"...My bank, liquidity, and total assets should also have an upper limit."
After the sale, Lu Ping’an inadvertently tried to reveal this potential rule.
Perhaps the bank’s buying price is only because it is the limit of its liquidity, and its selling price of fifty thousand may not actually be the "real" actual valuation.
After all, in the end, it is still an "inheritance" and cannot exceed the total amount of "life" of the big cat back then.
In that case, the total amount of life-points it can issue and circulate is actually limited... Now it is just a rule-level (Gold-tier) "rule building", not a real Earthly Divine Kingdom (God-level).
"Maybe it will increase as I get promoted.... But now, I’m afraid it doesn’t make much sense to the rule-level big shots."
Lu Ping’an was pondering and focused his attention on how to make money quickly... ahem, how to quickly earn life-points.
In these days, he was too happy to burn points, and after quickly eating up one profession by profession, he wasted hundreds and hundreds of points.
In fact, he had already burned more than thirteen professions... But now, he was like a man possessed, craving for more.
He actively sought the "profession" he needed, disassembled, understood, and copied it, but in the end, he sighed helplessly and chose to give up.
"...We need more Decree-level professionals."
But it’s a pity that although there are more and more professionals, their purchasing power is still not strong enough.
Most of them have only a few hundred points to sell their "careers", and it’s natural for them to hold their coins and watch... The hindrance to their consumption is not just "lack of money", but "not knowing how to spend it".
Libraries can acquire professions... but the exaggerated price of custom professions is simply unaffordable for most people, and since they are still quite high in tier, customizing "fifth-tier" or higher professions may not have enough "materials" and "knowledge" for the library.
Just to smash a fourth-tier? For those fourth and fifth-tier professionals, it’s a loss, and they are waiting for their points to "change their fate against the heavens".
Third-tier may have a desire, but third-tier can’t come up with points, can’t gather enough materials, and can’t even get a ticket to enter.
Obviously, the market in the courtyard is not prosperous enough, and the "products" in the library are not enough to satisfy the high-end market.
Of course, just trading and exchanging "knowledge" is quite valuable, but on the one hand, most people do not have a Scholar profession, more of them are still the old issue.
"...With so few points, purchasing ’knowledge’ is too extravagant, and professionals’ time and resources are precious. They must be used to advance their tiers or improve their combat power."
Moreover, the "profession" packaging in the library is likely to fail. You have to meet the requirements to "read" it, and then you may still end up with a "big failure".
If a complete investment failure happens to all your belongings, an explosion of mentality is inevitable.
Probably, they must wait until the library is packed enough that everyone can customize their own profession, and then they will consume without hesitation.
Now, they naturally squat in the "Trading Hall".
"...Does this professional ability have a 70% compatibility? You can take a gamble. Even if you fail, you will be closer to the essence of that profession’s abnormal ability, and the chances of enlightenment will be high."
Several deals have been made on the trading column with the "old stager" introducing his own experience.
The appearance of the library did not make the Trading Hall and the trading column unemployed; they were not originally on the same track.
The trading column deals with "life-related substances", while the library can acquire "taboo knowledge".
It’s just that the most popular thing on the trading column now is still the "Talent Abilities".
Being able to steadily acquire a professional Abnormal Ability is already a huge gain. Many people have been bottlenecked for countless years, and some people can’t even awaken a specific professional Abnormal Ability. They don’t even know where they are lacking.
The lack of intelligence has always been frustrating, and the fact that the trading column can display the characteristics of the user’s "held items (professional skills, etc.)" also makes it the largest population gathering place in the courtyard.
Every day, people try to take advantage of leaks here. In many cases, it’s even arranged outside the venue, and then the transaction is made inside... The courtyard doesn’t care about this aspect. All that matters is that the "weight" of both transactions is roughly equal.
But their progress is still slow, not everyone is willing to sell their "Abnormal Abilities", nor does everyone have the luck to come across the urgently needed Abnormal Abilities they need.
In most cases, many people put out the sign to buy XX, but no one pays attention... If you think it’s a good thing, so do others with a high probability.
The past scene is replayed again. Many people watch, but few buy... However, it still attracts countless Informed-people to squat here every day, not even wanting to do Exotic Realm development.
"Do you need the support of an ’Intelligence Agent’?"
At this time, a person wearing a "white pigeon" mask approached.
Intelligence Agent, a very special profession that is not actually a "profession" at all.
It is basically a Rule System professional who gains relevant intelligence through the "rule analysis" of others, such as Lu Ping’an’s Panel-like indicators.
An excellent Intelligence Agent can point out the way for professionals, which is very important, but...
"...I’m not a newcomer. I probably don’t need it."
"White Pigeon" had already gained some fame in this small circle, so the fourth-tier professional he was selling to could only politely refuse.
In fact, Intelligence Agents were often more important to newcomers because rookies not only needed "data" but also professional advice on their career paths.
The fourth-tier professional in front of him probably had a familiar "professional analyst" in his hometown, usually a super-experienced old stager.
"...You’re ’Yun Ren,’ right? A sound-wave-based battle-profession, quite rare. If I’m not mistaken, you’re worrying about your future path, as your main path has reached a bottleneck, and your ’instrument’ is not enough to bear your abilities ..."
The target Lu Ping’an found was the same person he had analyzed the "Decree" for. He knew the abilities of this person perhaps better than they did themselves.
With the conversation going this far, "Yun Ren" couldn’t sit still and hurriedly took "White Pigeon" aside for a quiet conversation.
"...I’ve said what I can say, and if I go on, I must charge. You should know the rules of contract trading here: we must trade equally. My flat-rate is one hundred points, providing you with the most essential information ..."
What kind of information is worth one hundred points? "Yun Ren" was initially stunned, then gritted his teeth and nodded heavily.
This magical place was so outrageous that even professions and abnormal abilities could be traded. And this "White Pigeon" seemed to be an old stager here, perhaps with some divine powers.
He was sure that the fundamental rule of trading was that the trading chips must be equal; as long as he signed the contract, he wouldn’t be cheated.
"First, sign the confidentiality agreement."
After the contract was completed, Lu Ping’an didn’t reveal the information directly but instead slapped him.
"You heard the Sound of Rules when the abnormal ability was activated, right? Work hard today, bring out all your abilities. I need more information to help you complete the analysis."
"Investing in abnormal abilities?! You are Lu ..."
Lu Ping’an waved the confidentiality agreement in his hand, signaling him to be quiet.
"Tsk, is this the trouble with having a little fame? Everyone knows my talent abilities."
Lu Ping’an’s current level of fame in this camp and this world was not just a little.
At this moment, the trader had faith in the mysterious Intelligence Agent in front of him.
Having his identity exposed, Lu Ping’an remained calm... Having the confidentiality agreement was one thing, but he also knew that he could no longer hide from the Informed-person.
Lu Ping’an simply brought out the prepared contracts.
"Two contracts, both for equal trade. One providing you with information worth one hundred points, the other allowing me to give you information first and then charge according to the situation, uh, the ’Conscience Contract.’
"Conscience Contract."
It wasn’t about "saving money." As a fourth-tier professional, of course, he knew how much of a trap the Conscience Contract was.
But he valued his life-points more and trusted the masked man in front of him.
"Alright, you go back, practice more, even to the point of exhaustion. The more information I have, the better I can help you make decisions..."
With that, Lu Ping’an went to find his next target.
There were only three slots, all given to those who had purchased his Decree analysis.
Probably no other Intelligence Agent could thoroughly understand a customer’s "profession" and "specific situation."
With Lu Ping’an and Big Cat’s current perspectives, under the help of the Taboo Library, they could harvest specific information by "investing," making them the top Intelligence Agents of this world.
During this process, the forming "Lawyer" profession would complete its analysis and grow rapidly.
Lu Ping’an’s proactive sales approach went exceptionally smoothly.
Three targets, all agreed without hesitation, and all used the deadly "Conscience Contract."
"Should I say they trust me? Uh, then I should hurry up and trap more...Chris, you have to work hard! They’re all counting on you!"
𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"...Can’t you be a decent person, Lu Ping’an?"
So the next day, the unscrupulous Lu Ping’an didn’t earn three hundred points but more than five hundred!
Ironically, the "victims" he "scammed" were overjoyed, and they even took the initiative to introduce new customers to him.
