Check In System In The 70s

33

It was still so early in the morning when Kiki arrived at the county town. For others, going shopping may not be effective at this time because many stores are still closed. But for Kiki, this situation was not a problem at all. What he was looking for was not physical goods shopping, but rather "check-in" symbols adorned with bold cheques in every corner of the city.

He just needs to get through the location and by saying "check in," everything feels like shopping in the real world.

When Kiki asked the system to detect the symbols, he saw a large number of glowing symbols. Through the experience of several check-ins, Kiki knew that she would not find the same symbol in the same place, because this check-in location was always random.

But still, he had to be careful. Not all check-in locations have prizes that match their points.

"Ah, I don't care. It's not about money, just points" Kiki thought with a laugh.

His first goal today was to go to a regional bank. In this place, Kiki would usually earn some pure money, and if she was lucky, maybe some extra tickets.

"I've learned it. Tickets can only be obtained on certain days, maybe the day when people receive a salary. Wait, isn't today payday?"

Kiki chose today to go to the county town because this is the day when factories and various workstations provide salaries to employees.

"Although the ticket doesn't seem very valuable, but thanks to the ticket, I got my house."

The initial ticket he got when he was first born in this world was all gone. However, the tickets were never in vain, because thanks to them, he got the house.

"Ah, there is.." as he expected, check-in symbols abound at this time. Different from a typical day, on a payment day like this, check-in symbols appear twice as many.

It used to be that the system kept detecting and telling Kiki that some locations were currently worth 2 or 3 points, but today, the average point value is around 5 points, he said, which is the lowest value. That is, the check-in reward will definitely be bigger than usual.

"Why does it feel like I'm shopping while my pockets are getting deflated?"

Previously, Kiki felt 200 more points would be enough to shop around, but after seeing a large number of active symbols, it suddenly felt less.

"Again I had to make a list to organize spending points. Otherwise, everything would have been in vain" Kiki thought with frustration.

It was then, that Kiki felt like a person walking into a shopping mall with thin money in his wallet, knowing that he had to shop wisely in order not to run out of it.

Soon, Kiki makes an important list for her "check-in." It took about fifteen minutes for Kiki to consider those options.

First location with 8 points in Regional Bank.

("Congratulations, check in at the Regional Bank. Get 1000rp, cloth tickets, soap tickets, grain tickets, meat tickets, odol tickets, shoe tickets.")

Second location: Grain Station.

("Congratulations, check in at the grain station. Get a prize in the form of rp100, 5 kg of wheat, 5 kg of rice, 5 kg of corn grain, 5 kg of white sugar.")

"Oh, because of payday, still get rp100. Not bad for 8 points. Okay, next go to Meat Station."

Check-ins.

("Congratulations, check in at the Meat Station. Get rp200, five pieces of beef, 5 kilos of pork legs, 5 kilos of beef ribs.")

Kiki almost fainted hearing that. Ten points turned out to be able to give rp200 and a lot of meat, not only pork, but also beef. In the 70s, cows were not animals to be consumed, but to work.

The third location is of course Co-operative Penitence and Procurement.

Today's check-in prices are also high, 10 points at a time.

("Congratulations, already check-in at the Correction and Procurement Cooperative. Get a gift of rp200, 10 sundries tickets, 10 meters of fabric, a set of kitchen spices, canned fruit.")

"Wow, it's really amazing. Check-in on payday makes all locations give money and in addition to tickets, also can still get goods. In that case, I better collect points in the future and shop again next month. Haha."

However, Kiki's insane shopping results today actually cost him almost half the points he had. However, Kiki was satisfied with the result. Now, he just wanted to stop by the post office again, this time with 8 points.

("Welcome you get the parcel package, rp200.")

"Hahaha, not bad."

"There are 90 points left. Hem, had to stop first to go to the Waste Collection Station and to the state-owned restaurant. Ahh, this time I really want to check in at the state-owned restaurant. Finally, the completion is also today."

Since it was already a bit of daylight, Kiki really had to go to the black market. Unlike some of the other novels, Kiki has nothing to hide her physique. Therefore, he only wore inconspicuous clothes and covered his face completely.

The black market is secret, but not completely. If not, where did the buyers and sellers come from?

To find such a location is quite easy, as the black market also has a check-in symbol. Despite this, Kiki did not want to spend points carelessly, as there were still other things she wanted to buy.

In a special place, there were four old men who were relaxing while playing poker, while four of their dogs were around.

 While this may seem ordinary to many, they are actually guards on the black market. If a group with red banded arms appeared, the dogs would bark as a warning.

It is at this time that people on the black market should be prepared to leave immediately if they do not want to be caught. Groups with red ribbons, also known as red arm groups, are actually made up of young people who are not members of police or government agencies. Despite this, they often interact with the police to report offences they believe were committed by residents.

Official state support made the red arm group benefit from their activity. Therefore, many people were frightened when this group came to raid the black market.

One of the old men there greeted Kiki, "Girl, where are you going?"

"Grandfather, i... I was sent by someone. Can I meet the chairman?" Kiki answered while extending a few cents to the old man, who then kept him in a bag.

"destination?"

"It's. hem, grandpa. Someone said he had a big boar. So..."

The old man nodded and smiled. She sees Kiki, who is only 14 years old, as a little girl who is unlikely to come alone. Although Kiki was fully dressed, her voice and skin revealed that she was still a teenager.

After hearing Kiki's explanation, the old man trusted her and escorted her to the black market manager. Kiki was directed to an empty house that was being temporarily occupied. Kiki was left alone for a moment, while the old man was talking to someone inside the house.

More than 10 minutes later, the old man came back out with a few young adults following him.

"This is You ? Is there really a boar?" asked one of them, still hesitating because the one who came was a little girl.

But the desire to own a wild boar clouded his doubts. Whether it's kids or anyone, what matters is that the stuff is there.

"Sister, there's a boar with big fangs. Still alive and the price is standard. But the price can't be negotiated. It costs 20 cents a kilo. In addition, there are apples about 1000 kg at a price of 3 cents per kilo. If interested, it can be taken now," Kiki said.

Hearing that, the man thought for a while, domestic meat in the supply and procurement cooperative cost 30 cents not to mention with a ticket.

But these calculated pigs are dirty, they're still alive, there's still a head, skin and his innards. So those 20 cents are still comparable plus it doesn't require a ticket at all.

Even more surprising is the apple. The price per kilo is only 3 cents, if outside it reaches 6 or 7 cents plus not to mention added to the ticket.

If you think about it, it is more profitable to buy apples with meat but not many people want to buy apples at such a price.

Still worth trying though.

"Well, we check the goods first, where do we go?" his words without hesitation.

"Come with me Brother "

Soon everyone went to follow Kiki who was his height just as they knew.

Kiki felt anxious about her question, but in the end she decided to answer honestly. Despite her fear, Kiki also realized that she did not need so much meat.

However, if the answer is unsatisfactory, he feels ready to run away as quickly as possible. He knew that if the suspicions were true, he would stay away from this kind of transaction in the future. But if the answer worked, he would probably have a chance to meet again and make more profitable deals.

Using the system, Kiki takes the person to a house that has long been uninhabited by its owner.

"Is it here?"

"Yes, but please wait here for a while, brother," Kiki said before entering the house.

Kiki took advantage of this opportunity to get the big boar out . He asked the system for the pig to be ejected in a fainting state.

Other than the wild boar, there were also 1000 kg of apples he had thought of before. All of this had been meticulously prepared by Kiki.

Once everything was ready, Kiki walked out of the house and allowed people to enter. As soon as they entered the house, they immediately saw a large and fat boar lying there. His fangs alone were the size of a man's thigh.

"It's really life, brother!" exclaim one of his subordinates with sparkling eyes.

"Brother be careful, the word that has a pig just fainted he can wake up at any time" Kiki explained so that everyone was careful.

"Oh, quickly find a rope and tie him" said the man who was like this is the chairman among others.Without being ordered twice all immediately tied the boar with a strong rope.

Although they could kill these boars on the spot, people in the 70s had a different view of food. They cherish every part of an animal that can be eaten, including its blood. Therefore, they did not want to waste this opportunity.

"Well, it costs 3,000 for an apple, while for a wild boar with a gross weight of 412 kilos, I would round it to 8,000. How's it?"

Despite the physically adverse rounding, Kiki felt this was still advantageous compared to if she sold it herself. Finally, they agreed to that price and Kiki received a payment of 11,000.

Although in this modern world, that number might not be so large, at that time it was equivalent to 11 million. Although not equivalent in value in the modern world, with that amount, one could buy a house.

Kiki accepts the money happily and promises to send it to the owner.

"in the future if there is a transaction just look for Brother, whether it is meat or fruit, all is accepted and the price will not harm you" he said with a smile when in his heart Kiki cursed him.

"you've just cut 12 kilos of meat off a horse that's considered a reasonable price, ckckck"

But on the surface Kiki simply said, "i'm just following orders and it's time to hand over the money to get paid"

 The check-in system sometimes gives him a big reward but it won't always be the same, despite the fact that he goes check-in at the pig's nest in the future. Everything can still change.

But clearly when she came out of the black market, Kiki had already turned into the richest girl of the district.
