"That's true, but if Aincrad is merely a processor, then it's not a problem. Just like how I put all the souls into the golden Soul Lantern, and the soul flames it produces can then be used for River God summons."
"Aincrad can't be used directly. The monsters killed by players in Aincrad are still just data. Only after connecting it to its original world and having that world provide World Power can those monsters become real monsters rather than mere data. Only then can they produce Paradise Gold Coins," Chen Luo explained.
Because Aincrad had not been hanging from the World Tree for long and was only a semi-finished product, it could not operate independently.
Whether it could be self-sufficient was the mark of whether a world had truly taken shape.
Precisely because it was a semi-finished product, it needed an energy supply. Since that energy had not been duplicated through the gold-and-silver ability, it would not affect the output of the gold and silver Aincrads.
Essentially, the gold and silver Aincrads were merely higher-grade monster processors.
The changes in the gold and silver Aincrads were nothing more than improvements in energy efficiency.
The original Aincrad could spend one Gold Coin to generate two Gold Coins in profit.
The silver and golden Aincrads, meanwhile, could spend one Gold Coin to produce four or even eight Gold Coins in profit.
"When it comes to using River God Ability, I'm a professional," Chen Luo said confidently.
"You're a professional miser, right?" Yakumo Yukari had more or less understood.
"That's called the rational use of energy!"
"Then according to your theory, why not summon the World Tree in its gold and silver states, then cultivate it with the most basic energy? Is it because the World Tree is more like your apple
