Xiao Lin coughed a few times after being ignored and raised his hand weakly, asking, "Excuse me, what are New Dollars?"
Both Hank and the student union president shot him a weird look. The president was the first to react and patted his head, unsure whether to laugh or cry. "I almost forgot that you're still a new student. Let me explain briefly. New Dollars are the currency for the New World. It's jointly promoted by all our colonial academies in Planet Norma to replace the chaotic currency system there."
"Can the New Dollar really buy anything?" Xiao Lin was skeptical.
The president smiled and said, "You can rest assured that this is different from redemption points. The so-called redemption points or credits are merely a trading system used by students in our academy, while the value of New Dollars is vouched for by the Supreme Council, which comprises all colonist academies throughout the world. The purchasing power of New Dollars is guaranteed in all colonies."
