Invincible through Touching Corpses

Chapter 342: Huaxia Coin

"Giving me money?" Lin Xinghai asked, his face filled with astonishment.

"Yes!" Wei Tianxing nodded, then signaled for a nearby guard to open the briefcase. Inside were several stacks of cash.

"The Points you have can only be used within our Star Shield Shelter. Outside, the common currency is this nationally issued Huaxia Coin."

"The exchange rate between Huaxia Coins and our shelter’s Points is 1 to 10. There are three million Huaxia Coins here. Although the cost of living at the East Sea Base is very high, this should be enough to last you for a year or so."

"Of course, I also suggest you go to the Military Department and exchange all your Points for Huaxia Coins, just in case."

Lin Xinghai was stunned by Wei Tianxing’s words, and he wasn’t the only one. Everyone else in the room was just as shocked.

Since they’d never had contact with other shelters, they had no idea that Huaxia Coins were required for trade.

After processing this news, Lin Xinghai was filled with gratitude.

After all, these Huaxia Coins weren’t cheap. According to the exchange rate Wei Tianxing had mentioned, three million Huaxia Coins were equivalent to thirty million Points.

How could he not be grateful when the man had just handed over such an enormous fortune without a second thought?

After all, if this money were used to purchase other equipment, it would be a huge help even to the entire Star Shield Shelter.

"Alright! I’ll accept this money. When the day comes for the Star Shield Shelter to be promoted to a base, I will definitely bring a group of powerful experts back to help defend against the corpse tide." Lin Xinghai didn’t try to save face by refusing; he accepted the favor directly, confident he could repay it in the future.

Wei Tianxing smiled at Lin Xinghai’s words and handed him the briefcase.

Lin Xinghai took the compact briefcase and looked at the Huaxia Coins inside. There weren’t actually that many bills, because their largest denomination was a surprising 10,000.

Three million Huaxia Coins was only 300 bills.

Lin Xinghai guessed the government must have issued such large-denomination bills for portability.

While thinking this, he picked up a stack of Huaxia Coins for a closer look. He’d only meant to glance at them, but the moment the bills were in his hand, he felt something was off.

"This paper..." Lin Xinghai began, rubbing a bill gently between his fingers. Sensing something, he suddenly applied more Power.

With Lin Xinghai’s current strength, he could bend ordinary steel, yet the Huaxia Coin in his hand remained completely undamaged.

Seeing this, Lin Xinghai applied more and more force. Eventually, he even used both hands to see if he could tear it apart.

But in the end, the thin, light piece of paper remained perfectly intact.

This display shocked not only Lin Xinghai, but everyone else as well.

Just then, Wei Tianxing said with a smile, "Give up. Never mind you, even a Martial Artist at the Peak of the Blood Qi Realm couldn’t hope to damage it in the slightest."

"Even I would have a hard time damaging it directly without using my Superpower."

Hearing this, Lin Xinghai’s expression turned serious. "So you’re saying the material used to make these Huaxia Coins can completely withstand attacks from a Blood Qi Realm expert?"

"Correct! It’s a biomaterial made from the corpses of Divine Demon Realm entities. It’s precisely because this material is so precious that the Huaxia Coins made from it could be successfully implemented in this post-apocalyptic world. If they were printed on ordinary paper, everyone would probably be suspicious," Wei Tianxing explained.

’In that case, if I use these Huaxia Coins as material to craft a suit of Inner Armor, wouldn’t I be completely fearless against attacks from others in the Blood Qi Realm?’ A thought struck Lin Xinghai, and he couldn’t help but ask.

"That’s not entirely true. After all, the material is just tough. It can help you resist piercing attacks, but it can’t help you mitigate the force of a blow, nor can it defend against Superpowers."

"Besides, each bill isn’t very large. To make a full suit of Inner Armor, you’d need at least fifty or sixty of them, which would cost five or six hundred thousand Huaxia Coins."

"For that kind of money, you could just buy a piece of defensive gear used by a Body Shaping Realm expert. It would absolutely be more effective than Inner Armor made from Huaxia Coins," Wei Tianxing said.

"Er... you can buy defensive gear for the Body Shaping Realm?" Lin Xinghai rubbed his chin. ’This just goes to show how little I know.’

At the same time, one of his worries was put to rest: Liu Miaomiao’s safety.

According to what Wei Tianxing said, once he got to the East Sea Base, he could buy a piece of Body Shaping Realm defensive equipment for Liu Miaomiao. Her safety would then be guaranteed.

After chatting for a while longer, Wei Tianxing didn’t linger and soon left with his guards.

"Old Fang, take a trip to the Military Department and help me exchange these Points for Huaxia Coins," Lin Xinghai said, directly transferring 20 million Points to Fang Tianhe’s account.

That’s right. At this point, the Points in Lin Xinghai’s account had already surpassed 21.3 million.

He had so many Points because, for one, half of all Points earned by the two major Mercenary Corps went to him.

For another, the other Mercenary Corps weren’t allowed to join the extermination team he’d formed for free. They had to hand over ten percent of their earnings.

Because of this, even though Lin Xinghai himself had barely made a move in the past ten-odd days, the number of Points in his account was skyrocketing daily.

Twenty million Points could be exchanged for another two million Huaxia Coins. Added to what Wei Tianxing had given him, he would have a total of five million Huaxia Coins. Even if expenses were high at the East Sea Base, that should be enough.

Of course, it didn’t matter if it wasn’t enough. The Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps and the Mountain and Sea Mercenary Corps would also send him money periodically.

After receiving the Points, Fang Tianhe quickly left. Lin Xinghai then led Liu Miaomiao, Shen Han, and Gao Mountain to a Cultivation Room that had been specially prepared for their breakthrough.

"I’m sure you all know what to watch out for during the breakthrough, so I won’t repeat myself."

"But there is one thing I need to say. If you feel you can’t break through the Genetic Lock with your own Power, don’t give up. Keep pushing, and I might be able to help you."

"Listen carefully. I said *might*, not that I *definitely* can. So don’t pin your hopes on me. You must give it your all to break through the Genetic Lock," Lin Xinghai said, his expression grave.

The three of them were inwardly shaken. As far as anyone knew, breaking a Genetic Lock was something you had to do on your own. At most, you could use some external aids, but no one else could possibly intervene to help.

If anyone else had said such a thing, they would have scoffed at the very idea.

But these words came from Lin Xinghai. And even though he himself wasn’t sure if he could do it, Liu Miaomiao and the others believed he definitely could.

Because Lin Xinghai was someone who constantly worked miracles.
