While others were out looking for useful information, Dong Jianping was also wandering around.

You don’t know if you don’t look at it, but at a glance, you really discovered things about the Xingchen Group, which cannot be reflected in the data.

Only by experiencing it yourself can you understand it.

Dong Jianping wandered to the square in the town. There were many stalls in this square, which was similar to the so-called food court before.

It is neatly planned, and each stall owner has one or several tents as a business place.

This is indeed a famous commercial street in the town. It is crowded with people and full of shouts and cries.

Dong Jianping discovered that the materials sold here were very rich.

Whether it's food or tools, you can find them all here.

Food is also very diverse.

There are flour, rice, vegetables, fruits and other foods.

Dong Jianping even discovered meat.

You know, because animals are also infected by zombie viruses, it is already difficult to find edible meat.

Even if it is found, it is food that has been stored and passed down in the past.

When Dong Jianping saw the food, his first thought was that the national reserve had been breached.

However, he quickly shook his head secretly. This was impossible. If Xingchen Group found the national reserve on its own, it would not be so generous to sell the materials in the reserve.

Everyone knows that in the days to come, food will become more and more scarce, and the price will also become more and more expensive.

Under this trend, no one will take out precious food for sale.

But if the food in these people's hands is not taken from the national reserve, where does it come from?

Suddenly, Dong Jianping thought of a possibility. It was not that the other party did not sell food. As long as he controlled the amount of food sold, it would not have much impact. Instead, he could control the survivors for his own use.

In fact, Dong Jianping's guess is very close to the truth. A large part of the food in the hands of these people outside is indeed purchased from the Xingchen Group, but this food is not from the national reserve, but from another world.

Dong Jianping put away his thoughts when suddenly a gust of wind blew and a scent of fragrance hit his face.

This is the smell of barbecue.

Dong Jianping took a deep breath, a look of intoxication on his face.

Even though he is the leader, he hasn't had barbecue for a long time.

Gulu!

At this moment, his stomach rumbled unexpectedly.

Dong Jianping touched his belly and walked straight towards the barbecue stall.

Although the smell of barbecue is fragrant, there are not many people in front of the stall.

The reason there are so few people is not that his barbecue is not good, but because the price is too expensive.

A skewer with three or four pieces of mutton on it requires 5 contribution points or 10 grams of energy crystals.

When the boss saw Dong Jianping coming, he quickly greeted him: "Brother, why don't you come and try our barbecue? It's sweet and delicious. I'm sure you'll have endless aftertaste after eating it."

Dong Jianping picked up a skewer of mutton. The mutton on it was quite plump and roasted to a golden color. With the addition of seasonings, the aroma hit his face and whetted his appetite.

"How do you sell this mutton kebab?"

"A bundle of 5 contribution points, or 10 grams of energy crystals, is definitely a good deal." The boss immediately gave a quote.

In fact, there is no need to quote because the price is already marked on the side.

Dong Jianping asked curiously: "Boss, I'm sorry, I want to ask, what does this contribution value mean? Where can I get the contribution value?"

"Brother, isn't it? What era is this? You still don't know the contribution value? The contribution value is the electronic currency issued by the Star Group. As long as you register as a member of the Star Group, you can use the contribution value. Brother, where do you come from?

Even if you come from the Suzhou settlement, you won’t know the contribution value, right?"

The boss looked at Dong Jianping in shock, but seeing that Dong Jianping really didn't know, he explained it very kindly.

There are very few survivors like Dong Jianping who don't know the value of their contribution.

As an electronic currency issued by Xingchen Group, contribution value was only used internally by Xingchen Group at first.

Later, after the survivor town was established, in order to facilitate transactions between everyone, they all chose the guaranteed contribution value issued by the Star Group as an intermediary.

Later, after Xingchen Group discovered this incident, it took the initiative to assume this responsibility.

In fact, this matter has only advantages and no disadvantages for Xingchen Group.

Recently, after the Xingchen Group regained the Suzhou settlement, contribution points have become everyone's default currency.

Of course, in addition to the electronic currency of contribution value, energy crystals are still hard currency.

In addition to energy crystals, there is also gold that can barely become a hard currency.

Dong Jianping didn't know this, but he roughly understood some of the situation from the boss's explanation.

Then he took out an energy crystal from his pocket and handed it to the boss.

"Weigh them for me. I've bought them all."

The boss took the energy crystal with a smile, took out an electronic scale from the corner, weighed it, and it showed 58.5 grams.

"Brother, the total is 58.5 grams. Even if you count 60 grams, I will give you six skewers of mutton skewers. If you don't like mutton skewers, you can also choose other meat skewers.

In addition to mutton skewers, there are also beef skewers and chicken skewers, you can choose your own.”

The boss wiped away the remaining 1.5 grams very generously.

This is the drawback of using energy crystals as currency.

The weight of energy crystals varies. Sometimes when you want to buy a product, you can only get as close to a certain value as possible, and it is difficult to achieve the exact same value.

Energy crystal is a difficult substance to cut, and even if you want to get it down to an integer number of grams, it is quite troublesome.

So when the contribution value appeared, everyone quickly accepted this electronic currency.

After all, people who used electronic money before were suddenly forced to revert to the most primitive barter. You can imagine how uncomfortable this transaction mode is.

It’s not that electronic currency has never appeared before, but without strong strength and abundant supplies as a backing, who would recognize the electronic currency they issue?

It was only the electronic currency issued by Xingchen Group, a powerful organization, that everyone suddenly accepted.

"Give me two skewers each." Dong Jianping put the remaining energy crystals into his pocket.

"Okay, brother, please take your meat skewers."

The boss packed the meat skewers with excitement and handed it to Dong Jianping.

Just from Dong Jianping's business, the boss made nearly half of it. Can he be unhappy?

Dong Jianping ate the barbecue in his hand and wandered on the street.
