The Mech Touch novel Chapter 3743

Chapter 3743 - Designing Coins

After reading many different reports, Ves understood the arguments and goals of the currency project to a greater degree.

The people who worked to design the lark and the coins were all earnest people who wanted their clan to become a more serious body.

Maintaining a currency and minting coins was one of the most influential ways to manipulate people's perception and behavior towards the clan.

"The lark is decent, but that is all. It checks the boxes without going any further."

It was too bad that Ves was never satisfied with doing an adequate job.

Maybe Gloriana had rubbed off on him more than he anticipated, but he truly could not tolerate an effort that only covered the basics without going any deeper.

When Ves looked back on the Larkinson Clan, he imagined the bonds of family that brought a highly diverse mix of human talents and individuals together.

He thought about all of the living mechs that protected the expeditionary fleet through thick and thin.

He thought about the unique and powerful expert mechs that possessed the greatest individual combat power of the Larkinson Army.

He thought about the diverse personalities of prominent members such as Calabast, Shederin, Jannzi and Joshua, which the clan did not try to suppress.

When he thought back on all of this, he noted that each of them had a few elements in common.

"Diversity and unity." Ves identified.

The Larkinson Clan was not an organization that demanded a high degree of conformity.

The best example that Ves could think of that pursued the opposite was the Hexadric Hegemony.

The former home state of his wife was large and filled with many different personalities. However, the overwhelming majority of them were rather similar to each other because that was what their culture and their fellow people demanded.

The Hexers had to follow a strict set of rules that governed how women needed to comport themselves, the way that 'boys' had to be treated and how much tolerance they should show towards deviations from these standards.

Suffice to say, life in the Hexadric Hegemony was strict towards rule breakers. Those that thought that boys deserved to be treated as equal would either get thrown in jail or be sent to special classes in order to 'correct' their mindsets. _{freёwebnoѵel.com}

Those that insisted on the 'barbaric' notion that men were equal to women despite all of the warnings would be branded as Fridaymen spies and sent to the execution chambers!

"Our clan isn't anything like that." Ves said with pride.

Although it was not easy keeping all of the different subgroups and subcultures together, he liked the fact that his clan was made up of different people that easily got along with each other.

Even the more distinct and abnormal groups such as the Swordmaidens and Penitent Sisters did not generate a significant amount of rejection from more ordinary clansmen.

It wasn't just the different subgroups that were allowed to maintain their unique customs. Every individual clansmen was allowed to develop their unique personalities. The clan didn't care how far they deviated from the norm as long as they were loyal and did their jobs.

This was how eccentrics such as Vincent Ricklin, Ketis, Gloriana and even Ves stayed so unique. The clan did not pressure them to conform to a more generic standard, which was exactly how Ves liked it. He detested regimes that imposed too many silly rules on people.

So what if people were different? As long as the deviances were harmless and not disruptive, it should be okay for Larkinsons to retain their unique identities.

Naturally, there were downsides to this approach. Even if the Larkinson Network did much to prevent different clansmen from splintering away from each other, it was still difficult to make every single Larkinson react the same way to different instructions.

"In any case, my clan celebrates individuality while at the same time binding them together in a common family."

As he came to this conclusion, he gained a solid direction on how he should shape the currency of the Larkinson Clan.

The name could stay. It sounded good and it was rather clever to refer to it as the lark.

What Ves truly wanted to change was the design of the coins. He had a lot of different ideas on how he should overhaul their properties. Too much, actually.

In order to sort out his thoughts and pick the most useful and relevant out of them, he opened up a document and listed out his own set of requirements.

"The lark coins have to be living products without any exceptions."

"The lark coins must be unique and traceable."

"The lark coins cannot be forged by unauthorized parties."

"The lark coins must be totems that not only possess a small form of life, but are also tied to different design spirits."

"The lark coins should all possess the capacity for growth, allowing them to change and evolve as they are being used or handled by different users."

"The lark coins must possess tangible value or utility that is worth money even if it is no longer used as a form of currency."

"The lark coins must possess all of the aforementioned properties while at the same time make it viable for them to be mass produced."

Ves paused and went over the list several times. These were the major demands that his coins absolutely had to meet in order to satisfy his own demands.

His overall aim was to turn the physical lark coins into products that could be treated as special commodities that were not only useful to his clansmen, but also outsiders.

This could become a potentially lucrative export product if Ves designed the coins well enough!

He could create a coin that cost 0.001 MTA credits to make but actually sold for 10 MTA credits because that was how much customers were willing to pay to obtain extraordinary benefits!
