Lord of Arcane
Chapter 3245 East Street Shopping
Upon learning of this situation, Jasmine couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. She had been thinking that she could learn magic knowledge today, but she didn't expect that she would have to wait another day!
But this is also good, as I can stay at home with my mother. However, Mrs. Mary said before that if there is no class today, she will take Jasmine to buy clothes.
The school has now distributed new clothes. Jasmine seems to like them very much. She has been holding them in her arms since she got them, but there are still some other things she can buy.
Mary's husband came back last night not just to transfer money to her to activate the digital account on her ID card, but also to bring other tasks.
She was asked to use more digital blue gold coins recently. This was a task assigned by her superiors, and they even provided a sum of money for it, which was only valid for one month.
Since she will need them anyway, she might as well buy her daughter some daily necessities like clothes, shoes and socks.
……
When they came out of the school, Mrs. Mary wanted to take the school uniform from her daughter and hold it herself, but Jasmine was unwilling to let go. Considering that there were only two sets of clothes, Mrs. Mary did not insist and let her daughter hold it herself.
Soon, the two passed by the territory cafeteria where Madam Mary usually worked at noon, and then passed by the territory security office, and finally arrived at the busiest East Street in Linshui Town.
The name "East Street" is actually a small commercial district consisting of five streets, two horizontal and three vertical. The "East Second Street" mentioned by the staff at the school registration office is the middle one among the three vertical streets.
Mrs. Mary seldom has the opportunity to come here, and today she felt even more restrained when she brought her daughter with her. On the contrary, her daughter Jasmine seemed to be completely fearless and pulled her to look here and there.
But compared to her daughter who only cared about the goods themselves, Mrs. Mary paid more attention to finding the digital payment logo her husband mentioned, because digital balance payment can only be used in those stores with the logo.
The logo is very simple, similar to the one on an ID card, which is also a square box emitting a hazy glow. The difference is that the box on the ID card can display the specific balance number, while the box on the shop will prominently state that digital payment is supported.
After a while, Mrs. Mary found a store with a digital payment logo. It was a ready-made clothing store. Although her daughter had just received her school uniform, Mrs. Mary slowed down in front of the store with the idea of buying a few more.
Although children are often considered ignorant, they often have keen perceptions that adults may not have. As soon as Mrs. Mary slowed down her pace, Jasmine realized that her mother might want to buy something for her in this store, so she freed one hand to pull the corner of Mrs. Mary's clothes and whispered:
"I have school uniforms, so I don't need to buy any more clothes."
"Child, two sets of school uniforms are not enough for you. Buy two more sets to change into during holidays." Mrs. Mary's tone was soft, but also revealed a firm attitude.
Even Jasmine could sense this attitude, so she stopped persuading her. After all, what her mother said made sense. The school uniform looked so good, but she definitely couldn't wear it when she wasn't in school. What if it got worn out?
After that, they went into the store to pick out clothes and bargain. Jasmine didn't say what she wanted to buy the whole time. She only nodded reservedly when Mrs. Mary held the clothes and asked her about them. She even deliberately showed the school uniform in her arms to make it easier for her mother to bargain.
Finally, the price of two sets of well-made clothes was reduced to "2 yuan and 5 cents". Jasmine was not very familiar with this way of naming money. She only knew that 1 yuan was equal to one blue gold coin.
She was more familiar with the word "jiao". Occasionally, her mother would give her a coin with an angled shape as pocket money, and one coin could buy her a handful of candy from the community candy shop.
When paying, Mrs. Mary took out her ID card, and the shop apprentice, at the boss's reminder, took out a payment card from behind the counter that was similar to her ID card but did not have any specific identity information.
There was also a glowing box on it. Both Lady Mary and the apprentice pretended to be proficient in completing the payment. Of course, only two yuan and fifty cents were paid in cash.
Currently, the balance of digital blue gold coins only supports payments in "yuan" units. For smaller units, either the buyer pays additional cash or the merchant gives change.
If you can bargain down to the point where there is no "corner" left, that would be very convenient indeed. If you still have to pay extra in cash, it may not be much more convenient than before, it is at most safer.
No need to worry about being stolen by pickpockets like in the past.
Now cash can be turned into a digital balance on your ID card. Even if your ID card is stolen together with your cash, the money inside will definitely not be lost.
In fact, there will be no pickpockets stealing ID cards now, unless they are pure newbies who have just entered the business and have no experience in stealing. Experienced pickpockets know that ID cards cannot be stolen, and if they are stolen, they will definitely be caught.
When the second-generation ID cards first became popular, some unscrupulous thieves wanted to steal ID cards, melt them into materials and sell them to other places. However, before they could even light the fire, they were surrounded by security guards who received a report of the loss.
Needless to say, stealing or misusing an ID card is no minor crime in Daxia. It is usually punishable by more than one year of detention, plus a fine.
Especially the latter, which is considered to be the characteristic of Netheril, and the Great Xia Territory has not completely cancelled it.
All punishments in the territory are basically detention + fines. If someone is injured, flogging will be added. If someone is intentionally injured and killed, the person must pay with his life.
Generally speaking, if there is no money to pay the fine, the detention time will be extended or the number of floggings will be increased.
Although detention seems to be just deprivation of freedom and forced labor, its deterrent effect is no less than the death penalty. Death row prisoners have long been aware that they will be killed, and the Great Xia Lord will only conduct a public trial at most and will not torture the prisoners before their death. The death penalty is equivalent to a matter of a moment, but the actual feeling of detention is similar to that of slavery.
Anyone who has enjoyed the normal life of a citizen of Daxia will not want to be a slave again. Even those who are willing to take risks and commit crimes are just hoping for luck.
No one has ever said that they commit crimes because they want to be detained. If you really have such an intention, there is no need to commit a crime. Just add burden to yourself and you can make money at the same time!
There is no such thing as salary for detention!
If you are caught stealing or misusing someone else's ID card, you will be sentenced to one year in prison or more. In contrast, if you only steal money, you have to steal about 500 gold coins to be sentenced to one year.
And if they only steal money, only the accumulated theft proficiency will be calculated during sentencing. If they steal one gold coin a hundred times and are caught every time, the actual sentence for the hundredth time will not exceed one year. Of course, if they cannot afford the fine, it will most likely exceed that.
For stealing or misusing someone else's ID card, the sentence will start from three years for the second time, and ten years for the third time.
Therefore, even if we only consider the cost-effectiveness, no thief would be willing to steal someone else's ID card, unless they really miss the life of a slave.
If no one steals ID cards, then crimes derived from ID cards can be almost eliminated. Other new types of crimes may appear in the future, but the laws and investigative methods are by no means static. (End of this chapter)
