Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month

Chapter 15 City of Destiny, Equivalent Exchange

In just a few minutes, the old man Erhu felt deeply what it meant to be on pins and needles.

Every melody that floated out from the suona seemed to turn into a ruthless knife, stabbing hard in the chest.

You can hear heart disease!

Every note falls in an unexpected place.

finally……

When the music ended, the old man Erhu suddenly felt like he had been released from prison, and his whole body felt relaxed.

He pursed his lips, wanting to say something, but when he raised his head, he saw Chen Ye showing an honest and honest smile.

"Master, does that sound good?"

The corners of the old man's mouth twitched slightly, not knowing what to say.

Obviously being able to play this suona requires good musical qualifications. After all, I have experienced the difficulty of this suona.

If you are not an ordinary person, you will not be able to play at all.

However, the actual sound is simply indescribable...

After a moment of silence, the old man Erhu took a breath:

"Your music is truly unprecedented and unprecedented!"

Chen Ye smiled happily and said:

"Master, I will play it to you every day."

"No, no!" The old man Erhu smiled wryly and waved his hands, "You should travel around the world and let your music be heard all over the world. Only in this way can you feel a sense of accomplishment."

"Master, I am already old and my ears are not very good, so I'd better leave it at that..."

Seeing that Chen Ye was still about to speak, the old man Erhu picked out three coins from the iron bowl in front of him and threw them over.

"Here, here's your performance fee."

Fortunately, Chen Ye reacted quickly. The moment the coin was tossed, he immediately closed his mouth and caught it with his hand.

Three bronze coins, hard in texture and with a coppery shine on the surface. There was a metallic clanking sound when tapped gently.

at the same time.

In the personal interface, Chen Ye's assets changed from "0" to "3 copper coins".

"Master, didn't you give me a suona and teach me the art of music? Why do I have to pay a performance fee to listen to the music?" Chen Ye asked doubtfully.

"That's different." The old man Erhu shook his head, "What I exchanged for the suona is that you will make money from music in the future, and you can share some of it with the old man for me to support myself in my old age, as long as I don't starve to death."

"So, it's reasonable for me to eat your roasted chestnuts, or for you to make money and buy a house in the future, and share the same with the old man and me."

"But music performance is your professional income, and you have to give it what you deserve."

Chen Ye was dumbfounded for a while. He didn't expect that the exchange of equal value would be so detailed.

"Of course, you don't have to pay a performance fee to listen to my music. After all, listening to music is also part of learning." The old man Erhu said with a smile.

It seems that he understands a little bit... Chen Ye gradually understood the terms of the exchange between Erhu and the old man.

Chen Ye can have the unconditional right to share in exchange for teaching skills in exchange for the income he will earn in the future, such as exchanging suona for sugar-roasted chestnuts, or other income from street performances.

But the shared rights will not be too much, they are designated for retirement.

Such as daily living expenses, food, clothing, housing, transportation, etc...

As for Chen Ye's income other than music, or other items that have nothing to do with retirement, he does not have the right to share.

During the previous closed beta, there were no rules for equivalent exchange. Should it be a setting for the new copy?

It's quite interesting...

It’s worth studying, it might be helpful for making strategies in the future!

Chen Ye was moved and asked: "Master, what will happen if the rules of equal exchange are not followed?"

The old man Erhu was silent for a moment and sighed:

"Do you know this city has another name?"

"What?"

"City of Destiny!"

The old man Erhu showed a rare meaningful smile on his face, hehehe said:

"Everything gained from a hit has already been secretly marked as a bargaining chip."

"In this city, if any transaction is not conducted according to the rules of equal exchange, the chips paid in the future will be written in the future destiny..."

"As for how long it will take to repay the price, whether it will be in the past week, three months, one year, ten years, or a lifetime, it is unknown."

"There is a saying in the City of Destiny: I would rather rob than go into debt!"

The night had completely darkened, and thick dark clouds covered the sky over the city.

In the silence, Chen Ye was silent, savoring these words...

During the internal testing of the game, the rules of equivalent exchange were not that complicated, and for the time being it was just trading with some NPCs.

When "Strange Era" comes to reality, all the details here are so real, as if they have transformed into another world. Equivalent exchange is undoubtedly an important subject that requires careful understanding.

"Would you like some water?"

For some reason, the old man Erhu picked up the water ladle in the bucket and filled a bowl of water.

But at this time, in the darkness, the expression of the old man Erhu was hidden in the shadows, making it difficult to see clearly.

Chen Ye was slightly stunned, and then realized that he had not drank water for a long time. Although roasted chestnuts with sugar can fill you up, the heat also makes your body dehydrated and makes your mouth dry.

He subconsciously wanted to take the water ladle and drink it all...

Suddenly.

Chen Ye seemed to have remembered something!

He took out a copper coin from his pocket and tossed it over.

The old man Erhu took the coin, was silent for a moment, and said with a smile:

"I was indeed right about you kid, you learn very quickly!"

According to the terms of exchange...

Although you don't need to pay the performance fee to listen to the old man Erhu eating Chen Ye's food. Chen Ye didn't have to pay anything to listen to the old man's erhu performance. However, if you use Old Man Erhu's items, you will have to pay a price.

Most people would probably faint if they played around with this rule.

"Who said I have to change the water?" Chen Ye smiled slightly, "The safe water source of Xijiang River, you only need to pay one copper coin, and you can exchange for the right to use it for a week."

"You can bring back as much water as you want."

"It would be too much of a loss to exchange a coin for your ladle of water."

Along the way, I checked the posts in [Destiny Jianghu] and [Fenghuaxueyue], and some players also posted information about the game.

Therefore, Chen Ye didn't know anything about this place.

The network connected to the bloody mobile phone can be said to be an important source of information in the early stage.

Chen Ye continued: "Let's take care of each other in the future. If anything happens, we can help each other."

The old man Erhu took the coin with a happy expression on his face.

"Ah!"

"As expected of my carefully selected apprentice!"

"You really learn quickly!"

Chen Ye also smiled, and a strange feeling suddenly emerged in his heart.

For some reason, when he said the words "help each other", he suddenly felt as if the characteristics of [Wanderer] had gone through a round of digestion!

Although wandering people are as humble as insects and ants, they can still stay warm by hugging each other. Hold up a small boat in the storm and cross the bumpy and bumpy road of this world.

At this moment, he seemed to feel something had changed in himself...

However, this change is so wonderful that it is still difficult to describe where exactly the change lies.

Chen Ye felt calm inside, knowing that he finally had a solution tonight.

While other players had to go through the most difficult first night, he had found a temporarily safe place.

Just now, the test that the old man Erhu gave him was successfully passed.

This test is not done with the intention of causing harm, but to make oneself better understand how to use the rules of this world.

Only people who sincerely want to help themselves would do such a thing.

"We are all wandering, so we need friendly help from each other even more..."

For some reason, it was just a characteristic at first, but now Chen Ye feels like he really has a "wandering heart."

midnight.

The old man Erhu lit a bonfire next to him, and then he lay down to sleep very early, snoring loudly.

It's almost like a pig grunting next to it.

Chen Ye was not sleepy yet and was in good spirits. The thunderous snoring of the old man Erhu could be heard nearby, making him unable to fall asleep. But he can't move around now, it's safe to stay where he is.

You can't run around in the middle of the night, and you can't play the suona to disturb the people!

otherwise……

Not to mention attracting other "friendly" aborigines, the old erhu man next to him might beat himself to death!

The weird value cannot be refreshed for the time being...

Out of boredom, Chen Ye turned on his bloody phone again.

at this time.

His eyes moved, and he suddenly noticed a special transaction information in the [Weird Black Market]——
