The two women leaned against each other, browsing the merchandise with great interest.

"This bamboo-copter looks pretty fun. You can fly just by putting it on your head!"

"This anywhere door is quite nice. You can teleport within 10,000 kilometers, though it's a bit expensive. It actually costs 100,000 credits."

"This starry sky camera looks great, and it even comes in pink! Let me see... it has built-in magic, infinite film, and can print photos instantly! This is practically my dream camera!"

"This trash can scratch-off is kind of interesting. You can win items worth up to 500,000 credits!"

The two women chatted away, discussing the items back and forth.

Ye Yun stood to the side, sipping his happy water while quietly watching them shop.

Over ten minutes later, the two women finally closed their phones, having chosen what they wanted to buy.

March 7th took out her 1,000 credits and handed them to Ye Yun.

"Here, Ye Yun, I want to buy that starry sky camera!"

Hearing this, Ye Yun checked the price of the starry sky camera. It was exactly 1,000 credits.

Ye Yun snapped his fingers, and a camera wrapped in a bubble appeared between the three of them.

March 7th took a closer look.

"That's it! That's it! Ye Yun, here's the money!"

Ye Yun pointed at the bubble.

"Just tap the credits onto it. Once the amount is sufficient, you'll receive it."

Upon hearing this, March 7th grabbed the credits and slapped them onto the bubble.

The credits and the bubble vanished simultaneously, and the starry sky camera materialized in March 7th's hands.

As soon as she got the camera, March 7th couldn't wait to start taking pictures.

"Wow~ The resolution is so clear! It feels even better than my own eyes!"

Ye Yun smiled.

"As long as you like it."

After saying that, Ye Yun looked at Stelle.

"What about you? What do you want to buy?"

Stelle held her 2,000 credits.

"I want the trash can scratch-offs! Give me two buckets!"

Hearing this, Ye Yun sighed inwardly.

As expected, he had felt that Stelle would buy these the moment he wrote them down as a product.

For Stelle, this item was a complete hard counter; she had absolutely no resistance against it.

Ye Yun checked the price and summoned two bubbles.

These trash can scratch-offs cost 1,000 credits each.

Without a word, Stelle slapped 1,000 credits onto each of the two bubbles.

Thud!

Thud!

Two heavy objects hit the ground. Stelle rushed over to the two glowing, bling-bling trash cans in a flurry of excitement.

Stelle first tapped on the two trash cans with her hand, listening to the sounds coming from within.

March 7th noticed them at this moment and walked over to take a look.

"Stelle, why are you buying these? You usually never get anything good from scratch-offs."

Stelle patted her chest.

"Normal people definitely wouldn't get anything good, but I'm different! Am I a normal person? Of course not, I'm the future Galaxy Bat Hero!"

March 7th was speechless after hearing that. What kind of titles did Stelle come up with for herself?

Galaxy Bat Hero? Did she really have to be so chuunibyou?

Just then, a voice rang out from the side.

"Found you. Are you the one who sold that coin to Stelle?"

The three of them looked toward the newcomer. Stelle was a little surprised.

"Herta? What are you doing here?"

Herta glanced at Stelle indifferently.

"I followed you here, obviously."

After saying that, Herta ignored Stelle and looked at Ye Yun instead.

"Are you the one who sold that coin?"

Ye Yun nodded and handed his phone to Herta.

"That's right, take a look for yourself. Everything written on there is what I have for sale.

If you don't see what you're looking for, you can tell me the characteristics of the item you want.

Here, as long as you have enough credits, you can buy anything you desire!"

Upon hearing this, Herta became interested.

"Credits? What are those? How do you get them?"

Ye Yun explained.

"Stellar Jades. Currently, in this world, only Stellar Jades can be exchanged; one Stellar Jade can be traded for 100 credits."

Herta understood. She sent a message to Asta, asking her to send over some Stellar Jades.

Afterward, Herta took Ye Yun's phone and began browsing.

Stelle looked at Herta, ignored her, and continued opening trash cans!

Stelle rubbed her hands together and performed a series of prayers and rituals.

Herta sighed.

"Stelle, research shows that a person's luck has no connection to these superstitious things."

Stelle turned her head away.

"You don't understand. With these things, they exist if you believe in them, and they don't if you don't."

Having said that, Stelle yanked open a trash can.

The next second, a dazzling light erupted from the trash can, so intense that everyone present had to squint their eyes.

Even the Herta puppet was affected, as it was a high-fidelity puppet created by Herta.

Stelle struggled to open her eyes and peered into the trash can, her face filled with excitement.

Golden legend!!!!!

When the light faded and the trash can vanished, a can of herring can appeared in its place.

Stelle curiously picked up the herring can and gave it a shake.

"What is this?"

March 7th was also very curious.

"Could it be fish feed? I see a picture of a fish on it."

Herta rolled her eyes at the two girls.

"Idiots will always be idiots. This is a herring can, an old thing from many years ago. It's food."

Neither March 7th nor Stelle had ever eaten canned food, so naturally, they didn't recognize the thing.

Stelle was a stellaron spirit with amnesia, and March 7th was part of the express crew. With Pom-Pom as the head chef on the train, canned food? That simply didn't exist there.

Upon hearing this, Stelle reached out to open the can and taste the flavor.

Seeing this, Ye Yun hurriedly stopped her.

"Stop!"

Stelle looked at him, confused.

"Why? Isn't this food? I'm just a little hungry, let me taste it."

Ye Yun thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth, letting Stelle know the severity of the situation.

"It is indeed food, but, well, the flavor... it's best not to open it anywhere near other people."

Stelle understood immediately.

Ah, so that's it. This thing is inedible.

Suddenly, Stelle's eyes lit up as an idea flashed through her mind.

She put it away and looked at another trash can.

March 7th put her hands on her hips.

"Stelle, why don't we return this trash can? You can't get anything good out of it, and it's so expensive—1,000 credits each."

Stelle shook her head and, without a word, opened the bin!

After the same golden light flashed, the trash can disappeared, and a pair of pistols appeared in its place.

Stelle looked disappointed. She had spent 2,000 credits just to get these two things? The herring can might have some use in certain places.

But these two pistols? Forget it, they weren't very useful.

At this moment, Ye Yun looked at Stelle as if he had seen a ghost.

"What kind of luck is this!"

Stelle shrugged helplessly.

"Yeah, my luck is really bad."

Ye Yun said.

"No! Do you have any idea what kind of thing you just pulled?"

Xing shook her head. Seeing Ye Yun act like this, could it be that there was something special about this pair of pistols?

"Ye Yun, did I actually pull something good?"

Ye Yun didn't beat around the bush.

"Let me put it this way: if you were to buy this from me, it would cost 200,000 credits.

This pair of pistols has a very domineering name.

Key of Divinity! Divine Key: Judgment of Shamash!"
