Bottle caps circulating in wasteland cannot be used casually by smashing them out with a capping machine.
Only the bottle caps with anti-counterfeiting codes issued after the economic crisis in 2150 have circulation value.
Moreover, the value of the 350ml model and the 660ml limited edition model is different. The latter has not yet found a method of production, so the value has always been very stable. A large bottle cap is about 20 ordinary bottle caps. During transactions, the price is generally based on how many ordinary bottle caps are used in custom.
At that time, some people joked that the anti-counterfeiting code of Coca-Cola bottle caps is simply more perfect than banknotes. Maybe one day it will become the currency of a third world country, after all, their banknotes have been depreciating.
Unexpectedly, the words came true. Today, more than 40 years later, the bottle cap has really become a hard currency.
Unfortunately, the place that became hard currency was not in a third world country, but in this wasteland of North America...
The physical identification codes developed by Coca-Cola spent a lot of money to ultimately facilitate survivors on North American wasteland.
There is no need to connect to the network, just a pair of code scanners can identify the authenticity of bottle caps, which are even better than Yajing.
As for how bottle caps became popular, there are many deeper reasons, which will not be discussed here.
With the ten boxes of canned lunch meat I carried with me, Jiang Chen changed from General Zhao to a large bottle cap filled with ten canned boxes of the same size, roughly counting the equivalent of more than 5,000 bottle caps.
If it is converted into sub-crystals according to the market conditions in North America, it may be a little more than three hundred sub-crystals.
It is conceivable how powerful inflation in North America is.
After exchanging the bottle caps, Jiang Chen did not leave immediately, but chatted with General Zhao for a while.
In addition to the information related to the colony, he also heard some interesting rumors.
For example, the leader of Tony Club is not dead. You must be careful when you see unknown canned meat. Sometimes they will recycle NAC canned boxes as a cover. As for what kind of meat they sell, they will only know when they eat it.
For example, the atmosphere in Steel City and Liberty City has been very unnatural recently, just like fighting, but I don’t know who the opponent is.
Jiang Chen recorded the news in the watch's database. Seeing that it was getting late, he stood up and said goodbye to General Zhao.
If there is any news, I will send someone to the airport to find you.If you need manpower, you can go to the tavern at the entrance of Chinatown. Solo visitors, hunters, and caravan guards are all good choices.However, I suggest that you should pay more attention when dealing with those white people. If it weren't for the strong request from the caravan, we wouldn't have put those people in at all.Before leaving, Smith Zhao reminded Jiang Chen.
I will pay attention.Jiang Chen bowed and walked towards the street with the six guards waiting at the door.
You go and buy some nutritional agents and ask about the information about the colony. We will meet here in an hour.He stuffed a box of bottle caps to a personal guard, and Jiang Chen instructed, "Don't save money for me."
Generally, the traffic flow of people is relatively large in places where nutritional mixtures are sold, and perhaps the bosses there will know something.
yes!The guard nodded and turned around and walked towards the other end of Chinatown.
Looking up at the tavern beside him, Jiang Chen signaled several guards to wait at the door and walked in.
Chinatown survivors are quite xenophobic, but this xenophobic is mainly aimed at survivors of other skin colors.
Without the cover on it, the Asian survivors in the tavern looked at Jiang Chen and others with more expressions of envy, and there was not much greed or covetousness.
In North American wasteland, power armor is not only a symbol of strength, but also a symbol of financial power.
It is not easy for ordinary survivors to have a set of mechanical exoskeletons. As for those who can wear power armor, they are all local tyrants. There are not many units in General Zhao's mansion, let alone those who are just wandering around.
A piece of power armor directly determines whether they encounter dead claws outside or run. Having their own power armor is the ultimate dream of almost all lone tourists and mercenaries.
In the eyes of these survivors, Jiang Chen and others have become those kind of compatriots who are decent.
Since such people appear in such a broken place, it is obviously impossible to come to drink. The environment of the Chinatown restaurant is much better than here.
Those powerful loners and mercenaries were already ready to talk to the financial backer.
Many female lone tourists cast ambiguous sight at Jiang Chen, and some even whistled boldly.
While accepting bodyguards, escorts and other commissions, many open female mercenaries do not mind providing additional services to sleep with. While getting tips from the employer, they also solve their physiological needs.
This is the atmosphere in North America. Even if Asian survivors are relatively conservative, they are only relative to their compatriots on the other side of the ocean.
I need to hire some people.When he walked to the bar, Jiang Chen didn't order any drinks. He directly slapped the tips of two large bottle caps on the table and said to the bartender, "There is no special requirement for strength, just don't hold back."The main thing is credibility, and secondly, your brain must be bright. Do you have any recommendations?
The moment he saw these two large bottle caps, the bartender's breathing became obviously rapid.
He calmly put away the bottle cap. He glanced at Jiang Chen's power armor and said with a grin, "It may be a bit difficult to find a young man who doesn't hold you back, but I don't think you are looking for a bodyguard or guard."If I guessed right, then I recommend you try those scavengers, whose intuition is as sharp as mice, and they are very familiar with any survivor gathering.
At this moment, a tall and thin man with a slim head shaved on his head and a striking scar on his face walked over.
Standing next to Jiang Chen, he first looked up and down at Jiang Chen, and then spoke.
Do you need help?
That's right.Turning his eyes to this man, Jiang Chen responded to his inquiry with his inquiry, "Who are you?"
Gris, I don’t remember my last name, everyone called me Crow.Gris grinned, first of all, I won’t hold you back, secondly, I’m very familiar with survivor forces in California, Nevada, and Utah.If you need a guide, I will at least not get lost.If you plan to find someone, as long as he is still on the West Coast, he will definitely not be able to escape.
Jiang Chen did not nod immediately, but turned his attention to the bartender who had previously tipped him.
The latter saw the cup rubbing his hands, and without shyness, he spoke directly.
Gris Crow... Well, I have a little impression of it. There are only a few British guys who can go to Chinatown without following the caravan, a good-looking scavenger, and occasionally a guest star in the caravan guards... that's all I can think of.According to the market conditions, hiring a guide requires twenty bottle caps a day, and forty if the guard is escorted, it is calculated as six days a week.Of course, I just suggest that you talk to yourself.
OKLooking at Gris, Jiang Chen said, "You are hired by me now. I will pay you fifty bottle caps a day. I will tell you what your task is."The only requirement is that I hope you are worthy of your reward.
Fifty bottle caps!
Hearing this number, many survivors cast envious eyes on Gris.Not to mention Chinatown, it is rare to see employers who are so generous even if they are placed in the Liberty City.
After hearing his reward, Gris's face was obviously happy, but soon he hid the joy behind his humility and nodded slightly and said happily.
It is honored to serve you.
Jiang Chen nodded.
After getting this enviable job, Gris thought that the generous employer would get up and leave the place immediately, his employer was still sitting there without any intention of getting up.
What do you want to drink?Seeing that Jiang Chen had no intention of leaving, the bartender asked.
Need not.Jiang Chen shook his head and said in a voice that everyone nearby could hear, "I said, what I need to hire is some staff... I still lack three to five."
Upon hearing this, Gris stood there, and the bartender almost couldn't hold the cup.
As for the survivor next to him...
Already gone completely crazy.
