Chapter 680 Unboxing
Looking at Stifal in front of him, Duanmuhuai couldn't help but become a little nervous.
This was not because Stifal was a beauty, but because he suddenly thought of a question.
In the game, Stifal is a rare official merchant NPC, and players cannot buy her things with game currency.
By the way, when players travel through various worlds, each world has a different exchange rate for game currency. After completing tasks, players receive credit coins, which are considered a standard currency used in the Inquisition space station. When they travel to other worlds, their currency will be automatically converted into the local currency. Of course, because the currency exchange rates in each world are different, players often see their wallet numbers ranging from six to three digits. Back and forth...
But generally speaking, the lower the better, because a low number means that the currency value is high, and the things you can buy will be strong. On the contrary, if the value is low, it will be troublesome.
In the real world, of course, Duanmu Huai does not have a system that automatically converts currencies. In fact, when Duanmu Huai goes to most worlds, he almost always uses the most primitive method of bartering. For example, when the High Tower Council bought the Tribunal's cruiser, Duanmu Huai did not want their currency, but chose to use raw materials to pay off the debt.
Even for the Star Alliance, Duanmu Huai allows them to use resources and star systems as rewards, as well as some political conveniences.
In the final analysis, this world does not have a unified business system, and most people like a certain rogue trader go out in a similar way. In fact, even during the empire period, most of the time taxes were collected in kind instead of money. Some recruiting planets directly used their military resources instead of taxes.
In this case, you have to talk about money - Duanmu Huai basically doesn't have it, but he doesn't lack it either.
Take the world of Faerûn as an example. Of course Duanmuhuai has no local currency, but is this a problem? He has mined so many asteroids in outer space. Not to mention other things, he will just bring you a piece of gold as high as a hill. In most worlds, you will basically become rich immediately.
Of course, there is also a currency that is universal across the galaxy, and can be used by both good and evil in order and chaos.
That’s the soul (laughs).
Okay, let’s get down to business.
Stifal is actually a merchant in the official mall, and her products are purchased with star coins - the game mall coins that players specifically purchase after spending money.
To put it bluntly, he is a kryptonian gold businessman.
Duanmu Huai's system cannot activate the recharge mode, and he doesn't have a credit card, so naturally he has no star coins to use. So Duanmu Huai was very curious, what would Stifal let him pay the bill?
Moreover, Stifal can come up with many strange things in the game. This is of course easy to explain in the game, but how can she explain it in reality?
Is this really reality? Or a game?
"What do you need?"
"I need some soul cards."
Duanmuhuai walked to the counter, stared at Stifal, and spoke like he did in the game, but Stifal didn't care.
"Of course there is no problem. Do you have any requirements?"
"Well... I have a territory that needs to be managed, so I need someone with a high level of internal affairs. By the way, I need soul cards that are mainly human."
"I understand."
Stifal didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with what Duanmu Huai said. She just nodded, and then thought about it for a moment.
"Since you have such a request, I can recommend you a set of squire decks."
"Acolyte deck?"
"That's right, a set of ten, including regent, councilor, general, financial officer, high priest, diplomat, magic advisor, chief of guard, chairman of the jury and intelligence officer."
"So troublesome?"
"Others will be in charge of the regent. If you don't have time, you can just listen to the regent's report directly."
"That's pretty much it."
Duanmuhuai breathed a sigh of relief and joked. He was not in the mood to manage a territory. It would be great to have someone to take care of it now. Just like Aikote, you can leave the specific matters to others, and you only need to be responsible for being a rubber stamp.
"What else?"
"There are five types: Classic Edition, Deluxe Edition, Limited Collection Edition, Complete Collection Edition, and Royal Ultimate Collection Edition..."
"Great, I want the Royal Ultimate Collector's Edition."
Duanmu Huai either didn't buy it or bought the best one. He decisively chose one, and then... that was the key point.
"There's just one problem. I don't have any money. What are you going to let me use to pay the bill?"
"Hmm..."
Facing Duanmuhuai's almost rogue inquiry, Stifal put his finger on his chin and thought for a moment.
"If you don't have the currency of this world, you can use divine power instead..."
"Hu——————"
However, before Stifal finished speaking, Duanmuhuai suddenly grabbed the war hammer behind him and swung it at Stifal. The huge thunder hammer swept over Stifal's head and stayed on her head. side.
"Who are you?"
Duanmuhuai stared at Stifal coldly. From the moment he entered the door, he had always thought that the other person was just an ordinary human being. However, Stifal saw through his true identity in an instant, so there was a problem. .
"Are you someone related to this game? What kind of world am I in now? Is it reality? Or is it a game?" "Master?"
Seeing Duanmuhuai take action without saying a word, Ojisi's eyes widened in surprise, and Qianwei was even more frightened. But as soon as Qianwei opened her mouth, Duanmuhuai waved his hand to signal her not to speak.
"Answer my question."
"Hey..."
Facing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Stifal didn't care at all. She didn't even seem to notice the huge warhammer next to her head at all, and just spread her hands helplessly.
"Even if you say so, I am just a businessman walking among the planes. Buying and selling goods is my duty. No matter who the other party is, as long as there is business to do, I am just a businessman doing my duty. As for your second question......"
As he spoke, Stifal stretched out his finger, raised it to his mouth, and smiled slightly.
"It doesn't really make sense."
"Huh?"
"Is this reality, fantasy, or a game? Is there any difference? You are currently living in this world. For you, this is the most important thing, isn't it? Maybe the world we live in is just a book, written by someone Unknown beings may write our lives, and may even sell our stories to others. But even so, what if you know this? The world is still going on, and life is still going on. Go ahead, won’t you?”
"......Well, you are right."
Duanmu Huai was silent for a moment and put down his war hammer. Players had discussed similar issues for a long time. Some people had also posted on the forum, claiming that their universe was actually another advanced civilization's Sims game. Their every move was actually the same as the Sims game. Like the villains in the book, they are watched by higher-level beings, and many times the weird thoughts that suddenly pop up in people's minds are actually those higher-level beings that directly control your actions and thoughts.
For example, you want to eat, but suddenly go to the toilet. Because your hygiene meter is almost full, a higher-dimensional player takes control of you.
But...does this make sense?
Of course not.
People can live their lives however they want. All speculations are just delusions before getting concrete evidence.
Some people might be overly concerned, but Duanmuhuai didn't care so much. Just like Stifal said, just do whatever you want.
Could it be that now that he knows that this world is a game or a novel, he suddenly has an epiphany, trembles all over, and transcends the void?
Of course it's impossible.
"All I can say is that your existence is very important to this world."
“But it’s not indispensable, right?”
"This... depends on your own efforts."
"Okay..."
Obviously, there is only so much the other party can say. Although there is no good answer, it is okay. Duanmu Huai took the card handed over by the other party, and then injected his own magical power into a crystal ball-like thing in Stifal's hand - the complete collection version is certainly expensive, but fortunately, with Duanmu Huai's current magical power, it is also expensive. Not enough to pay. Of course, the God of Destruction's divine power experience, which had increased by almost half before, has now been completely exhausted.
This thing is really more expensive than money.
But krypton gold is like this (spread your hands).
After putting away the cards, Duanmuhuai immediately opened a portal and returned to his own world. After all, it was very important to build the territory next. As for the troubles on Alleria's side... we could only deal with them later. .
Reopening the door and returning to Faerun was more troublesome than crawling in before. Duanmuhuai's portal opened directly into the ground. In desperation, he had to dig a passage, and finally climbed out from the ground dozens of meters deep.
"Woo... Bah, bah, bah, my clothes are all dirty..."
Climbing out of the pit and looking at the dust on her head and face, Qiangwei wanted to cry but Ogis shook her head.
"Don't complain."
"So what if I complain a few times?"
"We are puppets, we will do whatever the master wants."
"Could it be that if the master wants to jump into the lava, you will jump in and be burned to death?"
"Of course."
"Okay, you two shut up, my head hurts..."
Duanmu Huai helplessly interrupted the useless quarrel between Ojis and Qiu Wei. Then he reached out and took out the card box and looked at the sealed cards inside.
According to Stifal, the reason why this "Royal Ultimate Collection Edition" is expensive is because it contains royal families from all over the world. The reason why they are willing to conclude a contract and turn it into soul cards is to learn political experience. , thereby working hard to return to their own world and build a country.
Of course, the term of the contract is one hundred years.
Well, thanks to the soul card, if it were a mortal, wouldn't it be a proper devil?
So, let’s see how lucky you are.
Looking at the cards in front of him, Duanmuhuai took a deep breath. Stifal said that the Royal Ultimate Collector's Edition guarantees three legendary cards... So how many cards can he get?
Not much to say, just open the card and you’ll find out!
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai opened the card box without hesitation.
