Doomsday: I Can Get a Hint-Chapter 283 - 217: Universal Currency (Triple Combo - )_2

Chapter 283: Chapter 217: Universal Currency (Triple Combo Chapter)_2

"He treasures it very much."

Chen Yuennan glanced at Wang Hao.

At this moment, she figured something out.

Wang Hao kept talking about the Black Blade, could it be that he’s interested in it?

Although it’s unclear what Wang Hao’s superpower is, he seems to appear in human form when fighting.

A divine weapon would be very important for someone like him.

However, this Black Blade is Ghost Warrior’s lifeline, he’s definitely not going to give it to anyone.

"Can you arrange for me to meet this Ghost Warrior?"

"I don’t have the authority to do that."

Chen Yuennan spread her hands and said with a sense of helplessness:

"His rank is higher than mine, superpower users are already disrupting the conventional class system.

As time goes by, the higher-ups will all become superpower users; the stronger the power, the higher their status."

Chen Yuennan’s words revealed the current state of society.

In a dystopian world, the strong are revered, even in these official large settlement camps.

Currently, those in high positions can still rely on their previous leadership status, armed forces, and resources to maintain their high positions.

But as superpower users grow stronger, they will gradually be phased out.

Ultimately, the world will surely be controlled by powerful superpower users.

"Is he always training? Never comes out?"

Wang Hao asked persistently.

"He does come out; his strength is already formidable. Sometimes he goes on missions or even hunts monsters outside, turning his learning into his own through combat."

"That’s good."

Wang Hao rubbed his chin.

As long as he comes out, that’s good.

Otherwise, he’d have to take the risk to find him inside.

"Wang Hao, this Ghost Warrior is no joke, don’t bring trouble upon yourself!"

Chen Yuennan looked at Wang Hao with concern.

She already knew that Sun Yaoyao and Chen Tingting were with him.

His strength isn’t bad, and he has his own gathering place, with abundant food and weaponry.

Following him isn’t a grievance for Sun Yaoyao and Chen Tingting.

The future assures some security too.

But if Wang Hao acts recklessly, her two sisters could become widows.

"Let’s eat."

Wang Hao invited the others to eat, then asked:

"By the way, what currency do you use here? I need to exchange some money."

"Crystal coins!"

Chen Yuennan took out a crystal coin the size of a regular coin and placed it on the table.

The surface was very clean, with nothing on it; just a plain surface.

"Can this thing really be used as money?"

Wang Hao picked up the crystal coin, playing with it curiously.

"Cousin, isn’t it easy to forge this?"

Sun Yaoyao asked in a low voice.

"This is made from crystal stone powder mixed with silicon dioxide. Other official settlement camps with the means are promoting its production, and it’s basically becoming universal now.

To forge it, you must have crystal stones and grind them into powder. Crystal stones are very hard and difficult to grind without specific equipment.

Additionally, if you have the technology, you can consider it, as the value of crystal coins is tied to crystal stones.

They’re like gold in civilized societies!"

Chen Yuennan explained with a smile.

"Oh? That’s interesting!"

Wang Hao’s eyes lit up; this was much more convenient than his Water Margin cards.

Yet he quickly wondered: "If we have crystal stones from a level three monster, what about later when there are levels four and five?"

"There are!"

Chen Yuennan took out a purple crystal coin:

"The powder in this one is from a level three monster’s crystal stone. One such coin is equivalent to a hundred regular crystal coins."

"It’s quite beautiful."

Sun Yaoyao picked it up, playing with it while curiously asking:

"How to verify its authenticity?"

"With this."

Chen Yuennan brought out a pen-like device. When it got near the crystal coin in Sun Yaoyao’s hand, a small LCD screen on the pen lit up, displaying the number 100 with the words level two next to it.

Wang Hao took it and scanned his, and it also showed the number 100 with the words level one next to it.

"These crystal coins have energy and can be used as money. In the future, they can also temporarily power crystal stone equipment. But as the energy gets used, their value will decrease. Once depleted, they lose purchasing power."

Chen Yuennan said casually.

"That’s interesting!"

Wang Hao’s eyes gleamed sharply; this official approach is authoritative indeed.

This way, there wouldn’t be significant devaluation of the currency.

Even if the settlement camp were to break down, crystal coins could be used to purchase items at other gathering places.

"How many crystal coins can one crystal stone exchange for, of the same level?"

"A thousand coins!"

Chen Yuennan said plainly: "But you don’t have to exchange it. Typically, larger consumption venues support direct crystal stone payments.

They settle crystal coins at a one-to-thousand ratio, although the real value of one crystal stone exceeds a thousand crystal coins due to their high portability.

Wealthy individuals are willing to exchange one-to-one thousand two hundred or even fifteen hundred for a crystal stone."

"This system really works!"

Wang Hao felt it was like ancient times.

Crystal coins are like copper coins, while crystal stones are silver ingots or gold ingots.

One must admit, human wisdom is truly remarkable.

In such a short time, they have nearly rebuilt a social currency system.

At the same time!

The emergence of crystal coins has also led humanity into a brand-new era.

An era akin to a cultivation society, centered around crystal stones as energy.

And they, the superpower users, are the main forces in hunting high-level monsters and will become the true upper echelons of society.

....

After the meal, Chen Yuennan left with Sun Yaoyao.
