436: Chapter 430: Heaven and Earth Bank 436: Chapter 430: Heaven and Earth Bank “Overturning Water, make sure to add little Shuxin as a friend right now, you can’t just randomly delete her, she’s a beautiful maiden famed for her looks.
Give her some respect!
Others can’t even manage to friend her, but you, on the other hand, have no problem burning bridges.
Shuxin must have owed you something in her past life!”
“Nah, I wouldn’t wish to have known her in my past life.
Women like her are to be respected but kept at a distance!”
“I really don’t understand how things ended up like this between you two.
Nevermind, it just adds more worry.
By the way, Overturning Water, I’m planning a trip to Sinister Grave Ridge later, want to join me?”
“Nope, I’m busy.”
Su Ran rejected immediately.
He was only kidding; if he, who was already thinly spread, was going to visit Skeleton Village with him, how would the show go on?
As soon as he had spoken, Su Ran entered the Imperial City’s general goods store, buying a bundle of teleportation scrolls for one gold piece each.
“Whoosh!”
A flash of white light appeared, and Su Ran returned to his own village, Skeleton Village.
“I can only use the human race’s invention of teleportation scrolls, but with no side effects, it’s awfully convenient!”
Su Ran felt a sense of wonderment.
While the handsome young boy still hadn’t arrived, he headed towards the old beggar.
As for the matter of adding Shuxin as a friend, he had long since forgotten about it.
“Master, the Heaven and Earth Bank has been completed as you have commanded!”
The old beggar jogged up to meet him, and dutifully spoke to Su Ran.
“Old man, no need for formalities.
You’ve worked hard today, go and rest.
I’ll take a look around by myself.”
Su Ran spoke with a smile on his face, waving the old beggar away to do his own thing.
“Um…”
The old beggar extended his grimy palm a bit nervously towards Su Ran, subtly hinting at something.
Su Ran was taken aback, but soon understood.
This old man, despite being part of his territory, hadn’t changed his principal nature!
“Old man, look at my memory.
I almost nullified your hard work!
These gold coins are for you as a reward.
It’s not much, but maybe it’s a small token of my appreciation!”
After he finished speaking, Su Ran dug out a handful of gold coins from his waist and generously handed them to the old beggar.
“Master, what do you mean?
This type of currency isn’t used here, it’s as helpful as scrap metal in my belongings.
What could I do with it?”
The old beggar didn’t pay any attention to the glimmering coins in his hand and didn’t take them- quite the personality he had!
He shyly said to Su Ran, “Master, if you want to reward me, reward me in Underworld Coins.
If it’s Infinite Money, that would be even better.”
Oh my god!
Su Ran was stunned hearing these words.
These Underworld Coins had become a hot commodity in his village, to the point that even beggars insisted on them.
Looking ahead, after he took over the entire human race, gold coins could be phased out.
At that time, Underworld Coins would become the mainstream currency.
Wouldn’t the value of the graves in his territories skyrocket?
If the players used Underworld Coins to buy things, that would be truly amusing.
Of course, this was just Su Ran’s speculation.
How easy would it be to occupy the entire human race?!
“Old man, I was negligent.
I didn’t switch my mindset and actually insulted you with gold coins, I deserve to be punished!”
Su Ran stuffed those gold coins back, and then casually drew out ten Underworld Coins, handing them to the old beggar.
“Thank you, my lord!”
The old beggar’s eyes lit up as he accepted the Underworld Coins, clutching them tightly to his chest as if he had received a rare treasure.
He exaggerated his excitement.
Su Ran, seeing the old beggar’s appearance, was at a loss for words.
Alright, it seems he was already out of step with the times.
“Old man, would you like a high-quality coffin?
It can help keep out cold in winter and heat in summer, conducive for sleep.”
Su Ran tactfully asked.
Since the old beggar had adopted the local customs and could even accept Underworld Coins, his lifestyle also would start to change.
Sleeping in a coffin at night was becoming the norm.
“Uh, my Lord, feel free to take your time.
I have some chores to take care of, so I’ll leave first.”
Upon hearing the word ‘coffin,’ the color from the old beggar’s face drained instantly, and he scurried off as fast as if he were fleeing.
What was going on here?
Su Ran was puzzled.
Following that, Su Ran shifted his gaze towards the recently built Heaven and Earth Bank.
He realized that it was nothing like the human race’s Imperial City Bank– just a small square room.
It was covered with paper money and copper coins for the dead and there was no light inside.
Darkness shrouded the entire room in silence.
Against this frightful atmosphere, Su Ran couldn’t help but feel a cold chill.
What Heaven and Earth Bank?
The old beggar had just made a haunted house!
Su Ran strongly suspects that he had the wrong blueprint?!
“Who cares?
This is my territory, there’s nothing to be scared of!”
Su Ran steeled himself, took out his torch, and walked into the dim room.
“Welcome!”
Suddenly,
A creepy voice resonated, sounding particularly jarring in the quiet space, giving Su Ran a shock.
However, this voice sounded too familiar, and he had vivid memories of it—enough to immediately envision the appearance of this NPC.
“Mr.
Yin Si, your unexpected words could scare someone to death!”
Su Ran complained, then asked curiously, “Mr.
Yin Si, why aren’t you sleeping in your coffin?
What are you doing here?
And why aren’t there any lights on?
It’s super creepy.”
In Su Ran’s memory, this cunning merchant’s greatest hobby was sleeping.
“It’s all because you built a Heaven and Earth Bank, you whippersnapper.
I was happily sleeping and then suddenly got transported here.”
Yin Si in his black robe gave Su Ran a glance, his small eyes full of resentment.
“From now on, this is my place of work, and you better not come often to disturb my sleep!”
“And the reason I don’t light any lamps is obvious, have you ever seen anyone sleeping with the lights on?”
Um, does anyone play host like this?
If this was how he conducted business, it would be a surprise if he didn’t go bankrupt!
“Mr.
Yin Si, I just came to check out what kind of business the Heaven and Earth Bank conducts and how it’s different from the human race’s banks.”
Guided by the glow of the torch, Su Ran started to carefully inspect the room.
“Human race bank?”
Yin Si sneered dismissively and shook his head, then opened up the permissions, allowing Su Ran to see.
[Heaven and Earth Bank]
Ownership of this building enables the conversion of currencies between the living and the underworld.
2 gold coins in exchange for 1 underworld coin.
At first, Su Ran had high hopes, but his heart turned cold when he saw that there was only this one option.
He failed to understand why the cunning merchant Yin Si would look down on the human race bank.
They provided excellent service, had great attitudes, a nice decor, a large space, and most importantly, beautiful girls.
They even enabled the withdrawal of virtual money.
Compared to his newly built Heaven and Earth Bank, well, there was no comparison!
He didn’t understand where this cunning merchant’s confidence came from.
