Luck Points

Biodata

Classification and Properties

Human Luck Generation by Cultivation

• Lu Mingyuan generates 1.5 Human Luck points per day, attributed to his comparatively abundant Talent Qi. 2
• An ordinary adult with roughly one inch of Talent Qi may need another two or three years of saving after awakening to afford even a simple divine ability. 2
• Human Luck alone is generally insufficient to purchase a Divine Ability Stone in a normal lifespan; at the Four-Star rate, saving ten million points would take over 3,300 years. 10

Acquisition and Circulation

Personal and Territorial Generation

Human Luck is produced by living beings every day, while Earth Luck is additionally produced at roughly one percent of the Human Luck rate. Unlike Human Luck, uncollected Earth Luck dissipates immediately; it must be gathered through a territorial secret technique before it can be used. 40

Earth Luck belongs only to the territorial power capable of collecting it. A territory owner cannot collect it from people who resent that owner, making popular support relevant to a state's revenue. 40

• Da Gan's Earth Luck is collected from population and cultivation levels, then divided among local governments, academies, the Hundred Schools, major families, and the national treasury. 40

Sales, Rewards, and Bounties

The Divine Ability Treasury allows people to sell divine abilities and classics in exchange for Qi Luck Points. Its minimum listed price for a divine ability is 100 points, while many classics cost only one point. 2

• Selling Chicken and Rabbit in the Same Cage at 100 points per copy let Lu Mingyuan recover over half of its 2,000-point creation cost through thirteen sales in its first night. 2 4
• The same ability later reached an estimated 200–300 million sales, representing 200–300 billion Luck Points at its listed price. 40
• The upgraded mathematics platform rewards question generators according to question difficulty and the time other users spend solving their questions; duplicate questions reduce the reward. 71
• More than 500 billion Luck Points were earned and distributed during the platform's fourth monthly distribution. 101
• Bounties can be posted in the Mathematics Illusion, though a 100-point bounty is considered costly for ordinary users. 125
• Killing an enemy of another race can yield Luck Points equal to that enemy's expected Human Luck generation over a full year. 113

Exchange and Transfer Limits

• Earth Luck may be exchanged for silver through regulated annual quotas; Lu Mingyuan exchanges 1,000 taels of silver and 1,000 Earth Luck points under his quota. 63
• Luck Point donations cannot freely circulate directly between individuals. For the Production Subsidy, donated points must be exchanged through the Taxation Department into tradable Earth Luck before distribution. 157
• Unregistered supernatural-power income is dangerous to spend openly. Lu Mingyuan cannot safely exchange the proceeds of his unregistered Chicken and Rabbit in the Same Cage for silver, limiting him to purchases and supernatural-power deductions within the network. 49

Uses

Thought Acceleration

Human Luck can be burned to double the user's thought speed for one hour per point. Lu Mingyuan uses this function while designing supernatural powers and refining their structures. 2 21

Purchases and Services

Economic and Social Impact

Luck Points retain stable purchasing power; Lu Mingyuan notes no depreciation over nearly a thousand years. 22 Their concentration nevertheless creates major disparities, as powerful states, schools, and families can use accumulated points to outspend ordinary creators and produce stronger versions of promising ideas. 49 87

• The ability to spend massive Luck Point reserves to force deductions makes successful supernatural powers strategically important to states. Da Gan considers funding replication of Chicken and Rabbit in the Same Cage because its success could affect national income and development. 40 41
• Luck Point wealth can attract political danger. Emperor Ye Zhiming regards Anonymous's hundreds of billions of points as wealth comparable to a nation's and considers demanding a “donation.” 41
• Lu Mingyuan's mathematics platform redistributes earnings to question setters and problem solvers, creating an unusually accessible source of Luck Points for ordinary users. 71 74 101
• The Production Subsidy provides 100 Earth Luck points to women purchasing healing supernatural powers before childbirth; the government covers no more than one-tenth of the cost, with donations funding the remainder. 150
