CHAPTER 573: CHAPTER 290: SPEND MONEY TO BECOME STRONGER? THE EXCHANGE SYSTEM BUILT BY SU YU!_2

"And don’t complain about the price. The permanent version of the battle armor is definitely stronger than the temporary one! Charging only ten times the energy currency of the temporary battle armor is already Mr. Su Yu giving everyone the cost price."

"With just this amount, as long as you’re willing to work hard, it’s not impossible for everyone to own a seven-star battle armor one day in the future!"

"Work hard, earn energy currency!"

The higher-ups spoke these provocative words.

"Mr. Su Yu is mighty!"

"Develop resources, earn energy currency!"

Hearing these words, millions of residents became restless.

They couldn’t wait to put on their battle armor and go to the surface to develop resources and earn energy currency.

If they earn enough energy currency, they could even exchange for a permanent version of the seven-star battle armor?

Isn’t that equivalent to using money to buy a seven-star level strength truly belonging to them?

This was simply unbelievable!

Not to mention, most of them coexisted with the Mechanical City, possessing semi-mechanized bodies.

If they had a seven-star battle armor, they could even fuse and coexist with the armor.

At that point, it would be equivalent to truly possessing seven-star power!

It would mean they themselves were promoted to seven-star!

These people came from various major cities and had witnessed the seven-star powerful City Lords.

They had always envied those seven-star Transcendents high above.

Who wouldn’t want to have seven-star strength?

However, they also knew that barring any surprises, they wouldn’t contact the seven-star realm in ten lifetimes.

But now, they finally saw an opportunity!

Earn energy currency, exchange for seven-star battle armor!

Moreover, they had heard that a senior figure from the Mechanical City, Commander Tie Long from War City, reached eight-star strength by fusing with a powerful armor.

This was a living example!

Now these residents suddenly had such an opportunity? How could they not be excited?

Only some unlucky ones had just squandered their energy currency and had none left. They couldn’t even exchange for the most basic four-star temporary battle armor and almost cried one by one.

These people were already weak; otherwise, they wouldn’t have only one or two energy currency.

Without battle armor, how could they develop resources and earn energy currency?

At this moment, they suddenly discovered a window popped up on their personal information terminal.

"What’s this? Energy Credit System (Trial)?"

These paupers with not even one energy currency curiously clicked in...

...

Behind the scenes, Su Yu watched all this, chuckling inwardly:

"When enough resources are collected in the future and the seven-star battle armor is mass-produced, the energy credit system will be widely opened."

"Permanent seven-star battle armor for one hundred thousand energy currency, ten thousand down payment, a one-hundred-year loan, annual interest..."

"Tsk, tsk, I’m really a big villain."

Su Yu wanted to build a seven-star battle armor army, but once the armor was crafted, it definitely wouldn’t be given away to those residents for free.

Everything must be earned by themselves.

Only with effort and reward is it justified.

However, most residents didn’t have the ability to earn enough energy currency.

So, Su Yu had to introduce the energy currency exchange system and credit system. This way, the armor and energy currency could circulate.

In this way, not only could the cost of building the armor be recouped, but a significant profit could also be made.

After all, loans come with interest, and a hundred-year loan could even be several times the principal.

In Su Yu’s mind, debts were already placed a hundred years ahead.

Once they took his battle armor, they shouldn’t think about escaping; they should work for Su Yu and pay off their debts honestly.

Su Yu wasn’t afraid they couldn’t pay back the money.

Once they had the seven-star battle armor and fused with it, their lifespans would greatly increase, and they’d pay back slowly.

Even if they died in battle, the armor materials could be recovered, turning into another piece of armor; regardless, Su Yu wouldn’t lose out.

Su Yu was even preparing to introduce things like stocks and companies to try running them.

After all, with so many people now, the old ways weren’t suitable; keeping up with the times was necessary.

Tie Long, Yang Lie, and other higher-ups couldn’t help but admire when they heard Su Yu’s plan:

"Mr. Su Yu, this move is truly brilliant!"

"It completely mobilized everyone’s enthusiasm and eradicated the idea of getting something for nothing!"

"With these millions congregated in one city, doing nothing all day, I was worried about how to manage them. Now it seems we still have to look to Mr. Su Yu."

"This economic system contains great wisdom..."

People of this era, in the largest cities, only had one or two million people, lacking any decent country.

The financial systems of the cities were naturally very primitive.

And a mammoth ago, the financial systems of the Human Empire left very few records, and these people had little understanding of them.

So when they saw Su Yu create this energy currency financial system, they were amazed, feeling it contained great wisdom.

If implemented, it would surely revive the Mechanical City and unite everyone’s efforts.

And it wasn’t through forceful commands; it was through the residents’ voluntary and spontaneous efforts.

Seeing this, Su Yu could only shake his head silently.

This financial system was just temporary and couldn’t be relied upon; otherwise, an economic crisis would eventually occur.

More than that, Su Yu was curious about what economic system the Human Empire used a mammoth ago?

With thousands of stars and trillions, even tens of trillions of people, and countless currencies flowing in the cosmic space daily.

What a magnificent financial world that must have been...

"The most important question is, how much wealth did the Human Empire have back then?"

"If they used energy currency as the energy-based currency, how much energy would that be!"

"No wonder Zhang Chenfeng’s creations could still lavishly spend after a mammoth."

"Could it be that Zhang Chenfeng’s creations didn’t use the Evil Gods’ corpses as energy sources but instead used the Empire’s deposits?"

"Maybe it’s half and half; while using deposits, they also used the Evil Gods’ corpses to produce energy ’printing money’."

"I wonder if there are any small treasure vaults left by the Empire on the Ruins Star? If found, a few dozen billion energy currency would be a fortune..."

The residents of the Mechanical City had only a few energy currency in their hands, a fortune tens of thousands were unattainable to them.

Su Yu, however, was already eyeing the Empire’s legacy, a hundred billion fortunes.

Su Yu guessed that the entire Mechanical City, if sold whole, all its energy added up would be at most around ten million energy currency, a significant part of which was from the two Energy Crystals sent by Zhang Chenfeng.

Calculating like this, it truly seemed quite impoverished.

If he could get the Empire’s legacy, a hundred billion wealth, wouldn’t that be prosperous?

Moreover, Su Yu wanted to build a seven-star army, with energy needs undoubtedly only increasing.

This tens of billions of energy currency were urgently needed.

"I think too much; where would I find a hundred billion energy currency to dig up?"

Thinking of this, Su Yu couldn’t help but smile wryly, even feeling he was somewhat daydreaming.

"However... maybe not. The Giant God Soldier Camp’s base might have some leftover deposits."

Su Yu’s heart stirred, recalling the Giant God Soldier Camp he had planned to visit long ago.

Originally, he merely wanted the Giant God Soldier Mecha technology.

But now, he had a new goal: the camp’s treasury!

Thinking of this, Su Yu became impatient.

No choice, he was poor! The more he thought, the poorer he felt. Wanting to build a seven-star army, no amount of energy currency would be too much.

"Today, as soon as global development kicks off, I’ll immediately head to the Giant God Soldier Camp!"

Su Yu made up his mind in his heart.

"Mechanical City, divide!"

Once Su Yu decided, he immediately commanded the Mechanical City.

In a short while, the Mechanical City had developed the function to split by itself.

Global development could officially begin!

Boom!

With Su Yu’s command, the entire Mechanical City trembled.

On the exterior of the Mechanical City, numerous cracks appeared.

These cracks extended, actually cutting off small chunks from the entire Mechanical City!

These small chunks were less than one percent the size of the Mechanical City, but though small, their function was complete, all of them floating around the Mechanical City like satellites.

"Everyone, board these split bodies of the Mechanical City and head to all corners of the globe for massive development!"

Su Yu announced to everyone in the city!
