Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: Basic Currency System Established

First-floor hall.

Jack chose a corner that didn't affect the overall aesthetics and placed the Recycling Bin he held.

Clang!

A wooden box about the size of a small coffee table appeared before him.

He lightly tapped the top of the box.

A creaking sound came, and the box automatically opened its lid.

Hiss, why does this feel like Stardew Valley? This MC World is getting stranger and stranger, isn't it?

"Let's go! We'll sell some of our harvest from these past few days!"

"Mhm mhm!"

The two walked through the living room towards the underground warehouse.

A few minutes later, they returned, their backpacks now filled with supplies.

"Let me see how good this recycling price is."

Jack first threw in a stack of cobblestone.

"Cobblestone (64): 0 world coin"

Alright, it seems that even the Recycling Bin doesn't take these trash items that are found everywhere.

So Jack threw in a handful of wheat.

"Wheat (64): 50 world coin"

MC World wheat matures in 5 days. If a stack sells for 50 world coin, while it's a bit low, it's not unacceptable, because his 1-meter square plot of land yields more than just one wheat.

Then he put in other items.

"Copper Ingot (64): 50 world coin""Iron Ingot (64): 100 world coin""Tomato (64): 50 world coin""Raw Salmon (30): 120 world coin""Fishing Rod: 3 world coin""Bow: 5 world coin""Bow (Punch II): 7 world coin""Bow (Infinity): 105 world coin""Leather Cap: 8 world coin""Leather Pants: 11 world coin"

...

After a series of inputs, they ultimately managed to earn 875 world coin. Crops and ores were sold in stacks, and equipment was sold proportionally based on the price of its raw materials.

Based on the prices displayed, he also calculated the prices of several raw materials they didn't have yet.

For example, a fishing rod requires 2 lines and 3 wooden sticks.

The wooden sticks are worthless, so 2 strings can be sold for 3 world coins, and a set of strings is 96 world coins. Considering that there are decimals that are not reflected, the strings should be of the same level as iron ingots, which is 100 world coins.

The same goes for leather, which is also worth 100 world coins.

This logic is similar to a module called equivalent exchange.

But there are also differences.

For example, the additional price of equipment enchantment.

The common enchantment terms are in the following order: level 1 +1, level 2 +2, level 3 +4, level 4 +8.

And the noble infinity, one entry is worth 100 entries of others, and the value of 100 world coins is directly added.

After figuring out the value of the supplies, Jack took out the iron ingots and the Infinite Bow, leaving behind items worth 670 world coins to sell.

At present, the income from fishing is higher than that from farming, but if the scale of farming is expanded in the future, the fishing work of only two people will seem a waste of time.

Keqing also understood this and directly suggested, "Jack! Let's cultivate some fields on the western plains tomorrow!"

"I have the same idea. Although fishing makes money quickly, it is not a long-term solution. Next, let's go check out the grocery store."

Jack walked in front, and Keqing followed closely behind him. The two walked out of the villa and came to the front yard which was like a small garden.

The pattern of the grocery store items is the same as the blueprint, which is a real small building, like the newsstand that sold various things on the roadside in the past.

Once placed, the virtual image becomes real, just like a grocery store is created using 3D printing.

Boom!

With a dull sound, the grocery store appeared!

The circular building is about three or four meters high and is filled with various transparent square grids. A virtual screen is placed in a place similar to a front desk. This is the interface for purchasing things in the grocery store.

"Amazing! Is this also the technology from your world, Jack?"

"Not really! This is something that only appears in fantasy works like movies, TV shows, and games. We usually call it cyberpunk style."

It has to be a random store, and the styles of the first three must-buy items are completely different.

Complaining inwardly, Jack split the touch-screen holographic interface in front of him into two small windows, one for him and one for Keqing.

[Round Stone (64): 20][Andesite (64): 20][Copper Ingot (64): 100][Iron Ingot (64): 200]...[Wheat(64):200][Wheat seeds (64): 50][Apple (64): 100]...[Salt (500g): 10 World Coins][Soy sauce (600ml): 10 World Coins][Vegetable Oil (5L): 100 World Coins][Cloth (5㎡): 50 World Coins]...Sweet Flower (12): 100 World Coins[Jueyun Pepper (12): 200 World Coins][Teleport Anchor: 2000 World Coins][Eye of God: 10,000 World Coins]

There is a wide variety of goods.

And it is classified according to the differences of the three worlds.

Yes, 3 worlds.

The first one is the MC world, which contains most of the basic materials in the original MC version, but the ores are limited to iron ore. Redstone, lapis lazuli and diamond have not been discovered, so they are gray blocks and cannot be purchased.

Beyond that is the world corresponding to the module.

The simple Blue Star building module unlocks all kinds of supplies on the Blue Star in Jack's previous life, mostly daily necessities.

The Maid Contract module is currently connected to Keqing, so it only adds some content from the Genshin Impact world.

Overall, Jack was very satisfied with this grocery store.

Because it is really mixed, with all kinds of weird things.

"Okay, no need to look any further. We can't afford anything else. Let's go back and rest tonight."

"Wait a minute!"

Keqing naturally enlarged the holographic screen to the interface of cloth and sewing kit.

"Let's buy some of this cloth. It's been a week and you've only got this one piece of clothing. You'll catch a cold when winter comes. Don't underestimate me because I've been living a life of luxury. I'm actually quite good at making clothes."

Keqing rolled up her pajama sleeves and spoke confidently.

Jack was stunned, then he showed a helpless smile.

"Keqing! What do you want me to say to you?"

"What, what's wrong? Am I too wasteful? Or... let's just forget it."

"No!"

Jack lifted Keqing's hand, kissed her gently, and said, "If you continue to dote on me like this, I'm afraid I'll become a useless person who can't survive without Keqing."

"It's not as serious as you say. Jack, you've also been working hard to learn swordsmanship from me."

Keqing was embarrassed by his sudden affection.

"Well, Keqing is also very beautiful when she is shy. There is no need for later. I can't leave Keqing anymore!"

"ah!"

Keqing felt the perspective suddenly become higher, and a pair of strong hands picked her up.

"Let's go! Follow me and fight for another three hundred rounds!"

"No! It will break!"

Tonight is destined to be another sleepless night.

...

9 am the next day.

Jack woke up from the bed and instinctively reached for something beside him, but it was empty.

Rubbing his messy hair, Jack saw the neatly folded clothes on the bedside table and realized that Keqing had gotten up early again to do housework.

"I'm really becoming a useless person. No! I can't let this depravity continue!"

Get dressed quickly.

Jack walked down the stairs.

Keqing was sitting on the sofa, cutting a few pieces of dark blue cloth. Judging from their shapes, they should be Liyue-style shorts.

As for where Keqing got the money to buy the cloth, it was naturally because Jack gave her some last night. After all, world currency can be withdrawn as a physical object.

"Keqing."

The voice behind her made Keqing stop what she was doing, and her eyes fell on Jack.

"Good morning, Jack. Are you hungry?"

Keqing smiled, and the sunshine in the room became a little brighter.

Jack casually grabbed Keqing's purple hair and sniffed it, and a fragrance as light as that of orchid entered his nostrils.

"We have a saying in our place: 'Beauty is a feast to the eyes.' Seeing the beautiful and virtuous Keqing in the morning is more beneficial than any other delicacies."

"Hmph, smooth talk."

Having said that, Keqing still showed an expression of great satisfaction.

"Leave today's dishes to me, and leave the land reclamation to me. Keqing, you can rest well at home or go for a walk around the area."

Keqing was stunned for a moment. This was different from what they had agreed on yesterday.

But looking at Jack's gentle and determined eyes, she understood that her unilateral behavior seemed to have hurt the self-esteem of the little man in front of her.

"Puff! Okay, then I'd like to taste your cooking skills, Jack!"

"Don't worry, there's no Sichuan man who can't cook. Get ready to be fed to death by me!"

Jack ran to the kitchen in high spirits.

There was a happy smile on the corner of his mouth.

Hardworking, beautiful, generous, and considerate.

Keqing like this is a girl that belongs to him alone. Traveling to another world is really... awesome!
