Chapter 270

At present, the total circulation of Ping An coins is less than 1 million, with 200,000 in Lanhu Town, 100,000 in Linhai Town, and the rest are basically in Huangcheng Home and Jufeng Mountain.

The total population of these four places is about 70,000 to 80,000.

This currency worth 1 million points will not cause much waves when thrown into the market. Even if the amount of currency is issued several times more, it will not cause much impact.

In fact, only when there are more Ping An coins circulating in the market, those who hoard them because of their own value will use them as currency.

"The Ping An Coins we issue are different from paper money. They have a very high value in themselves, and as long as the system is functioning properly, you can continue to exchange Ping An Coins for goods from us, so the probability of causing inflation is much lower."

Listening to Zhou Qi's further explanation, Tang Yu'an nodded.

"Well, I've made a lot of peace coins over the past month, and they'll come in handy!"

As the blue beard forest formed in the deserted city home, a large number of blue beard leaves fell naturally every day in October alone. They were collected by Tang Yu's security department and taken to the other dimension to be made into peace coins by domestic robots.

In addition to the leaves previously exchanged from Lan Yunqing, the stock has been used up, and the total value of the Ping An coins produced is 1.53 million points.

As soon as Zhou Qi said this, Tang Yu'an took out the two big boxes.

I saw Ping An coins with denominations ranging from one yuan to one hundred yuan, all neatly stacked in the box, which looked particularly spectacular.

“…”

Zhou Qi was silent for a moment, then asked, "How did you make so many?"

Tang Yu'an chuckled, "These are all money!"

When he was a child, he often dreamed of becoming a millionaire by picking up money on the street, and now, he can print his own money!

So why not print more? Even if you don't spend it, you can still enjoy it by just looking at it at home.

Seeing the young man's happy and money-loving look, Zhou Qi couldn't help but laugh. He reached out and pinched Tang Yu'an's nose, "Little clever ghost."

When he tried to withdraw his hand, Tang Yu'an grabbed it. He held Zhou Qi's hand in front of him, playing with it while talking to him.

The boy's mouth opened and closed, but Zhou Qi couldn't hear a word he said.

All his senses were attracted by Tang Yu'an's hands.

He could clearly feel the boy's soft fingertips sliding along the veins on the back of his hand, gently caressing the calluses on his palm, and pinching his fingers, caressing and kneading them one by one...

Zhou Qi took a deep breath and tried to pull his hand back calmly, pretending to want to take the peace coins from the box.

However, Tang Yu'an did not let him go.

He suddenly grabbed his wrist, then pulled his hand over, put his nose on the back of his hand and sniffed deeply.

Then, with sparkling eyes, she said to him, "Brother Xiaoqi, are you wearing perfume? You smell so good!"

After saying that, he lowered his head and sniffed again.

Zhou Qi: “…”

I'm really going crazy.

"Brother Xiaoqi?"

“No, no…”

Zhou Qi paused for a moment before coughing lightly and changing the subject: "Let's continue talking about the situation at Yanlong Fort."

"Uh-huh!"

Tang Yu'an glanced at the location of the RV on the map and said, "The RV is still one-third of the distance away from Lao Mo."

Because the second half of the journey was severely desertified, there were fewer roadblocks, so we cleared the road faster.

And since about half a month ago, Tang Yu'an has not stopped paving the cement road.

After all, once the road is clear, it will inevitably lead to exchanges between the people of the two places. No one knows what the situation is in Yanlong Fort, so for the sake of safety, it is better to maintain the status quo for the time being.

Whether to build a road between Yanlong Fort and Linhai Town can be arranged after Linhai Town is completely covered by the protective barrier.

"The fire dragon at Yanlong Fort has disappeared." Tang Yu'an said, "According to Gan Lin, it has been dormant for at least one or two months."

The fire stones on the surface around them have been picked up, so they need to be mined from underground.

"I traded a batch of protective clothing and tools to them."

Protective clothing is made of room temperature cloth and can protect miners from burns and scalds during the mining process.

"Kang Kang cultivated two more breadfruit trees, plus the three seeds I bought from the Planar Store. I traded them all to Gan Lin and the others."

One breadfruit costs 1,000 points, which is just a small expense for Tang Yu'an, who became rich in January.

If it weren't for the drought over there, planting too many breadfruit trees would consume a lot of water, and he might have traded more breadfruit trees over there.

Currently, the six breadfruit trees have reached their limit.

However, after the fire dragon enters its dormant period, the evaporation of water decreases, people are less likely to be thirsty, and the demand for water is not as great.

"Has the number of believers recruited by Lao Mo decreased?" Zhou Qi asked.

Tang Yu'an shook his head. "Not only has it not decreased, it has increased a lot. It's almost five thousand now."

After a while, it is estimated that the population will be larger than the combined population of the Deserted City Home and Jufeng Mountain.

"Lao Mo and Gan Lin basically don't go out now, especially Lao Mo."

Having so many followers must be very stressful, right? Perhaps because of this, Lao Mo's leveling speed has also slowed down.

During this month, Tours sent back another batch of weapons and equipment, and Tang Yu'an gave two sets to Lao Mo and Gan Lin.

Zhou Qi listened to Tang Yu'an's story and frowned in thought.

"What about Zitian Castle? How's the situation over there?"

Before Zhou Qi left, Tang Yu'an established a branch in Zitian Fort and recruited the fishing team captain Zhan Xiong as an employee.

And his son Zhan Xiaotian also successfully survived with Tang Yu'an's treatment.

After so many days, his level has long exceeded lv5 and he can communicate with other employees on the forum.

However, he is not active in the forum, only popping up occasionally and spending most of the time lurking.

The forum feature he uses most often is the trading area.

Because Haijing sold salt at a low price in the trading area, Zhan Xiong did not choose to sell salt anymore, but directly sold sea water.

He had no choice. After all, there was no place in Zitian Castle for him to dry salt, and he could not defeat the whale.

As for other products, he couldn't take them out either.

Selling sea water was a sudden idea that came to him, because the trading zone was selling all kinds of things, so he decided to try his luck, and to his surprise, he actually sold it!

What surprised Tang Yu'an the most was that the person who bought the most seawater was not Lao Mo, but Wen Qingqing from Bingyan Castle.

"I asked her mother in my dream." Tang Yu'an said, "Sister Wen bought sea water mainly to splash on the road. It can prevent the road from freezing and can also deal with ice and snow creatures."

Yes, Ice Flame Castle has now found a way to deal with mutated ice and snow creatures—

That is to splash sea water on those mutant creatures!

At first they just wanted to remove the ice on the road outside the fortress, but they accidentally splashed it on the ice and snow creatures, and they all ran away as if they were scalded.

The first soldier to discover it immediately realized that sea water might be the weakness of these ice and snow mutant creatures.

So, this was originally just a gift when Wen Qingqing sold fire stones and charcoal, but unexpectedly it later became the main commodity sought after by the army.

And most importantly, after experiments, they discovered that the Ice Flame Flower also doesn’t like sea water!

After being contaminated by sea water, they will not die, but the flowers will shrink and will not reopen for at least three or four days.

As we all know, the Ice Flame Flower is the culprit that caused the Ice Flame Castle to suffer an extreme cold disaster.

Although it can only delay the blooming of the Ice Flame Flower for a few days, it can effectively reduce the amount of snowfall in the Ice Flame Castle.

So Wen Qingqing's salary was basically used to buy fire stones and sea water.

"After receiving employee training from Lao Mo and Lao Ping, Uncle Zhan Xiong now has a deep understanding of the teachings and purpose of the Shangshen Sect!"

Tang Yu'an said, "He has now developed all the members of the fishing team into customers, but I'm not sure about the details."

Zhou Qi was not there, and he had given him special instructions before leaving, so he did not take the risk of going to Zitian Castle alone.

"Let's find some time to go and take a look." Zhou Qi said.

"good."

Tang Yu'an nodded and continued, "Brother Xiaoqi, should we assign Sister Wen the branch manager task?"

Now as long as the employee level reaches lv20, you can establish a branch, and when it reaches lv21, you can open the protective barrier.

Although it is quite difficult to open the teleportation array at level 25, even if you only open the protective barrier, it is very useful, especially in a place like Ice Flame Castle that is attacked by cold disasters almost all year round.

After all, within the protective barrier, the temperature can be kept above zero degrees, and the living environment will be greatly improved.

"What level is she now?" Zhou Qi asked.

"Level 16."

Although it is already very good compared to Brother Chi Hao, Sister Wen is in the fortress after all, so this level is still relatively low.

"Perhaps the rewards for later levels aren't as attractive, so after reaching level 5, employees are primarily focused on earning points and aren't too concerned with gaining experience points."

Tang Yu'an said: "If the branch manager task is issued, I believe Sister Wen will pay more attention to the experience points and build the branch as soon as possible."

Ice Flame Castle was too far away from them. According to the speed of going to Flame Dragon Castle, even if they set out now, it would take them a year to arrive.

The dream bottles in this dimension will break into pieces when the wisher wakes up after the transaction is completed, and they have no way to escape through the dream bottle.

Therefore, the Ice Flame Castle branch can only rely on Sister Wen herself.

Zhou Qi nodded and said, "Okay, but before that, transfer her to store number 6."

Wen Qingqing has always been in the main store and has not been "influenced" by Lao Mo. In addition, she grew up in the fortress and is obviously smarter than other employees.

She hangs out on message boards and forums, mostly buying and selling things, and rarely participates in other topics.

Zhou Qi was also unsure of her loyalty to the "mysterious businessman".

Since we have decided to disguise ourselves as a church, we should carry out the church training to the end. At least there should be no problems with the management.

"Oh, okay."

Tang Yu'an almost forgot about this problem. He quickly transferred Wen Qingqing to Store No. 6, and then began to tailor the branch manager task for her with Zhou Qi.

After sending out the mission, they put on masks and cloaks, and then came to Zi Tian Grocery Store through the teleportation array.

They planned to conduct an on-site inspection and then think about the development strategy of Zitian Fort.

As soon as I arrived in the basement, I heard noisy voices coming from above.

Although Tang Yu'an retracted the protective barrier into the basement, people who harbored ill intentions towards Zhan Xiong and his son could not enter the grocery store because of the "Evil Guests Keep Away" halo.

Therefore, even if Zhan Xiong took out a huge amount of food that should not have existed in Zitian Fort, his safety should be guaranteed.

Seeing that Zhan Xiong and Zhan Xiaotian were not in the room, Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi came out of the basement.

As a result, when they arrived at the door and heard the sounds outside clearly, they couldn't help but show strange expressions on their faces.

"Silence, silence! Morning service is about to begin! Everyone, be quiet!"

Zhan Xiong's deep voice came in, and at the same time, the noisy voices of people whispering to each other quieted down.

Morning class? What is that?

For some unknown reason, Tang Yu'an suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and then he heard Zhan Xiong's voice again.

"Praise the God of Commerce!"

As his voice fell, hundreds of other voices followed suit, shouting, "Praise the God of Commerce!"

"Great God of Commerce, thank you for giving us food so that we can be free from hunger and pain..."

"From this day forward, I will faithfully carry out your will... I will respect the elderly and cherish the young, be hygienic, and be polite..."

"I will love my children, never abandon them, and never abuse them... I will be hardworking and brave, and use my hands to create..."

Tang Yuan: 0.0

It's only been a little over a month! Why does it feel like there's already a new branch church in Zitian Fort? Isn't it said that preaching is forbidden in the fortress?

Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi looked at each other, and hurriedly went outside under the cover of the umbrella to watch.

Zhan Xiong was seen standing at the front of the team, and the streets were already densely packed with people kneeling. They were all chanting devoutly with Zhan Xiong, and the scene looked quite shocking.

However……

Tang Yu'an wanted to escape, especially since he knew clearly that the Shangshen Sect was just a fabrication they made up.

But Zhou Qi held his hand.

“You need to adapt in advance.”

"W-what?"

"There are still thousands of people on Lao Mo's side."
