Change?
A big question mark appeared over the heads of the remaining few people.
Beloberg implemented two currencies at the same time, one was credit points, and the other was Winter City Shield.
The official exchange rate for converting Winter City Shield into credit points was 1:50, but among the people, it had long been 1:100 or more. The lower-level districts were short of supplies. A common meal and snack, black bread, soda, and iceberg, would cost 600 credit points, which accounted for most of the wages of a miner who worked eight hours.
If converted into the currency of Xia Zhihui's previous life, it would be eight hours a day, with a salary of 100 summer coins, and a black bread, soda, and iceberg would cost 60 summer coins.
These 200 Winter City Shields were equivalent to 2,000 summer coins, which was half a month's salary for most of the miners in the lower-level districts.
And in Bronya's mouth, it was actually change?
Seele nodded.
As expected of the next successor to the Great Guardian, so generous!
Xia Zhihui shook his head.
Damn, this is too out of touch with the masses!
Xing and Clara were confused and impressed, both of them were people who didn't understand prices.
It was only the third day since Xing came to Beloberg, and Clara was too well protected by Swarovski. There were probably countless people from the Clara Protection Association secretly protecting her every day.
Only Eric was furious. Two hundred Winter City shields were his family's life-saving money, and someone dared to say it was change.
Now because he didn't need medical expenses, he reduced it to fifty. He just wanted to buy some delicious food for his father. What else do you want?
"Now I want one hundred Winter City shields! No! Two hundred!"
Looking at Eric with red eyes, Bronya didn't know what she had done wrong just now, but she sincerely put the medal on her chest and put it in Eric's hand.
"Don't cry, Eric, take this."
Eric wiped his eyes and asked
"What's this?"
"This is a medal"
"How much can the medal be exchanged for?"
"How much can a medal be exchanged for? Well, you are right. There is a blue stone in this medal awarded to me by the city builder. Did you see it?"
"Saw"
"That stone is the purest crystal of the earth's marrow and can be sold for a lot of money. Any buyer with a little knowledge can see its value at a glance and buy it at a high price."
"This is the only thing on me that is worth money, except for the gun. You need to come here to take risks and make money because of your family, so you deserve this medal."
Eric tightly grasped the medal in his hand, as if he was holding his father's health, and would never let it go.
"Thank you...thank you……"
He hesitated for a moment, then turned his gaze to Xia Zhihui.
"Her name is Bronya"
"Thank you, Sister Bronya"
"It's okay, just leave along the way we came. Be careful on the road, we still have to go to the orphanage to look for other supplies."
"Well, after leaving the market, the main road to the orphanage is blocked by a huge icy monster. You can't get through. If you want to go to the orphanage, you can only go around the street from the store."
The unexpected information made Bronya nod her head.
"Okay, you can go back soon."
After Eric's figure disappeared at the end of the road they came from, Xia Zhihui put the steel plate into the system space.
Seele, who had seen it several times, didn't care anymore, and asked Bronya instead.
"You actually gave him something. Judging from your expression, that thing must be very precious to you, right?"
"Is it okay to just give it to him like this?"
Bronya shook her head.
"If a medal can save his father's life, then it's worth it."
"He is a well-known thief in the homeless camp."
"He is not.
Xia Zhihui said abruptly
"After I caught him stealing last time, he hasn't stolen anything again."
"That's why I plan to give him money this time, but I don't have much money."
"His father is lying in the gold digger camp in the mechanical settlement. You should have seen him, Clara."
The white-haired little girl shook her head.
"Clara couldn't remember clearly, there were many patients lying in the gold diggers' camp."
That's true. Gold diggers refer to wanderers who are protected by Swarro, and Swarro can only guarantee their safety and the most basic food supply. Once a person is sick or injured, Swarro can do nothing.
In this way, when the patients in the gold diggers' camp are in a better mood, they go to collect some parts and exchange more supplies from Swarro, and when they are more uncomfortable, they can only lie in the camp to rest.
Looking at the confused Clara, Xia Zhihui had no choice but to turn around and look at the orphanage in the distance.
Xier followed his gaze and asked
"Should we fight now, or go around?"
""Go around!"
Xia Zhihui made a quick judgment, as if he hadn't considered it at all, but in fact he still explained
"There is an outer universe of ice there. None of the five of us can fight head-on, and we don't have the power of fire."
"If Hook were here, we might be able to save a lot of time by going over there instead of going around, but given the current situation, the possibility is even lower than Scott not wanting to make money."
Xi'er tilted her head and thought for a while, and agreed with Xia Zhihui's statement.
"Okay, let's take a detour."
Staring at the system map, Xia Zhihui continued to lead a few people through various alleys, and climbed up a few floors from time to time.
Rivet Town is more like a maze built on a mine than a town, which reminds Xia Zhihui of the mountain town in his previous life, which is also the case. The straight-line distance looks only a few hundred meters, but the actual distance of several kilometers is considered simple.
The same is true for the orphanage. Although you can see the highest building as soon as you enter Rivet Town, in fact, getting to the door of the orphanage is no different from climbing half a mountain.
Fortunately, except for Xia Zhihui, the rest are people who have embarked on a destiny, with good physical fitness and strong recovery ability.
When they reached the stairs in front of the main entrance of the orphanage, Xia Zhihui consumed the most physical strength. Even Clara was more relaxed than him and was carried on Yarlin's back early.
Xia Zhihui leaned against the wall downstairs of the orphanage with one hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Let's go, it's right up there"
""Hmm."
Several people climbed up the stairs. The desolate ground around them was overgrown with weeds, withered yellow grass leaves and tender green new shoots growing side by side, giving people a weird and mysterious feeling.
The color of the outer wall of the orphanage was already mottled, and the rift had left strange traces on the wall. Black unknown substances clung to the wall, as if they were dead, but they seemed to rush out like they were prey in the next moment.
People looked at it and subconsciously wanted to stay away.
Several people knew that this was a normal phenomenon of rift erosion, so they didn't pay much attention to it.
The dusty windows and broken iron railings showed that no one had cared about this place for many years. The children's graffiti on the wall, which was once full of colors, had been stained by time and only a vague trace remained.
