Chapter 230 I have to save money now!
He led people through the streets with familiarity, and found the "Gold-Inlaid Tavern" with a golden pattern on the sign. Sam couldn't wait to push open the door.
Before people entered the tavern, they could already hear the bustling sounds inside.
Several bright [Illumination] light balls hung on the ceiling of the tavern, illuminating the room.
Those taverns with candles, oil lamps or fireplaces, especially in summer.
At night, either the light is too dim to see the environment;
or the heat from the fireplace makes you sweat, and the whole tavern is filled with a strong smell of sweat.
The convenience brought by magic in the Gold-Inlaid Tavern is extremely significant.
The light balls formed by arcane energy not only do not generate extra heat, but also have a more stable brightness.
When Sam came back last time, he was the only guest in the tavern.
It was less than a week later, and the tavern was full of people in the evening!
Some tables and stools originally designed for 4 people to sit on even squeezed 7 people!
Shoulders to shoulders, legs to legs, although the space was uncomfortably small, this difficulty could be overcome and tolerated in front of the rich food and drinks on the table!
The adventurers were all feasting, or holding their glasses and talking loudly, boasting loudly about their foresight, or praising this new territory.
The popularity of the Gold-Inlaid Tavern was so hot that Sam and his friends even had to queue up for a seat!
After patiently waiting at the door of the tavern for a long time, Sam was tempted by the constant aroma of food, and finally got a table.
He rushed into the tavern impatiently.
The adventurers at the previous table were "checking out".
But the way they checked out was very strange to Sam:
The other party directly took out the ID card with personal information from his arms and handed it to the waiter who came over after hearing the sound.
"Several guests have purchased 2 portions of bread, 1 portion of vegetable stew, 1 portion of bacon and ham, plus 6 cups of beer, for a total of 1 silver and 20 copper coins. Do you want to pay for all of them?" the waiter asked skillfully.
The adventurer gave a positive answer.
"Okay," the waiter took the ID card, glanced at the information on it, and immediately returned it to the other party, while announcing: "Congratulations! You have received a discount of 4 copper coins this time!"
Then he bowed slightly politely.
"Please take care, welcome back next time! I wish you a happy life in Xiwei Territory!"
The adventurers at the previous table left happily with a burp.
Sam was beside him... and was stunned again.
He found out that since he discovered the magical new territory of Xiwei Territory, he has been stunned more times in the past few days than in the past year combined!
There are too many incredible things happening here!
You don't have to take out your wallet to pay for the bill?
Just show the ID card to the waiter?
How is this done?
When the adventurers were ordering food, Sam couldn't help but ask the waiter next to him:
"Just now... how did the guests at that table... uh, pay when they left?"
The waiter was not surprised by such a question and immediately introduced enthusiastically:
"Ah! You said this, it's very simple!"
"Guest, this should be your first time in Xiwei Territory, right? Please allow me to take up a little of your time to introduce you to the most convenient and excellent service here-Xiwei Savings!"
"As long as you deposit your cash into Xiwei Savings, your ID card will also be registered with your deposited funds. All places with the "Territory Direct Operation" license can directly show your ID card to complete transactions and settle bills!"
"When you pay, your balance in Xiwei Savings will be automatically deducted. You don't need to carry your wallet around, let alone worry about being stolen, robbed or accidentally lost."
Sam was stunned.
As long as you deposit money in Xiwei Savings, you can use your ID card as money?
"I only order a glass of beer, and I can also use my ID card to pay?" Sam confirmed.
The waiter replied enthusiastically: "Of course!"
As if to dispel Sam's concerns, the waiter emphasized:
"Guest, if you are worried, you can just deposit a few silver coins into Xiwei Savings. Xiwei Savings does not set a lower limit for deposits. Even if you only deposit 1 copper coin, we will keep it properly in your vault!"
Sam exclaimed in surprise.
The two gold banks in the Kingdom of Reyak require a minimum deposit of 5 gold coins, otherwise the bank will not open an account at all.
Xiwei Territory is as outrageous as ever.
You can deposit a copper coin!
Although I don't know how the people of Xiwei Territory did it, seeing that other adventurers did it and there was no problem, it means that Xiwei Territory must have their own unique way.
The last straw that "crushed" Sam was the waiter's final words:
"Oh! By the way, sir, I just forgot to tell you that Xiwei Savings is holding a random reduction welfare event during the hunting month!"
"As long as you use your ID card to pay, a single transaction of 50 copper coins can enjoy a random reduction of at least 1 copper coin and up to 1 gold coin!"
"Uh...what does that mean?" Sam's cultural level was not enough and he didn't understand.
The waiter gave an example: "For example, the guests at the table just now spent 1 silver and 20 copper coins, and 4 copper coins were randomly reduced, so the actual consumption in the end was only 1 silver and 16 copper coins!"
"If you are lucky enough, you can even get a random reduction to a free bill!"
Sam was completely tempted!
According to the waiter's description, isn't it equivalent to getting the weapons and equipment he bought in the blacksmith shop last time for free?
The upper limit of the random reduction is 1 gold coin, which he can understand!
Although it is very risky to deposit money in a new bank in a new territory and an unknown name.
But he can only save a little money, and even temporarily deposit the corresponding money when he needs it!
Overnight accommodation costs money, right?
Eating and drinking costs money, right?
Maintaining weapons or purchasing equipment costs money, right?
He also plans to take this opportunity to buy some suitable magic scrolls for self-defense, which will definitely cost money.
At most, he will only deposit 4 or 5 silver coins into Xiwei's savings account.
Every time he spends, he can get a discount of at least 1 copper coin. If he accumulates a little, he can save a lot of money!
Sam's money is not blown by the wind.
Every copper coin is earned by his hard work in the dangerous dark forest, hunting various monsters to collect distortion materials, and then selling them to merchants in the border defense camp.
Saving 1 copper coin is also saving!
Now he has to save money!
Sam, who originally planned to stay away from the so-called "Xiwei Savings", immediately changed his mind.
He didn't even plan to eat!
Go to Xiwei Savings to open an account and save money before coming back to eat. If he is lucky enough, maybe he can get this meal for free!
