Chapter 278 Bone Virtue: Knowledge is PricelessThe items this guy was trying to sell her were all books, and the prices were all in gold coins. It's hard not to suspect that he was doing it on purpose!Seeing the complex expression on her face, Bold added quietly from the side, "Guest, regardless of race or civilization, knowledge is priceless."Pei Hening twitched the corner of her mouth, "You can't just sell books, people who don't know better will think you own a bookstore!"Bone's tone was calm as it said, "Merchants pursue profit."That makes a lot of sense.Pei Hening calculated her balance and asked while selecting books from her shopping list, "Why is Shan Gui's 'The Betrayer' so expensive?"Pei Hening remembered the Mountain Ghost, the guy who disappeared after receiving his royalties, was he... a novelist?But what kind of novel sells for such a high price?Bone said matter-of-factly, "This is a limited edition personally signed by the Mountain Spirit, so it's naturally expensive."Pei Hening paused in selecting books, then looked up at Gu De: "Are all these books personally signed copies?"Gude was surprised that she guessed it and felt a little guilty: "Not all of them are personally signed, there are also collector's editions."Pei Hening: "..."Even if you're trying to take advantage of a bargain, you can't just target her alone. She lost interest in buying books and returned the price list: "Too expensive, I don't like it. Do you have any other items?"Bone was stunned; it never expected that Pei Hening would be uninterested in books!Bone had already finished its work. It was working overtime to come see Pei Hening this time. Before coming, it even dug out its best books to sell to its big client, but it didn't expect that she didn't like them!Scumbag woman!What a scumbag!Its purchasing speed couldn't keep up with her changing of heart.The thought of the unsold books deflated Gu De, and he regretted not working overtime!It took out another price list and handed it to Pei Hening, not even wanting to talk to her. The poor girl didn't know it had put in the effort.Pei Hening received the new price list and saw many new items, ranging from clothing, food, housing, and transportation to entertainment equipment, and even props and skills. However, she was not interested in the props and skills because their levels were too low.She was actually quite interested in something called a "work permit".[Work Permit]: Work is the creative expression of knowledge in the free market. Having a work permit allows you to submit your resume to your desired employers. (Note: As Earth integrates with the wider world, more employers will gradually unlock the option to submit resumes.)She noticed that the [work pass] was a limited edition item, and she could only buy one, so she asked, "Why is the [work pass] a limited edition item?""These aren't disposable items, why are you buying so many?" Bone said lazily.Upon hearing this, Pei Hening turned her head and saw that the commercial limousine and Old Chen had disappeared, leaving only fourteen unattended vehicles and corpses scattered on the ground. Chu Xuange was cleaning up the bodies on the road. "Gege, come here for a moment."Chu Xuange quickly walked to her side, then looked at the dejected homeless merchant, Gude, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?""Here you have a work ID; would you like to buy one?"Chu Xuange was silent for a moment. Wasn't the [work permit] supposed to appear in the next map?Having a [work permit] allows you to submit your resume to organizations registered for survival on the highway, including but not limited to various stations and organizations in the main city of the wanderer. After being hired, you will receive various subsidies. For example, the player they encountered who worked as a cook at a station needed to have a [work permit] to actually get the job.It's important to distinguish between a job and a profession. For example, Titien is a seventh-level cook, but her job is a teacher at a highway school.Also, did the baby forget that he is a semi-illegal resident?Gu De lazily pulled out a price list and handed it to Chu Xuan Ge.
