Kai felt satisfied with the information he discovered.
Just like that, he made his way through Cameron City, weaving past the bustling streets until something caught his eye — a row of stalls selling sweets. The sight was almost surreal in a world scarred by machines and survival struggles. Curious, he approached one of the vendors.
"How much for a pouch?" Kai asked.
The vendor lifted a small cloth bag. "One C‑Grade Core. That'll get you twenty sweets."
Kai raised a brow. "And if I just want a few?"
The vendor smirked. "Then I'll take credits."
"Credits?"
"Right… the ones used in the VR World. I can accept one hundred credits for five candies."
'Credits?' Kai thought.
It wasn't strange to see the virtual currency bleeding into real trade, but it wasn't really acceptable aside from this city or places that play the game.
