Kapitel 1551: Currency

But… It seemed that Aritzia had truly pissed Clara off, because she implemented two more things immediately that were only supposed to be introduced later on. This could only be described as a declaration of war: Mortal Network Library and Virtual Stones.

Virtual Stones were a virtual currency system that was perfectly encrypted. As a result, unlike the Sapientia Bank, transactions couldn't be tracked and tied to your name.

The instant it was introduced, Sapientia Bank Accounts began to close one after another. Soon, as much as 10% had left, while others were only waiting to confirm the security of VS before likely making the move themselves. Once VS became more widespread and could be used as easily as one's Sapientia Bank Card, there would be no competition remaining. Who liked their actions constantly being watched by looming eyes? Not everyone had the depth of array alchemy needed to escape the eyes of the Sapientia.
