After all that, Shi Su was just a transporter.
Huang Yao said enviously, "Sigh, Space types can handle transport, Metal types can make equipment, and Nature types can grow divine herbs. But Earth types like me? Nobody even wants us to build houses. We're only good for hired muscle."
"Making money is too hard. When Shi Su approached Snake Mother, me, and the other guy, all three of us were broke. We agreed without a second thought."
Chen Luo asked, "How much did he offer?"
Huang Yao held up one finger. "A million violet crystals, with another two million if we succeeded."
Violet crystals? Remembering the violet crystals in Isman's Spatial Ring, Chen Luo took one out.
"Is this it?"
Huang Yao nodded. "That's it."
Isman only had a few thousand violet crystals stored away. A million really did seem to be an enormous sum.
"How much can one violet crystal buy?"
Huang Yao thought for a moment. "An ordinary Meow-Meow is worth about half a violet crystal. A top-quality cat-eared girl, though? She might fetch ten thousand violet crystals. Heh heh."
Huang Yao waggled his eyebrows, looking as sleazy as could be.
In other words, all the Meow-Meows on Meow Star were only worth a few tens of thousands of violet crystals.
Isman was far too poor.
Huang Yao said, "Obuen's suit of armor was worth ten million violet crystals, while Shi Su's Flying Saucer is worth a hundred million. Shi Su really is loaded."
Armor? Chen Luo badly needed armor now. Having experienced its benefits, he no longer felt safe enough without it, even with Void Walk.
What if something actually hit me?
Even if he didn't need it himself, Mi Li, Rice, Dharma King, and the others did.
Chen Luo asked, "How can I get that armor?"
