When Chen Qiang fled to Shanghai, he relied on being a newspaper boy to support himself. After all, he went to school to learn to learn words, so he still had a very advantage in being a newspaper boy.

After all, Shanghai was the most prosperous city in China at that time. It had a large population and a large market. It also had many newspapers. It also had many people reading newspapers. Although being a newspaper boy was the most deductible job, at least he could have a meal and not starve to death on the streets.

"It's decided that I'll go to the newspaper as a newspaper boy tomorrow morning. I have to live in this old Shanghai!"

After Chen Qiang made up his mind, he walked to the corner of the straw shed and dug for a long time, and dug a silver dollar, which was an eagle ocean.

This silver dollar was the savings of the previous "Chen Qiang". He fled to Shanghai for several months and saved up such a silver dollar.

Then Chen Qiangyou took out a few silver slots and a copper plate on his body.

"This is equivalent to how much money..." Chen Qiang began to search for his previous memories, and he wanted to understand the value of currency in this era.

Before the "two-dollar change" in 1933, China still used gold and silver as its main currency, and the use of currency was very chaotic. Various currencies were mixed together, and the conversion was even more complicated. If the mathematics was not good, if you could not settle the accounts, don't go out to buy things, so as not to be cheated.

Bulk transactions such as buying houses and land use gold, while the main liquid currency on the market is silver dollars, which is commonly known as "ocean".

At that time, there were many types of oceans. For example, the Guangxu Yuanbao cast in the Qing Dynasty was made of a dragon, so it was called "Dragon Ocean" because it was engraved with an eagle; the silver dollars in Mexico were called "Eagle Ocean" because it was engraved with an eagle; the silver dollars in Britain were engraved with a standing statue of Queen Victoria, so it was called "Standing Ocean"; the silver dollars in Britain were engraved with a standing statue of Queen Victoria; the one with a head of Mr. Zhongshan, the one with a head of Yuan Shikai, the one with a head of Yuan Shikai, the one with a head of Li Yuanhong, and various silver dollars.

These silver dollars contain sterling silver, all of which are six cents and four cents and eight cents, so the value is the same, and they are all used as "one yuan".

In addition to silver dollars, there are also various auxiliary coins. For example, "Silver Gate", which are auxiliary coins minted by silver, divided into three types: one cent, two cents and middle circles, one yuan is equivalent to ten cents.

There are also nickel coins and copper coins. There was only one type of nickel coins in the early Republic of China, which were nickel coins of five cents, and copper coins had two cents, one cent, five cents, two cents and one cent. Ten cents were one cent, ten cents, ten cents were one cent. After the two were abolished and ten cents were issued nickel coins.

In addition, there is also copper coins, which is what we commonly call copper plates. This copper coins are not the kind of round square hole coins, and there is no hole in the middle of the copper coins of the Republic of China.

There are two types of copper coins, namely, ten copper coins and twenty copper coins. According to the "National Currency Regulations" at that time, one silver coin was exchanged for 300 ten copper coins and 150 twenty copper coins. One was exchanged for 100 texts for 100 texts for copper coins, and one was exchanged for 200 texts for copper coins.

Calculated at this exchange rate, a silver dollar is equal to a round square-hole copper coin of 3,000 textiles.

In fact, because silver is expensive and copper is cheap, silver dollars can be exchanged for more copper dollars.

As for the round square hole money that had been used for almost two thousand years, it had basically withdrawn from circulation by 1929 because this thing was too valuable. Just imagine that 3,000 ounces were equal to a silver dollar. At least a sack of copper coins were required to go to a restaurant for a meal. Then I didn’t dare to order hard dishes. I had to count more than 100 copper coins even if I bought a newspaper. It was really inconvenient.

...

Get back to the point.

Chen Qiang counted and counted the silver dollar, he had a total of 70 cents, three cents and six cents in his hand, which was all his property.

According to the price at that time, if one yuan and seven cents were used for meals, it would save Chen Qiang a little more than a month. But since Chen Qiang decided to be a reward boy, this 7 cents was the capital he bought into the newspaper.

"These money should be enough to get newspapers from newspaper dealers. After taking the newspaper, they must sell them all that day. If the newspapers are not sold, they are all put into their hands, but they will not have the capital to buy new newspapers. Go to bed early today and go to newspaper dealers early tomorrow."

Chen Qiang packed the money and fell asleep. He wanted to have a good rest and get up early tomorrow to sell newspapers.

Within a few minutes, even breathing sounded from Chen Qiang's body, and he had fallen asleep.

...

"The training space is opened..." A cold voice woke Chen Qiang up. He suddenly opened his eyes and found himself standing next to a pillar. Four signs were nailed to the pillar, pointing in four different directions, east, west, south, north and four different directions.

Chen Qiang looked at the sign, and each sign showed a different location.

"The track and field courts, tennis courts, basketball courts, swimming pools, table tennis halls, physical training centers... are all sports stadiums!" Chen Qiang muttered to himself, and at the same time, he saw buildings around him. From the appearance, he should be the sports stadiums mentioned on the road signs.

Chen Qiang walked directly to the nearest building, which was the physical training center pointed to on the sign.

Chen Qiang walked to the door of the physical training center and pushed the door, but found that the door was still motionless.

"Is it locked?" Chen Qiang said in his heart.

At the same time, the cold voice sounded again: "The points are not enough, and the physical training center cannot be used."

"Who is talking? Where did the sound come from?" Chen Qiang shivered in fear, then looked around, but found that there was no one else in sight except himself.

There was no one around, but someone was talking, which made Chen Qiang feel creepy and he felt scared.

"Is anyone? Is anyone?" Chen Qiang began to shout to the surroundings, and his voice became louder and louder. At the same time, he carefully observed the surroundings, but no one answered, and there was no movement around him.

The surroundings were very quiet, but the quieter they were, the more uneasy Chen Qiang became. He instinctively thought it would be better to leave here, so he took a step and walked in another direction.

The building in front is a table tennis hall, and there is also a large table tennis racket at the entrance.

Chen Qiang ran over all the way, then pushed the door, which was still locked.

"The points are not enough, and the table tennis hall cannot be used." The cold voice sounded for the third time.

Chen Qiang shivered again, and at this moment he finally realized that the sound was actually coming from the sky.

The sky is cloudless, with clear blue and sunshine.

"There is no one in the sky." Chen Qiang felt that it was stranger here, and the fear in his heart became stronger. He quickly ran to another venue.

However, when he walked to the door again, Chen Qiang suddenly hesitated. Based on his previous two experiences, every time he pushed the door, the cold sound would sound.

"Try again." Chen Qiang pushed the door of the building.

Sure enough, the cold sound fell from the sky again: "The points were insufficient, and the sports rehabilitation center was not available."

This time, Chen Qiang was prepared, so he was not scared, but showed a "as I expected" expression.

Next, Chen Qiang began to think about the content of the voice.

"This voice says that the points are insufficient and cannot be used, which means that if you want to enter, you must have points, but how should you get these points?"

When Chen Qianggang was thinking about how to obtain this so-called "points", a row of words suddenly appeared on his head out of thin air.

"Where did this thing come out!" Chen Qiang was shocked, and then saw the content of the text:

For beginners, run 10,000 meters, the task completion time is not limited, the task reward: 100 points. Are you accepting it?

"Get points through the task, so that's how it is. This task is to run 10,000 meters. Although the distance is not short, it does not limit the time, which means you can jog slowly. It's very simple and you can accept this task."

The idea of ​​"accepting the task" flashed through Chen Qiang's mind, and the words on his head changed.

During the mission, run 10,000 meters; completion progress: 0%; remaining mission time: unlimited.

"Is this the mission coming? Well, then run. After running 10,000 meters and getting those 100 points, you should be able to enter these stadiums!" Chen Qiang strengthened his courage, then took a step and started running.

Chen Qiang's pace was not fast, he just ran at the speed of his usual morning exercises. After running for more than a minute, he ran about 200 meters.

"The current completion rate should be 2%. " Chen Qiang said in his heart.

As soon as he looked up, he saw the text that appeared above his head. The content was: In the mission, run 10,000 meters; completion progress: 0%; remaining mission time: unlimited.

"The completion progress is still 0%. I should have run 200 meters in this minute! Is the distance too short and not displayed? Or is there a delay in data statistics?"

Thinking of this possibility, Chen Qiang continued to run.

Ten minutes later, the content on the electronic screen is still: in the task, run 10,000 meters; completion progress: 0%; remaining task time: unlimited.

"Is the completion degree 0%? Are you mistaken? Although I didn't run fast, I ran at least 2,000 meters in these 10 minutes, right? Why is it still a 0% completion degree? Is it because the running speed is too slow?"

When Chen Qiang thought of this, he accelerated his pace.

After running for almost 5 minutes, Chen Qiang felt very tired, but the completion rate was still 0%.

Chen Qiang suddenly became angry.

"I've been running for so long, and the task is not completed at all. This thing is not a lie to me!"
