This plot completely caught Chen Tingquan off guard.
The Dual-Open Mentor came in a whirlwind and left fully loaded, leaving him alone in the chaos of the wind.
Now Chen Tingquan totally understood. The world of "Reverse Heaven" certainly emphasized the legal system, but it didn't entirely focus on it.
The laws here were akin to those in slave societies; beating a slave to death was of course punishable, but not by life-for-life, instead, it was compensated with money.
In the game, paying players aren't allowed to kill normal players at will.
The first kill, according to the law, costs one high-grade spirit stone, that's $100;
And thereafter, each additional kill within the game time doubles the cost.
This initial $100 is already a huge sum for the vast majority of players, and if it keeps doubling, even wealthy players will feel the pinch.
Moreover, killing too many people will trigger divine retribution, directly turning the paying player's physical body to ashes.
