"Where, where have I seen it before?"
Shen Jin paced around the bedroom. He kept feeling that he had seen some kind of currency that was hard to copy somewhere.
"Seen what? Someone with the skills to make currency? People like that are very rare. It isn't a conventional profession. Apart from special government departments that train them, you simply won't find them anywhere else."
"No, no, I'm thinking... I might be able to make it myself..."
"That doesn't seem very realistic, does it? You know, besides being difficult to imitate, credit-backed currency also needs to be durable, resistant to dirt, cheap to produce, and so on. Otherwise, it'll be nothing but trouble once it's issued."
"Let me go look."
Shen Jin went to his workshop and searched through the pile of machines by the wall one by one.
"Extractor? Pulverizer? Solar Still? Compressor? Huh! Could the Compressor compress gold coins?"
Shen Jin tried it. It could turn [gold ingot] into [compressed gold ingot], but... that was fucking useless!
Shen Jin barely had any gold in the first place!
"Metal Forming Machine? Yes! This is it!"
Shen Jin finally remembered that one of the [Metal Forming Machine]'s functions was making [Industrial Credits]!
Whether back when he played the game or later when he made all kinds of materials himself, Shen Jin had never used this function.
Making [Industrial Credits] was very simple.
First, roll a [iron ingot] into a [iron plate], then roll the [iron plate] into [Iron Machine Casing ×2], and then cut the [Iron Casing] into [Industrial Credit ×30].
That way, one [iron ingot] could produce 60 [Industrial Credits].
The [Metal Forming Machine]'s control console was very complex. He could manually select three modes and also adjust the positions of materials that needed rolling, cutting, or extruding.
