Chapter 2118-2.116 Suspicion of Coin Theft
“Now that you mention it, I do remember.” The winged female leader had clearly seen the commemorative coins from Jurassic World before: “There are vending machines for commemorative coins at the visitor center on Isla Nublar (Island A). Could it be the 'dinosaur coins' you mentioned?”
Island A is where Jurassic World Park is located. The "Theme Street," the most bustling area in the park, is comparable in size to a town in Disneyland, with shops lining both sides of the street and the visitor center at the end. Once upon a time, it was teeming with tourists, its popularity rivaling that of Disneyland.
"Probably not." Captain Nine-Tailed knew that the Dinosaur Energy Coin and the Dinosaur Commemorative Coin were definitely not the same coin.
"For a period of time, the 'Dinosaur (commemorative) Coin' was the token used by all three islands." The female leader of the winged people couldn't help but recall the past: "There were many settlements back then. However, with the emergence of the overlord of the three islands, many settlements were destroyed overnight. Because no one traded them, the token also came to an end."
As mentioned earlier, Wu Chen's elimination team entered the fray midway through the competition. More than half of the players who had already participated had fought their way through, and many had been defeated and eliminated. From the perspective of the characters in the story, it was exactly as the winged female leader had described: the large and small settlements (exclusive land cards) were breached, and the characters in the story suffered scripted deaths and were eliminated.
He does not mean that.
Wu Chen immediately sent a message to Captain Nine-Tailed Fox: "Ask her about the circulation of the tokens."
Captain Nine-Tailed then inquired about the past of "Island Currency".
“A merchant organization,” the winged female leader said with a smile. “These itinerant merchants who travel between various settlements were the original holders of the tokens. Because everyone had to trade with them, the tokens naturally began to circulate.”
"Who is the most famous traveling merchant?" Captain Nine-Tailed immediately thought of the young lady.
"Sherlock Lockwood, known as 'Young Lady'." The winged female leader's answer was not surprising.
She is indeed the "deceased" biological daughter of Benjamin Lockwood, the former business partner of the billionaire founder of Jurassic Park, who was born with a terminal illness but was miraculously saved.
Since the topic has come up, Captain Nine-Tailed simply asked the question that had been on his mind all along: "Why would this young lady with billions in assets form a caravan of mad raptors?"
"I've heard that Dr. Wu is the supporter behind the scenes." The female leader of the winged people used an important line of dialogue to connect the scattered plot: "Traveling between the three islands to collect and study more powerful mutant genes to prolong the young lady's life."
"Ah..." That makes sense now.
So the young lady's health is still so fragile that the slightest carelessness could be fatal. It's rare to see her so optimistic, always smiling at every passing caravan member, regardless of whether a fair trade can be completed.
However, Wu Chen simply couldn't connect the young lady with the mastermind behind it all. Whether it was his seasoned intuition as a seasoned player or his scientific judgment based solely on the plot clues he had gathered, the young lady was not the hidden boss of the second level of the Fulong Temple Tower.
However, the development of the storyline involving player intervention is entirely beyond the comprehension of common sense.
"My lord, is it possible..." After all, the Nine-Tailed Fox Captain was a fox demon with a thousand years of cultivation, and there were some things he had to say.
"Possibly." Wu Chen understood, of course, that the young lady was indeed suspected of stealing money.
“These past few days, the young lady’s adorable mad raptor has found quite a few ‘sparkling’ little trinkets in the lower camp.” Captain Nine-Tailed couldn’t possibly be unaware of the young lady’s movements.
"For example?" Wu Chen asked with a smile.
"A blood-restoring needle," Captain Nine-Tailed replied.
"Ah..." Wu Chen understood that these healing needles must have been lost during the "Sunrise Crisis." At that time, those "blood packs" who frequented nightclubs and were repeatedly drained of their blood became asymptomatic carriers of the "vampire virus," transforming into the mutant monster Piaisa during the crisis. During their beast transformation, their clothes tore, their bodies swelled, and the healing needles and blood-orchid needles hidden on their bodies were lost. Most were found by survivors cleaning up the battlefield. As for the few needles that ended up in obscure corners, it was only natural that they were eventually found by the skilled-searching Mad Thief Dragon.
Furthermore, with the complete annihilation of the vampire clan, all the human "blood servants" infected with the "vampire virus" died overnight, and the consumption of healing needles plummeted. At this time, the survivors still frequently trading healing needles could only have one hidden identity: vampires. "Who is the survivor trading healing needles with the young lady?" Wu Chen would definitely press for an answer.
"It's her," the Nine-Tailed Captain pop-up message appeared.
“Ah, it’s Rachel, the female vampire from Blade.” Wu Chen had been paying attention to her before: “Since she needs to use healing needles to replenish her blood regularly, it means she doesn’t drink the blood of survivors.”
“Yes, my lord,” the Nine-Tails captain chimed in at the opportune moment. “She is very restrained. In situations like this, one is either overly cautious or harbors great ambitions.”
Wu Chen succinctly stated, "She has an important mission on her shoulders."
"My lord is wise." Captain Nine-Tailed spoke frankly and without reservation: "Most of the survivors in the camp at this time are three-dimensional powerhouses, so it is almost impossible for them to violently drain blood again."
“That’s true.” Wu Chen then made up his mind: “Keep a close eye on the Blade storyline.”
"Yes, sir." Captain Nine-Tailed immediately carried out the order. The so-called "Blade storyline" actually refers specifically to the branching storylines that characters from the Blade universe bring into their own world. Similarly, the meanings of "RoboCop storyline" and "Alien vs. Predator storyline" can be understood.
Their communication across time always happened in the blink of an eye. At that moment, Captain Nine-Tailed had already arrived at the treasure room deep within the nest with the female leader of the Winged Human Clan.
As the ancient water-powered mechanisms slowly activated, the treasure room filled with "island currency" came into view.
"Nu." The female leader of the winged people grabbed a handful and handed it to her.
"Huh?" Captain Nine-Tails glanced over and noticed the obvious difference.
"Is this what you wanted?" the female leader of the winged people asked hurriedly.
“No.” Captain Nine-Tails picked out two coins: “One is a gilded copper coin sold in the park, and the other is an unknown gold coin.”
"What's the difference?" The female leader of the winged people indeed lacked similar knowledge.
“Gold plating and real gold have completely different values.” Captain Nine-Tailed gave an example: “In terms of cost, the value of one gold coin is equal to 100 copper coins.”
“Ah…” The winged female leader immediately understood: “But there is no difference when trading two ‘island coins’.”
“Understood.” Captain Nine-Tails nodded readily. “So, that’s what’s strange.”
After a moment of contemplation, the female leader of the winged people also realized: "Someone is minting coins with gold on the island."
“That’s right.” Captain Nine-Tails continued to advance the plot through dialogue: “Because of the lack of electroplating technology, we might as well use real gold to mint coins. The problem is, where are there gold mines on the island?”
“The active volcano on Isla Nublar,” the winged female chieftain blurted out.
That's right. The plot of Jurassic World 2 is set against the backdrop of the eruption of the active volcano on Isla Nublar, which is about to destroy Jurassic World Park. So the male and female protagonists team up to go to the island to start the "Cretaceous Noah's Ark" to save the endangered dinosaurs, which leads to the main storyline of Jurassic World 2.
In short, someone is using the gold flow from the lava on Isla Nublar to mint coins.
Perhaps this is a significant plot breakthrough.
