Chapter 897: Shendu - Akamagan
Currency"
The transaction currency used by [Shendu-Akamagan] is neither banknotes, nor gold, silver and copper coins, nor is it a bartering transaction method.
In this 'deformed' city there is a unique and irreproducible currency that is closely linked to the life of the individual.
In order to obtain such a currency, an individual must undergo a kind of "wallet surgery".
Han Dong enjoyed such an operation for free inside the Colosseum.
A black tubular container (purse) is implanted in the right forearm, and due to the large size of the container, half of the purse will be exposed on the surface of the right arm.
The exposed tube-shaped container is also marked with a capacity scale.
The "Wallet" is also equipped with a dedicated interface for "Receipt" and "Payment".
Since wallets are embedded containers, the currency is also clear...... [Blackwater].
Known as the 'Origin of All Things' and 'The Root of Gods', Black Water is the only currency in circulation in this deformed city.
Of course, as Han Dong initially tested, there are inherently good and bad points in black water.
This kind of black water, which circulates in large quantities in the Divine Capital as a unified currency, is of a higher quality than what Han Dong has seen on the outside of the planet...... Judging from Han Dong's test results, it is a 'medium to low' quality.
The black water saved in the container of Han Dong's arm, that is, two months' employment money, is exactly 200mL.
Blackwater below this quality cannot be identified by the "wallet".
Blackwater, which is higher than the general grade, will not be stored in the wallet and will be traded in a special way...... It's hard to trade generic blackwater for high-quality blackwater.
The 'high-end goods' comparable to diamonds in human society only circulate in high-rise or relatively dark corners.
……
The road is made up of large ribs and cement arranged in an even pattern.
A street lamp is a spherical luminous body similar to a firefly's body sac, which continuously provides light to the city.
To a certain extent, the houses in the city still retain the solid architectural style of ancient Egypt, such as squares, triangles, and other solid geometric shapes are often used in architectural design...... The alien creature mechanical style has also been added.
Physical features, which symbolize human tissue, are used in architecture.
For example, some column structures, similar to fingers or bones,
Some of the round vaults resemble a swirling large intestine,
A layer of soft material is added to the exterior of the wall, which is irregular and uneven, like the inner cavity of a living organism
There are even many buildings that completely abandon the inherent Egyptian architectural style, and directly build a grotesque style of "organ building" based on internal organs.
At the same time, the streets are also a scene of traffic.
A variety of living vehicles wrapped in skeletal shells and musculature drive quickly through the road.
Some vehicles retain the organism's 'legs' and feet, while others use the 'wheel' structure, but all of these vehicles need to use [Blackwater] as the driving energy.
Drivers sit in the vehicle's 'body cavity', warm and comfortable, and can even perform indescribable activities.
As for the passers-by walking on the streets, they all look like they are 'fully armed'.
or with a group of able-bodied slaves,
or equip your arms with a bone-like living weapon,
Or just put on a full set of exoskeleton armor,
It seems that robberies often occur in the Shinto.
Regarding the slavery and the bill in Shendu, Han Dong has not read it...... But such a serious division of slavery also determined that the city must not be very stable.
Come to think of it.
Han Dong touched the "John's backbone" embedded in his back.
He himself has a piece of self-defense equipment, and he also carries the 'slave' of Mary Thys, and he is no different from other pedestrians when he looks at the mountains, and is generally not targeted.
Even if you are in trouble, you can move out the [Colosseum] signboard.
Judging from the huge building corresponding to the [Colosseum], such an organization can be regarded as at least a medium-sized organization in the Divine Capital.
"That's what it is...... Shendu? A city born from the combination of high-end biotechnology and ancient Egyptian civilization...... It was an eye-opener. ”
When Han Dong saw this scene, there was a hint of yearning in his eyes.
Compared with the skyscrapers, network communications, and electronic technology in the world before his death, Han Dong prefers such a biomass-based world.
may be closely related to Han Dong's own profession.
Standing on the street and looking at the city for the first time, Han Dong's body trembled slightly with excitement, and he couldn't help but want to deeply analyze such a beautiful city.
"It's our first time in the Divine Capital, so it's better to disguise ourselves as much as possible...... Miss Marytise, can you follow the example of the other 'slaves' and bow your head after me. ”
"You!! No way...... I disagree! ”
Mary Tiss is a dignified atavistic body, she has already done a lot of mental work for herself to become Han Dong's 'temporary slave', and now she actually wants her to really pretend to be a slave and follow behind.
Seeing this, Han Dong had no choice but to turn on another slave mode - partner.
There are also many people who do this on the street, and they are still in a state of hugging left and right - a beautiful and shy girl on the left, and a muscular man on the right.
Han Dong also followed the example of other slave masters, and his right hand slowly landed on Maritis's waist and hugged her towards him.
A completely different touch.
It's not the same touch as Mia, Wino, Miss Jane, and Captain Charya...... Soft but very elastic, perhaps related to the special material of toad skin.
Also because Marithes belongs to amphibians, there is a lot of water.
As soon as Han Dong hugged him like this, his palms were covered with water...... Slippery and soft.
“…… Reluctantly allow you to do so. ”
This kind of behavior will not make Mary Tise feel 'inferior'.
At the same time, Han Dong's name was also recorded in her mating book by Mary Tith...... Close contact is also permitted.
If this scene were reported back to the Holy City, the councillors would probably be speechless in surprise, inside the city was a good knight who obeyed the law, but outside the city was hugging the atavistic body......
Soon.
Han Dong found a regular hotel that looked pretty good.
A pot-bellied boss is wearing a "nerve-connected" skull helmet and watching a memory movie embedded in the helmet.
Feel the proximity of the guests.
An oversized muscle shotgun was directly aimed at Han Dong's head, greeting customers in this way.
"How long?"
"You can live as long as you want."
"Huh?"
When the boss took off the skull helmet, Han Dong also showed a domino that could represent the [Colosseum].
"It turned out to be the people of the Colosseum...... Let's give you a discount.
For long stays, an average of 1.5 ml a day. 10 days' advance payment is required. ”
As soon as the boss finished speaking, he stretched out his own arm and touched Han Dong's arm...... If the subjective consciousness allows, the "wallet" docks and completes the transaction
