Monsters Are Coming
Chapter 1261 - 331: Frenzied Bidding and Tax Regulation 4
Second to mention are the Arms Merchant Guild and the Alchemist Guild of the Human Clan Federation, both of which have long established themselves in the Monster World, holding a considerable Sacrificial Power Reserve.
Especially the Arms Merchant Guild, which has now opened multiple external resource collection sites.
The "mining robots" crafted through exploration continuously generate resource profits, and recently they have started collaborating with the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, becoming one of the most profitable guilds in the player faction.
Although guilds founded by other races have laid out plans, they are far from having the substantial Sacrificial Power Reserve possessed by the Human Clan and the Moon Eclipse Clan.
All they can do is try to collect as much sacrificial power as possible before the auction ends, in an attempt to participate in this Evolution Store auction event.
This is also why the price of sacrificial power has skyrocketed in a short period, yet countless buyers still flock to it eagerly.
Among them, there are also Goblin Party players who smell a business opportunity, believing that sacrificial power will continue to soar in the future, possibly even replacing "earth coin" as a common currency.
They also want to convert real money into sacrificial power, or use sacrificial power to purchase other goods expecting a price hike.
This is a very clever decision.
The rise in the value of hoarded sacrificial power is only tied to real money.
However, hoarding goods with future potential can also yield additional appreciation increments.
Thus achieving dual growth benefits from both goods and sacrificial power.
But this behavior is often criticized on forums by other players, who believe that this part of speculative players disrupts the prices of rare resources.
Players with various ideas are gathering sacrificial power in the Monster World, each bidding higher than the last.
As for currency collapse, it doesn't exist at all.
Sacrificial power now anchors on the priority experience rights of the evolution era.
Its value no longer relies on the credit system, but directly impacts the Life Strength and self-evolution of members of each clan, an underlying logic that no traditional currency can match.
Credit currency itself is meaningless, whereas the essence of sacrificial power is Life, Physical Fitness, and other enhancements.
In less than an hour, the price of sacrificial power on the Monster World forum already reached 1:2000 points.
But this figure is not the end, the rise continues.
One reason for the frenzy among the members of various races is that they cannot predict when the Evolution Store will open next.
Nor can they be sure whether the number of items listed each time will be as scarce as this time.
This uncertainty has sparked a near-panic buying among the player community.
They feel that if they miss out this time, they may face an even more outrageous price increase next time.
The specific reason is not hard to understand.
As the number of Monster World players grows and veteran players' strength rapidly increases, the total output of sacrificial power in the future is bound to rise, but the supply of goods in the Evolution Store may always remain extremely scarce.
This extreme imbalance between supply and demand has made all players realize that today's seemingly astronomical auction might just be the floor price in the future.
The lucky ones who win the first batch of goods may have obtained the opportunity for real enhancement at the lowest historical price.
Among them, special items like the Purifying Green Lotus, which can be used sustainably, may even have immeasurable appreciation potential in the future.
Speculations regarding the various uncertainties of the Evolution Store have ignited the enthusiasm and anxiety of players from all races.
They feel if they don't go all-in now, they might not even have the qualification to participate in future Evolution Store auctions.
They should seize the opportunity while the number of qualified players is still few, and attempt to join this tide of evolution sweeping through civilized society.
At this moment, the official website of Monster World.
On the Evolution Store page.

...
What hit the nerve of the qualified players and outside visitors the most during this auction was.
The Moon Eclipse Clan unexpectedly participated in this auction as well.
Even external visitors know that "Shou Jili" is the game name of the president of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce.
Although the Moon Eclipse Clan had long patched, stating that they would not receive any privileges regarding anything related to the Monster World.
All Moon Eclipse Clan players, along with players from various races of the Earth Alliance, are on an equal starting line.
Yet unexpectedly, even the rare items in the Evolution Store, the Moon Eclipse Clan did not enjoy advance privileges.
While members of all clans are puzzled, they feel that the Star Network might indeed want to use Monster World to build a united Earth Alliance social structure.
At least this aspect has been well demonstrated in the Monster World.
With players in the same faction, sharing of territory profits and Life Souls among players, numerous external antagonistic forces... a series of settings are shaping a framework of unity and mutual assistance.
Yet, the layout of the Star Network is still difficult for various clans in the Earth Alliance to understand.
But despite not understanding, all clan members are still scrambling to bid, without any intention to back down.
