Indeed, it's this...

Gu Mo's eyes twinkled as he confirmed a suspicion of his own. The functions that couldn't be used during a quest naturally led him to think of such possibilities... As expected, the damn system was no exception. Although the bugs weren't completely fixed until today, the built-in store was absolutely indispensable.

He examined the layout of the system store, and his cheeks couldn't help but twitch slightly. It had to be said, this truly had a certain pay-to-win browser game's style.

Daily Specials...

Limited Edition Packages...

Sign-in Rewards...

The artistic style was similar, with eye-catching effects, large text paired with all sorts of tacky golden light effects, making the entire page exude a sense of "vulgarity." He sighed and first looked towards the corners of the interface, as it was customary to display the player's account balance in those areas.

Usually, it includes the standard "Game Coin"...

And some rare "Premium Currency" that can only be obtained through spending money...

True to form, on the upper right corner of the interface, he saw a small icon with numbers displayed next to it. The first one looked like a stack of piled up gold coins, quite vividly symbolic, followed by a number: "166752."

Behind this number, there was also a small plus sign icon.

The other icon item was a miniature key representation, and the number that followed was naturally: "0."

Gu Mo blinked his eyes, feeling that there was no need to overthink this, with the front one undoubtedly being the standard Game Coin, and the one behind it the premium currency, without a doubt... It couldn't possibly be the other way around; that would be too outrageous.

However, had he unknowingly accumulated over 160,000 Game Coins? It seemed not too bad, although he wasn't sure what specific uses they could have... He thought carefully, believing it likely had stemmed from the recent Dungeon World.

Killing monsters and earning money is a most normal "game rule," and indeed, he could only have earned it from the Dungeon World he recently left. Aside from this, he couldn't think of any other income sources, yet somehow this amount had been accumulated...

The previous dungeon didn't have any, and the one before that didn't have income; instead, he even had a meal, spending a bit.

Hmm?

A flash of recollection crossed Gu Mo's mind, and he paused, hesitatingly recalling the details, his expression subtly changing.

After a moment, he picked up his phone, skillfully swiped a few times, found a mischievous app, and quickly put in an order at a frequently visited shop for some delivery... Mainly because at this hour, not many places were still delivering.

Payment complete, the store accepted the order, and he quietly stared at the phone screen, seemingly waiting for something.

Not long after, a new message popped out, a real-time deduction notification from his bank card—

"[Bank of China**]Your account ending in 7778 completed a transaction of RMB34.00 on June 23 at 5:42. Balance..."

He glanced over it, seemingly nothing different, and the balance in his bank card matched his memory. But when he looked back up at the store panel in the mirror, he noticed that the first Game Coin value had silently changed to 166718 after the exact transaction amount was deducted...

So it really is like this.

Unable to resist a slight tug of the corner of his mouth, Gu Mo looked around, trying to find his wallet, only to remember belatedly that his wallet had been scrapped in the rambles of the Warring States Era, and to be safe, he had personally destroyed the contents within.

After all, it wasn't needed at that time, carrying it around was inconvenient, and there was always the worry of losing it unexpectedly, potentially causing some consequences, so it was better to be sure... Anyway, if he could make it back, renewing them wouldn't be a big issue.

However, having no wallet didn't seem to be a problem. He seriously pondered for a moment, reaching into the pocket of the clothes he'd just put on, concentrating his mind on a certain thought.

Then—

From the pocket that should've been empty, he pulled out a brand new hundred-dollar bill, and then another, and another... Unconsciously, he held a small stack of cash with some thickness, with the possibility of continuing to retrieve more if he wished.

The displayed value in the game account didn't change this time. He tried putting it back, the money in his pocket disappeared, staying just as so.

It seems that there's only a change when an actual transaction occurs, which leads to a true change in amount, Gu Mo nodded with a sense of realization. The current situation seemed to be this: the game account within the damn system had become a general account for him, centrally showing all his "funds."

Whether it's the cash he's carrying or the numbers originally stored in his bank card, it's just a component of this suddenly emerging general account. Moreover, he can, according to his thoughts and understanding, extract and use them in any way within the usable limit?

In other words, it seems to ignore the real-world currency system, is it possible that Game Coins and real-world currency... can actually be converted into each other?
