific coordinate location information for Primordial Monsters and coordinate location areas for Domain Nodes, they can claim a reward from the Gold Coin Chamber, which can be exchanged for Mall currency.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing the Star Net's explanation, A Lan immediately understood the Star Net's concept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The structure of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce destined it to have extensive contact with numerous sea domain races; this scale would trigger a siphon effect as the trading market flourished, attracting even more races to engage in trade at the market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such a vast number of races, beyond mere trade, other channels for generating profit could also be developed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mercenary platform model was one such channel, and the intelligence platform mentioned by Star Net was another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players might have no interest in ordinary intelligence, but their interest in Primordial Monsters and Domain Nodes, especially Rule Nodes, was extremely high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, finding even a single Primordial Monster was not easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If an intelligence platform for collecting information on Primordial Monsters could be established, the sea domain aliens arriving on the island would all become scouts for the players exploring the outside world for Primordials, significantly accelerating the progress of Primordial containment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key point was that this kind of intelligence would inevitably fetch a handsome price among the player base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, A Lan nodded and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Star Net, I understand. We will resell this portion of intelligence to top-tier guilds and small teams, thereby earning profits from the intelligence itself, correct?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing these words, Star Net shook its head and countered with a question:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do you intend to use the profits earned by the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For the development of the Moon Eclipse Clan, and for the creation of your physical body after entering the game; this will be a huge expenditure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Star Net shook its head again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your series of arrangements in the Monster World are gradually forming a trend toward monopoly. Trading platforms, mercenary platforms—although building these platforms expands the pie and brings extra income to all players, you are also earning revenue from other players through these platforms. As this grows larger and larger, you will reap massive sacrificial power income in the late stages even without doing anything. In my view, this is very dangerous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must understand one thing: all players serve the will of the High-Dimensional Gods, and we are no exception.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Therefore, you must consider what value you yourself can bring to the High-Dimensional Gods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Star Net's voice turned solemn as it continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your idea of establishing the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce is good, but you must understand that the High-Dimensional Gods created the player system and guided us to the Monster World not so we could comfortably earn sacrificial power there and enjoy the dividends of monopoly. His purpose is to drive the development of the player legions through our actions, observing how we grow, evolve, break through our limits, and ultimately challenge the Black Black Tide within this challenging environment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The development of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce is certainly important, but it is merely a means, not an end. If you become obsessed with building platforms to earn sacrificial power while ignoring the true intentions of the High-Dimensional Gods, we may eventually be eliminated, or even erased.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, A Lan frowned tightly, a vague sense of unease stirring in his heart:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Star Net, are you saying we need to provide more value to the High-Dimensional Gods? But we are already promoting economic development in the Monster World, connecting various races, and even creating more opportunities for players. Is this not enough?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Star Net shook its head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is not enough. The High-Dimensional Gods need more than just economic prosperity; they value the overall growth of the player legions even more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only by striving in this direction will all your actions align with the expectations of the High-Dimensional Gods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Therefore, I require you to establish an intelligence collection platform to obtain coordinate intelligence on Primordial Monsters, Domain Nodes, and Rule Nodes from the various races, and then release this intelligence freely on the forum. Who proceeds to contain them is not within our scope of consideration.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Lan's eyes gradually brightened; he understood Star Net's deeper meaning:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Star Net, you mean we use the funds from the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce to purchase coordinate intelligence on Primordial Monsters and Domain Nodes from the various races, then release this intelligence freely to all players? This way, players can locate and contain these resources faster, accelerating their growth. Although we spend sacrificial power, we indirectly drive the increase in strength of the entire player legion, aligning with the expectations of the High-Dimensional Gods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Star Net nodded, its tone carrying approval:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly. What the High-Dimensional Gods need is not a Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce that monopolizes the market, but a catalyst capable of driving the overall growth of the player legions. Through the intelligence platform, we make resource intelligence public, allowing more players the opportunity to access high-value resources. This action enables the player legions to grow faster and allows the High-Dimensional Gods to see our value.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Lan added thoughtfully:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, this method of releasing intelligence freely can also enhance the reputation of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce. Players will realize we are not merely an organization seeking to earn sacrificial power, but a platform truly serving the player legions. In this way, our influence among the players will increase significantly, and we might even attract more players to join our trade organization and mercenary platform.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Star Net smiled and nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Precisely. The core advantage of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce lies in our trade relations with the various races, and the intelligence platform can transform this advantage into tangible contributions for the player legions, establishing a virtuous cycle of development: the various races provide intelligence, we pay sacrificial power, the players acquire the intelligence, and the ultimate goal is the recognition of the High-Dimensional Gods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Lan nodded, excitement flashing in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had now completely understood Star Net's conception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The essence of the intelligence platform was a bridge of communication between them and the High-Dimensional Gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through this platform, they could prove to the High-Dimensional Gods that they were not merely seeking profit for themselves, but also contributing strength to the growth of the entire player legion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Star Net continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, the construction of the intelligence platform must be handled with caution. We need to ensure the authenticity and timeliness of the intelligence to prevent players from wasting time due to false information, and to avoid wasting sacrificial power on erroneous intelligence. In this regard, we still need to establish closer cooperative relationships with the various races to ensure the intelligence they provide holds value. We may even need to establish a system for this: verify the intelligence before payment, or pay a portion of the amount first, then pay the full sum after verification is complete...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening to Star Net's explanation, A Lan nodded seriously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will personally take charge of building the intelligence platform, establishing a dedicated intelligence review team to verify and filter the intelligence provided by the various races, ensuring every piece of released intelligence is accurate and error-free.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very good.
