Although Long Dou had been using the system to make purchases, there was one thing he didn't understand, and that was the nature of currency.
However, this issue is indeed a bit complicated, and it involves a lot of messy content.
In essence, currency is a special commodity that serves as a general equivalent, a tool used as a medium of exchange, a store of value, and a unit of accounting. It is a material and symbolic appendage of people's commodity values.
Therefore, if viewed from this perspective, the currency itself issued by the state has no value.
In other words, whether it is one yuan, one hundred yuan, ten thousand yuan, one hundred million yuan or one trillion yuan, the country can issue as much currency as it likes, and the number itself is just a number and does not represent any actual value.
What really makes a currency valuable is the gross product of the country that issues the currency, as well as extremely complex factors such as national strength endorsement and national credit. It would be boring to explain them one by one.
Yongji herself is not an expert in economics, but one thing she knows very well is that her so-called "krypton gold system" actually has serious loopholes.
First of all, in the black technology system owned by Long Dou and Yong Ji, all transactions are completed using the currency of their current country.
And the price of the commodity used for trading is set from the beginning, and there will be no fluctuations in the later period.
For example, a skill book sells for 1 million, a high-tech gun sells for 10 million, a super body armor sells for 100 million, or a monster-level skill like "Alien's one-hit killing technique" sells for 1 trillion Billions and so on.
How much these things cost is how much they cost, that's how honest they are.
But the problem is that the system only determines how much money the buyer has consumed, but not how much purchasing power the money has at this moment.
A simple example is if the Bank of Japan issued one trillion currency at a time and let it flow into the market.
Then these currencies will cause the amount of currency in circulation in a country to be greater than the total effective economic aggregate of the country, causing the prices of all goods to skyrocket.
Before the issuance of this trillion in currency, a piece of Chinese cabbage might cost one hundred yuan.
After the issuance, a piece of Chinese cabbage may be sold for 100 million yuan.
So at this time, although people seem to have more money on hand, their purchasing power has not changed, or even declined.
The result of this is that more money can only buy less things. This is the principle of "inflation".
But very fortunately, this situation has nothing to do with the goods in the "Krypton Gold Mall".
A systematic mall can be seen as an ideal supermarket that will never experience inflation, prices will always be constant, and goods will always have a stable supply.
No matter how much money Long Dou has on hand, he can use the money to purchase items in the "Krypton Gold Mall".
When a Chinese cabbage sells for 100 yuan, an airplane in the mall sells for 100 million yuan.
When a Chinese cabbage sells for 100 million yuan, an airplane in the mall still sells for 100 million yuan.
Considering this, and in addition, Mizue now has control over the Bank of Japan, which is responsible for issuing currency, and can control the face value and quantity of currency at will.
So Yong Ji came up with this method that sounded very nonsense at first glance and directly issued "one trillion" currency.
After this "one trillion" currency is issued, no matter whether it has purchasing power or not, as long as it is in the hands of Long Dou and Yong Ji, the system will recognize it.
In other words, two people can use almost worthless currency to exchange for valuable living things in the system.
"I see. You can still play like this. It's like a free whoring system!"
After hearing Yongji's explanation, Long Dou suddenly slapped his forehead, and for a moment he couldn't help but feel that his eyes were opened.
When he used the system before, he only thought about equal exchange. How much money he gave to the system, the system would give him as much as he wanted.
Unexpectedly, this woman Yong Ji had no intention of exchanging money with the system. She even planned to have sex for nothing.
If there are no loopholes in Yongji's gameplay, then in the future this "Krypton Gold Mall" will become a permanent zero-yuan shopping supermarket for the two of them.
After all, with the right to mint money, Ruihui can buy whatever they want as long as they frantically issue short currency that has no actual value and is exclusively used by Long Dou and Yong Ji.
This kind of currency can have the amount of "one trillion" printed on it, and the zeros at the back of the banknote are more than his meow coins.
Such an outrageous currency cannot be used in the normal market. It will only be regarded as a lunatic to cause trouble, but it can be used in the system.
Although this currency sounds nonsense, this currency comes from formal channels. It is a currency recognized by the system, and you can buy it normally in the "Krypton Gold Mall".
So if you think about it from this perspective, the one trillion yuan "special one-hit killing technique for aliens" is simply for nothing! Even the entire Krypton Gold Mall is for free!
Good guy, this woman's mind is indeed abnormal.
Thinking of this, Long Dou couldn't help but sigh deeply, and felt great admiration for Yong Ji's imagination.
Can an ordinary time traveler do this kind of thing by playing with the currency to cheat the system
It couldn't be done, at least Long Dou himself couldn't come up with such a shameless trick. It was simply not the work of a human being.
System, my poor, conscientious system.
From the birth of every protagonist who travels with the system, everyone has regarded the system as a god.
However, in the eyes of this woman Yong Ji, there has never been any god in the world.
Because she, the sixth demon, is still the god of this world.
In this way, after Yong Ji's strategy was decided, Ruihui immediately carried out this "system white prostitution operation" according to the plan she was involved in.
First, Mizue approached the Bank of Japan, which is responsible for issuing currency. Although most of the bank's functions have ceased, it still has the power to issue currency.
However, when hearing this adult's request, the person in charge of the bank was obviously stunned for a moment.
"Lord Rui Ruihui? What is your request?"
"One trillion. In short, you just produce such a banknote and put it into the normal issuance sequence. You don't need to worry about the rest."
".yes."
Although I don’t know what these big shots want to do, the person in charge of the Bank of Japan can only do as they are told.
After all, this country is now the territory of Rui Hui and Yong Ji, and the two of them are basically in a position where they can cover the sky with their second hand.
But because the bank did not have such a strange banknote template, they had to start designing, making molds, and printing overnight. Two days later, this banknote with an unknown number of zeros printed on the back was finally released.
A good start.
After holding the banknote in his hand, Long Dou swallowed his saliva and then clicked on his personal attributes page.
Sure enough, when he held this banknote, Long Dou's personal assets were displayed as "one trillion and fourty-seven billion yuan."
This amount can be said to be extremely confusing, and it does not look like a normal unit of measurement at all.
But even so, Long Dou quickly opened the skill mall and found the most expensive skill in it, which seemed to have no intention of being purchased at all, "a one-hit killing technique for aliens."
[Purchasing the "one-hit killing technique for aliens" requires "one trillion yuan", are you sure to pay?]
confirm payment.
Just when Long Dou clicked on the word "yes" on the screen, he felt his heart skip a beat.
But fortunately, after clicking, the large amount of "money" in his personal assets was instantly emptied, and there was a strange skill with a long name in the skill column.
"A one-hit killing technique specially designed for aliens". After being learned, aliens that descend on the earth can be killed with one hit.
"How's it going? Have you bought it?"
Seeing Long Dou looking at his hands, Yong Ji on the side asked with a smile.
"Yeah, but this skill seems... very strange."
After nodding, Long Dou pointed directly at the wall next to him, and a light that looked like a translucent square shot out from his fingertips.
This scene looked like shooting a laser with your finger, but the light condensed by the translucent squares did not cause any damage to the wall after it was emitted.
Very strange, very strange.
As described on the skill, this skill is probably a special skill for aliens.
In addition, even an ant cannot be killed. It is simply unreasonable to sell it at such a high price.
But if there are really aliens in front of us at this time, then the meaning of this skill will be different.
"The orangutan seems to be in the Pacific Ocean. I'll go meet it."
After confirming that he had obtained this special skill, Long Dou looked up at the sea in the distance.
His world seemed to be looking across the coast, looking at the figure that was flying towards this side at high speed, thousands of kilometers away.
Indeed, this kind of thing is somewhat strange to say.
Flying directly across the Pacific Ocean towards Asia from the Americas, where Amerikan is located, it is hard to imagine that a living creature could do this.
After all, the Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean in the world, accounting for about one-third of the earth's total area, and its east-west length is nearly 20,000 kilometers.
Even the strongest bird or fish cannot fly across such a long area.
Of course, from a certain perspective, the alien creature is not flying this way, but running this way.
Yes, running.
It is running crazily on this endless sea, interpreting the words "running with the wind and freedom is the direction" with its strength.
If you look towards the middle of the Pacific Ocean through satellite monitoring at this time, you will not be able to see the figure running wildly with the storm and tsunami.
On the surface, the red muscular orangutan is not much different from the ordinary orangutan, but it looks stronger.
But at this time, it was swinging its slender arms and running at high speed directly on the sea.
Sea water cannot relay water. Logically speaking, it should sink to the bottom of the sea when you step on it.
But this orangutan was running too fast, too fast.
This guy actually picked up the other foot and moved forward before one foot sank, and continued this running process over and over again, so that he would not fall into the sea at all.
Judging from the few surveillance cameras, this alien monster is running at an astonishing speed of several hundred meters per second, faster than a supersonic aircraft!
Blah, blah, blah!
At this super speed, this alien monster ran crazily on the sea.
And around it, tornadoes that swept across the sky were constantly being generated, and tsunamis were constantly coming from the sea below!
Single-handedly, he was able to create this level of change.
Even if he just saw the monkey's silhouette all the way away, Long Dou couldn't help but sigh that this guy was definitely not an enemy that humans could fight against.
"Master Long Longdou? Do you want to get closer again? It's already very dangerous?"
While Long Dou was observing the orangutan's actions from a distance, the supersonic jet pilot sitting in front said in a trembling tone.
Before this, many countries had sent special teams to observe this orangutan, but after being discovered, almost all of them were shot down on the spot.
Anyone who comes close within a radius of 10,000 meters will die without a burial place.
Although the alien monster said nothing, its actions clearly carried out these words.
After hearing the driver's words, Long Dou nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Okay, you go back first, and leave the rest to me."
"Ah? Shall I go back first? What about you?"
Before he finished speaking, Long Dou actually opened the cockpit door of this supersonic jet! He rushed directly towards the sea below!
What!
When he saw what he did, the driver was so frightened that his scalp went numb!
At the same time, Long Dou, who was descending from an altitude of several thousand meters, took a deep breath and shouted into the distance: "Hey! Stinky monkey! Get over here!"
When he took this breath, Long Dou's entire body seemed to expand, and his voice was like a huge sonic bomb blasting towards the alien monster that was running crazily not far away!
Although he didn't understand what the guy was saying at all, the alien monster obviously understood the provocative meaning in this sentence.
Um
So at that moment, its eyes, which exuded a bright red luster, as if they were continuously filled with blood, suddenly glanced at the tiny human being not far away, and immediately made a sharp turn and rushed towards this side!
Fast, it is no longer as simple as fast.
The distance between the two sides was originally more than a thousand meters, but before Long Dou's body landed, a red light rushed directly towards his body. It was almost too late for anyone to react!
But fortunately, Long Dou had already been prepared for its speed, and with the power of "LV5 Insight", he could roughly grasp the guy's movements.
Smelly monkey. Go to hell.
The last moment when the alien monster was about to open its bloody mouth and swallow Long Dou's entire body into its belly.
Long Dou had already pointed his finger at its body and used the special skill he had just obtained, a one-hit killing technique for aliens.
