Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 722 Loan
Many electronic products were expensive and rare commodities in the past, but within a few years, they depreciated several times.

For example, mobile phones that were flagships three years ago are not even mid-range three years later.

What Alyssa found was similar to a floppy disk, but now we all use SSDs. How much value do you think a floppy disk has?
"From a historical perspective, it should be something from the Creation Religion, so it is a sacred relic."

“This isn’t worth much?”

"That depends on the quantity. Similar things are everywhere on the street. If you find a reliable antique dealer, he can give you a container full of them. How valuable do you think this thing is?"

Are copper coins cultural relics?

of course.

But is it worth the money?
They are really worthless, there are too many of them, and flea markets are everywhere, not to mention there is the issue of authenticity.

"Considering that it is genuine and well preserved, I'm giving you a friendly price. If you take it to other grocers, I'm afraid it won't cost even fifty gold coins."

Xia's offer must be lower than the market value, otherwise how can she make money? But this low price will definitely not be too much lower. If Xia always does this kind of bargain-hunting business, she will not be able to gain the trust of many recyclers, which is tantamount to destroying her own rice bowl.

"But it activated a machine soul, so that's not valuable?"

"Machine soul?"

This sentence aroused Xia's interest. She picked up the octagonal mechanical creation again and looked at it more carefully this time, but for no more than two minutes.

"It's just a startup code. There are many similar rune programs. If what you said is true, I am willing to add twenty more gold coins, no more."

"..."

Alyssa's psychological expectation was at least five thousand gold coins, but now it's only a fraction.

"How much do you know about the Creation Cult?"

"If I don't come to the space station for three months, the situation will change drastically. How can I find time to learn about history in this environment?"

Xia was not surprised by this answer. She shrugged and said:
"The Cult of Genesis was a very strong force more than a thousand years ago. Even now there are still remnants, but their main body has long been annihilated. But precisely because they were once very strong and spread widely, there are many sacred creations related to them. I suggest that you try not to collect such things in the future. If you like them, put them in your bedroom as a decoration. They are not worth much."

There are quite a lot of ornaments in Alyssa's bedroom. Ever since she became the captain, she always said that she had big business, but every time the harvest was identified as "worthless". The bedroom is almost filled with these things.

This is also one of the reasons why Carlos decided to rebel. This new captain does not look like someone who can make money with everyone.

The things were not valuable, but Alyssa did have a plan B.

"I need money now. You know how efficient banks are. How about the financing loan here?"

Xia rolled her eyes:

"I see. You were driven out by your men."

Alyssa almost spit out a mouthful of wine.

"If you have a starship, it will be easier for you to get a bank loan than for me. But you don't have one, which means there is something wrong with your starship. It doesn't look like your starship was destroyed, so it could only be that you were driven out by your subordinates."

"It doesn't matter what the reason is. Just tell me how much money you can lend me."

"My answer is, two thousand gold coins."

"so little?"

"In consideration of our past friendship, I am willing to lend you these two thousand gold coins without interest or collateral."

This is simply giving Alyssa money for nothing.

The friendship she referred to did not refer to her friendship with Alyssa, but to her friendship with Alyssa’s father and grandfather.

"Of course, I also have a condition. From now on, you must give priority to selling your products to me."

"But this is too little..." "Your grandfather mortgaged everything to my grandmother in exchange for 2,000 gold coins to get his current status. As his granddaughter, can't you do the same? You just want to take back your starship, not rebuild it."

"Stop provoking me."

"It doesn't matter. This is my offer. If you're willing, I'll write a check right away. If not..."

Xia pointed at the door with her chin:

“You can come and go as you please.”

–‐‐——–‐‐——

As the saying goes, a penny can make a hero fall, and of course, without money, you will not be able to do anything.

Alyssa has lived on the starship for as long as she can remember, and she has never imagined that one day the starship would be taken away by someone.

It's like the rich second generation. When the usual life suddenly disappears, the psychological gap is hard to accept. Even though they know that their lives were created by their parents, how many of them have the ability to create it again?

In any case, Alyssa accepted Thea’s proposal and left the grocery store with a check for two thousand gold coins.

Together with her own small treasury, her start-up capital is actually richer than that of her grandfather, and her goals are much easier to achieve than those of her grandfather.

But it is still easier said than done.

Alyssa knew that it was impossible for everyone on the starship to follow Carlos in rebellion. After all, she was very good to her subordinates when she was captain. What's more, the influence of her grandfather and father was still there. As long as Alyssa appeared, she could bring people to strangle Carlos to death.

That's the problem, she can't get back to the starship.

As mentioned before, the starship is sailing in the void. You must first find a way to lock its position, then get close to it, and after entering, you must find people who are loyal to you.

This process is not as easy as it sounds. Just getting close to the starship is difficult.

The first question is where the starship is, the second is how to get close to it, and the last is to call for help.

Alyssa couldn't do these things by herself, she needed help, a lot of help.

Leaning against the porthole of the space station, Alyssa stared at the endless starry sky and sighed.

It is impossible to give up, the starship carries too many memories.

She needed time to sort out what to do.

The gold coins on hand are definitely not enough to buy a new ship, and if you want to catch up with the starship, you must at least have a light cruise ship with long-distance navigation capabilities.

This is the most basic.

Moreover, in terms of combat capability, I am not a weakling, but I am definitely not a capable fighter.
Fortunately, when Long was asleep, Alyssa carried her crystal ball head with her. When Long wakes up from his sleep after a while, she can find a new body for her, which means she has a helper.

Long is a good fighter, after all, she is the sergeant major in charge of the combat troops on the starship, but she cannot be relied upon alone.

Alyssa also had to find a way to find trustworthy helpers, or at least put together a commando team.

As for where to find someone...

Alyssa scratched her hair in annoyance. Just at this moment, a shuttle passed by the porthole.

Alyssa didn’t care at first, but she reacted immediately and got close to the glass of the porthole, pressing her whole body against it.

Because she recognized that the ship that just floated past was the Manta.

That feeling is so fucking awesome...
