Chapter 1390 (1/2)

The bottle cap that circulates in the waste soil can not be easily smashed out with a capping machine.

Only the bottle cap with anti-counterfeiting code, which was issued after the economic crisis in 2150, has circulation value. Moreover, the value of the 350ml cap is different from that of the 660ml limited cap. Since no survivor force has found a production method so far, the value of the latter has been very stable. A large cap is about equal to 20 ordinary caps. When trading, it is generally priced with ”how many” common caps.

At that time, some people jokingly said that ”the anti-counterfeiting code of Coca Cola bottle cap is more perfect than the banknote. Maybe it will become the currency of the third world countries one day, after all, their banknotes have been depreciating.”. As a result, I didn't expect that a word became a prophecy. Today, more than 40 years later, the bottle cap has become a hard currency.

It's just a pity that the place to become hard currency is not in any third world country, but in the waste land of North America

Coca Cola spent a lot of money to develop a physical identification code, which eventually made it easier for survivors on the North American waste soil. No need to connect to the network, just need a palm size scanner can identify the authenticity of the bottle cap, and even Bijing is good.

As for how the bottle cap is popular, there are many deeper reasons in it. Here we will not elaborate one by one.

With ten boxes of canned luncheon meat, Jiang Chen changed from General Zhao to a large bottle cap filled with ten cans of the same size, roughly equivalent to more than 5000 caps. If according to the North American side of the market conversion into sub crystal, it may also be a little more than 300 sub crystal.

You can imagine how much inflation in North America is.

After exchanging the bottle cap, Jiang Chen did not leave immediately, but talked with General Zhao for a while.

In addition to intelligence related to the colony, he also heard some interesting rumors.

For example, the head of Tony's club is not dead. He must be careful when he sees the unclean canned meat. Sometimes, they will recycle NAC cans as a ”cover”. As for what kind of meat is sold in it, only when they eat it can they know. For another example, the atmosphere of steel city and freedom city is very unnatural recently, just like fighting, but they don't know who their opponents are.

Jiang Chen recorded these news in the database of his watch. Seeing that it was late, he got up and said goodbye to General Zhao.

”If there's any news, I'll send someone to look for you at the airport. If you need help, you can go to the tavern at the entrance of Chinatown. It's a good choice for loners, hunters and caravan guards. However, I suggest that you should pay attention to the white people when dealing with them. If it was not for the strong demand from the caravan, we would not let those people in at all Before leaving, Smith Zhao told Jiang Chen.

”I'll pay attention.” Jiang Chen arched his hands and walked to the street with six guards waiting at the door.

”You go and buy some nutrient mixture and ask about the colony. We'll meet here in an hour.” A box of bottle caps were casually stuffed to a pro guard. Jiang Chen ordered, ”don't save money for me.”

The place that sells nutrition mixture is average person flow is bigger, perhaps the boss there will know what.

”Yes The guard nodded and turned to the other end of Chinatown.

Looking up to one side of the pub, Jiang Chen motioned for a few Pro guards to wait at the door and walked in.

The survivors of Chinatown are quite exclusive, but this exclusion is mainly aimed at the survival of other skin colors. In the case of not closing the mask, the Asian survivors in the tavern cast their eyes on Jiang Chen and others. They were more envious than greedy or covetous.

In the North American wasteland, power armor is not only a symbol of strength, but also a symbol of financial resources.

It is not easy for ordinary survivors to have a set of mechanical exoskeletons. As for those who can afford to wear power armor, they are all local tyrants. There are few in general Zhao's family who can take advantage of them, not to mention the loners who live alone.

A piece of power armor directly determines whether they will fight or run when they encounter dead claws outside. Owning their own power armor is almost the ultimate dream of all solitary travelers and mercenaries.

In the eyes of these survivors, Jiang Chen and others have become the kind of decent compatriots. Since such people appear in such poor places, it is obviously impossible for them to come to drink. The environment of the Chinatown restaurant is much better than here.

Those powerful independent travelers and mercenaries are already rubbing their hands, trying to figure out how to talk to the gold Lord. A lot of young girls are alone to Jiang Chen cast a warm. Ambiguous line of sight, some even bold this side of the whistle. While accepting the entrustment of bodyguards and escorts, many open female mercenaries don't mind providing extra services of accompany and sleeping. They not only get tips from their employers, but also meet their physiological needs.
