Soul Coins

Biodata

Background

Soul Coins function as the standard currency of the interconnected Oddity World. They are used to purchase items, props, services, and even contracted ghosts, making them necessary for both daily survival and advancement within dungeon worlds. 42

They are not merely money: each coin contains ghost energy, and higher-denomination coins hold a greater concentration of it. Oddities may absorb this energy to strengthen themselves, leaving behind fewer coins after the energy has been consumed. 42

Mu Rufeng's access to Soul Coins changes dramatically when he selects the Infinite Soul Coins cheat upon entering a dungeon. The cheat grants him an initial balance of 1,000,000,000,000 Soul Coins for unlimited spending. 42

Properties

• Currency value — Soul Coins are accepted for goods, services, dungeon-related expenses, and business transactions throughout the Oddity World. 42
• Ghost-energy content — Oddities can consume the ghost energy within Soul Coins for cultivation; coin denomination affects the energy concentration. 42
• Non-inflationary nature — Unlike ordinary currency, Soul Coins retain inherent value because they are a consumable cultivation resource. 297
• Bank-card cultivation — Holders of Heaven and Earth Bank cards can consume their account balance to absorb Ghost Power for cultivation. 297
• Unlimited inventory storage — Soul Coins are exempt from the usual one-item-per-slot Inventory restriction. 33
• Physical fuel source — Soul Coins can power Oddity World machinery and supernatural facilities, including a mobile Login Bracelet production line and Death Castle fireplaces. 270 300

Soul Coins and Soul Power

Soul Coins and Soul Power are closely linked but serve different purposes. Soul Coins are spendable currency and ghost-energy resources, while Soul Power strengthens the soul and is required for Golden City's higher floors, gambling systems, and certain advanced transactions. 233 236

Golden City is uniquely positioned to exchange the two resources. Its third floor and higher entertainment areas accept Soul Power rather than Soul Coins, while its first-entry exchange system allows guests to convert a limited amount of Soul Coins into Soul Power. 233

A normal adult intelligent creature possesses approximately one Soul Unit, while non-intelligent creatures possess up to 0.1 units and plants up to 0.01 units. The Soul-Absorbing Gourd can collect this Soul Power for later conversion into Soul Coins. 272

Notable Transactions

• Mu Rufeng publicly offers a 100,000 Soul Coin bounty against the Pig-Head Oddity after the Bloody Train disembarks. 54
• He attempts to convert his remaining 3.9 billion Soul Coins upon first entering Golden City, but the exchange counter enforces a 100 million Soul Coin cap. 233
• After accumulating Soul Power through Golden City gambling, Mu Rufeng exchanges 10 million Soul Power for 100 billion Soul Coins. 238
• Mu Rufeng agrees to transfer 99% of his Soul Coins to the country to fund Attribute Fruits and prepare personnel for the dungeons' full opening. 180
• He later transfers two trillion Soul Coins to Ye Lin and the Relevant Department. 287
• Golden City cannot immediately cover Mu Rufeng's exchange of Soul Power valued at ten trillion Soul Coins, requiring time to transfer reserves from Heaven and Earth Bank and Angel Bank. 276
• Mu Rufeng's Soul Coin reserves reach 15.08 trillion in a later status panel. 364

Economic Role

Soul Coins underpin both individual dungeon progression and large-scale institutional development. Contractors use them to delay dungeon entries, buy survival resources, and obtain spiritual items, while nations use them to equip preparatory players and distribute Login Bracelets. 36 180 398

The Relevant Department's Login Bracelet policies create a recurring circulation system: players who clear a dungeon generally earn at least 100 Soul Coins, enabling them to purchase replacement bracelets while returning currency to national reserves. 398

Golden City and the major banks hold exceptionally large Soul Coin reserves. Golden City's wealth derives not only from deposits but also from loans collateralized by souls and lifespan, reinforcing Soul Coins' role as a foundation of Oddity World commerce. 351
