Chapter 2922: Heavy reward and preparation for showdown
————It will take about an hour~~

"Lord, I will transfer 10 gold coins to you. Have you received it?" Captain Spellbreaker asked with a little anxiety after completing the operation.
"received."
Xia Duo didn't even need to look at the balance number on his ID card and directly answered in the affirmative. As the Order Master, he could directly obtain relevant information through the power of order, and the other party did transfer him 10 gold coins.
"I'll try turning it around for you again."
With that said, Xia Duo once again stretched out his ID card, and the captain hurriedly pressed his ID card against it. Then Xia Duo transferred 10 gold coins to the other party according to the normal procedure, and then asked:
"Received yet?"
"Received, Lord Lord."
"That's good."
Xia Duo glanced at the expectant faces of everyone, and did not continue the transfer experiment with these people, but talked about other issues:
"How long have you been here?"
"It should be more than half an hour," the captain replied.
"So what do you think of this transfer method? Let's talk about the good and bad aspects. This function is still in a testing state, and your opinions are very important."
Of course, Xia Duo hopes to hear more about the bad aspects and shortcomings so that he can improve in the future. He has heard too many good aspects, and he is not short of praise from these people.
…
"The Lord has a question, so let me tell you my opinion first!" The captain looked at the companions around him and spoke first, "At the beginning, I was very worried about this method of transfer.
"After all, it is a virtual balance number, not real gold coins one by one. But as the contact time grows, I gradually realize the greatest convenience of this transfer method, which is to save space.
"We are only transferring a few hundred gold coins at most. If we use physical gold coins, we have to carry a big wallet with us. If the amount is larger, it will be even more inconvenient, and we will inevitably need a gold coin exchange voucher.
“However, gold coin exchange vouchers can only be traded in whole amounts, and there is also the inconvenience of carrying the voucher with you. Overall, this balance is more convenient now.
"As for the negative aspects——"
The captain hesitated for a moment, but out of trust in the territory and the lord, he still expressed his true thoughts, "The most fearful thing about this kind of balance figure that appears out of thin air is that it cannot be exchanged for real gold coins.
“No matter how convenient it is to use, if there is a problem with redemption once, many people may never use it again.
"Besides that, there is the balance number itself. Will this kind of number formed by magic be affected by magic in the end? If their balance number can be easily changed by a mage, I am afraid not many people will be willing to use it."
"well said!"
Xia Duo expressed his praise without hesitation, and then gave answers to the questions raised by the captain one by one, "In terms of exchanging the balance for gold coins, after this function is officially opened, the Territory Logistics Department will open a special one in the lobby of the Government Affairs Department.
The window is specially used to handle gold coin exchange transactions.
"In addition, what I want to tell you is that the source of this balance comes from me. Just now when Master Aibo transferred the money to you, his own balance was actually deducted. On my side, every time the balance increases, it will
Reserve corresponding gold coins in the Government Affairs Office. Even if everyone redeems them all, there is no need to worry about not being able to redeem them.
"Of course, this is only available after the balance function is officially opened. It is still in the testing period, and it is more about testing the function itself.
"As for the balance number that you are worried about being changed by the mage, I can tell you clearly that the display of the balance number is different from conventional spells and will not be interfered by any conventional spells.
"In addition, every change in the balance number on your ID card will leave a record with me. Even if there is a one in 10,000 chance that your balance number is abnormal, you can go to the relevant department of the Government Affairs Department to restore it at any time.
"
What Xia Duo didn't say is that although conventional spells cannot directly modify the balance, they can control the holder of the ID card to conduct transactions, but this has nothing to do with the balance function itself.
In the past, it was not uncommon for mages to confuse or coerce ordinary people to hand over their wealth, or even directly kill ordinary people to seize their wealth. This is the main reason why ordinary people have an upper limit when doing business and must seek affiliation with the Mage Tower organization.
After wealth has been accumulated to a certain level, spell casters will inevitably come to knock on the door. If there is no backend sufficient to deal with it, the wealth will be accumulated for others.
Compared with the physical currency status in the past, this virtual balance can actually prevent spellcasters from taking things by force!
All transaction records of the virtual balance are retained by the power of order. Even if a mage forces the transfer, it will inevitably be traced afterwards. As for having people exchange it for gold coins first, and then plundering it, there are too many steps in the middle, and there will still be traces left.
clue.
Of course, post-event investigation is an afterthought. In fact, the power of order can prevent problems before they occur. As long as the mental status of both parties is confirmed before the balance transfer, it is confirmed that both parties have true intentions that are not affected by the spell.
The same goes for exchanging gold coins, which can eliminate most cases of direct robbery.
This is nothing more than giving everyone the authority to use a spiritual asylum spell. Considering the actual consumption of the spiritual asylum spell, it will be forced to be used when a certain transaction amount is reached, and the trader can even be made to bear the cost.
It is difficult to quantify the cost of the Power of Order spell, but in practice, an appropriate cost can be artificially defined to achieve the sustainable development of the Power of Order.
As long as the investigation is in place, Xia Duo believes that there will not be many cases of direct robbery in the future, but rather fraud, which may become more frequent before the relevant laws are improved.
By then, maybe the first thing the territorial security officers will do every time they visit a community or a village is to carry out anti-fraud propaganda.
…
"Does anyone else have anything to say or want to know?"
"Lord, after your explanation just now, I think this virtual balance function is very complete, but I still have some questions. If possible, I hope to get your answer from the lord."
"you say!"
"If this virtual balance function becomes popular, will there be no need for physical gold coins in the future?"
"No, not to mention how long it will take to popularize this function. We have no control over other places. In order to facilitate trade with those places, physical gold coins will most likely be used."
"Then if we go to other places, do we have to exchange enough gold coins in our territory before we can go out?"
"If nothing else happens, it should be like this, but I will also consider building exchange points in other places to facilitate the Daxia citizens outside the country to exchange gold coins at any time."
This is actually the function of a bank. If it is combined with the void warehouse, it is not a problem to build such an exchange point, or even a further bank.
But this is only theoretical. Just because something is theoretically feasible does not necessarily mean it will work. Practical factors also need to be taken into consideration, such as whether the local lord agrees, etc.
