Chapter 75 Exchange
Cheng Jinzhou's request not only overwhelmed the two star warlock apprentices, but also made several other gentlemen with good ears turn their heads.

"What do you want to exchange?" Although the eyes widened, the service continued.

Cheng Jinzhou tentatively asked, "Money?"

The gentlemen who were secretly listening to the voice almost fell on the spot.

Contribution points from the association are really useful for astrologists, especially the contribution points directly from the association, like Kuping silver in silver—the quality is pure and guaranteed, who would exchange the silver for nothing? Use it as copper coins.

Fortunately, star warlocks themselves are a strange group. Faced with the strange request, the two apprentices could still remain calm, and one of them said, "I wonder how many points you want to exchange?"

"Can I use the association's contribution point as a mortgage, and after I exchange it for silver, I can exchange it back with silver." Cheng Jinzhou remembered the little trick played by customer service 010 again.

The two shook their heads in unison.

Cheng Jinzhou chuckled twice, pondering, "How many taels of silver can the association's contribution points be exchanged for?"

"There is no definite number." The two shook their heads again. Obviously, the association will not directly link contribution points to silver.

At this time, another star warlock came from behind, stood five or six meters away from Cheng Jinzhou and said, "Hello, I am Xu Gu star warlock."

Hearing the voice, Cheng Jinzhou saw the second-level Star Warlock logo on the opponent's chest at a glance, and quickly saluted: "Hello."

The two apprentice star warlocks bowed their heads and retreated.

Xu Gu walked over slowly with a palm-sized book in his hand, and said with a smile, "I'm the local director of the association, and one of my responsibilities is to help all the star warlocks. I read your certification stone information, please forgive me. , it seems that you still have 2 star warlock contribution points and are about to upgrade to a level 1 star warlock, so selling contribution points at this time is not very cost-effective."

The promotion rules for star warlocks mainly depend on how many contribution points they have obtained from the association, and at the same time they are required to keep the required number.The association will also give regular rewards based on its holdings.Therefore, for Star Warlocks, their contribution points also have the function of promotion, while for other Star Warlocks, the contribution points in their hands are more like securities that can pay dividends on a regular basis - this is also the association's Measures taken to maintain the vitality of astrology. Not studying astrology but only using astrology will not make astrology progress. Only studying astrology without using it will make astrology lose its meaning.

Of course, Cheng Jinzhou also considered the issue of being promoted to a one-star warlock. Speaking of it, it was more important than the rural examination.However, the fact that the latter is more important does not mean that the former can be given up. How to say, he is also a pure noble family child now, and the title of a one-star warlock alone cannot bring real help-the Holy Church will not pay attention to a For star warlocks who have not joined the teaching, the association will not do anything for one-star warlocks, and under such circumstances, the imperial court and other aristocratic families are more likely to promote the red and trample the black...

With such considerations, Cheng Jinzhou first smiled and answered "It doesn't matter", and then said: "Because the last two times, my contribution points increased were due to the publication of the Xia Jing Journal, so it seems that the contribution points will only increase when the journal is published. increase."

"Journal of Xia Jing is the most famous journal of the Great Xia Dynasty. Your results are submitted in Xia Jing. Naturally, only local astrologists can see them more easily. It will take half a year for the horse-drawn carriage to send the main results report to the association. The headquarters can then continue to deliver to other branches..." Xu Gu explained with a smile: "There are too many, and other means of transportation will be too expensive."

It was only then that Cheng Jinzhou realized that he was living in an era where consultation was underdeveloped.In this way, it may take a few years before the results report he submitted through Xiang Xin will be seen by most astrologists—in fact, it will be sent to the archives that astrologists can access, and then, Only then did he have the opportunity to increase his contribution from a different place.

Astrologists have a long lifespan. For the technical means of the 17th century, half a year's precipitation will not affect the timeliness of the technology. Cheng Jinzhou frowned and said helplessly: "Although I didn't know it was so complicated before, but For me, since the contribution points can only be increased when the journal is published, using some now will not affect the evaluation of a one-star warlock."

"But you still have 2 contribution points to level up."

"I got 4 association contribution points every time." Cheng Jinzhou said carelessly.

Xu Gu couldn't close his opened mouth, which made him unable to continue talking.

"Then change two first?" Cheng Jinzhou also had no choice, he still had the Star Alliance library in his hand.For him, it is not difficult to earn some association contribution points. What he is afraid of is that the ring will run away. It is like a peddler coming to the village. Stay here, if no one buys anything, the peddler will have to run away—the peddler is not afraid of running away, the Star Alliance library is gone, and there is no time to beat your chest and feet.

Cheng Jinzhou actually doesn't know whether the Star Alliance Library will run away, but he should be prepared for danger in times of peace, especially those who have gone from an era when wives would run away to an era where girls don't dare to run away. Gentlemen, vigilance must be indispensable.

If there is no problem with the magistrate Cheng Yun'an, Cheng Jinzhou might sell all the Star Alliance contribution points. A 13-year-old kid still doesn't need such a high-end show-off weapon like a one-star warlock. At least he has to wait for his own weapon to mature. There is a need for equipment. As for now, he wants to take care of both.

Xu Gu didn't understand what Cheng Jinzhou was thinking, and persuaded him, "You still have an allowance of 80 taels of silver this year, why don't you take them out first?"

The rule is that withdrawals can only be made at the end of the year, but the association has always been tolerant to astrologists, and withdrawals at the beginning of the year are not considered a problem.

A small exam paper costs 200 taels of silver, but Cheng Jinzhou thought it was 80 taels of silver, and immediately said: "I'm afraid I need a little more. Isn't it easy to sell 2 contribution points?"

"Actually, it's quite a lot." Xu Gu patted his forehead. Ordinary star warlocks spend two or three years to complete an article. Maybe they can't get a single contribution point. Those are those star warlocks who stand at the top of the pyramid. A lot of contribution points can be easily obtained, but they often spend more on research, and it is the normal state of astrologists to make ends meet.

The world of star warlocks has always been a deflationary world.

"The price?" Seeing that he had become the representative of Xiaosha, Cheng Jinzhou simply acted dumbfounded. Anyway, among a group of star warlocks, he might really be the one with the lowest IQ, and he could perform in his true colors.

Xu Gu beckoned an apprentice star warlock over, and then took out a book over 1.5 meters from the window seat, and said: "For the convenience of star warlocks, the association will release the price of exchange items every six months, but these are high prices Commodities, many times before we see the book, the department is already sold out, but there are still some commonly used cheap resources that are also on the exchange list, and there is no direct exchange for silver."

The exchange itself also has the function of maintaining the credit of contribution points. Although people in this era do not study economic issues so systematically, they can understand a little or two in normal use.

The book is as thick as a refrigerator, and there is a special easel-like device that allows it to be placed upright on the ground. Cheng Jinzhou turns the pages from front to back. Most of them are unfamiliar mineral materials, and the price ranges from 1 contribution point to There are hundreds.

"Is there any food?" Cheng Jinzhou immediately found his old business.

"Food is not necessarily cost-effective. Do you want to use food for experiments?" Xu Gu misunderstood: "The food provided by the association is mainly in large quantities and with uniform standards. In most cases, it can be delivered to the area you designate. You know, This is a good thing during the war, but if you buy less, the price will suffer. Since you want to exchange money, you should buy the most expensive one in the local area. If you can make some items yourself, buy raw materials If you reprocess it, you will receive more money. This is what I usually advise those apprentice astrologists.”

He chuckled and said, "Many star warlock apprentices have lost the chance to advance, so they often do business through the association, which we encourage."

The association's contribution points can be circulated, and the lives of apprentices who cannot become star warlocks can be solved. Naturally, the association has no reason to object.

"Then which one do you think is more suitable?" Cheng Jinzhou asked seriously. It is always good to have someone to consult.

Xu Gu flipped through the notebook in his hand, and said, "Try jade stone? One contribution point can be exchanged for 50 grams, and two contribution points equals 2 grams. Then..., the market price of wall stone is 100 gram. 12 taels of silver, 2 contribution points, 1200 taels of silver."

Cheng Jinzhou secretly calculated that the contribution point of a yearly dividend of 10 taels can be exchanged for 600 taels. Compared with stocks, a price-earnings ratio of 60 times is basically a Chinese stock. Of course, the income of contribution points is not only It is 10 taels of silver every year.

1200 taels of silver can do a lot of things, Cheng Jinzhou said with a satisfied smile: "Then what procedures do I need to go through? Bijinshi is easy to sell."

"It's easy to sell. It's a precious metal. It's good for decoration, all kinds of weapons, and the items you make." Xu Gu pondered for a while and said, "Just use the authentication stone to transfer the money. It has its own records. Do you really want to change?"

In the last sentence, he still meant to persuade.

Cheng Jinzhou nodded resolutely. If possible, he actually wanted to sell more, so as not to become a one-star warlock too high-profile.It's just that this kind of thing is hard to control, and he really needs it, so let it be.

Seeing him confirming, Xu Gu was about to take the certification stone when someone beside him said: "For 1200 taels of silver, how about selling it to me?"

The two turned their heads quickly, and saw an old man in a dark green gown, standing two or three meters away with a smile, with beards all over his face, and an honest and loyal appearance.

"Old Mo, are you free today?" Xu Gu obviously knew him, and introduced to Cheng Jinzhou: "This is Mo Ye, an apprentice of an astronomy 30 years ago, and now he is an apprentice of an astronomy."

Cheng Jinzhou greeted him and asked, "Do you have any cash?"

He doesn't care about a 10% or 20% difference, especially when dealing with astrologists.

"There are not only silver, but also food, etc. Astrologist materials are also available." Mo Ye patted his chest, took out his own certification stone and handed it over: "If you need anything in the future, you can come to me. Let's talk to each other. Record the contact information, you can leave any information in the association in the future, and someone will notify you when you arrive."

Cheng Jinzhou nodded and said, "Just the money."

Although he wanted some food, there was no need to exchange it now.

Mo Ye immediately took out 12 flying tickets, and said with a sigh of relief: "The household department and the third department can both get them, you take them."

The transaction was as simple and quick as shopping in a supermarket. Cheng Jinzhou put the flying ticket in his arms and let out a sigh of relief.Money is the guts of a hero, with it, cheating and plagiarism is omnipotent; without it, plagiarism with future technology will make people feel uneasy...
