I Am an Editor at Marvel

On the night when Artoria returned to Earth carrying the equipment, the first fire in the history of John Bull's Hogwarts School broke out. Fortunately, Gawain's timely arrival did not cause too many casualties.

"Can you tell me what you did?" Gawain looked at the stairs that were burned to ashes, and turned to look at the "arsonist" Leona standing beside him.

"This staircase can move!" Leona waved her hands, simulating the rotation of the stairs she had seen, and said slightly panicked, "Wherever I go, it turns away. It happened several times!”

"So you burned the stairs?" Gawain scolded. If Leona was for this reason, he felt that it was necessary to educate Leona mentally.

"No." Leona pursed her lips, looking aggrieved, "I just built a bridge."

"A bridge? How to build it?" Gawain found it hard to imagine what kind of bridge could cause a fire.

"Just like this." Leona traced her finger in the air, and following the direction of her finger, an arch bridge made of sun fire slowly appeared in the air.

Snap, Gawain slapped himself in the face. Now he knew how this happened, and he could also imagine the scene at that time. These stairs were just cast with a magic spell, and were used as a kind of puzzle game for students. How could Leona do this?

"I have to teach you some common sense in advance. Come with me." Gawain led Leona outside the castle. He felt that if she didn't learn a lesson first, Leona would become a teacher and become the entire Hogwarts. The greatest disaster.

Outside the castle, the sky is extremely clear, the bright moonlight illuminates the earth, and shining stars hang in the sky, making the entire sky look less monotonous and simulating the most beautiful picture in the world.

"You should know what the biggest rule is for every mysterious person in the League of People, right?" Gawain asked after thinking for a while.

"I know." Leona nodded, then thought about it and opened her lips slightly, "Every practitioner must remember that when foreign enemies invade, they must stand in front of mortals and protect every mortal. Even if he is a criminal!"

Gawain walked to the railing with his hands behind his back. Leona almost understood what he meant, but it was obvious that she just memorized it by rote and did not understand it in depth.

"Then do you know why this rule was born, and why everyone spontaneously abides by it?" Gawain looked up at the sky, and his thoughts seemed to have returned to that era of chaotic growth.

Leona thought for a long time, "Because we are strong?"

"This is just an appearance. The essence is that we use a lot of resources from this civilization. Whether it is you, me, or any member of the mysterious side, the resources consumed by us are more than a mortal can use up in his lifetime." Gawain said very seriously.

"The more you use it, the more responsibilities you have. At the same time, every mortal is the cornerstone and future of civilization. Without them, we alone cannot support a civilization." Gawain continued, "This These are a few words that I have come to realize over a long period of time.”

"Is there anyone who doesn't follow this rule?" Leona asked curiously.

"No more now." Gawain's tone contained a hint of solemnity.

Indeed, there are no more of them now, because that kind of people have long since died in the Great Purge. It is precisely because of that Great Purge that the People's Federation can truly be called a civilization with positive development.

Leona nodded, indicating that she understood. Although she didn't quite understand it, she also took Gawain's words to heart.

"Do you know how much damage was caused today?" Gawain continued after seeing that Leona had some thoughts.

"Yeah" Leona was a little silent. She was a little scared now that she had caused a lot of waste of resources.

"Don't worry too much. In fact, those things are not too precious, but they are still priceless treasures in the mortal world for the time being." Gawain comforted him. His purpose was not as simple as making Leona afraid.

As for the words "priceless treasure", the word "priceless treasure" is not wrong, because the mysterious side and the non-mysterious side of Renlian have not yet established a suitable trading channel, and there is not even a price, so naturally it is a priceless treasure.

As we all know, most countries on the earth now operate a credit system. The gold standard was completely eliminated many years ago because the gold resources on the earth simply cannot keep up with the development of the commodity economy and are no longer suitable for calculation as a general equivalent. .

As for what gems, diamonds and the like should be used to replace it, it is even more nonsense. Diamonds, which seem to have high individual value, are just an ordinary stone in front of the country and civilization. The added value generated is only useful to a specific individual person.

This is also the reason why several international appraisal agencies do not issue certificates to the large-scale diamond mines in Mao Xiong. The mines are really too big, and there are several carats spread on everyone's head. This can be maintained casually. The diamond market that had existed for so many years was completely destroyed.

The topic is a bit far off topic, let’s bring it back to the current currency situation of the People’s Federation.

Currently, the currency within the People's Federation is relatively chaotic. Heavenly Court and Clock Tower implement a planned economic system. The points, incense and other measurement units issued by the two are actually the same in nature. They are both calculations based on expected resources and current personnel. Just distribution.

At the same time, internally, points and incense are exchanged at a one-to-one ratio without restrictions, so in fact, these two things have the same meaning, but they have different names due to different cultures in different regions. The most important thing is that they can both It is a real exchange of resources of equal value, that is to say, one point of resources will be worth one point, never more.

For the mysterious side with a total population of no more than 500,000 formal professionals, the planned economy is a very suitable economic system, but for the earth with a total population of 7 billion, it is not very suitable.

The credit currency implemented on the earth is a currency system that is guaranteed by national credit and is not directly linked to any precious metal. To put it bluntly, it can be over-issued, and its own value is far lower than the value of currency. This is also the case. The basis for being able to transfer economic pressure to the entire world by printing money.

So when the People's Federation is established and credit currency and non-credit currency exist at the same time, the question arises, what can be used as a new general equivalent for transactions.

Yingjiang once recommended the U.S. dollar while licking his face, but before the mysterious side could say anything, people from other countries started scolding him.

Yingjiang promised that they would never print U.S. dollars indiscriminately again, but who would believe their promise? If they really want to use U.S. dollars as the general equivalent, they will definitely start the money printing press and try every means to get the resources on the mysterious side.

The U.S. dollar is not suitable, and other credit currencies are not suitable either. At least for now, they cannot be linked to each other in such a simple way. That would directly overwhelm the Mystic Side and force Mystic Side personnel to directly deny the so-called credit currencies.

If credit money cannot be used, then return to the original and use the gold standard?

No, gold is indeed a rare element in the universe, and its own value is also very high. It plays an irreplaceable role in various industries in the earth's mortal world and in the mysterious side. But again, gold It's not enough.

The vast majority of gold on the earth is in the mantle and crust and cannot be mined. Needless to say, the surface veins cannot be supported by the commodity market of a large country, let alone the mysterious side.

As a result, with the joint efforts of many people, a temporary one-way exchange channel was reluctantly born.

That is, a trading method based on direct transactions supplemented by indirect transactions and credit transactions.

Direct transactions simply mean bartering. Some items that have been carefully processed and recognized by the Mysterious Side are given new values ​​and can be directly exchanged with part of the basic and relatively sufficient Mysterious Side resources.

Indirect transactions are also very simple, that is, adding gold to it, and converting gold into mysterious currencies such as points to purchase other goods. Similarly, the types of goods are limited and the purchase quantity is limited.

Credit transactions are a bit simpler. Most of them are circulated within the earth. The most obvious manifestation is the exchange of various credit currencies for gold.

However, this fragile and difficult-to-maintain long-term transaction method is still in the pilot stage because it is really difficult to carry out overall planning.

The purpose of the mysterious side is to improve the happiness of ordinary citizens within the civilization while protecting the security of the civilization. It is not here to kill everyone.

For example, if an alloy that can be produced on earth is now included in this trading system, then the price of everything on this alloy production line will begin to increase, and society’s labor force and production materials will also converge towards these industries. This change will weaken other industries and other industries. The intrinsic value of the commodity.

As a result, the production quantity of other commodities began to decrease, and the market prices also began to increase. However, because the overall development speed of productivity could not keep up with this change, it would eventually evolve into becoming both expensive and scarce, resulting in extremely outrageous inflation, and a lot of money began to disappear. valuable.

The hard-earned assets of people who are unable to connect with special alloys begin to shrink inexplicably, and naturally the quality of life of the people begins to decline. This is an outrageous vicious cycle.

Because the resources on the mysterious side are absolutely scarce for all countries on the earth, the decline in the proportion of alloy exchange points cannot stop this trend, and it is naturally impossible to reach an ideal balance point, or in other words, reach a balance. By the time it was ordered, everyone was done.

Fortunately, the leaders of the mysterious side and most countries are still clear-headed, so this kind of thing has not happened openly yet, but something is wrong behind the scenes.

The most obvious example is the price of gold. Non-state gold trading venues have completely disappeared in recent years. On the surface, the price of gold has risen to more than 500 yuan per gram. But in fact, even adding a zero after it is difficult to describe. Intrinsic Value.

This was the case when the mysterious side urgently stopped the gold exchange policy in the middle of the pilot. This also caused the transaction channels other than direct transactions to be closed shortly after the start.

Then, during direct transactions, the intrinsic psychological value of commodities also began to change, and the heads of countless bald actuaries became brighter, and the values ​​of various commodities began to be re-estimated.

All in all, in one sentence, these things that Leona destroyed now are difficult to obtain through transactions with the outside world, because under the current trading system, no matter how you calculate it, both parties will lose money. In a lose-lose situation, you can only wait. The next wave of education resources allocation by the People's Federation will be the best.

Hearing this, Leona's little head was already a little dizzy. In her understanding, Gawain seemed to mean that the things she broke were of low value and high value at the same time. It was a contradiction. Humans cannot understand it, just like Schrödinger’s cat.

"If you really can't understand, just remember one thing. Don't waste things in the future, especially things related to mysterious resources."

Gawain reminded him that he himself did not understand these things very thoroughly. He only knew that there were countless mysterious people who were about to scratch their heads because of this world.

Now, any increase in the redeemable limit must be signed by more than three relevant persons in charge. If the amount is a little larger, it will be directly re-discussed, and finally a legend will follow up in real time. If something is absolutely wrong, call it quits first.

Leona was at a loss, but Gawain didn't care much anymore, as long as Leona remembered this sentence.

Otherwise, even if she damages an aircraft carrier, it won't be a big problem.

Don’t forget, the People’s Federation also has a channel with the Biohazard side. The population there has dropped sharply, there are countless abandoned aircraft carriers, and there are too many raw materials. Open transportation channels are temporarily unavailable, but a pair of Once there are restrictions, replacement is no problem.

"Um...Professor Gawain, how about I pay for this time first." Leona shook her head, trying to get rid of those things that were difficult for her to understand from her mind.

"Forget it, wait until next month, and it will be deducted from your salary then." Gawain waved his hand. After all, Gawain knew that Leona had just emerged from the sun.

Gawain estimated that except for the accompanying artifacts, Leona had nothing of value. As for buying and selling artifacts, are you tired of it?

Such deception of legend is beyond the reach of an unjust gainer. The charges were piled up all the way. Zhang San had to call him an expert when he saw it. Luo Xiang had to cry when he saw it, shouting that I don’t know this question. Do.

"No, I can really afford the compensation." Leona took out a three-legged golden crow feather with a swipe.

The moment it was taken out, the surrounding temperature began to rise, and the huge light was like a ball, lighting up the entire school.

Fortunately, after the last mistake, Leona put the things away in time when Gawain was too shocked to speak.

"Legendary material?!" Gawain swallowed, "Where did you get it from?"

"Um..." Leona pressed her nose, her eyes flickering, feeling very guilty, "My brother gave it to me."

Asking for recommendation votes, asking for monthly votes, asking for investment, asking for rewards, asking for subscriptions, asking for collections, asking for everything.
