The simplest example can illustrate the serious consequences of excessive merit:
Assuming that cultivators can buy merits by spending money, then they can rob or kill mortals to loot Lingshi coins, then use the Lingshi coins to buy merits from the Lingshi Reserve Bank, and then use the stolen merits to continue robbing mortals.
Searching for spiritual stone coins, and then using the stolen spiritual stone coins to continue to exchange for merits, is like a perpetual motion machine accumulating one's own merits and wealth in an infinite cycle. This kind of behavior of spending money to buy merits and then using the merits to do bad things will definitely lead to
Disintegrate the fundamental order of the entire world of cultivation.
But if you do the opposite and set the price of merit too high, then you will be back to the problem of no one willing to spend spiritual stone coins to buy merit. This balance in the middle is very difficult to achieve, and it is almost easy to fall into "
The dilemma is that there are not enough people buying merits" and "the cultivators buy too many merits".
Regardless of the outcome, it will lead to unpredictable chain reactions. This is what Yang Lu has always emphasized before. Modifying the rules of heaven is like dancing on a tightrope. Even the smallest revision to the rules of heaven may trigger the previous
There was a completely unexpected butterfly effect, and even a huge bug that endangered the balance of the cultivation world was discovered.
Precisely because the consequences of tampering with the way of heaven are unpredictable, Mo Yunlan always expressed caution after hearing Yang Lu's plan.
If the financial crisis breaks down, there is still some room for salvation. If the rules of heaven are broken by Yang Lu, I am afraid that the ascended immortal will not be able to save the Jiuzhou cultivation world if he comes again!
However, Yang Lu has been thinking about the basic income plan for mortals for a long time. The problem that Mo Yunlan thought of has actually been thought of for a long time, and he already has a relatively mature solution to it.
At this time, facing Mo Yunlan's doubts, Yang Lu said confidently: "This is not difficult to solve! If the Tiandao host can really modify the Tiandao, then we can completely distinguish the merits obtained by donating money to the merit account from the merits obtained by doing normal good deeds.
open!"
Mo Yunlan asked curiously: "What does it mean to distinguish two kinds of merit?"
Yang Lu stretched out five fingers and introduced in turn: "The current heavenly virtues in Jiuzhou have five main functions: the first is to speed up the cultivation progress of cultivators, the second is to reduce the difficulty of breaking through bottlenecks, and the third is to
Being able to pass the test of certain secret realms of heaven and earth. The fourth one is to temporarily increase one's combat power in a short period of time. The last one is to use one's own merit to deduct it when doing evil deeds that go against public order and good customs. If it is obtained by doing normal good deeds,
The merit of donating money can be used to achieve these five goals at the same time, but the merit of donating money is not necessarily the same. We can artificially limit it and call it 'virtual merit'."
“What is virtual merit?”
Mo Yunlan knows how to follow people, which saves Yang Lu from boasting: "In my imagination, the so-called virtual merit can only be used to speed up practice and reduce the difficulty of breaking through bottlenecks, but it cannot be used to pass the test of the secret realm of heaven and earth.
It cannot increase one's own combat power, nor can it be used to deduct when doing bad things. In other words, even if a cultivator spends a huge amount of money to buy the Five Merit Golden Wheel, if he does not accumulate enough merit, he should go off when he kills people and sets fires.
To become a demon, you still have to go too far. The merits he bought cannot help him take the blame, but can only speed up his practice. In this way, the negative externalities caused by the overflow of merits can be controlled within a controllable range, and the indiscriminate use of merits that leads to Kyushu can be successfully solved.
The problem of complete imbalance of social order in the world of cultivation."
Yang Lu had prepared a complete plan, and Mo Yunlan finally couldn't ask any questions.
Because what Yang Lu said does make sense.
If the purchased merit can only be used for one's own practice, but cannot participate in the interaction with society, then the impact of this "purchasable merit" on the social order will become preventable and controllable.
Thinking of this, Mo Yunlan's eyes changed when she looked at Yang Lu.
How did this guy come up with this idea?
When normal people talk about modifying the way of heaven, they only think about how to tamper with the rules of the way of heaven. However, Yang Lu can actually think of tampering with the nature of merit itself, and he can actually solve the problem.
This kind of wild imagination reminded Mo Yunlan of how five hundred years ago, as an enlightenment immortal master, he gave lessons to President Lu Yang, but ended up being taught by him instead. At that time, Lu Yang always used various methods to teach him.
Methods that even Mo Yunlan could not think of solved various seemingly unsolvable problems...
In fact, Mo Yunlan didn't know that just like President Lu Yang's ideas came from the earth, Yang Lu's so-called virtual merit actually came from the virtual currency among netizens on the earth.
In order to defraud krypton, some unscrupulous online games will separate the virtual currency obtained by players' recharge from the virtual currency obtained by completing the game's built-in tasks. The former can buy anything, while the latter can only buy specific goods, in order to control abuse.
The impact of issuing game currency.
Of course, unscrupulous online games will not deny any sweetness. The game currency obtained through free tasks will definitely be of great use, but compared to the currency directly obtained by recharging, it is always useless at certain critical moments.
come out.
This method can easily deceive players.
Yang Lu's idea of virtual merit originated from unscrupulous online games on the earth, and this has been proven by countless experiences to be a balanced strategy that can perfectly balance the superiority of gold players and the enthusiasm of liver emperor players.
Although Mo Yunlan is a powerful boss and has seen many battles, he has never seen the power of krypton-gold online games, let alone the design of the krypton-gold system on Earth. That is in the Mountain of Corpses.
The local optimal solution iterated out of the bloody market competition is not something that a layman can easily see.
Because of this, Mo Yunlan, who had been unable to find fault for a long time, could only respond to Yang Lu with silence.
Seeing that Mo Yunlan never spoke, Yang Lu's tone became more determined: "As long as the use of super-generated merits is limited, the problem of imbalance between supply and demand of merits can be greatly alleviated. As for the price of virtual merits,
On the contrary, it is no longer important, because like the Cultivation Chamber of Commerce, we can adjust the pricing strategy of our own products in real time according to market conditions. Even if we are taken advantage of by speculators due to unreasonable pricing in the short term, we can correct it in time. After all, this is
Some virtual merits will not affect the benefits obtained by other do-gooders, giving us a huge room for error in operations. In addition, with the function of equal exchange with virtual merits, Lingshi Coin naturally has the strongest
Credit endorsement, when the Lingshi Reserve Bank issues new currency in the future, the seven major factions will no longer even need to use their own Lingshi mine equity for credit endorsement. Therefore, we can completely replace the existing Lingshi mine standard system without
We should seamlessly switch to the merit-based system to solve the current unsustainable currency issuance problem once and for all. Maybe the Lingshi Reserve Bank will be renamed the Merit Reserve Bank in the future!"
Merit Reserve Bank!
Hearing this term, Mingzhu realized belatedly that Yang Lu was not just an idea to solve the problem in his mind. He came to see Mo Yunlan with a set of grand top-level design blueprints.
