Zhang Heng had heard the fishnet-stocking woman who struck up a conversation mention Credit Points back when they were standing in front of the elevator.
Credit Points were the official currency of the Human Federation. Nearly all goods and services were paid for with Credit Points, and Zhang Heng had also checked his current balance on his wristband.
--962 points.
It was neither much nor little. It was clearly not enough to pay for the fishnet-stocking woman's services even once, nor enough for Xu Qian to buy a new bag. But it was not too little either. At the current price of Zhang Heng's beef noodles—25 Credit Points per bowl—962 Credit Points would be enough to get him through this two-week assignment, so long as he spent carefully.
He just did not know whether his salary here was paid monthly or settled after each assignment.
Right beside the little noodle shop where Zhang Heng ate, there was a store selling all kinds of audio equipment. After finishing his noodles, he took the opportunity to look around inside.
"Shellac Record? Never heard of it."
The audio equipment store's owner was a long-haired man with quite an artistic air about him. However, upon hearing Zhang Heng's question, he shook his head. "I don't know what exactly you're looking for, but physical records were basically discontinued back in 2039. Everything's digital audio now, downloaded directly from the internet, and the quality is better too. But..." He paused before continuing, "There are indeed some people who like old things and collect this sort of stuff. I'll give you an address. You can try your luck there."
"Thank you."
After receiving the address, Zhang Heng used the navigation module on his wristband to head there directly. It was a general store called Old Things House.
