Chapter 146: A New Urban Legend
Pete's mood at this time was very excited, and at the same time of excitement, there was a strong panic, because just today, there was a large-scale absence in his class, and the reason was very simple.
The classmates who had bullied him were all stripped naked and hung on street lamp poles.
I heard that everyone has a sign hanging on their body with the words "Transaction Completed" written on it.
Although this is not too abrupt for Beckland, who has obviously increased the number of crimes in recent days, Pitt is well aware that all of this stems from the coin he thrown.
After the man disappeared, he returned home with the coin, and after witnessing the surreal events, his heart of the middle two that belonged to a young man burned, and when he returned home, he also tried to find the source of the coin, but no country had ever issued such a strange coin.
He thought about asking for a sum of money with the coin, or learning supernatural abilities, but the sight of the heart and gold bars on the scales on the coin made him suppress the thought.
I have to say that in Victoria, a country with a strong religious atmosphere, there are still many fables related to things like making deals with demons, as for why the man was judged to be a demon...... In the eyes of the Crucidians, only Yahweh can bestow miracles, and users of supernatural powers other than Yahweh can be called demons.
Originally, Pete wanted to collect the coins as a memento of a strange experience, but in the following days, under the bullying of his classmates, he finally made his choice.
People are sometimes such strange creatures, when they don't have the ability to resist, they can endure no matter how painful the encounter, but once they have the means to resist, their endurance will immediately drop significantly.
In a moment of impulse, he threw a note with the words "I hope that the people who bullied me will be punished" into the No. 13 storage box at Princeton Station along with the coin, and as a result, the next morning, all the classmates who had bullied him were turned into street lamp pendants.
……
What happened to Pete is not an isolated case, since the arrest of the murderer codenamed "Shadow Ghost", a new "criminal" has appeared in Beckland again-
Underage children are hung from street lamp poles, cars parked in other parking spaces suddenly disappear, and even the mysterious death of an inmate in a prison is all connected by a sign that reads "Deal Completed" is always found next to the victim.
And as time went on, this matter slowly began to ferment, and a new urban legend began to circulate on Beckland's social media -
In Beckland, you can occasionally meet a young Asian who asks you for help, and if you help him, you will receive a delicate coin, wrap it in a note with a wish, drop it into the location that the other person tells you, and the other person will help you make a wish come true.
From finding cats and dogs, treating diseases and saving people, to assassinating and revenge, kidnapping and robbing prisons, there seems to be nothing that cannot be done, but on the contrary, not every wisher has got the results he wants.
For example, a man seems to have made a wish to "want money that cannot be spent in a lifetime", and the day after this wish was made, there was a sign in his home that needed to be counted in tons of gold and a "transaction completed", but before he could be happy, the news came on the news that the central bank of Beckland was stolen, and this person was arrested in a very short time, and it was precisely because of his confession that the story of this wishing coin really spread.
However, as the rumors spread more and more, and the number of "deal completed" signs appeared, people also roughly summarized some patterns.
That is the "legitimacy" of the transaction itself, but this legitimacy does not seem to be based on Victorian law, but a very simple "moral concept", in the words of Yan Guo, that is, "to repay virtue with virtue, to repay grievances with straightforwardness, to pay for life with murder, and to repay debts".
If this morality is met, it is easy to assassinate a criminal with an underconvict who is too lenient even if he infiltrates the top prison in the whole of Victoria, but if he wants what he should not have, he will incur bad consequences.
Having said that, the value of this coin still attracted the attention of many people, some people spent a lot of money to buy a coin, and some people searched the streets for Asian youth, so that all of a sudden, the life of Asian Americans in Beckland became much better.
……
As the initiator of everything, Feng Xue was full of joy to arrive in front of the public locker at St. George's Station, to check if anyone had made a wish, for each coin, he informed different places, although it was a little troublesome, but it could avoid being squatted to the greatest extent.
"Oh, no...... It seems that the person who got the coin this time has more ideas! Finding that there were no coins in the locker, Feng Xue didn't care very much, whether the other party used the coin to make a wish, but sold it to someone else at a high price, this is a manifestation of "value".
And the facts did reflect his conjecture, because just last night, he made the first real illusion -
Name: Phantom handmade coin
Elements: [Transaction], [Currency], [Precious], [Valuable]
Introduction: A beautiful handmade coin, give it to any target with the knowledge of "trading", and you can ask the other party to do something within your ability.
Note: Remember, a trade is just a trade.
……
There is no doubt that this is a seemingly ordinary, but extremely practical fantasy object, but just like the coin monster created by Feng Xue, those who are too greedy and cause misfortune, this coin will become poor and powerless after going beyond "you love me".
As mentioned in the introduction, trading is just trading, not brainwashing, and it can't really distort a person's cognition, even if Feng Xue forcibly buys a top-level phantom object from someone else with a coin, the other party can also throw the coin back and buy the phantom object back.
However, no matter what, Feng Xue's success is undoubtedly a good start, not only did he create his first phantom creation in the true sense, but also understood how to develop manufacturing labels such as [Chef] and "Scribe".
As long as he follows this line of thought, sooner or later he can create a fantasy cheat without relying on a golden finger - as long as enough people believe that he is copying the cheats.
"It's a pity that this is Victoria, and there is no market for sending cheats on the street, and it is easy to be regarded as a pervert of LT fetish."
Feng Xue muttered twice dissatisfied, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and immediately walked towards the supermarket-
The cheats are not adapted to the soil and water in Victoria, so what about the medicinal diet with special effects?
It's normal for demonic cuisine to have a magical effect, isn't it?
Regarding the statement of inferior coins, this has nothing to do with the copper content, the main thing is that the main character is made by grinding off the pattern on the coin first, and then re-engraving, so the coin will become thinner, the feel will be very poor, and the texture will be lacking, so to speak, a thick coin or a small metal disc, which is more like a currency? Even if the small disc is pure gold, it can only be called gold leaf, not gold coin, right?
So the protagonist's approach is to make a furnace or something like that, melt the penny coin and then recast it, so that the thickness is guaranteed and the feel is good.
