Chapter Twenty-Three: I Am Rich

Randall was clear and blunt.

For a while, almost no one spoke again.

Wei Yuanwu, who still wanted to ask three questions of wisdom, silently closed his mouth and sat down honestly on the somewhat old wooden bench.

Father Randall's scrutinizing gaze swept over everyone, naturally making people feel uncomfortable: "It seems that everyone has listened to my words, these are absolute prohibitions, as long as you don't touch them, ordinary life is still very easy." As for the other details - because of the uniqueness of the Night City Calamity, it is not rich and the population is not large, but there are more than 30,000 people living here, and you will understand it when you are part of it. I won't answer them all, and I won't give more guidance. ”

Before Landall's words fell, Ye Fang, who was sitting in the back position, suddenly asked, "Can teleportation go to other continents?" I've heard you say that this is the Eastern Continent before, so there must be other continents, right? ”

"I don't know if there are other continents, the Eastern Continent is just a habitual name, but, the teleportation channel of the Heavenly Council can only travel between the Eastern Continent, and there must be churches of the Heavenly Council on both sides." Landall glanced at Ye Fang deeply and said, "And the cost of transmission is very high, each person or every twenty pounds of goods needs two hundred old Japanese coins. ”

Old Japanese Currency ......

Ye Fanggang wanted to ask a question, but was cut off by another person.

Xu Tianrui's eyes were full of excitement and asked, "Mr. God, how can we have extraordinary power?" ”

This sentence instantly grabbed everyone's attention.

Randall glanced at him with some indifference: "This is the last question. There is only one way to become extraordinary, and that is to gain the approval of the Hallows Artifact. Each Celestial Council enshrines a number of holy artifacts, and if you can get their approval, you can gain their heritage and power, and achieve extraordinary things. The only way to do this is to believe in evil gods or become semi-dark creatures, such as vampires, but, invitees, I promise you that you will never want to go down either path, so the only way to do this is through the Hallows. ”

Ye Fang frowned. How did the three paths that Sophia said become one in the mouth of this priest?

Randall's voice continued: "The Celestial Council of Night City has five holy weapons, and you can all try to see if they can be recognized. ”

At this moment, everyone showed interested looks, and some even showed their eagerness to try it immediately, and they couldn't hide their expressions at all.

Gu Tong's eyes flashed, and he thought of what he would look like as a magical girl......

There are only five Hallows in the Hallows, doesn't that mean that only five people have a chance to become extraordinary? First come, first served!

"Mr. Priest, may I try it?"

"I ...... I want to try it too! ”

However, Randall's next words were like a basin of cold water poured over everyone's heads.

"However, as I said, the Celestial Council will not give alms, and every time you try, you will need to pay an old Japanese coin, and besides, I must tell you that five years ago we had ten holy artifacts here, and in these five years there were countless people who tried to inherit them, but now, we have five left...... Well...... You don't know what old yen coins are yet. After Randall said this, everyone in the audience fell silent.

As he spoke, Randall also took out a coin that Ye Fang was very familiar with and engraved with strange tentacle creatures, and said in a deep voice: "This is the old Japanese currency, we also call it the old currency, the only universal currency in our world." ”

At this moment, the expressions of Xu Tianrui, Gu Tong and the others were completely stiff.

They suddenly understood a truth that is difficult for a student to really understand: no matter how the world changes and how the end of the world is, money may never be able to buy everything you need, but without money, it will never work.

Gu Tong also took out a hundred yuan bill from his pocket and glanced at it, his eyes were extremely complicated.

Ye Fang, on the other hand, weighed the seventeen coins in his arms that were exactly the same as those in Randall's hand, and looked at the room of stunned classmates, and his mood was also a little complicated.

These coins are indeed money.

Ye Fang found that he seemed to be very rich now.

Wei Yuanwu and Lin Di cast strange glances at the same time.

Randall still said with a blank face: "Of course, as I said, you are not the first invitees to come here, so I know very well that you don't have any money at all, so the Heavenly Council is willing to provide you with an opportunity to trade." ”

Gu Tong frowned: "Mr. Priest, what does this mean?" ”

Randall shook his head, "I mean, you can trade things that have the 'technology' characteristic of you, such as a mobile phone, a watch, or something like that, just like that, for an old Japanese coin." The size of the Night City Safe Zone is not large, so the purchasing power of the old Japanese dollar is still okay, one dollar is enough for you to find a house or buy about two pounds of black grass bread, so this exchange ratio is enough for you to survive the early days and find a way to make a living in the safe zone. Moreover, I suggest you exchange it, those technological products of yours are of no use here, and without money, not only will you have no place to live, but you will starve to death. ”

The classmates sitting here, you look at me, I look at you, their expressions are a little wooden, and after a while, Hu Jiaming stood up and took the initiative to hand over his mobile phone, or a full two.

An Apple 11, a Huawei P30, successfully swapped back ......

Two coins.

Two bucks.

Hu Jiaming's face was very complicated.

In the face of reality, most of us chose to compromise, stood up one after another, and exchanged mobile phones, watches and other things for the old coins of this world.

Some students also want to exchange school uniforms for money: "Father, you see that my clothes are also a product of science and technology, made by the factory automation assembly line, see if you can ...... it"

"I can't." Randall shook his head, no room for negotiation written on his face.

Except for electronic technology creations, Randall didn't want anything else.

Seeing that the mobile phone has become someone else's like this, everyone is a little painful, and the worst thing is that those who only have one mobile phone in their hands can only exchange it for one dollar.

Originally, Ye Fang would also be the most miserable type of person, but in fact, he was the richest person here.

Wei Yuanwu and Lin Di also got up and planned to go to exchange them, but Ye Fang took two steps and stuffed three coins into the hands of the two of them.

"This is ......" Although Wei Yuanwu knew that Ye Fang had the twelve yuan of the vampire in his hand, he didn't plan to share it with Ye Fang, in his opinion, the vampire was killed by Ye Fang, and the money was also Ye Fang's spoils, where was he eligible to share it?

Ye Fang didn't think so, he didn't forget that when these two people were anxiously trying to find a way for themselves who were unconscious, he smiled: "I take the lion's share, I'll take six, and the two of you will have three each." ”

Lin Di's expression was a little complicated, but he didn't refuse, and quietly put away the coins handed over by Ye Fang: "Thank you." ”

Wei Yuanwu still wanted to say something, but was directly pushed by Ye Fang to the crowd over there.

But Ye Fang then quietly left while everyone was around at this time.

Even if the phone is about to run out of battery, he doesn't plan to exchange it for money.

Because he still has a full eleven old Japanese coins in his hand, plus kerosene lamps, pocket watches and wordless books, if Ye Fang really compares with his classmates, he will already be a "local tyrant" at this time.

But he didn't plan to stay any longer, the Night City had already been found, and he had a lot of secrets on him, and it would be more beneficial for him to act without another relationship with everyone.

From now on, develop, look for your way home.

The safe zone of Night City is small and "backcountry", so go where it is bigger, where there are more people, more powerful and more opportunities.

In that kind of place, you will definitely find your way back to Earth.

Although Randall said that there was no way back, Ye Fang didn't think much of it, he said that there was no possibility that he was hiding, or it was something he didn't know.

In that case, it is necessary to save money first.

Pinching the eleven coins in his pocket, Ye Fang felt that two hundred yuan should be easy to save.
