Contribution Value wasn't only useful for him, but it could also be applied to the soul mirror images controlled by the players.
Currently, all players' soul levels were ordinary, with a maximum level capped at three, equivalent to a normal human without Extraordinary Power. Only after ascending to Black Iron would the level cap unlock to 10, then Bronze at 30, and Fine Steel at 50... and so forth.
To upgrade an ordinary soul level to Black Iron, it only required 100 Contribution Value points, a sum relatively minor compared to the cost of upgrading from Bronze to Fine Steel.
If these players could create enough value for him, he wouldn't mind enhancing their gaming experience, like letting them be a High-level Demon for a change.
Of course.
Since he was also in short supply of Contribution Value, he would set the exchange ratio between Contribution Value and faith at 10:1 for the time being.
Whoever gathered 1000 Contribution Value points first would become the first to break through the LV3 level cap as a big boss!
You all just go for it!
Luo Yan, who couldn't lose either way, inadvertently curled up his lips into a slightly sinister smile.
He found that he was becoming more and more like a Demon King.
Seeing that the respected Lord Demon King had finally started to get serious, Youyou also perked up, replying with full vigor.
"Received!"
Simultaneously, a sticky post appeared on the official forum of "Calamity OL."
[a.0.1 version update announcement: New currency system!
Dear players, to enhance everyone's gaming experience, this maintenance-free announcement introduces the "Joss Paper" and "Contribution Value" system!
As the only currency circulated in the Great Graveyard, Joss Paper can be used to purchase equipment and items from NPC shops or the system store! However, as the store system is still under development, it will become available after a while, so please be patient!
Additionally, it's essential to mention the Contribution Value system. Players can earn Contribution Value by completing tasks assigned by the Lord Demon King, accumulate Contribution Value to upgrade their soul levels, unlock higher LV caps, and potentially transform into other cooler species in the future!
Only higher soul levels can control higher-level monsters and even Demons.
This includes the much-anticipated Enchanting Demon, of course~
]
Luo Yan glanced at the official site in his spare time.
He had been worried that Youyou might not understand his intent, but unexpectedly, she was quite capable and even painted a bright picture of the future at the end for him.
Unsurprisingly, the slackers who were just idling in the forum instantly exploded with excitement.
"Holy crap?!"
"Does the development team not sleep?!"
"I just suggested this yesterday, and it's updated as soon as dawn breaks!!"
"Got it! Just gather enough Contribution Value to escape this skeletal prison, right?!"
"See you on the flip side, bros! I'm grinding progress!"
"Bro! Let me use the Enchanting Demon when you get there... "
"Scram! What else can you do with your luck except cover me in ashes? "
"Damn! Planners, stop just updating and give us more accounts!!! (frantic)"
"Screw it! Screw this class! I just took a day off for my boss!!!"
"..."
Poor little greenhorns, they were hooked, line and sinker.
In just a minute, a hundred skeleton soldiers had simultaneously returned online!
Before Luo Yan could speak, a frenzy of creaking noises already surrounded him.
"Lord Demon King! Who are we chopping today?"
"Invasion! I want to invade the surface hard!!!"
"I feel super amazing right now! I could take on ten Chosen!!!"
"..."
Facing the chaotic noise of the crowd, Luo Yan raised his voice with a solemn tone.
"Silence! Listen to me!"
The excited players were of course not so compliant, but he hadn't expected them to be anyway.
Using his authority, he sealed everyone's actions and continued in a calm voice.
"The Demon King Territory needs development, not just combat... You can contribute to the Great Graveyard in whatever way you are skilled!"
"As for tasks, I've updated them in your task list. You can check it through the task bar on your interface..."
After speaking, Luo Yan released the seal on the players' actions, stood with his hands behind his back, indicating the end of the intermediary CG.
The noisy sound filled the mine once again, but this time it was organized chaos, unlike the turmoil before.
Yiye Zhiqu quickly opened the task bar, only to see a long list of pop-ups.

[Task 4: Capture adventurers...]
[Task 5: Explore unknown landmarks...]
[Task 6: Complete equipment crafting orders...]
[Task 7: Collect cave spider eggs...]
There were various types of tasks, broadly categorized into combat tasks and life tasks.
Compared to yesterday, today's tasks were not only more specific but also came with corresponding rewards.
Yiye Zhiqu looked around.
