311: Chapter 291: Reporting and Probing 311: Chapter 291: Reporting and Probing “…Based on the current situation, the reporter’s personal suggestion is to cautiously observe and express goodwill to a certain extent. The reasons are as follows…” “Firstly, upon on-site confirmation, its ‘Abnormal Ability Trading’ is not as exaggerated as the rumors suggest, as its trading range is restricted to ‘Black-Iron level’. This means that the probable beneficiaries are only Tier 1-2 professional Ability Users, with extremely limited impact on third-tier professionals. Its influence on the supernatural order in Ancient City is bound to be limited.” “Secondly, the trading volume and effects are purely speculative. Currently, due to the extreme scarcity of ‘Life-points’ as the trading currency, it results in a severe lack of market liquidity. Within a week, only four ‘Abnormal Ability Trades’ have been detected (excluding an extremely small number of undetected private transactions).” “Moreover, due to the existence of ‘compatibility’, one of the transactions had a problem where the seller lost the ability but the buyer did not acquire it successfully. Although he claimed to have a solution and would succeed in Awakening within a short period, no success had been achieved by the time of writing this report.” “From a more malicious perspective, it is possible that the ‘currency shortage’ was created by the Secret Realm Controller, mainly to limit the ‘trading volume.’ Is this to conceal the insufficiency and weaknesses of his ability? Or is it to avoid causing too much disruption to the order within the Ancient City?” “Finally, highlighting the above inadequacies is not to disregard the Headquarters’ concerns; on the contrary, I personally believe it is worth paying attention to. Especially considering its growth potential as a Newborn Secret Realm, or the hidden elements it possesses.” “The issue of insufficient trading volume can be addressed by issuing more currency, or by opening up a more stable and reliable means of obtaining currency in the future. The upper limit of trading Ability levels may not be impossible to remove as time goes by and the Secret Realm grows.” “Not considering long-term factors, just having a ‘Trading Market’ now has the potential to challenge the steam factory, let alone those unique services requiring Life-points. In my personal opinion, at this stage, ‘Abnormal Ability Trading’ serves more as a gimmick to attract more long-term customers and strengthen its market positioning, which they have done quite well.” “However, I am personally friendly towards them because their first batch of targets consisted mostly of Professional Ability Users who lean towards our side (official forces), like Ancient City University, Special Service Team, and civilian Secret Keepers leaning towards the official side. The beneficiaries are mostly our allies… Hypothesizing malicious intentions and driving them into enemy camps would be unwise before uncovering their secrets.” “In conclusion, I personally suggest adopting a long-term observational attitude towards the Secret Realm, expressing a conciliatory attitude towards the potential Secret Realm Owner and old stagers, and using its ‘Abnormal Ability Trading’ capability to enhance the abilities of our own special agents while ensuring safety, as far as I know, several excellent special agents have also been stuck at the 2-tier and third-tier thresholds for a long time…” After putting down the pen, Lu Ping’an breathed a sigh of relief; writing this report was somewhat of a headache for him. It wasn’t that the report was difficult to write; there was just too much to write about. The specifics of how to write it tested him a lot. He couldn’t merely go through the motions, and there had to be some substance in the report. Ideally, there should be some predictions, and in the end, the friendly stance of the Secret Realm Owner should be expressed… “…Prepare to distribute some Tokens.” Part of the content in the report is true. As the Secret Realm Owner, Lu Ping’an is indeed treading cautiously. Taking too big a step and causing a significant change in the balance of the entire city would be extremely dangerous. He plans to try a little bit at a time, slowly letting go, pushing forward if it works, and stopping if it doesn’t. Even if there are Brass and Silver Level “Abnormal Ability Trades” later on, Lu Ping’an has no plans to throw them into the Trading Column too easily. Whether it will be reserved for VIP customers or not opened at all depends on the specific situation at the time. But now, the severe lack of market liquidity is a significant problem. Relying solely on his own consumption, he won’t be able to leverage the market effectively. More importantly, as the report states, the main reason is to prove the possibilities of “Abnormal Ability Trading” and serve as a gimmick to attract more neutral parties to participate in trading transactions. He will first put out a few trade quotas to see how things go. The Bureau of Anomaly Management has quickly responded, hasn’t it? At the very least, he wants to see what their specific attitude is. “I hope this report is somewhat useful.” Lu Ping’an knows that Team 3 is definitely not the only one assigned to investigate this Secret Realm and write a report. At most, it can serve as “reference material” for the superiors’ meetings. How much impact it can have depends on how many eye-catching content there is in it. “How many Tokens should be issued in the first batch? 30? 50? Or all 70 at once?” In fact, many people might have guessed that, in the end, the -30 limit is still the loan limit for the new users. Originally, only Black-Iron Levels had Name Cards and loan privileges, but Lu Ping’an and the Secret Realm AI administrator Big Cat made adjustments. It should be mentioned that these transactions are also subject to taxes, and the traders’ assets will be further burdened in the process. However, unlike regular loans, these long-term loans are under Lu Ping’an’s authority control. As long as one doesn’t get close to the upper limit of interest, they don’t need to worry about mandatory repayment and can be deemed as start-up funds.” Once Lu Ping’an makes up his mind to issue Tokens, even though the daily 70 currency still won’t be able to purchase any Abnormal Abilities, as long as the circulation starts, there will be a large number of transactions… Which means that there will be a large number of successful Ability trades, and a batch of “short-term Advancers” may appear in Ancient City.” This help has a negligible impact on the advancement from 2-tier to third-tier, as only a few people can benefit from it, and it’s only to make up for their shortcomings.’ But for the 1-tier to 2-tier advancement, it would be almost spot on. It is foreseeable that a large number of 2-tier backbones will emerge… Even though 2-tier is not valuable here for Lu Ping’an, the standard for recruiting Special Service Team members is elite 2-tier, and well-equipped 2-tier professionals are already very capable.” The impact on the lower end is so enormous that, in a few years, there will be a significant increase in the number of third-tier professionals. Lu Ping’an must proceed with caution.” “…Let’s wait for the Bureau of Anomaly Management’s attitude to be determined before issuing the Tokens. By the time my ‘prophecy’ in the report is verified, my other suggestions will also receive more attention…” If the Bureau of Anomaly Management decides to crack down, Lu Ping’an will lie low for a while. If they think everything is fine, he will push forward decisively. During his contemplation, he’s actually thinking about a stable way to acquire Life-points… According to Big Cat’s suggestion; the Secret Realm should still be missing many rules that he needs to supplement as soon as possible. How to supplement them? By taking office or finding some Rule-level items. Lu Ping’an shakes his head; this matter can’t be rushed. It’s better to take it slow, observe some external feedback, and then gradually follow up. But now, there is a more critical matter to deal with… Dealing with the two Informed-persons. “Sister Lululu, Hua senior sister, have you made up your minds? The positions as internal members of the ‘Trading Land’ are precious. The benefits and perks are beyond what ordinary customers can imagine.” Sitting in front of Lu Ping’an were the two uneasy senior sisters. Due to the previous “Conscience Contract,” they were among the first to learn about the existence of “Life-points” and naturally knew who the “man behind the curtain” was. As Lu Ping’an had been planning to recruit them, the contract was handed over as a matter of course, but both of them (having been duped before) hesitated and even went to consult with Lu Ping’an about the matter.
