As a major city renowned throughout the post-apocalyptic world, Bright City naturally has no shortage of places to obtain Crystal Cards.
The World Bank has several branches here.
The three of them walked for more than ten minutes before they came across a house.
The World Bank, a bank that has awakened to intelligence after being spiritualized, has named itself "Patriotism".
The currencies circulating in the apocalypse—crystal beans and crystal coins—were produced by him.
They also invented crystal cards.
It can be said that patriotism is the "man" who controls the entire economic lifeline of the end times.
It is precisely because of its existence that a complete and effective economic system can be established in the apocalypse.
Only an alliance of powerful, aristocratic families with a high-and-mighty capitalist style can prevent them from dominating the world in the apocalypse, giving ordinary people a glimmer of hope.
Stepping inside, Xin Sui felt like returning to the modern world.
The layout and facilities inside are no different from modern ones.
She handed Shui Duoduo a money pouch containing exactly 20 crystal coins.
"You should know how to handle a card, right?"
Shui Duoduo showed no shame about being a "kept man" and accepted the money bag quite naturally.
"Yes, I know, Sister Lily."
Xin Sui entered a small cubicle. It was a money-taking and depositing machine from before the apocalypse. After becoming spiritualized, it could still take out and deposit "money," and it also had the function of issuing cards.
The touchscreen displays various services and also includes voice functionality.
"Welcome, beautiful lady. Aiguo is at your service. How may I help you?"
A deep, magnetic, bubbly sound rang in my ears.
Xin Sui: "..."
That voice is so soothing; she couldn't help but rub her ears.
"Uh, I'd like to apply for a card."
"Okay, please tell me your name."
Under Aiguo's step-by-step guidance, Xin Sui received a brand new crystal card two minutes later.
It's a bit bigger than an ID card.
The front side records all her information—
Name: Li Xueli
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Birth: May 25th, 259th year of the apocalypse
Birthplace: Tomato Continent North District, Mango Desert, Thorn City
Card Number: GM
There's also her photo in the upper right corner.
The back of the crystal card resembles a mobile phone screen, allowing users to send messages and make voice calls after unlocking with a fingerprint.
Xin Sui stroked the card, feeling a sense of wonder.
"Beautiful lady, is there anything else you need?"
Xin Sui looked at the photo on the front and a thought suddenly struck her.
"Can I get another card?"
"Each person can only have one crystal card, but it's not impossible if you're willing to pay extra."
Xin Sui: "..."
This patriotic gentleman really knows how to maintain his money-making persona.
How much more do you need?
"The price of the second card is 1,000 times that of the first card."
"Crystal coins?!"
Xin Sui exclaimed in surprise.
That's way too expensive!
Although she hasn't had to worry about money since she transmigrated, that's all thanks to Xuan Tu giving her a large sum of "pig-raising fees".
However, she still felt the pinch when asked to spend crystal coins to get a fake account.
She preferred cultivating with crystal coins to taking drugs.
After all, every medicine has some side effects, and taking too much medicine will always leave some hidden dangers.
So these past few days, all she's used for cultivation has been crystal coins, and piles and piles of crystal coins have turned into dust.
The remaining crystal coins are estimated to be just over ten thousand.
If she uses the money to open a credit card account, she won't have much money left.
Suddenly, I felt an urgent need to make money.
"Can you give me a discount?" Xin Sui asked in a consultative tone.
"Since this is your first time, I'll give you a 1% discount."
The black line of the Xin year.
What's with this "bank smart" feature? What do you mean "this is my first time"? Could you please finish your sentence?
It's like I'm doing you some kind of shady deal.
Emerging from the small cubicle, Xin Sui found the crystal coin box in his spatial ring empty, with only a few crystal coins remaining.
In return, they received two thin crystal cards.
One photo belongs to "Li Xueli", and the other belongs to Xin Sui.
With his "ID card," Xin Sui suddenly felt a sense of belonging to the world.
Shui Duoduo and Shui Qingqing had already gotten their cards and were waiting for her in the lobby.
"Come on, let's add each other's contact information so we can stay in touch."
Xin Sui handed over the "Li Xueli" card and stuck it on with the siblings.
Just stick it on, and the contact number is added—it's very convenient.
If it is not possible to add a contact number in person, you can also verify the addition of a person by entering their card number.
"Want to go shopping together?"
After leaving the bank, Xin Sui asked.
Of course, she was just browsing; she didn't have any money to splurge right now.
The main purpose was to see if any business opportunities could be found.
Shui Qingqing carefully put away the crystal card and replied cheerfully, "Okay."
The minority obeys the majority, and Shui Duoduo had no chance to object. She lifted her foot and followed the two women who had already walked out.
The street was bustling and lively, with many shops and stalls on both sides.
Weapon shops, pharmacies, nutritional supplement shops, superpowered individuals' guilds...
The stalls mostly sell all sorts of oddly shaped ingredients.
"Hey beautiful, how about a green hat mushroom? It looks great and tastes amazing. If you bring it to the food festival competition, it's sure to get you an advancement card."
"Miss, this geoduck was just caught from the sea, and it's full of roe. It'll definitely get you to the second floor of the Drum Tower!"
"Take a look! These sweet and juicy eyeball fruits are 20 crystal beans per pound!"
...
It's probably because the food festival competition is coming soon, and hunters or mercenaries from all over have come here, hoping to ride the wave of popularity and sell their "food".
