CHAPTER 6: CHAPTER 6: TICKET PRICES

"This is the ticket point the other party mentioned."

Zhou Yingting, following the directions given by Song Qingyun, successfully found the ticket point.

The ticket point overall didn’t look particularly large, about the size of a convenience store.

There was one service window and two ticket machines at the ticket counter.

There was no one at the service window, so if you wanted to buy a ticket, you obviously had to rely on these two machines.

Seeing this, Zhou Yingting naturally came to the ticket machine in front of him.

"Wali Town Ticket Machine."

Tag: ’Indestructible’

Hmm?

This ticket machine comes with a tag, indestructible?

Zhou Yingting looked at the ticket machine in front of him with a hint of doubt, but soon he was relieved.

Indeed, since no one was around the ticket machine, unless it came with an indestructible tag, you could easily dismantle the machine and take the tickets out directly.

Zhou Yingting estimated that with his current strength, he could forcibly dismantle the ticket machine.

Unfortunately.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yingting couldn’t help but feel a bit regretful, then opened the ticket machine in front of him.

The ticket machine could only sell two types of tickets, one was a train ticket, the other was a ship ticket.

The price of the train ticket...

Zhou Yingting looked closely and saw that the train ticket was priced at 168 Blood Gold.

would be fine, but what is this currency marked afterward, Blood Gold?

Is it the local currency unique to this place? How do you acquire it?

Zhou Yingting frowned and looked at the ship ticket.

T1013: 588 Blood Gold

This ship ticket, why is it more expensive than the train ticket?

And so much more expensive? Is there some hidden benefit with the ship ticket?

Zhou Yingting rubbed his chin, pondering in front of the ticket point.

Logically speaking, being expensive usually has its reasons, but who knows if this scenario follows that logic.

Also, how exactly to acquire this Blood Gold.

Zhou Yingting looked for a while and didn’t see anything else that seemed overlooked, so he turned and left the ticket office, ready to check out other places.

Speaking of money, in this town, the place most likely to have money should be the bank.

However, it’s uncertain if there is a bank here.

Another possibility is to look at supermarkets and such, maybe there are some leftover Blood Gold in those places.

If the Ion Tower was accidentally damaged by the town’s people and if the Plasma wreaked havoc while the residents were fleeing in a panic, it is quite possible that some money was dropped.

After leaving the ticket office, Zhou Yingting started checking around the town’s surroundings.

Soon, Zhou Yingting spotted a small shop around a corner.

Seeing the small shop, Zhou Yingting’s expression immediately lit up with joy, and quickly headed towards the shop.

The shop’s door was locked, but unfortunately, after the devastation from the Plasma, it was already dilapidated.

Zhou Yingting reached out and gently pulled, and the shop’s door collapsed in pieces on the ground.

Upon entering the shop and taking a closer look, Zhou Yingting found the shop to be in complete disarray, with various food and drinks scattered across the floor.

At first glance, quite a bit of the shop was already empty, presumably because they left in a hurry and didn’t have time to take everything.

Zhou Yingting’s gaze moved away from the food and went straight to the store’s cash register.

When Zhou Yingting opened the drawer, it was empty.

Unwilling to give up, Zhou Yingting continued to pull open the lower drawers.

Drawer after drawer was opened, and they were all empty.

"Weird, did I guess wrong? There aren’t any leftover money here, and obtaining Blood Gold isn’t done this way?"

Zhou Yingting sat back onto the chair behind him, staring at the empty seats, lost in thought.

"Forget it, let’s see if there’s a town map here to locate the bank."

Frowning, Zhou Yingting got up, intending to search around the town to see if he could find a map.

As Zhou Yingting stood up, the table and chairs in front of him moved slightly, causing a blood-red coin to fall to the ground, making a clear, crisp sound.

"Ding!"

Accompanied by a little clink, Zhou Yingting’s body immediately tensed, and then he lit up with joy.

"That seems to be the sound of money!"

The sound of a coin falling, it’s exactly this kind of sound.

Zhou Yingting quickly searched downward and soon found a blood-red gleam entering his sight.

Zhou Yingting reached out and picked up the blood-red coin, then examined it closely in his hand.

The entire coin was blood-red, with a hint of golden yellow faintly visible within.

On the front of this Blood Gold, a number "2" was engraved.

This indicates it should be two Blood Gold.

Zhou Yingting rubbed the Blood Gold in his hand, falling into slight contemplation.

He then remembered something – when he just saw Song Qingyun and the others, they were inside the shop.

Could it be that they weren’t simply looking for food but searching for Blood Gold?

And the reason they didn’t tell him was naturally to avoid gaining another competitor.

After all, how much Blood Gold can be found in the whole town is still an unknown.

"If that’s the case, then I need to speed up next."

Thinking of this, Zhou Yingting overturned the counter in front of him, turning it completely over.

This time, however, Zhou Yingting found no more Blood Gold.

Seeing this, Zhou Yingting didn’t dwell on it, searched the shop a bit, and soon found a map of Wali Town. On the map, Zhou Yingting quickly located the positions of other shops.

Even around the town center, Zhou Yingting found the position of a bank.

"There really is a bank!"

Looking at the bank in front of him, Zhou Yingting was overjoyed, then hurriedly packed up the map and headed towards the bank in the town center.

Wali Town was split by a main road, making it easy to find the town center by following the road to its midpoint.

After spending a moment, Zhou Yingting arrived at the town center, then stayed on the right of the central road, spotting the bank’s gates from a distance.

But when Zhou Yingting excitedly arrived in front of the bank, the inscription on the bank doors brought him to an immediate halt.

"Silver Lock, Durability: 38873/100000."

Over thirty thousand durability?

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Yingting picked up a nearby stone and tried smashing it against the lock.

"Boom!"

With only a dull thud, the stone in Zhou Yingting’s hand turned to dust, and the lock in front of him didn’t lose a single point of durability.

Unwilling to give up, Zhou Yingting smashed several more times without losing any durability, eventually having to give up.

It seems this lock’s durability was reduced to this level by the Plasma’s damage.

Since a single blow couldn’t reduce its durability, it seemed pointless to waste more time on this.

Frowning, Zhou Yingting, although not very familiar with the bank’s structure, understood that even if he got past the first lock on this gate, inside there would be several more layers of locks leading to the vault.

Spending time on this lock would just be a waste of time.
