"Just think about it, maybe it’s Korean won or yen, and do you think missions come every day? This is definitely the startup fund given by the server’s beginner tutorial, it must be useful."
The murmurs of the few people reached Lin Miao’s ears, and the reason he did it was very simple.
The European dollar issued by the European Community bank, abbreviated as Eurodollar, is currently the most widely circulated currency in this world. At the same time, the European Community is the unipolar power of the world, and no matter whether it’s Neon Huang Ban or the new US Military Science, they all have to bow before it. He has no capital to contend with the current world’s financial system. If he purely used Eurodollars as the game currency, these players might collectively run to those big companies within three days.
Because the opponents can always come up with a large amount of money to crush him, causing players to have a huge psychological imbalance.
Even though Lin Miao has the power to control players’ online and offline status, the information channels of the network society cannot be blocked. Forcing players to work, or worse, abandon the game using such power is not feasible.
After all, everyone is here to play the game, and no one truly wants to be someone else’s slave.

For example, with equipment binding, it is okay for them to be cannon fodder in the early stages, but later on, when they have assets, there will inevitably be incidents where they fear dying and losing equipment. GP points can bind equipment, and upon death, they can have the agency issue a task to recover the equipment, which other players can accept.
Only bound equipment can use the modification chamber for installation.
