“Five... five hundred trillion high-grade Spirit Stones?!”
Planted upside down in Row #1 of the vegetable patch, Chief Envoy Gu Biao spat out a clump of dirt and stared at the glowing golden invoice floating above Grandpa Fu’s [Jade-Abacus Cane].
His bloodshot eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
“You old bandit! Have you lost your mind?!” Gu Biao howled, wriggling like a trapped caterpillar as his swollen backside throbbed from the Seven-Wolves Belt.
“Three heads of green cabbage for three hundred trillion Spirit Stones?! Even a Rank 8 Star-Core Elixir doesn’t cost a tenth of that! This is highway robbery!”
Old butler Grandpa Fu looked down at Gu Biao with calm, courteous dignity and tapped his cane against the garden border.
“You are mistaken, Chief Envoy,” Grandpa Fu said politely.
“Those were organic, non-GMO Jade-Heart Spirit Cabbages fertilized with Star-Dragon Ao Xing’s bathwater and weeded by Young Master Gu Nian himself. Frankly, charging you one hundred trillion per cabbage is a family discount.”
