My Arknights Life Diary

"Hey, Dart, have you brought new people to familiarize yourself with the camp today? Your aunt Gina has made delicious food tonight, remember to come and try it." (Ursus)

"No need, Uncle Victor, you should let little Alito eat more." (Ursus)

Tu Fang looked at the people in the camp who greeted Dart from time to time and felt that this boy was quite popular. Although he could not understand what they said when they greeted him, he could still feel the enthusiasm of the people in the gathering place towards Dart from their words.

"Hey, you two, follow closely, don't get lost again. And Xiaoke, stop staring at the food in my hand. You ate a lot this morning. Are you hungry so quickly?"

Tu Fang turned around and shouted to Guigui and Xiaoke who were attracted by something behind him. The two had been lost once before. Tu Fang and Dart were chatting at the time and did not notice what Guigui and Xiaoke were doing. As a result, the two were attracted by the things on the street stalls and disappeared from Tu Fang's sight in just a moment. By the time Tu Fang reacted, the two had already run away and it was finally thanks to Dart that they were found.

Although Xiaoke and Guigui promised not to run around again after they were found, it is clear that the credibility of this promise is not high when looking at their current state...........

--------------

There was a small incident during the purchase of supplies. The people here did not recognize the common currency, which was something Tu Fang had not expected...

Dart explained that this is because the paper money is not durable or easy to store in the wilderness. People generally use easy-to-store Originium ingots as hard currency. This thing has a stable value and is circulated throughout the land. It is a very good general equivalent. Moreover, Originium ingots now come in various specifications, from as small as ten-gram coins to large ingots of hundreds of grams, suitable for large and small transactions.

Although this is the case, for general transactions, people in the camp usually rely on barter. Only when conducting large transactions or transactions outside the camp will Originium ingots be used.

But Tu Fang was also lucky. A wandering merchant happened to come to the camp recently, and he should be able to exchange some Originium ingots from him.

When they arrived at the tent, Tu Fang asked Xiao Ke and Gui Gui to wait outside and not run around. They both nodded and agreed very seriously, but Tu Fang felt that their response was not very credible.

Dart took Tu Fang into the tent. There was a strange man in the tent. He wore an iron bucket on his head with only a slit on it to observe the outside world. He was wearing a black coat and a cloak. The key point was that this thing had strange tentacles on it. When this strange man saw Dart and Tu Fang coming in, he greeted them and said,

"Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, my friend"

This guy is Kannot, why is he here?

Tu Fang looked at this old friend whom he had met countless times in the pigeon restaurant, feeling somewhat confused and surprised.

Dart spoke in a familiar manner.

"Brother, you still greet me in the same old way. Don't you find it weird?"

"Haha, I've become accustomed to it. Don't mind it, don't mind it."

"This guy wants to exchange some Originium ingots. You have quite a lot here, so it shouldn't be a problem to exchange some, right?"

"Oh, of course my friend, as long as the exchange rate is reasonable, it's okay for this little brother to exchange as much as he wants."

Dart talked to Kannot for a while and then walked out of the tent, leaving Tu Fang and Kannot to talk on their own.

"My dear brother, Dart told me that you don't speak Ursus, but that's not a problem. I also speak Yanguo. Tell me, how much do you want to exchange? As long as the exchange rate is fair, I can exchange as much as you want."

"You are the wandering merchant Cannot, right? I have heard of you, but I didn't expect you to appear in Ursus. I have more than 1000 common currencies here. Excuse me, how much can I exchange for?"

Kannot was a little surprised when he saw Tu Fang revealing his identity. After all, many people knew about him, but not many actually knew his name. This made him curious about this young man.

"Little brother, do you know me?"

"I guess so. I've only heard of you in some places, Cannot, the wandering merchant with an iron bucket, black clothes and cloak, and strange tentacles. I didn't expect to see you here."

"Haha, it seems that my reputation has spread far and wide, but even so, I won't give you a discount."

Cannot seemed to know what Tu Fang was thinking. He was indeed a black-hearted businessman. If it were an ordinary person, he might have given him a discount or something, but in the case of Cannot, he could only say that he was indeed a black-hearted businessman.

In the end, Tu Fang only exchanged for more than 100 grams of Originium ingots. However, according to Dart, these 100 grams were definitely enough. People basically bartered on weekdays. Although these Originium ingots were not many, their purchasing power was not small.

But what Tu Fang didn't notice was that when Cannot saw Xiao Ke when he was escorting him out, he seemed to remember something and went back to the tent to pack up his things...
