Chapter 956 211: The Death Warrant of the Territory_2
[Attribute: Territorial Item]
[Lu Wenbo was a powerful wizard who vanished long ago in the river of history, renowned for his unparalleled wealth and magical knowledge. It is said that he created this magical semi-divine artifact to store his immense fortune, allowing anyone to invest wealth in it to gain his vast mana.]
[Knowledge is wealth, and vice versa!]
[Trait 1 Skillful in Financial Management: The territory can store wealth in this building and earn 0.035% yield per cycle.]
[Trait 2 Door to Wealth: Through the special Door to Wealth, one can invest wealth inside to gain abilities that enhance their combat power.]
[Trait 3 Wizard Enslavement: All units within the territorial influence can be captured through resource investment, forcing the opponent to become one's soldiers.]
[Trait 4 Divine Inspiration: Anyone investing more than 100 Spirit Crystal Coins in this place will gain a chance for enlightenment, obtaining opportunities for wealth or power growth. (Note: Lu Wenbo and the territory will split the Spirit Crystal Coins 90-10)]
[Price: 20 billion Spirit Crystal Coins!]
20 billion Spirit Crystal Coins is an extremely large sum for Lin Rui's current wealth.
Currently, Lin Rui cannot bring out such a fortune.
Yet he specifically needs to gather this wealth to buy the [Semi-Divine Artifact: Lu Wenbo's Secret Place of Enormous Wealth].
Because it's simply a multiplier for territorial wealth.
It can help the territory uncover all hidden treasures, secrets, and opportunities within its scope.
Under Divine Inspiration, the territory's residents, Explorers, and Soldiers can gain various chances, going to hidden caves, groves, cellars, and even Underground Cities to find wealth, items, and power-enhancing treasures.
This effect seems weak, but with territorial expansion, it's practically a Divine Skill!
It equals everyone gaining a golden finger, the system tells them where to go, how many miles, turn left/right a few steps, and they'll encounter a Treasure Chest or pick up a relic gem.
Crucially, if you invest enough Spirit Crystal Coins, it might even inspire you about the time and place to encounter an injured wild species, or even tell you the weak point of a Giant Dragon, and where to obtain a weapon to slay it.
This immediately grants almost all territory members a protagonist template.
Of course, this is a simplified version, or a Krypton Gold version of cheat codes.
To desire any opportunity, you must first invest money into this golden finger to activate it.
However, as Lin Rui knows, it seems some golden fingers aren't free either, requiring sufficient resource points or enough money to activate once.
Only this way can one continuously become stronger, gaining greater opportunities.
From this perspective, Trait 4 Divine Inspiration isn't just a simplified version; instead, it's the complete form of the golden finger.
Moreover, the ability of this Divine Artifact isn't limited to once.
For Lin Rui, its ability is more important as it can allocate wealth to him!
Others invest to become stronger, while he gains wealth from them.
The profit split is quite unfair, Lu Wenbo gets nine parts and he receives one.
Lin Rui furrowed his brows, examining this item carefully, calculating in his mind.
He is calculating the data of [Skillful in Financial Management].
A yield of 0.035% per cycle, does this number seem a bit low?
Actually, converting it to an annual interest rate isn't insignificant, the annualized rate is 1.82%.
In banks, earning 1.82% annualized interest for live savings or small investments is quite remarkable.
With this number, one can roughly assess that Lu Wenbo's Secret Place of Enormous Wealth is a very legitimate business entity.
It's not as if money will be squandered away upon deposit.
Everything is a conventional commercial transaction.
If no one exploits loopholes.
What will 1.82% compound interest result in?
Many perhaps haven't considered.
It's ludicrous to discuss inflation with family wealth of ten million or compound interest with a monthly salary of three thousand.
That's because the compound interest isn't enduring long-term in the time dimension.
Time is the most formidable weapon in the world; anything, any attribute, once supplemented by time's dimension, will refresh everyone's cognition.
Investing 100 billion Spirit Crystal Coins, the ten-year compound interest is 19.765 billion.
Seems negligible.
It merely offsets the cost of acquiring this item, still requiring one thousand billion Spirit Crystal Coins invested.
But stretching the time dimension to 100 years, the interest reaches 5,071.69 billion!
More than five times the principal!
In normal transactions, within 100 years, Lu Wenbo's Secret Place of Enormous Wealth possibly yields far above this 5,071.69 billion.
But if this 100 years is as brief as a snap?
It equals the Golden Pansy Domain obtaining unlimited wealth from this item.
If you have enough money, it's more than enough to buy out a Giant Dragon's dignity!
Isn't he looking to get stronger? It can even allow blood donation while enhancing power through investorship.
This item's significant function is direct investment to enhance soldier strength.
Investment to enhance soldiers' combat power is vital for addressing another pressing territorial issue.
[War Machine : Taboo Object of the Mechanicum: STC005 : Dark Angel]
[Trait: Legendary-level Machine Spirit: Hymn of the Fallen Dark Angel: The Darkened Angel tunes the crescent lyre, playing a mournful melody. Heeding the call from the darkness, dancing to the rhythm of sin. Angels born from the shadows, destined for darkness. Fallen at the dark pillar, reversing fate, arousing the wrath of the blackened angel. Darkness is the source of truth, banish the light, indulge in fall. The Dark Angel descends gracefully under dark protection, causing heaven and earth to tremble, all life stained in dark shades. Biologics of the Dark Angel unlock the blackened panel: Dark Angels.]
[Forbidden Trait 1: Forbidden Guillotine: After battle ends, the blackened will exit the Dark Angel template, immediately being assassinated by a Dark Angel with the same trait, dragged into the [Dark Road of No Return], Life Value Limit -50%, recovery effects disabled, unable to defeat the Dark Angel, will face the guillotine. Defeating the Dark Angel returns to reality, recovering status.]
[Forbidden Trait 2: Dark Despair Anthem: Each cycle, 120 Rare Level talent or above territorial soldiers must enter the Dark Angel, otherwise all soldiers unlocking the Dark Angel panel will face indiscriminate execution by [Forbidden Guillotine]. Then randomly forcibly engage territorial civilians into the Dark Angel, replenishing the deficit.]
[Legendary Trait: Subspace Scale: Each cycle, warship scale +1 (length +220 m, height, width, unit equipment and maintenance costs adaptively corrected).]
[Mechanical Prayer: Mechanism Omnipotence: May your gears never rust, your soul eternally solid. May your being never fade, forever residing in our memories. Soldiers returning from [Dark Road of No Return], Life Value Limit +5% (effective once per cycle, multiple times invalid).]
[Exorcism Scripture: Mechanical Power: By your mechanical pure light, expel darkness and evil from this entity. Use your armor power to protect us from evil spirits' invasion, expelling them from the mechanical pure zone. The Dark Angels assassinating soldiers in [Dark Road of No Return] randomly get purified of one trait, while soldiers dragged into [Dark Road] obtain adaptive armor, gain a spiritual shield with 20% of current Life Value.]
This cycle effect will be influenced by territory traits!
Meaning, each time Lin Rui activates the historically significant trait, a regiment of Rare Level soldier or above is required to be added into the warship!
This is an absolute priority, and this taboo must be satisfied.
Otherwise, all soldiers unlocking the Dark Angel panel will face indiscriminate execution by [Forbidden Guillotine]. Then randomly forcibly engage territorial civilians into the Dark Angel, replenishing the deficit!
