Upon entering the shop, Nova saw a couple of yellow mana crystals on the counter, seeing each one for 71,432.50 yuan, which was about ten thousand dollars. Nova was willing to spend that much money since he was offered a contract by Marcus, which gave him a sufficient amount of money, so spending ten thousand to recover his still decent.
It was the cheapest way of recovering, since they were in a foreign land, didn't even speak the dialect, and were stranded for their lives.
Nova pointed at the yellow crystals, hoping the gesture was clear. The man quinted, then spoke something in Chinese, sharp and fast, which seemed unintentionally aggressive. Nova didn't understand a single word.
"Uh... crystals," Nova said, pointing again at them, slower this time, guiding the man to look at his finger and then see where it was landing.
