Ch 592: The Value Of Currency
“Damn it, what are we waiting for? Let’s get out of here!”
Seeing this, I quickly grabbed Ji Xinglan; this place was far too dangerous for us.
After I finished speaking, Ji Xinglan and they finally moved, but it was too late.
Because I got the booklet a little late.
The wedding procession had already arrived.
It was a huge procession, with a massive number of people. I used my Celestial Eye to take a look, and to my surprise, these people were all living people.
“Holy shit! They’re all living people!”
I blurted out.
Lao Dao knew the weight of those words; hearing this, he trembled!
“What?! Brother Chen, they’re all living people?”
Lao Dao couldn’t believe it. I had previously told Lao Dao that many of the servants and maids in this courtyard were like paper figures.
The core is just some energy.
But that’s not the case here; everyone is a living person, including the bride, a total of seventeen people.
Seventeen?
When I thought of that number, I couldn’t help but feel a chill.
Seventeen again!
I shivered.
It’s unbelievable.
When Lao Dao and I first entered the He Family, the things there were related to the number seventeen.
Now, after entering the Lin Family, it’s the same.
It’s so strange.
“Uncle Chen, what’s wrong with living people?”
At this time, Ji Xinglan beside me didn’t understand.
I told Ji Xinglan that the ones we encountered before were fake, but now we’ve actually met real people.
“What does it matter? At least they aren’t ghosts. Compared to that, real people are better!
Maybe they’re the staff here!”
After listening, Zhang Ke directly expressed her opinion.
To this, I could only chuckle.
This silly girl still thinks of this place as a tourist attraction.
Staff members, indeed.
In fact, here, living people are far more terrifying than ghosts.
Just as I was about to explain, the wedding party arrived.
I’m familiar with the leader of the wedding procession; it’s none other than Lin Da, whom I met before.
He’s the butler here.
The procession suddenly stopped, and everyone looked at me.
“Master Chen, finally found you! You made us search hard!”
Lin Da, who was at the head, looked at me expressionlessly, emitting a very strange voice.
His emotion was also off, making people feel horrified.
“Uncle Chen, are they calling you? Go over there. Those are the staff members. The booklet says that interacting with the staff will give you a reward!”
Zhang Ke, who had just spoken, watched everything with great interest. I cursed her inwardly as an idiot.
This girl probably hasn’t realized the danger yet.
She still thinks this is a tourist attraction. As for the three of us, she probably considers us part of the play, right?
“Come on, Master Chen. Of the seven people here, only three can survive. We are good friends, so I naturally want to help you!”
Lin Da spoke again, this time providing me with very valuable information.
“What? Only three can survive?!”
After hearing this, the three girls were a little scared.
Of course, except for Ji Xinglan, the other two showed a performative fear.
Like the kind of fear you feel when you encounter a ghost in a ghost house.
There’s some fear, but deep down, they think it’s fake.
Ji Xinglan is different. Ji Xinglan’s fear seems completely genuine.
Of the three, I only believe Ji Xinglan’s emotion is real, and she is the smartest of the three.
As for Wang Xu, needless to say, besides lacking an Earth Soul, he’s a big idiot!
I can’t stand it.
“Brother Chen, hurry up and go over there. I think Butler Lin is right!”
As I hesitated, Lao Dao reminded me and then pushed me forward.
I didn’t blame Lao Dao, because even if Lao Dao hadn’t pushed me, I would have been the first to go.
After I went over, Lin Da’s expression was a little complex as he looked at me.
“Actually, Master Chen, you shouldn’t have gotten involved in this. The Lin Family’s waters are very deep, but unfortunately, once you’re here, you can’t leave!”
Lin Da only gave me this one sentence.
Just as I was about to say something, Lin Da’s eyes changed, returning to that previous vacant state.
I understood; in that vacant state, they are likely under control.
But in a normal state, I guess Lin Da might retain his previous memories.
And Lin Da at that time would be trustworthy.
“You’re the first to come, and you’re my friend, so as a reward, take these three copper coins!”
After saying this, Lin Da directly threw me three copper coins.
I checked the three copper coins; they were stamped with four large characters: Qianlong Cash Coin.
In other words, this is currency from the Qianlong era.
I gently touched them; the feel is like last week’s, not at all like antiques.
In other words, if I take this thing back, it won’t sell for much money.
“Thank you, Butler Lin!”
I bowed to Lin Da.
Because just now, I observed the three copper coins through the Celestial Eye, and within these three copper coins, there was an extremely vast amount of energy, far beyond imagination.
Therefore, this kind of thing absolutely cannot be measured by its monetary value. I think these three copper coins must have a huge function.
And by this time, Lao Dao and Ant had also arrived.
“I remember you two. You’re Masters too. As a reward, this is your money!”
When Ant and Lao Dao came over, Lin Da reached into his pocket, then pulled out four silver ingots.
According to Qing Dynasty measurements, this should be four ounces of silver, two ounces per person.
I used the Celestial Eye to observe again. Wow, the energy on these silver ingots is a little less than the energy on the copper coins I just received.
Something is wrong, but it also confirms my previous thoughts.
The value of this thing cannot be measured by the price of the currency itself.
“Brother Chen, I think you got the short end of the stick!”
Lao Dao watched me, his mouth twitching.
Then, without a word, he stuffed a silver ingot into my hand.
“Brother Chen, you’re my older brother. This is for you!”
Lao Dao is really loyal; he directly threw one into my hand.
Seeing this, Ant didn’t hesitate at all. He grabbed my hand, put one in my hand, and one in Lao Dao’s hand.
“Brother Chen, Brother Dao, you two saved my life. This thing isn’t very useful to me; you two should keep it!”
Ant’s words almost moved Lao Dao and me to tears.
However, Ant and Lao Dao don’t know the value of this thing.
If I’m not mistaken, the next four people who come will probably receive gold.
