Chapter 504 The Bank!

Lu Li was still sipping her cola when Xiao Di called. Her excited voice came through the phone, "Sister Lu Li, someone won a bank card!"

Because she was on speakerphone, everyone could hear her clearly, especially Old Shen and Zhang Ye, who were so excited they stood up immediately.

Old Shen asked incredulously, "What? A bank?"

Zhang Ye stammered, "A bank? Really?"

Suddenly, I could picture the research institute in action. Wow, that would be so exciting!

Lu Li was also a little excited and asked again, "Are you sure you're not mistaken? Is it a bank?"

Upon receiving Xiao Di's affirmative reply, Lu Li immediately stood up. "Let's go, let's go! What are you all standing there for? Do you even want the research institute anymore?"

Old Shen and Zhang Ye reacted the fastest, pushing their chairs aside and immediately following.

The others followed suit, also surprised that they had managed to scrape out the bank's bank account so quickly.

I never expected that even in the apocalypse, there would still be banks, the kind where you can borrow and deposit money.
What if I can't pay it back? Will they take my life?

Before anyone could think too much, they quickly followed Lu Li's footsteps, wanting to watch the excitement first and deal with the rest later.

As soon as they left the Sichuan restaurant, they saw the bank and were immediately stunned.

Lu Li had imagined it would be the kind of rigorous, cold, and meticulous style typical of civilized times.

But looking at it now, all I can do is laugh.

Good heavens, please, please stop with the abstraction!

The bank in front of us is a huge crystal core, a tenth-order crystal core, emitting a faint pink color.

Wang Yang felt a chill run down his spine. The pink crystal core represented a tenth-order crystal core, which in turn meant his life.

That's insane! How can you use pink crystal nuclei to represent a bank?

Who came up with this? Wang Yang was so annoyed by it that he really wanted to punch them.

Chu Lisheng muttered to himself, "Tenth-order crystal core? Bank? That's quite fitting."

A Tier 1 crystal core can be exchanged for 100 points at Luli, but that doesn't mean a Tier 10 crystal core can only be exchanged for 1000 points.

As for how much can be redeemed, no one has tried it yet.

After all, a tenth-order crystal core can provide a superhuman with far too much energy, making it more worthwhile than points.

"Let's go in and take a look." Lu Li had already recovered from her slight shock.

But everyone else was still staring at the tenth-order crystal core, even the customers, who couldn't help but think about it.

If only I could have a tenth-tier crystal core...

Lu Li took a few steps, looked back, and found that no one was following her.

They were all staring at the enormous tenth-order crystal core with eyes that held either resentment, desire, greed, or shock.

What, does nobody have megalophobia? Don't you get scared after looking at them for a while?
That makes sense. After so many years in the apocalypse, what haven't I seen? I've seen countless mutated plants and animals even larger than this.

Lu Li stood still, arms crossed, quietly waiting for them to come to their senses.

After a while, Old Shen came to his senses and silently followed Lu Li's steps. "Well done, very distinctive. You can tell at a glance that this is related to money."

Before the appearance of deer pears, people used crystal cores as the currency for transactions.

After the appearance of Luli, this point was taken to an even greater extreme, allowing users to exchange crystal cores for points and buy anything.

Lu Li was too lazy to wait for the others, so she walked side by side with Old Shen to the bank entrance.

The two of them, one on each side, pushed open the door and entered.

The interior was also different from what Luli had imagined; there were no counters, only self-service machines.

But it's good, otherwise I'd have to buy another robot, Lu Li thought to herself.

Thirty self-service machines were neatly arranged in the lobby on the first floor. Lu Li and Old Shen went to the nearest one.

There are several options on the screen, but they are all simple and easy to understand: deposit, withdrawal, and loan.

Old Shen's eyes lit up, and he clicked the loan button, after which the page changed.

You need to fill in your personal information first, such as how many points or crystals you have, or what level of superhuman or zombie you are.

Age, gender, specific superpower, position in the base, or unemployed.

Or perhaps they have made some contributions in the past, or have they ever been on the combat power rankings?

It's very detailed; it practically exposes this person from head to toe.

Old Shen clicked his tongue in amazement, "Anyone who didn't know better would think this was some kind of secret organization collecting information."

Lu Li laughed and said, "I guess it's to determine how much money this person can borrow, whether they can repay it, and if they can't repay it, how to get it back."

"That makes sense," Old Shen agreed. "But what if the information is falsified?"

"Why don't you give it a try?" Lu Li raised an eyebrow at him, her words carrying a hint of encouragement.

She trusts the system and believes there must be a way to determine the accuracy of the information.

Otherwise, why bother with so many fill-in-the-blank questions? Is it just for fun? Or is it because we have too much time?

Old Shen wasn't fooled and obediently started filling out the form.

When he was carefully filling out half of the form, He Luo and the others came in noisily, which immediately disrupted his thoughts.

Old Shen said helplessly, "You guys, fill out the loan information too, and see how much we can borrow, whether it's enough to buy the research institute."

Upon hearing about the research institute, Zhang Ye immediately perked up and went to the machine next to Elder Shen.

He Luo and the other two quickly clicked the loan button and followed after him, wanting to see what was going on.

Upon arrival, I saw this page, which looked like an exam paper, and there were four or five pages of it.

Xiao Peng was at a loss. "Boss Lu, is this an exam or a loan?"

Lu Li rolled her eyes at him, "How will we know if you're eligible for a loan if you don't take an exam?"

He Luo countered, "What if, after filling out the form, it's determined that this person is eligible for a loan, but then still can't repay it?"

"Then I'll pay with my life!" Lu Li said, defiantly.

What else can he do? He's penniless. If he doesn't repay the debt with his life, what can he do? Wash her dishes? She doesn't need that.

The group remained silent, yet they also felt it made sense; this was the end of the world.

If you can live a carefree life for a while before you die, then you won't have died in vain.

The system weakly replied: "If the borrower is a superhuman, and the loan is overdue, a life-or-death contract will be signed, requiring them to keep killing zombies until the debt is repaid."

Lu Li understood. [Oh~ What about ordinary people?]

The system replied: "Ordinary people without legal status generally can't borrow much, but with some effort, they can pay it back."

Lu Li summarized what the system had said and told it to the others.

They seemed to understand, but not quite; they either worked to pay off their debts or went to die.

Zhang Ye didn't care about anything else and was already filling in the information. He Luo and the other two also found a machine to start.

Five minutes later, Mr. Shen stretched his neck.

Lu Li asked, "How is it? Finished filling it out?" She was getting a little tired of waiting.

"Almost there, just one more page," said Old Shen.

He filled out the form very carefully, listing all the things he wanted to do, hoping for a larger loan amount.

Zhang Ye was the same; he even developed a "plant death" shell, which he used to fill all the shells.

After much difficulty, Mr. Shen finished filling in the form, and stared blankly at the string of zeros on the screen.

Luli started counting, "One, two, three, four..."
