In stark contrast to the crowded counter for exchanging physical vouchers for account credits, the counter for depositing physical vouchers into accounts was completely empty.
Tang Li walked over directly, carrying her handbag.
“Hello ma’am, the exchange counter is over there.”
Before Tang Li could speak, the staff inside reminded her.
It seemed that many people had already tried to exchange physical vouchers at this counter this morning.
Tang Li smiled and said, “I want to deposit general vouchers.”
As she spoke, she placed the handbag on the counter and opened it.
Inside were 6,000 national general physical material allocation vouchers, divided into 60 stacks of 100 sheets each, with a face value of 100 points each, totaling 600,000 points!
The staff member, upon seeing this, looked at Tang Li with great surprise.
Although these 600,000 points were not a significant amount in Jiangcheng, in the current situation, someone was willing to deposit so many physical material allocation vouchers into their account, which surprised her greatly.
“Please wait a moment, I’ll go get our manager!”
The staff member politely said to Tang Li before quickly leaving.
In addition to the 855,000 general vouchers deposited into her space when she left City A, Tang Li had also exchanged the local limit of 18,880 general vouchers in the seven cities she passed through on the road, totaling 132,000 points.
This was how Tang Li accumulated over 987,000 general vouchers in her space.
And the 780,000 points in Tang Li’s account when she left City A, plus the 855,000, 874,000, 883,000 points… copied from her space while passing through seven cities on the road.
These constituted the more than 7.16 million points in her material allocation voucher account.
If all the more than 987,000 general vouchers in Tang Li’s space were copied, combined with the more than 7.16 million points in her material allocation voucher account, Tang Li would have over 8.15 million points!
Unfortunately, after arriving in Jiangcheng, she had spent a lot of points on purchasing residency slots, renting housing, and investing in roadside stalls…
These points were all general vouchers copied from her space.
In Jiangcheng, vouchers that had already been copied could not be copied again.
Therefore, only a little over 980,000 general vouchers remained in her space that could be copied.
Moreover, Tang Li needed to keep some physical general vouchers for daily expenses and couldn’t deposit all of them into her account.
Thus, she only took 6,000 general vouchers with a face value of 100 from her space, totaling 600,000 points.
This left just over 380,000 points in Tang Li’s space, and her account could hold an additional 7.76 million points in material allocation vouchers.
Shortly after, the manager of the deposit and withdrawal department of Jiangcheng Exchange No. 3 arrived.
Upon seeing the national general physical material allocation vouchers in the handbag, the manager’s eyes lit up.
Currently, too many people wanted to exchange for physical material allocation vouchers, and the printing machines had been damaged by the geomagnetic storm. Only previously printed Jiangcheng vouchers and previously deposited general vouchers could be exchanged, and the quantity was insufficient.
Even though the general vouchers were limited to 100 sheets per person per denomination, the sheer number of people exchanging them was overwhelming!
Managers like them were struggling to cope with this issue.
Unexpectedly, someone had come to help when they were most in need.
He quickly stepped forward and said to Tang Li, “Hello, I am the manager here, my surname is Zhou.”
“Your amount is quite large; shall we discuss it in the VIP lounge?”
Fearing that Tang Li’s general vouchers would be seen by those queuing to exchange for physical vouchers, the manager quickly said to Tang Li.
Tang Li had no objections and followed him to the VIP lounge.
If Tang Li had given these 600,000 general vouchers to the people queuing to exchange for physical vouchers, they, in their panic, might have been willing to offer material allocation vouchers far exceeding 600,000 points to exchange with Tang Li.
But Tang Li was unwilling to do so.
She knew that the current panic was temporary, and the authorities would soon restore the operation of the material allocation voucher accounts.
While taking advantage of the situation now might indeed yield more points, it could also offend some people.
This was unnecessary for Tang Li.
Upon arriving at the VIP lounge, Manager Zhou had people count the general vouchers Tang Li brought.
Tang Li also presented her ID card and the now-expired A City VIP card.
After Manager Zhou had someone check Tang Li’s account information in the protected equipment, he said to Tang Li:
“Ms. Tang, your account balance is 7.163 million points, and the counted general vouchers are exactly 600,000 points. Your account balance will now be changed to 7.763 million points.”
Hearing this, Tang Li took out another 7,000 points from her pocket and said, “Then deposit another 7,000 points, to make it a round figure, 7.77 million points.”
Manager Zhou’s mouth twitched at Tang Li’s words.
