Chapter 33 The Scales of Truth (New book, please support!)
"Your Majesty the Serpent God is joking!"
"But the 'collection' in my Lord's hands is indeed better than this world's."
With unconcealable pride, the Faceless Man explained to Li Hao with a smile.
After all, although the world we have now is precious, it is not as good as the secret treasures from the gods.
Whether it is an instrument that subverts the rules of matter or comes from the highest creation of civilization...
Or maybe it was a divine weapon born from the world that only gods are qualified to use...
Those are things that cannot be compared to this world - the greatest value of these things is that they are hard to come by.
"These are the items that the gods want to trade. Your Majesty the Serpent God can view them one by one."
The Faceless Man spoke as he handed a scroll emitting golden light to the Snake.
As "Hua Snake" took the scroll, a standard game transaction interface popped up on Li Hao's mobile phone.
Wow! Li Hao couldn’t even reach the bottom at first glance.
The few trading items on the first page alone shocked Li Hao again.

At a glance, most of the items in the interface are rare treasures, and only a few are marked as legendary.
As for the rare items in legends, they are not qualified to be traded among the gods.
What is the concept of rare treasure? The [Zhulong Mask] that Li Hao is wearing now is a rare treasure.
The only thing to be thankful for is that this scroll does not contain anything of epic level like the [Book of History of Years].
This also made Li Hao successfully realize that the [Book of History of Years] transformed from the Zhulong Dragon Ball might be an extremely precious treasure among all the gods.
"If I want to trade these items, what will it cost?"
After reading it carefully, Li Hao noticed that this interface can actually be filtered.
Depending on the conditions he sets, Li Hao can quickly find the various secret treasures he wants to find.
"It can't be something as vulgar as 'money', right?"
When Li Hao said this, he was actually testing whether there was an equivalent currency in the "Civilization Game".
It turns out that in this game where gods exist, there is indeed no equivalent currency in the general sense.
"No, how can a real 'divine weapon' be purchased with money?"
As expected, he shook his head to deny Li Hao's words, and the faceless man took the initiative to explain.
“The so-called ‘equivalent currency’ is something that only emerges based on resources and trust.”
"But in all the worlds, what resources and what forces can gain the trust of all gods at the same time?"
“Even those powerful pantheons that rule many worlds cannot make their own currencies the dominant currency in the ‘Civilization Game’.”
After hearing this, Li Hao already understood.
There may be no dominant currency in the universe, but there are relatively equivalent currencies.
Powerful gods who are keen on expanding their sphere of influence can, while enriching their own resources and civilization diversity, also meet the needs of other gods to the greatest extent possible.
The currency issued by them can naturally be circulated within a certain range, thus achieving the concept of "equivalent currency" in disguise.
Of course, just like the cutting-edge equipment and technology in the real world.
These currencies can only serve as general equivalents under normal circumstances.
Once it comes to something at the level of "artifact", no amount of currency can buy it.
"In fact, we, the 'Secret Society of the Faceless', have our own private currency system."
"However, that is only for apostles and mortals."
With the credit endorsement of many gods, the apostles and mortals under the "Secret Society of the Faceless" can indeed have the concept of equivalent currency.
However, transactions between gods rely on something else.
"Father Hathor's 'Balance of Truth' is the cornerstone of our 'deal'."
Before the Faceless Man finished speaking, a scale icon suddenly appeared on Li Hao's screen.
Different items can be placed on both sides of the scale.
"If you like something, just put it on one side of the scale..."
"Then you put the artifacts that you feel are 'equivalent' on the other end of the scale."
"When the 'balance of truth' is balanced, it means the values are equal."
Having said this, the Faceless Man added one more sentence.
"Of course, there is no real equivalent in this world."
"As long as you can reach an agreement with the god on the other side of the transaction, you can trade even if the value is not equal."
"The existence of the 'Balance of Truth' is just to ensure fairness between both parties in the transaction as much as possible."
Looking thoughtfully at the scales of truth that symbolizes "equality", Li Hao did not reply for a long time.
"Your Majesty the Serpent God?"
It wasn't until the Faceless Man spoke tentatively that Li Hao came to his senses.
"What serves as the general equivalent between most contemporary gods?"
Since participants in the "Civilization Game" can trade across the Scales of Truth.
Then there must be something here that can serve as a general equivalent.
This thing may not be currency in the general sense.
But it must exist. This is simple economic common sense.
"The qualifications to become a god, the authority of a god, items with divine properties, and even the power of the god himself..."
As Li Hao expected, the Faceless Man spoke without hiding anything.
"Godhead, priesthood, divinity, and divine power, these things can actually serve as general equivalents."
Seeing Li Hao nodded in realization, the Faceless Man continued to explain.
"But since these things themselves are not too valuable or precious, you often have to pay more to exchange for a 'divine artifact'."
To put it simply, every god has things like godhood, priesthood, divinity, and divine power.
Therefore, if you want to use these ordinary things to exchange for a secret treasure, you often have to pay a greater price.
“So if it is not necessary, I don’t recommend you to use this trading method.”
