Divine Ability Stone

Great Gan Kingdom, Changfeng City.

Today is the second day since Lu Mingyuan created the "Mathematics Divine Ability: Chicken and Rabbit in a Cage," and also the second day since he uploaded the ability to the Divine Ability Treasury for consignment.

It is now the hour of the dog (7-9 PM). Lu Mingyuan, exhausted after a long day, is lying on his soft, large bed, refreshing the Divine Ability Treasury once again. He wants to check the sales performance of his ability.

At this moment, he has focused all his mental energy on the Divine Ability Treasury, waiting anxiously for the "lottery results."

Although Lu Mingyuan has great confidence in the ability he created and feels it will surely be a bestseller, this is his first time, after all. It hasn't become a hit yet, and he has invested almost all the assets he has accumulated over the years—his Human Luck Points and Earth Luck Points—into this, so he can't help but feel a bit apprehensive.

He is constantly worried that he might lose everything.

If he ends up like most people—having gone through the trouble of creating an ability only for no one to buy it—it wouldn't just be a matter of financial loss; he would have no way to make a comeback.

Although Lu Mingyuan is a transmigrator and possesses knowledge different from this world, allowing him to potentially recover, doing so would deviate from the plans he previously made. He would have to replan his future to avoid inviting fatal trouble.

This world can be quite dangerous at times!

In fact, during the day, Lu Mingyuan checked the Divine Ability Treasury several times, but he found that fewer than twenty copies had been sold.

Faced with this result, even with all his self-confidence, he dared not be blindly optimistic, lest he end up being slapped in the face.

Therefore, Lu Mingyuan keeps checking the Divine Ability Treasury, hoping to suppress the panic in his heart and establish some confidence.

The sales of this ability truly affect his future plans, so Lu Mingyuan has to be cautious and prudent.

It is not easy to come up with another perfect life plan.

So, no matter how indifferent he appears on the surface, there is always a trace of panic in his heart. It is not that Lu Mingyuan is timid or cowardly; it is just that this matter is truly important, very important.

Just then...

Huh, why did the sales volume suddenly increase so much?

Lu Mingyuan looks at the sales of his Mathematics Divine Ability on the Divine Ability Treasury, feeling a bit dazed.

He remembers that before dinner, the total sales were stuck at thirty-five. How did it suddenly jump to three hundred and sixty-five after just one meal?

Could it really have gone viral?

Thinking of this, Lu Mingyuan seems to fall into a fantasy. His eyes are vacant, but his face is brimming with an unusual smile.

A moment later, he suddenly snaps back to reality, gently pats his forehead, and thinks: Stay calm, stay calm. This is nothing. There might be even more later.

Although Lu Mingyuan comforts himself this way, the smile on his face grows brighter and brighter.

It is as if he is gratified, as if he is proud.

As if in response to him, the sales volume suddenly increases by another dozen or so, and it continues to climb one or two at a time.

What is going on?

Could it be that someone is promoting it for me?

Although Lu Mingyuan is not yet clear about the reason for all this, at this moment, he has completely let go of the worries in his heart.

Sure enough, I am indeed a natural-born talent.

I can create a hit with just any random ability...

After admiring his own extraordinary wisdom for a good while, Lu Mingyuan puts away his conceited expression; it is time to get down to business.

I have sold 398 copies now, so the Qi Luck Points in the Divine Ability Treasury should be 39,800.

Hmm, a few more have sold.

It looks like I can afford that now.

Thinking of this, Lu Mingyuan flips to the section where treasures are sold in the Divine Ability Treasury.

The treasure section is an exclusive sales option of the Divine Ability Treasury itself. It only sells treasures unique to the Divine Ability Treasury; others cannot consign items there.

Unlike the Divine Ability area and the Classics area, which are all sold by others.

And for some reason, the Divine Ability Treasury cannot sell physical objects; it can only sell things like knowledge, such as divine abilities and classics.

Of course, the treasure option is an exception here.

Actually, if you view the Divine Ability Treasury as a virtual network, it becomes understandable. A virtual network can naturally only sell virtual items, except this virtual network can also sell its own physical goods.

Regarding the treasure option.

The first item is what everyone wants: the Divine Ability Stone, priced at ten million Qi Luck Points.

This Divine Ability Stone is actually the one given to everyone for free when they awaken. It can be used to assist in creating divine abilities and lower the hard requirements for creation.

Without it, although one could still create divine abilities, very few people in the world would be able to do so, and there wouldn't be the hundreds of millions, or even billions, of divine abilities in the Divine Ability Treasury.

Although most of these abilities are not very good, and hardly anyone learns them.

But through the sifting of the sands, there are always a few grains of gold.

Naturally, the price of the Divine Ability Stone is also very high, requiring ten million Qi Luck Points.

And this is the official price; it cannot be traded elsewhere.

It is not that it cannot be traded, but rather that the Divine Ability Stone is inside the Soul Space and cannot be taken out or transferred, so it can only be bought in the Divine Ability Treasury.

It is a monopoly.

Therefore, if someone wants to create a second divine ability, they have no choice but to spend ten million Qi Luck Points to purchase a Divine Ability Stone.

Otherwise, they would have to research the principles of divine abilities themselves and attempt to create one from scratch. However, Lu Mingyuan has never heard of anyone creating a divine ability without the use of a Divine Ability Stone.

Thus, the Divine Ability Stone remains an essential requirement for creating divine abilities.

Calculating it this way, Lu Mingyuan has not yet broken even. He still has a long way to go before he can recoup his costs. Currently, he has only sold less than forty thousand Qi Luck Points worth.

The gap between forty thousand and ten million is still quite large, and it will not be easy to catch up.

As for the price of the Divine Ability Stone, how should one put it? It is not necessarily expensive, yet it is not cheap either.

To say it is expensive, well, naturally, very few people can afford it.

To say it is not expensive, that is relative to the utility of the Divine Ability Stone; at that price, it is actually not expensive, considering that some people are indeed able to afford it.

Regarding the sources of various Qi Luck Points.

First, let us look at Human Luck: a one-star cultivator can generate 1 point of Human Luck per day, a two-star generates 2 points, a three-star 4 points, a four-star 8 points...

Assuming a newly promoted four-star expert, the amount of Human Luck they generate per year would be 8 multiplied by 365 days, totaling 2,920 points.

Calculated this way, even if they spent absolutely nothing and saved for a hundred years, they would only have three hundred thousand.

Therefore, to save up ten million points, it would take over three thousand three hundred years.

To be honest, that is far too long a time.

Moreover, as far as Lu Mingyuan knows, people in this world simply do not live that long. The typical lifespan limit for an ordinary person is usually two sixty-year cycles, which is about one hundred and twenty years.

Even if they lived longer, it would not be by much, and certainly not exceeding two hundred years.

Therefore, relying solely on saving Human Luck, an ordinary person could never afford a Divine Ability Stone in their entire lifetime.

Fortunately, everyone is given one for free when they awaken; otherwise, there would hardly be any divine abilities in this world at all.

If saving Human Luck does not work, what about Earth Luck?

Regarding Earth Luck, Lu Mingyuan does not know much, as ordinary people generally cannot obtain it. However, the pension his father received back in the day was only one thousand points of Earth Luck, so this can also be ruled out.

As for Heaven Luck, there is absolutely no clue about it whatsoever.

If none of the above methods work, then how can one obtain ten million Qi Luck Points?

Hmm...

Since one person cannot gather that many, one could find a way to pool them from others; one could gather the Qi Luck of others.

Many hands make light work!

Coincidentally, the Divine Ability Treasury allows for the consignment of divine abilities and books, so most people in this world rely on selling divine abilities and books to earn Qi Luck Points and gather the Qi Luck Points of others.

Many hands make light work!

For instance, with Lu Mingyuan's divine ability, if it is priced at 100 points, then as long as he sells 100,000 copies, would that not be ten million points?

However, except for some relatively famous divine abilities, such as the Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits of the Taoist School, the Encouraging Learning of the Confucian School, or the Weapon Summoning of the Mohist School, very few can reach such sales figures.

Nevertheless, Lu Mingyuan feels that his "Chicken and Rabbit in a Cage" can do it.

He has confidence in himself.

Although... he looks quite ordinary in this life.

But a person must have confidence; otherwise, what is the difference between them and a salted fish?
