Chapter 1353 Exchange 50 Kilograms for Me
……
"Your Highness, Lord Mo Yan, to enter the black market and the gladiatorial area, each person needs to exchange at least ten gold coins for trading chips. If you want to enter the lowest level of slave trading, you need to exchange at least one magic crystal trading code."
The receptionist rubbed his hands humbly and said apologetically, "I hope the two princes will forgive me. This is also the rule in the industry. I can't do anything about it."
The need to exchange trading chips is a way to protect transactions, to prevent certain people from bidding on items, or refusing to pay after verbal transactions, or running away, resulting in irreparable losses in transactions.
Similarly, exchanging trading chips is also a way to screen customers.
To enter the largest central black market in Liuhuo City, you must first be a noble, or at least a dignitary, and economic ability is the best sign. Otherwise, the largest black market in this capital city will not take you to play at all.
Otherwise, ordinary civilians will not only have the ability to consume here, but will easily cause trouble after entering. If you annoy a big shot, their black market will also be implicated. Therefore, generally, black markets with a little bit of quality assurance will make a preliminary economic judgment on customers.
Of course, some small black markets built in civilian areas do not require so much basic amount of exchange.
Some black markets with mixed fish and dragons do not even need a transaction code at all, but if you trade in such a black market, it means that there is no guarantee. If you are not careful, you will lose your life instead of money.
"Gold coins? Magic crystal coins?" Wang Yan couldn't help but raise questions after hearing the explanation of the old man at the reception.
The old man at the reception was slightly stunned. It was obvious that he did not understand what Wang Yan meant. He thought, could it be that the adult in front of him did not understand what gold coins and magic crystal coins were?
"Old man, what are you staring at? I am asking you about the exchange rate in our Liuhuo City."
The Lord Chihuo glared at the old man who was receiving him, and then he took out a blue diamond crystal with words embossed on it, which was about the size of a one-yuan coin, and handed it to Wang Yan sideways, "Boss, this is the magic crystal coin."
However, he didn't pretend to be rich for more than three seconds, and then he grinned, as if afraid of being heard, and came to Wang Yan and laughed softly: "Hehe, that boss, you also know that I am poor... I, I only have this one magic crystal coin, I am afraid I can't exchange it for the transaction code for you, but you can find my sister, she is very rich."
Wang Yan gave Chihuo a helpless look, thinking that this guy has made it to this level now, which is really promising.
But before Wang Yan could speak, the receptionist hurriedly reported: "Lord Mo Yan, you are a distinguished guest from outside, and you may not know something. I will explain the currency exchange rate of our Liuhuo City to you."
"According to the currency regulations of the Hell General Business Bank, the exchange rate of our base currency is the same. One gold coin is equivalent to one hundred silver coins, and one silver coin is equivalent to one hundred copper coins. However, the magic crystal coin is a high-level currency, and its value is linked to the fire marrow. The price occasionally fluctuates. At present, one magic crystal coin is worth about one gram of fire marrow, which is about three thousand gold coins."
After the receptionist said this, Wang Yan understood.
Since he came to Hell, he has been domineering and oppressing his younger brothers, and there is no need to use currency at all. Now he can roughly understand the use of currency in the Hell world and the relevant exchange rate with his country on Earth.
According to his current summary, the Hell world also uses rare metals, gold, silver, and copper as ordinary general equivalents.
This is also the result of historical selection.
Although the mineral resources here are rich, the beautiful gold, silver and copper are also precious metals, and they play an important role in sacrifice and refining, which is their value.
In addition, these metals are inert metals, which means that they hardly react with other elements. This means that they will still look like this a thousand years later. This is also one of the key factors for these metals to become the currency of hell.
So after historical screening, gold, silver and copper finally became the materials of the basic currency here.
This can also be well understood why some wizards and sorcerers on Earth usually need to prepare a large amount of gold and silver treasures in order to exchange power with the devils of hell or ask the devils of hell to kill people.
As the saying goes, money can make the devil push the mill, and now it seems that it is not a joke. It can be said that as long as there is enough money, the devil can kill people for you.
However, after a brief analysis and conversion by Wang Yan, it was found that the value of the basic currency of the hell world is still a little different from the currency of his motherland on Earth.
For example, a full-weight silver coin is worth about 100 yuan here, and a gold coin is worth about 10,000. As for the copper coins with a smaller value, and units below the copper coins, those are the currencies that only the poor will use. Wang Yan's current identity and status no longer need them, so he didn't calculate them too much.
According to his current understanding, an ordinary young man who works as a reception assistant in Liuhuo City, not counting tips, has a normal salary income of only three to four gold coins a year. If some tips are added, it can be considered a middle income among ordinary residents.
If it is some poor serfs who rely on farming, gathering, running errands and doing odd jobs, their annual income is even less.
Therefore, the basic currency of the hell world has great value among ordinary residents. Having a dozen gold coins is already a lot of money.
However, the magic crystal coins mentioned by the old man are different.
The magic crystal coins come from a natural energy deposit. Hell is a world with abundant elemental aura, so a natural energy crystal is produced. It is like jade or gemstones on our earth. It is not only beautiful in appearance, but also full of pure energy.
Therefore, magic crystals can not only be used for transactions, but also provide pure energy to users when they are in urgent need. However, once the energy in the magic crystal is absorbed, the magic crystal coins will naturally lose their value.
So over time, this rare energy crystal was refined and processed by people, and finally became a high-end currency circulated in the upper class.
The exchange price of this high-end currency is also very different from that of ordinary currency.
For example, in the territory of the Purgatory Demon Clan, the energy contained in a magic crystal coin is approximately equivalent to one gram of fire marrow. This is also the unit of measurement after Wang Yan's translation and conversion. He is still accustomed to using the unit of measurement on Earth as the standard of measurement.
Fire marrow is a necessity for fire creatures to advance and practice, which also lays the foundation for its universal value in the Purgatory Demon Clan.
The residents in the territory of the Purgatory Demon Clan have a great demand for fire marrow and other fire-related materials, and need to purchase fire marrow from other places, which requires the use of a universal currency, that is, magic crystal coins.
Residents of other territories also need to use magic crystal coins as a unit of measurement if they want to buy precious items they need.
This is how magic crystal coins spread in the territories of the three great demon gods. And its exchange price with ordinary currency is directly linked to the market price of energy essence such as fire marrow, which has a very stable stability and is a hard currency.
"One magic crystal coin is equal to one gram of fire marrow?" Wang Yan touched his chin, thought for a while, raised his hand and took out a large box from the storage bracelet, and threw it in front of the receptionist: "This is fire marrow, I want to exchange it for 50 kilograms."
