Was twenty billion enough? Sunset Glow still could not give a clear answer.
But Qu Jianlei said without hesitation, "Even if it isn't enough, two hundred billion is the absolute maximum."
"A mere Fire Essence isn't worth any more than that!"
Sunset Glow grew a little anxious at that. "It can help Nutrient Solution and Duo Gan."
"It'll still work without it," Qu Jianlei replied casually. "I already have the basic idea."
Would trading two hundred billion for one Fire Essence be a loss? It really would not, especially since it could help those two.
