Chapter 685 - 209: Flow of Wealth (Part 2)
The strong target that absorbs spiritual power cannot siphon spiritual power, and the weak target that absorbs spiritual power cannot siphon much.
Activating the Suction Feature also consumes spiritual power.
It’s easy to end up in a situation where spiritual power consumption exceeds spiritual power recovery.
Secondly, it occupies a precious Star Vein Slot position, but cannot provide effective output.
However, it can be anticipated that in the future, this will be a late-stage Life Soul whose strength will increase continuously as the Star Vein Level rises.
Forum players have built a large number of powerful factions centered on "Siphon".
Among them, some players mentioned that if you can’t absorb from the enemy, then absorb from teammates.
Have teammates act as a power bank nearby, drinking Spiritual Recovery Potions, while you siphon the teammates’ spiritual power to quickly restore your state and continue output.
This proposal even received a like and reward from the "Divine King".
Originally, it was just a way to mess around for fun; the player who posted the idea on the forum never intended for it to be used in actual combat.
However, in the eyes of the Divine King, this fun strategy became an effective tactic for significantly improving one’s command ability.
Every time he conducts war command, he needs to prepare a Space Bag full of Spiritual Recovery Potions.
Constantly drinking potions would also affect his command efficiency.
But with the Siphon Soul, it’s different. Having a power bank nearby can save the step of drinking potions and allow full concentration on commanding the Player Corps in battle.
The Star Vein Combination with the highest likes on the forum is: Binding, Siphon, Energy Absorption, Spirit Shock Wave, Withering.
This Star Vein Combination seems ordinary, but players who tested it consider it the strongest Life Soul for solo duels in the current version.
Mainly built around the Binding Soul, strategy guide players in demonstration videos use Binding to immobilize targets and continuously apply Siphon to stack Withering damage.
If the target shows signs of breaking free, a Spirit Shock Wave is used to continue immobilizing and siphoning.
This keeps the target in a consistently immobilized state, performing excellently in solo duels.
The drawbacks are also obvious, with the output being too low.
It lacks both the multi-application of function assistance and the burst damage of output players.
It can only rely on the continuous effects of Withering and Siphon.
Besides being strong in solo duels, it is good for nothing else and doesn’t fit the war mode usage.
It’s only suitable for lone wolf players to challenge monsters stronger than themselves in the wild, but the kill efficiency is very low.
The last Primordial Monster was an unexpected catch by the player "No Longer Carrying a Sword" while fishing in the Ascension Sea, pulling up to find a golden dragon fish.
What surprised this player even more was that the analysis showed it was a Fifth Generation Source.
The characteristic name of the Primordial Monster was "Gold Coin," with the analysis introduction showing that it can siphon positive extra profits through the flow of wealth.
This introduction was so vague that forum players were left scratching their heads.
Finally, Guidance provided a clear answer.
The so-called flow of wealth refers to active economic activities such as trading and investing, which can all bring about the flow of wealth.
And positive extra profits refer to earning profits, not losing transactions.
At the current stage, the only way players can adapt to the "Gold Coin" trait is by nurturing Fat Peach, which can be seen as a form of value investment.
Inserting a Level 1 Gold Coin Life Soul can grant an additional 8% profit stored in the form of Wealth Power.
When the value reaches 100 sacrificial power, it can generate a gold coin, which can be sacrificed and converted into sacrificial power at any time.
After learning the clear usage method of the Gold Coin trait, there was a wave of excitement among forum players.
They thought they could gain extra profits by exploiting a bug in the Trading House, 8% each time, with infinite cycles providing endless sacrificial power.
But the reality is, the mode of buying and reselling was not compatible with the Gold Coin trait.
The reason is simple: many trading modes in the Trading House are not positive profits and have a percentage fee on the principal.
Even without the fee, it’s difficult to form the flow of wealth.
Because the Gold Coin trait requires naturally formed energy, players must have real value exchange and emotional input.
Products normally listed by players can gain the flow of wealth and receive extra Power of Coins cashback through trade sales.
But if they attempt to exploit or cooperate with other players to repeatedly buy and resell, they cannot sustain the flow of wealth, even if it’s the first listing before starting to sell again.
The standard for judgment is set by the rule characteristics of the "Gold Coin" Life Soul, eliminating any possibility of bug exploitation.
If it could be exploited, in fact, Qi Sheng would want to create endless gold coins and exchange them for sacrificial power more than the players.
Therefore, the method of fake transactions is not feasible.
After learning the correct usage method from Guidance, the popularity of the Gold Coin Life Soul in the forum significantly declined.
Embedding a Fifth Generation Soul involves a cost of thirty thousand sacrificial power in the early stage, without providing any combat power boost, and the trait effect performance is quite weak.
At least at the current stage, it’s difficult to gain excessive returns through the Gold Coin Life Soul.
As forum players put it: if I have thirty thousand sacrificial power, it’s more beneficial to use it to hunt stronger monsters than to embed a gold coin.
In the eyes of many players, the Gold Coin Life Soul is not as powerful as the latest Void Grip and Siphon Souls.
But forum players also understand a principle.
The strength of a Life Soul is never fixed, and since the gold coin is a Fifth Generation Soul, it indicates it has tremendous development potential.
Perhaps in the near future, the Gold Coin Life Soul will shine brightly.
