Rowen carefully counted the payment in front of Calen's eyes—four low-grade mana stones in exchange for six tomatoes and six potatoes.
Calen's eyes widened. "Wait, why are they paying with mana stones? And why are they buying your stuff at these prices? Did you do something to Lyra and Aria or something?"
Rowen shrugged casually, a small smile playing on his lips. "Nothing like that. These vegetables aren't just regular crops—they have real effects. They help with mana and energy recovery and even boost focus."
Calen blinked, clearly surprised. "Seriously? Your vegetables can do that?"
Rowen shrugged casually, keeping his expression neutral.
Calen glanced at Rowen, then asked quietly, "How can you even produce vegetables like this? It doesn't seem normal."
Rowen's mind raced for a moment. Maybe it's time to be more careful with what I share.
