Chapter 198: Identity Token Upgrade
In reality, the public’s reaction speed and acceptance are very fast.
The street vendors quickly set up again.
Fragrant roasted meat, steaming stir-fried noodles, and sweet and delicious juice!
These filled an entire street.
It was not far from the city gate.
There were many security guards here, everyone had received their wages, and it was fine to break some energy stones to buy things.
Besides energy stones, there was also Pet Beast Food, unopened. These were also hard currency and could be spent like money.
Of course, besides these, points could also be spent. Song Tiantian had provided four machines for deducting fines, and these machines were placed at the four city gates, guarded by dedicated personnel.
Those who wanted to eat snacks but had points could swipe their cards here.
The street vendors registered their stalls here, and then the System would keep accounts. After the evening market ended, accounts would be settled uniformly, and after calculating the total income, energy stones would be paid uniformly.
Song Tiantian did not choose to give points.
Because the currency system had collapsed once, it was better to give energy stones, which were valuable in themselves, so the public could feel more at ease.
Scarcity makes things precious.
Because Song Tiantian did not abuse points, people instead felt that points were precious.
Moreover, Song Tiantian had the System work overtime to perform an upgrade. As long as one brought their Identity Token to the central service station to upgrade it, then by injecting Spiritual Power, one could see the balance of their point card.
Furthermore, in the future, if an Identity Token was lost, if one had many points, they could spend more energy stones to get a replacement.
In the future, spending points would require the use of Spiritual Power for consumption.
This was mainly to ensure the security of the Identity Token. If it was lost, only one’s own Spiritual Power could unlock the Identity Token; others’ Spiritual Power could not.
These sets of combined moves greatly improved the security of the Identity Token and also put people’s minds at ease, so they didn’t have to worry about being overcharged.
The Identity Token had no extra functions. Injecting Spiritual Power would display the name and point balance.
Simple and unpretentious.
The System also wanted to create a lottery and make the Identity Token like a mobile phone, but Song Tiantian refused.
With so many people, the System would definitely not be able to handle the load. It was enough to have this most basic function.
Each person’s small amount of Spiritual Power, when gathered together, became a very immense force.
The System’s life was incredibly good now. Not only was a large amount of pure Mental Power fed to it, but a large amount of Spiritual Power was also injected into its body. The amount was small, but it couldn’t withstand the sheer number of people!
In fact, this Identity Token could still be used even if it was taken outside the Pet Beast Center.
However, the System followed Song Tiantian’s instructions. Beyond the scope of the Pet Beast Center, it would lose contact and no longer communicate with these Identity Tokens.
These Identity Tokens were all made by it using Mental Power, equivalent to a flexible surveillance device.
As long as one possessed an Identity Token and wore it, the System could eavesdrop on everyone’s conversations.
Who was dissatisfied with Song Tiantian, it even compiled a booklet.
Before, the Identity Tokens were not registered by real names, so it couldn’t remember who was speaking ill of her. There were too many people, and even if it said who it was, Song Tiantian wouldn’t know.
Now it was better. Most people were registered by real names, so it could record their names.
There was still a very small portion that was not registered by real names, but it wasn’t a big problem. Those without real names were key monitored. Once a problematic person was found, the System would assign them a number.
The System conducted regular checks every day.
The System couldn’t understand why, even though these people were being monitored, they still lined up to register.
The previous Ghosts were too stupid.
Look how good this is. They just changed the name to “upgrade,” and everyone rushed to upgrade, not realizing how inconvenient the upgrade was.
The previous Identity Tokens could be used without Spiritual Power, and anyone could use them without any restrictions.
Now it was changed to require Spiritual Power and was restricted to one person, but these people all felt it was a great improvement.
The reason was that these people were willingly lining up, and Song Tiantian didn’t need to send anyone to force them.
The System previously thought that no one would go for the upgrade, and only suckers would.
But it had underestimated human nature.
However, this Identity Token also had one benefit: if a Ghost invasion was detected, the System would discover it immediately.
Under normal circumstances, this was also equivalent to a protective charm, because by wearing this Identity Token, other Spiritual Seeds in West Mountain would mistake them for the System’s prey.
Those Spiritual Seeds generally did not touch the prey of other Spiritual Seeds.
So, they would usually let these people go.
The System, not wanting to waste the Mental Power it couldn’t consume daily, used it to make blank Identity Tokens.
What if suddenly another hundred thousand people arrived, and it had no Identity Tokens left?
The Identity Tokens it had accumulated before, it thought it would never run out, but then so many people suddenly arrived, and they were all distributed at once.
Now it’s still not enough; there are still many people in the Pet Beast Center without Identity Tokens.
Every day, people come to register and make appointments for Identity Tokens.
Everyone who works at the Pet Beast Center gets their Identity Token made for free.
Those without jobs have to pay.
The people brought by Song Ruyu, the Enforcement Team members, were basically not working and instead made their own Identity Tokens.
Then they hunted Fierce Beasts near the city gate. As long as they injected Spiritual Power and saw the Identity Token light up, they could confirm that the Fierce Beasts killed here were worth points.
And one kilometer was not far, visible to the naked eye. If Song Tiantian collected the Fierce Beast Corpses, they were collected.
However, Song Tiantian had now implemented another reform: picking up Fierce Beast Corpses also earned points.
It was just a relatively small amount.
Some people calculated that with both combined, Song Tiantian basically didn’t make any money, because selling a whole Fierce Beast was about the same price.
Song Tiantian arranged it this way because picking up Fierce Beast Corpses was also not safe. Arranging people to pick them up and calculating them by piece also required points. It was better to divide these points equally among everyone. Anyone could do this job, depending on whether they were willing.
She only needed to arrange people to be responsible for registration and recording at the city gate.
Then these Fierce Beast Corpses would be transported to the factory for processing.
In this process, she didn’t earn much, but those people obtained points. Points couldn’t be spent elsewhere, only to purchase items from her.
This was equivalent to self-production and self-sale.
As a middleman, she could still earn a little, just not much.
Currently, the best-selling items are Pet Beast Food and the Cold Fragrance series of Potions.
Big White’s feces are already becoming insufficient, and Cold Fragrance Number Three can only be sold in limited quantities daily.
Song Tiantian had accumulated so much before, and it was all sold out.
The raw materials for Cold Fragrance Number Four are relatively easier to obtain. Currently, only Cold Fragrance Number Four, Cold Fragrance Number One, and Cold Fragrance Number Two have not run out of stock.
