Novlin then proceeded to walk forward with Su Ming.
They quickly arrived at an outdoor stall, which was laid out with bags of synthetic powder.
The stall was overseen by a tooth-yellowed, thin old man, who, seeing Novlin, greeted her enthusiastically.
“Lady Novlin, are you here to shop?”
“How much is the synthetic powder now, Grandpa Quen’ou?”
Novlin nodded slightly and politely asked.
“There are still three grades, the best is 500 Dark Star coins a ton, the dium grade is 400 Dark Star coins, and the low grade is 100 Dark Star coins.”
Quen’ou directly quoted the price to Novlin.
Bair and the others all looked towards Novlin.
Novlin pondered for a mont before saying,
“dium grade.
We’ll take 200 tons.”
“Alright!”
Quen’ou nodded in response.
At that mont, Fia imdiately handed a backpack to Novlin.
Novlin opened the backpack and took out a stack of crumpled banknotes to give to Grandpa Quen’ou.
Grandpa Quen’ou took them and started to count them one by one.
Novlin waited quietly, and soon Grandpa Quen’ou had finished tallying up the money and said with a smile,
“The money is correct.”
“Bair, you and Mr.
O Kun handle the transfer.
Take the synthetic powder to the transport ship.”
Novlin then arranged the task.
“Alright!”
Bair imdiately nodded in response.
“Let’s go.
Let’s buy so things over there.”
Novlin then led Su Ming and Fia along the road towards their next destination.
Su Ming followed quietly behind Novlin.
A mont later, they arrived in front of a shop, which was obviously much more upscale than those street stalls, with special freezers by the entrance.
The freezers held rows of at blocks.
“Keastin!”
Novlin called out.
“Coming, oh!
Isn’t this Novlin?
What brought you here today?”
A muscular middle-aged man with a cheap synthetic cigarette in his mouth and a beard ca out.
“I want to buy so good at.”
Novlin said with a hint of a smile.
“No problem.
It’s rare for you to shop, so I’ll give you the lowest price.
How much do you want to buy?”
Keastin said with a lot of generosity.
“I would like to buy 1000 pounds.”
Novlin said with a mont’s hesitation.
Fia next to her was stunned, looking at Novlin with astonishnt.
She wanted to say sothing, but then she swallowed her words.
“Buying so much?
Did you strike it rich recently?”
Keastin was also quite surprised.
“Keastin, can I discuss sothing with you?”
“Go ahead.”
“I’d like to pay with this.”
Novlin picked up a box to hand to Keastin.
Keastin took it and opened the box, his face showing astonished delight.
Su Ming glanced sideways and, though he couldn’t see it clearly, spotted what seed like a delicate necklace inside the box.
He imdiately realized that Novlin must have specifically co to buy the at, perhaps to treat him.
Thinking of this, Su Ming suddenly felt very embarrassed and quickly spoke up,
“Miss Novlin, what are you doing?”
“It’s nothing, Mr.
Su Ming.”
“I can’t let you do this.
Mr.
Keastin, can I pay with Federation Coins here?”
Su Ming asked at once.
“Federation Coins?”
Upon hearing Su Ming’s words, Keastin was also taken aback.
Novlin quickly explained to Keastin,
“It’s like this—my friend here, he does business in the Land of Lost, that’s why he has Federation Coins.”
“Oh, I see.
I was wondering!
No one has paid with Federation Coins here for decades.
But it’s all the sa!
Dark Star coins and Federation Coins both have a one-to-one exchange rate.
I accept them here.”
Keastin laughed after hearing Novlin’s explanation.
In fact, the Federation, Dark Star Empire, and Heavenly Revelation Divine Country all had vast reserves of rare tals as collateral in the Holy Land·Saint Jox Star to ensure the value of their currencies.
Therefore, the currencies of all three powers were recognized by Holy Land·Saint Jox Star, all with an exchange rate of 1 to 1.
“If I can pay with that, that’s great.
Do you think this is enough?”
Su Ming then took out his wallet and pulled out a ten thousand denomination Federation Coin to give to Keastin.
Keastin took the money from Su Ming and was imdiately stunned.
“A ten thousand denomination?”
Novlin and Fia were also taken aback, looking incredulously at Su Ming.
Especially upon seeing the thick stack of notes in his wallet, their expressions beca very unnatural.
“Is there a problem?”
Su Ming asked calmly.
“Wait a mont, I need to check!
This is the first ti I’ve seen this denomination; I’m not sure if it’s real or fake.”
Keastin kept flipping through the banknote, worried it might be counterfeit.
Su Ming, watching this scene, had an odd expression on his face.
Eventually, after examining it for a while, Keastin was still not convinced and directly called out,
“Old Jess, co over here!”
Imdiately, other shop owners in the vicinity ca over.
“What’s up, Keastin?”
“Co help check whether this banknote is real or fake.”
Keastin asked the crowd.
“Wow, a ten thousand denomination?
Who’s so rich?”
“Let see, that’s rare!”
“It’s a Federation Coin as well!”
…
The shop owners crowded together, helping to examine the banknote.
Su Ming waited helplessly, not expecting a banknote to attract so many people to study it.
Novlin apologized to Su Ming,
“I’m sorry, no one here has ever used such a large denomination for a transaction.”
“It’s fine.”
Su Ming forced a smile in response.
Fortunately, after the shop owners finished their examination, they unanimously confird it.
