“By the way, I still don’t know how to pay. Will you take treasures from this world to trade for the items you have?”
Suddenly, Leo realized that he didn’t know how the Otherwordly Merchants complete their transactions.
Therefore, Leo asked the cute panda about it.
“The Otherwordly Merchants mainly accept the Hero coins and Devil coins while trading with the natives of the worlds.”
The panda explained, “In some cases, we will accept some treasures that have demand in the higher-grade worlds.”
“Hero Coins and Devil Coins?”
Leo raised his brows and thought, ‘Is this why the Otherworldly Beings emphasized humans in collecting the Hero Metal and turning it into Hero coins?’
He got a new revelation regarding the Hero Coins.
Earlier, he thought the Hero Coins were only needed to buy certain things from the city hall; however, he found another use of the Hero Coins.
‘Which means Hero Coins are widely accepted in almost every world.’
Leo said ‘Almost’ because he didn’t see anyone use the Hero Coins in the Beastnet. Nevertheless, he could guess the reason.
Unlike the human and humanoid worlds, the bestial worlds worked differently and the moment a treasure appears, the one with the strongest strength would take it.
However, in the human and humanoid worlds, unless it was required, they would not go all out to fight with others and try to deal with words first.
Of course, the humans and humanoid races also turn into beasts if the value of the treasures were high.
“If you tell me the prices, I will pay you.”
Since it was Hero Coins, Leo felt quite relieved because he has nearly 100 million Hero coins. Hence, he asked the panda about the prices of each item.
“The prices for the three items are the same and it is 1000 Supreme Hero coins.”
The panda didn’t think much as it stated the prices for Leo and continued, “Since you helped me from getting caught by the Beast Gargoyles and provided a safe place to recover my strength. I will give you a 50 percent discount for the first item.”
“50 percent discount? So, is your life worth only 500 Supreme Hero Coins?”
Leo thought the Otherwordly Merchant would show gratitude to him by giving one item for free. So, Leo could not help but say those words.
However, he realized he should have not said those words because the other party was the first Otherwordly Merchant and a being that could travel between worlds easily.
Hence, maintaining a good relationship with such a being won’t do much harm to him.
“Sigh…if not for the rules, I would have given you two items for free; however, the maximum discount I can give to my clients is 50 percent on the first item they buy.”
The Cute Panda sighed as it looked at Leo and said, “Are you going to pay in normal hero coins or Supreme hero coins?”
“Oh.”
Leo was surprised and thought, ‘This panda is not only cute but it is very kind.’
Soon, he came out of his thoughts and replied, “I don’t think my world can produce the Supreme Hero Coins anytime soon. So, I can only pay in Hero Coins.”
Previously, Leo received some information from the city pillar and among that pile of information, Leo learned about the Supreme Hero Coins.
One Supreme Hero Coin is equivalent to 10000 Hero Coins and since the price of the item was 1000 Supreme Hero Coins, that means, the actual price in Hero Coins would be ten million.
“Place your hand on my hand and think about transferring five million Hero coins.”
The panda asked Leo and he followed the panda’s words and thought about transferring five million Hero Coins.
The original price was 10 million Hero Coins; however, the Panda gave a 50 percent discount.
‘Ding,
Five million Hero Coins are sent to the Otherwordly Merchant.
Soon, Leo got a system notification and saw the cute panda nod its head.
“I got the payment.”
In the next second, the white-coloured bag beside it shone with a bright light.
“Here.”
Soon after, the panda placed its hand in the shining bag and took out a small silver-coloured stone from the bag before giving it to Leo.
“Thank you.”
Leo thanked the cute panda as he received the small stoe.
‘Ding,
、 Item name: Small City Upgrade Stone.
Effect: 1) Small chance of blessing the city with a random but permanent effect.
2) Small chance of unlocking a random special building in the city.
Limitations: 1) Only one effect can be triggered.
2) Only a city leader can use the stone.
Soon, the information about the item appeared before Leo; however, Leo already knew about it. So, he didn’t think much about it.
“I will come again after seven days. Until then, you can rest here.”
Since the cute panda needs seven days to recover, Leo decided to finish his other things during those seven days.
‘In the next seven days, all my citizens can become rank 4 or even rank 5. If I use the passive experience booster, they will all become advanced heroes. At the same time, I can plan to enter my third grade 1 world.’
Leo knew he could finish most of his smaller goals in the next seven days. So, he was prepared to enter a new grade 1 world to increase his strength.
‘As for the system upgrade, I am not going to waste the Fragments of the God Stones to speed up the upgrade as I already have so many things to take care of.’
With that thought in mind, Leo left the guest room and entered the core room of the city hall where the city pillar and its core were situated.
“I hope it can unlock a new special building for my city.”
Leo placed the small city upgrade stone in front of the pillar which was swallowed by the city pillar like a tasty candy.
<Congratulations, City Leader, a new special building is unlocked>
