MTL - My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!-Chapter 640 Deal, where have I seen you?

"Currency, the new lord of this origin territory dares to issue currency!" Looking at the trading room with a lot of people in front of him, Soma suddenly had a new understanding of this sudden lord.

It can't be said to be daring and enterprising, but it's just right to describe it as arrogant.

A new currency, even if it is not used for circulation with the outside world, but only facilitates transactions within the territory, there will never be fewer problems encountered.

First, the government recycles resources and converts them into currency for the people below to trade. Invisibly, the preservation of these resources will consume a lot of manpower and space.

Once there is any accident in the process of preservation, it will lead to a large shortage of resources and cannot satisfy everyone's run.

Then what is left must be a very serious collapse of official credit.

In light cases, everyone in the territory is in danger and fights their own way. In heavy cases, they rise up, dismount the lord, and redistribute resources. .

Second, the price of resources is not fixed as a tick mark, and there is no control force within the origin territory.

There are many merchants, and the consumption of more than 30,000 people is not a small number.

Maybe you can buy a cabbage with 1 currency today, but if the price of cabbage goes up tomorrow, you have to use 2 coins to buy it.

Most people just exchanged cabbage for a currency today and used it.

When I went to exchange it the next day, I found that I could only exchange half of the currency in my hand.

With such a terrifying asset shrinkage, it is difficult to maintain the stable operation of the currency for a long time. Once the price explodes, it will inevitably lead to turmoil.

Third, after reclaiming these materials, what did the lord of the origin territory do?

In the era of civilization, you can use these resources to trade with people, and replace more assets, so as to make the cake bigger, and the excess will become the income within the territory.

But in the apocalyptic wasteland, the circulation speed is extremely slow, so how can things be traded and appreciated in the hands.

Involve yourself in this currency system, once the assets of the territory are shorted.

Overnight, it is very likely that the economy of this origin territory will separate and collapse, and it will be owed to the outside world.

The above three points are difficult to solve for the Free City of the Demon Soul Clan, and they can only be regulated by the unified price announcement every morning.

How can this origin territory be more advanced and powerful than the Demon Soul Race?

"Master, Master Yang, don't get me wrong!"

Seeing Soma standing in place, he neither stepped forward to queue up to exchange money, nor spoke out his concerns.

Huang Bing scratched his head, but he came up with a reason.

"If you want to trade within the territory of origin, for food and clothing, most places do not need to use this currency. Only a small number of channels...such as transactions within the territory, meals, official purchases, etc., will need currency."

"No matter how the materials rise or fall, the prices of these places inside the territory will not fluctuate too much. As long as you exchange these currencies, you basically don't have to worry about devaluation."

"And if the currency in your hand is not used up before you leave, you can bring it back here and exchange it for materials."

Of course, Huang Bing didn't come up with this well-organized explanation.

A month ago, when the exchange first opened, the vast majority of people in the origin territory were in the same situation as Soma now, and basically no one was willing to exchange the materials in their hands for trumped-up currencies.

Even if there is a lord behind this thing, and there is a territorial credit connection, it cannot make everyone change their minds.

But living here, encountering this kind of reform, apart from leaving, how can you be involved.

It only took two or three days to change. With more and more explanations, and the wages of all the citizens of the origin territory, they also began to be paid into this currency.

All those who live here must accept it if they do not accept it.

Gradually, when most people found that this thing is really more useful than the materials in their hands, they began to slowly implement it.

"Oh, then go in and have a look!"

Huang Bing didn't let Huang Bing explain lamely. After some thought, Soma was almost 100% sure that the new lord definitely had a "ghost" in his heart.

Issuing currency, for the current territory and environment, is all harm and no benefit.

As long as he is a person with a normal mind, he will never come out of such a foolish move, leaving so many loopholes in it.

But that's exactly what he did, and he did it so thoroughly.

There must be some indescribable reason, or there is profit in it.

Two steps forward, standing at the back of the entire team.

Soma lined up while thinking about the places where holes could be drilled.

However, it made people laugh and cry. The people who were still in line in front of them suddenly turned around and found a strong mountain bandit standing behind them with a gun on their waists.

The behavior turned out to be surprisingly uniform.

They first pretended to be acquaintances suddenly, and then they left the team and went to the side, letting Soma go to the front.

Then, as if nothing had happened, they naturally re-lined up.

It only took less than a minute, and the thirty or so people in front were exactly the same, sending Soma all the way to the door of the stone house.

"Guest, please read the instructions next to you before entering the exchange."

It seems that he is used to the operation of these people.

Sweeping that there was a gun on Soma's waist, the guard standing at the door quickly cheered up and pointed to the wooden sign hanging beside him.

On this, the rules of the exchange are depicted.

Basically, you can enter with weapons, but you cannot use weapons to carry out any looting threats inside.

Once implemented, no matter the reason, it will be directly regarded as the enemy of the territory, surrounded and cleared.

In addition to this, other things are not to be loud, not to be unreasonable, to disturb the order, and so on.

For those who have lived in the last days for such a long time, these are just the most basic rules.

"I'm going in with my entourage, is it alright?"

The gatekeeper looked back, and finally nodded: "Yes, but please hurry up, there are a lot of people lining up behind!"

In principle, only one person can enter each exchange, and it is obviously a violation of the rules to let Soma and his party enter.

But rules are inherently dead.

Orders are passed down layer by layer, and discounts are certain.

In most cases, they are just used to restrict these ordinary people in the territory.

For these foreign Guojianglongs, the upper levels of the territory are unwilling to forcibly control and discipline them, and naturally these guards at the lower levels of the territory are not attentive, and are unwilling to offend the strong for these deadly rules and cause disasters.

"it is good!"

Nodding in acceptance of the guard's kindness, Su Mo squatted down slightly, pushed forward the door and entered.

The door is not a big heavy door, just push it open gently to enter.

The furnishings inside are a structural arrangement that is particularly similar to that of a modern bank.

A long counter divides the interior of the house into two places.

There are four or five staff members who are rushing to count the materials accumulated on the ground and organize them.

On the outside, it was where Soma was standing. After two or three steps forward, the currency exchange could be done.

Following the signs on the ground, Soma slowly stepped forward, and sat down in front of the counter marked with the exchange of things.

"Sir, this is the exchange list for today, please check it first, and then confirm the exchange content with me!"

The guards outside are smart, and the exchange staff inside are not stupid.

Realizing that Su Mo and the others are extremely powerful, and seeing Huang Bing standing behind him winking, the female employee in charge of exchanging supplies hurriedly handed over a slightly thicker picture book.

On its cover, seven Chinese characters are neatly printed:

"Resource Exchange Price List"

In the lower right corner, the time of the latest modification is marked.

Sumo glanced at it and found that it was the 25th day of the last calendar month, which was quite surprising.

"This item on the price list hasn't been touched for two weeks?"

"Oh? It seems to be, the resource prices of major category items have basically remained unchanged from April 25th to the present."

"However, the prices of some small items have changed, and the number is not very large. We marked them again with labels. The first page also marked the names of the materials that changed recently."

Hearing Soma's sudden remark, the young female worker hurriedly raised her head and answered cautiously.

It can be seen that although she has also obtained a job in the territory, just like Huang Bing, her status is not high.

"The first page?"

Opening the picture book, Soma's eyes fell on the update form mentioned by the female worker.

Unlike what he imagined, there were not many things updated in the mouth of the female worker, but in Soma's eyes, it filled a whole sheet of paper, involving dozens of items.

Among them, most of the things are chemical products that Soma has not heard of several times in modern times.

A small part is a relatively rare part, ores.

I don't know if it is because of the scarcity of things, the exchange price has basically increased slightly compared to before.

"Um..."

Browsing it up and down, but couldn't find any problem, Soma turned his head and pouted at the album.

The warrior standing in the back naturally understood it, and hurriedly stepped forward and stood behind Soma, took out a small polaroid camera from his pocket, focused on the first page of the album, and it clicked.

"Sir, this..."

I have never seen someone use a camera to save the price on the album, and the young female worker was at a loss for a while, not knowing what to do.

But as soon as the words were spoken, out of the corner of the eye, the few people behind them were doing their own work, looking like "deaf and dumb".

She quickly retracted her gaze and lowered her head, as if nothing had happened, and let the soldiers behind Somo pat the book page by page.

After a moment, all the photos are recorded and confirmed.

Soma lowered his head and continued from the second page to check the price of the exchanged items.

...

For rice (80% for unprocessed raw materials), one pound can be exchanged for 5 origin coins.

Flour (unfinished raw materials can be exchanged for 80%), one pound can be exchanged for 4 origin coins.

For edible oil, one pound can be exchanged for 8 origin coins.

Salt (acquired at 50%-120% according to the purity), 200 grams is exchanged for 2 origin coins.

For fresh vegetables (including wild vegetables that can be used), one pound can be exchanged for 5 origin coins.

For condiments, a bottle can be exchanged for 2 Origin Coins.

Drink (500ml), one bottle is exchanged for 2 origin coins.

...

Ordinary heat-insulating clothing, one piece can be exchanged for 8 Origin Coins.

For ordinary cold-proof clothing, one piece can be exchanged for 10 Origin Coins.

Ordinary cold-proof cotton-padded jacket, one piece can be exchanged for 50 Origin Coins.

...

Iron, one kilogram is exchanged for 0.2 origin coins.

Copper, one kilogram is exchanged for 0.5 origin coins.

...

There are more than 20 pages in the exchanged atlas, and the content on it basically covers all the resources that human beings can come into contact with in normal life.

Although the prices of some things are obviously abnormal compared to other things.

But in the wasteland, it can be said in the past.

After all, no matter what time, food is always the most sought-after item, nothing else.

"Sir, please hurry up and exchange. The people outside have been waiting for a long time. Please understand our work!"

Knocked on the door, the guard who had been guarding the door probed in and reminded softly.

Each person has only five minutes to redeem, and they will be kicked out after the timeout.

If you haven't exchanged it and want to continue, then go to the queue until the exchange is complete.

But for Soma, nearly ten minutes have passed since he came in, and the team outside has grown to more than fifty people.

Seeing that more and more people were booing, the guard had no choice but to come in to remind him.

"Okay, right now!"

The price of the album has been stored in the instant camera.

I can only go back and change the film paper, print it out, and then I can sit in the hotel and analyze it slowly, without waiting here to waste time.

"Let's change... By the way, you also accept expired food here, right?"

The female worker was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "As long as it is edible, it can be exchanged whether it expires or not, but the price will be different from ordinary food!"

"Okay, let's change these!"

He waved at the counter casually, and where Soma raised his hand, two cardboard boxes with Panpan patterns printed on the outside landed on the counter and made a humming sound.

"The bread here has expired for three months, but it should still be eaten. You can change it for a price!"

The shelf life of instant bread is 90 days.

When I found it in the small supermarket, it had already expired for a long time.

At that time, Su Mo was still thinking about how to get rid of this thing, but now that he encountered such a good opportunity, he naturally would not let it go.

On the other side, the female worker was obviously someone who had seen strong winds and waves. She was not too surprised when she saw two boxes of bread appear.

I saw that she skillfully opened the seal on the carton with a knife and poured out all the bread.

First, I counted the number of all the breads, and then inspected them one by one to see if there was any mildew.

A full minute or two passed, and after counting them all, she put down all the bread and spit out the price softly:

"There are two boxes in total, one hundred bags of instant bread expired for three months and nineteen days. The weight of one bag is 120g. The purchase price for a single one is... 0.8 origin coins, one hundred is..."

"80 Origin Coins!"

"Here, I can call the shots, raise two more coins, and pay a total of 82 origin coins, what do you think?"

For normal 100g bread, the purchase price is 1 Origin Coin.

But the expired bread, even if it doesn't look bad, actually has a lot of discounts.

Because he was dealing with expired food, he was charged nearly 30% off, but Somo was not unhappy, but nodded in surprise: "Okay, just change it at this price!"

"OK!"

Seeing Somo agree, there are other staff behind the female worker, who stepped forward to collect all the bread, and at the same time handed the cardboard box back to the soldiers behind Somo.

Counting, crediting, lending.

With the iron pieces the size of ten bottle caps with numbers printed on them, the female worker took them out of the safe and counted them, and pushed them to Soma. The transaction was officially over.

"Thank you, sorry to trouble you"

Sitting here, it's not easy to take a closer look at the mystery of these coins. Somo just grabbed it in his hand and threw it into his coat pocket before standing up.

No matter what the system of this exchange is ~www.novelbuddy.com~ for these rules and procedures in the origin territory.

Soma was satisfied.

Especially for the attitude and ability of these staff, Soma was even a little jealous, wishing to pry the corner of the origin territory on the spot and bring it back to his territory to recruit caravans and survivors.

But unfortunately, before the factual investigation is completed, these can only be thought of in the mind.

"Sir, you're welcome!" She also stood up, and the young female worker also put a smile on her face and watched the four Soma go out.

However, when Soma was about to walk to the gate, the female worker didn't know if she had the courage, so she boldly asked:

"Sir, have we met before? I always think you look familiar, but I just can't remember where we met?"

It seems that they are in a relationship, and it seems that the two have really met.

Regardless of the slightly contemptuous eyes of everyone behind her, the young female worker's eyes were filled with sincerity.

"Oh? What's your name?" Soma turned his head, his face as usual.

"My name is Huang Ya, Huang Bing is my cousin..." Pointing to the short guard beside Somo, Huang Ya stuck out her tongue, rather embarrassed.

"Huang Ya..."

"I don't think I can remember?"

Pretending to be thinking and leaving an ambiguous answer, Soma smiled softly, and without saying a word, turned around and opened the door and walked out.

Everything is so natural, there is no abnormality.
