Five sign-in points were used up in the blink of an eye.
They were all replicas, brand new, but that didn’t mean they were fakes. The materials and craftsmanship were exactly the same as the originals.
Their value was comparable to the originals; aside from lacking the signs of age, they could easily be mistaken for the real thing.
However, after using up these five sign-in points, Yi Qingqing came to her senses.
What good were all these treasures she’d signed in for?
Unless the materials themselves were valuable enough to be disassembled and sold for money, they were only of ornamental value.
Given the possibility that the originals might be stored in the Forbidden City, she wouldn’t even dare to display them directly, but was only able to admire them secretly in her own space.
Keeping them as fakes for future use in her residence was too expensive—exchanging one item for one sign-in point was too costly.
It might not even be as valuable as the jade jewelry she had signed out at the scrap station before.
Was it worth her spending so many sign-in points to sign in for something that was of high value but basically could not be converted into cash and could only be appreciated secretly?
Yi Qingqing asked herself.
The answer was not worth it.
It was okay to sign some and keep them in her personal space for collection, but there was no need to sign a lot in the Forbidden City in order to find treasures and get a quick rich as she had thought before.
If she wanted something that could be converted into cash, she might as well go to a scrap station.
The problem with the Forbidden City’s things was that the historical records were too clear, making them difficult to manipulate.
After thinking this through, Yi Qingqing regained her composure. The Forbidden City no longer seemed so glittering in her eyes.
Sure enough, people are easily tempted when they see something valuable.
Yi Qingqing and her friends took a lot of photos in the Forbidden City. When they were tired, they found a state-owned restaurant specializing in hot pot mutton and had a meal outside. Then they took a bus back to the guesthouse of Beijing University.
The next day, Xie Shiyan sent the film to the photo studio to be developed.
Then they went to the largest department store in the capital together.
This time, they walked past the entrance of the People’s Bank of China. Yi Qingqing certainly couldn’t let it go.
[You signed in at the People’s Bank of China sign-in location in the capital and received RMB 500.]
The banks in the capital were different. They issued more money. Yi Qingqing expressed her satisfaction and made this place her daily sign-in location to accumulate funds in the future.
When she has almost spent all the money she has, she will come here to sign in and get the money.
What job can earn RMB 500 a day these days?
Yi Qingqing felt that with this bank sign-in location, she would be able to live comfortably even without working after graduation.
Even in the next few decades, earning 500 yuan a day will be difficult.
And who knows, as society develops, the money she can earn from bank sign-ins will increase!
Isn’t that the case with the sign-in location at Tieling County Bank?
At first, it was only a little over 100 yuan each time, but later, it was over 300 yuan.
This is the foundation of her confidence in studying traditional Chinese medicine and pharmacy.
Of course, she knows that traditional Chinese medicine is currently undervalued and even discriminated against, and that she will likely face many difficulties in this field in the future.
But as long as she has money, she can overcome all external difficulties and move forward, because she does not rely on others to live, and she does not even need others to pay her salary.
Without employment pressure, she can have more of her own choices.
