Chapter 196: Staying
“Director Song, it’s been a long time! I never expected to meet again under such circumstances!”
Song Tiantian knew as soon as Song Ruyu arrived at the Pet Beast Center.
So she personally went downstairs to receive Song Ruyu.
The Pet Beast Center needs to develop, and to develop, it needs people. Fortunately, there are still some vacant rooms and employee dormitories that can be squeezed into.
Song Tiantian transferred one hundred points to Song Jun, asking him to register everyone’s skills.
Song Jun wished he could immediately go to the weaponry to check his points, but at this moment, he also knew the importance of the matter.
Song Tiantian had finally started to value him and assigned him work, so he naturally had to do the work first.
There were simply too many people entering the Pet Beast Center; he knew he would have to work overtime again today.
Song Ruyu told Song Tiantian, and he didn’t care.
He felt that Song Tiantian would not accept so many people for nothing. The Pet Beast Center’s supplies were limited, and he guessed she would have to have a good talk with Song Ruyu.
“Boss Song, I also didn’t expect to be in such a state when we meet again!”
Song Ruyu said to Song Tiantian with a wry smile.
Song Tiantian had Dr. Bai behind her, giving Song Tiantian the qualification to speak with her as an equal.
Actually, Song Ruyu didn’t think Song Tiantian was that powerful. If Dr. Bai wasn’t at the Pet Beast Center, Song Tiantian would be the one fleeing in disarray, not her.
However, when one is under another’s roof, one learns to bow their head.
She was deliberately showing weakness to gain Song Tiantian’s sympathy and strive for some better treatment for herself.
“Director Song, you have it hard, and I have it hard too! I originally wanted to go to Qingshan City to restock, but now even Qingshan City’s granary is gone. It’s come to this point, and the Pet Beast Center is truly struggling now.
As you just saw, there were a bunch of troublemakers at the city gate just now. If things weren’t truly difficult, why would I want to drive these people out of the Pet Beast Center?
The expenses for the four city gates in the east, west, south, and north are not low every day. Those security guards are risking their lives, and I have to be worthy of them.
The Pet Beast Center’s supplies are insufficient, and the network is also down, so we can’t use money anymore.
Now, the Pet Beast Center can only purchase supplies with points for the time being.
In an instant, we’ve almost returned to primitive society. Points have just been introduced and are very inconvenient. Citizens cannot transfer money privately, and now everyone has entered the stage of barter.
Song Tiantian also sighed and complained bitterly to Song Ruyu.
“Boss Song, don’t you still have Dr. Bai here? If the sky falls, the taller ones will hold it up. What are you afraid of?”
“Director Song, that’s not right. I am the major shareholder of the Pet Beast Center, and I am also the chairman. I am handling all matters here. I can’t rely on Dr. Bai for everything!
However, regarding currency, Dr. Bai suggested using energy ore to be ground into coins. Each piece of energy ore, even if it’s just a broken stone, can be used for cultivation.
This energy stone is a hard currency; basically, everyone needs it, so there’s no fear of being stuck with a pile of energy stones that are useless.
Now, everyone in the Pet Beast Center is a Beast Tamer, and as Beast Tamers, they can sense the energy within the energy stones.
In any case, energy stones have many uses!
Song Ruyu understood Song Tiantian’s hint at this moment and said to Song Tiantian, “I brought a batch of energy ore with me this time. I know that the cost of making identity tokens for your Pet Beast Center is very high. I’ll give you energy ore, and in return, you’ll make an identity token for everyone in our Enforcement Team.
They risked their lives to protect the people, shedding blood and sweat; it wasn’t easy.
“I respect the people of your Enforcement Team the most in my life. Protecting the people is not easy! If things weren’t truly difficult, why would I ask you for supplies?
Your hunted Fierce Beast corpses can be acquired by the Pet Beast Center. Don’t worry, I will only charge you the cost price for making identity tokens.
With so many people coming here, why not get identity tokens for all of them together?
If there isn’t enough energy ore, there are Spiritual Plants. You can have them contribute a little themselves then, and we can process them in batches.
Director Song, I have already arranged a top-floor luxury apartment for your house. You can move in directly now.”
Song Tiantian was also very happy. Although she had plenty of energy ore in her space, it was better to get more.
Using energy stones as currency is a good idea.
Although energy stones are a bit large, everyone has a space, so there’s no need to worry too much about carrying them, as they can be stored in their Pet Beast Space.
The main thing is that counterfeiting currency is illegal.
Moreover, energy stones themselves have value. If the energy within them runs out, the energy stones will automatically disappear.
So it’s better to use energy stones as currency.
And with so many Secret Realms nearby, there are bound to be energy mineral veins inside, so they can mine ore later.
Song Tiantian expressed her support for teams going out to the wilderness to develop. Although an entry tax would be collected, your things can be stored in your space. As long as it fits in your space, no tax will be collected.
However, if your space cannot hold it, and you have your Pet Beasts carry piles of supplies in.
Then, it would be reasonable to collect taxes.
Furthermore, Song Tiantian set up the identity tokens such that they automatically become invalid one kilometer outside the city gate, and no more points can be obtained, regardless of how many Fierce Beasts are killed.
Because the Fierce Beast corpses killed at the city gate belong to Song Tiantian, Song Tiantian gives points.
However, the Fierce Beast corpses killed outside belong to the killer. If Song Tiantian were to give points again, it would be too much of a loss.
Song Tiantian then explained the rules of the identity tokens in detail to Song Ruyu.
And now, energy stones can be exchanged for points, and points can also be used to exchange for energy stones.
Hunted Fierce Beast corpses and Spiritual Plants can be exchanged for energy stones at the counter.
Originally, there weren’t enough energy stones, but now, Song Tiantian took more than half of the energy stones from Song Ruyu, and now there are just enough energy stones to get by.
When Song Tiantian announced that energy stones would replace the new currency.
Basically, many people voluntarily exchanged their valuable things at home for energy stones.
Even children knew that energy stones were good things.
As long as one is a Beast Tamer, energy stones are needed, so there’s no fear of being stuck with energy stones.
And now that everyone has no internet, it’s unknown how long it will take to repair the network.
Everyone has suffered losses and been deceived, and now they all feel that using energy stones as currency is a very good choice.
In the Pet Beast Space, whether planting vegetables or Spiritual Plants, energy stones are needed. At this time, everyone has automatically evolved into master planters.
After all, the vast Qingshan City, just like that, disappeared.
Such big news spread like wildfire throughout the Pet Beast Center.
