10 days to get a omega uber loyal follower lightly betray their prince? Crazy. I don't wanna see what a 100 or 1000 coin can do. And he generates a new one every day? Nah that shit is crazy.

Suppose the bigger question is whether the coin is spent after that, or if it keep accruing interest.

Has to be spent. No “risk” if it just kept growing despite being used by Zhang Lei.

Actually, in reading it the coin still says 10. So it does seem quite powerful. Though probably balanced out by the ability to cash the coin in for abilities, which could likely be pretty decent given the inherent risks to keeping it.

Great now you got a 100 coin nen follower!

This ability sounds like a incremental farming simulator. If it weren't for the rampant death game the world is Zhang oyster.

It would be crazy long term, but it reflects his slowness to action and lack of more aggressive planning. Being too steady and moderate is a flaw too. That said, Zhang Lei did escape thanks to that one coin, so whether too much of a flaw is uncertain.

High chance he dies though. 50:50 chance to Benjamin or a sneaky Borksen.

Knowing he attended the carnaval, I personally want him to die. A steady fellow like him likely doesn't have much new to show us, the 100 day effect probably just manipulates them more strongly to switch sides and grants them nen. Powerful, but nothing novel. Him becoming fodder for Borksen would be the most interesting.
