"Fifty Alliance currency, just like that..."
Lu Xin felt a faint pang at the expense. In his opinion, he could have gotten by with a few coins.
But this time, all the supplies for their trip had been prepared by the Guard Department and the Special Purity Department, including the Alliance currency and gold they had brought with them. The denominations were all the same, too—fifty Alliance currency per bill. When he had prepared to spend some money asking around for information, this was the smallest denomination he could offer. After all, he had not brought any canned food, and giving away gold would have hurt even more.
Still, getting the information for only fifty Alliance currency had been well worth it.
Besides, he could get reimbursed.

But the girl merely took the money, clutched it in her hand, and continued looking at him with a blissful smile.
She actually did not answer.
"If you don't want to tell me, then forget it..."
Lu Xin did not want to pressure such a hardworking and optimistic girl. He shook his head and prepared to take back his money.
But when he pinched one corner of the fifty-currency bill and pulled, he found it unexpectedly difficult.

"If you're not going to answer, then you should give my money back."
Lu Xin looked at the girl, reasoning with her as he continued pulling on the bill.
But the girl held on tightly, without the slightest intention of loosening her grip.
Lu Xin insisted on taking it back, while the girl insisted on refusing.
Lu Xin began to get angry, but he did not dare pull too hard,
