<h4>Chapter 681 - Vending Machines!</h4>


    Tim posted down all the facts about money within the Pyno continent, and soon... his eyes quickly lit up.


    Now, he had a rough idea of where Landon was going.


    But he still decided to wait for Landon’s response first.


    "Alright... so, how does the machine knows to send back the fakes and keep track of what people paid in?


    Well... since you roughly understand how the machine handles paper money, then let’s focus on coins.


    Firstly, this machine will be able to decipher coins with pinpoint uracy.


    Once a coin drops in, light sensors will measure its size.


    And following that, electromas will detect the metal type... which will identify the coins in split seconds.


    So if someone drops anything other than gold, copper or silver, the machine will reject it.


    And if the size isn’t within the specified range, the machine will also reject it as well and sort it out into columns.


    With that, the fakes will get sent to the reject chute and returned to the customer immediately.


    And when change is due, the machines will make calctions and conversions.


    And from there, the column will release one coin at a time.


    As for gold, even though itisn’t a metal... It can be maized by applied some pressurized heat at a certain temperature.


    But we have to do so in a way that is fast and doesn’t affect the shape of the coin.


    So the vending machine design takes care of that part too."


    "Ahhh... I see your majesty.


    In that case, I suggest that we don’t permit any gold coins from getting into the machines.


    Firstly, 10,000 copper coins would equate to 1 gold coin.


    So if people kept putting gold coins in for a snack that costs just 1 or 2 copper coins, then I think that the machine may not even have enough change to give other customers by the end of the day.


    At least, let’s limit it to silver and copper coins, as 100 copper coins equals 1 silver coin.


    No!


    You know what, let’s just leave it at copper coins!" Tim said helplessly.


    When he thought about it again, he couldn’t help but feel that the best solution for now was to limit it to copper coins only.


    If someone used a single silver coin to buy something worth 2 copper coins... then wouldn’t that mean that the machine would have to dispense 98 copper coins to the customer as change?


    Then what of gold coins?


    At that point, they might be refilling and recharging the vending machines every 2 hours then.


    Because the copper coins in the system might undoubtedly run out.


    Nope!


    It was better to limit it to just copper coins.


    .


    "Hmmm... I agree.


    Indeed!


    It would be best if everyone stuck to copper coins.


    Luckily, within the cruise sh.i.p.s, Landports and seaports, there are ces where one can exchange currencies or money.


    So if they only had silver or gold coins with them, they could go there and exchange 1 or 2 silver coins for the copper coins.


    As for paper money, it isn’t a big deal.


    So all Bays will be epted into the machine."


    When it came to Bays, there wasn’t a huge exchange discrepancy like that of coins.


    Baymard had a ’1-Bay paper bill’, a 5-Bay paper bill, a 10, a 20, a 50 and a 100-Bay paper bill.


    So there were many paper bills that made money exchange easier whenpared to that of coins.


    Tim listened keenly to the other aspects within the vending machine and felt that this machine was a next-level thing.


    One should know that at times, people didn’t like lining up in stores just to get some snacks.


    And at times, going to the stores during breaks might make e... especially when there was traffic.


    But if these machines were acted in schools, businesses and even on the streets, several people would at least lower their hunger or thirst for the time being.


    Even he would be pleased with how convenient these machines were.


    Additionally, the machine also added ie to each establishment too.


    With hungry soldiers, students, workers and tourists... these machines would be a stopping point to many and would undoubtedly yield thousands of Bays weekly.


    Even those on cruise sh.i.p.s that missed dinner time, could still get a few snacks and drinks out if they didn’t have enough money to order room service.


    It was better than starving.


    In short, there were so many benefits from it that Tim felt like it should’ve been one of the first things that got invented this year.


    As for the snacks, drinks and delicacies that would be ced in them, Tim looked at the list and was thoroughly pleased.


    Well, there were so many varieties of goods from snacks, drinks, doughnuts, and so on.


    Well, now that he had everything in hand, he would have to first study the design in detail alongside his majesty.... before hiring and teaching others to begin manufacturing them.


    Unlike Tim, Landon was more impressed with the vending machines design.


    It was a whole better version of earth’s vending machine thanks to the system.


    And it could also do a whole lot more.


    For example, it even found a way to separate good coins even though gold wasn’t a maic.


    But even though it was more advanced, its underlying principles were still the same.


    .


    "Your majesty, how soonest do you want this projectpleted?"


    "Around the same time that it takes toplete the Pac-Man project.


    This one is fairly easy whenpared to that, and you all already have all the skills needed in making these vending machines.


    So it shouldn’t take too long."


    "Hmhm... I think so too your majesty.


    We started Project Pac-Man within thest week of March.


    So by the first week of October, we should’ve finished the 8-month long project.


    And by then, we will also have the vending machines ready to go too.


    Again, aquarium construction should be done by then too."


    "Hmm... that’s good.


    When aquarium construction is done, those guys will focus on filling up the tanks with fish and other water creatures for the next 3 months.


    But of course, that won’t be your duty.


    Anyway, the aquarium should be opened sometime in January." Landon said while stroking his chin.


    In his mind, all he was thinking about, was the system’s rewards.


    There were 4 rewards he was looking forward to specifically.


    Firstly, he would be rewarded knowledge on everything involving 90’sputer systems and Wi-Fi connectivity.


    Again, he would be able to create Wired Earphones and Music pods or small phone-like walkmans.


    And he would also be able to create Game boys.


    But that wasn’t all.


    Last but not least, he would get knowledge on how to properly create animated movies.


    So how could he not look forward to these rewards?


    Aiy!... Baymard’s future was really bright!


    .


    But while Landon was busily thinking about the future, several inws of his had finally arrived at Baymard.


    "Dear, don’t forget!


    You all just do your best to seduce that boy from that b**ch, Launchy."


    "Mom!


    How many times do I have to tell you?


    Her name is Luby."


    "Fine! Fine! Fine! Fine!


    Just do your best!"


    "Of course!


    Which man can resist my charms?


    I’d like to see how faithful this king is to that b**ch!"
