High Martial Arts: Invincible Starts from Basic Archery novel Chapter 77

Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Perhaps, They Aren’t from the Li Family Stronghold?

The boundless wasteland occasionally echoed with the roars of beasts, making the travelers somewhat tense.

"Damn those Fierce Beasts!" someone cursed.

Ten years ago, they still lived peaceful lives, even though they toiled day and night for a living, they could at least sit down and have some beer and good food after a hard day’s work.

Now, staying alive itself is a luxury. You never know which will come first – tomorrow or disaster.

"Don’t worry, it will be light soon," Chen Guodong smiled and said, "When we reach Song Family Castle, we can trade for some food and salt, and a bit of money so everyone can buy something."

Hearing this, the crowd’s faces lit up with joy.

The few from Gu Family Stronghold looked at each other. Could it be that they would get a share too?

"Old Chen..."

Gu Jianghai hesitated to speak.

Chen Guodong waved his hand, indicating there was no need to say more. He had mentioned it to Chen Fan last night, and the latter had no objections, so his old brothers would certainly have no issues either.

This bit of benefit was what the Hunting Team deserved.

Walking at the back, Chen Fan overheard this and curiously asked Gu Ze, "Isn’t it true that at Song Family Castle, you can only use gold and silver, or barter? Can you also use money?"

Gu Ze was taken aback at first, then said oddly, "You haven’t been to Song Family Castle, have you? Besides gold and silver, and bartering, you can also use currency there. However, the currency from before the mutation can’t be used.

The current currency uses yuan as the unit and has denominations of one yuan, two yuan, five yuan, ten yuan, twenty yuan, fifty yuan, a hundred yuan, a thousand yuan, and ten thousand yuan, with ten thousand yuan being the highest."

Chen Fan was dumbfounded by what he heard.

This sounded so familiar?

But it was indeed a new currency unit; the previous unit was the sol.

"To honor the contributions of Awakeners over the past ten years, each denomination features a different Awakeners’ portrait on the back. For example, the largest denomination, ten thousand yuan, has the portrait of the Thunder Emperor on the back. The thousand-yuan note has the War Emperor, and so on.

If someone makes a greater contribution than the Thunder Emperor, perhaps there will be a hundred-thousand-yuan note with their portrait on the back."

"I see,"

Chen Fan nodded. It was indeed a good design. He then asked, "What is the purchasing power of one yuan?"

"You can buy a pound of the most ordinary rice,"

Gu Ze held up one finger.

Chen Fan nodded. A pound of the most ordinary Fierce Beast Meat cost three yuan per pound.

"How much does it take to buy a gram of gold?"

"There isn’t that much,"

Gu Ze shook his head. "A gold ring can usually trade for only several pounds of rice. A gold bracelet or gold necklace, slightly more, around a dozen or twenty pounds. After all, you can’t eat these things. Only when you are at your wit’s end will you trade them."

"I see,"

Chen Fan thought it was quite cheap but indeed had no use for it.

It’s like in the desert, where a bottle of water can sell for a sky-high price. It depends on the supply and demand.

"By the way, do you have anything in mind to buy when you get some money?" Gu Ze asked curiously.

"I’ll see what’s good when the time comes," Chen Fan shrugged.

Gu Ze responded with an "oh."

After walking for about half an hour, everyone quieted down, continuing to move forward.

Another hour passed.

"Come on, everyone, just another hour or so and we’ll be there,"

Chen Guodong turned around to encourage everyone.

But at that moment, a noise came from behind.

Instinctively, Chen Fan turned his head to look and was stunned.

A vehicle.

A large truck was driving towards them, not too fast but not too slow, catching up in a couple of minutes.

"It’s people from Zhao Family Castle,"

Liu Yong recognized immediately.
