Spiritual Light
"Then you're in a really bad situation. We weren't betrayed; we were arrested!"
Ronan Chandler's tone carried a hint of superiority.
[Hengjin Jun]: "... Is this something to be proud of? I suspect you came here on purpose to get arrested."
After the three got to know each other, they turned their attention to the woman huddled in the corner.
The woman, with disheveled hair obscuring her eyes and brows, a cold, restrictive collar around her neck, and black shackles binding her hands, knelt Jingjing on the ground, already taking on some kind of shape.
The three men were filled with awe and respect.
This person is clearly a strong individual; he exudes the aura of a powerful figure.
After all, the three of them were thrown directly into Dreamscape by the Scholar, without any restrictions.
The person in front of them was wearing a collar and shackles, and may have even undergone some kind of inhumane training.
The Scholar must have his reasons for doing this.
This woman is definitely a strong person!
Before the three could even approach and figure out what was going on, the Scholar appeared in the center of the Ethereal room.
However, His aura was icy cold, devoid of any human warmth.
"Next, you will need to use your Talents to meet all my requirements, and in the meantime, I will guarantee your survival in Large Dungeons."
Xiao Luo initiated a one-time transaction with the three of them.
Before the three could reply, Xiao Luo looked at Ronan Chandler:
Now describe the effects of your Talent.
"So direct? I'm not ready... but it's fine anyway." Ronan Chandler raised his hands as he faced the black longsword that appeared in Xiao Luo's hand.
"My Talent is simple: being Capitalist."
[Talent: Capitalist (+1):]
Effect 1: Contracts: You can enter into various rights and responsibilities Contract with any individual, including clauses such as interest rebates, asset collateral, and labor contracts. The enforceability of the contract depends on your strength.
Effect Two: Asset Acquisition and Ownership Confirmation: Invested capital can be used to define your own assets, and all outputs from those assets belong to you. The enforceability of these outputs is determined by your strength.
Effect 3: Credit Leverage: Allows for the overdraft of Future earnings and assets, leveraging extremely high capital leverage. The overdraft limit is determined by the size of past contracts and asset accumulation.
Talent with growth potential.
Xiao Luo nodded slightly, thinking that this Talent was not bad.
This Talent is extremely versatile and can be used in all sorts of creative ways.
"Can I borrow your Free Attribute Points? Lend me ten, I'll pay you back in my next life." Ye Guanlan listened silently and then uttered a load of nonsense.
"So I'm that awesome, I can even force the Survival System to run." Ronan Chandler was speechless.
"Invest capital into the entire [Starry Flower Remains] and privatize it, while simultaneously signing mandatory contracts." Xiao Luo began to make arrangements.
"I don't have that much capital. I'm penniless now, even more so than those people's entrepreneurs!" Ronan Chandler explained helplessly.
"You can borrow it." Xiao Luo wasn't fooled at all.
"We'll leverage high leverage to acquire capital for the Future, then use that capital to acquire [Starry Flower Remains] and sign a mandatory contract. This 'draining the pond to catch all the fish' will directly convert it into mass energy and transport it here. We'll clear out the Survivor are ruling the mountain above."
Ronan Chandler frowned. "I'm afraid... the results will be very poor."
"You can earn a percentage to maintain your assets, and I will also give you a Golden Nature extraction device, Second Era Golden Core technique."
"No problem, my dear Scholar, it's my honor to benefit from this." Ronan Chandler immediately bowed politely.
If you don't exploit surplus value, can you still be called Capitalist?
Only through continuous exploitation and theft can Ronan Chandler maintain the system he built around Talent.
Having resolved the collection issue, Xiao Luo turned her attention to [Hengjin Jun].
This guy's Talent is simple: Conversion Tables.
"You can directly convert the mass energy he transports into currency on the Conversion Table, and then use it to buy souls indefinitely." Xiao Luo tossed out a blank soul as a template.
"No, Scholar. Ordinary Constitution energy and electricity are only considered level two currency in my Conversion Table, while this kind of soul requires level five currency." [Hengjin Jun] also had a problem.
A Source Essence Crystal condensed in Xiao Luo's hand.
What level is this?
"Level nine. If it's this kind of energy, then there's no problem. Higher-level equivalent currencies can be converted downwards."
"Understood." After dealing with this matter, Xiao Luo looked at Ye Guanlan.
"No! No! No! Get the hell away from me! Get away from me!"
Ye Guanlan understood something.
Scholars now need an enormous number of souls to fill that Mental Singularity outside!
He now possesses an entire Small World, and a vast number of living beings inhabiting Small World.
At this moment, Ye Guanlan desperately wished he were selling his ass!
Xiao Luo began expanding the Source Essence production line in the Dreamscape, while Qiao Wenxi Optimization it and kept Ye Guanlan under control.
The original production line in the Dreamscape is severely undercapacitated, so we need Ye Guanlan's Small World to fill the gap.
"My consciousness will be fully preserved; I won't make a mistake."
After some struggle, Xiao Luo picked up Ye Guanlan's Small World.
Ye Guanlan suffered a humiliating defeat, and knelt blankly beside Qiao Wenxi, hating his own weakness and powerlessness that led to the tragedy.
"Afterwards, I will leave behind some technology and Spell, which will be sold by one generation to provide a happy life for future generations."
Xiao Luo began extracting souls.
The internal flow rate of this Small World is three thousand times faster than normal, and the civilization that has developed within it is about as prosperous as the Seven-Nation Federation of the previous era.
"Barely... the collapse has been stabilized."
Su Luo knew nothing about the turmoil and chaos in the outside world.
His appearance was like withered wood, his heart like dead ashes, devoid of feeling and desire, utterly detached from worldly affairs.
Without the intention to be still, nothing is not still.
Sinking into the high-pressure tempering of the Mental Singularity, consciousness strips away all external appearances and cuts off all distracting thoughts, leaving only the Origin to be reshaped in endless crushing.
Why were the Survivors so terrified in the early days of the Darkness Survival?
Naturally, it's because of the darkness.
It was a darkness unlike anything I had ever seen before.
In ordinary people, rod cells produce visual noise, and the darkness that people see is merely intrinsic gray.
The darkness of Darkness Survival is something even darker than the inherent gray, capable of swallowing up visual noise.
Faced with such an unfamiliar world, the brain naturally tends to idle, and getting lost or losing Sanctuary is a common occurrence.
The darkness Su Luo is now facing is even purer, to the point that she can't even perceive herself.
That was the darkness of death.
When a person is reflecting on themselves, there is always an invisible light shining upon them, even if they are completely unaware of it.
This is the beam of consciousness, the light of awareness, the self-reflection of consciousness, the light of the Spiritual Light.
The reason why all living beings are alive is because of this glimmer of Spiritual Light that continues to exist.
If even the light of awareness has dissipated.
In every sense, this person is already dead.
