Longevity Story

Although Xing Ke had considered this aspect, at that time, none of them seemed to find a suitable thing as the standard currency, so the plan in this regard was completely blank.

There is no way, after all, not all worlds take gold as a precious metal.Things that seem very precious in all the worlds are still a little difficult to find carefully, so I thought about exchanging things for things...

"Huh? Didn't Mr. Someone know? Hard currency in the Garden of the Dead..."

With that said, the guard boy raised the magic gem that Xing Ke had just given him as a deposit in his hand.

"A gem?"

"No, hard currency is actually magic. It is magic that replaces precious metals and rare things like gold and gems as the currency benchmark (standard currency).

It turns out that Mr. Someone didn't know. When you just took out the magic gem as a reward, I thought you knew this. "

sorry, I do not know.Xing Ke smiled awkwardly, took out his ruby ​​wand from his pocket, turned it around and stuffed it back:

"So, in fact, the magician like me has always used magic gems as a kind of transaction currency. That's just a coincidence."

"I see."

Without any special reaction, he put away the ruby ​​in his hand, and the guard boy stepped off the bridge, pointed to the road on the left, and said:

"Please go this way, the trading market and living area are not far in this direction.

When you reach the bank in the trading market, you can know that the easiest thing to exchange for the currency circulating in the Hongjie Ark badge is magic, although the exchange ratio may be a little beyond imagination. "

"Is it big?"

"Yeah, it's very big. There was once a person who was one of the best archmage in his own world, but when he got here, he tried his best to convert all his magic power into unowned magic power, but the star coins he exchanged were only just filled. It's just my stomach. Not to mention a swordsman like me."

"Star coins?"

"The currency name here, as long as there is a balance in the badge account, you will see it. No matter what language it is, it is composed of two words, stars and currency."

The star carving is clear, it turns out that he has not only become a decorative statue, but also has become an avatar on the currency!

Who is your sister!Such utterly deadly treatment!Whose idea was it? !

"Then little brother, didn't you just lose a lot? This magic gem is actually used by me to reserve magic power when my own magic power is not enough. The magic power will definitely not be greater than my own. That is to say, it is not worth it. meal money?"

Xing Ke asked with an inexplicable smile on his face.

"Not really."

The little brother on guard still has a cool expression that has not changed:

"You should have also discovered that in this deceased garden, there is no way to restore your own magic power by absorbing the magic power in the atmosphere, otherwise the magic power will not become the currency benchmark.

The fact that you can use your reserve magic power as a reward for employment is itself a manifestation of thinking that this thing should be useful and valuable here.

And although I'm only a half-baked magic swordsman, I don't know the depth of this gem, but I do feel the huge magic power.

The strong person may not need to rely on the magic power in the atmosphere, and can use various methods to restore the magic power within himself, but there are people who can't do that, so the market and value of this gem here are also different. Not that low.

Therefore, I think this mission is worth taking, and it is also an incidental to the guard patrol anyway..."

549. Rome cannot be built in a day, nor in 20 years...

The completed Rainbow Bridge, located in the center of the lake, can only be seen in the distance. The conical tower becomes smaller and smaller as it goes up, and finally turns into a beam of light that goes straight to the sky, like a cosmic elevator.

In fact, the original concept design was indeed like this, but Xing Ke now sees its finished product, and I really feel a little emotional.

Moreover, there is also a small world that was originally empty, and now there is a little more people...

Walking slowly on the street by the lake, seeing that the surrounding buildings still have some flavor of the original Tokyo area, Xing Ke suddenly broke the silence and asked the guard brother who led the way:

"Brother guard, you just took over the guard task assigned by the management of the deceased garden, not as a guard, right?"

"That's true, what's wrong with Mr. Someone?" Turning to look at Xing Ke, the guard replied.

"Guardian, security team, police... I don't know which name you like, brother, but the meaning is the same.

All are violent management organizations formed by landlords, lords or managers, acting as the hands and feet of the rights holders or the law, that is to say, public offices.

But now, the manager of the deceased garden has turned this kind of public office into a task that anyone can take, or a contract employee.

I have some doubts about this, and would like to hear your personal opinion on this approach, okay? "

"My personal opinion... I don't think it's anything strange." The little brother of the guard added with a deep sigh: "The lord selects high-quality seeds from the commoners and cultivates them into his own hands and feet. This is because he is under his command. In fact, no one is available. Before becoming a security guard, the guards are just plain civilians, and they do not have the necessary knowledge, ability and will to be a guard, that is to say... incompetent.

However, if every civilian under the lord's rule has the ability to perfectly fulfill the duties of a security guard, then there is no need to select and train them to turn guarding into a fixed occupation. For those who want to do the task, just give the reward to the person who completes the task, which is simpler and faster.

Therefore, most of the people who joined the Hongjie Ark were introduced by the guides of their predecessors, and they were capable people with various skills. Under the coercive force of the contract, as long as they completed the tasks as required, they could get the day's Compensation... there's nothing wrong with that. "

Yes, under the contract, there is no way to lie, there is no problem.

"It's not limited to security tasks, but other reception tasks, regional planning tasks and even data sorting tasks issued by the garden management.

In most human civilization systems, these things were originally done by public officials. Under the restrictions of various terms, as long as the contract is completed according to the basic requirements, it is actually much more dedicated than public officials. . "

As the little brother walked and talked, the number of people encountered on the road also increased, and there was even a person sitting on a strange vehicle and passing by Xing Ke and the others, and nodded to each other with the guard brother The girl who said hello... It seems that the market is coming soon.

"The above, these are some things that I saw, heard, and thought of after I came down here, but I don't know what the deep meaning of the people who actually formulated this system had."

Maybe he didn't mean anything?Xing Ke couldn't help but complain in his heart.

At the beginning, the prototype of this system was just because Xing Ke was too troublesome, so he thought of outsourcing and dumping the blame, so he naturally put this plan on the parliament table!Unexpectedly, it was approved unanimously by everyone...

"Where, listening to you say that, my brother, I suddenly understand a lot!"

It's clear that my plan can still get such a high evaluation?

"Indeed, the people here are all leaders from all walks of life who have been invited. Where can I find some public officials to manage them like civilians?"

When there are too many people, it is very troublesome to think about...

"So, it's better to turn your career into a task and implement autonomy to the end!"

Xing Ke desperately hides his smugness.

"Self-government...? The word Mr. Someone used feels very appropriate. Self-governance means freedom, not limited by occupation, time and qualifications, and free to make a little contribution to this place." The guard nodded. Replied.

"Yes, yes, even people like me who don't like work have the urge to take up a task to support the family!

The people who made the system definitely thought so too! "

"No, Mr. Someone, this is just my personal opinion, and does not represent the original nine people who formulated the system..."

"No no no, your answer is very reasonable, and I agree with it, then it doesn't matter whether it is true or not, let's just treat it as true!"

Taking a look at Xing Ke's kind and sly smile, the guard brother didn't say anything, just turned his head back and looked forward with no expression:

"...If some of your insights can help you, it would be an honor for you."

Translating into another language is just -- you like it.

This little guy is a little too serious, right?There is such a serious person that Xing Ke seems a little funny.

You see, even Shiro turned his head in reluctance to look directly... helpless.

"Sorry, little brother, I'm joking too much, why did I forget such an important thing? - Although you are working as a tour guide now, little brother, in fact, you are the same as me. One of the leaders from all walks of life invited, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

While apologizing, he casually praised himself as a leader in the world, and Xing Ke was a little bit floating in his heart.

"It doesn't matter. Although there are not many people in this place, the proportion of weirdos with peculiar personalities is abnormally high. I'm used to it."

Hey, brother, you have no right to speak to others, right?Deadly freak.

"It's here, this is the trading market."

While speaking, the little brother who led the way had stopped and stood in front of a magnificent eggshell-shaped building almost entirely composed of glass and metal skeletons.

It is indeed not far from the Rainbow Bridge, so it is the lakeside!Just walked around the lake for a while, right?

Xing Ke seemed to realize something at this moment——

"Let me ask you one thing. You just said that there are not many people here. So are the main facilities and the activities of the members around this lake?"

550. I always feel that some flag is set up, but please don't mind...

The answer is actually quite clear.

There are already fewer people, so if you don't get closer, isn't it meaningless to have a little more people?

But even though the place is very big, it would be very pitiful to gather it into a small piece, which is not the case.

Therefore, it may be that I remembered a joke once made by Xing Ke——

Rainbow Bridge should be like that...

Taking advantage of the trend, Meteora opened an artificial lake around the Rainbow Bridge, the most important landmark building, and everyone lived around the lake.

However, of course Xing Ke now doesn't know who is responsible for this kind of town planning, he just feels that this is actually... not bad.

At least people who have just come here through the Rainbow Bridge can see a good "appearance".

Including the star carved himself.

…………

"Mr. Someone, your conjecture is correct, in fact, as long as you circle around the central lake, you can see almost all the existing buildings in the deceased garden.

Further out is a desolate city called Tokyo, all the remains of the fragmented world of the Garden of the Dead before it was used as the headquarters of the Hongjie Ark... eh?What’s wrong with you?Mr. Someone? "

Xing Ke felt as if he had been deceived, and lost his soul.

I thought it was because the Garden of Death had changed, and I still felt a little adventurous, but now I found out that the truth was that I was in a circle...

Immediately, Xing Ke suddenly turned around and put his hands on Shiro's shoulders, saying firmly:

"It's okay, Mashiro! Even if it's only the appearance of this layer now, the rest are all Tokyo you are familiar with, but it will definitely be different in a hundred or thousand years. Please don't lose hope!"

"Huh? I see."

It's a bit unclear, so she wasn't disappointed here, did she?

"Mr. So, do you want to go in now? In the center of the trading market, there is a facility where you can exchange magic power for star coins."

"Of course, let's go!"

After finishing the words, Xing Ke first accelerated towards the glass eggshell. The sudden acceleration almost scared Yi Ye, who was pushed in his hand. Fortunately, Xing Ke comforted Xiao Bu in time, so that she did not cry...

After entering the trading market, although I was mentally prepared, Xing Ke still wanted to say something——

"Where does this look like a market?"
