Use and consequences
The system initially offers Carl one gold whenever another crawler makes a copy of his invention, including in future seasons. His Accounts display later describes the payment as one gold per kill instead. Cashing out would cost two gold plus twenty-five percent rounded up, and Carl leaves the money in the account.[2]
