Chapter 312: Chapter 312: Exchange Place

Translator: 549690339

After meeting the uncertain friend or foe Du Lai, they proceeded to the notice board in People’s Square.

A large city map was affixed to the notice board, marking out the game zones around the city. Several places highlighted in red represented the registration center, the supply depot, the exchange center, and the headquarters of the so-called organization.

The registration center was where residents were registered and managed.

The supply depot was where supplies were collected and distributed.

The exchange center was where tools could be traded for leave permits.

Of these, the exchange center was the most popular. In addition to trading for leave permits, new functions gradually evolved, such as trading tools or forming teams.

The reason was simple, those who came here possessed tools.

And those who possessed tools were generally more capable, making the crowd here much better than the bustling mix of characters in the square.

Yan Qingwen had a look around, got a general idea of the situation, and prepared to return home.

However, Bai Youwei seemed reluctant to leave. Her eyes were gleaming as she looked around. She asked Teacher Chang to call over a staff member to inquire if there was a place where they could exchange puzzle pieces.

Not far away, Lun Ang was startled and asked Yan Qingwen in a low voice, “Is she planning to collect puzzle pieces here?”

Ever since Bai Youwei took their five puzzle pieces, they knew what she intended to do.

However, openly collecting puzzle pieces in such a place, wasn’t it kind of…drawing too much attention?

Yan Qingwen pondered for a moment and said, “We should go over there as well. Since we brought her out, we need to ensure she returns safely.”

Yan Qingwen and Lun Ang walked over.

Zhu Shu thought for a moment and followed.

They had only taken a few steps when they heard two nearby people commenting:

“Old man, who would exchange their puzzle pieces? A puzzle piece can exempt you from the doll game once, it’s even more useful than a leave permit!”

“Yeah, even if the organization opened a channel for exchanging puzzle pieces, nobody would do it.”

Chang Weicai hurriedly explained: “We can exchange used puzzle pieces.”

“Used puzzle pieces?” The two men looked at each other, then asked Chang Weicai, “What are you guys going to do with used puzzle pieces?”

“You don’t need to worry about that.” Bai Youwei said indifferently, “Just say whether you’ll exchange or not. After hearing about puzzle pieces, you two reacted quite strongly. Is it because either of you have puzzle pieces? Or perhaps, do any of your friends have them?”

The two men looked at Bai Youwei, their faces alert, “…Even if it’s a used puzzle piece, it’s still a puzzle piece. It might still have some unknown utility for all we know. Why should we exchange it with you?”

“Because I have tools.” Bai Youwei smiled, “You’ve been squatting here for so long, aren’t you looking to exchange tools? Do your own tools not work well? Do you want to exchange them with someone else’s? I can exchange with you~ I’ll give you a tool if you give me a puzzle piece. It’s a great deal, isn’t it?”

As she spoke, more and more people started gathering around them, looking at Bai Youwei and Chang Weicai with curiosity and suspicion.

People had seen trade-offs of food and medicine. Even tool exchanges weren’t uncommon but no one had ever traded puzzle pieces.

Yan Qingwen frowned and led Lun Ang and Zhu Shu to stand beside Bai Youwei, just in case these people thought it would be easy to bully an old man and a crippled man.

Lun Ang whispered in his ear: “This girl is reckless, daring to stir things up in such a place without even bringing her rabbit. Only Shen Mo would be able to tolerate her.”

At his words, the corner of Yan Qingwen’s mouth twitched, but he didn’t say anything. His gaze shifted slightly and he saw a familiar face.

“…It’s the same guy from before.”

Lun Ang looked surprised, he followed Qingwen’s gaze into the distance and saw that Du Lai was among the crowd, looking spellbound at Bai Youwei, apparently curious about what kind of tools she would bring out.

Seeing the crowd expanding, the exchange center staff, fearing trouble, said to Bai Youwei: “Any transactions must be posted on a notice. Once it is posted on the trading board, the parties involved can trade in private. The exchange center will not take responsibility for any problems that may arise.”
