Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot

"First of all, currency. Our base city has its own currency system. After all, with so many people and so many items needing to be traded, bartering would definitely be very troublesome..."

"Our currency is officially called ’Crystal Core Exchange Currency’, commonly known as Crystal Coin. As the name implies, Crystal Coins can be directly exchanged for Crystal Cores and are trusted by everyone!"

"The reason we don’t directly trade with Crystal Cores is that their quality, type, and level vary, which leads to significant price differences. Essentially, it’s still a form of bartering, which is quite cumbersome. But after converting various Crystal Cores into Crystal Coins according to their respective rates, trading becomes much easier..."

"But now there’s a problem—most Crystal Cores no longer have abilities, so Crystal Coins might collapse! Therefore, I personally suggest that you hold off on exchanging for Crystal Coins for the time being..."

Duan Xuchang first explained the currency system within the base city.

When Wang Tao heard the first part of the explanation, he was ready to exchange some currency, as being without money would make things difficult no matter where you are. Continue your story on NovelBin.Côm

But after hearing that Crystal Coins were tied to Crystal Cores and might collapse, he immediately became cautious.

"Thank you! If you hadn’t warned me, I would have gone to exchange for Crystal Coins right afterward..."

Wang Tao expressed his sincere thanks.

"No need to be polite." Duan Xuchang first smiled, and then sighed helplessly, "Ah... I’ve saved up some Crystal Coins myself, and if they lose value, I’ll have nowhere to cry..."

Who would have thought that zombies evolved and in the process, they caused the abilities in Crystal Cores to evolve away...

Wang Tao shrugged helplessly; naturally, there was nothing he could do about such things.

However, he believed that Crystal Coins probably wouldn’t collapse.

After all, so far, the Hope Research Institute had created a lot of equipment that could use Crystal Cores, such as powered armor and the like.

Previously on the train, Duan Xuchang had experimented. Those Crystal Cores without abilities couldn’t be merged, but they could still be used in powered armor.

Therefore, Wang Tao felt the price of Crystal Coins would certainly fluctuate, but a total collapse was unlikely.

"Next, let’s talk about the base’s ranking system and the distribution of major forces. The Base Committee naturally holds the highest authority, and the specific executive arm is the Municipal Office..."

"As for the classification of the levels of major forces—if a force has a member who becomes a committee member, it is considered a large force!"

"There are currently 23 members in the committee. Each legion has two members serving as committee members, and the other forces only have one. And there are a total of six legions. So, there are 17 large forces in total."

"The names of the Six Major Legions are simply from the First Legion to the Sixth Legion. The ranking of these legions is not based on strength, but on the order in which they were established. However, the earlier a legion was established, the longer it has developed, and the stronger its strength... Therefore, it’s not wrong to say that a legion’s name also suggests its ranking.

For example, our Third Legion is ranked third..."

"As for what exactly a legion is, you can simply understand it as the regular army from before the reforms. We have a complete combat system, equipment, and a large number of soldiers..." @@novelbin@@

"We, the Six Major Legions, are the founders of Changhe Base, the strongest combat power of the base, and the firmest foundation stone of the base! The other committee member seats and such are actually voluntarily given by us..."

"Apart from the Six Major Legions, the remaining large forces include the Hope Research Institute, the Rush Army, the Northern Sea Union..."

"Among these forces, the Hope Research Institute naturally holds the most transcendent status. Various equipment related to Crystal Cores, potions, and so on are all developed by the Hope Research Institute..."

Wang Tao was very interested in the Hope Research Institute, especially the powered armor they produced.

Moreover, Wang Tao wanted to get a set of prosthetic limbs for Xiang Hongbin. The prosthetics Xiang Hongbin was using now were 3D printed at a military base, and while not unusable, there was still much room for improvement. Judging from the level of technology displayed in the powered armor and mechanical exoskeletons, getting a better set of prosthetics for Xiang Hongbin shouldn’t be hard...

"Finally, it’s about the division of areas within the base. Apart from our Six Major Legions, which are spread out all over the base, the other forces usually have fixed areas of activity. For example, the Hope Research Institute is located right in the center of the base..."

"You can completely think of this place as a normal city. Of course, it’s still quite different from cities before the apocalypse, such as now we have Special Ability Training Fields, firearm weapon shops, Special Ability Schools, and even casinos, pleasure venues... cough, in short, Changhe Base is large, and its functions are quite complete.

I can’t explain all the details at once, you’ll have to slowly discover them yourself..."

Listening to Duan Xuchang’s introduction, everyone showed an interested expression.

This Changhe Base sounds truly great!

There are even various entertainment facilities! When do entertainment facilities appear? Naturally, when there’s a higher sense of security. Otherwise, who would be in the mood for entertainment when living in constant fear? This indicates that Changhe City Base is indeed safe!

Duan Xuchang further explained:

"But this doesn’t mean that survivors can live carefree upon arriving at our Changhe Base. The base is our home, and its development depends on everyone. Everyone should contribute to the base, and the level of contribution will determine an individual’s power and status within the base! This is very important!"
