Locke froze for a moment. This was the first time he had met someone so honest.
Although the fossilized green dragon wing bones were not perfectly preserved, they still came from a creature guaranteed to reach the level of a second-ring wizard upon adulthood. With its structure so complete, he could conceivably have sold the wing fossil for as much as a hundred thousand Magic Stones. Instead, he had simply halved the price.
Did everyone from Dragonbone World do business like this?
Locke nodded. "Of course. I'll pay you fifty thousand Magic Stones right away. Would you prefer Magic Stones or Magic Crystal Cards?"
Magic Crystal Cards were essentially the same thing as Magic Stones, a high-denomination currency Locke had only encountered after becoming a first-ring wizard.
They also originated from the Starfield Sea and could hold ten thousand Magic Stones inside them, making each Magic Crystal Card worth ten thousand Magic Stones.
Like Magic Stones, Magic Crystal Cards could neither be destroyed nor deliberately thrown into an inaccessible plane or the void.
Magic Crystal Cards existed simply to facilitate trade, the circulation of Magic Stones, and payments.
For example, to pay fifty thousand Magic Stones, he only needed to hand over five Magic Crystal Cards rather than five little mountains of Magic Stones.
He had already taken his two hundred thousand Magic Stones to the White Wizard Association's Magic Stone Administration and exchanged them for nineteen Magic Crystal Cards, keeping just ten thousand loose Magic Stones in reserve for small purchases.
Or to make up differences in price.
Wizard Talen said in a steady voice, "I'd like five Magic Crystal Cards. Thank you, first-ring wizard of the Truth Grand World."
Locke looked utterly bewildered. What are you thanking me for? I'm the one getting a huge bargain.
