Equivalent Exchange.
What was equivalent?
That was truly difficult to determine.
The most straightforward example was that, to someone like Lawless, friendship and family were priceless. No matter what you offered, do not expect him to trade them to you. Instead, you should worry whether Lawless would smash your head after you made such a request.
However, Broker was different.
As long as it benefited him, he could trade anything.
As for emotions?
Don't be ridiculous.
That guy's emotions had long since been exchanged for the value gained after a transaction.
Qin Ran was also very willing to trade.
But unlike Broker, Qin Ran knew what could be traded and what could not.
Just as he knew that he could never harm Mimosa and Lawless.
Because those two treated him sincerely.
If others treated him sincerely, he would certainly treat them sincerely in return.
That was what the old director had taught him.
He had always kept it firmly in mind.
Even the most difficult days of his life had not changed that way of thinking.
Perhaps some would mock such childish thinking, but Qin Ran did not care.
After all, if even his last shred of principle was gone... would he still be himself?
Perhaps he would.
But Qin Ran did not want to see that "him."
He did not even want to try.
To some extent, this could also be considered an abstract Equivalent Exchange.
It was just that most people were unwilling to do it.
Knock, knock.
The knocking suddenly stopped.
Qin Ran, who had thought of something again, raised his head.
"At your service."
The Upper Evil Spirit bowed.
"Go. Conduct a thorough search within a ten-kilometer radius of where you found the core of this [Philosopher's Stone]."
Qin Ran said.
"Understood."
