Chapter 49 Discovering Gold
"Yes, this is the dimensional card. The dimensional currency you just exchanged is on the back of the card. To buy anything, just swipe it on the machine on the side of the shelf."
The amount of items you take will be automatically deducted from your card's dimensional currency. If your card runs out of dimensional currency, you'll be unable to access the items on the shelves, just like before.
More importantly, the card can only be used by the person whose name is on it. If anyone else uses the card, it will trigger the store's penalty rules.
"It would be bad if you got an electric shock, so please don't pick up the wrong card when you use it!" Gu Xinyan explained.
Upon hearing this, Chief Ke nodded knowingly, then, recalling the incident during the exchange, he inquired further:
"Oh, I see. By the way, sir, what was that primary energy stone just now? How could it be so valuable? It's even more valuable than animal hide!"
"You mean that? You probably don't need that basic energy stone, but we desperately need it. Why don't you ask who put that stone there? If you can find more energy stones, you can exchange them for more things! Then you won't have to fear the cold season this year!"
When he asked about the primary energy stone, Gu Xinyan gave him a brief explanation. After all, to them, it was probably just a stone. If they were lucky enough to find more, they wouldn't have to worry about not having enough to eat or wear during the cold season this year.
Upon hearing this, Chief Ke's eyes lit up. "Yes! This stone was probably accidentally put in by one of the cubs."
The cubs couldn't have run far, which means the stone was probably found near their tribe.
Thinking about it this way, he became even more excited. He hurriedly looked at Kolo and Stone beside him and gave them some instructions.
"Gather everyone in the tribe, including the children, and find out who put that stone there."
If we can find them, then take people to find more. If no one recognizes them, then take people to look around the area, and bring back any that look similar!
"Yes, Chieftain! (Father)"
The two responded in unison, and then called for the tribespeople who had been watching the commotion inside the shop to leave. After the crowd left, only Chief Ke and a tall man named Mu Zi remained in the shop.
Oh! No, wait, there's also Ke Yan who walked to the door and then turned back!
Seeing his hesitant and awkward manner, Chief Ke was exasperated and roared:
"Hey kid, what are you fidgeting about! Didn't I tell you to go find that energy stone? What are you still standing there for!"
Ke Yan, who was yelled at, was not angry. He walked forward with a grin and said, "Clan leader, I just wanted to test how much my stone is worth. I'll leave after I'm done testing."
After Ke Yan finished speaking, he took out the animal skin bag that he had been holding in his arms.
Chief Ke and his companion: "........."
Goodness, this kid still cares about his few broken stones! I wonder how long they've been there, and he still hasn't thrown them away?
Forget it, forget it. If he wants to try, then let him try. Otherwise, he'll keep nagging about it like he's possessed!
They didn't find the stone particularly attractive! They didn't know why it fascinated him so much.
"Alright, go ahead and give it a try! After you're done, hurry up and go find the energy stones. And don't treasure these few stones of yours anymore," Chief Ke said helplessly.
"Okay, okay! I promise this is the last time. If it doesn't sell this time, I won't nag anymore. I'll just keep it at home as a table mat, hehe!"
When Ke Yan saw that his clan leader had let him try, he jumped up and down happily, then grabbed the animal skin bag and ran to the exchange device.
Gu Xinyan and the other two, who were watching this scene from the side, all curiously stepped forward. What kind of precious stone was being exchanged? Was it another energy stone?
The moment the group approached, they saw several flashes of golden light, and after a few loud 'bangs' on the exchange device's tray, the several golden stones instantly shrank.
Gu Xinyan and the other two: "........."
If they weren't mistaken, these bright yellow stones looked remarkably like yellow...
Before they could finish guessing, a line of text appeared on the screen above the exchange device.
500 grams of gold, containing impurities and slightly insufficient purity, can be exchanged for 10,000 interdimensional coins.
Gu Xinyan and the other two exchanged bewildered glances, all seeing shock in each other's eyes. What had they seen? Gold? Although it wasn't pure, it really was gold!
You know, the price of gold on their planet Earth has already been driven up to a very high level. They never expected to find gold here at such a low price.
500 grams of gold is only worth 10,000 interdimensional coins? That's 20 per gram?
What a surprise! Not only did we find an energy stone, but we also found such a huge piece of gold.
That means there must be a gold mine near the Kolo Rabbit tribe. Thinking of this, the three of them couldn't help but get excited.
"Ahhh! I told you these stones were treasures! You didn't believe me, Chieftain, Uncle Mu, you see? These stones have a name, they're called Gold!"
And I even got so much dimensional currency, hehe...hehe! I told you my gut feeling was right! It really is valuable!
Just as everyone was silent, Ke Yan suddenly exclaimed in surprise. He was overjoyed that he had finally sold these stones, and he hadn't expected them to be so valuable.
Moreover, he remembers many of the places where he originally dug these stones! If he were to dig them all out, wouldn't that be...?
"Good heavens! You've really struck gold, kid. It wasn't for nothing that you've been longing for this for so long. Do you remember where you dug this stone? If you do, hurry up and find your Stone Brother and the others, and dig up some more before it gets dark!"
Chief Ke was so excited he was practically dancing with joy. He was overjoyed today; he never imagined there were so many treasures near his tribe.
"Yes, Chieftain! I'll go right away!"
After saying that, Ke Yan happily stuffed the dimensional card into the animal skin bag, then tied it tightly around his waist, walking along while grinning foolishly.
This is a card that belongs exclusively to him. With these dimensional coins, he can buy many, many things, and his sister and mother can safely get through this cold season.
Watching his figure disappear into the distance, Chief Ke looked at Gu Xinyan with an excited expression.
"Sir, how can this stone called gold be so valuable? It's just a stone, isn't it?"
