The Market
"Big bosses! Big bosses! I've been framed by that villain!"
"What [EX] level Talent? I've never even heard of it! It must be some despicable trick used by that extraterrestrial demon to invade our [Origin Realm]! I'm just an unsuspecting pawn. Go ahead and torment me, just spare my life..."
Qing Yunnan said with great interest:
"Oh? But we are the demons from outer space."
Chu Tianjun was taken aback, but then replied without hesitation, "Big shots, me too, me too!"
"I'm Crossing! No wonder I've seen your favorability ratings soaring, we're naturally on the same side! I despise this damn [Origin Realm] the most; it's nothing but a caste society that's nominally based on the rule of law and equality, yet it's tainted with the wicked habits of capitalism. Help me, everyone!"
Qing Yunnan glanced at the other two and shrugged:
"Let's go, I see the new mission is almost halfway done, let's go get Dao Mark first."
"No, why are the Scholars making us get upgrade cards? Can't we just get one from the Feng Family?"
In the vibrant Laboratory, Yun Xiaoxiao was complaining to Xiao Xiao Luo, the Number Two Kin.
"Even the Feng Family doesn't have that. Local bullies in small cities wouldn't have a stockpile of [S]-level Talent cards; they don't have that kind of financial resources."
"Kin Number Two, Xiao Xiao Luo, said coldly, while simultaneously operating on the [Deity Network], buying and selling various resources."
In this world, the [Deity Network] is roughly equivalent to an advanced version of the Internet—the Internet of Things (IoT).
It not only integrates information and social functions, but also allows users to purchase most items from the Deity World.
Leaving aside the various basic resources, there are also all sorts of races, powerful and unique heroes, bizarre and wonderful sights, and a vast array of special cards...
For most deities, the [Deity Network] is something that accompanies them throughout their lives, and most of their interactions with the Divine Kingdom are completed on it.
Yun Xiaoxiao leaned over and took a look at the Plane.

God Crystals are an advanced version of God Coins, with an exchange rate of approximately one to one hundred million. They are the currency used by True God- level deities.
Yun Xiaoxiao's gaze fell on the manufacturing area in the center of the Laboratory.
A continuous stream of all kinds of supplies and items were pouring out of the Void, as if they had appeared out of thin air.
[Sub-Fermi-Level Assembly Technology]
The Laboratory's ordinary manufacturing megastructure possesses sub-Fermi level assembly technology, meaning it can assemble things at the atomic nucleus level.
So theoretically, anything with a precision greater than or equal to that of an atomic nucleus can be manufactured endlessly, as long as the Laboratory has the data and blueprints, just like building with blocks.
All that's required is some energy.
This is a kind of overwhelming superiority in manufacturing technology.
Relying on its powerful industrial technology, it trades directly with the market, exchanging energy.
God Coins are a type of universal energy currency. In the [Origin Realm], they primarily manifest as [electricity], but they can also manifest as other energy sources, such as Mana, Qi, Vital Energy, and the Power of Faith...
After leaving the [Origin Realm], the God Coins will also break free from the Suppression of the World Rules, and their energy value will instantly expand by hundreds of millions of times...
Yes, even energy itself is Suppression in the [Origin Realm]. God Coins are compressed energy extracted from various energies within the Divine Kingdom and then given to the gods.
This unique characteristic is also the core reason why the God Coins has maintained its status as a universal currency in the free development environment of countless Divine Kingdoms and civilizations.
This energy is even more versatile than [Source Essence], but neither the Laboratory nor Su Luo would consider it a universal energy source.
Because this kind of thing is [regional], it will most likely turn into a lump if it leaves this world. Therefore, most of the [God Crystals ] that are traded are converted into [Source Essence] by Xiao Xiao Luo, the Number Two of the Kin.
"Hey waiter, when are you going to upgrade my god level? Don't you think it's a waste to trade with such high taxes?"
Su Luo's current godhood level is still mediocre; she's not even Divinity being.
Isn't Su Luo's divine position the same as Yun Xiaoxiao's?
If her divine position isn't elevated, how can Yun Xiaoxiao rise from a [District] to a [Fierce]?
To prevent low-level deities from making reckless moves, high-level markets impose high taxes on the buying and selling of high-level items, aiming to prevent bidding wars.
Of all the [God Crystals ] obtained from the previous transactions, 95% have been taken.
"Don't panic, don't panic, there's still money to be made."
Even with a 95% tax rate, the Number Two- Xiao Xiao Luo Kin can still earn energy thanks to its extremely cost-effectiveness.
Go play somewhere else.
Yun Xiaoxiao wandered around for a bit, but found it uninteresting.
One day in the [Origin Realm] is equivalent to one year in the [Void].
In theory, Divine Kingdom also has a year, but with the addition of some wondrous acceleration cards, the acceleration of some Divine Kingdoms can even be increased to more than ten years.
During this period, the actions of the Number Two Kin, Xiao Xiao Luo, were also very repetitive:
Buy a sample of most of the products in the [Deity Network] open market to keep in stock, Optimization them, and then sell them at a low price to test which product has the highest profit margin before finally mass-producing them.
The energy obtained will be used to create [Void Matter] and improve the Laboratory itself.
[Current Balance: God Crystals: 745,800,000]
This wealth was like having a cheat code activated; unimaginable riches descended upon the Laboratory from the [Deity Network].
Yun Xiaoxiao then turned her attention to the world auction house in the [Deity Network].
[Talent Rank-Up Card (S)]
[Current starting bid: 5000 God Crystals ]
[Talent Rank-Up Card] is the world's biggest value-added agent; its price can easily increase hundreds or even thousands of times during special periods.
This price is already a premium. [S] grade and above Talent Rank-Up Cards have never been available on the market and are basically sold through auctions.
In addition, with the annual awakening of the gods, wealthy individuals across the world will drive up the price of Talent Rank-Up Cards, making it difficult for Survivors to quickly convert their wealth into cash, which might cause some trouble.
But for Su Luo, this was not a problem.
Yun Xiaoxiao pressed the reservation button, regarding money as dirt:
"One hundred million God Crystals."
[Origin Realm], Su Luo canceled the operation on the payment Plane, his expression turning unpleasant.
