Indescribable cyberpunk

"Account balance: 23,000 federal coins."

Zhu Jue looked at the shabby numbers on the screen and sighed helplessly.

Obviously, Ivanka had not thought about making money for quite some time when she was sure that she was about to leave, and her original savings were being exhausted by constant expenses.

So Zhu Jue's dream of becoming a millionaire overnight through inheritance was shattered.

Although the identity of the black house was temporarily eliminated through Ivanka’s resident card, Zhu Jue believed that it would be impossible to survive in this city relying on Ivanka’s face. The latter completed the transfer of the house through the Internet before returning. Agreement, all he has to do is fill in his citizen ID in the holder column, and then the things in the house will naturally belong to him.

Zhu Jue had just checked. Because he had been missing for too long and lived in Yecheng, he had been judged to have been killed by the government. His original citizenship certificate had been completely canceled, but this did not mean that he could not obtain a new identity.

In fact, the method of obtaining a new identity is not difficult. It is nothing more than going to the Population Management Center of Dawn City to register. As for the application conditions, it is also quite simple. Money!

As long as he pays a certain amount of money and cooperates with the government to conduct some assessments, he can immediately become an ordinary citizen of Dawn City.

Of course, this amount of money is definitely not small.

If you want to survive in this era, you can lack anything but money!

This is something Zhu Jue had understood five years ago.

However, regaining a formal identity is something that needs to be done later. Zhu Jue's top priority now is to bring the wind chime back first, and other things must be put in the back row.

However, Zhu Jue, who returned to this aspect, once again realized how important money is.

In terms of weapons, there are Mikazuki swords and plasma guns. There are also some equipment left by Ivanka in the workshop that can be used. There should be no need to consider replenishing them in the short term, but he wants to go to Yecheng through Anling City, which is a challenge in itself. Not a small expense.

The Fortress train is not one of those ordinary trains. It needs to pass through quite a few dangerous areas. Every trip often means a battle. The wear and tear of the vehicle is inevitable. The subsequent daily maintenance will undoubtedly require a lot of money. Naturally, the federal government will not This money may have been spent in vain, so the corresponding ticket price of the fortress train is quite high.

After Zhu Jue arrived in Anling City, it was impossible to walk to Yecheng. Not only did he have to rent or buy a car, but he also had to prepare enough food and water.

23,000 federal coins are definitely not enough.

"How can I make a quick buck? Robbery?"

Zhu Jue's idea was dangerous at first, but he was quickly rejected by himself.

It is undoubtedly stupid to go out and cause trouble without investigation. Even the most low-level thief knows to find a rich target before taking action. If he robs blindly, he will be involved if something unexpected happens again. With more energy, Zhu Jue will not be afraid of trouble, but he will not take the initiative to get into trouble.

While he was thinking about it, Zhu Jue's eyes accidentally turned to the things he took out of his pocket before taking a shower.

That key!

Yes, when the man in the ice field threw the key to him, he said that as long as he helped him kill the dream businessman named Adam, everything he had in Shuojin Bank would be his.

Since it’s a bank, it should be a place to deposit money, right?

Put the key in front of you and enter "Shuojin Bank" in the search engine. If you want to withdraw money, you must first go online to find its business branch in Shuguang City.

However, what surprised Zhu Jue was that no matter how many pages he turned and searched again and again, he still could not find the bank's official website.

Zhu Jue didn't think that the other party could temporarily create a key to deceive him under the circumstances. The key must be real. The key lies in the authenticity of this "Shuojin Bank".

"Huh~ It's really troublesome."

He took a deep breath and looked at the time on the lower right side of the screen. It happened to be midnight.

Zhu Jue left the computer desk, turned around and walked to the window. He sat down against the window frame and looked at the deserted street outside. In his ears, he could still vaguely hear the slight sound of rain that had been reduced to noise.

It's not noisy, but it brings out the quietness in the dim room.

A pair of dark purple narrow eyes lit up in the shadows on the side.

When it grew up, it completely lost its cute appearance like a little bobcat. The originally short mottled fur now turned into a silver mane covering its entire body. Its handsome body slowly appeared, occupying a large space in front of the bed. , and finally crawled beside Zhu Jue.

Even so, it could still rub Zhu Jue's cheek when it raised its head, and kept swallowing some light blue and light green fluorescence in its mouth. Occasionally, it would spit it in front of Zhu Jue, making the latter feel wet and refreshed. .

"Is this the benefit of liberation? This seems to be one of the methods of strengthening, but the speed is too slow. I don't know how much you can absorb before you can barely grow."

Zhu Jue, who was aware of the mental changes, was surprised to see the behavior of the giant beast transformed by his own will. He closed his eyes for a while and then continued with a little loss,

"We still have to find other methods. Natural growth is really slow."

Withdrawing his gaze and letting it sit aside, Zhu Jue continued his thinking.

This key involves the Dreamland merchant. The title of this merchant is also very unfamiliar to Zhu Jue, but he vaguely remembers that the man he killed in Fang Doushan's different space also called himself a merchant.

His intuition told him that the two men's professions should be the same.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jue became more and more interested in this key, so he started searching for the term "Dreamland Merchant" again.

As expected, this entry is the same as Shuojin Bank. There is no useful information in this regard on the Internet at all. In this era of information that cannot be found on the Internet, there are only two possibilities:

First, these two concepts do not exist at all. The guy gave a real key, but reported a made-up identity and bank name.

Second, the nature of the existence of the Dreamland Merchant and Shuojin Bank is very special, and insiders have not published this information online.

Compared to the first guess, Zhu Jue is more inclined to the second possibility.

The reason is very simple. The man in Fang Doushan's different space actually exists. His words are undoubtedly true to a certain extent. And the man in the snowmobile proposed a similar concept to him. This can't be a coincidence, right?

So assuming the second possibility, both the identity of the Dreamland merchant and the existence of Shuojin Bank are hidden secrets. The former is another matter. Since the latter is called a bank, its function must be similar to that of a bank. .

Deposit and withdrawal functions are the basic functions of banks.

However, Shuojin Bank cannot be found online, which means that it is impossible for it to open its branches blatantly in the city, but will choose to hide its existence from the outside world.

Under such a premise, when the other party handed the key to Zhu Jue, he only mentioned that he should go to Shuojin Bank to pick up the items, and did not give any hints on when to pick up the items or how to pick them up.

He actually doesn't want Zhu Jue to get his inheritance?

Or.

"He thinks a key is enough!"

An idea flashed in his mind, and Zhu Jue said to himself in a deep voice.

He turned over and landed on the ground, quickly walking into the workroom. When he came here to check just now, he noticed that there was a magnifying glass-like device among the equipment placed on the workbench.

Drop~

With the slight sound of the machine starting up, the platform at the bottom of the small crane with a magnifying glass lit up with white light, and a palm-sized light screen immediately extended in front of it. When Zhu Jue placed the gray key in the center of the platform, An enlarged image of a certain part of the key immediately appeared on the light screen, and on the left and right of the image were up and down arrows for adjusting the brightness of the base and the magnification.

Adjusting the magnification to about 5 times, Zhu Jue moved the mechanical magnifying glass to scan the key.

"After collecting digital information, whether to piece it together and combine it?"

Zhu Jue was a little surprised by the cold mechanical beep. This machine was far more useful than he imagined. He quickly reached out and clicked the allow button.

Immediately, the numbers one after another were analyzed from some tiny bumps arranged on the surface of the key, first appeared in the form of images, and then were automatically integrated into a series of continuous numbers on the light screen.

"As expected, because the key itself contains information on how to find Shuojin Bank, that's why you just threw it to me!"

The previous annoyance was completely forgotten by Zhu Jue the moment the key was cracked. Looking at the numbers in front of him, his spirits were lifted for a moment.

There were 11 numbers in total. Zhu Jue stared at them for a few seconds and then lightly snapped his fingers with his left hand. The scavenger immediately understood and turned into quicksand to get Zhu Jue's cell phone from the table outside.

It's not that Zhu Jue thought it was a mobile phone number.

But with the currently known information, he could only hope that it was a mobile phone number, otherwise his work for more than half an hour would have been in vain.

Press the number into the communication page and dial without hesitation.

Du~du~du~

Click~

Zhu Jue grinned, with a big smile on his face.

The call went through!

Remaining silent, he wanted to wait for the other person to speak first.

"It seems that Mr. Shuoshu's key has been taken away by someone else."

The voice on the other end of the phone was a little hoarse, but the meaning of the words was unmistakable.

The other party knows that the original owner of the key is dead!

This is a bit embarrassing
