Chapter 544: Silver Coin wants to buy the Home of the Departed

The Home of the Departed is a soul network built on a powerful spirit similar to a relay spirit. It is ownerless, so it can connect to anyone's soul.

It is operated by the Undead Guild and uses a function similar to an account book for information exchange. People can post information, acquisitions, bounties, announcements, etc., on it. Its function is similar to the task bulletin board before the Mercenary Guild.

This soul network has been running smoothly for thousands of years. Most people have known of its existence since they were very young and have become accustomed to it.

Merchants, mercenaries, politicians, and officials from all sides have become accustomed to using it as an external window and platform. Some small places don't even have standing security forces and will post bounties and wanted notices for various criminals on it, which greatly shocks personnel from all sides.

Such a soul network that penetrates the entire social system has a very serious problem—it has no highest authority.

The Undead Guild responsible for management also does not have its highest authority, which has led to a large amount of usage fees and management fees being deposited, with a total value reaching more than 1.6 billion magic crystals.

If it could be bought, wouldn't it be possible to extract those 1.6 billion magic crystals?

"Uh, Lord Negris, you're overthinking it. Although the Undead Guild doesn't have the authority to extract magic crystals, the magic crystals were originally supposed to be handed over to them, and they have already used them up. What is displayed in the Home of the Departed is just a string of numbers," Anthony said.

"What? That's too bad. This money should be ours," Negris said angrily.

The Undead Guild doesn't have the highest authority seal and cannot extract this money, but they do. So this money should rightfully belong to them.

Anthony spread his hands. Although the Undead Guild doesn't have the authority, they have already extracted the physical magic crystals. The string in the Home of the Departed is just a number.

"Since they don't have the authority, how can they sell the Home of the Departed?" Negris asked, puzzled.

"Just sell the operating authority," Anthony replied.

"Why would they sell it for no reason?" Negris asked, puzzled.

Anthony smiled: "How could it be for no reason? Someone must be causing trouble inside, causing the Undead Guild to lose too much money during this period, plus Silver Coin is constantly blocking them on the commercial level. In just half a year, the Undead Guild was almost on the verge of bankruptcy."

"Who is causing trouble inside?" Negris was stunned for a moment. The Home of the Departed is a soul network built on the basis of relay spirits. Who has the ability to cause trouble inside?

However, as soon as it finished asking, it saw the unfathomable smile on Anthony's face and immediately understood: "You are the ones causing trouble? Because you have the highest authority seal, they can't even detect you causing trouble."

Anthony smiled.

Possessing the highest authority seal is equivalent to having the ability to see everyone's hole cards. Silver Coin can use the authority to view all the bounties, tasks, bidding, and other commercial activities on it. This is equivalent to playing cards with others with the cards face up.

Silver Coin doesn't even need to cause any trouble. Just starting from the commercial aspect, he can quickly collapse the economic system built by the Home of the Departed, earn the money belonging to the Undead Guild into his own hands, and do it without anyone knowing.

The Undead Guild continues to lose money but doesn't know where it's losing it, or why it's losing it. They just feel that business has been hard to do recently.

"Even if they lose money, they wouldn't sell the Home of the Departed, right? Doesn't an organization that has existed for thousands of years have any savings? Losing money for a few decades wouldn't make them sell their livelihood, would it?" Negris said, puzzled.

Anthony nodded: "Yes, so Silver Coin thought of a way to force them to sell."

"I see it now. You didn't come to tell us this news at all; you came to ask Ang for help. Kubada, you're beating around the bush, almost making me go in circles," Negris said suddenly. ===== CHAPTER 545 =====
