Chapter 324 - Strange Thing
Chapter 324: Strange Thing
Himmel Soan’s request shocked everyone. Was he too dumb or too rich? How much money did he have?
Two pills of each kind?
Did he know how many kinds there were?
Over two hundred!
There were over two hundred kinds of defective pills.
It wouldn’t seem so strange if he only bought a couple of defective pills to see their difference from the normal ones. However, he wanted two pills of each kind.
What kind of an idiot would say such things?
“Sir… I mean, Boss! Are you serious? Do you really want two pills of each kind?”
Ton couldn’t believe his ears. He didn’t know if this man was making a joke. Either way, it was very shocking. He had never met such a customer before.
“Yes, two each. How many essence stones do I need to give you?” Himmel Soan nodded.
Ton took a deep breath and finally realized the man was serious. Although he didn’t know if Himmel Soan could afford it, at least he had made the offer.
“Sir, let me confirm it with you. All the pills here are defective. Are you sure you still want two each?
“Defective pills are useless. You can use them as poison, but they’re not nearly as effective as the real deal.
……
“Although we’re selling the defective pills, they’re not cheap. There are over two hundred kinds here, so that’s over four hundred pills in total. If each pill costs you on top-grade essence stone, you’re going to pay 400 essence stones!
“Are you sure about that?”
Four hundred top-grade essence stones!
That was a considerable number!
In terms of the defective pills’ price, it was a great bargain. But it was meaningless because no one would want to buy defective pills. Even Ton couldn’t believe it and had to reconfirm it several times.
Although they all wanted to find some dumb customers who would buy a couple of defective pills from them, they still couldn’t bring themselves to charge this man so much. That was why they confirmed with Himmel Soan over and over again.
“Yes, I want these defective pills. Four hundred top-grade essence stones, right?”
Himmel Soan realized he didn’t have that many essence stones. He only had over a dozen cores. He had used a couple so far and still had ten left.
According to Oech, one red core was worth a hundred top-grade essence stones, so he took out four cores.
“Will this be enough?” The student’s eyes lit up when they saw the cores.
Those were magical beasts’ cores!
To other people, they were a hard currency that could be exchanged for essence stones, only that they were much harder to find. To these students, the cores were excellent material for their pills.
Only their masters had the right to use red cores, and they rarely saw one on a daily basis. Not only did they see them today, but they were going to have them!
“Yes! That’s more than enough!”
“Sir, forget about the 400 pills. Take everything in our shop!
“I’ll give you a bottle of pills for free!”
He then took a jade bottle out of his chest pocket and gave it to Himmel Soan. It was a bottle of authentic pills, not defective ones. They could treat wounds, and a bottle of them alone was worth a core.
But Ton gave it to Himmel Soan for free.
“May I ask you something?” Ton asked.
Himmel Soan nodded. Ton had given him a bottle of pills, so he thought he should return the favor.
Ton immediately enveloped the two of them with spiritual essence, barring others from hearing their conversation.
“Sir, how did you find these cores? I’m not questioning their ownership. I’m only curious.
“Such cores are only obtained after one kills large beasts when a beast herd attacks the city, and that only happens every six months. There are so few cores, which is why they’re so rare. Hence the reason why I’m asking you.
“If you don’t feel comfortable, you don’t have to answer me.”
Ton made some explanations and also told Himmel Soan he didn’t have to answer. That was very considerate.
“I came from the north. There’s a forest, and I got the cores from there,” said Himmel Soan.
He didn’t see why he shouldn’t answer the question. It was only a small matter to him. It might help him obtain new information.
As expected, the students were shocked when they heard the answer. Ton’s pupils contracted when the forest was mentioned. He immediately turned to the others, “Not a word to another person!
“Take the Oath Pill and swear on it!”
Ton then explained to Himmel Soan, “Sir, do you not know the forest in the north is a restricted area? That rule has been set by all eight emperors. I’m curious, Sir. Who are you?”
Himmel Soan realized how complicated this world was. Maybe both he and Gina had a connection to this world.
He showed up in a restricted area when he arrived in this world, and that place happened to be forbidden by all eight emperors, who also banned the surname Soan.
So many things didn’t add up.
Moreover, apart from this continent, what else was on this planet?
