"See you in two days."
However, just as Yuan and his group approached the exit, Yuan came to a sudden halt.
"Did you forget something?" Chen Cheng asked.
"Actually, I have an odd request," Yuan faced him and continued, "Can I borrow some money?"
"Excuse me?" Chen Cheng’s eyes widened with disbelief, not daring to believe his ears.
How could someone with so many gold coins and even a spirit stone ask for money? It made zero sense.
Seeing Chen Cheng’s confused expression, Yuan explained, "You see, we don’t have any currencies. That’s why we’re trying to sell the gold coin and spirit stone as soon as possible. Don’t worry, I’ll return twice the amount you lend me."
"H-How much do you want?" Chen Cheng asked in a dazed voice.
"Just enough to rent a few rooms and eat some food for the next two days."
Chen Cheng reached into his pocket and retrieved a large leather bag and said, "Here’s ten large chaos coins and a hundred small chaos coins. You can live luxuriously for an entire month, much less two days."
"Thanks." Yuan accepted the money and left the auction house shortly after.
Once they were outside, Yuan asked Wu Qi, "How much did he give us? I’m not familiar with its value."
Wu Qi then explained, "Ordinary people like my parents earn about two hundred small coins a month. As for your large coin... a single one is worth ten thousand small coins, so you essentially have 100,000 small coins."
"I see."
"In that case, let’s go eat."
Wu Qi nodded, "I’m glad you said that because I am starving."
They proceeded to wander the city until they found a restaurant that seemed appealing enough to enter.
Sometime later, after they finished their meal, Yuan’s group went to rent three rooms in a hotel.
"Senior, what are you going to do for the next two days?" Wu Qi asked him.
"I’m going to cultivate," he said.
"In that case, I’ll take a look around the city. I doubt I will ever come back here, after all."
"Here, take this."
Yuan handed him a single large coin.
"This is...?" Wu Qu stared at it with a dumbfounded face.
