Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

It was only after they arrived at the inn in the Inner City of Smelting City that Gu Changsheng had no choice but to feel grateful that, damn it, they’d had the sense to eat first on that street outside the City Gate in the Outer City before coming over. What a wise decision that had been!

Because in the Inner City of Smelting City, Gu Changsheng truly got to experience the sorrow of being a money‑loving rich bastard who couldn’t even check into an inn properly!

”Do you people have any Smelting Currency or not? If you don’t have Smelting Currency, then hurry up and get out, don’t keep occupying our remaining few rooms. We still need to open for business and wait for later customers!” The Waiter at the inn looked all high and mighty, almost making Gu Changsheng keel over backwards from anger!

Smelting Currency?

What the hell is that?

Gu Changsheng thought to herself, ever since she transmigrated to this era, in her worldview it’d always been: with Gold and Silver you can roam the world without fear. She’d never imagined that one day she would actually hit a wall here in Smelting City.

Not only hit a wall, but even be treated like a penniless pauper and get a taste of a pauper’s待遇!

”In this Inner City of Smelting City, is the currency out there not accepted or what?” Gu Changsheng’s face went dark as she turned to look at her family’s evildoer.

In truth, this was also Zhou Mu’s first time coming to Smelting City. He only had a half‑baked understanding of Smelting City, but hearing his little woman ask that, he still fell into thought and nodded slightly. ”That does seem to be the case.”

They’d never heard of Smelting Currency because they had never been to the Inner City of Smelting City.

They weren’t exactly familiar with the common currency here either.

Hearing this from her evildoer, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help turning to look at Shi Wujue. In Gu Changsheng’s heart, Shi Wujue was basically like a walking encyclopedia; there just didn’t seem to be anything he didn’t know!

”It’s this City Lord’s fault for forgetting to make it clear to you: within the Inner City of Smelting City, all goods in circulation and all currency in use are based on Smelting Currency. Compared to the outside world, it’s like heaven and earth apart!” Shi Wujue’s expression also grew somewhat grave. Before coming to Divine Mount Qilian, he’d actually overlooked such an important issue—that really was a blunder. Speaking of this, Shi Wujue continued, ”Not only is the circulating currency like this, but if you want to pass through Smelting City and head into the depths of Divine Mount Qilian, you also have to pay a sufficient amount of Smelting Currency!”

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu both felt their faces go a bit stiff.

Smelting Currency!

The currency here really was different from the common currency outside. Everything actually had to be measured in Smelting Currency. That alone wasn’t a big deal, but having to pay enough Smelting Currency just to pass through Smelting City—that part left Gu Changsheng totally at a loss!

Because the reason they’d come to Divine Mount Qilian and entered Smelting City in the first place was exactly to go into the depths of Divine Mount Qilian, wasn’t it?

”Why? Why does it have to be Smelting Currency?” Under the Waiter’s disdainful gaze, Gu Changsheng irritably scratched her head.

Damn it, since ancient times, all circulating currency has been based on Gold and Silver. Even when paper money appeared, Gold and Silver as precious metals could still act as currency and circulate. How come this long‑standing practice suddenly doesn’t work anymore here in the Inner City of Smelting City?

Gu Changsheng honestly couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard she thought!

”As for why, you’ll have to ask the Jin Bao in Yuan Bao’s arms, because this rule is said to have been set early on by the Lord of Smelting City...” Hearing her, Shi Wujue shrugged, that world‑shocking face full of helplessness as he spoke, without the slightest hesitation dumping this black pot onto the true culprit!

Hearing that, Gu Changsheng’s sharp gaze immediately slanted over at Baby Jin Bao.

Baby Jin Bao was nestled in Yuan Bao’s arms, comfortably snuggled up.

Yuan Bao was great—round and jade‑smooth and wonderfully fleshy, such a warm embrace. Compared to being carried by the back of the collar by Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu, Jin Bao curled up in Yuan Bao’s arms and was just way too comfortable. This soft, fleshy hug was truly warm; he loved it...

But just as Jin Bao was happily indulging in the warmth of that embrace, he suddenly felt a hostile gaze directed his way. He turned his head and immediately met Gu Changsheng’s man‑eating expression. Jin Bao shivered on the spot...

”W‑what’s wrong?” He’d only been enjoying a bit of happiness in Yuan Bao’s arms—was that a crime too?

Baby Jin Bao was sure that this time he really hadn’t done anything wrong at all, so how had he managed to make this walking disaster unhappy again?

”In the Inner City of Smelting City, what circulates is Smelting Currency?” Gu Changsheng fixed her gaze on Baby Jin Bao and asked in a low voice.
