The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast-Chapter 594 - 464: A World with Open-Price Tags (Part 2)
"There are indeed quite a few tricksters exploiting loopholes in the rules here, but most don't dare to go too far."
"When the water is too clear, there are no fish."
"Also, don't think it's so easy to exploit those loopholes."
"Since the System's power only covers the Coastal City surrounding area and the corresponding Outer Battlefield, to prevent anyone from making agreements in regions far from Coastal City to cheat, everyone who chooses to accept the System's rules is equivalent to having made an oath before the statue of the strategic partner, Holy Beast 'Dehinn', in Coastal City. This oath is not just based on spirit; it traces back causally to the past!" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Vishdair raised an eyebrow: "Causality, what's that? Sounds just like those rogue contractual clauses."
"Harlow! The system is above; the right to interpret belongs to the System and the official Great Xia authorities. If you're not convinced, you can go find them!"
At this moment, Lin Guang suddenly felt its voice sounded quite proud for a brief instant, as if sincerely proud from the heart.
But then it naturally calmed down and seriously explained: "Any transaction with a problem will be deemed invalid by the System, not counted into the credit level evaluation, and will be severely punished."
"As for reputation, the System observes by itself, combining with anonymous surveys periodically sent to individuals unrelated to the traders to evaluate."
"If one uses any means to make money, their reputation score won't be high, leading to a significant slowdown or even halt in the overall credit level increase."
Lisa also raised her small hand, looking puzzled: "Then... what about some less profitable careers? Don't they have a chance to emerge here?"
She tilted her head slightly: "I've heard of stocks, funds, and the like playing with the money of the poor, taking their property... Is that mainstream here in Coastal City?"
"Harlow, good question!"
"That's why there's the second criterion for credit rating growth, it's the contribution to Great Xia!"
Harlow spun around in the air, swaying gently, and said seriously:
"The situation is too complicated; only the System knows the scoring standard."
"But specifically, in this international metropolis, connected with numerous countries, as long as you create for or siphon wealth to Great Xia, the easier your credit level rises!"
"For example, an Advanced Researcher within the System's coverage who developed an innovative method to effectively repel a certain special Demon Race, but due to high costs, it lacks much economic benefit; only in the future might someone reference his paper, improving it based on his work."
"Would his only rewards be the fixed salary from the institute, points from the Great Xia Researcher Association, and future citations and improvements of uncertain timing?"
"Harlow—"
The pink Harlow plopped down on Lin Guang's knee: "Of course not!"
"Because these things are certainly needed by Great Xia and even the entire Blue Star! The same is true for wealth; it's the necessary technological accumulation of civilization!"
"So here in Coastal City, all of these will be transparently priced under the watch of giants and the sacred ones, converted into corresponding credit levels."
"Credit level in Coastal City is a symbol of identity, with various uses and can even be said to be true wealth. Although it cannot be traded, there are countless ways to monetize it!"
"Technicians, researchers, or even financial operators or profiteers, no matter the profession, without distinction of high or low, nobility or baseness, as long as they can practically increase the total wealth on this land of Coastal City, they are encouraged!"
"Use money and credit rating to purchase technology from everyone, or even glimpses of the future?"
Lin Guang nodded: "No wonder Coastal City is called the holy land for Great Xia researchers, with high-end research institutes everywhere."
Chelina also seemed thoughtful: "So, the previous portrayal wasn't just empty words."
"Here, Great Xia defines the specific value of everything."
"Profit pursuit is human nature, and pricing itself is a guidance aligned with this nature, telling everyone what is precious, what is cheap..."
In her past experience with the Texas Clan, apart from eliminating witnesses, strictly speaking, it was merely resolving family interest disputes in various ways, so she quickly understood this set."
"Harlow Harlow～"
Harlow spun around twice, looking quite pleased: "Miss Chelina has summarized it very well!"
"It's worth mentioning that purchasing items within the System will consume a certain credit level, but this credit level will rise back after a certain time, preventing large-scale arbitrage."
"Of course, small-time selling abroad to increase wealth is also possible, as it increases Great Xia's total wealth."
"There are also other rating criteria."
"The System will award corresponding 'titles' to some special existences, such as students who achieved excellent results in a league or a genius investor who made billions of Daxia Coins in a day."
Instantly, everyone's eyes focused on Lin Guang, who took out his phone and opened the personal information page.
