Defying the Fate of Beheading

Chapter 666 351: The Goddess of Wealth Descends Once Again_2

"Do you really need to see it?!" Louis could bet that the little swan was simply curious to see how greedy he could be."Oh, come on, you're just spending someone else's money to fulfill your own dream, but somehow it involves the slots for the Tomb of Warriors, which are extremely valuable. The far-sighted nobles have already seen through this.

If they want to secure slots, they need to spend a lot of money, and the money spent will be used to purchase materials and open the slots.

This is essentially a business without capital; in principle, as long as there are enough buyers, your demi-plane will undoubtedly continue to strengthen."

However, Beatrice refuted this point: "Excluding the slots occupied by us, outsiders need to spend money to secure slots.

And only a few have the ability to purchase this service, so it's impossible to grow indefinitely. This operation was never about making money initially, but about encouraging many strong players to contract, thereby compensating for Louis's lack of extraordinary energy.

Thinking about how much it can sell for is the worst strategy; we can offer it at cost price, and the added value all goes to Louis."

Olivia also laughed: "Sister is right, gaining the right to open the Tomb of Warriors and use the combat skills slot is a reinforcing method for any melee profession, and even other professions with some melee abilities.

Even demigods would covet the slots for the Tomb of Warriors.

Our employers buy materials at a low price and then hold slots in the Tomb of Warriors; we provide extra value with partial knowledge of the Tomb of Warriors and combat skills slots.

As long as this extra value satisfies them, even if we raise the price to an almost unacceptable level, no one would refuse."

Yes.

This is the so-called added value.

In the financial market, this is akin to passing the parcel, relying on this method.

The substantial rise in the valuation of Internet companies is the same.

Strictly speaking, when companies go public in America and stock prices rise, it's not that the company's actual assets increase by that much, but rather that "people believe it has the potential to increase by that much in the future," and then they invest in advance.

But if Louis directly sells the origin slots of the Hall of Greed, then potential buyers, unless they have lost their minds, would never pay such a high price to purchase slots.

However, Internet companies, whose market value is always inflated, need to rely on entities and technology to provide a basis for stock increases.

The changes the Tomb of Warriors can make to warriors are value expressions in themselves.

And this value, Louis can infinitely replicate and transfer the replication cost to those "willing to spend."

This is much more effective than making empty promises in front of demigods.

Making empty promises elsewhere with no tangible assets or core technological strength, yet talking about valuations, is even less reliable than the traditional financial industry, and is nine point nine nine out of ten, a con, akin to those hyping virtual currency and the metaverse.

——When funds flow through them, it's not creating value but redistributing the assets of the last few idiots in the pass-the-parcel game.

Louis would never do such a thing.

"I want to expand the Hall of Greed, transfer risks, and avoid tarnishing my reputation, creating actual value, and combat skills slots are the easiest things to wholesale."

Using knowledge to create strength, using strength to create value, using value as feedback onto oneself, eventually snowballing in the right direction.

The two women looked at each other, nodded, indicating this operation was good.

If one is willing to strike and the other is willing to take it!

...

Soon, detailed information about the demi-plane of the Tomb of Warriors emerged from nowhere.

Can you imagine?

Even in the Star Continent, a world where communication is inconvenient, this news spread throughout the entire continent in just ten days.

Anyone with a bit of extra money and wanting to improve their close-combat abilities couldn't resist contacting the Empire after seeing the advertisements from Ense and Mayer Commerce outside.

The subsequent events naturally unfolded.

For the first time, Louis clearly felt how many wealthy people there were on the Star Continent.

Those top-level experts with vast surplus grains would take money out of their own pockets to "purchase slot contracts for the demi-plane."

Even if they didn't use them themselves, they would give them to their children or nephews and nieces to use.

But this wasn't the most amazing thing.

Building the Hall of Greed requires a large sum of money to purchase the corresponding materials.

These materials would not appear out of thin air but would be purchased from forces that owned them.

Then the question arises...

Would Mayer Commerce Association, which knew the inside story early on, rush to buy cheaply?

That certainly couldn't happen.

Once the plan was confirmed, the Mayer Commerce Association's gold coin chariot started operating.

You think that's it?

Don't forget that the body of the little swan is still in the real treasure mountain "Fallen Star Sea," digging materials like crazy with Louis's most loyal [oxen and horses] Limuru at her side.

Can you guess how many unexploited resources are hidden beneath the ocean?

And how many of these resources are materials for building the Hall of Greed?

How much of the gold coins Louis has harvested from other countries have been reinvested into the Commerce Association by purchasing raw materials?

In this wave, the Empire was satisfied, Louis was satisfied, the buyers were satisfied, and the Mayer Commerce Association was satisfied...

This wasn't a zero-sum game but a win-win situation.

It genuinely created wealth redistribution and capital flow.

In fact, once this news was released, it drove countless melee professionals crazy.

Melee professionals also needed their own combat skills slots!

——This wasn't just sensationalism but a consensus among professionals who got the news.

The world has long suffered under the constraints of Mages.

Why do Mages get to have such fun in front of Warriors?

Why do magic spells have such destructive power?

It's not so much that a Warrior's sheer strength isn't as strong as a Mage's but rather that they are restricted by limited talents, and some powerful techniques are simply impossible for them to learn.

Without someone to lower the learning thresholds for them, they can only invest their limited growth time into limited combat skills.

Until one day, their savior appeared.

That night, Beatrice was so euphoric that she rewarded him on the ground.

"Dear, do you know how competitive the melee professionals outside have become?"

Louis, after a satisfying "meal," held the dazed-eyed Beatrice, and said helplessly:

"I've been busy with other things lately and haven't really been keeping up, but I heard Teacher Jino say that melee professionals have gone from simply trying to improve their own strength to competing with each other to avoid being 'outdone by cheats' by enemies."

Beatrice nodded and said: "It's even more dramatic than I imagined. Limuru has collected batch after batch of materials for building the Hall of Greed, but it's never enough. This situation may continue for several more months."

Beatrice laughed with delight.

No one expected that a single strategy of Louis could unite those nobles and even the top commerce associations of great nations through mutual benefits.

The Mayer Commerce Association has made a fortune, and hasn't the Ense Empire made any money?

Do you know that merchants over in the Am Empire are now all afflicted with red-eye disease, unable to bear it?

They're making just too much money!

Mentioning this, Louis also felt a great sense of achievement.

Although he's temporarily stuck at LV20 without breaking through, there's still a sense of comfort rising in his heart.

Even so...

This time the Goddess of Wealth ignored Louis's thoughts again and showered her divine favor once more.

Hmm, the target was still Louis.

This operation that resembles a no-cost deal was recognized by the Goddess of Commerce.

But Louis didn't know why his brow was twitching.

Sister! Do you know how much resentment these actions provoke?

He was still playing by the rules, but those with no regard for the rules would do anything.

He now only hopes that the Goddess of Commerce won't get confused by him, and then copy and imitate his operations, eventually causing immense resentment and anger.

Lest someday, the revered deity finds herself enjoying a streetlight 'honorary seat', becoming an Evil God.
