"WHAT! There must be about 20 thousand spirit stones in there at least!"

"Is that a lot?"

"Of course it is! It's too much!"

One spirit stone equaled one Follower. Only one spirit stone could be acquired by processing a spirit. Of course, normal Followers didn't have much value and it was the fighter Followers who would equal to 5 to 10 spirit stones that became valuable, but 20 thousand was still a lot.

It was enough to have a low-ranking G.o.d to rise up to the bottom of the high-ranking G.o.ds.

Jaehwan said, "Twenty thousand… it might not be enough."

"Not enough?"

"You never know what might happen."

This time, Myad became astonished at Jaehwan being so calm while holding onto so many spirit stones.

"You really are something. How can you be so calm even with that many spirit stones?"

"…"

"I don't think there's anyone- even in the or - that doesn't get carried away by the number."

"That's enough. So, do you have more? Or what?"

"I think 20 thousand is enough… but I'll give you this just in case."

Myad then began writing something down and handed it over to Jaehwan. It was a piece of paper created by the hologram. It was a personal check from the Myad Federation. The voice was heard again then.

-12 thousand! Anymore? 12 thousand!

Jaehwan looked down at the check for a while and turned to Myad again.

"You just met me for the first time today."

"Yes, I did."

"What is the meaning of all this?"

"Meaning? Oh, you mean the check? Like I said… I like you and…"

"…Never mind. I was a fool to ask."

Jaehwan stood up and shouted toward the auctioneer.

"I will bid on it."

People's eyes turned straight onto Jaehwan. Reynold then turned to Jaehwan and spoke.

-OH? I haven't seen you around! In my experience, this is the sign of a strong bid! So… your name is…

"I'm Jaehwan."

-I see! So- how much will you...

"A hundred thousand."
