Chapter 19 Displacement
Next time.
Song Shi first went to the exchange office and exchanged most of his credit points for digital currency.
The stability of digital currency is not very high, and it is quite susceptible to the influence of macroeconomics, technological progress, etc. There are even digital currencies held one day worth hundreds of thousands of credit points, which can be lost instantly the next day. Plunged, leaving only a few thousand credits.
But this thing is safe enough and suitable for anonymous transactions, so it is not easy to be detected.
Song Shi fought his way out of the institute.
In other words, he has torn up the "Volunteer Service Contract", which is equivalent to a breach of contract and a violation of the law.
No matter how slow the institute is, it is estimated that his personal account will be blocked and various financial accounts will be deactivated within the next two days. If he does not quickly convert his credit points into digital currencies now, they will be worthless after a while. , completely useless.
Although.
"There are two hundred dinosaur coins, Teddy coins, and Demon coins in total."
Song Shi checked it a little.
These bits and pieces of various digital currencies, according to the recent currency fluctuation index of the exchange house, add up to about 10,000 credit points - this is Song Shi's entire net worth.
To say more is definitely not much, but to say less is really very little.
These 10,000 credits are the sum of the working money that I have accumulated intermittently since I was a child and the farewell expenses that everyone in the welfare home raised when I became independent.
But the problem is not big.
Song Shi has already thought of a way to make money quickly, and he can try it tomorrow.
Thousand Stars City (Paloser area).
Underground weapons dealer "House of Sweet Wine".
This is the weapons dealer recommended by Tom. According to him, the service is good and the price is fair. The only drawback is that the weapons may not be first-hand, and the sources are also strange——
But Not a big problem.
At least the basics of soaking in disinfectant water, removing obvious stains, replacing parts that are too worn, as well as erasing the production mark certification and cracking the weapon use permissions are all available. You can use them at your fingertips without having to worry about trouble.
Song Shi bought a total of two pieces of equipment with digital currency worth four thousand credits.
A second-hand multifunctional engineering shovel, made of carbon steel, cold forged and polished, its strength is still guaranteed. The disadvantage is that the original liquid pump boosting device is completely broken and cannot be repaired. Now It can only be used by personal brute force, and it costs two thousand and five credit points.
The other item is an ammunition box with a total of 140 rounds. It contains common ammunition such as ordinary steel core bullets, armor-piercing bullets, white phosphorus incendiary bombs, and five additional fragmentation grenades. In the Song Dynasty, At Shi Shi's request, he replaced it with two Electronic Pulse Grenades (EMP), which cost him one thousand and five credits.
When faced with a highly modified prosthetic body, unless the opponent has been implanted with an anti-electronic interference module, the effect of an electronic pulse (EMP) is far stronger than an ordinary fragmentation grenade.
As for firearms.
Song Shi already has the kinetic energy pistol "Black Powder" that he ripped off from the security guard of the institute. This thing has quite good firepower, but the range is a little short, but it is enough for now. He can just buy some special ammunition. Just one click will do.
“Thank you for your patronage! Welcome to come again next time!”
The virtual service portal of “Sweet Wine House” is a bar with gorgeous decoration and a smiling woman at the bar. Song Shi greeted him warmly as he walked out - this woman is essentially an interactive interface, not something as high-end as artificial intelligence.
Now the appearance of this "woman" is equivalent to the "weapon purchase interface" wearing a skin, which is simply more pleasing to the eye.
"Arrived at the locker within two days, the efficiency is pretty good."
Song Shi thought as he walked out of the Sweet Wine House.
The "storage cabinet" here is of course not a cabinet at home, but a smart express delivery cabinet from a well-known company [Long Distance Logistics]. [Long Distance Logistics] was originally a relatively traditional transportation company, but the rise of the giant enterprise [Time Series] in recent years, relying on its technological and policy advantages, has powerfully continued to suppress the former's market share.
Speaking of the law?
Chronology is one of the only nine giant companies in the [Enterprise Alliance]. It is a lofty existence that overlooks all living beings like a god. Even the "arbitration institution" of the Enterprise Alliance has to worry about it.
Fight with force?
Chronology makes me laugh even more. If it were not for the restrictions of the "First Standing Arms Act", the former could activate a large number of intelligent control factories under his command at any time, and explode various smart weapons groups one after another, and even Even the ultimate strategic weapon, the space carrier, is not impossible to build a few.
Even regardless of the advantages in technology and productivity, single-round individual force, Chrono Pass still has a fifth-level psyker——
Thirty years ago, the giant enterprise [Pure White Creature] 】In the war of large companies that went bankrupt and disintegrated, [Emerald Pharmaceutical] received the most inheritance and gained the most, but the one who really contributed the most was [Chronological Pass]. The latter, which was not a giant at the time, was willing to take over the position of the pure white creature at all costs. , so crazy.
It cannot be defeated by reason, but it cannot be defeated by force.
So, [long-distance logistics] is in decline, and its market in the transportation industry is shrinking, so it can only find another way.
Thus, "Locker" was born.
This is an anonymous "express locker" that uses some special anonymous technology salvaged from the [Abyss] for long-distance logistics.
The specific principle is very complicated, and the effect is simply that, apart from the transportation process, even [long-distance logistics] itself does not know what the transaction items are and who the transaction objects are, and the two parties to the transaction are obviously more You won't know the other party's information.
Delivery, storage, transaction.
Three steps, no one will know who is on the other side, the whole process is delivered by drone, and the information is kept confidential.
Absolute anonymity, absolute information security.
Some unspeakable people love it most. Many of their unspeakable transactions are greatly protected by "lockers".
With the help of "lockers", [long-distance logistics] suddenly became much stronger and regained a considerable part of the market——
Then, faced with the sudden arrival of [Chronological Passage] at its headquarters one morning, and the overwhelming swarm of intelligently controlled armed drones, Yuanyang Logistics immediately begged for mercy and quickly streamlined the company's departments, retaining only a few businesses with "lockers" as the core. , became a niche elite company.
It is said that at that time, Chronology had seriously considered whether to launch a corporate war to destroy long-distance logistics and seize this anonymous technology that could be called a "black box".
However, Long Distance Logistics is pushing hard, saying that although it is no match, there is still time to destroy this technology.
In addition, the arbitration agency of the enterprise alliance intervened, and in the name of "protecting technology" and "not disturbing the market", Shi Sequential was persuaded to give up the idea.
There are thirteen "locker" spots in Palower, six in the Deep Moss area.
Sweet Wine House is also very smart. It automatically defaults to transactions through lockers and pays the usage fee in advance. Otherwise, Song Shi would not be able to pay the usage fee for the locker now.
Part of the equipment has been purchased.
Paloser’s situation is also understood.
"Looking at it this way, the progress is better than I imagined. The next step is to increase the spiritual power back as soon as possible."
Song Shi looked around and finally settled on the radiant scene. Brilliant sky.
His sight seemed to be through the sky, passing through the overlapping neon buildings, crossing the winding tributaries of the inland sea, and falling into the spotless central hall shrouded by the "artificial canopy".
There, the headquarters building of Jade Pharmaceuticals' Palower branch stands tall, with lights shining all night behind the floor-to-ceiling windows, like eyes without a trace of emotion, indifferently overlooking the mortal beings below. ——
Song Shi raised his head and looked down at this person.
"Come on." He smiled slowly: "The next step is to see who of us falls first."
