Chapter 3: Star Realm Customer Service

He was already thoroughly fed up with the study similar to the imperial examination. As for the astrologers, the amount of learning required was several times greater. Fortunately, he was still young and had enough time to squander.

Exchanging silver for star coins is the least cost-effective option, as the other party may not regard this as currency

If Cheng Jinzhou had not traveled through time, he would indeed have to worry about these terms for a while. At this moment, he excitedly asked: "What about the silver? And the copper, how is it calculated?"

Coal need not be considered, as the cost is not low with the technology of this era, and the quality is determined by the place of origin. It is certainly not cost-effective to purchase in small quantities. Based on his limited knowledge, coal that produces more smoke definitely generates less heat.

Cheng Jinzhou did not concern himself with the other party's so-called categories, and promptly stated his own requirements: "I need basic application types, ones that are usable in my era, and also, they should be inexpensive"

In the past, the ailing Cheng had saved up several dozen taels of silver as private funds—given his frail constitution, it was indeed not easy for him to spend it. At this moment, all of it became a bargain for Cheng's doctor's degree

Please pay 7.2 yuan. Customer service 010 remains unresponsive.

Regardless of the circumstances, Cheng Jinzhu will not give up such an opportunity. The issue of price, in the face of the present marvel, is truly insignificant. The exchange table can be discussed later, but it is indeed essential to secure this customer service representative.

There is no need to calculate; using currency as a commodity is certainly not cost-effective. Cheng Jinzhu immediately asked, "Who are you? I mean the Star Alliance, the Tuhe - Tu - Library."

2 Star Credits, however, we accept various currencies according to your regional standards... The customer service representative paused for a moment and said: "You can only pay with physical currency, which mainly comes in two forms. In terms of energy, one credit is equivalent to 0.25 tons of standard coal. You may also pay with wood, oil, or natural gas, and of course, direct energy sources like electricity are also acceptable. Additionally, you can use edible resources for payment, where one credit is equivalent to 0.1 tons of grain or half a unit of meat. For the specific exchange methods of other elements and valuable materials, you can purchase the 'Star Alliance Library Exchange Table' for reference, which contains a total of 6,000 characters and is priced at 12,000 credits. You must subscribe to all of it."

Indeed, indeed. Cheng Jinzhu's head was nodding as if it were about to break, his eyes fixed intently on the ring

Cheng Jinzhou immediately asked: "What is the Star Alliance level?"

Cheng Jinzhu did not concern himself with the so-called standard coal and other related matters, but quickly calculated the figures, saying: "All subscriptions amount to 12,000 yuan, which requires 3,000 tons of coal, or 1,200 tons of grain?" He exclaimed in surprise: "Isn't that too expensive? How do I make the payment to you?"

Customer service 010 may not even bother to object, directly stating: "A book that meets the criteria has been randomly selected, with a word count of 3,600 words. Please pay 7.2 yuan"

"If you do not purchase the 'Star Alliance Library Book List', you will only be able to choose random books," the customer service representative stated bluntly 010

Indeed, https://www.hetushu.com. The customer service at 010 suddenly fell silent, even the ethereal flowers and the prince were taken away, clearly indicating that the trial period had ended, which was even shorter than the promotions of unscrupulous markets

This is Customer Service 010 of the Star Alliance Library. I heard that you are willing to pay to read books

Understood. Cheng Jinzhu, in a state of helplessness, made one last effort: "Then you must at least give me a range. I can't ask for something in chemical engineering and receive something in literature instead. Also, what about the publication year? How many years has the Star Alliance been developing on your side?"

Occasionally, Cheng Jinzhu would hesitate; having crossed over once with great difficulty, it seemed he should accomplish something thrilling enough to be recorded in history. However, when he truly wanted to do something, he found himself at a loss, feeling constrained and unsure of how to proceed

Although the little master’s question was strange, Liu'er still bowed respectfully and said: "Brown rice is 400 wen per shi, while wheat is around 350 wen."

Regarding matters outside of transactions

Cheng Jinzhou had no choice but to say, "Whenever I pay, that is when I will have the book to read, right?"

For the younger generation of the Cheng family, there are two realistic paths to take. The first is to pursue the imperial examination route and become a respected civil servant. If one wishes to attain a higher social status, they may also consider entering the sanctuary to become a priest. The Cheng clan holds considerable prestige in the local area, and most of the family members have followed this path.

The doctor did not take out all of his degree; he counted two ingots of silver, took a few pieces of silver and some corners of books, and then neatly put away the remaining items before finally walking out of the house

Cheng Jinzhu's first reaction was to look back, then he quickly covered the ring, blinked twice, and said: "What did you say?"

I know that even those with names are not acceptable, Cheng Jinzhou said softly

After launching the payment program, the user terminal can serve as a medium. To ensure Cheng Jinzhou understands, the customer service representative added, "Your user terminal is this ring."

Cheng Jinzhu had never realized his profound yearning for knowledge; even the disappearance of Hua Huagongzi merely evoked a sense of regret—though beautiful women are plentiful, the Star Realm Library is unique to this world

4 taels of silver can be exchanged for 10 star dollars. Cheng Jinzhu was unsure whether to be pleased with the purchasing power of silver or to feel troubled.

Brown rice refers to rice that has had its husk removed while retaining some of the outer layers of the grain, which is quite different from the polished rice of the 21st century. Cheng Jinzhou was uncertain whether it was appropriate to engage in trade, so he inquired further: "What about the prices of coal and dry firewood?"

There was always a maid waiting outside, who immediately bowed and greeted him. Cheng Jinzhou waved his hand and said, "Liu'er, right? Do you know what the grain prices are outside?"

Customer service 010 stated in a monotonous tone: "The charging standard is 2 yuan per 1,000 characters, there is no public version, a full subscription is required, no discounts, and no promotions."

The Star Alliance Library No. 010 is at your service. What do you need? A heavy male voice suddenly emerged from within the ring.

The customer service representative hesitated for a moment and said: "As for the two items, I will inform you for free in the end. The price comparison for silver is approximately 1 yuan for 50 grams, and for copper, it is 100 yuan per ton"

He naturally had many questions, but the customer service was well-prepared, responding in a formulaic manner: "For information beyond the introduction related to transaction payments, we charge a fee of 20 yuan per minute. Please make the payment in advance"

As for grain, one shi is approximately 50 kilograms, and 20 shi make up one ton. In other words, one ton of brown rice costs 8,000 wen. Although money is cheap and silver is valuable, it still amounts to at least 4 taels of silver

He is only 12 years old now, and his monthly allowance is 4 taels of silver, which is more than many adults. He only hopes to buy two useful books; otherwise, he will definitely incur a loss.

The customer service representative paused for a moment and said: "Given that you are the only user in this region, you may choose the major category of books—content from this star domain"

He still remains obsessed with seeking information

This price is absolutely unaffordable, Cheng Jinzhou quickly interrupted him, saying: "I understand, but you must at least give me a book title."

"Oh, the ring..." Cheng Jinzhou sighed deeply, lying on his bed, rubbing his thumb ring, and muttering to himself: "Just say what you want, whether it's money or a beautiful ring, we can both get what we need. Although the flower boy is not bad either"

Cheng Jinzhou responded with a sound, silently calculating as he walked outside

You can purchase the "Star Alliance Library Book List" for inquiries, totaling 85 million thousand characters, priced at ... ...

What is your name

"It's not telecommunications." Cheng www.hetushu.com.com Jinzhou reminisced for a moment and then said: "What does that previous book 'Flower | Flower | Prince' even count for?"

The future of a star mage is largely determined by the star formations. Although theoretically, anyone can inscribe countless star formations, in practice, they impose a significant burden on the human body, especially the more advanced formations. To effectively utilize star formations, a star mage requires comprehensive knowledge and intelligence. The star formations commonly used by the general public have never been the choice of those from noble families.

This requires you to elevate your Alliance level

Trial version

As for the second path, it is to become an awe-inspiring star sorcerer, much like the little flying beings that Cheng Jinzhou had seen earlier. However, this path demands greater talent and more fortune.

The real world has real laws

For Cheng Jinzhou, he does not wish to take either of these two paths

The trial version is indeed a good-looking but useless item. Cheng Jinzhou shrugged and said, "Then bring me a book on glassmaking, do you have any recommendations?"

The smoke from the coal is too thick, and there is mostly unused stuff at home. Liu Er cautiously glanced at Cheng Jinzhou, unsure when her master started to concern himself with such matters, and remarked, "The quality of the firewood is important; a load costs twenty to thirty wen."

As he spoke, his eyes drifted towards the flowers and the young nobleman. Although the maidens in this world were quite fair in appearance, they were still not as beautiful as the models of later generations, not to mention the completely different levels of exposure.

2 yuan? What currency unit is this? Cheng Jinzhu is quite sensitive to numbers and banknotes
