Chapter 18: There is no money
Wang Yonghao sat here and looked at the heavily guarded road below, and the endless flow of convoys was a little stunned.
This is the main road that connects the Lookout Lodge and the Human Kingdom to Cité Soleil.
According to Wang Yonghao's requirements, it is basically to open the mountain when encountering the mountain, build a bridge when encountering the water, and build a straight road to pass at the exact same altitude.
And because the chief engineer of the road construction has a weak ability to control the manual tunneling, he uses gunpowder blasting to destroy the mountain on a large scale.
To put it bluntly, because the old cannon who was a dynamite merchant is willing to use explosives to explode, he doesn't listen to the goblin engineer Dom's advice on what tunnels to dig for.
Flattening all the way is his style.
And Sun City to the human kingdom, in addition to the winding waterway that needs to turn two large bays, in fact, it is this land route that mainly plays a role in transportation.
The road from the human kingdom to Harbour City is still the closest and fastest land route.
Before Wang Yonghao's town of Yonghao established and maintained these roads, merchants were gambling to get from one place to another.
For the people who travel at night, they didn't even have to think about it before.
Before nightfall, they had to rush to a specific shelter, or they would have to build a makeshift shelter in the wilderness.
That's why at that time there were lookouts, inns, or other important places on the trade routes, where traders had to arrive at night.
Because your makeshift shelter can't withstand the onslaught of monsters that appear at night for a long time.
And now, as long as there is a road built by Wang Yonghao, there are soldiers in the guards on both sides who resist the attack of monsters in the night every moment.
It was they who kept the road open, and the merchants could rush at night.
This is why Wang Yonghao can speak so hard now, and no one on this continent dares to call him.
It doesn't matter if he is a god or not, it is his power that maintains and opens up the operation of the entire continent.
The monsters that appeared on the earth when they came down can be said to be everyone's nightmare, which is why so many people worship the sun god.
In the minds of the universal natives of the entire world of Terraria, the sun is the only force that drives away all evil.
And Wang Yonghao, who was sitting on the hillside, could clearly see that those half-finished monsters after the transformation of the world's origin had brought tremendous pressure to the guards who had doubled their number.
These are things that can't be seen in the city.
Only in the wild can you see how hard it takes for the guards of Sun City to ensure the lives of those who kick shuttlecocks, play poker, square dance, and twist Yangge in the city square. (Note 1)
You must know that at the beginning of the construction of the road, there was a question of why not cover the continent with a shed.
Make the road like a building so that I can't attack?
But in fact, before Wang Yonghao came here with the ability of the system and the rules of the game, no force in the entire continent had the ability to do this.
And this continent aside, even if it is controlled by a certain god alone, faith has overridden everything, and the control is absolute, and this kind of project cannot be completed.
For example, in medieval Europe, someone slapped their heads and said, "I'm going to build a system of roads that connect all European cities across Europe, and then the road system will be at the same elevation and with a lid."
I don't know, Europe didn't do this kind of thing, but the ancient Chinese emperors did a lot, and of course they didn't put a lid on the road.
Perhaps this is the difference between Wang Yonghao and the natives.
Sitting here and watching for a while, Wang Yonghao had no intention of helping, although these soldiers had to waste some strength to resist the lungs, they could still maintain.
It is estimated that when the blood moon comes, Wang Yonghao's transcontinental transportation system will face a difficult test!
Because at that time, the strengthened power of the evil god will completely erode all the monsters on the entire continent.
In the case of the power that is not the same, in the face of the bonus of the blood moon, how miserable it is!
But looking at the guards every 50 meters on both sides of the road and these wandering guards, Wang Yonghao suddenly understood that he was going bankrupt.
Because he wanted to add a [Minishark] heavy machine gun to every guardhouse......
The official selling price of a [Mini Shark] is 30 gold coins, counting the relationship between Wang Yonghao and Duke Pigshark and its owner Cthulhu, the cost price of a 10 gold coins should be able to be won.
But how many guards there are on the entire Sun Island continent is no longer something that Wang Yonghao can count.
Wang Yonghao no longer knew how crazy he was about the installation of the entire mainland army.
And more importantly, Wang Yonghao himself has no money!
At that time, he was so poor that he was left with famine, except for foreign debts.
He was just as striking as he found a large platinum vein and a half-lived vein of gold and gem.
He had robbed the treasure trove of the Forest Elf Palace from the Hobbit world and the dwarven treasury of the Lone Mountain of Iruber.
He also owns a treasure trove of the Egyptian temple of Seth, the god of war, full of gold.
……
He seems to have a lot of treasure troves in his possession, and three floors of his temple are completely filled with gold, silver, and jewels, and that's a stable inner space for each floor to be the equivalent of a giant gymnasium!
But he didn't have any money!
In the world of Terraria, coins are an equivalent trade item, and it is the aforementioned god of money and his followers who own the creation and issuance of coins.
Although this god is a kind and orderly ancient god, but don't just look at him as kind, if you want him to be kind, you have to "keep order".
This primeval god has waged many wars since ancient times to destroy the people, forces, and gods or organizations of gods who are trying to build their own monetary system and issue their own currency.
Therefore, almost all the things that Wang Yonghao has are not the treasure trove of this world.
And the veins he owns are even more of a joke, do you know how expensive currency is in the world of Terraria?
A [Gold Ingot], an adult [Gold Ingot] that is palm-long, palm-wide, and three-finger thick, must be made of pure gold and can smelt at least thirty gold coins!
Can only be sold for 12 credits!
The exchange ratio of gold and silver coins is 1:100, and one pure gold ingot weighs 30 gold coins.
This selling price is still the price at which the middleman makes the difference and then takes the goods directly from the believers of the god of money.
It's literally the top 10 jokes in the history of the game!
It's even more ridiculous than riding and slashing the world's top 10 incredible names, the Rusty Wooden Hammer!
However, this is the reality, the god of money is the most awesome ancient god, because he has mastered the rules, the rules of money.
Magma is awesome, general items are melted directly, but currency will not, because of the rules!
Death Star's Super Laser Cannon Cow No?
A single reactor ignites and directly destroys a city, so the awesome attack hits the ground, except for the equipment with the prefix of the god word, all melted, but the currency will not!
After recovering from Roshan to human form, along the way out of the hell that was bombed by the Death Star, the most harvested is [Copper Coins]!
That's the rule!
Therefore, Wang Yonghao's rich can suffocate to death lying in gold, and melt gold to fill a swimming pool the size of a football field, but he can't exchange it for equivalent currency.
He has no money!
If he wants to pay for the entire army to equip a set of standard weapons, Wang Yonghao estimates that in the end, he will have to melt all the golden dragons he brought back from the world of "The Hobbit".
Even whether the golden tripod of the temple can stay or not is two words!
