Chapter 64: Humble God, Do It Yourself

Walking in Exchange Square, there are stalls along the way selling everything.

Even Su Nian saw quite a few stalls selling real currency here, and these stall owners exchanged for blood embers for 2500:1.

Over the years, there has been a rise in the idea that all people will eventually be called into Hell.

It is the emergence of this voice that makes many people start to take precautions.

Authentic wealth cannot be brought into Infernal City, so the idea of exchanging real-life wealth for Scarlet Ember through the Infernal City Marketplace was born.

This is an issue that the top management of the Earth Cities Alliance has always been concerned about and managed.

Because after the emergence of this cross-border transaction model, it has seriously affected the status of real money.

Real money acts as a medium of exchange and has no real value in itself.

But unlike the Blood Ember, this currency can be both a medium of exchange and an actual lifespan.

What can be purchased with embers can be directly applied to itself, rather than being saved as assets in the form of items such as houses and cars.

Superpowers, longevity, weaponry...... The true value of the Blood Ember is much stronger than that of real money, especially in these years of increased recruitment frequency.

What's more, the Blood Ember bypasses real-world taxes.

There was a time when the conscription group began to use the Blood Ember as the mainstream trading currency in reality.

This is an outcome that the top brass of the Earth Alliance does not want to see.

However, the effect of management is very limited, after all, the power of the Earth City Alliance cannot set foot in Purgatory City.

There are also clear rules in Purgatory that conscripted warriors are not allowed to engage in any kind of combat in the city, so they can only interfere with this kind of trading through real channels.

But the effect of the intervention is not obvious.

As long as the stall owner wears a mask and does not reveal his identity in the real world, he can trade real currency for blood embers with impunity.

The only way to solve this problem is to arbitrage real information in the way of a trader, and lock the target for arrest in real trading.

But it still can't eradicate the constant buying and selling of currency exchange embers.

Over the years, the price of real money for embers has risen from 500:1 to 2,500:1.

For the foreseeable future, the value of real-world currency exchange embers will continue to depreciate.

The era when all humanity is called is no longer a contemplated future, but a fact that is happening.

This has also led to the emergence of social order problems in recent years, and the management of the Earth City Alliance has gradually weakened, and the whole society is sliding towards the last crazy moment of order collapse.

After walking in the trading market for a long time, Su Nian saw all kinds of strange trading patterns here.

At that moment, a faction prompt rang in his head.

[Faction Hint (Shadow City): Shadow Warrior Shadow Song completes the main quest and returns to Shadow City.] 】

Side quest 4: ......

……

Explore the Crypt Worm Valley scene, and complete a total of seven side quests.

Spend a total of 2,300 Shadow Ember on missions.

This expense was deducted directly from his Ember Flame and transmitted to Shadow Song, who had just returned to Purgatory City.

Realizing that the next step was to deal with the strengthening of shadow songs, or the purchase of goods, Su Nian immediately looked at Ji Yun beside him:

"Ah Yun, I have something to do for a while, you continue to shop."

"Okay, you go get busy."

Ji Yun didn't ask him what was going on, and immediately nodded in understanding.

At this time, Su Nian turned around and went straight to the pyramid leading to his personal space, preparing to collect the material information needed by Yingge next.

The current Shadow City does not have a mall function, and Shadow Song can't buy anything even if it has embers.

He can only deal with this problem in the dumbest way.

At this stage, the biggest problem facing the development of Shadow City is the lack of complete functional facilities, especially the shopping mall and healing functions.

The Recruited Warriors returned to Shadowcity, generally wounded.

Normal injuries can be dealt with primary healing potions, but special injuries such as curses and severed limbs cannot be resolved with primary healing potions, and can only be fully repaired through a healing area similar to Purgatory City.

The same goes for the Marketplace feature.

Without the Marketplace, the embers obtained by the Shadow Warriors after their struggle cannot be consumed by purchasing supplies and other means, and at the same time gaining a combat power increase.

This problem gave Su Nian a headache, but there was no effective solution.

In particular, the missing part of Shadow City, the "Healing Ding", is stored in the museum, and it is not easy to get it back.

Many of the guards at the museum were veteran conscripts who had entered the inner city of Purgatory.

If he wants to bypass the defensive power and steal the healing ding, he doesn't have the corresponding strength yet.

When Su Nian passed through the invisible barrier and descended on the ruined temple, the godhead consciousness immediately swept towards Shadow Song who was in Shadow City 2.

At this time, Shadow Song was covered in injuries, and was sitting cross-legged in the center of the temple, meditating on his knees, healing his physical wounds by using his combat skills.

Seeing this scene, Su Nian began to build the mall panel through the faction editor.

Models items from the Purgatory Mall through the editor and places them on the Mall panel.

There is no way to directly connect to Shadow City in Purgatory City, so he can't directly display the Mall panel of Purgatory City in front of Shadow Song, and can only achieve his purpose indirectly in this way.

After spending half an hour building a rudimentary mall panel, he sent a faction tip to Shadow Song:

[Faction Hint: Whether to open the initial mall panel.] 】

Hearing the prompt sound in his head, Shadow Song opened his eyes, and then decisively chose to turn it on.

The humble mall panel edited by Su Nian appeared in Ying Ge's mind.

There are only 37 items available for purchase on it.

While looking through the mall, Yingge began to place an order and scan the goods.

Every time an order is successfully placed, a camp prompt will ring in Ying Ge's mind:

[Camp Prompt: The product has been purchased successfully, and the order information is being processed...... 】

When Yingge finished buying the goods, Su Nian decisively teleported to the Purgatory Commercial City and began to sweep the goods in front of the vending machine in the mall.

Primary healing elixir, spiritual repair elixir, antidote...... After purchasing all the items needed by Shadow Song, Su Nian rushed to the pyramid that led to his personal space.

After his body passed through the invisible barrier, he transmitted the purchased materials to Shadow Song in Shadow City 2.

I saw the dark green flames above Shadow Song's head surging and jumping, and clusters of dark green light scattered around Shadow Song, and after the light dissipated, it was the goods that Shadow Song bought.

After this busy trip, Su Nian was so tired that he was out of breath.

Thinking of the mysterious God of Purgatory, he sighed in his heart:

"It's also a camp god, and I'm too humble to be a bastard."
