After leaving the exchange center, Su Mo left all the trivial matters behind.
According to Huang Ya’s current status, it was highly likely that she would have no position changes in the next month.
As long as there were no significant changes in Origin Territory, he could recruit her any time.
Besides, Su Mo wanted to recruit more than one or two people.
Thus, he wanted to slowly gather information and put together a general list of potential recruits, so it would not be a problem to take a little more time.
!!
“Mr. Yang, my cousin is a little silly. Don’t take her words to heart. She has probably seen someone who looked like you somewhere before. That’s why she was spouting such nonsense…”
“It doesn’t matter. Continue to lead the way. Let’s go eat.”
“Alright.”
In a small exchange of words, the “misunderstanding” was resolved.
They followed Huang Bing to the so-called Main Peak Guest House. On the way, Su Mo carefully observed the nearby buildings. He reached his hand into his right pocket and constantly fiddled with the steel coins.
The coins were smooth and had no rough surfaces as he would have imagined.
On the larger eight pieces of steel, Su Mo identified the Huaxia character on the coin as “10.”
The other two remaining two steel coins had the Arabic number “1.”
It was abnormal to have two different representation methods appear on the currency on coins from the same source.
After playing with the coins in his pocket, Su Mo took them out and carefully inspected them for a while.
Su Mo was stunned and put the Origin coins into his pocket again, no longer fumbling with them.
Although he was reluctant to admit that the precision of the manufacturing capability of Origin Territory had greatly surpa.s.sed Heaven’s Origin’s Hope Village.
However, the facts were right before him, and there was no way to refute them.
The Origin coins were made from a very simple material. It was produced by cutting an iron block, grinding it, and burning it into shape. There were few advanced techniques involved in the process.
However, this was enough to prove a few facts.
Similar to an advanced lithography machine that had mastered manufacturing chip processors in the era of civilization, there was no need for any fancy operations. They could easily use 5 nanometers to produce chips. That alone was enough to show the significance of their production technology.
The same was true for the Origin coins.
Initially, Su Mo thought about the possibility that other people would replicate and reproduce the coins to obtain the territory’s public resources.
After obtaining the coins, Su Mo immediately dismissed the possibility.
Su Mo could tell there were not many bulges or depressions on the entire steel sheet. Without overthinking it, he knew that it had to be manufactured with special precision machinery.
It would be hard and require advanced technology to duplicate the manufacturing precision of the coins.
The process alone was worth more than the resources gained from it.
‘Is the new territory lord trying to show off?’
Su Mo followed Huang Bing into Main Peak’s Guest House as he carefully thought about it, sensing that something was bizarre.
No matter how precise the production process, there would surely be a way to replicate the coins if there was a manufacturing template.
It would not take long—probably a month or two—for large amounts of counterfeit coins to circulate on the market.
Coupled with the corruption of internal personnel, the fragile and vulnerable market was bound to collapse easily.
The mysterious territory lord would have definitely considered it, yet he still insisted on doing so.
‘What is he thinking?’
Based on the clues at the moment, Su Mo was unable to find a breakthrough.
He was also a territory lord and had thought of such implementations before, but he was unprepared to see someone else doing it.
With the current information, the only thing that he could do was continue to look for new information.
After a while, Su Mo put away his excess thoughts.
He decided not to think about it too much for the time being, and it would not be too late to discuss it with Feng Tianmin and the others when he returned to the hotel.
…
They walked through another three streets, and Huang Bing, who was leading the way, finally slowed down.
“Mr. Yang, would you like to go to a private room or…”
The building was worthy of being the best guest house in Main Peak. From a distance, there was a clear difference between the construction and surrounding stone houses.
At first glance, not only was the appearance more sophisticated, it was at least three stories tall and heavily decorated.
There were four buildings connected from left to right, south to north.
On the door of the stone building in the middle, there was a wooden signboard with three large Huaxia characters on it.
Main Peak Restaurant.
Under the signboard, six waiters stood in a row, constantly greeting the customers that came and left.
It was clear that business was quite good and it had a larger crowd than other places along the way.
“We can dine in the common area. We’re just going to have a quick meal.”
Glancing at the wooden sign held by one of the waiters, Su Mo chuckled and decided.
There were four parts to Main Peak Restaurant.
The first three areas were open to the public, and customers were allowed to order food and dine inside, no matter how much was spent.
The other last area was for private rooms, which had eight separate s.p.a.ces.
The minimum spending had to be at least 50 Origin coins to dine in a private room.
It was not that Su Mo could not afford it, but it was unnecessary.
