God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains

Chapter 56: Shifting Blame

Renting a place was extremely easy as the only thing that was required was money. As long as the tenant payed money in advance, then they would be allowed to stay.

Kazak empire followed the weekly rent schedule while the Morose Kingdom went for monthly payments.

Keith waited until Vincent found a place to rent and once he moved in, the 10% of the money loot was delivered.

[System Message: 10% money loot delivered. Total amount delivered is 10,400 Moros.]

Moro was a standard Morose Kingdom's currency. They had rich gold mines and access to many other metals other than silver, so they took inspiration from Kazak Empire and created a standard paper money called Moro.

Each one was equivalent to half a Zen or 10 Brak coins.

The smallest currency was literally called a bronze coin and it's value was the same as 1 brak. As for the one above Moro, they used gold coated coins instead of notes and each one of the gold coins was worth 2 Chrons. Your next chapter is on M V L

Thanks to this, the most commonly used currency in the Morose kingdom were the bronze coins and Moros.

While Kazak Empire made notes of different values such as 1 zen, 5 zen and 10 zen, the Morose Kingdom stuck with just one and that was the Moro note which did not have any number on it.

As for the reason why the old man at the arena accepted the 1 brak coin from Vincent, it was because the weight of 1 brak coin was the same as 1 bronze coin.

On top of that, the gladiator arena had a lot of nobles as regular spectators and these nobles payed with braks instead of the kingdom's bronze coins but when it came to Zens and Chrons, no one from the Kingdom accepted them.

Even the rent of Vincent's current house was paid with Braks.

When it came to the brothel that scammed Vincent, they did indeed take the Zen notes but they didn't bother trying to ask for Moros as they didn't want the knowledge of their scam to spread outside.

Their target, Vincent might have been dumb enough to fall for it, but the locals would easily put two and two together. Why risk exposing themselves when they could just stock up on Zens from tourists and exchange them through back channels.

As for the underground cage's owner who paid Vincent with Kazak currency instead of Morose currency, it was because it shared the border with Kazak Empire and a lot of people in the town accepted both kinds of currency as the influence of Morose kingdom wasn't too strong in Bromburge Town.

As long as the money could be used to trade for various things, they would accept it with open arms.

Vincent also opted for Braks and Zens as this was what Keith had given him.

The moment he saw the five digit number, he felt his head go dizzy. He blinked a few times and rubbed his eyes before taking another good look at the system screen to make sure that he wasn't seeing wrong.

Just as he was in a daze, one briefcase appeared out of nowhere along with four stacks of notes and fell to the floor. Seeing this, he hurriedly opened the and saw it filled to the brim with notes.

"Oh great system administrator, I love you! If there's this much money involved, then I don't mind risking my life again."

Seeing that there was no response, he shifted his attention back to the money in front of him and grabbed a few stacks before smelling them.

"Ahh, I love this. It's time to enjoy myself!" he declared as he pushed the briefcase under the bed and hid 390 Moros under the mattress before leaving the house. After locking the door from the outside, he ran off to have fun, not having even the slightest idea that Keith had just scammed him royally through the play of words.

The quest mentioned 10% of the money stolen, but that just included money.

Top tier merchants, aka the rich ones, converted most of their gold coins into gold ingots. Usually, they kept some just in case, but now that the news of a potential war had reached their ears, they went ahead and converted every last one of their gold coins into gold ingots.

Lady Grace's father only kept the Moros because they were the most used currency after bronze coins. In fact, the money and gold that was hidden in the mansion only consisted of around 20% of his wealth that was in the form of hard money and gold.

If properties and land was included, then that would be another matter entirely.

Thanks to the wordplay, Keith only had to give Vincent 10% of the money that was stolen. Which means, he had managed to steal a total of 140,000 Moros but that was just money.

When it came to gold, there were a little more than a hundred ingots with each ingot weighing 1 kilogram.

[A/N: I'll update the Aux chapter with new currency information so feel free to check it out if it's hard to understand from text.]

Keith saw Vincent run into the streets and switched from video to text mode once again as he had no interest in watching a kid rail skeletons in the form of female humans.

He turned to look at Brandon who had woken up, "I'm hungry."

"I'm hungry too..." he replied before whispering, "Why don't you push Amelia to me and go ask Edward to stop for food?"

Keith knew what Brandon wanted but he didn't feel like listening to him as he understood how much Amelia wanted to stay away from him. Especially when it came to getting physical.

"Sure." he said and immediately shook Amelia awake, pissing her off in an instant but before she could do anything, he put the blame on Brandon.

"Not me, it's Brandon. As the head detective, he ordered me to tell you to use his shoulder to lean on while you sleep. I'm just following orders." he said innocently, directing her anger towards Brandon who looked absolutely betrayed.
