The Piggy Bank swallowed the Nightmare Coin but showed no reaction, making Chen Lin's heart sink.
He knew it was not that the Black Pig Monster refused to respond, but that the creature was also under restrictions.
It was only reasonable for a Nightmare Realm creature from a Silver Scenario to be suppressed in a Golden Scenario.
Perhaps activating it with a Golden Nightmare Coin could break through that suppression, but Chen Lin did not try. He had only one Golden Nightmare Coin left, and it was better to save it for now.
