A few days later, Sui Xiong quietly went to the dragon cave underneath the Void Mask Land. He happened to meet several workers who wanted to withdraw money, so he witnessed the scene of Graupel using various methods to resolutely stop the workers from taking money out.

He wiped his sweat and went to Rhode, who was in charge of finance, and asked if that happened often.

“Not often, just every time.” Rhode was an old and good-tempered man. He said with a smile, “It’s nothing serious, just a small joke. If there’s no other way, we can ask Frost or Miss Snow for help. That always works.”

“But… It’s not a good idea to go on like this.”

“That’s true. If it continues, I’m afraid the little girl’s mental state will be affected.” Rhode said with some concern, “It’s not good to cry or scream every few days.”

Yun Xun was surprised at his answer. He hadn’t realized that Rhode was worried about the same thing as Shoggoth. On second thought, he understood. Both of them were seniors in society, and they were old. It was natural for them to worry about a little girl after seeing her unhealthy lifestyle.

“Don’t worry about that. The most suitable way of life for a Rock Dragon is to live underground with gold coins…”

“Your Majesty, you know what I mean.”

Sui Xiong was silent for a moment, then nodded.

He couldn’t find a solution to Rhode’s problem.

Exchanges of money were inevitable in business. It was very common to earn money and spend it later. Graupel smiled when she saw the gold coins come in and cried when she saw the gold coins out. It was in her nature, and no one could help it.

Sui Xiong had been gaining a very thorough knowledge of dragons during this period. With a God’s powerful intelligence gathering abilities, he could be regarded as an expert on dragons, so he knew that Graupel’s attitude towards gold coins was quite common in dragons, especially in the Inferior ones.

However, no other dragons would ever encounter such an extreme situation as her.

As Rhode said, it wasn’t good for Graupel’s mental state in the long term.

Maybe… Should I really let her brother and her switch jobs?

He thought about it as he left Rhode’s home.

Sui Xiong pondered for a long time. He still thought that it wasn’t a good idea to let Graupel and Frost exchange roles. It could not only not cure Graupel, but it also would affect Frost, who was still acting normal.

But… Exchanges of money were unavoidable…

He had a headache after thinking about it for a while. He couldn’t help complaining about the backward business and payment conditions of the world. It could have been much less trouble if they had been on earth! They would just have to swipe a card or make an online transfer, then a large portion of the transaction was completed. As for small businesses, just buying a small warehouse and transferring through retail accounts was enough…

Thinking about that, he began to consider it carefully, wondering whether it was a reliable idea.

Theoretically, it didn’t seem impossible for this world to carry out bank transfers…

Bank transfers on earth came from easy communication among banks and mutual trust in finance. Someone went to A-branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank to make a transfer, and money would be transferred to an account at B-branch of the Construction Bank. As long as the information was verified on both sides, the money could be transferred. There was no need to carry such a large sum of money and send it to B-branch over mountains and rivers to the people waiting for the receipt.

In this world, there were also ways to monitor financial transactions and provide credit guarantees for both parties.

Luckily, he knew the person who could do that and had a good relationship with her…

A few hours later, Sui Xiong went to the Holy Kingdom of the Goddess of Wealth, the River of Gold. He paid a visit to his close ally, Manissy, the Goddess of Wealth.

After a short greeting, he made his own suggestion.

“Introduce bank transfer services in my divine temples?” The graceful Manissy frowned and began to think about it carefully.

The divine temples of the Goddess of Wealth had business in depositing. Before traveling abroad to do business, many businessmen would put as much their temporarily unused property as possible into the divine temples of the Goddess of Wealth and appointed their heirs. If they came back safely, they could get the property back by paying a custody fee. If they couldn’t, their heirs could go check with the divine temple and ask the priest to judge whether they were alive or dead through magic in order to decide whether to start the inheritance process.

This business was also an important source of income for the divine temples of the Goddess of Wealth. Thanks to it, the divine temples of the Goddess of Wealth in various large and medium-sized cities were protected by nobles and other organizations, for they wanted to keep their money safe. However, no one had ever thought that they could connect one savings account with another and transfer money directly by making an account at the divine temple.

The benefits of doing so were obvious. First, it was fast, and second, it was safe.

When transferring large amounts of money, it took a long time to count the money. Sometimes, it still took a lot of people to check the authenticity of money, and both the giver and the receiver had to worry about being robbed. Even if they employed a large number of bodyguards, they still had to worry about being robbed by the bodyguards.

If such a transaction could be completed through bank transfers, it would be more convenient and safer for transactions of large amounts. No matter how strong the robbers were, they couldn’t steal money that didn’t exist at all. As for cheating methods such as the Enchantment and the domination of human beings, it would be absolutely impossible to use them to deceive the Gods who supervised the transfer of funds. The Gods would completely prevent the possibility of using such methods to commit fraud. As long as the person in charge of the money didn’t betray themself, no one could take the money away.

It was also beneficial to the Goddess of Wealth. The power of a God came from two aspects: one was the mastery of the source of power, and the other was the possession of belief. The large-scale expansion of business would surely enhance her mastery of wealth, and once this convenient and reliable trading method was popularized, people’s faith in her would also be strengthened.

The human mind was the most elusive thing in the world, and it was also the most difficult thing to deceive. So-called belief was not only letting others blindly worship a God, but also making them identify with a God’s strength, agree with a God’s ideas, and trust what a God did. Beliefs coming from these aspects were far more reliable than those gained by coercive or deceptive means so as to make people worship a God daily.

But… in doing so, the risks were high, too.

First, the deposit accounts of every divine temple throughout the Main Plane would be checked, and the integration of this data would cost the Goddess of Wealth massive magic power.

This was a one-time job, but there were others to follow.

When making transfers in the future, the Goddess of Wealth would also have to expend magic power to provide security for both sides and update their accounts in time. Perhaps the magic power she would spend each time wasn’t much, but people always said that little things piled up. In this world, a large number of business activities were carried out every day. If the Goddess of Wealth provided a guarantee for all of them, the amount of magic power expended would be amazing.

Even Gods with great power could hardly predict whether it would be good or bad.

In this world, it wasn’t ensured that if the idea was correct, it would be successful in practice. On the contrary, good ideas that had bad consequences had been seen too much in the long life of a God.

The Goddess of Wealth thought about it for a long time and couldn’t make up her mind.

She knew that if this practice could be maintained, perhaps this world would eventually develop into a world where people bought and sold things without using physical currency and could complete a transfer with a simple scan of their holy emblems. She would undoubtedly become one of the most powerful Gods in the world, and might even have the chance to go beyond the level of Great Divine Power, to the great realm that was hard to predict.

But she also knew that it wouldn’t be so easy to stick to this practice until that day came.

The Goddess of Wealth wasn’t a fierce fighting goddess, and she also lacked decisive determination. She had pondered for half a year and discussed it many times with Sui Xiong. She deliberated on all kinds of possible hurdles and discussed how to deal with them. Finally, when the snow began to fall in the north that winter, she made her decision.

Living in this world, there was always time to struggle. Maybe she would encounter trouble because of this project, but in order to advance to a higher and stronger realm, in order to become one of the top Gods, even if there were risks, she couldn’t take them into account!

The oracle of the Goddess of Wealth came along with the snow.

From then on, the Goddess would count the deposits of all the divine temples. Once the statistics were completed, if both sides of the transaction had deposit accounts in the divine temple and thought it was necessary, the Goddess would provide transfer services for all large transactions over 1,000 gold coins.
