While having breakfast, Wang Huan used a first-grade spar and asked the waiter who was serving him about a series of drastic changes that had taken place in human society after the outbreak of the S-type virus. What he heard was roughly the following:
First, three billion people infected with the S-type virus discovered that they were cured of a super cold almost at the same time, and then their bodies mutated - with fangs growing in their mouths, sharp claws on their hands, and hair covering their bodies. This change of theirs naturally surprised and frightened them; but more importantly, it made the ordinary people around them feel uneasy and frightened.
Then, after experiencing the initial discomfort and uneasiness, a huge number of mutants slowly adapted to their own changes. After all, it was not just me who mutated, but countless others, everywhere in the world. Half of the population has mutated. From the initial fear and anxiety to the later calmness, it lasted for almost a month.
Then, many mutants slowly began to discover that as mutants, they seemed to have more advantages than ordinary people. Specifically, they became stronger and ran faster than before. Fast, impact resistance and recovery ability after injury are increased to varying degrees. At this time, many mutants began to realize that they were not a group cursed by God, but a new group of humans who were blessed in disguise and favored by God.
It has been almost a month since the mutants adapted to their identities and became proud of their physical changes. This change in the orcs was called the "awakening of the orcs" by later anthropologists.
After awakening, the orcs gradually began to gather and get closer, forming large and small orc organizations and groups based on their own strength, or to be precise, based on the level of the brain cores in the brain.
At this time, the orcs were irritable, bloodthirsty, easily irritated and their strong aggressiveness was quickly displayed. The result is that large and small bloody conflicts have occurred between ordinary people and orcs, and more and more conflicts and hatred have accumulated. Especially after the incidents of "orcs eating people" were discovered in many places and were exposed by the human media, the entire human race The society (ordinary people) was in an uproar, condemning this anti-human and anti-social animal behavior and demanding severe punishment for the murderer.
Of course, the murderer was punished by the public security organs of various places. But after the "orcs eat humans" incident, the final result was a complete break between orcs and ordinary people. Orcs no longer dare to stay with orcs, and orcs disdain to associate with ordinary people. In the end, ordinary people and orcs formed their own groups based on region, and were isolated from each other.
Through communication with the waiter, Wang Huan learned that the front line of Shuangqing Wushan is currently a human-controlled area, but several surrounding suburban counties are controlled by orcs. The situation is similar across the country, and even in all parts of the world. Orcs and ordinary people each control about half of the area. These areas, based on cities and counties, are intertwined with each other, some are connected, and some become "isolated islands", surrounded by Isolated by "foreigners".
The first thing the orcs do when they gather is to frantically destroy the power grid and transportation within the territory, destroy roads, pry rails, and cut off the connection between humans. Modern human society is basically built on the basis of electricity and logistics. Once the power is cut off and transportation is destroyed, mankind is almost thrown back to the farming society of a year and a hundred years ago.
This is also the reason why Wushan County is now dark at night.
At the same time, the waiter who got the spar told him that Wushan currently belongs to the military-controlled government - not just Wushan, but also all over the country, or the whole world. The top leaders of the county, the actual rulers, belong to the group that controlled the armed police force and police agencies previously stationed in Wushan.
When Wang Huan came out, it was the time when humans and orcs were dividing the world and each was determining its own territory. Seeing that Shuangqing and Wushan were still under human control, he couldn't help but feel happy secretly.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
The so-called currency trading market is just a transformation of the former bank. There are several coin trading markets in Wushan County, among which the Wushan County Branch of the Bank of China, which used to be next to the county party committee and county government, is the largest.
However, it is no longer called the Bank of China, but has been changed by the local military control government to the "Wushan Coin Trading Market. Its main function is to provide local people with savings and exchange of various currencies.
Due to the destruction of orcs, various human settlements have been cut off or basically cut off from communication with the outside world. Various materials are in extreme shortage. Paper currency has devalued and prices have soared. Gold and silver that were previously uncirculated have "reappeared" under this situation. "Jianghu" continues to play the role of general equivalents.
In addition, the crystals in the minds of orcs and some beasts are also added - animal crystals, which are harder than diamonds and do not oxidize or corrode.Eclipse, an extremely rare transparent crystal.
When Wang Huan came to the coin trading market, he found that, like the Goddess Hotel, the small square in front of the bank had been surrounded by a high wall. There was a gate in the middle of the wall, and the entrance was guarded by armed police with live ammunition.
Wang Huan entered the door, and many citizens had gathered in the square inside to handle various exchange transactions. Due to the power outage, the employees of the trading market naturally could not sit behind bulletproof glass and use computers as before. Instead, they moved the counter to the square in front for on-site work.
Wang Huan walked around and found that there were basically no people coming to save, they were all doing some exchange business. For example, exchange the gold and silver jewelry on your body for gold and silver beans, or brain cores; or exchange the more valuable and difficult-to-use second-level crystals for first-level crystals, or gold and silver beans.
"Golden beans and silver beans" are small gold and silver nuggets shaped like beans, each made of five grams of gold and silver in various human settlements for the convenience of trade after the great changes. In this way, one gold bean is equivalent to 5 first-grade crystals, 20 silver beans, and 2,000 yuan, which is a relatively large monetary unit.
After going around in a circle, Wang Huan discovered that the exchange ratio between the second-level crystal and the first-level crystal today was 1:96; while the exchange ratio between the three-pole crystal and the second-level crystal was 1:99. If it becomes a first-level crystal, it is equivalent to 9504 crystals.
" However, the three-pole crystal only indicates the exchange rate. Wang Huan stayed in the trading market for more than ten or twenty minutes, but no one took it out to exchange it.
After understanding the market situation, Wang Huan no longer hesitated and walked to a counter where no business was being processed. He took out the three-pole crystal and the remaining four secondary crystals that he had prepared in advance from his pocket~Watch on mobile] 258o* He handed the stone to the trader and said calmly:
"Hello, please replace all of them with first-level crystal stones for me"
The trader, who was wearing a bank uniform in his previous life, rubbed his eyes and stared at the sky-blue crystal the size of a glass bead. He blinked a few times, then raised his head and looked at Wang with some stuttering. Huan, said:
"First, sir, what did you say?"
"Please change them all to first-level beast crystals," Wang Huan repeated.
"Ah, are they all replaced with first-level beast crystals?"
"Yes, is there any problem with replacing them all with first-level beast crystals?"
"No problem, no problem." The young trader shook his head quickly, and then looked embarrassed, "However, you have too many first-level beast crystals to exchange at one time. Can you exchange part of the beast crystals for you, and exchange the rest for gold, silver, or Paper money?¡±
??A Tripolar Crystal Stone, according to the current exchange ratio, can be exchanged for 9504 first-level crystal stones, which is close to 4 million yuan. Even in many banks in the previous life, it was not necessarily possible to get so much cash at one time.
Wang Huan frowned and thought to himself, could it be that such a large coin trading market doesn¡¯t even have 10,000 first-level crystals?
"You don't need any gold or silver banknotes, just replace them all with first-level beast crystals. If you don't have that many here, forget it. Just replace these four second-level beast crystals with first-level beast crystals."
Seeing that Wang Huan was unwilling to change to other currencies and insisted on only having first-level beast crystals, the young trader felt that this person was a bit strange, but he was not willing to let the transaction go because of this. You know, if he can make this sale, he can get at least 5 first-level beast crystals and a reward of 2,000 yuan.
The trader gritted his teeth and said to Wang Huan: "Sir, please wait here for a while. I will ask our manager for instructions and try my best to meet your requirements." After saying that, he left the counter and hurried towards the office building behind.
After the trader left, in order to avoid attracting attention, Wang Huan put the five crystal stones placed on the counter back into his pocket. He stood by the counter and looked towards the square. He saw many people, intentionally or unintentionally. Aiming at him.
Wang Huan didn¡¯t take it seriously and continued to wait at the counter.
A few minutes later, the young trader led a short, fat middle-aged man out of the bank building.
"Sir, this is our manager Jia." The trader introduced the middle-aged man to Wang Huan. Then he turned to the middle-aged man named Jia, bent down, and said respectfully: "Manager Jia, this is the customer who wants to exchange for the Tripolar Beast Crystal."
"Hello, my surname is Jia, Jia Fugui, brother, what is your surname?" Jia Fugui smiled with a smile on his face and extended his hand enthusiastically, wanting to shake Wang Huan's hand.
"King" Wang Huanxi's words were like gold. He only said one word, but put his hands in his trouser pockets, not wanting to shake hands with this manager Jia.
"Haha, Jia Shi Wang Xue. Brother Wang, hundreds of years ago, we were all one family. Let's go and talk to the VIP inside the building." Seeing that Wang Huan did not shake hands with him, Jia Fugui's expression did not change and his smile became even brighter. Concentrated, he cleverly turned the stretched out fat hand, wiped it on his head, and thenHe bent down slightly and made a gesture of invitation.
In his previous life, the bank had a VIP room dedicated to handling business for large depositors. Wang Huan still knew about this. So, without doubting his presence, he followed Jia Fugui's lead.
