Chapter 111 Top-Grade Ruby
"Your Majesty, simply place this gem into this tray, and it will automatically convert it into dimensional currency for you."
Upon hearing this, Atlas nodded and then placed the ruby in his hand into the tray in front of him.
The next second, he saw the ruby shrink rapidly, and a line of text appeared on the screen of the exchange device.
One top-grade ruby can be exchanged for 5000 interdimensional coins.
The instant these words appeared, a card popped up from the bottom of the screen. Atlas reached out and gently pulled out the card, looking at the silver-white card in his hand, which felt very high-quality.
One side of the card read "Dimensional Shop" in large characters, while the other side displayed a string of numbers—the very 5,000 Dimensional Coins he had just redeemed. In the lower right corner of the card was his name, Atlas!
"This is a special gift card for our store. After you redeem items, all the interdimensional currency you receive will be automatically deposited into this card."
Of course, this card can only be used by you; no one else can use it. Even if someone tries to buy something with your dimensional card, it won't work. Only the cardholder can use it, or you will be punished.
Also, Your Majesty, when you buy things, simply touch your dimensional card to the machine on the shelf. The amount you take will be automatically deducted from your card's balance! If your card balance is insufficient, you won't be able to touch the items on the shelf.”
Gu Xinyan smiled and explained from the side that she was almost mesmerized when she saw the ruby; it was just so beautiful.
Not only is it perfectly round, but it's also huge, and the luster on the entire gemstone is incredibly clear. If this were in China, it would probably be up for auction.
And seeing Atlas casually pull it out of his pocket, it seems this thing is quite common in their kingdom. It looks like they've come to another great place!
Upon hearing this, Atlas finally understood. So that's how the card was used. He had actually guessed it earlier, and this confirmed it.
After playing with it for a while, he headed towards the shelf area. He had seen some strange candy in the snack section earlier, something called soft candy.
He planned to buy some to take back to his youngest daughter, Lina, who would surely love it, since he had been preoccupied with the kingdom's affairs and hadn't been in the mood for much of the time.
Even when he was with his wife and children, he was still somewhat absent-minded, but the arrival of the messengers today put his mind at ease, and he could finally go back and spend some quality time with his children.
He was very happy with the dimensional currency he exchanged for the ruby. He never expected that something so abundant in their kingdom could be exchanged for so much dimensional currency.
He can buy quite a lot of things now. That small bag of gummies only cost 300 interdimensional coins, and he has 5,000 in his card, so he can buy some to take back with him.
Furthermore, he decided that when he returned later, he would have someone go to the warehouse and bring several large boxes to the envoy to exchange for a batch of medicines, which were in short supply in their kingdom.
He had just seen among those medicines that there were anti-inflammatory drugs, cold medicine, headache medicine... and he believed the messenger; the things the messenger sold here were definitely better than what they were currently using.
Thinking this, Atlas quickened his pace, and the group behind him followed suit.
They had just seen their king exchange a ruby for a card and then leave excitedly. Now they were very curious and wanted to know how their king would buy things next.
They then came to a shelf and stopped, where they saw their king.
Holding the strange card, I lightly touched it on the machine next to the shelf and then took several colorful bags off the shelf.
This scene piqued the curiosity of several officials, some of whom couldn't resist reaching out to touch the items on the shelf. However, the next second, their hands were blocked by a transparent protective shield.
The incident happened so suddenly that the others didn't react for a moment.
Upon seeing the suddenly appearing transparent protective shield, the mouths of the group members gaped open in astonishment. This... this really is a protective shield!
They were initially a little doubtful, but they never expected to actually see it. After exchanging glances, they pushed and shoved each other, rushing towards the exchange device.
The priest, who was a step behind, looked at the noisy group and suddenly felt a headache, mixed with a little bit of embarrassment.
However, he didn't stop them. Instead, he followed behind Atlas and, seeing him picking out things, pointed to a bag of spicy and sour chicken feet on the shelf and said:
"Atlas, I want to eat this, could you buy it for me while you're at it?"
Atlas, who was intently selecting snacks: "………………"
Seeing that the speaker was a priest, Atlas swallowed back the words that were about to slip out. He glanced at the bag of spicy and sour chicken feet, which cost 500 dimensional coins.
He did some mental calculations. He had just taken a few bags of snacks and had 1,000 dimensional coins left. He could buy a bag for the priest, and with 500 dimensional coins left, he could buy two more bags of these things called potato chips.
After thinking it over, Atlas reached out and took the spicy and sour chicken feet that the priest had asked for, then handed them to the person next to him.
Upon seeing this, the priest quickly took it. His most valuable possession was his staff, but it was not easy to make, so he did not intend to use it to exchange for anything.
Since Atlas already redeemed it, I might as well take a share.
After getting his hands on the spicy and sour chicken feet that he was interested in, he carefully turned them over and over, and then tore a small hole in the bag according to the instructions.
Only after tearing it open did they discover that the large bag contained more than a dozen smaller bags. Looking at these smaller bags, the priest took one out and tore it open.
In an instant, a tangy and spicy aroma wafted into his nostrils. It was peculiar and unlike any food he had ever eaten before.
They usually eat a light diet, though there are a few strong-flavored dishes, but not many. And there are none like the claw in front of them.
Curious, he leaned closer to smell it. The sour smell mixed with a hint of spiciness made him feel a little tipsy.
