"I see. So, Base Chief Yan Shaoqing, you need our Whale State's magic generator and some other alchemical tools."
The location was still the garden outside the castle.
The only difference is that the small white round table used for tea has been replaced by a square negotiation table.
Ding Caidie, currently the director of the Jingzhou Commerce Bureau, is discussing with Yan Shaoqing the acquisition of the items he needs.
Meanwhile, Ouyang Qianjin and Ying Wuyang sat on a bench not far away, enjoying the sunbathing provided by the sunstone.
They watched the two negotiating as if it were a spectacle.
As the ruler of Whale State and the main figures in this visit, the two seemed to have no intention of interfering in this acquisition.
It's more like a strong, onlooker-like bystander.
After all, one is a master of slacking off, and the other is indifferent to the matter.
Their attitude is quite normal.
"Yes, based on the size of my base and the number of people, it will probably require..."
"That's not the point, Commander Yan."
Ding Caidie interrupted Yan Shaoqing.
"Well……"
Yan Shaoqing, who was interrupted, stared blankly at Ding Caidie.
Isn't that the point?
As the purchaser, isn't it only natural for me to tell the other party the exact quantity needed?
After all, even when you go to the market to buy vegetables, you have to tell them how many kilograms you need so that they can sell you the goods according to your requirements, right?
However, this mature woman told me that this wasn't the point.
"So, Ms. Ding, what is the key point?"
Yan Shaoqing asked through gritted teeth.
There's nothing we can do; it's a seller's market now.
For the sake of the magic generator, Yan Shaoqing had no choice but to suppress his frustration.
"Oh, little brother, what else could it be but this?"
Ding Caidie rubbed her thumb and forefinger together and smiled as she looked at Yan Shaoqing.
Small……
Upon hearing the name Ding Caidie, Yan Shaoqing almost choked on his breath.
These guys from Whale State are really something else.
"I will use the materials I have to pay for this. Please give me a specific amount, and I will have someone deliver it to Nangang as soon as I get back."
Since we're talking about supplies, that makes things easier.
For Yan Shaoqing, anything that can be solved with supplies is not a problem.
"No, no..."
Ding Caidie quickly waved her hand, denying the other party's statement.
Sigh! Is it wrong again?
Yan Shaoqing stared blankly at Ding Caidie, then saw her magically produce several unfamiliar banknotes from her hand.
"That's what I wanted to say."
Ding Caidie laid out the banknotes one by one on the table.
"Paper money?"
Yan Shaoqing bent down and carefully examined each banknote.
There are six banknotes in total.
The front of the 1-yuan green banknote features an Abyss Weaver.
The front of the 5-yuan black banknote features a golem holding a sword and shield.
The front of the 10-yuan dark green banknote features several skeleton soldiers holding different weapons.
The front of the 20-yuan dark blue banknote features a profile portrait of the wolf king of the Blue Wolf Tribe.
The purple 50-yuan banknote features a blue gargoyle on the front.
The front of the 100-yuan black and purple banknote features a full-body portrait of Ouyang Qianjin sitting in a wheelchair and holding a book.
After all, dark purple is the color that Miss Ouyang likes the most.
On the back of these banknotes, in the center, are printed black crowned skulls with bizarre hand gestures.
Use minerals, crystals, wheat ears, or energy gems and potions to decorate the borders.
The colors and designs of these banknotes were chosen by Ouyang Qianjin after the guys from the Financial Bureau had discussed it.
In addition to these, there are also buildings such as amusement parks and castles.
But all of them were rejected by Ouyang Qianjin.
In Ouyang Qianjin's words, all tangible things will eventually be destroyed, so let's not come here with these buildings.
It is evident how much psychological trauma the destruction of Black Cat Paradise caused to Ouyang Qianjin.
Although golems and gargoyles also fall into this category, they are things that Ouyang Qianjin can create, so these two were chosen because they would help Ouyang Qianjin's combat power in the early stages.
As for why the Wolf King of the Blue Wolf Clan and Zhang Yuan's Abyss Weaver were chosen, it was entirely to 'commemorate' their achievements.
The Blue Wolf Clan was Ouyang Qianjin's starting point, providing her with a wealth of experience and levels, as well as furs for alchemy, making them invaluable.
And the Abyss Weaver's achievement... is naturally producing spider silk.
It's important to know that the spider silk of the Abyss Weavers plays an irreplaceable role in Whale State.
It played an indispensable role, especially in Ouyang Qianjin's alchemy.
In fact, even these banknotes all have a small amount of Abyss Weaver's spider silk on them.
"This currency is the 'Eternal Night Coin' produced by our Whale State Magic Technology Manufacturing Hall."
"It is not only well-made and has the advantages of being fire-resistant, corrosion-resistant, freeze-resistant, and tear-resistant, but it also has a purifying function and will never get dirty."
“Currently, Whale State only accepts this type of paper currency. If you wish to purchase goods from Whale State, you can exchange them for these paper currencies using supplies and materials, and then use the paper currencies to purchase goods from Whale State.”
At this moment, Ding Caidie was smiling very, very brightly.
But in Yan Shaoqing's eyes, Ding Caidie's smile was no less cunning than Ouyang Qianjin's.
It could be even more terrifying.
Of course.
The scary thing was certainly not Ding Caidie's smile.
Rather, it's what Ding Caidie's smile represents.
Issuing currency represents the right to mint coins.
Even the power to set prices is entirely in the hands of Jingzhou, or rather, Ouyang Qianjin.
This right is practically heaven-defying.
Especially in such a chaotic world.
Once this 'Eternal Night Coin' is recognized and spread by everyone, no one will be able to stop Ouyang Qianjin's expansion of power.
The key point is that the production quality of this Eternal Night Coin is truly exceptional.
If it functions exactly as Ding Caidie described, I believe many people would accept this currency.
After all, people are tired of bartering these days.
It would be much more convenient if excellent banknotes were available.
In fact, in the Jiangnan region, the Central Plains region, and the Guangdong and Guangxi regions, there are quite a few bases that issue their own points coupons to facilitate shopping or buying and selling, at least in the places that I can access.
Most importantly, this was issued by Ouyang Qianjin, the top influencer on the list, so its credibility is unquestionable.
It can be said that once it spreads, it will quickly overwhelm the financial systems of other bases.
"To be honest, I would be happy to exchange it, but it's paper money after all, so it's easy to counterfeit it."
Yan Shaoqing had no choice but to comply, even if he was unwilling.
As I said before, it's a seller's market now.
If you want the magic generator and other alchemical tools, you'll have to listen to others.
"Please rest assured about this. We at Jingzhou naturally have our own methods for preventing counterfeiting."
