Chapter 678 Opening the box

  Looking at Stifal in front of him, Duanmu Huai couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

   This is not because Stifal is a beautiful woman, but because he suddenly thought of a question.

   In the game, Stifal is a very rare official merchant NPC. Players cannot buy her items with game currency.

  By the way, when the player travels through the worlds, each world has a different exchange rate for the game currency. After completing the mission, the player will get credit coins, which can be regarded as a standard currency used in the Inquisition space station. And when they go to other worlds, their currency will be automatically converted into the local currency, of course, because the currency exchange rate of each world is different, so players often see their wallet numbers between six and three digits back and forth...

  But generally speaking, the lower the better, because the lower the number, the higher the value of the currency, and the things you can buy will be strong. On the contrary, if the value is low, it will be troublesome.

   In the real world, of course, Duanmu Huai did not have a system to automatically convert currency for him. In fact, Duanmu Huai went to most worlds almost in the most primitive way of bartering. Like in the High Tower Council, Duanmuhuai didn't want their currency when the other party bought the cruiser of the Tribunal, but chose to use raw materials to pay off the debt.

  Even if it is the Star Alliance, Duanmuhuai let them use resources and galaxies as rewards, as well as some political conveniences.

  In the final analysis, this world does not have a unified business system, and most of the way a rogue trader goes out is similar. In fact, during the empire period, most of the time the tax collection was not money but in kind. Some conscription planets directly used the source of soldiers instead of taxation.

  In this case, you have to talk about money——Duanmuhuai basically doesn’t have any, but he doesn’t lack either.

  Taking the world of Faerun as an example, Duanmuhuai certainly has no local currency, but is that a problem? He has mined so many asteroids in outer space. If nothing else, he will just bring you a piece of gold as high as a hill. In most worlds, you will basically get rich immediately.

  Of course, there is also a currency that is common throughout the galaxy, where order is chaotic, and good and evil can all go.

   That’s the soul (laughs).

   Well, without further ado.

  Stifal is actually a merchant in the official mall, and her products are purchased with star coins—that is, the game mall coins specially purchased by players after krypton gold.

   To put it bluntly, he is a krypton gold merchant.

   Duanmu Huai’s system can’t turn on the recharge mode, and he doesn’t have a credit card, so naturally he doesn’t have star coins to use. Then Duanmuhuai was very curious, what would Stifal ask him to pay for?

   Moreover, Christifal can come up with a lot of strange things in the game, which is of course easy to explain in the game, but how can she explain it in reality?

   Is this really realistic? Or a game?

   "What do you need?"

   "I need some soul cards."

   Duanmu Huai walked to the counter, stared at Stifal, and spoke as if in a game, but Stiffal didn't care.

   "Of course there is no problem. Do you have any request?"

   "Well... I have a territory to manage, so I need a high level of internal affairs. By the way, I need soul cards that are mainly humans."

"I see."

  Stiffal didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with Duanmuhuai's words at all, she just nodded, and then thought for a while.

   "Since you have such a request, I can recommend you a set of attendant cards."

   "Accomplice deck?"

   "That's right, a set of ten cards, including regents, councilors, generals, financial officers, high priests, diplomats, magic advisors, chief guards, councilors, and intelligence officers."

   "So much trouble?"

   "The regent will be in charge of the others. If you don't have time, you can just listen to the report of the regent."

   "That's more or less."

  Duanmu Huai breathed a sigh of relief, jokingly, he is not in the mood to manage a territory, and it would be best if someone took care of it right now. Just like Akot, you can leave the specific matters to other people, and you only need to be responsible for making a rubber stamp.

"anything else?"

   "There are five types: Classic Edition, Deluxe Edition, Limited Collector's Edition, Complete Collector's Edition, and Royal Ultimate Collector's Edition..."

   "Fine, I want the Royal Ultimate Collection."

   Duanmu Huai either didn't buy it, or he bought the best one. He chose one decisively, and then... is the key point.

   "Just one problem, I don't have any money, what are you going to ask me to pay for?"

"Um………"

  Facing Duanmuhuai's almost rogue-like inquiry, Stifal stretched out his fingers to his chin, and thought for a while.

   "If you don't have the currency of this world, you can use divine power instead..."

   "Huh——"

However, before Stifal's voice fell, Duanmuhuai suddenly grabbed the warhammer behind him and swung it violently at Stifal. The huge thunder hammer swept across Stifal's head and stopped on her body. side.

   "Who the **** are you?"

Duanmuhuai stared at Stifal coldly. From the moment he entered the door, he always thought that the other party was just an ordinary human being, but Stifal saw through his true identity in an instant, so there was a problem .

   "Are you someone related to this game? What kind of world am I in now? Is it reality? Or a game?"

"Owner?"

   Seeing Duanmuhuai move without saying a word, Augis also widened her eyes in surprise, and Yanwei was even more startled, but just as Yanwei spoke, Duanmuhuai waved her hand to signal her not to speak.

"answer my question."

"Why………"

   Facing Duanmuhuai's question, Stifal didn't care. She didn't even seem to notice the huge war hammer next to her head at all, and just spread her hands helplessly.

"Even if you say that, I'm just a businessman who walks among the planes. Buying and selling goods is my job. No matter who the other party is, as long as there is business to do, I'm just a businessman who does his duty. As for your second question..."

  While speaking, Stifal stretched out his finger, put it on his mouth, and smiled slightly.

   "It doesn't really make sense."

"Um?"

"Is this reality, or fantasy, or a game? What's the difference? You're living in this world, and to you, that's the most important thing, isn't it? Maybe the world we live in is just a book written by someone Unknowable beings write our lives, maybe, and maybe sell our stories to other people. But even so, even if you know this, so what? The world still goes on, life goes on Go on, won't you?"

   "... Well, what you said makes sense."

Duanmuhuai was silent for a moment, and put down his warhammer. Players have already discussed similar issues. Someone once posted a post in the forum, claiming that their universe is actually another Sims game of a higher civilization, and their every move is actually similar to Sims. Like the villain in the movie, you are seen by higher beings, and many times the strange thoughts that pop up in your mind are actually because those higher beings directly control your actions and thoughts.

  For example, if you want to eat, but suddenly go to the toilet, because your health value is almost full, so a higher-dimensional player takes control of you.

   But...does it make sense?

   Of course not.

   People live as they want, and all guesses are just delusions before they get tangible evidence.

  In other words, some people might just get into the horns, but Duanmuhuai didn't care so much, just like what Stifal said, it's up to you to do what you want.

   Could it be that now that he knows that this world is a game or a novel, he suddenly realizes it, and then trembles all over, transcending the void?

   Of course it is impossible.

   "All I can say is that your existence is very important to this world."

   "But it's not indispensable, is it?"

   "It... depends on your own efforts."

"All right………"

   Obviously, there is only so much the other party can say. Although there are no good answers, this is fine. Duanmu Huai took the card handed over by the other party, and then injected his divine power into a crystal ball-like thing in Stifal's hand - the complete collection version is certainly expensive, but fortunately, Duanmu Huai's current divine power is not Not enough to pay. Of course, God of Destruction's divine power experience, which was increased by almost half before, is now completely exhausted.

   This thing is really more expensive than money.

  But krypton gold is like this (stand up).

  After collecting the cards, Duanmu Huai immediately opened a portal and returned to his own world first. After all, the construction of the territory is very important. As for the troubles on Aurelia's side... we can only deal with it later.

   Reopening the door and returning to Faerun was more troublesome than climbing in before. Duanmuhuai's teleportation door opened directly to the ground, so he had no choice but to dig a passage, and finally crawled out from the ground tens of meters deep.

   "Woo... bah bah bah, the clothes are all dirty..."

   Crawling out of the pit, looking at the dust all over her head and face, Yanwei wanted to cry, but Augis shook her head.

"Do not complain."

   "So what if I complain a few words?"

   "We are dolls, we will do whatever the master wants."

   "Could it be that the master wants to jump into the lava, and you jump in and burn to death?"

"certainly."

   "Okay, you two shut up, my head hurts..."

  Duanmu Huai helplessly interrupted the unhealthy quarrel between Augis and Yanwei, then he reached out and took out the card box, looking at the sealed cards inside.

According to Stifal, the reason why this set of "Royal Ultimate Collection" is expensive is because it contains royal families from various worlds. The reason why they are willing to sign contracts and turn them into soul cards is to learn political experience , so as to return to their own world and work hard to build a country.

  Of course, the contract period is one hundred years.

   Well, thanks to the soul card, wouldn't a mortal be a proper devil?

   Then, let's see how lucky I am.

  Looking at the cards in front of him, Duanmu Huai took a deep breath, and Stifal said that the Royal Ultimate Collector's Edition guarantees three legends...then how many cards can he get?

   Not much to say, just open the card and you will know!

  Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai opened the card box without hesitation.
