The work points were set by Black Rock City. They could get as many as they wanted. It was impossible for them not to be able to exchange them.

Xiang Ka sighed. Xiang Li was still too well protected by the White Elephant Tribe. When the shops in Black Stone City only accepted work points in exchange, he had an elusive idea in his mind.

The Orc Continent has always practiced barter, and this kind of intermediary has never appeared.

Why did Black Rock City set up this medium?

Lang Rui and Lang Yu were also confused.

As leaders, the two did not understand the real purpose of Qiao Xin's doing this, which was definitely not just for the convenience of carrying as it seemed on the surface.

What they could see clearly was that as the scale of exchanges grew larger and more complex, barter could no longer meet people's needs.

But they had no idea of ​​the deeper purpose, so Qiao Xin could only explain to them, "It's not only for the convenience of the people and fair transactions, but also for the stability of the rule. If the rulers coordinate prices, they can stop the nobles from raising prices and control inflation, so as to avoid the people from living in poverty."

At present, they are the only ones who can make special pigments and write work points. No one can imitate them, so it can be regarded as a medium.

When she has some free time, she can make paper and then apply the ancient silver note system, which will be more convenient.

While Lang Rui and Lang Yu were lost in thought, Qiao Xin decided to go out for a stroll.

After spending the past few days preparing for the performance, Qiao Xin finally had some free time. Her womanly instinct to shop was awakened. She went back to change out of her light armor, put on a linen long-sleeved dress, tied her hair into a bun, put on a mask, and left the city gate.

Qiao Xin didn't go shopping in the shops, but went straight to the stalls.

Before I even entered, I saw Wolf Night on patrol.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and Lang Ye frowned: "...Why are you here? Go to the shops over there, it's too messy here."

Lang Ye knew that Qiao Xin was not particular about details and didn't care about nobles or commoners. He was quite down-to-earth. However, the stall was indeed too messy. These people didn't pay attention to personal hygiene at all. They were all very dirty, and there was nothing good to see.

Qiao Xin didn't think so. The shops were full of big tribes and traveling merchants, and they might not necessarily have what she wanted.

Seeing that she refused to listen and insisted on going over here, Lang Ye gave a few instructions to the team members and followed her.

Qiao Xin is very important to the Huaxia tribe, and even more important to Lang Rui. He can't let anything happen to her.

This is a flat rectangular area with fences. The weather is not cold yet, and no one has set up tents. Many people are sitting or squatting in front of their stalls. As soon as Qiao Xin entered, a clever boy came up and said, "Sir, do you need a guide?"

Lang Ye frowned and was about to yell when he heard Qiao Xin say, "Okay! What do you need?"

Tuji has a baby face. When he smiles, two shallow dimples are faintly visible. His clean face and fingers make people feel good about him.

"Sir, I only need a pound of flour."

Lang Ye sneered, "Don't ask for too much, half a catty."

Tu Ji lowered his eyelids, afraid that the surprise in his eyes would be seen by the other party and he would not want to be his guide anymore.

Qiao Xin saw the other party's happiness, which was not well hidden, and didn't care much. "Let's go. I need some new things. If the transaction is successful, it will be more than half a pound."

Tu Ji looked up suddenly, "Really?" It was rare to meet such a generous customer, Tu Ji felt incredible.

Qiao Xin nodded, "Of course."

Tu Ji was extremely excited and introduced a wooden stall as he passed by: "This is the Barbarian Bull Tribe, which was once one of the most powerful tribes in the Qatar Plain. They have a kind of green sweet potato that is particularly delicious."

A sneer of contempt came from the side, "That was in the past. Now, haha, we can't even afford to rent a shop. We can only squeeze in with these small tribes."

A tall young man with exaggerated muscles sat behind the stall, veins throbbing on his forehead. Another young man, equally tall and calm, pressed him to the ground, as if he could not hear the sneer, and was busy arranging the animal skins on the stall.

The one who sneered was a short male with blond hair. When he saw Qiao Xin looking at him, he immediately put on a flattering smile, "Good day, Your Excellency."

Qiao Xin glanced at him up and down, "Good day."

The blond male tried to move closer but was stopped by WolfRain, who stared at him coldly.

He touched his nose awkwardly and stepped aside without saying anything. If it was before the armed exercise, he might not have been so fawning, but things are different now. Their tribe suffered many casualties in this divine punishment. Although they were slightly better off than the Barbarian Bull Tribe, they were also badly damaged.

Qiao Xin's eyes swept across the calm young man, and without pausing, fell on the boy behind him holding a green straw in his hand, and asked Tu Ji, "Is that the green sweet straw?"

Tuji nodded quickly, "Yes, sir, that is the green sweet pole."

Tu Ji winked at Niu Chi who was hiding behind Niu Ming.

Niu Chi and Tu Ji, who were equally tall, stared at each other for a long time, but still couldn't understand what Tu Ji meant.

Tu Ji was so angry that he rushed over, snatched the green sweet stick from his hand, and handed it to Qiao Xin respectfully with both hands, "Sir, you try it."

Lang Ye looked at the green sweet potato with teeth marks all over it, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He took the green sweet potato, pulled out the bone knife from his body, cut off the part with the teeth marks, leaving only a section as long as his forearm. He peeled off the green skin on the outside and handed it to Qiao Xin.

Just as Qiao Xin was about to eat, she remembered that she was wearing a mask. She pulled down the mask and took a bite. It was sweet and juicy, a bit like the stalks of sweet sorghum.

"How many of these green sweet potatoes did you bring? I want them all." Qiao Xin didn't waste any words with them. How could she miss such a good raw material for making sugar?

The calm young man was called Niu Chen, and he looked surprised, "Sir, you want green sweet potato?" They had so many animal skins in their stall, but you didn't like them? But you wanted green sweet potato!

"We don't have much with us, we can give it to adults."

"Brother." Niu's eyes turned red. Green sweet potato was their food to fill their stomachs. They ate it with the juice and the residue. Although it would make their throats sore, it would fill their stomachs.

They have all been given to this adult, so what will they eat next?

Black Rock City was very kind and offered them a bowl of porridge as long as they drank the medicine and didn't cause any trouble. But who wouldn't want to eat more food?

"I want all your hides."

All of Niu Chi's words of protest were stuck in his throat because of Qiao Xin's words, and now it's all gone!

Niu Chen was even more surprised. He asked Niu Gu to give the green sweet potato wrapped in animal skins to the lord, and he began to pack the animal skins. "Sir, I want to exchange these animal skins for salt and medicinal soup."

Qiao Xin took out her work points card and said, "I can exchange salt for you, but I'm afraid I can't exchange it for the medicinal soup. Although the medicinal soup you drink can cure the plague, it contains a special ingredient. Even if you take it back, it won't have the same effect. You can only drink it here."

There was an uproar at the scene because of Qiao Xin's words. Speculation is one thing, and getting a definite answer is another.

Some people excitedly picked up their things and rushed over to Qiao Xin, "Sir, I also have animal skins here, I also want to exchange for medicinal soup."
