MC's career as foreign lord

"Whew! Finally, almost done!" Just as the sky outside began to turn faintly light, he finally finished setting up his regional server.

However, the two girls behind him didn't seem to be awake; they were still sleeping. But with one being a quasi-legend and the other a dragon, there was no need to worry about their physical condition. It was fine to let them sleep a little longer in this mushroom house.

People from this world still have much to learn about the online world, but he wasn't in a hurry, and neither were the other two.

Xiya and Anna didn't have much to do usually. Besides taking care of the little elves, they spent most of their time on their own research. Of course, the silver dragon spent most of her time sleeping.

Zhou Ren's initial idea was to conduct one or two tests in the territory before truly opening it up, and then, after everyone approved, to promote it to the entire world through the Tree of Life or other plant servers.

"If someone disagrees, they can't refuse a free Tree of Life, right?" Zhou Ren said.

The costs he incurred naturally required him to obtain enough benefits. If not, he wouldn't mind taking them himself.

"Today, I can study the way experience points, currency, and the spiritual world connect with each other. If I can successfully connect them, I can even save on recharges!" Zhou Ren said.

In fact, it's not that there's no way to extract experience points, but rather that they would turn into other things, like enchantments.

"Hiss..." Zhou Ren paused, immediately turned back, walked back to his cabin, and found Mossa, who was about to check his location.

The lich was probably also a little stunned. Why did his master only return now? Shouldn't he have gone to bed early last night?

"Master, you..." However, before he could finish speaking, Zhou Ren hurriedly pulled him upstairs, then took out a gold coin and placed it on the enchanting table.

"Mossa, what do you think, if we directly enchant people using the experience points on the gold coin, would it work?" Zhou Ren asked. He remembered that the original enchanting in MC was actually done through one's own runes, as well as the consumption and inscription of experience points.

Lapis lazuli actually serves to save materials. Without lapis lazuli, the experience point cost would increase tenfold, but the effect would be the same.

"Theoretically, of course, it's possible to do it this way!" Mossa said. Since he said that, there must be a "but" coming next.

"But... your enchantment won't have any benefit on people; it's just a way to use experience points, and it might even consume half the amount!" Mossa said.

"Moreover, these experience points will be retained after being recharged into their bodies and won't bring them any improvement. There's no point in doing this!"

"Normally, if people directly use gold coins, all the experience will transform into their own abilities and combat power. No one would do that!"

Zhou Ren shook his head. "That's not necessarily true. There's no limit to how much experience we can obtain, but there's a limit to how much experience ordinary people can use. We've already proven this in previous tests!"

He nodded very decisively, then brought up another topic, "Besides... who says that no one will pay if half is consumed? Without lapis lazuli, the experience point consumption is tenfold, and people will still pay!"

Zhou Ren said with a smile, "We've created a spiritual world. Would you like to come and experience it?"

With a thought, he took out the mushroom from beside the bed, and the two of them entered the spiritual world at the same time.

With Mossa's arrival, the world visibly filled up, as if with the spirit of a legendary powerhouse, and a lich's spirit at that, possessing the power to fill the entire world.

"How did I not think of this? The things that everyone's spirit imagines are a consumption to the world itself, but for the progress of the entire world, it's actually a supplement!" Zhou Ren said.

Isn't this the process of the true emergence of the primordial spiritual world? The spirits from the mushroom people gather together, making the world more and more solid and stronger.

In that case, he doesn't have to worry about the world collapsing. As long as more people appear, the spiritual world will become more stable and vast, thereby feeding back into the construction of this world. This is the real effect!

Because of this eye-opening realization, he finally began to illuminate other things at this moment. After a night of struggle, the entire virtual world finally became a little different.

The first thing that caught his eye was the huge, exaggerated text in the sky, visible even without opening his eyes: "Silver Dragon Times!"

Not bad, the little silver dragon did a good job. This thing was filled with extravagant luxury and a terrifying aristocratic feel that was very eye-catching. If people saw it, it should be shocking enough.

That's what he wanted. If the news wasn't able to grab people's attention, then the portal would be too much of a failure. Everyone who passed by here would see the news on the Silver Dragon Times. They didn't need to post their opinions; they just needed to watch it themselves.

Zhou Ren wasn't planning to quickly push this virtual world to the era of all self-media. He had to become the official and control the tone for a long time so that his future plans could continue to mature.

And as they stepped into another space, Yaya Xueyu's voice also re-immersed them into reality. This was a towering tree, and on top of the tree, a group of small, cute people were desperately waving the magic wands in their hands, making some strange training poses.

This place, like an elf classroom, should be the learning environment created by Xiya. The worlds in front of the little elves suddenly shattered, revealing places like magical targets.

Here, they could train their magic knowledge, have more fun, and even fly up with their imagination and release magic freely.

"If there really was such a place, everyone would learn magic very quickly!" Mossa sighed, and something seemed to be truly touched in his eyes.

"What do you think of my spiritual world like this?" Zhou Ren said. Now, under special permissions, this world has been completely isolated from the world of the mushroom people, leaving only pure spirit.

And in this world, there are only the spirits of the four of them, so the effect produced by the gathering of spirits is not particularly obvious. However, because of the existence of top legendary powerhouses, he realized the effect of the gathering of spirits, which may be considered in the future.

For example, gathering the spirits of those top powerhouses who come in and creating a separate server, wouldn't that be even more outstanding?

For example, with so many people gathered, could the experience points they recharge be re-collected through the Tree of Life, using the previous function that allows recharging experience points?

This could create a simple closed loop for experience points...

"Hey!" Just as the Lich was experiencing the wonders of the world, Zhou Ren suddenly had another idea, "Let's combine the Church of the Goddess of Wealth with the Tree of Life, and then spread our trading points all over the world through the church. Each trading point will plant a Tree of Life, which can not only serve as a regular server but also be used to recycle experience points!"

"They have the power to issue currency and the ability to mint their own currency. The used currency will be re-collected at these Wealth Church points and then re-minted and issued!"

"Isn't this... a combination of telecom service halls, base stations, and banks?" Zhou Ren's eyes lit up. Then he could imagine even more, such as merging various stock and fund purchasing methods, and making such Wealth Church submarines bigger and bigger, turning them into a huge hall to benefit the people.

Wouldn't it be more comfortable to gather all the monetary transaction methods and social wealth accumulation methods into one thing?

With this idea, he suddenly couldn't stop. If he really did this, the virtual world would not only need to add many functions, but even the matching World Trees and churches outside would need to be redesigned. This is not a small project; it might be even bigger than his money plan.

On his other side, Mosa seemed to finally recover from the surprise of these worlds, looking at Zhou Ren with some astonishment. He originally thought that those blocky things were the limit of his master, but he didn't expect him to come up with new tricks.

"The plans you mentioned are all feasible, but I need to study the enchantment methods!" Mosa said.

After all, recharging things and enchanting people have completely different effects. If he doesn't understand it well, he will probably fail.

Ah, since the words have already been spoken, Zhou Ren doesn't mind explaining to Mosa exactly what kind of effect he needs.

After all, the Lich still doesn't quite understand. Since they are spending money anyway, why not let them directly buy things from his territory? Why bother to let them enchant their bodies in a virtual world?

After all, according to Zhou Ren's design, this enchantment is not directly given to them but rather temporarily stored on their bodies and then recycled through the Tree of Life.

This decision, which is almost based on freeloading, really makes him feel unacceptable. However, his lord has not made a wrong decision so far, so he naturally can't refute it and can only continue to research solutions for him.

"Just tell me what kind of method would be better?" Zhou Ren said. At least the things he currently possesses cannot solve this problem, and there should be new solutions between the merging of the two worlds.

"Since you said that experience points can be absorbed through the Tree of Life, then what we need to solve is the method of extracting experience from gold coins through the spirit!" Mosa said. He also feels that this method is a bit difficult, but it's not that he has no ideas.

After coming to this territory, he has obtained many special powers that are usually difficult to obtain and has also learned many special rules hidden behind the world, such as the rules that allow them to automatically absorb items, and the rules that allow them to directly absorb experience points.

However, just as the two were racking their brains, Mosa suddenly slapped his head. He was led astray by Zhou Ren. "Master, this is not an enchantment, it's just a simple observation!"

Experience points can be attached to a person's body. Whether they are stored in the body without being consumed or directly strengthened, it is actually determined by their own will. Then he can directly design a method to observe their use of experience points through the spiritual world.

This also means that when recharging with experience points, all their experience points will be adsorbed on their bodies, and they have not obtained any of it. This is not an enchantment.

"If it's just observation, the effect is very simple!" Mosa said, "I can open a gap in the spiritual world and detect the amount of experience points obtained through some weak magic, and then attach the same amount to the same location in their spiritual world!"

Zhou Ren said, "The idea is to use the spiritual world as the ultimate information carrier, but our experience points are not circulating through the spiritual world. It's just an attachment!"

His eyes lit up. Isn't this online currency?

Online currency adds value through real-world currency but only circulates in the online world. No matter how much value is added to the real-world currency, it still exists in reality and will not suddenly flow out.

This solves the problem of exchanging the two currencies that he has been racking his brains over. He can issue as much online currency as he wants and doesn't care about circulation at all.

His eyes suddenly lit up, and the next second, he exited the spiritual world. "Mosa, you can continue to experience it here. I suddenly thought of a solution!"

Mosa's reminder did make him feel other problems. He was a bit too obsessed with his own ideas, but this world should have better solutions.

He has no way to complete the spread and monitoring of the entire world, but the major churches can. He cannot expose this spiritual world system to the other party, but the spread of the Tree of Life and money is possible.

Just like he said, even the position of the gods can be abandoned. What's wrong with continuing to hand over this spiritual world to those gods? The central server is in his hands. He has the final say on what programs he wants to do.

He controls the platform, not the right to spread the platform. He controls the control of money or spirit, not other things.

"I want to control the lifeline of all the gods in this world. I hope you can greedily see the last day I speak of!" Zhou Ren looked at the sky, as if looking at those who were facing him in the astral world.

"I seem to suddenly understand the meaning of coming to this world!"
