The Hermit has two hundred Shadow Coins in his account, which is two million when converted into federal currency.

This huge sum of money can solve Char's urgent needs, not only can he fill his stomach and pay the rent, but he can even directly buy dream potions to solve the headaches that plague him.

Char had some interest in becoming a dream builder, but after he decided that the Dream Come True project was a hoax, most of that interest faded.

The question is, how can I exchange Shadowcoins for federal currency?

Through the black market in the mouth of the Red Witch?

Char's face was covered with a fog, and the Scarlet Witch and Merlin didn't see that he was in ecstasy.

"Of course I know it's not easy. Shadow Coins are so sought-after that I've been to the black market that everyone wants to buy Shadow Coins with federal currency, but very few people sell them. And... Federal law prohibits the trading of Shadowcoins and federal currencies. While I thought of ways to bypass federal surveillance, but... There are always some risks. ”

Merlin looked up and said in chagrin.

"The higher the risk, the greater the benefit. You are already a wizard, and the Federation's surveillance is a child's trick in our eyes. Even the most lame wizard won't be caught by the Federation when trading Shadow Coins. ”

The Scarlet Witch laughed.

“...”

Hearing the conversation between the Red Witch and Merlin, Char felt like a basin of cold water had been poured on her, and her heart was cold.

Swap between Shadow Coins and Federation Currencies is illegal!

Of course, hackers have many ways to sell or buy Shadow Coins through the black market without being detected by the Federation.

Char has the name of a great witch, but he doesn't understand hackers at all.

If Char rashly goes to the black market to sell Shadow Coins, his true identity is likely to be revealed.

Worst of all, his identity is exposed to the Federation, not to other wizards.

As far as Char knew, the Federation had a deep hatred of hacking.

Federal law is very strict about cyber hacking.

If Char's identity as a great witch is made public, he will not only be imprisoned, but in the most serious case, he will even be sentenced to death.

"I have a lot of money, but I can't even buy three meals a day? It's ridiculous too. Char couldn't help but smile bitterly, life is impermanent, there are ups and downs, and the plan to make a fortune has not yet been planned, but I didn't expect it to become a dream bubble in just a few seconds.

Char can take risks and make deals with the Red Witch or Merlin.

Shadow Street is an encrypted network that allows him to give Shadow Coins directly to other wizards. However, how the other wizards could transfer the federal currency to Char's account was a difficult problem.

Char is a cautious person, and of course he will not reveal his true identity for the sake of petty profits.

"In fact, the wizards of Shadow Street are very reluctant to trade in Shadow Coins." The slender legs under the Red Witch's robe loomed, "The original intention of the Great Witches to design the Shadow Coin was not a tool for profit, but a bargaining chip to buy the truth. Whoever has more chips will get closer to the truth of this world. ”

"I get that. I spent a lot of time hacking some resources. These resources sell very well on the Internet. But I worked hard to give these resources to Bob and ask him to help me sell them, but no one cared about them. Merlin frowned and glanced in Bob's direction.

"You give Bob the resources? An artificial intelligence? No matter how hard he tried, he pretended to be a human and even passed the Turing test. However, I know that he is a program, an artificial intelligence. ”

The Red Witch smiled coldly, "Giving the information to Bob for consignment is really trouble-free, and it can also protect the identity information from being leaked." However, this is not a good idea. As for the reason, you will slowly understand it later. ”

"Bob the bartender is artificial intelligence? Not a real person? Char was stunned and surprised.

Bob stands behind the bar 24 hours a day, greeting guests as if he were tireless. From any point of view, Char could not see that he was a program.

"Bob can sell or buy information there without revealing his identity, which is a very important piece of information!" Char nodded secretly.

"You give me the directory of those cracked resources, and I'll help you see if it's valuable." The Scarlet Witch said to Merlin.

"Great, thank you!" Merlin nodded hurriedly and passed the catalog to the Red Witch, as well as Char a copy.

Char looked through the catalog and found that some of them were the curriculum resources of some large educational institutions on the Internet.

Among them, there are literature, history, and philosophy, which Char urgently needs, as well as books and courses in aesthetics, music, art, and other majors.

Educational resources are monopolized by large educational institutions on the Internet, and only the wealthy in the upper cities can afford them.

Over the years, Merlin has spent a lot of time deciphering and collecting these resources, selling them to those who need them at a low price, and even giving them to the poor in the lower cities for free.

Of course, this infringement violated federal law, and Merlin had to be more careful.

"Worthless." The Red Witch only glanced at it, then slowly shook her head, her ruby eyes sparkling, stared at Merlin, and said, "You are a gifted young man. Why waste your time and talent on this pointless thing to hack the curriculum resources of educational institutions? What's the use of these things? I dare say that it's only a matter of time before any wizard on Shadow Street wants to crack these resources. ”

"I just don't understand, what do wizards need? What kind of news are wizards interested in and will spend Shadow Coins to buy? Merlin shook his head, dazed.

"The recipe for the genetic potion, the blueprint of the mechanical prosthetic, the blueprint of the new weapon, the news of the relics of the various eras, and... The truth. The Scarlet Witch pondered her sentences, trying to speak in a vocabulary that Merlin, a newcomer could understand.

"It turned out to be these... Truly. Compared to these messages, the course resources I worked so hard to crack are simply rubbish! ”

Merlin's eyes lit up at the Scarlet Witch's point, and although it was difficult to find valuable news, he at least had a direction.

"But I still don't understand, what is the truth?" Merlin asked.

"The truth... It is the path of human evolution, the passage to the origin of the universe. There are many ways to do this, maybe it's some kind of drug, maybe it's an experiment, maybe it's a prosthetic modification, or maybe it's a wonderful trip. The Red Witch's eyes twinkled, and she said.

"I see. The truth is the way to become a supernatural. If that's the truth, I know some... ”

Merlin suddenly realized and muttered something in a low voice, but his voice was so small that the Red Witch and Char didn't hear it.

"Evolution... The Stranger..."

Char suddenly realized.

Everything in the world is constantly evolving, and so are human beings.

In this era, the explosive progress of science and technology has accelerated the speed of human evolution.

Some of the human beings have acquired abilities beyond ordinary people through some channel and have become supernatural beings.
