SIAS Chapter 289.1

Having this common item trading card didn’t mean that she was all set.

Each trading card can only be used to trade one type of item. If she wants to exchange for something else, she has to buy another trading card, which costs a huge sum of 5 sign-in points each time.

Moreover, these 5 sign-in points are not for buying things; they only buy her the right to purchase.

Even if she buys the card, she’ll still have to pay the price of the item later, and prices will fluctuate over time, leaving no loopholes for anyone to exploit. Trying to get a bargain is probably out of the question.

If it can be exchanged for anything, it will be quite worthwhile, but the word ‘common’ already limits the scope of its trading.

So, upon careful consideration, she could only use it to buy some paper-folding materials that she couldn’t obtain herself.

There are many different kinds of paper-folding materials. If she were to buy them all with trading cards, even emptying her sign-in points wouldn’t be enough.

Items that can be bought with substitutes on the market or that she can make herself are not considered.

What she really needed was gold and silver paper.

While she can’t buy yellow paper, she can find a way to make some herself. She can grow the necessary materials in her personal space, and the tools can be obtained cheaply using the tool components from her skin cards, which are very cheap.

Gold and silver ingots must be folded using gold and silver paper, and the paper must be of good quality.

However, although both gold and silver paper are used to fold ingots, they are two different types of paper. If she wants both, she will need two trading cards, which isn’t worth it.

Since they’re all ingots anyway, and the folding method is the same, it’s just that silver ingots require less effort. It’s better to just buy gold paper, fold more gold ingots, and burn them; they’ll be more valuable.

After making up her mind, she chose to exchange for the trading card. Then, a new product page appeared in the system shop’s product section. Compared to the product pages for those magical items, this product page was gray and looked somewhat dilapidated, as if it had faded.

Yi Qingqing stared at the character ‘burn’ and fell into deep thought.

Previously, when buying things in the system shop, she paid with sign-in points, which the system directly collected. This time, she had to burn money herself.

Who needs to burn things? The dead, of course.

Is she doing business with ghosts? 

Ghosts can even make and sell gold paper? 

The underworld has far too many businesses involved!

Never mind, with the system backing her up, she can give it a try when the time comes.

Yi Qingqing didn’t care much about the price of 10,000 ghost money per bundle. As a paper craftswoman who could fold gold ingots, ghost money was no problem for her.

She just didn’t know how much a single gold ingot was worth in ghost money. She’d burn some finished gold ingots and see how much ghost money she could get in return.

However, she couldn’t burn the paper money in her personal space; she had to do it outside. Burning it in her personal space would be pointless; it wouldn’t reach the intended recipient.

Everything would have to wait until she got her courtyard house before making any plans.

It just so happened that the delivery speed was fastest during the Ghost Festival (July 15th of the lunar calendar). At that time, just take a basket of gold ingots from the sacrificial offerings and burn them at No. 444, Yinshui Alley.
