Chapter 6: This thing is money

"Ahhh I woke up early in the morning and was muttering about orz. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

"Ahh!!h Akai lay on the floor, squirming Orz.

"Hey, get up and work." I tried to pull Akai up from the ground.

The latter sighed weakly: "I'm so hungry, I can't walk." ”

"Me too, but first we have to dig up some money."

"Huh? What counts as money? ”

Akai said that he has always used the barter method, and he is really unaccustomed to suddenly asking for money.

I thought about it, and I heard them say it when I asked the two aborigines yesterday.

"Hmm, I remember."

I explained the matter to Akai in detail.

It turns out that since the rise of industry, money has naturally replaced the primitive way of bartering, and of course, what can become currency is nothing more than gold, silver, copper and iron ores.

Gold is an absolute hard currency at all times, so it goes without saying that we used this thing to trade with the villagers for money.

However, since the beginning of industry, iron coins, which can also be called IC coins, have also been a form of currency.

The abbreviation of the term "industrial" is "ic", and the first industrial revolution is said to have been 900 years ago.

Later, after continuous scientific research and development, the second industrial revolution took place about 500 years ago. Historically, it has been called "Industry 2".

I remember when I first heard this, it was just a black line, and it was anyway.

"But have you ever wondered where our home is made?" Akai asked me this question out of the blue.

I was stunned for a moment, then thought about it.

"On land, it's obviously not suitable." Indeed, in today's world where giant monsters are infested, the risk of building a house on the ground is too high. I don't want to have to worry about praying that there won't be giant zombies coming to my ceiling while I'm resting.

"Well, then, what about being made in heaven?" Akai proposed, as he got up from the ground.

"No." I shook my head and rejected the proposal.

"Huh? Why, isn't it safe in heaven? Akai looked suspicious.

I was silent for a while, and then said in a very calm tone, "I'm afraid of heights. ”

The Akai was silent.

"Or build underground?" Since the ground and the sky can't be chosen, then choose the underground, Akai thought.

"If you don't want to suffocate, the basement is not ventilated, and there is no sunlight. Well, instead of going underground, I think we can build our home in the sea. ”

"Nautical・・・・・・ "Akai dragged his chin and nodded.

"That's a good choice, if you're by the sea, there's no shelter, the view is wide, and it's hard for monsters to come over on the sea."

With that, the location of our new home was decided.

"Okay, at least I'm going to dig up some ore before lunch today, or I'll have nothing to eat, and we don't have any fields right now." I clapped my hands and beckoned Akai to come to work. Yesterday we dug about 50 meters underground, and this time we went down the road.

"Understand and understand, in order to eat. But we don't have enough torches yet. ”

"Yes, let's go cut down the tree first, if you have a stone axe, it's still quite fast."

With that, Akai and I started a new day's work.

As for the other things, they will be put aside for the time being, and everything will have to wait until our lives are stable.

Similarly, we still chose a place away from people this time, maybe we like to be quiet, and we subconsciously chose it. However, we are not too worried on the aborigines' side, after all, there is that fifty-meter-high wall, which is not so easy to attack.

An hour later, Akai and I each returned to the cave where we had temporarily made our home with a set of wood in our backpacks.

After putting the stone furnace in and waiting for them to be burned into charcoal, we began to make a simple cobblestone staircase from the stone material in our hands, mainly used as a mine tunnel, after all, the stone stairs that are one meter high down each block are enough to climb up, and it is easy to lay the stairs.

The work proceeded in an orderly manner until enough charcoal had been fired, and we began the tedious process of continuing to mine the ore downwards.

For a moment, the sound of tinkling percussions was incessant, echoing in the depths of the ground.

――――――――――――――――I'm a dividing line――――――――――――――――

With our efforts, the first vein was excavated by us.

It is a small vein of copper ore, and the stone is mottled with bronze like rusty patterns.

There is no doubt that this is a copper mine.

"Whew, finally digging the first one."

"Copper ore, although it is not a valuable ore, can still be exchanged for something from the villagers." I nodded.

In the industrial age, the role of copper ore was considerable, almost on the same level as rubber. Wires and batteries require a lot of copper ore to make.

But since the nuclear bomb incident, civilization has regressed, and all the blueprints of industry have been sealed, and nowadays, copper ore can only be used as a material for smelting bronze, but it can still be sold for some money.

"Go ahead and see what you can dig up."

"Yes."

In the world of [Minecraft], the unusually rich reserves of ore are as always, as long as you dig down, no matter where you are, there will always be ore under your feet.

Although a large amount of underground ore was mined due to the industrial revolution for hundreds of years, the world has returned to its original point in a few hundred years.

In a short time, we were already 100 meters underground.

Turning around, the long slanted road leads to the ground, and the sunlight shines obliquely into it, without any obstruction, accompanied by the light of the torches, illuminating the entire mine road.

I wiped the fine sweat stains on my forehead, took a breath, turned my head, and said to Akai, "It's almost, let's stop here today." ”

Akai stopped what he was doing.

"Is it okay to be here today?"

I looked at the seven or eight pieces of iron ore in my backpack, and the rest had some tin ore and some copper.

Originally, only coal and iron ore were evenly distributed underground, but with copper, silver, and tin ore, the underground materials became very abundant, and we did not have to worry about no ore.

Of course, coal mines are big road goods and are everywhere, but we are in line with the principle of digging when we see them, so we also have all of them.

In addition to these ores, there are also a large number of cobblestone, which are all materials for future home, so not too much, too little.

"Let's go back, burn the ore, and sell it for some money, it's already noon."

Let's talk about the proportion of currency here, I haven't figured out much about this thing with Akai, but it seems that copper, iron coins, and gold ingots are counted separately.

The props that can be purchased with copper ingots are all materials, such as wood, stone, and other building materials, which need to be purchased with copper ingots.

As for iron ingots, one iron ingot can be crafted into four iron coins from a crafting table, which is a ratio of 1:4. Iron can be purchased as tools, such as iron axes, iron pickaxes and other tools, of course, you can also buy iron swords, iron armor, and you can also go to the blacksmith shop to repair equipment.

But is that the price・・・・・・

City.

Somewhere in a weapons store.

"Where's the cheat!! Flip the table! Akai made a table-flipping motion.

"I'm ・・・・・・ day," I couldn't help but explode.

The sign above reads like this.

Iron Sword: Two iron ingots.

Armor: Eight iron ingots.

"Is co-authoring just a process? How many years have passed, why are the aborigines still so uncivilized! Is there a difference between buying and not buying? We can make the same material ourselves, how can we repair it! I lifted the table with an expression, and I couldn't stop complaining.

"Let's go back, let's go to the hotel・・・・・・" Akai had a deceived expression on his face.

So, we left without buying anything, leaving behind the aboriginal store manager with his eyes open.

A certain restaurant.

I looked at the rice on the table in front of me, and the excitement in my heart was irrepressible.

"Oh oh oh oh!!! It's actually rice!!! ”

"Oooh! Cooked rice! Banzai! Akai said with his hands held in the air.

I should have thought that since there is already bamboo in this world, then according to the situation, [rice] and [rice] should be logically available.

When the time comes, I'm going to start farming! Wheat bread or something, enough has been eaten! I thought so, and ate with Akai.

By the way, this is egg rice, a bowl of iron coins (so expensive!) One or two meals with Akai and I was an iron ingot! οΌ‰

It seems that life in the future will not be boring, and there are many new things (food) in this world.

ps: This is really the last update of the year, ask for a recommendation vote (my unicorn arm has stopped!) In addition,In the next day, do you want to write a side story or something.,For example, how do you see the plot of wearing a mc template to help maintain law and order in other zombie-infested worlds?

In addition,Someone in Lianmeng claimed to write [Famine],I'm strongly in favor of this.,I just don't know if it's going to open Terraria's pit with the pit god and then leave it alone.,In short, it's a good hanging.。
