For ordinary people, this means that the empire's omnipresent tax payment system has become extremely efficient and cruel, and tax evasion is naturally impossible. There are all kinds of strange things, and endless taxes and fees can be directly transferred from the account, and a half-second delay does not exist.

For cultivators, especially those who are ambitious and want to climb up by any means, this means that their complete set of cultivation plans are exposed to the sun - or even more terrible, exposed to the noses of those who are jealous of the wise and jealous of the abilities and do not want them to become stronger.

Cultivation requires consuming resources, and the purchase of resources will leave various traces on the spiritual network. Then, as long as you master the purchase records and the flow of funds, you will naturally be able to easily grasp the realm of an immortal cultivator and the recent cultivation status.

For the vested interest class, those high-ranking leaders who control major sects and families, that is, the so-called powerful people, do not want to see ambitious poor boys or low-level cultivators climbing up.

Then, as long as you discover the abnormal changes in the account of a low-level immortal cultivator and then track down the resources he has purchased recently, you will know that he is undergoing some kind of cultivation and is even preparing to make some key breakthrough.

At a critical moment, it is easy to move your hands and feet a little and trip a few times.

Even if low-level cultivators do not want to rely on the power of their families, but go out to secretly take private jobs and become mercenaries and killers to make money to practice, as long as the money is imperial crystal coins and transfer money through the spirit network, they will still be discovered by the family - the heads and minds of the family and sects, and some can buy secret transfer records from the black market, thus strangling the necks of low-level cultivators.

In a nutshell, under this Lingwang currency trading system, the vested interest class firmly controls the lifeblood of money, and the class solidification becomes more serious, and the upward channel is completely blocked. Low-level cultivators have no freedom to grow wildly. If you want to become stronger, you can only be a way to be a dog for high-level cultivators.

Of course, there are many immortal cultivators who don’t mind being dogs for the strong.

But more immortal cultivators who are unruly, ambitious, want to roam all over the world and dominate the world will never be willing to bow down for the rest of their lives or be strangled to their throats for the rest of their lives!

Ordinary people may be able to endure the pain of being exploited by immortals for eternity, and even if they want to make sounds, they will not have the power.

But the dissatisfaction of hundreds of millions of low-level cultivators with the status quo will inevitably affect the entire empire!

They are immortal cultivators. They are born to be superiors, to rule the world, to conquer the universe, rather than being dogs for people all their lives!

Low-level immortal cultivators have never been so strongly eager for power, and if they want to gain more powerful power, they need money - real money, the currency that truly belongs to them is by no means a straw paper that is closely monitored in every transaction link!

They desire such a currency - first of all, it needs to have a relatively stable currency value, not that it cannot be diluted, but at least it must have a limit. It must be slowly diluted with economic growth, rather than being printed like the imperial crystal currency, which is like being diluted by the four major families. The money to buy a chicken today is enough to buy an egg tomorrow.

Second, more importantly, this currency must have untraceable and unmonitorable characteristics, so that they can trade resources without realizing their knowledge, grow wildly and develop vulgarly under the eyes of high-level cultivators, and ultimately challenge the authority of high-level cultivators.

Wherever there is oppression, there is resistance, and where there is demand, there will inevitably be corresponding products.

Relying on the strong demand of thousands of low-level immortal cultivators, the "free star coins" came into being.

Free Star Coin is not a currency in the traditional sense. It was originally just a joke-like virtual currency. It was born in Jingnai and Lingwang, a new decentralized, point-to-point transaction algorithm.

Free Star Coin does not have all the characteristics of traditional currency. It does not even rely on any currency issuing agency to issue it. Instead, it is generated through an extremely special algorithm to mine the potential of a large number of super crystal brains distributed throughout the empire, use the scattered database on various spiritual network nodes to mark and store transaction records, and ensure its absolute security through innate algorithm design advantages and multiple cryptographic features.

Li Yao is not an economics student, and he knows even more about virtual currencies, so he doesn't understand the essence of free star coins. Perhaps it can be said that - free star coins are actually a virtual anonymous ledger that records all the transaction behaviors of users, but such a ledger is a book that all users of the entire empire have and can update data synchronously.

In this way, no spiritual network intruder can tamper with the transaction data of the Free Star Coin, and the security is extremely high.

Moreover, the Free Star Coin is not issued by any bank, but it relies on tapping the potential of all super crystal brains in the empire to "create".

For a certain period of time, the potential of the super crystal brain is constant, so the number of free star coins is also constant, and its "currency value" can be guaranteed to be stable.

What if the potential of super crystal brain's exploration has been greatly improved?

That means that the number of super crystal brains has increased and the performance has become stronger. Modern civilization is largely a crystal brain civilization. The upgrade of super crystal brains means economic development, and the increase of free star coins is completely fine - it is simply perfect!

Of course, from free star coins to real currency, there is still a natural barrier, and a pair of wings is needed to complete the most thrilling leap - that is credit.

Currency is credit, and currency without credit is no different from game coins in virtual games.

The original Free Star Coin was just a concept created by a group of star pirates in the empire's outer world, and was very bored.

The purpose of creation is to act as a small account book for black market transactions between star pirates, with the purpose of avoiding the attacks on star pirates by the imperial authorities.

It relies on the force of the star pirates as credit, so it has no value outside the star pirate circle.

However, don’t forget that in the outer world of the empire, the so-called “star pirates” are actually synonymous with “private fleets”. Most powerful large star pirate groups are just warlords who have changed their bodies.

When the free star coins spread among the various star pirate groups, they immediately entered the sight of warlords and local snakes around the world outside the empire.

The core world of the empire is extremely cruel to the external world. Various industrial products are dumped and sheared, and the lifeblood of these warlords and local snakes is almost cut off. But their entire economic system was based on the "Imperial Crystal Coins". It is really a copper coin that can't be hidden. Want to hide your strength and preserve your strength? It's just a dream!

The emergence of the Free Star Coin gave these warlords and local snakes hope. With their intentional or unintentional indulgence and even instigation, the Free Star Coin quickly became one of the main trading methods for the black market transactions in the outer world of the empire, and it also gained new credit, which is the guarantee that the warlords and local snakes poked out with guns.

Even so, the newly born Free Star Coin is still like a baby in a cradle, extremely fragile and helpless, and can be strangled with a slight pinch.

But at this time, another serious economic crisis occurred within the empire, exactly one hundred years ago.

The empire a hundred years ago suffered an unprecedented defeat on the front line. The Black Wind Fleet, known as the "strongest border guard", was defeated like a mountain. The entire five highly militarized heavy industrial worlds fell into the hands of the Holy Alliance, and the troops of the Holy Alliance pointed directly at the hinterland of the empire.

For a moment, demonic winds blew everywhere and people were in panic, as if a catastrophe had come.

But the damn Black Wind Fleet was going on and knew that after the defeat, the court would not let them go. So they gathered a group of defeated soldiers and swam around the empire's heart all day long, clamoring to "acquit the previous shame" and help the empire conquer the wild world on the border of the Star Sea to atone for their sins. Of course, "the emperor did not send hungry soldiers", the court also had to pay them a large amount of high pensions and excretion fees.

Seeing that they looked like a scoundrel, they looked like the imperial court did not give them money, so they surrendered to the Holy Alliance, and cooperated with each other and everyone died together.

The emperor at that time was weak and the four major families were uncoherent. He even pinched his nose and agreed to the Black Wind Fleet's threat and took out a lot of money to appease the defeated soldiers.

As a result, the defeated soldier received a high pension and excretion fee, patted his butt and left. After a hundred years, he ran to the border of Xinghai to find Xingyao Federation to die.

This is not to mention later. Just say that at that time, "Liaohai Marquis" Lei Chenghu stepped forward and turned the tide, finally resisting the rampant attack of the Holy Alliance. However, the empire was once again seriously injured. All military expenditures, pensions, and dispatch fees were astronomical. There was also a chain reaction in the financial market that lost five great worlds in a row... It would be strange if there was no economic crisis!

This economic crisis led to the fall of the cabinet of the then Imperial Prime Minister, Li Jiande, and completely wiped out the last little credit of the Imperial Crystal Coin.

Now, the credit of the Free Star Coin is approximately equal to zero, but the currency value is stable and can be traded freely and will never be monitored.

The credit of the Empire Crystal Coin is also about zero, but it will depreciate wildly at any time and will be firmly monitored by people.

All fools know who to choose!

It is related to money, and businessmen always have the keenest sense of smell.

Just when the Black Wind Fleet on the front line was defeated, the Wanjie Business Alliance, which was also in a secret development state, predicted the arrival of the economic crisis. Don’t forget that even Di Feiwen, the deputy commander of the Black Wind Fleet, was a member of the Wanjie Business Alliance. Even the Black Wind Fleet’s quarrels against the court may not have nothing to do with the Wanjie Business Alliance.

On the one hand, the Wanjie Merchant Alliance helped the Black Wind Fleet to knock on the court's robbery through Di Feiwen and others, which partially promoted the outbreak of the economic crisis and weakened the power of the core area of ​​the empire. On the other hand, it took a desperate bet and bet on the Free Star Coin!
