Once the three of them had fully calmed down, they realized they still faced plenty of problems. This was indeed a tremendous sum, but right now, even with money, they had nowhere to spend it. Luoyou City was completely cut off from the outside world, and its economy had utterly collapsed. Every shop was closed, and supplies could no longer be brought in.
