Chapter 160: Exchange Gold Coins and Purchase Cards
Ji Xing blocked the door and looked around.
The store is quite large and well-stocked. On the far left, there are several vending machines, and on the far right, there are seven or eight larger machines with the words "Coin Exchange Machine" written on them!
Alright, exchange your gold coins here!
Ji Xinghan immediately walked over and selected a gold coin exchange machine.
The redemption machine is about 1.5 meters tall, with a square, glossy black tabletop underneath and an electronic screen on top.
Ji Xinghan lightly touched the screen, and it lit up, displaying a large circular button-shaped graphic with two large characters written on it: "Exchange"!
Ji Xinghan gently touched the button.
The screen flashes: [Please place the item you wish to redeem on the table.]
Ji Xinghan was taken aback. What item was he supposed to exchange for? Gold coins were exchanged for items?
But are there no requirements regarding the items?
She thought for a moment, then took out 30 pieces of sheet metal and placed them on the table.
A flash of light appeared on the screen: [30 iron sheets can be exchanged for 30 gold coins. Exchange now? Yes? No?]
Ji Xinghan's eyes lit up. 30 iron sheets could be exchanged for 30 gold coins. That's generous!
She has plenty of sheet metal!
She clicked the redemption button, and with a "whoosh," the sheet metal on the table disappeared, accompanied by a rattling sound from underneath. After less than ten seconds, the sound stopped, and with a "click," a small box emerged from under the table, containing 30 gleaming gold coins.
Ji Xinghan put away the gold coins, then took out 1,000 iron plates and exchanged them for 1,000 gold coins.
Since she had plenty of sheet metal and iron blocks, she simply took out another 1,000 sheet metals and exchanged them for 1,000 gold coins.
She then experimented with plastic, wood, and other materials, and found that they were all exchangeable.
Ji Xinghan had a lot of materials, and she immediately exchanged them in batches. Before long, she emptied a lot of things from her storage backpack and exchanged them for gold coins.
She had collected a lot of materials and wanted to stop.
However, after she redeemed the gold coins, a notification suddenly appeared: [Remaining Gold Coins: !]
Ji Xinghan was stunned. This was all the money in the vending machine? That was too little!
Are you planning to distribute these gold coins to 100,000 players? Does that mean each player gets one gold coin?
She was only surprised for a moment, then immediately realized what was going on.
This service area isn't open yet; it's under renovation. The rules and settings inside aren't perfect, which is why the redemption machine only has 100,000 gold coins.
So... does each redemption machine have 100,000 gold coins, or is there only 100,000 gold coins in total?
Ji Xinghan immediately switched to another redemption machine and found that the message was the same.
An idea struck her, and she casually took out a battery, exchanging it for 10 gold coins. The result? The notification changed to: [Remaining Gold Coins: !]
Sure enough, these redemption machines are shared!
Less than 70,000 gold coins left?
This row of gold coin exchange machines only has less than 70,000 gold coins available for exchange!
"Bang!" Long Si slammed into the door again, and the door creaked open, cracking open a crack.
Ji Xinghan turned his head and glanced at it.
That won't do. Long Si, if you cycle through a few more times, the door will open!
She made a decision immediately and exchanged all the gold coins!
She tested each of the unused items in her storage backpack on the redemption machine's counter, and found that the machine accepted almost anything.
What else is there to say?
Exchange!
Ji Xinghan immediately busied himself with exchanging the money.
While exchanging the currency, she kept an eye on the movements of Ji Wenqiao and the others outside.
Outside, screams continued, and warning sounds were incessant, but they kept pausing.
Ji Xinghan's hands kept moving, and gold coins poured out with a clatter.
When Ji Wenqiao and the others pushed open the door, she was collecting gold coins.
A huge pile of gold coins, so bright and shiny, almost dazzled their eyes.
Long Shisan shouted, "Gold coins, haha, gold coins, so many gold coins, let's grab them!"
Ji Xinghan glanced at them, then stared at the notification: [Remaining Gold Coins: 0!]
She happily put the gold coins one by one into her backpack.
If they're so capable, why don't they try to steal one?
Long Shisan's eyes lit up. Of course he wanted to snatch it. If they were outside, he would have killed Ji Xinghan long ago without anyone telling him.
Now, with a sliver of reason remaining, Long Shisan gripped his steel knife tightly, eager to try.
Long San reached out to stop him, frowning: "Nonsense, fighting is prohibited in service areas, do you want to die?"
Long Si had already been kicked out, and he couldn't afford to lose his only remaining follower.
Ji Wenqiao glanced at Ji Xinghan and then quickly walked towards a redemption machine.
Lu Zihan was quick, arriving at a redemption machine a step ahead of Ji Wenqiao. She touched the machine and immediately exclaimed in alarm, "Oh no, we're out of coins!"
Everyone rushed over to see.
Long Shisan muttered, "How is that possible? This is a service area prepared for 100,000 players!"
He swiped his hand, and the exchange interface appeared in a flash. Then he touched and clicked "Exchange".
Please place the item you wish to redeem on the table.
Long Shisan casually took a longsword out of his backpack and placed it on the table.
[One intermediate longsword can be exchanged for 20 gold coins. Exchange now? Yes? No?]
Long Shisan was overjoyed: "Haha, it can be exchanged! It can be exchanged!"
Long San nodded: "The exchange rate is good!"
Long Shisan selected "Yes," and with a "whoosh," the battery on the table disappeared.
Long Shisan laughed heartily: "It's done, it's done! Don't be scared by the notification, everyone, hurry up and redeem it! It's done, it's done! Hahaha, 20 gold coins, not bad, not bad!"
Lu Zihan leaned over, stared for a while, and asked, "Why aren't there any gold coins?"
Lu Zihan: "After Ji Xinghan redeemed the coins, a shower of gold coins would have fallen down. Why didn't you get any?"
Long Shisan tapped the screen, and the "Redeem" button reappeared.
"Huh?" he exclaimed in surprise, thought for a moment, and put in 5 batteries.
[5 batteries can be exchanged for 50 gold coins. Exchange now? Yes? No?]
Long Shisan: "Yes!"
The battery disappeared with a "whoosh," and then nothing else happened.
Lu Zihan stared at it for a long time: "Oh, so the redemption machine really doesn't have any coins left!"
At this moment, Ji Wenqiao and the others also looked very bad. They had all tried, but it was no use. The exchange machine gave them whatever it asked for, and the prompts were very clear, but after the exchange, the items disappeared, and they didn't get a single gold coin.
Long Shisan understood, and gritted his teeth: "Pah, another bug!"
Ji Wenqiao's face turned pale as she looked at Ji Xinghan.
Ji Xinghan was relieved to see that they couldn't exchange for even a single gold coin.
She turned and went to the vending machine on the left.
There were items in the counter, but they weren't automatically sold. The NPC probably hadn't arrived yet, so she couldn't buy anything. The only things she could buy right now were the vending machines on the left.
There are several vending machines on the left: a general merchandise vending machine, a battery vending machine, a card vending machine, and a clothing vending machine.
Ji Xinghan tried it out; the clothing vending machine was broken and hadn't been turned on yet, but the others were working.
You can buy batteries from the battery vending machine; one battery costs 10 gold coins, the same price as when you exchanged them earlier.
It's likely that the pricing for this service area wasn't set correctly, otherwise the exchange rate wouldn't be like this.
Ji Xinghan first turned on the vending machine.
The glass cabinet of the vending machine is filled with compartments of miscellaneous items, which can be clearly seen from the outside.
Ji Wenqiao and her group wandered around for a while and soon arrived to watch.
Ji Xinghan: ...
Before they came in, she quickly bought two items and then turned to the card vending machine.
Unlike other vending machines, card vending machines have black, opaque lockers.
No one can see what's inside.
Moreover, the card vending machine is two meters high, two meters wide, and two meters long; it's essentially a black box.
There's also an electronic screen at the very front that displays: "Insert coins to enter!"
To get in, you need to insert 10 coins.
Ji Xinghan quickly inserted 10 gold coins. With a creak, the door of the card vending machine opened, and Ji Xinghan quickly slipped inside.
The door clicked shut again.
Ji Wenqiao and many others were watching closely. Long Shisan, with his sharp eyes, shouted, "I see it! I see it! There are so many cards for sale inside, and they're so cheap!"
