There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 478, Credit Coin
A massive rescue operation has begun.

[Saving Player Gao Bo]

A post like this was pinned and highlighted.

[The battle was awesome! The Taoist class and this hidden storyline shouldn't be monopolized by your Extraordinary Affairs Bureau!]

[Climbing trees and slacking off: I'm not interested in anything else, but I really want this real dungeon! It really lets you cultivate immortality!]

[Li Jun, Extraordinary Bureau: The allocation can be postponed; the most important thing now is the rescue.]

[Li Jun, Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs: This incident has a hidden plot, which seems to involve a god.]

[Li Jun, Extraordinary Bureau: Everyone, don't forget that the real instance is based in our world. The resurgence of a god within it carries risks that no one can guarantee.]

[Li Jun, Extraordinary Administration Bureau: Extraordinary Administration Bureau cannot tolerate such a thing happening. All the players around Shengjing are moving towards Gao Bo's location. If any friends want to participate in this dungeon, we will not stop them.]

All rewards from this hidden storyline will be distributed according to one principle: "the size of the contribution."

These words set the tone for this chaotic post.

Li Jun keenly perceived the core issue in this major incident triggered by Gao Bo.

"The Yellow Heaven descends."

Realizing this, he abandoned his ongoing mission and headed directly towards Shengjing.

He was lucky; he was relatively close by.

In the current wave of declining games, the Extraordinary Management Bureau is indeed a giant.

With Li Jun's statement.

[Climbing a tree to fish: Received! I'm heading to the battlefield!]

[The battle is so exhilarating! I believe you! Count me in for this epic show!]

In an instant, a flood of messages appeared under the post.

This is considered the second major event in the real-life version of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio.

The first major operation, the battle to subdue the Black Mountain Demon, yielded results that circulated on the forums afterward. The milestone rewards were enough to make the eyes of countless people who knew about it slightly envious.

"I just regret that I wasn't one of those four lucky ones."

Now, the same thing is happening again.

"Another major event."

Naturally, they didn't want to miss it, and this major event had even more advantages for players than the Black Mountain Demon Extermination War.

Shengjing itself was an important activity area where a large number of players of Liaozhai gathered.

The street beggars with disheveled hair, the city's newly rich, the wandering swordsmen, and even a solemn-looking stragglers—all these rabble-minded fellows were heading towards the center of Shengjing, towards the place where the ornately decorated mansions of the wealthy and powerful gathered.

Such a display caught the attention of the emperor deep within the palace.

But as soon as they looked down, they saw the spies, big and small, bustling about, and for a moment they couldn't figure out why these seemingly unrelated people were gathering and surging together.

"It's confusing."

Of course, it wasn't just the emperor in the inner palace who felt lost in this ambiguous world.

Before something big is about to happen, there are always some strange signs that appear.

The World Will of 33214 has been keeping a close eye on the development of the Real Dungeon.

Xiao Yang granted Him the authority, which He treasured, and He kept a close eye on the changes and developments in the world of Liaozhai.

However, as the will of the world, its way of perceiving is naturally not the same as that of the players.

As I watched, a strange ripple flashed by, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.

But when they came to their senses, they could no longer find the pebble that had caused the ripples.

"I have no idea what to do with it."

This young and immature world has become somewhat confused.

Faced with this situation, a thought unconsciously arose in my mind.

Should one summon their overly powerful child?

The thought arose, but was quickly dismissed.

He was really afraid of Xiao Yang.

Not surprisingly.

After all, consider the source of Xiao Yang's power and his overly exaggerated divine demeanor.

Putting aside other factors, Xiao Yang could probably proudly proclaim something like this just based on the pollution index alone.

"Beyond 99.9% of evil gods!"

Out of instinctive fear, she didn't dare to communicate much with Xiao Yang.

How can I describe this feeling?

Just like the pale hand to Xiao Yang.

"Very complicated."

In this complex situation, Xiao Yang was not informed in advance of what was happening.

What is Xiao Yang doing right now?

He was still wielding his warhammer on the front lines.

………….

Amidst a flurry of bloody blows.

Xiao Yang was surrounded by piles of large-mouthed, fleshy corpses.

The large flatbed cart had already been pulled to our side.

A hunched-over middle-aged man smiled ingratiatingly at Xiao Yang.

This is a cleaner hired by Xiao Yang. He can help Xiao Yang transport these spoils of war back to the rear.

"Master, master, I'll do it!"

This time, Xiao Yang's persona is that of a serious, wandering knight.

He nodded coldly and profoundly, without saying a word.

Soon, the large meatballs were loaded onto the cart.

"It's incredibly powerful."

"When will little Jarl be this good?!"

"Don't even mention someone as powerful as this gentleman; even if someone were half as skilled, that would still be extraordinary!"

After loading all the monster corpses onto the cart, during a break from work, the hunchbacked Jarl secretly glanced at the figure in front of him, thinking to himself.

After doing all this, he was about to drive away when Xiao Yang waved to him.

After several days of fighting, fewer and fewer monsters are coming from this area, so it's time to take a break.

Xiao Yang decided to observe the process of recovering monster corpses.

Soon after, Xiao Yang boarded the swaying ox-drawn cart.

He maintained his aloofness.

There's a sense of ritual, like you're playing a role.

But Jarl couldn't stop himself from talking.

For some reason, he started introducing his precious cow with great pride.

"Master, you have no idea how I went from being an ordinary farmer to a qualified street cleaner, all thanks to my precious magic bull!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yang turned his gaze to the strange ox pulling the cart in front of him.

After the Great Exploration began, the introduction of various animals never stopped.

The rotten land is now virtually devoid of any normal animals.

Even some of the later-introduced elements underwent strange changes.

It's like transforming from an ordinary animal into a monster, only the transformation is closer to the style of the Rotten Lands, like the one in front of you.

A gaunt body, scales spreading across its skin, and a third horn growing from its head.

After such a transformation, in the normal world, it would definitely be a source of pollution, something that needs to be eliminated immediately. But in the rotten land, it can only be considered average.

"It can even be used for plowing."

"My old buddy has gotten stronger and eats more. Farming alone can't support him anymore, but he's perfect for hauling goods!"

At this point, the ox pulling the cart even shook its head and mooed.

Regarding Old Jarl's unstoppable chatter.

Xiao Yang did not reply.

She simply sat upright on the swaying oxcart, listening attentively to his rambling.

Besides the bull that he was so proud of, his grandson was the one he mentioned most often.

A kind-hearted boy who had just started his extraordinary introductory class.

The Extraordinary Enlightenment Class is a new semi-welfare measure launched by Xiao Yang after research with Lena.

The extraordinary truly permeates the decaying land.

They are wealthy enough to corrupt ordinary animals and transform them into special, demonic creatures.

Even a portion of the power sequence is diffused throughout this world. Pursuing transcendence here is an easy thing.

There is just one problem.

"The power they gained was more or less related to evil gods."

Getting too close to evil gods is not a good thing.

Compared to players like Survivors and Tidebreakers who use strange contamination as the foundation of their power, Xiao Yang prefers more traditional approaches.

The Extraordinary Enlightenment Class is a place that teaches and guides young boys onto the traditional path of extraordinary learning.

The course lasts one year and costs one Hope Silver Coin. Currently, it teaches the basics of three professions.

"Warriors, archers, spearmen."

Unfortunately, it's not the true beginner's trio of "warrior, ranger, and mage".

The main difference is the environment and the needs.

Xiao Yang initially wanted to expand into a genuine vocational college, but unfortunately, he lacked sufficient manpower and the conditions were not suitable.

The Extraordinary Enlightenment Program cultivates reserve forces for the city defense army and the Salvation Army, existing in a semi-welfare manner and as a quick-fix strategy.

"Warrior, a jack-of-all-trades. After graduation, you can directly join the Salvation Army, or join the City Defense Army, or join one of the many pioneer squads. The future is bright."

"Archers are versatile. After graduation, they can directly join the Salvation Army, or the City Defense Army, or join one of the many pioneer squads. Their future is bright."

"Spearmen are versatile. After graduation, they can directly join the Salvation Army or the city defense army. They have a bright future."

Due to circumstances.

But even this basic extraordinary training has excited many people.

"Extraordinary qualities are very precious."

Now, in the cities under the jurisdiction of City of Hope, such a measure that can train people to complete their employment only requires a silver coin.

Aside from the survivors, Xiao Yang's faith spread most rapidly among the displaced farmers during this period.

Because of these measures.

This old man, who looked to be in his seventies or eighties but was actually only in his early forties and whose grandchildren were not young, was extremely excited because of the appearance of the Extraordinary Enlightenment Class.

"When little Jarl graduates, he'll be able to become a warrior master too. It's really hard to imagine!"

Such excited murmurs.

"I need to earn more money so I can at least get a set of equipment for little Jarl before he graduates! He's the pride of our family!"

In such words.

Xiao Yang inexplicably fell silent.

He knew what he would likely face after joining the Salvation Army.

Suddenly.

Old Jar asked Xiao Yang a rather strange question.

"Sir, someone as capable as you should know more!"

This question puzzled Xiao Yang.

Remaining cold and indifferent.

After a moment of silence, the second half of the speech began.

Do you know what that great hero's name is?

Why are you asking this question?

"Some people want to know His name."

"do not know."

"You didn't know either? That's such a pity, considering how great His Majesty is."

………….

"Lishi City".

The name comes from the small, sharp stones that can be found everywhere in this wilderness.

It was recently upgraded from a pioneering town to a formal pioneering city.

Vast fields surround the city.

The start of the war made this place, as a frontline city, much quieter.

However, with the end of the war and the continuation of outward expansion, this place, as the forefront of this expansion, gradually prospered as people flocked in.

In front of a towering building that stands out from the crowd in the city.

[The Monster Procurement Department under the City of Hope]

"This is also my own business."

Xiao Yang replaced a large number of corpses of the Big Mouth Meatballs with a batch of special coins issued by the City of Hope.

It filled a small bag completely, bulging and full.

Is this considered taking advantage of oneself?

Think so.

He took out a gold coin with a hint of purple from his pocket.

This is currently the largest denomination currency issued by City of Hope.

"The City of Hope, in conjunction with the gods of the lost homeland, issues a credit currency: gold coins."

The name is a bit long.

To simplify, here's what most people call it.

"Hope Gold Coins".

There is another name that circulates among workshop owners and mages.

"Magic Gold Coins".

Ninety-eight percent of it is gold, and the remaining two percent is abyssal metal.

The two percent abyssal metal is the origin of the name of this demon gold coin.

The abyssal metals that Xiao Yang obtained from the Star Fortress were not directly released into the market for mages and magic energy workshop owners to purchase, but were instead melted down in large quantities and turned into currency.

"Credit gold coins, credit silver coins, credit bronze coins."

All three are abyssal metals that have been partially smelted.

Before this batch of credit coins was issued, City of Hope had tried issuing currency before, but none of them were very successful and received a lukewarm response.

Until the addition of Abyssal Metal.

The amount of abyssal metal used is not large, but it is a necessity. At the same time, there is no direct passage to the bottomless abyss in this entire world.

Even within this vast world domain, there is no way to directly communicate with the Bottomless Abyss.

Perhaps even the bottomless abyss is afraid of eating feces.

This made the batch of abyssal metal in Xiao Yang's possession an extremely scarce commodity.

Instead of releasing them directly into the market, it's a pretty good idea to incorporate them into the monetary process.

This did not stop the development of the Magic Energy Industry in the City of Hope.

After all, compared to directly entering the market for bidding, these scarce magical metals are now much easier to obtain.

"It only costs some money."

This immediately increased the demand for and scarcity of currency.

This plan was proposed by Lena, and it must be said that Lena is truly a genius in management and operation.

Hold the purple-gold coin in your hand and raise it.

Xiao Yang actually had another name for the thing in his hand.

"Credit Coin".

The obverse side of the coin.

"It has Xiao Yang's big head printed on it."

The reverse side of the coin.

"A silhouette of the city of hope."

He also got to enjoy the privilege of having his portrait printed on currency.

Instead of putting the gold coin in his bag, he flicked it toward the obsequious, smiling figure waiting to the side.

"Oh, sir! Too much! Two silver coins are enough!"

"Give little Jarl a better sword."

After saying all this, he disappeared into the city.

Old Jarl's attempts to persuade him to stay were futile.

Looking at the purple-gold coin in his hand, he couldn't resist taking a bite, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

"This gentleman is a good person!"
