Chapter 31 Discussion on the Price of This Book

Well... everyone knows that the price of novels is a difficult thing to determine. After all, the author is not an economics major, so it is difficult to give a standard price.

I have read so many novels, and I think the evaluation of the price of novels is mainly divided into two aspects. One is the income of the protagonist and ordinary cultivators, and the other is the price of precious elixirs. As for the others, they can fluctuate within a certain range.

I thought again and again, instead of creating a price randomly and causing a collapse in the later stage, it is better to benchmark according to the actual situation.

The highest combat power in the world in this book is the God of Incarnation, and its rarity is equivalent to the top ten richest people in the real world. The annual income of the world's richest man is tens of billions, so this is used as the corresponding God of Incarnation, and then one level down.

God of Incarnation - 10 billion low-grade spirit stones

Yuanying - hundreds of millions of low-grade spirit stones

Jindan - millions of low-grade spirit stones

Foundation Building - tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones

Qi Refining - three hundred low-grade spirit stones

Note: 1. This is annual income, not total assets.

2. This is the income of the most common cultivators in this realm, and does not include cultivators who have cultivated hundreds of arts.

The second is the price of precious elixirs. For example, precious elixirs such as foundation-building elixirs and golden elixirs, or very precious spiritual tools, magic tools, and magic treasures.

This pricing is very difficult. If it is too high, even the protagonist cannot buy it, let alone ordinary cultivators. If it is too low, it will seem too cheap and not highlight its preciousness.

So I thought about it for a long time, and suddenly realized that there seems to be something in reality that can correspond to it, that is-houses.

As far as I know, in most places with an average monthly salary of 3,000, the house price is about one million per set. In other words, if you earn more than 30,000 yuan a year and don't eat or drink, you have to work for 30 years to buy a set.

Then corresponding to the foundation-building elixir in the novel, that is, working for 30 years with an annual income of 300 spirit stones, it is about 10,000 spirit stones, which is exactly the price of precious elixirs, and it is also exactly the price of foundation-building elixir in most immortal novels. The elixir in the later period will have an appropriate premium, but it is all based on this change.

Only the sects, families or cultivators with skills in cultivating immortals are eligible to store and purchase such prices, which also gives the supporting characters of this book a rationale for the opportunity to purchase spiritual objects for promotion.

Oh, we have to talk about the classification of spiritual stones.

I think the classification of Qi refining, foundation building, and golden elixir in immortal novels cannot be just the state of spiritual energy in the body, from gas to liquid, and then to solid. It must involve the classification of levels, otherwise the word realm will not appear, so I introduced the two words energy level.

The level of spiritual stones is divided into extreme, upper, middle and lower according to the flow of mortals, and the exchange rate is 1:100, which is convenient for everyone to distinguish. After all, everyone reads books for fun. If it is too complicated, it will really affect the viewing experience.

The above is my setting of the price of this book. If you have any opinions, please point them out.

Wait, I almost forgot one thing. There were readers who responded to the previous article that the protagonist created various methods of cultivating immortals from scratch too quickly and unscientifically. Here, I have something to say.

As we all know, scientific experiments must first determine the research direction, then determine the topic, and finally obtain results through day-to-day experiments.

This process is very tedious, and I can only pick some stages that are about to succeed, and then expand and describe them in detail.

You want me to write the entire research process, and it must be detailed and interesting... I'm sorry, the author is just a newcomer, and it's my first time writing a book, I really don't have this ability, crying~.

And I've read a lot of novels, and found that if I write like this, it's easy to be criticized as water, so I think after thinking about it, I still think it's enough to talk about part of it and then summarize the overall picture.

This book is still based on the protagonist Lin Chen's exploration and discovery of this world composed of spiritual energy, as well as the battle between good and evil that swept across the Lingnan Xiuxian land and even the entire mortal world. I will briefly write about the detailed research process. If there are any shortcomings, please forgive me.

Finally, if you have any comments, please point them out.
