Was a processing fee of ten thousand Game Coins expensive? Not really.
But that depended on the matter and the person involved.
Bai Zhi was genuinely poor right now. Spending ten thousand Game Coins was enough to empty out everything he had... but he had no choice but to pay it.
After all, no matter how you looked at it, the other party had been busy from last night until this afternoon without even stopping for lunch. If he was too stingy to pay even this little processing fee, that would be a bit too... well, you know.
One had to have principles in dealing with people.
But because of this, Bai Zhi suddenly realized something very, very terrifying.
—His future self seemed to be just as poor.
"Thank you for your patronage. Please come again."
Looking at his replenished wallet, PrayerUnderDreams nodded.
"Next time, I'll give you a twenty percent discount."
Like the money-burning side profession of [Crafter], the side profession of [Mechanic] burned even more money. It required investing a great deal of time and effort before one could achieve outstanding results.
To build his Mechanical Workshop earlier, he had even poured in the money he had saved for a wife. Bai Zhi's order could be considered his very first job since opening for business.
"Uh... can you give me a ninety percent discount?"
Looking at the mere three-digit balance left in his wallet, Bai Zhi, still immersed in the terrifying reality that his future self was also poor, asked this question with considerable hesitation.
PrayerUnderDreams: "..."
Time passed silently. When night arrived and darkness began to fall, all the Fruits that had once appeared over ten days ago appeared before Bai Zhi and the others once more.
A "full moon" hung embedded in the pitch-black night sky.
