"Currency"
The currency used in [Shen Du – Akamagan] was neither banknotes, gold, silver, or copper coins. It was also not a barter method.
In this "deformed" city, there was a unique and irreproducible currency that was closely related to the life of an individual.
In order to obtain such a currency, an individual had to undergo a "wallet surgery."
Han Dong enjoyed such a surgery for free in the Colosseum.
A black tubular container (wallet) was implanted into the right forearm. Due to the large size of the container, half of the wallet was exposed on the surface of the right forearm.
The exposed tubular container was also marked with a capacity scale.
The "wallet" was also equipped with a dedicated interface for convenient "receipt" and "payment."
Since the wallet was an embedded container, the currency was clear: "Black Water."
"Black Water," known as "the origin of all things" and "the root of Shen Du," was the only currency in circulation in this deformed city.
Of course, just as Han Dong had discovered in the beginning, the Black Water also had its advantages and disadvantages.
This kind of Black Water, which was widely circulated in Shen Du as a unified currency, was of higher quality than what Han Dong saw outside the planet. According to Han Dong's test results, it was of "medium to low quality."
The Black Water stored in the container in Han Dong's arm, which was the two-month employment fee, was exactly 200ml.
Black Water below this quality could not be recognized by the "wallet."
Black Water above the general grade would not be stored in the wallet. It would be traded in a special way. It was difficult to exchange general Black Water for high quality Black Water.
"High quality goods," comparable to diamonds in human society, were only circulated in the higher levels or in the darker corners.
…
The roads were made of evenly arranged large ribs and cement.
The street lamps were a kind of spherical luminous body similar to the body sac of a firefly, which continued to provide light for the city.
The houses in the city retained the solid architectural style of ancient Egypt to a certain extent. Some solid geometric shapes, such as squares and triangles, were often used in architectural design. At the same time, the alien biological mechanical style was also added.
External characteristics that symbolized human tissue were used in the buildings.
For example, some column structures were similar to fingers or bones.
Some circular vaults were like large intestines.
A layer of soft material was added to the surface of the wall, making it irregular and uneven, just like the internal cavity of a living body.
There were even many buildings that completely abandoned the inherent Egyptian architectural style, and directly built with internal organs as the foundation to create a strange style of "organ building".
At the same time, the streets were also filled with Malone.
All kinds of living vehicles wrapped in skeletal shells and muscle tissues were moving quickly on the road.
Some of the vehicles retained the 'legs' structure of living creatures, while others used the 'wheels' structure. However, these vehicles all required the 'black water' as the driving force.
The pilots, on the other hand, sat in the 'body cavity' of the vehicle. It was warm and comfortable, and they could even perform some indescribable activities.
As for the passers-by walking on the streets, they were all 'fully armed'.
Or he brought a group of strong slaves with him.
Or they were equipped with bone-like living weapons on their arms.
Or directly put on a full set of exoskeleton armor.
It seemed that robberies were common in Shen Du.
Han Dong had never seen the slavery laws in the Fairy's Capital … but such a severe division of slavery meant that the city was not very peaceful.
Thinking of this.
Han Dong touched "John's spine" embedded in his back.
He also had a piece of self-defense equipment, and he also carried Marittis, a 'slave', with him. He looked no different from other pedestrians in the mountains, and generally, he would not be targeted.
Even if he encountered trouble, he could use the 'Colosseum'.
Judging from the huge building corresponding to the 'Colosseum', such an organization was at least a medium-sized and large organization in the Fairy's Capital.
"This is … the Fairy's Capital? A city born from the combination of high-end biotechnology and ancient Egyptian civilization … It's really eye-opening. "
When Han Dong saw this scene, there was a trace of yearning in his eyes.
Compared to the skyscrapers, network communications, and electronic technology in the world of his previous life, Han Dong was more inclined to such a world dominated by biomass.
Perhaps it was closely related to Han Dong's own profession.
When he stood on the street and saw the city for the first time, Han Dong's body trembled slightly with excitement. He could not help but want to deeply analyze such a beautiful city.
"It's our first time going to the Fairy's Capital, it's better to disguise as much as possible … Miss Marittis, can you learn from the other 'slaves' and follow behind me with your head down?"
"You!! No … I don't agree! "
Marittis was a dignified Atavistic Body. Nominally, she had become Han Dong's' temporary slave '. She had done a lot of psychological work for herself, and now she actually had to pretend to be a slave and follow behind him.
Seeing this, Han Dong had to turn on another slave mode — companion.
Many people on the street also did this, and they were in a state of hugging left and right. On the left was a beautiful and shy girl, and on the right was a muscular man.
Han Dong also learned from the other slave owners. His right hand slowly fell on Marittis's waist, and he hugged her to himself.
It was a completely different touch.
It was different from the touch of Mia, Wino, Miss Jane, and Captain Xia Ya … It was soft but elastic, perhaps it was related to the special material of the toad skin.
Also because Marittis was an amphibian, she had a lot of water.
When Han Dong hugged her like this, his palm was covered with water … It was wet and slippery and soft.
"… I'll reluctantly allow you to do this."
This kind of behavior would not make Marittis feel 'inferior'.
At the same time, Han Dong's name was also recorded in Marittis's mating book … Intimate contact was also allowed.
If this scene was passed back to the Holy City, the councilors would probably be shocked speechless. In the city, he was a law-abiding knight, but outside the city, he was hugging with an Atavistic Body …
Soon.
Han Dong found a decent looking hotel.
A potbellied boss was wearing a "neural interface" skull helmet and watching a memory movie embedded in the helmet.
He felt the approach of the guest.
A large muscle shotgun was directly pressed against Han Dong's head, greeting the customer in this way.
"How long will you stay?"
"As long as you can."
"Hmm?"
When the boss took off the skull helmet, Han Dong also showed a domino that represented the [Colosseum].
"It turned out to be someone from the Colosseum … I'll give you a discount.
If it's a long stay, the average is 1.5 milliliters a day. Before you stay, you need to pay ten days' worth of room fees in advance. "
When the boss finished, he stretched out his arm and put it against Han Dong's arm … In the case of subjective consciousness, the "wallet" was connected and the transaction was completed.
