Chapter 142 - Diligent Miner (1/2)

The back of his head mustn’t be hit; not even once in his life. He might turn into an idiot otherwise.

But Zhang Che was burning with anxiety inside!

Those weren’t his own memories, after all. No matter how perfect the transfer was, it was still something in the “hard drive”. He had to key in the correct search term on his own if he wanted to read something in it, and filter the results by himself. How troublesome was that?

“I don’t believe that I can’t find you!” Zhang Che understood clearly that there was sure to be relevant information pertaining to the situation before him hidden in the memories of his past self. It was just that he couldn’t remember it for now.

It didn’t matter if he couldn’t recall it; he had lots of time to spare, any way.

Therefore, he chose to sit under the “green starscape” and tried to recover from his anxiety, before opening the “memory drive” left behind by his predecessor, searching for what he wanted.

It had to be mentioned that the original Zhang Che’s love for research on beast world minerals was truly something. It was very possible that he read up on all publicly available information on the internet, taking up a big corner of his “memory drive”.

Even the current Zhang Che, whose spiritual strength was comparable to high-tier beastmasters, had to exhaust an immense amount of effort before he finally found the relevant information regarding the “green starscape” above his head.

“Hoo… I finally found it!” Zhang Che let out a long breath, revealing a bright smile.

His smile was very bright, but under the indistinct illumination of the green light, it looked pretty horrifying, like a smiling malicious spirit.

“In places like this where green fluorite is gathered in large amounts, it is highly likely that purple-gold crystal ores will be present nearby. The purple-gold crystal ore is one of the rare minerals found in beast worlds. A gram of it is worth more than a one-star black iron-quality beast card, priced at over ten thousand Alliance dollars per gram!”

Zhang Che immediately understood why his predecessor would have such a deep impression of this, so much so that his memory, hidden deep within his “memory drive”, was triggered the moment he saw a relevant scene.

Ten thousand dollars per gram! What kind of a concept was that!?

There was no need to risk one’s own life hunting exotic beasts. If a commoner could find a small piece of it, their livelihood would be set for a few years. If they were more fortunate and found a big piece, then congratulations to them; they wouldn’t have to worry about money for the rest of their lives.

Right now, the green starscape before Zhang Che’s eyes was very likely to be hiding a huge amount of purple-gold crystal ores.

Despite already having millions in his bank account, Zhang Che’s heart started thumping heavily, and his breathing became ragged at the thought of this possibility.

The biggest reason why he became so agitated wasn’t because of money.

It was because there had always been a rumor among the commoners, saying that within the circle of the big figures and the high-tier beastmasters, purple-gold crystal ores and other rare minerals had always been treated as a unique currency to exchange for precious materials, high-tier beast cards, and many other things that were out of reach of the commoners.

Zhang Che believed that this definitely wasn’t a baseless claim!

Think about it; a three-star gold-quality beast card could sell for millions, if not tens of millions of dollars. What about those beast cards that were of a higher level and quality?

It would be an astronomical amount!

When the money involved reached a certain degree, they were nothing more than a number to the influential people. Trading precious materials and high-tier beast cards for money would be meaningless.

Thus, a practical currency which inherently held a high, stable value was born.

Rare minerals like the purple-gold crystal ores, which had an extremely wide range of uses and yet wasn’t too rare, immediately received the common acknowledgement of those in high society, and became barter currency.
