Chapter 49: Chapter 49 Making Money from Money and More Money! (4/5)_1

Seeing Chen Mo display a golden-grade weapon, Su Tianxin was beginning to acknowledge his combat power. However, she still asked, "What about armor? Did your parents leave you any?"

Speaking of armor, Chen Mo didn’t have much to show at the moment, but he chuckled and said, "Yes, they left some; it’s enough."

"That’s good. If you have good enough equipment to support you, then you can try this five-star dungeon. But you must promise me that you will prioritize your safety, try to stick to crowded areas, and don’t recklessly rush to compete with others!"

In these exam dungeons, many related rankings were updated simultaneously, and many rewards within the dungeons were tied to these rankings.

Once rankings appeared, it was very easy for people to get overly competitive. Many who hadn’t intended to take risks would feel their competitive spirit inevitably ignite upon seeing their rankings continuously surpassed. Ultimately, they would act impulsively, attempting things beyond their capabilities, and by then, it would be too late for regrets.

Although Su Tianxin thought Chen Mo seemed quite stable, she couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t do something reckless, so she stressed this point repeatedly. In dungeons of such five-star difficulty, let alone two-star professionals, even four and five-star professionals could die if they were careless for a moment. The level of danger was evident.

Su Tianxin advised Chen Mo to stick to crowded areas primarily because people could be treacherous. Many people participated in each dungeon, and everyone was a competitor. Some individuals, lacking real ability but harboring ill intent, might not be able to surpass others in the rankings and would thus resort to eliminating those ahead of them. Every year, incidents of candidates being secretly assassinated were reported globally. These were only the incidents witnessed and reported; the number of unreported cases remained unknown. This was also why the death rate in exam dungeons was so high.

However, even the stated threat of punishment for harming others within the dungeon proved ineffective. Many people gambled on not getting caught, and such incidents continued unabated. After all, once one left the safe zone, any place could become a lawless land. Without the restriction of rules, the dark side of human nature could easily be infinitely magnified. If someone lacked self-control, they were liable to commit heinous acts.

This wasn’t limited to exams; in the wilderness, mutual killings frequently occurred over competition for BOSSES, spoils, and the like. There were too many such incidents to manage or control. The only thing the Academy Alliance could do was strictly enforce discipline within the safe zones, to at least safeguard the most critical living space for Earth’s future generations.

Chen Mo immediately nodded in agreement with Su Tianxin’s concerns, reassuring his teacher.

"Alright then, you should go back and prepare. I had privately prepared some money for you, but since your parents left you things, there’s no need for me to do anything extra."

Seeing Su Tianxin take out a money bag, Chen Mo immediately shook his head, saying, "How can I take your money, Teacher? Besides, if word got out, people would gossip about you. After all, with so many students in the class, if you only gave me money, they would surely say you were playing favorites."

"That’s simple," Su Tianxin said with a nonchalant smile. "I’ll just say it’s a reward for you ranking first in cultivation during your studies. If anyone else wants my reward, they’ll have to earn first place too."

"In that case, Teacher, just give it to me directly. I’m here to claim my reward," Chen Mo immediately tried to press his advantage.

"Go on, get out of here! You already have such a good inheritance from your parents; don’t eye my little savings. Hurry home and prepare well, understand? The five-star exam dungeon is incredibly difficult."

Having failed to get the money and instead being shooed out, Chen Mo smiled, bid his teacher farewell, and left the school.

When he got home, Sister Yiyi wasn’t there. She must have gone out to work.

Chen Mo decided to sort through his spoils, convert them to cash, and present it to Sister Yiyi. This way, he could convince her to stop working so hard in the future.

Back in his room, Chen Mo took out the day’s harvest. He first examined the eight items dropped by The Master of Mutation.

I wonder how much money is in these two money bags.

Chen Mo opened one with anticipation. Inside the first money bag, he saw 50 eternal copper coins!

Eternal coins are the recognized currency of the Tower of Eternity and the Heavenly Trade Market. They are divided into four denominations: eternal coins, eternal copper coins, eternal silver coins, and eternal gold coins, with a 100:1 conversion ratio between successive tiers.

Units below level 20 only have a chance to drop eternal coins.

Units between level 20 and 40 have a chance to drop eternal copper coins and eternal coins.

Units between levels 40 and 60 have a chance to drop the first three types.

Units above level 60 have a chance to drop all four types.

The higher the denomination of the coin, the higher the rank of the monster that drops it.

Because eternal coins are the sole recognized currency in the Tower of Eternity and the Heavenly Trade Market, their exchange value for real-world currency is quite good. Although the rate fluctuates, one eternal coin generally exchanges for 50 to 150 alliance currency. The consumption rate of eternal coins in the Tower of Eternity had been steady, so the current exchange rate was 1 eternal coin to 100 alliance currency. This meant one eternal copper coin was equivalent to 10,000 alliance currency, making this single money bag worth 500,000 alliance currency.

One bag is 500,000 alliance currency! No wonder they say combat professions make good money. The rate of earning is just too insane! Sister Yiyi only earns a few hundred alliance currency a day from her job. Who knows how long it would take her to earn 500,000. And I got this much just by killing one BOSS!

Chen Mo seemed to have forgotten he had defeated a field group BOSS. A field group BOSS is usually tackled by 500 people. If this money were divided among 500 people, each person would only get 1,000 alliance currency. Earning 1,000 a day is decent, but it doesn’t sound like much in comparison.

Since one money bag was worth 500,000, Chen Mo excitedly opened the other. Unexpectedly, this money bag was even more bountiful, containing 100 eternal copper coins—equivalent to 1,000,000 alliance currency!

From a single field group BOSS, not counting the value of other items, the dropped eternal coins alone were worth 1,500,000 alliance currency! I’ve really struck it rich this time!

Chen Mo, in high spirits, combined the coins from both money bags. Listening to the JINGLING sound of the coins clinking together was indeed a delightful experience.

As he watched the coins clink against each other, a thought suddenly struck Chen Mo.

What if I use my Composing Ability to combine three eternal copper coins? Would they form an eternal silver coin? If so, wouldn’t I be able to make money from money and get rich instantly!

At this thought, Chen Mo was eager to try and immediately began the composing process.
