Chapter 3 Welfare of the Traverser

When Chen Qiang fled to Shanghai, he supported himself by being a newsboy, after all, he had gone to school and knew how to read, and it was still very advantageous to be a newsboy.

After all, Shanghai was the most prosperous city in China at that time, with a large population, a large market, and a large number of newspapers and many people who read them. Being a newsboy, although it is the most deductive job, can finally eat a meal and not starve to death on the streets.

"It's decided, I'm going to work as a newsboy in the newspaper early tomorrow morning, and I have to live in this old Shanghai!"

After Chen Qiang made up his mind, he went to the corner of the grass shed and dug for a long time, and dug up a silver dollar, which was an eagle.

This silver dollar is the savings of the previous "Chen Qiang", who fled to Shanghai for a few months, and saved such a silver dollar.

Then Chen Qiangyou took out a few silver horns and a handful of copper plates on his body.

"How much money is this equivalent to......" Chen Qiang began to search for his previous memories, he wanted to understand the monetary value of this era.

Before the abolition of the two yuan in 1933, China still used gold and silver as its main currency, and the use of currency was very chaotic. All kinds of currencies are mixed together, and the conversion is even more complicated, if you are not good at math and can't calculate accounts, you should simply not go out to buy things, so as not to be cheated.

Gold is used in large transactions such as buying houses and land, and the main liquid currency in the market is the silver dollar, which is commonly known as the "ocean".

At that time, there were many types of oceans, such as the Guangxu ingots cast in the Qing Dynasty, which were called "Dragon Ocean" because of a dragon engraved on it; The Mexican silver dollar is known as the "Eagle Ocean" because of the eagle engraved with it; The British silver dollar is engraved with a standing statue of Queen Victoria, so it is called "standing ocean"; In addition, there is the "Sun Datou" engraved with the head of Mr. Zhongshan, the "Yuan Datou" engraved with the head of Yuan Shikai, the "Li Datou" engraved with the head of Li Yuanhong, and various silver dollars.

These silver dollars contain pure silver are all six coins and eight cents, so the value is the same, and they are all used as "one dollar".

In addition to silver dollars, there are also various coins. For example, "silver slots" are auxiliary coins minted in silver, which are divided into three types: one dime, two jiao and medium circle, and one yuan is equivalent to ten jiao.

There are also nickel coins and copper coins, there is only one kind of nickel coin in the early Republic of China, that is, nickel coins of five cents, and copper coins have two cents, one cent, five cents, two cents and one cent. Ten cents is one point, and ten cents is a dime. After the abolition of the two yuan, 20 and 10 nickel coins were issued.

In addition to this, there is also the copper dollar, which is commonly known as the copper plate. This copper dollar is not the kind of round square hole money, and there is no hole in the middle of the copper dollar of the Republic of China.

According to the "National Currency Regulations" at that time, one silver dollar was exchanged for 300 copper dollars and 150 copper dollars for 20 copper dollars. And one is exchanged for 100 copper coins for 100 copper dollars, and one is exchanged for 200 copper coins for 200 copper coins.

At this rate, one silver dollar is equal to 3,000 yuan of round square-hole copper coins.

In fact, because silver is expensive and copper is cheap, silver dollars can be exchanged for more copper dollars.

As for the round square-hole money, which had been used for nearly 2,000 years, it was basically out of circulation by 1929 because it was so worthless. Just imagine that 3,000 Wencai is equal to a silver dollar, and you have to carry at least a sack of copper coins when you go to the restaurant to eat, and you don't dare to order hard dishes, and you have to count more than 100 copper to buy a newspaper, which is really inconvenient.

……

Straight to the point.

Chen Qiang counted it, counting the silver dollar, he had a total of seven cents and three cents in his hand, which was all his property.

According to the price at that time, if a piece of seven cents was used for food, it would save some money to be able to eat Chen Qiang for more than a month. But since Chen Qiang decided to repay Tong, this seven cents is the capital he used to buy the newspaper.

"This money should be enough to get the newspaper from the newspaper seller, and after taking the newspaper, it must be sold all the day, if the newspaper is not sold, it will be pressed into the hand, and there will be no capital to buy a new newspaper. Go to bed early today and go to the newspaper seller early tomorrow. ”

Chen Qiang put the money away, fell asleep, he wanted to have a good rest, and get up early tomorrow to sell newspapers.

Within a few minutes, the sound of even breathing sounded from Chen Qiang's body, and he had already fallen asleep.

……

"Training space open...... A cold voice woke Chen Qiang up, and he opened his eyes sharply to find himself standing next to a pillar. There are four signs nailed to the pillars, pointing in four different directions: east, west, north and south.

Chen Qiang looked at the signs, each of which indicated a different location.

"Athletic field, tennis court, basketball hall, swimming pool, table tennis hall, physical training center...... It's all stadiums! Chen Qiang muttered to himself, and at the same time looked around, only to see that there were buildings around him, which should be the stadium mentioned on the road sign from the appearance.

Chen Qiang walked directly to the nearest building, which was the physical training center pointed to by the sign.

Chen Qiang walked to the door of the physical training center and pushed the door, but found that the door did not move.

"Is it locked?" Chen Qiang said secretly in his heart.

At the same time, the cold voice sounded again: "I don't have enough points to use the physical training center." ”

"Who's talking? Where does the sound come from! Chen Qiang was frightened, and then looked around, only to find that the line of sight was empty except for himself.

There was no one around, but there were people talking, which made Chen Qiang feel creepy, and he felt scared.

"Anyone? Excuse me, anyone? Chen Qiang began to shout around, and his voice became louder and louder, while he carefully observed the surroundings, but no one answered, and there was no wind and grass around him.

The surroundings were very quiet, but the quieter it was, the more uneasy Chen Qiang became, he instinctively felt that it was better to leave here, so he took a step and walked in the other direction.

The building in front is a table tennis hall, and there is a big table tennis racket sign at the door.

Chen Qiang trotted all the way over, and then pushed the door, which was still locked.

"I don't have enough points to use the table tennis hall." That cold voice sounded for the third time.

Chen Qiang shuddered again, and at this time he finally realized that this voice was actually coming from the sky.

The sky was cloudless, a clear blue, and at the same time there was no sunlight.

"There is no one in the sky." Chen Qiang felt more and more strange here, and the fear in his heart became a little stronger, and he quickly ran to another venue.

However, when he walked to the door again, Chen Qiang suddenly hesitated, according to the experience of the previous two times, every time he pushed the door, that cold voice would sound.

"Try again." Chen Qiang pushed the door of the building.

Sure enough, the cold voice fell from the sky again: "I don't have enough points to use the sports rehabilitation center." ”

This time, Chen Qiang was prepared, so he was not frightened, but showed an expression of "as I expected".

Next, Chen Qiang began to think about the content of the voice.

"This voice says that the points are insufficient and cannot be used, which means that if you want to go in, you must have points, but how should you get these points?"

When Chen Qianggang was thinking about how to obtain this so-called "point", a row of words suddenly appeared out of thin air on his head.

"Where did this thing come from?" Chen Qiang was startled, and then saw the content of the text:

Novice task, run 10,000 meters, the task completion time is not limited, and the task reward: 100 points. Acceptable?

"Earn points through missions, so that's it. This task is to run 10,000 meters, although the distance is not short, but there is no time limit, that is, you can run slowly. It's simple and acceptable for this task. ”

As soon as the thought of "accepting the task" flashed in Chen Qiang's mind, the words on his head changed.

In the task, run 10,000 meters; Completion Progress: 0%; Time Remaining: Unlimited.

"Is this the mission? Come on, then run, run 10,000 meters, get those 100 points, and you should be able to enter these stadiums! Chen strengthened his courage, then took a step and began to run.

Chen Qiang's pace is not too fast, he just runs at the speed of his usual morning exercises, running for more than a minute, and about 200 meters.

"The current completion rate should be 2%." Chen Qiang said secretly in his heart.

As soon as he looked up, he saw the text floating above his head, which read: In the mission, run 10,000 meters; Completion Progress: 0%; Time Remaining: Unlimited.

"The completion progress is still 0%, I should have run 200 meters in this minute! Could it be that the distance is too short to be displayed? Or is there a delay in data statistics? ”

Thinking of this possibility, Chen Qiang continued to run.

Ten minutes later. The content on the electronic screen is still the same: in the task, run 10,000 meters; Completion Progress: 0%; Time Remaining: Unlimited.

"0% completion? Make no mistake, although I didn't run fast, I ran at least 2,000 meters in these 10 minutes, right? How is it still 0% completion? Could it be that the speed of running is too slow? ”

Chen Qiang thought of this and quickened his pace.

After running for 5 minutes, Chen Qiang already felt very tired, but the completion rate was still 0%.

Chen Qiang suddenly became angry.

"I've been running for so long, and the completion of the task hasn't been long at all, this thing shouldn't lie to me!"
