Ability Users traded directly, either bartering goods or settling with Crystal Cores. But ordinary people couldn't get their hands on Crystal Cores—if they had them, they wouldn't be ordinary anymore.
Thus, transactions among ordinary people were generally conducted using gold and silver as currency.
Gold and silver were naturally of little use to Wang Tao, but since they gleamed attractively, he collected them anyway.
Then there were snacks, tobacco, and alcohol; these luxuries could satisfy cravings and were quite valuable in the post-apocalypse. Cigarettes, in particular, were almost as solid a currency as Crystal Cores.
It was the same old story, no matter what the times, there were always the rich. Ordinary folks might be worrying about what to have for tomorrow's lunch, but some were already indulging in smoking and drinking.
Wang Tao collected all these items and had Xu Xiaojun carry them. Then he turned to Liao Xia.
"Anything else to confess?"
"No more..."
