Shadow Spy

Chapter 11 The survival of the Republic of China depends on the system

After sleeping for ten hours, Li Junhao woke up. It was already past three in the afternoon. He didn't get up after hearing no movement outside. He still lay down and looked at the system panel in his mind.

The "system startup pre-task" on the blue screen has been completed, and because he completed the task nearly ten hours ahead of schedule and doubled the amount, he was rated as "excellent" and successfully started the "Republic of China Survival System" , and in addition to giving newbies gift packs, additional rewards are added - double the carry-on space and protecting the body from biochemical toxins.

He had already used his personal space to put away a large amount of supplies in Warehouse No. [-]. He knew that this space was as useful as the ones described in the novels of his previous life. He could store and store items within a distance of one meter with his thoughts, but this system He really needs to understand the other contents.

The translucent light blue screen was floating in his sea of ​​​​consciousness. He observed carefully and found something new on the screen. Right below the screen were four small square boxes that were also blue, but with a slightly darker color. When pressing the button, the task, space, mall, and status are displayed respectively. Now he sees the task interface.

Selecting the space button, a somewhat vast scene appeared. It seemed to be a piece of land floating alone in the dark gray mist. It seemed to be several square kilometers in size. The ground seemed to be black glazed, flat and empty. The supplies he had collected before were Stacked in a corner of the land, sorted into categories, stacked high.

In this space, there is a small house with white walls and black tiles in the middle of the ground, which is only a few dozen square meters. At the top of the entire space is a soft blue "sky", which is bright and clean, and it is very seductive to look at.

Li Junhao thought. Since there is a house in this portable space, can his body also come in?I tried it as soon as I thought of it, and after several efforts to mobilize my consciousness, I finally successfully "came in"!
He appeared in the small house and took a look. It was a typical northern-style building with three rooms on the front, a hall in the middle, and a room on the left and right. Everything was empty and there was not a single item.He tried several times and couldn't get out of the house!However, here, he can still use his consciousness and see the system panel, and he can easily "take" and put back the materials in the open space outside!He didn't know what the significance of this restriction was, but he thought the system had its own reasons!
The third button at the bottom of the system panel is "Mall". After clicking it, there are two pages, namely "Transaction" and "Synthesis"; there are only three commodities in the "Transaction" interface: cotton yarn, tung oil, and rice!Hey, when he realized it, weren't these the types of materials he had collected in the space?This means that I can sell these three types of materials to the mall, or buy these three types of materials from the mall?
He experimented, selected a piece of cotton yarn, and clicked "Sell". It displayed: "Selling a piece of cotton yarn, the current price is 2.5 gold coins, please confirm the sale. Note: The system charges a 10% handling fee."

2.5 gold coins?What's the meaning?What currency is this?Li Junhao was a little confused.And there is also a 10% handling fee!Does the system still make money?After searching, I found a small gold coin image in the upper right corner of the transaction interface, but the number displayed was "0"!
He hesitated for a moment and did not confirm, so he decided to wait and figure out the concept and value of this gold coin.So, he chose to cancel.Then I tried to buy a piece of cotton yarn. The price was still 2.5 gold coins, but there was no handling fee when selling it, which was okay!
Open the "Synthesis" module, which is empty except for a few dotted boxes lined with equations.Li Junhao thought for a moment, then left the space cabin and returned to the bedroom of the suite. He found the paper knife and the Kodachi he brought back, and placed them in the two boxes on the left side of the synthesis interface, with a "+" sign in the middle. , and then a small virtual straight knife with some changes appeared in the box with the "=" sign on the right, and a confirmation option appeared next to it: "The materials can be synthesized into a short Tang straight knife, which requires 1 gold coin. Confirm?"

I want gold coins again!But he doesn’t have it now!After thinking about it, gold coins are just money. I brought the money back!So he took out a large stack of US dollars and pounds from the pocket of the suit he wore yesterday, first put a 50-pound note into his pocket, and then clicked on the pattern of the gold coin. Sure enough, it showed: "Convertible currency found. Do you want to exchange it?" This time he did not hesitate and directly confirmed that the 50 pound banknote in the pocket disappeared and the number of gold coins changed to 50!

You don’t need to do any calculations to figure out that the value of this gold coin is equivalent to the pound sterling. When chatting with everyone in Phoenix Village yesterday, he learned that the current official exchange rate is 1 pound = 4.2 US dollars = 21 French currency = 17.22 silver dollars (Mexican Eagle Ocean). It seems that This system benchmarks gold coins against the current international currency with the highest currency value.

As a lecturer, Li Junhao had inquired about the currency values ​​of major currencies during the Republic of China era in his previous life. He vaguely remembered that although the United Kingdom was forced to abandon the gold standard on September 1931, 9 due to the global economic crisis and stopped converting pounds into gold, due to the need for foreign exchange controls, In 21, the nominal gold content of 1935 pound was still 1 grams; it was considered a gold coin worthy of the name.

There are gold coins, and the synthesis is confirmed. The synthesis interface flashes slightly, the paper knife and the Kodachi disappear together with the sheath, and the small straight knife pattern on the right changes from virtual to solid and becomes real.As soon as he realized something, a small bronze-colored sheathed small straight knife appeared in his hand. He pulled it out of its sheath. The blade was gunmetal gray. Although it was a bit dull, it felt like there was a chill!He knew it was a good knife without trying it.

Well, this is how synthesis is used, it’s similar to the game, so it’s more fun.

Temporarily closing the mall, he selected the "Status" button again, and a portrait appeared in front of him, just like a character picture in the game, with his name Li Junhao on his head, a red blood tank on the left, and a red blood tank on the right. The blue energy tank; each part of the character map shows his current status and equipment. On the current character map, he only has a pair of underwear on him, and the status of each part shows the word "extremely weak" in very light green. !
He checked the status and found that it was divided into nine levels: endangered, injured, extremely weak, weak, ordinary, strong, extremely strong, super strong, and extraordinary. He was now in the third to last level!
At the foot of the character diagram is a row of ten small grids with dotted borders. The note is "Quick Equipment Bar". The weapons and equipment placed in it can be used quickly, but at this time they are all empty.
