My Cell Prison

Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Exchange

Translator: 549690339

“Copper ore? Why not just exchange it for pure copper, isn’t the price of pure copper quite high?”

“Hmm… pure copper is a metal material, and its price is 50 times higher! By taking the copper ore back for smelting, you can get the most metal and also have high variability.

Moreover, most of the copper we currently use is mainly for building city walls, constructing secret defenses, or expanding the Holy City.

A city wall only needs 50% copper content to isolate ‘life outside the city’, so there’s no need to use pure copper… On the contrary, by integrating other metals or special stones on the basis of 50%, the hardness and toughness of the city walls can be greatly increased.”

“Smelting technology…sounds quite advanced.”

“In the Holy City, there’s a dedicated alchemy team. Smelting metal is not difficult.”

“Alchemy…” This was the second time Han Dong heard of this term. If he returns to school this time and Mr. Black White has no special arrangements this semester, Han Dong plans to get involved in some side business during his free time.”

After all, Han Dong is not like a common Apprentice Knight.”

Other than the demand for food, clothing, housing, and transportation, he needs extra income to maintain this ‘special head’.”

Of course, Han Dong is also very interested in this world’s unique science.”

Apart from dungeon hunting, having a hobby to relax a bit is nice.”

“Is this the difference in returns brought by different difficulties?

Replacing the brass, I still have thirty points left to exchange… let’s first see what’s available.”

Furthermore, Han Dong had a doubt.”

That is, if one uses all the points to exchange for brass, and then takes it to the Holy City to directly use as currency, would it work? This would be a huge sum of money.”

But, Cass quickly denied it.”

“Brass and copper coins are different.

The value of a copper coin is much higher than its copper content. As a form of circulating currency, copper coins are produced and issued by the [Holy City Treasury] under the council.

Because copper metal is of great significance to the Holy City,

Using copper coins as high-grade circulating currency also serves as an indirect reminder to the citizens of the ‘importance of brass’… In fact, not much brass is used in the production of copper coins.

The copper content of a copper coin is controlled at around 30%, and the total weight of the copper coin is not high.

The monetary value of copper coin is realized by special manufacturing techniques and the stamping of unforgeable seals on both sides of the coin.”

“I see!” Han Dong nodded his head.”

Cass continued: “Moreover, even if we take the brass back and exchange it for a lot of money… the tools provided by the [Trading Centre] are limited.

In the Fate Space, points can be exchanged for anything.

Yes… anything, as long as you have enough points, you can exchange for it.

Moreover, only those who survive in the Fate events can come here once!

With only half an hour of exchange time each time, the opportunity is extremely precious… For people like us who have made preparations in advance, we can exchange for the most suitable items if we manage to survive.”

Han Dong followed Cass’s guidance and stretched his hand to touch the surface of something similar to the Dyson Sphere shell.

A three-dimensional projection screen was cast in the air, divided into six major categories.

[Equipment]

[Books]

[Living Creatures]

[Consumables]

[Materials]

[Others]

When Han Dong saw such a high-tech projection screen, he further affirmed that this thing resembling a Dyson Sphere was definitely not a product of the current world.”

This also led Han Dong to speculate about the origin of the Fate Space.”

“Was it a tool left in advance by some future high civilization who glimpsed the horror of ‘life outside the city’ and the potential danger? I’ll ask Mr. Black White when I get back… Guessing here randomly serves no purpose.”

First, get the brass using the 10 points to acquire one ton of brass to fulfill his obligation.

Next, as there were only thirty minutes left, Han Dong began to quickly look through the relevant categories.

Indeed, as Cass said, one could almost exchange for anything here. Once you clicked open the [Equipment] tab, you had to go through the filter of quality, category (weapons, helmets, hands, etc.).

The corresponding equipment is arranged from low to high price points, leaving Han Dong dazzled.

The price of a piece of green high-quality equipment is roughly between 20~60 points.

While a piece of blue fine equipment, the price is at least in the three-digit range.

Expensive… it must be really expensive.”

Doing the math, Han Dong, who is an apprentice knight, has to successfully pass through three Fate Spaces to have enough points to exchange for blue equipment… Of course, there might be some special reward events in the Fate Space that would give point rewards.”

But the good thing is,

The various side stories of Fate events, with their equipment rewards, are basically random.”

But here, as long as you have enough points, you can exchange for the equipment that suits you best…

Han Dong then clicked on the category [Books], which was a category he was unclear about.

It contains various magical books, secret books, even a Book of Demons, from which you can obtain the power of demons.”

Then,

Han Dong also stumbled upon some interesting things, belonging to his own country’s cultural martial arts and even Cultivation Secrets which only appear in some novels.”

The price of basic martial arts is not high, you can probably buy it for 20 points.

As for the cultivation secrets, the cheapest one starts at five hundred points, and the quality is blue or above … for now, Han Dong decided not to consider it.”

Although Han Dong’s physical condition is not ideal, he doesn’t plan to buy a body cultivation book to train his body. His body merely needs to be gradually replaced to be enhanced; there is no need for him to train himself.”

Moreover, Han Dong currently has a ‘cryptic and abstruse’ book with him now, and he has no time to study other knowledge for the time being.”

The[Living Creatures]section is one that Han Dong places great importance on.

Inside, one could search for numerous strange creatures.

Aside from humans,

Practically all sorts of magical and fantastical creatures are available… All kinds of magic beasts, small to molten rock dogs and wind wolves similar in size to ordinary dogs, to Dragons, Behemoth Beasts, Giant Sea Monsters, they have them all.

Of course, there are also many humanoid races… such as elves, trolls, half-body orcs, mechanism lives, etc.”

These humanoid lives not only cost a lot but are also limited in purchase (you need to reach the seed germination, to reach the knight stage, to buy such humanoid lives).

Some ‘Control Type’ apprentice knights might exchange for living creatures here.”

Han Dong stared at these high-priced living creatures without any interest… If he wanted them, he could just go to the ‘Fate Space’ and capture them himself.”

Chen Li and Togu, in terms of potential, were in no way inferior to these creatures.”

As for the subsequent consumables and materials, there were also many things that Han Dong was interested in, such as potions for life and death, human flesh and bones, or energy replenishing potions that could instantly fill up energy, enough to solve many problems, but the price was also not something Han Dong could currently afford.”

For the time being, Han Dong didn’t have a clear idea, and the 30 points might not get him anything too good, so he planned to keep them for the next time.”

And so,

Han Dong, who exchanged for a ton of copper ore, returned to the [Bell Tower].
