"Four hundred million Star Coins?" Su Ming sucked in a sharp breath.
Were research instruments really this expensive? Four hundred million Star Coins was enough to cover the daily expenses of billions of people on an entire planet.

The enormous sum left Su Ming clicking his tongue in amazement.
"That's right..." Walter said with a bitter smile. "I didn't want to set the price this high either, but the standard price for this kind of equipment is genuinely steep.
