2000 years after the demise of mankind, help arrives

"Colorless and odorless."

"Not dirty, not clean."

"No birth, no death."

"Colorless sound, fragrance and touch method!"

These few words are the essence of what the ascetics of the Four Gods Sect have learned throughout their lives.

One of the most extreme forms of asceticism requires you to close your senses of sight, smell, taste, and hearing, and only use your sixth sense and touch.

The more senses you seal, the stronger it becomes!

The simpler your way of experiencing the world, the purer your mind, and the easier it is to cause fluctuations in the etheric sea.

It is said that the star worms of the fifth-level mythical species are one of the simplest and most powerful fantasy species on this planet.

Ender, who actually witnessed Pallu's birth, agreed with this.

He also believed that he could, like many predecessors of the Ascetic Sect, refine and purify his mind to the limit and abandon all distracting thoughts to complete his extraordinary path.

Until today, he met the golden-haired and jade-faced nine-tailed fox from the Wa Palace in Taixuan Tianyu.

All restraints and prohibitions are falling apart.

He was originally just curious about whether the crystal jewelry sold at this temporary stall had the smell of star worms, but he fell into it step by step, and finally spent all his savings in it.

"Hello, Priest Ender."

"This piece of jewelry made by this little lady is a perfect match for you."

"The remaining crystals can still make two pieces of jewelry, so let's start making them."

After giving Ande the little fox jewelry that she picked up for free, Mei Ying smiled and her eyes moved, making countless innocent young girls around her feel excited.

"One hundred thousand, I will pay one hundred thousand gold to reserve the next one!"

"Wait, wait, I'm going to sell the house right now!"

"Miss Mei Ying, will you come back to set up a stall tomorrow? Will you still be in this position?"

"Miss Mei Ying, I love you and I am willing to give everything I have!"

"Here we are, 99 worm roses, all of them top quality!"

Mei Ying's smile can dazzle a country!

"Oh, it really costs everyone money."

"Then, the little lady will sing a song for everyone to repay everyone's enthusiasm."

The fox's tail wagged, and the oriole sang while processing the rough crystal stones.

"La... la la la la."

The soft and brisk melody is like a girl humming and walking in a field full of flowers.

Raise your head, look up at the stars, and imagine the distant future.

"What's on the other side of the horizon?"

"This world is so beautiful, but full of mistakes."

“I love the four seasons, every season.”

"Spring belongs to our family. We pray that we can understand each other and help each other so that everyone can get rid of the scars of the past and stand up bravely."

"As long as I reach out my hand, someone will always hold my wrist to keep me from losing my way. As long as I say it sincerely, I will definitely find happiness."

"Summer is my time with you. Take me to the beach and leave footprints one after another. Let me get rid of my fate and no longer be sad alone."

"Even if I still have wounds on my body, as long as you are still by my side, I will definitely be able to fly again."

"Autumn is the time when I am lonely and wait for you. In the constantly rotating maze, I become the princess in the fairy tale, waiting for your arrival."

“Even if it’s very lonely, this is an important season for us.”

"Winter is the day when the eternal snowflakes fall. This season can give birth to all miracles."

"Because of you, winter can become warmer and the four seasons can reincarnate."

"Four seasons, loved by you in every season."

"In the past, present, and future, you are the only one who will not change."

"La la la, I'm here to pray for you and send you the blessings of the seasons and time."

The lyrics of the second song emerged naturally from Meilu's biochip.

Like the song "Summer Flower Journey", it is the melody and rhythm of a Two-dimensional singer from the AD era.

So soft it feels like it's trying to get your ears pregnant, whispering softly.

It is a melody that could no longer be written in the year 2000 of the Ancient Gods. It is a rhythm that praises love and the seasons.

Summer Flower Journey describes the story of a girl in the sky who changes the world for you.

Song of the Four Seasons celebrates the fact that the girl holding hands with you creates the story of the four seasons for you.

Time flows and changes occur.

Only love is eternal.

There is no witch and no night party, just a girl transformed into a nine-tailed fox with golden hair and jade face singing for you.

The song was obviously sung for you, but it didn't reach you.

There was only such a small distance, but you didn't hear it.

This undeliverable song is just like me and you.

The distance between us is farther than light years and wider than the universe.

The waiting time seemed like an eternity in a moment.

Whether joy or sadness, they are like gentle snow, accumulated bit by bit, with soft warmth.

May this moment last forever.

…………

On the second floor, sweating profusely, Sli took out from his arms the foundation of the Slime clan in the Era of Ancient Gods—a gold promissory note corresponding to the absolute gold standard.

"What's above is the key. Guest, all your gold can be stored in our Slime Gold Bank."

"No matter which underground black market, as long as you find a merchant from our slime family, you can [-]% take it out."

"This is the reputation that our slime family protects with our lives!"

Chapter 7 Fake Gold (4K please vote)

"Our slime family has never made any mistakes since we started this gold storage business."

"We can guarantee that the gold that customers exchange for gold promissory notes is definitely real spot gold, not the paper gold that is faked in government banks."

“Paper gold??”

Mei Lu seemed to have heard some extraordinary words.

"It's the kind of gold that the government uses as a credit guarantee. It's just fake gold."

“The classical gold standard monetary system existed in name only a long time ago.”

Sly looked at Mei Lu strangely. The gold standard was dead. Isn't this common knowledge in the underground black market?

On the surface, the central banks of all the major abyssal governments are issuing currencies known as the gold standard. In fact, the exchange ratio of one gold coin for ten grams of gold has long been a huge financial joke.

One gold coin can be exchanged for ten grams of gold. This ratio could only be achieved in the early days of the Ancient God Era when there was still real gold in the gold coins.

The gold coins of that period were real gold coins, hard currency that could not be harder.

The descendants of the ancient gods who emerged from the underground imitated the classical currency system established by books from the Lost Era.

But soon, the classical gold standard monetary system collapsed.

The gold coins issued by the government now contain not even a speck of gold.

If you really want to take it to the bank to exchange for gold, you can only exchange it for "paper gold" endorsed by the government's credit.

To be more precise, real gold ceased to circulate freely more than 1000 years ago.

Decreasing reserves and scarcity have made gold an extraordinary precious metal that is not allowed to circulate.

The paper gold in the government bank is just a better-looking credit currency. Merchants in the underground black market do not use that transaction at all.

As long as it is a credit currency rather than a gold coin anchored to real gold, it will inevitably be issued indiscriminately.

Inflation is a big weapon used to harvest civilians. Your property is always depreciating, and there is nothing you can do.

This is the same no matter which abyssal government it is.

Taking the currency of the Seventh Abyss as an example, in just a few decades, the inflation rate has been an astonishing number every year.

Twenty years ago, ten thousand gold could buy a house in the best area of ​​Luolin City in the Seventh Abyss.

Twenty years later, ten thousand gold will not even be enough to buy a toilet.

"We, the slime family, have long given up on the trading of currency gold, and now we only do spot gold business."

"Paper gold and spot gold are no longer the same currency."

"Just a joke, the gold bars exchanged from the bank will rust."

That's an old joke with a lot of history.

In the year 2000 of the Ancient God Era, underground black market merchants simply ignored the gold coins issued by the government that were inflated every year.

As long as transactions involving "rare and extraordinary materials" are concerned, the kind of paper gold issued by the government is useless paper, and no one is willing to use this kind of currency to trade.

gold!

Real gold!

Proof of the supernova explosion of the universe, a great metal symbolizing eternity.

The priests of the Four Gods Sect need gold to make sacrifices.

Gold is needed to build various types of powerful equipment.

Various potions of the extraordinary path also require gold.

It is wishful thinking to exchange the paper gold issued by your government for real gold!

Real spot gold and government-issued paper gold are not currencies of the same system at all.

Mei Lu's eyes were opened again. The settlement currency of the emotional underground black market was not gold coins issued by the government at all!

The spot gold in the Ancient God Era is far more precious and rare than Mei Lu imagined!

Mei Lu could not learn this knowledge at all in the library of Luolin City. The government did not allow books to teach these things.

“Government paper gold lost credibility long ago.

"That kind of paper gold is anchored by... food..."

At this point, Sly sighed.

"In other words, the slime jelly corresponding to one year of Slime Ranch."

Yes, the paper gold issued by the government is a "food"-based credit currency anchored to one year of slime.

The slime family was "food" most of the time in the Era of Ancient Gods.

Only mutated slimes like Stone and Sly who own a chain of dimensional warehouses can have a place in the black market.

Those wild slimes that have not awakened their special talents and wisdom will be eaten casually.

Slime farming is the basis of agriculture in the Age of Ancient Gods.

The reason why the inflation of credit currency paper gold does not seem that exaggerated is entirely because the government is squeezing the output of the Slime Ranch, which is a forced exploitation of the Slime family.

Want gold, no.

If you want to eat slime, no problem.

The status of the slime family has become even lower due to the tacit inflationary behavior of the major abyss governments.
