Chapter 955: On How to Fight Natural Disasters (Part 1)
For the arrival of the panda, the Grey Giant Palm Tribe expressed a strong welcome and high respect.
When the panda explained his intention and told them that he had come to persuade the bearmen tribes to unite against the Great White Calamity, they were even more ecstatic.
Then, they said that they would send messengers to help contact the various tribes of the bears. Your Excellency the Dragon Slayer just needs to wait here with peace of mind.
Panda has no objection—there are many bearmen tribes, most of which even Ivyin doesn't know the coordinates. It is very inefficient to rely on him alone to persuade door-to-door. On the contrary, according to the statement of the Grey Giant Palm Tribe, the efficiency can be improved a lot.
After supper, he lay on the hay bed covered with monster skins and opened the chat channel.
In the chat channel, "fighting against the Great White Disaster" has become the most important topic.
Except for a few indifferent traversers, most traversers are very interested in this matter. Panda and the like want to save people, Long Biao and the like are for the reward of this "world-class mission", as for biologist Mahara, necromancer Lao K and the like, they just think it's cool Very handsome, just want to do a big vote.
Perhaps the last point is more attractive to the group of "reckless crossing the earth".
Now, Liu Daoqing is speaking.
"I think we can hold a large-scale prayer ceremony to calm the cold and heat in the world. Even if we can't prevent the White Calamity from coming, at least we can avoid the cold and warm for a while - in fact, if it's just cold all the time, it's not a big problem. big, isn't it?"
The panda looked at this sentence and nodded lightly.
As Liu Daoqing said, the most terrible thing about the Great White Disaster is not the cold, but the alternation of cold and warm, which makes the snow freeze to form an ice shell, so that animals cannot graze. And the alternation of warm and cold can also easily make people sick. If it can only be cold all the time, the danger can indeed be greatly reduced.
However, Liu Daoqing's speech was refuted by Anthony, he said: "You only mentioned the benefits of praying for the sky, but did not mention its cost. To hold a ceremony that can affect the climate of the entire northern part of the Western Continent for half a year, the cost must be staggeringly large. Do we have to pay for this money out of our own pockets?"
"Why don't you pay for it yourself? You can get a lot of experience points from this ceremony. It's better to exchange money for experience points." Liu Daoqing said nonchalantly.
"It's not right! It's not right!" Lana, the prime minister of the Sea Dragon Kingdom - oh, it should be called "Sea Dragon - Seagull United Kingdom" immediately objected, "The amount of various materials in the world, especially gold coins, is limited, if you consume too much If so, it will lead to insufficiency of currency and cause great economic problems!”
"Insufficient gold coins?" Panda was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what Lana meant.
In the game, the number of gold coins is unlimited. In the later stage, players are conservatively estimated to have millions of gold coins on hand, but any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem for them, so that the transactions between players Mostly by barter - no one cares about gold coins.
However, this world is no longer a game, but a reality.
Those ordinary gold, silver and copper coins are not exploding from monsters according to the program settings, or obtained from tasks that can be refreshed without limit, but must be mined by miners, then refined, and finally cast to become one. "hard currency".
And in the magic ceremony, these gold, silver and copper coins - well, copper coins are not used, basically all gold and silver coins are consumed, and the amount consumed is still amazing. It is not uncommon for a large-scale ceremony to consume tens of thousands of gold coins.
Not only that, as the scale and level of the magic ritual increases, the consumption will also skyrocket. Panda searched with his spell knowledge, and was immediately taken aback by the consumption of the ritual that Liu Daoqing imagined.
He wasn't the only one who was startled. In the chat channel, many people were exclaiming "Damn it!", "A lot of money!", "Fish pot, I'm afraid this is really not good..." and so on.
Even the chairman San Yu was disturbed. He said, "Liu Daoqing, it's not that I'm stingy, but we have so much wealth, and we smash all the rituals out. What if we need money again after two years?"
"Yeah, your ritual is obviously not cost-effective, and the waste is too serious! If it weren't for the fact that there were too few legendary powerhouses in the world and so many gold coins, we could all hire a large number of legendary powerhouses to jointly cast spells - not only is it cheaper than your method. A lot, and you can also accumulate favors!"
Being so criticized by everyone, Liu Daoqing wasn't annoyed, but he just touched his nose and didn't mention it again.
After finishing the chat, he said to his wife: "Sure enough, the plan to hold a prayer ceremony was rejected."
"It's the same for me. As you often say, the input and output are completely disproportionate." Queen Katarina smiled, "The Great White Calamity is indeed tragic, but it is definitely not the only way you can use it. Since It is not a situation of helplessness, of course, everyone will give priority to the means that cost less."
Liu Daoqing nodded, but sighed again.
"I was thinking that after the great altar is built, there will definitely be a ceremony to consecrate the sky. But... I have never presided over such a large-scale ceremony. I want to take the opportunity to gain some experience. But I didn't expect it. It's so hard to gain a little experience..."
"The price of your experience is too high, let's forget it." Katerina shook her head, "Actually, it doesn't matter if the great altar is not consecrated. Anyway, according to what you said, the 'God of Yellow Heaven' is the **** of the Eastern Continent. It's impossible to have the ability to influence our side. There's no point in wasting it."
"If you can consecrate the great altar, you can link faith and national destiny, and artificially create a spellcasting system of 'Yellow Sky Faith'. This is equivalent to creating a group of absolutely loyal and reliable priests for Ai Lanz, which is due to It's a good thing for the present in Qianqiu!"
Katerina shook her head more and more: "Husband, you are so wrong! Although the clergy are idealists, they are not stupid! If you do this, I am afraid that the Kingdom of Alanz will not have to think about it." Qianqiu', and it will be 'immortal' directly, okay..."
As a loyal member of the Mangchuan Earth board game group, Katarina participates in at least five or six running groups every year. Over the years, she has learned a lot of Earth-style words. Words like "Immortal" come in handy.
And the way she thinks about things is gradually being influenced by the transmigrators—for example, some time ago, she issued a decree that if there are nobles in the Kingdom of Ellants who do not have sons, only daughters can inherit titles and territories. They will come forward to protect their territory and inheritance rights, and strictly prevent the practice of taking territories by means of marriage.
This decree obviously does not conform to the "rules" of the Western Continent's aristocratic system, and was learned from the travelers. But when she issued this decree, she received strong support from a large number of small and medium nobles.
No one can guarantee the birth of children. The use of marriage to seize titles and territories is commonplace, and it happens more than once every year. The king can order to protect his daughter's inheritance rights and severely crack down on the behavior of "marriage swallowing land", and they welcome it before it's too late!
