He ordered Bull Two to take a shower after summoning it.
It had not even gotten a weapon yet, and this fellow loved to use the horns on its head as a means of attack, causing its head to be stained with blood. If this fellow dared to lie on his sofa, Li Song would have no choice but to punish it.
At Level 8, the little one had grown to about 1.7 meters tall. It had lost some of its cute features and was growing uglier.
This was probably the price for becoming stronger…
However, food was also a problem. Although experience points could replace a portion of energy, it was impossible not to eat.
He did not have any food stored in his fridge. The lamb they had eaten yesterday was all he had.
He could only think of a way later. If it really did not work out, he could just let it eat the Rock Tossing Lizard meat.
It was not poisonous… probably.
After settling these miscellaneous matters, Li Song looked at the system.
[Resale] was a very convenient function.
At least that was what Li Song thought, but the sale price was not fair.
However, there was no such thing as a one-sided benefit. Even if there was such a good thing, it would not be available to Li Song.
Opening up the [Resale] page, it looked different from the game. There was no old man squatting and looking at him with an evil look. There was only an empty frame with a small word [Value] on it.
With a wave of his hand, the corpse of a Rock Tossing Lizard appeared.
[Value: 5 Experience Crystals]
“Wow.”
Li Song clicked his tongue. He knew that the system was unscrupulous, but he did not expect it to be so evil.
It gave so little ‘money’.
Indeed, the price given by the [Resale] function was actually in experience crystals!
The experience crystal, as the name suggested, was essentially EXP which could be used directly.
In the game, the thing that was given was something similar to gold coins that could be used as currency.
But in reality, it directly became experience points!
It was obvious what this meant.
Li Song could even see a monetary revolution that was about to happen. The wealth of the past would eventually become sacrifices under the experience crystal currency. Countless rich and famous people would be pulled down from their high positions in this change.
Of course, they would not be miserable.
In fact, [Resale] did not only purchase things like monster corpses. In other words, anything of value could be sold.
It seemed that someone had mentioned it on the forum. He had tested it with an antique passed down from his ancestors, and it was worth hundreds of experience crystals.
All of these things had their own value, be it the actual worth or spiritual value.
However, these were just Li Song’s own guesses. Shanghai might not allow such a thing to happen. The currency value of the yuan would still exist, and the experience crystals would become a supplementary existence—this was inevitable. In fact, when it came to trading certain items, only the experience crystals could be used as currency.
A country without its own monetary system was pathetic.
“I wonder if the experience I’ve gained can be stored up.”
No one in the forum had gained any experience points, so no one tried it.
“If I can, I’ll be able to solve the problem of labor. Killing monsters is equivalent to earning money.”
“Also those ‘Non-combat Players’ who are not willing to take the risk of killing can also find some means to become stronger.”
“Life has to continue. Society needs people who open restaurants, bars, and do business. Otherwise, it’s too abnormal.”
Instantly, Li Song thought of many things.
Many things became transparent in an instant. After Earth descended into this world, they could maintain some order by doing this.
He even thought of those public officials. After that, their salaries might become ‘experience crystals’ and some money. As for the law-enforcement team, they might still be stronger than ordinary people to ensure the stability of society.
“Resale.” With a thought, the corpse of the Rock Tossing Lizard disappeared.
Li Song felt some weight on his hand. A blue diamond crystal appeared in his hand. It was crystal clear and thin, with a small number “5” etched on it.
It quite resembled a monetary coin.
Next, with a thought, Li Song could sense that something went missing in his body but he could not sense where the profound feeling came from.
He looked at his interface in the system.
[Name: Li Song]
[Profession: Beast Tamer Level 8 (15/1000)]
Immediately after, the EXP decreased slightly and became (10/1000).
The number on the crystal in his hand had also changed to “6”.
“As I expected, it’s possible?”
It did not exceed Li Song’s expectations. He tried a few more times and realized that this ability was not without limitations.
1. Only excess experience from the current level could be used.
2. There was a certain proportional exchange of experience points. For now, it was five-to-one.
In other words, Li Song could only transfer his Level 8 EXP, but could not directly decrease his level.
On the other hand, the exchange rate was like a transaction fee. Moreover, the transaction fee was quite a lot. It was a full 5: 1 ratio.
Fine, he lost four experience points for nothing.
“It really doesn’t give us any loopholes…” Li Song sighed and absorbed the experience again.
The [10x EXP] he had hoped for did not happen either… If that was the case, he would be willing to call himself a perpetual motion machine…
He was clearly thinking too much.
If they could regress their levels, then as long as there were tens of thousands of people of decent levels willing to contribute, once the three-month novice protection period was over, there might be a chance for the Thunder Falcons that had been hovering in the sky to be completely wiped out for good.
Now, it seemed like it was all wishful thinking.
However, Li Song estimated that the relevant departments had already created their own “experience reserve”.
In the future, there might be professionals who would do such work to store experience points.
It would also give birth to a profession like an EXP Merchant. It could help the Beast Tamers who subdued a second beast to grow faster.
As for using experience points to create an Overlord-rank beast, that was obviously wishful thinking.
“The leveling of Tamed Beasts requires more than just experience points…” Li Song sighed in his heart. No one knew beast taming better than him!
Although it was a data-based world, these things in front of him were all living creatures. The evolution of every creature could not simply be forced with just energy.
Furthermore, in the later stages, if one wanted to advance to the Legendary stage, the EXP would be calculated by tens of millions!
Therefore, the EXP Merchant and the ability to convert EXP into experience crystals would not cause imbalances.
Just like what he had said before, this was more of an emergency use. It could also be used to nurture new Tamed Beasts and save time. However, it could only be used until the Elite-rank at most.
There was no way someone would spend hundreds of millions of experience points just to cultivate a Tamed Beast.
It would be much better if he simply regarded it as a higher value currency, like USD or Pound.
Although Li Song was not short of money, he would definitely have a lot of opportunities to use money in the future. [10x EXP] meant ten times the ability to earn money. If he counted the increase in strength, it would probably be a thousand times.
He sold all the corpses of the Rock Tossing Lizards except for one.
There was a shortage of food, and he might really have to eat it— or at least, Bull Two had to eat it. It had a good appetite.
At this moment, Bull Two also came out of the washroom. Its whole body was slightly wet. Li Song found a large set of clothes from his wardrobe for it to wear.
It was too small previously and he did not have suitable clothes for it to wear.
Who would have thought that it would grow so big overnight? It was about 1.7 meters tall, and it was perfect for it to wear clothes that were a size bigger for Li Song. It just looked a little tight…
There was a lack of understanding of the concept of beauty between humans and beasts. In the past, Bull Two was equivalent to being “naked”, but in reality, humans could not tell.
Li Song only had a sudden thought.
Moreover, there would be specialized battle robes for Bull Two and the others, but that would only appear after a certain level.
Bull Two liked the clothes very much. It ran to the mirror and looked at it for a long time. It even found a black leather jacket from Li Song’s wardrobe and put it on.
Li Song even suspected that if it moved a little more, the leather jacket would tear apart on the spot.
“Moo? Moo?”
“Handsome, so handsome!” Li Song gave it a thumbs up perfunctorily.
He did not expect that Bull Two, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, would actually be so vain.
Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
“Don’t!”
“Little White, be quiet!”
At this moment, a small figure suddenly rushed out.
The next-door neighbor on the other side of the wall let out a chaotic scream, accompanied by the sounds of objects colliding.
Clearly, Officer Zhou, who was next door, did not get along well with her Tamed Beast…
But thinking about it, it made sense. She had just summoned the Tamed Beast and had left it home for an entire night. No one would feel good about it.
From the sound of it, this Tamed Beast was a horse?
There were quite a few horse-type monsters, but it was unknown what breed this one was.
A faint smile appeared on Li Song’s face. It was quite exciting to watch someone else suffer. He immediately felt superior in comparison.
Bang!
A loud sound was heard.
Li Song’s television in the living room was smashed into pieces.
A huge hole appeared in the wall of the television that had been intact earlier. Opposite the hole was a snow-white horse, and also the embarrassed and startled Zhou Dan.
Their eyes met.
Li Song’s smile froze on his face.
