Ye Tianfan smiled while looking at the dagger handle, then slightly tilted his head, easily avoiding what seed like a lethal strike.
"Wow, impressive! You actually managed to dodge my Great Slash. Next, I'll show you my ultimate move." The person who slashed at Ye Tianfan felt embarrassed when Ye Tianfan evaded the attack and spoke up.
"Great Slash?" When Ye Tianfan heard this na, he was thunderstruck. After all, it seed like such a casual slice, yet it had a move na? And it's called Great Slash?
This was downright comical.
Ye Tianfan initially planned not to waste ti with them here, but he never expected to witness such an entertaining scene. Plus, Ye Tianfan was curious about what other moves these people might have, so he decided against taking imdiate action, opting instead to watch what they would do next.
"What? The boss is going to use his ultimate move?"
"Let's get farther away, quickly, so we don't get hurt."
"Yeah, let's run!"
"I don't want to die here!"
The remaining few panicked and fled when they heard their so-called boss ntion he was about to unleash his ultimate technique.
Seeing this, Ye Tianfan grew even more curious. What kind of move could this be that made those guys run away? Ye Tianfan used his Divine Sense to probe the boss, but there wasn't even a hint of Spiritual Power fluctuation. What was going on?
Ye Tianfan found it curious since this person, who didn't have any Spiritual Power fluctuations, was able to use moves that affected others around him—it was definitely not simple.
"Heh! Did you see that? I haven't even used my move yet, and they are already scared off. Hand over ten thousand grand nats, or else!" the boss boasted arrogantly, then added, "Of course, if you don't have ten thousand, eight thousand will do!"
"I don't have any!" Ye Tianfan replied calmly, as he wasn't lying. He really didn't have eight thousand grand nats. To be exact, he didn't even have a single grand nat or even knew what one looked like.
"What? Not even eight thousand? Then..." The little thug boss, shocked to hear Ye Tianfan didn't even have eight thousand grand nats, threatened him, "Don't lie to —or else my ultimate move might accidentally kill you!"
"Uh-huh!" Ye Tianfan nodded, not saying anything further.
"How about... giving five thousand then, right? You got to have at least that?" The little thug boss hesitated.
"I don't have five thousand either!" Ye Tianfan still shook his head.
"What? Not even five thousand? Are you kidding ? Staying at an inn costs four thousand grand nats per night here; how could you not have five thousand? How do you eat?" The little thug boss thought Ye Tianfan was ssing with him. Considering a night at an inn costs four thousand, you'd at least need leftover money for food, right?
"I don't have any!" Ye Tianfan shook his head once more!
The little thug boss heard Ye Tianfan and gritted his teeth, saying, "Alright then, how about this—you give three thousand grand nats. With the remaining grand nats, I'll get you a decent inn where you won't worry about als for two days!"
Ye Tianfan found the little thug boss amusing, thinking he wasn't bad, considering his attempts at negotiation instead of outright robbing.
"I don't have three thousand either!" Ye Tianfan said with a smile.
"Are you ssing with ?" The little thug boss finally realized Ye Tianfan was toyingly making fun of him. How could he stay at an inn without at least three thousand grand nats? Didn't he just offer a place for three thousand that included als, and still, Ye Tianfan disagreed?
But then he recalled the strict city managent recently, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, give two thousand, and you gotta give sothing. I'll arrange for you a place costing just a thousand grand nats, and the environnt won't be much different from inns costing four or five thousand per night. als are also included, no worries about taste—we eat that food as well, as our work als!"
Ye Tianfan almost burst out laughing but managed to hold it in. He said, "To be honest, I don't have any grand nats. I'm not from around here; I ca from outside!"
Ye Tianfan chose to be truthful with the guy. Although he was just a little thug, he had the advantage of knowing all the local news and even so stuff others don't.
"From outside?" The little thug boss was stunned at first, then got excited, "Outside? Do you an outside of Snow City? Beyond those huge walls?"
"Yes!" Ye Tianfan nodded.
When the little thug boss received a positive answer, he almost leaped with joy. Everyone living inside Snow City longed for the world outside, but supposedly, they couldn't leave due to harsh environnts outside. So, while they dread about it, without adequate preparation, they wouldn't venture out.
"So... is the outside environnt truly as harsh as our ancestors said?" the little thug boss asked.
"Pretty much; with your abilities, you'd freeze to death imdiately if you went outside!" Ye Tianfan responded.
"I see..." The little thug boss felt disheartened hearing this.
He didn't doubt Ye Tianfan because, during their brief encounter, he realized Ye Tianfan's strength was formidable; he had no reason to lie.
"By the way, can you exchange your so-called grand nats with gold or silver coins?" Ye Tianfan inquired, as he intended to rest here for a few days and search for useful things.
"You can exchange them for silver—gold too, but usually people use silver!" The little thug boss explained.
"How much grand nats do you get for an ounce of silver?" Ye Tianfan asked curiously.
"One ounce of silver can be exchanged for one thousand grand nats, and an ounce of gold for ten thousand. For larger amounts, you can even get ten thousand and one hundred grand nats per ounce of silver!" The little thug boss explained to Ye Tianfan, casually asking, "How much silver do you have?"
"Over a thousand ounces!" Ye Tianfan responded nonchalantly.
And hearing this, the little thug boss was dumbstruck. Over a thousand ounces—that's over a million grand nats.
"Boss, are you accepting underlings? Can I join you?"
