After a quick overview of the new rules, Lin Chen was faced with a frustrating problem.
'What should I trade for?'
"My privilege lets me redeem one item, but what about trades? What's the exchange rate?"
"It's judged on a case-by-case basis, depending on the rarity and weight of the ingredients. Take the wolf you caught, for example. Daniel mentioned it's not very tasty. If you just trade us the meat, we can't make anything good with it, so its value is lower."
"In that case… ten kilograms of meat for one item?"
"Why don't you go rob a bank?!"
"Hey," Robert chuckled. "That's not how it works, Lin. You have to understand, these are things you can't get in the Alaska Forest. They're uniquely scarce, like how the price of gold only ever goes up and almost never comes down."
Ten kilograms of wolf meat for a single item. The exchange rate was so outrageous it made Lin Chen grind his teeth in frustration, wishing he could smash his fist into the old bastard's face.
