Chapter 490 Base Currency System 1

After inspecting the airship, Chen Yu went to the resettlement site for the villagers of Wenshui Village.

These villagers of Wenshui Village had done him a great favor in his previous life, but he chose to stand idly by when they encountered great calamity. Therefore, he still felt a deep sense of guilt.

Now he has changed the course of his previous life and saved these villagers.

They were then assigned to the Tianyu Base, so naturally, we had to take care of their lives.

"Old Xu, are you getting used to living here?" Chen Yu asked Xu Anbang, the village chief of Wenshui Village, with a smile.

“It’s a habit, Mr. Chen. Our Tianyu Base is like paradise. Being able to come here is the greatest blessing of our lives!” Xu Anbang said with gratitude, his eyes sparkling with love for life and anticipation for the future.

His wife, Wang Hui, and daughter, Xu Qing, nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with gratitude as they looked at Chen Yu.

Thinking back to a little over a month ago.

When their Wenshui Village suffered a great calamity, it was Chen Yu who stepped forward and led his militia to wipe out the invaders from the Fire Seed Base.

To avoid retaliation from the Fire Seed Base, they had no choice but to leave their hometown and relocate the entire village to the Fire Seed Base, on Chen Yu's advice.

To be honest, they would never have relocated if it weren't for the threat from the Fireseed Base.

After all, their Wenshui Village is located by a hot spring, which not only provides a small amount of heating, but also grows a certain amount of potatoes and mushrooms, which can basically make the villagers self-sufficient.

In this extremely cold and apocalyptic world, it can be considered a paradise on earth.

When they left, some villagers were worried that they would go hungry after arriving at the Tianyu base, so they brought several sacks of mushrooms and potatoes with them.

However, once they arrived at the Tianyu base, they realized they were completely wrong.

First of all, the scale and modern facilities of Tianyu Base impressed them.

This isn't a post-apocalyptic survivor base; it's practically a modern city!

Although they had seen the promotional video of Tianyu Base on Lin Lele's tablet before, what they saw in the video and what they saw in person were completely different, and the shock they received was incomparable.

Tianyu Base also arranged temporary accommodation for them.

Although it was temporary, each room was equipped with heating.

The indoor temperature can reach below -5 degrees Celsius, which is very comfortable.

Furthermore, the Tianyu Base also distributes one Tianyu Coin to its members every day, in accordance with the standards for base members.

There's a lot to say about the Tianyu coin.

Tianyu Coin, as the name suggests, is a type of currency.

One Tianyu Coin can be used to purchase one kilogram of rice or one kilogram of flour at the base store.

1 jin of chicken, duck, fish and meat = 5 Tianyu coins, 1 jin of pork = 6 Tianyu coins, 1 jin of beef and mutton = 15 Tianyu coins, 1 jin of vegetables and fruits = 30 Tianyu coins.

In other words, the base's inhabitants don't have to do anything each day; they can use the Tianyu coins distributed by the base to buy 1 jin of rice and flour, which is enough to guarantee their basic food needs.

Compared to Tianyu Base, their village's life is worse than that of a dog.

This is not an exaggeration; it is what they saw with their own eyes.

Many residents of Tianyu Base still keep pets at home during this apocalyptic time, including cats, dogs, and all sorts of other animals.

Each of them had a glistening, oily face and shiny fur, clearly indicating that they were well-nourished and extremely well cared for.

They had also heard of something even more outrageous.

A foreigner named Niu Keke has six pet dogs, eight cats, and a parrot at home, making it almost like a small zoo.

What are these conditions?

In this extremely cold and apocalyptic world, countless people starve and freeze to death every day. In many places, people have nothing to eat, let alone keep pets.

Under normal circumstances, in order to survive, using pets as food is a cruel choice that many people in the apocalypse might have to make.

Keeping pets in the apocalypse? Are you crazy?

The most outrageous thing is that I heard that foreigner named Niu Keke's pets eat meat and fish every meal, which is an extreme luxury in the extremely cold post-apocalyptic world where resources are extremely scarce.

When the villagers looked at the mushrooms and potatoes they had brought, they suddenly lost their appetite.

They originally wanted to just throw it away, but then felt it was a waste.

Some enthusiastic villagers decided to process it and use it to feed the pets at the base.

However, these mushrooms and potatoes, which they once treasured, were disliked by the small animals in the base, and no one ate them.

Even the dog couldn't help but shake its head when it smelled it.

Those mushrooms and potatoes had a strong sulfur smell, it was so overpowering.

In the end, all the mushrooms and potatoes they had painstakingly brought along the way had to be thrown away.

However, the free daily benefits for the base's residents are just enough to fill their stomachs. If they want to eat better, buy other daily necessities, or support their pets, they will need more Tianyu Coins.

If you want more Tianyu Coins, you can only participate in the work at the base.

At Tianyu Base, various industries are thriving, and there are a wide variety of jobs available, ranging from agricultural planting to industrial production, from scientific research to cultural entertainment.

If you work diligently for 8 hours a day, and deduct the time for meals and a few breaks in between, you'll only work a maximum of 6 hours a day. You'll also have more than 8 days off a month. With a monthly salary of around 300 Tianyu coins, you can basically achieve freedom in eating meat.

Here, apart from scientists, incomes across all industries are relatively even, and there is no situation where one industry makes exorbitant profits while others suffer losses.

Scientists often receive higher compensation due to their expertise and knowledge, which is one way that Tianyu Base encourages knowledge innovation and technological progress.

On average, scientists earn about five times more than ordinary workers, which is 1,500 Tianyu coins. If they want to be a little extravagant, they can eat stir-fried vegetables and meat every day. How wonderful!

Even with such a high salary, it did not cause dissatisfaction or jealousy within the Tianyu base.

Because everyone here understands that the scientists' efforts and contributions are irreplaceable.

They not only provided advanced technological support to the base, but also continuously improved the quality of life for the base's residents through their research.

Of course, ordinary people are not without the opportunity to "get rich".

Tianyu Base encourages innovation, and everyone can contribute their own strength to scientific research. As long as you boldly put forward your ideas and concepts, you can obtain funding support and resource allocation after evaluation and recognition by the base, and become a grassroots scientist of the base. You may even be absorbed into the base's scientific research institute and enjoy the same treatment and respect as formal scientists.

Of course, if you don't have real talent or skills, but just have a good idea on a whim, you can still get a considerable bonus if it is adopted by the scientists at the base.

Prices range from 100 Tianyu Coins to Tianyu Coins.
