The Terra Travel Diary of Neither Sacred, Rhea, nor Terra

In response to Miku's statement, Kristen, who was driving, said.

This is actually how these small-scale conflicts on Terra take place, and mobile cities are valuable, both for the cities themselves and for the people who live in them.

It's not a particularly exaggerated war, it's usually fought in a very elegant way... at least it won't involve demolishing cities.

...Although it has not been dismantled before...

"Is it difficult for the Terrans to build a mobile city?" Miku asked Christen, looking at the scenery outside which was not much different from Night City.

"Emmm, it's not difficult." Christen said after a moment of hesitation.

Because this is not difficult only for some superpowers, such as Victoria, Columbia, Ursus, Dayan, and Casimir is also considered half.

In some other countries, it is also quite difficult to build mobile cities.

Some countries don't even have this technology and need to import it from other countries.

However, it is not difficult to introduce this technology. Basically, no country or force will hold us back on this not-so-high-tech technology.

Because the difficulty of building a mobile city for the Terrans is not technical, but resource-related.

Rhine Life's engineering department has several plans for building mobile cities.

As long as there are enough resources and a suitable place, you can shoot whenever you need to.

"Yeah, I can see that." Miku said without being surprised.

This can be seen because theoretically there are many things that need to be considered for such a giant mobile fortress.

Every area and every building should be planned in the most reasonable way.

Theoretically, the best scenario would be for all buildings and mobile fortresses to be integrated together to form a giant moving iron tower.

But these Terrans... they not only built skyscrapers on top of the mobile cities, they even built shanty towns on top of them, and they were made of brick and stone.

It gives people the feeling that a chassis is built casually, and the things on it are built casually.

This requires enough technical lingering to be able to make it like this.

…This may sound strange, but it is indeed Miku’s evaluation of the moving city.

Of course, this rating is not a criticism, but rather a praise.

At least, the Terrans are pretty good at building things (in both senses of the word)

“…” Christen, who vaguely understood what Miku meant, felt a little embarrassed.

"Is my motorcycle okay?" The Earth Spirit, who finally found an opportunity to speak, asked worriedly.

"Your motorcycle is now the personal valuable property of a formal employee of Rhine Life. Every personal valuable property of a Rhine Life employee is insured by Rhine Insurance." Christen is still very confident about the welfare benefits of her company.

"...If possible, I still don't want to bother the insurance company." Rather than having his motorcycle insured by an insurance company, Di Ling still hopes that his motorcycle can be kept intact.

After all, if the insurance company intervenes, it means the motorcycle is lost... Even if it isn't lost, the result probably won't be much better.

"Even if your motorcycle is really lost in this company war, the company will give you a brand new one."

"It doesn't matter if it stops production. Rhine Life's engineers can build a new one, and it won't be difficult to restart the production line."

In light of Miku and the Earth Spirit's future relationship, Kristen continued to make assurances that would reassure the Earth Spirit.

"...I'd rather keep the original one."

Di Ling said this with some entanglement, because for Di Ling, the Fernande motorcycle was not valued so much by her because of its own merits, but because the motorcycle represented the agreement between her and her mentor.

Hearing the earth spirit's troubled tone, Miku, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked back at the lamb and said:

"Don't worry, I rode that motorcycle too."

“???” Di Ling didn’t know what it meant to be ridden by Miku, but seeing that both Christen and Miku had made such a promise, she was very tactful and didn’t say anything else.

"Where are we going now?" Christen, who also didn't know what Miku's riding meant, but knew it was definitely not that simple, asked Miku.

"Are there any special delicacies?" Miku asked.

"This city is the headquarters of John's mother." Kristen gave an answer that was not really an answer.

But Miku understood what it meant instantly.

Judging from the product style of John's Mama, it is estimated that the specialty food of this mobile city is either junk food or sugar beans in syrup.

Although junk food tastes good, eating it once or twice is enough. You will get tired of it if you eat it at every meal.

"Are there any tourist attractions or shopping malls? Let's go shopping."

Miku looked like a country boy coming to the city, as if the impending corporate war didn't exist.

"...Tourist attractions? Do abandoned factories count?" Christen thought for a long time but couldn't think of any worthwhile attractions in a low-end industrial mobile city like Tikalundo.

"This is very much your style, but let's forget it for now. What about the shopping mall?" Miku said that this kind of abandoned tourist attraction is okay, but he decided not to go there for the time being.

"..." Seriously speaking, these questions from Miku were a bit too difficult for Christen, who had never been here except for the one time when Rhine Life was established in Tikalondo City.

Christen even wanted to buy a local travel brochure from a newsstand on the street... Unfortunately, Tikarendo is not a tourist city, so that kind of brochure cannot be bought.

Just when Kristen didn't know how to answer Miku because she was not familiar with Tikalundo, Arturo, who was sitting in the back seat with the Earth Spirit, said:

“I remember there was a branch of Vangelica in this city.”

"Vangelica?"

"A jewelry store?"

The first sentence was uttered by Di Ling. From Di Ling's tone, we can not only see that she knew what the name was, but also that this name symbolized something she could never afford in her lifetime.

The second question was asked by Miku. When Christen heard that Miku guessed that Vangelica was the name of the jewelry store at the first sight, she turned her head in surprise.

"That seems to be the case. I also bought jewelry there." I just didn't spend any money, Miku added in his heart.

"? Have you bought it too?" Kristen emphasized the word "you" in her words, indicating that she was asking about Miku from Terra.

"Yes, I've bought them all." Miku said with a smile.

Kristen hesitated for a second before realizing what Miku meant and almost slammed on the brakes.

It turns out that jewelry store has already opened in other worlds?

"Maybe it's just a coincidence of names. Let's go to that store and have a look." Miku decided on the next itinerary.

When they were about to reach their destination, Di Ling suddenly pointed at a building outside the car and said:

"Can you stop here for a moment? Just for a moment."

"Bank?" Kristen asked, glancing at the building the Earth Spirit was pointing at.

"Well, I'll go get some money." Di Ling nodded and said.

"..." After taking a look at Di Ling from the rearview mirror, Christen did not say anything with low EQ. She nodded and drove the car to the bank that Di Ling pointed to.

"I'll go get some too. Vangelica's stuff is not cheap." Arturo also made a request to Miku.

It looked like he was planning to pay, and pay in cash... This behavior was very consistent with Arturo's style as a wanted criminal.

"Yeah." Miku did not refuse Arturo's initiative to pay the money.

Because all the things that needed to be purchased along the way, such as tolls at the post station and hot dogs, were paid by this maid.

Because Arturo took the VIP channel, she and Di Ling walked out of the bank soon after.

The difference is that Di Ling carefully covered his pockets when he walked out, while Arturo just carried a bag and was presented to him by a bank manager in a suit and tie.

Just as the two men walked towards Miku who was enjoying the breeze outside the car, Miku, holding a lollipop in his hand, looked up at the sky.

The two people who didn't know what Miku was looking at also subconsciously raised their heads, and then they saw a figure falling from the sky in the form of free fall, and with a "bang" the ground was dyed a layer of red paint.

The bank manager who was seeing Arturo off hurried over.

"..." Miku turned his head to look at Christen who was leaning against the car body with him.

"It should be a futures bankruptcy." Christen took a look and said without paying any more attention.

"Playing with leverage?" After hearing Christen's answer, Miku immediately nodded in understanding.

"Ticalendo is an important resource city in Colombia, and many futures deliveries take place here," added Kristen.

"Yeah, I understand." Miku nodded.

In Terra, each mobile city is relatively independent, and information communication between them is very difficult.

It is quite normal for futures delivery to be carried out directly at the place of production.

Compared to Arturo's calm expression, the Earth Spirit was obviously frightened by the flying man.

It took her a long time to recover in the car.

After recovering from the shock, Di Ling took out two stacks of banknotes from his tightly covered pocket, handed them to Mi Ku and said:

"This is the reward for saving my life."

"?" Miku was surprised for a moment and then he remembered the reward that the earth spirit mentioned when he rescued him.

Miku took the green and blue bills without refusing and said:

"Okay, then this cause and effect is over."

The earth spirit did not know that her ordinary behavior meant that after her death, she would not have to repay the price of her life for this cause and effect.

If there is nothing else, then this thing is basically the soul.

It's not that Miku took the initiative to ask the earth spirit to offer his soul in exchange for saving his life, but basically everyone who was saved by Miku would be subject to this cause and effect.

This was just like the promise Miku had made when he borrowed those wreckages when he first arrived in this world.

"?" Christen was a little confused as to why Miku answered so formally, because she remembered that she was also saved by Miku.

Without explaining these things, Miku looked at the two completely different currencies in his hand and asked curiously:

“Are these all Colombian currencies?”

"The green ones are Colombian currency, and the blue ones are Lungmen coins." Christen introduced after her attention was diverted.

"Longmen Coin?" Miku asked curiously.

"The currency issued by the mobile city Longmen is considered an international currency and can be used in most places in Terra."

Kristen explained the difference between the two currencies.

"Oh, international currency, is that Longmen very powerful?"

Miku said in surprise.

"...Longmen Coin can become an international currency because Longmen City is a neutral trading city where you can buy almost all goods on Terra."

Kristen, who knew why Miku said Longmen was powerful, explained.

"…Isn't that enough? Are there no other countries that want to get involved? This is an exaggerated strength."

Miku wondered.

Terra is a civilization system that is isolated from each other, and almost every large settlement is a semi-island.

In this civilization system, a set of internationally recognized currencies will be issued.

Without sufficient strength to back it up, even the most foolish ruler would not hand over his lifeline, which could be harvested at any time, to others.

"Longmen should be considered the territory of Dayan." Kristen said hesitantly.

Christen was not very clear about how Longmen Coin became an international currency. If it were Justin who came, he would definitely be able to explain it clearly to Miku.

Fortunately, Arturo once again helped President Kristen:

"The current Lord of Longmen, Wei Yanwu, was once the eldest son of the Great Yan Emperor and the elder brother of the current Great Yan Emperor."

"Dayan's foreign trade port?" Miku nodded and asked.

"You can even say it's the only one." Arturo gave a very strange smile.

"Well, the bills of exchange of the Thirteen Banks, no wonder they became the universal currency."

The circulating currency of a neutral trading city that has a superpower like Da Yan as its support can indeed play the role of an international currency to a certain extent.

Kristen had previously introduced to Miku that Da Yan was a country that could suppress gods, and that it definitely had military support.

"So what's the approximate purchasing power of this money?" Miku skillfully counted the quantities on both sides.

The blue Lungmen coins are exactly fifteen thousand, but the green Terra version of Daola is not so neat.

It seems that Di Ling withdrew all the Colombian currency from his account.
