Lorenzo, a Venetian merchant, purchased a batch of strange oriental silk brocade boxes. Little did he know that Cthulhu's "desire spores" were hidden in them, which can distort cognition and turn ordinary goods into gold in the eyes of those who come into contact, triggering market madness and collapse. Faced with a supernatural plague that lurks a financial crisis, Lorenzo must make moves on the chessboard of game theory: designing a "trust auction" for traceable goods, teaming up with scholars to develop a "spore diluent", and fighting an ancient cult that uses spores to control the market. Can he use an innovative economic system as an anchor to purify the cursed market wave and open up a non-violent path to salvation in the power whirlpool of Venice?
