Cultivator in the Last Days-Chapter 86: Water

Chapter 86: Water
Local website?
Yu Shi Lan was confused and her phone was not capable of connecting with the internet. This old phone should have long been eliminated from the market in the first place.
If it was not because her foster parents were too stingy, Yu Shi Lan would have long bought a better phone.
Well....
It was not like she didn’t have a new one.
Yu Shi Lan silently took out a brand new phone and turned it on while she walked inside and looked around. There were some people who offered to be a guide and looking at their clothing, Yu Shi Lan guessed that they should be poor children in this base.
Before that, she looked at the announcement board.
This kind of thing was rarely used in the usual time. But considering that not everyone could have phone, there were many things posted here.
Most of it was the rules of people who wanted to stay on the base, though.
"Meow." <I can’t understand any of that.>
Xiao Mao looked at the unfamiliar letters in front of her with a strange expression. The language used in the cultivation world and on the Green Planet was a bit different and Xiao Mao never actually learned how to read.
Besides, she didn’t really need this skill.
It was enough for her to know things from asking Yu Shi Lan.
"The rules of no fighting, no killing, laws are still uphold and the trading rate for money to points," Yu Shi Lan said calmly.
It was impossible for the government not to use the money at all in the early stage or society will collapse. If these things were defined as waste paper from the very beginning, it would not be fair for those who had worked hard before the world collapse.
But with so many people robbing out there... money will soon become nothing more than waste paper.
Their main currency will change into contribution points.
Yu Shi Lan looked at the expensive exchange rate, but didn’t care too much about it. She looked at the building in front of her and walked inside without hesitation. There were also a lot of other people here, each carrying their belongings and trading them for some points.
Instead of using money, people were using resources that they didn’t need to exchange for contribution points.
Gold, food, and even various electronic appliances.
Yu Shi Lan glanced at the screen on the side that was showing the exchange rate and she blinked her eyes.
So they have been using this electronic board from the very beginning.
She thought that they only used in the future when they have secured the stable electrical sources. After all, the earthquake had destroyed many things and it was surprising that they could still use this thing.
Or they have secured a lot of generators?
Yu Shi Lan didn’t know.
She saw that the price of gold to contribution point was a pitiful 500gr for 1 point.
Yu Shi Lan: "..."
If this exchange rate was given before the earthquake happened, many people will definitely cry.
She ignored it since she didn’t collect gold and moved towards grains and so on.
Grains were priced at 1 point for every 1 kg, all types were allowed.
Water were more expensive. If it was bottled water, they will give 1 point for every 100 milliliters. If it was clean drinkable water from unknown source, they will give 1 points for every 0,5 liters.
And so on.
The exchange rate was indeed not very ideal and Yu Shi Lan didn’t bring many things with her.
Since points are expensive, Yu Shi Lan guessed that it wouldn’t be easy for her to get a private residence to stay in the base. And staying with others was definitely a big no.
’I should have collected more resources before entering the base...’ Yu Shi Lan thought to herself.
She did collect some canned food from the malls and other useless items when she passed by. But the amount was not much because many things have been taken by others and Yu Shi Lan had no interest to take other things.
"Meow?" <Do you want to go out again?>
Xiao Mao would not mind going out again, though.
Yu Shi Lan shook her head and simply lined up. The people moved pretty quickly and when it was her turn, she took out a gallon of water from her backpack. This made some people look in her direction with strange expression.
The content was naturally not the real processed water, but she had replaced it with her spell.
Using basic water spell, she could easily turn her Qi into water and had filled a few gallons in her space. She originally planned to use them for making ice later since the amount of Qi she has was limited.
But since water can be exchanged for points, let’s just use it for the time being.
"If it’s water, we need to test the content first. Please wait on this line, Miss."
"Yes."
Yu Shi Lan waited on the side while the receptionist called the next one in the line while her water was being tested. After all, the gallon was not closed by the proper seal, so it would take some time.
But Yu Shi Lan was confident that it was drinkable, though.
She took out two gallons at the same time since one gallon contained 4,5 liters of water and two gallons meant 9 liters of water.
It should be possible to get 18 points.
While it didn’t seem much but based on the current exchange rate, it seemed to be a pretty good amount of money.
Before long, the staff returned and nodded at Yu Shi Lan.
"The water is drinkable. It’s worth 18 points. Would you like to exchange something else?" The staff’s eyes looked a bit eager when they looked in Yu Shi Lan’s direction.
It has been a while since someone exchanged water with them and the water was also drinkable.
