The organizers also provided a detailed explanation of how to participate in the coin-collecting activity.
Actually, this activity is very simple.
The main problem is that this evergreen tree is rather "mischievous".
It's not that as long as you pour your lifespan into the Azure Pool, it will obediently convert it all into time coins.
Instead, the Tree of Longevity will only begin to generate currency once the lifespan accumulated in the Azure Spring reaches a certain amount.
The required lifespan is generally very large, and there is no accurate value.
Therefore, for the Tree of Immortality to bear Time Coins, the power of the masses and their joint efforts are needed to accomplish this.
So the black market devised a system—
During each round of Tree of Life coin distribution.
All customers can individually infuse their life force into the Ningbi Spring.
If a customer injects lifespan at the exact moment the Tree of Life begins to accumulate coins.
The customer will then become a "lucky one" and gain access to the Evolution Blood Spring.
Of course, if there is only one lucky winner, the probability is still too low for the majority of customers.
So, apart from the lucky ones who just happened to make the Tree of Life start to produce coins.
The nine customers who receive the longest lifespan injections will also be eligible to enter the Evolution Blood Spring.
Of course, all the lifespan injected during the customer's stay can eventually be redeemed from the time coins earned.
That is to say-
For example, you could inject a hundred years of lifespan into Ningbi Pool.
Ultimately, regardless of whether you qualify to enter the Evolution Blood Spring, you will receive a hundred-year coin.
In other words, customers basically don't lose money, regardless of whether they ultimately enter the Evolution Fountain.
After hearing the details of the event, Jiang Yi was still confused.
He asked Que Yun directly, "If we calculate it this way, won't the black market lose money on this coin-collecting activity?"
The staff member was taken aback by this, thinking to himself, "Why do you care whether the black market is profitable or not?"
As the young master of the black market, Que Yun naturally knew more secrets behind this operation.
However, he certainly wouldn't reveal the true secret of the Tree of Immortality.
However, out of goodwill, I still briefly told Jiang Yi a story that most people already know:
"It's not that we'll lose money."
"Because the energy released from the Tree of Immortality's Time Coins is just enough to sustain 10 players using the Evolution Blood Fountain once."
"From this perspective, the income and expenditure are balanced."
With that said, Jiang Yi speculated:
"So... the value of actual lifespan should be more precious than ordinary time coins, right?"
Que Yun nodded slightly: "Perhaps."
"After all, time coins are just a form of currency; to convert them into lifespan, you still need an elixir of immortality."
Jiang Yi seemed to be deep in thought.
Then Que Yun went on to explain the logic behind the black market's profit-making from this project:
"And each time the Tree of Immortality produces coins, there is a chance that it will condense into an Immortality Coin."
"Once the Longevity Coin is formed, it belongs to the black market."
"Of course, after taking the Longevity Coin, the black market will also provide compensation in the form of an equivalent amount of Time Coins. This ensures that every customer receives the same number of coins as the amount of lifespan they spend."
Jiang Yi nodded slightly.
He did know that the value of the Longevity Coin was higher than that of ordinary time coins.
However, if that's all there is to it...
He felt that this black market was actually quite ethical.
Although there is an opportunity to obtain Longevity Coins on the black market.
Overall, it's essentially like making the entire Azure Pool, the Tree of Immortality, and the Blood Spring system available to tourists for free.
If it's ordinary capital, there will probably be some conversion rate set.
For example, if you sacrifice ten years of your lifespan, you will only receive nine years' worth of coins?
But then I thought about it.
Que Yun may not have told the truth.
Perhaps there are other profitable parts in the entire Longevity Tree coin system that he deliberately concealed.
Anyway, capital is unlikely to openly tell you where it embezzled money.
However, this has nothing to do with Jiang Yi.
So he didn't think about it any further.
Instead, they were led by staff to queue at the "Longevity Offering Platform".
While queuing, I did see Uncle Huoding at the observation deck.
The middle-aged man looked at him from afar and gave him a kind and friendly look.
