Feng Hao nodded in satisfaction, studying Three-second Fire seriously. He asked, "So, uh, how many Magic Souls would it take to evolve you to your intermediate form?"
"Not many, not many. Just two or three thousand," Three-second Fire said with a pout.
"..." Feng Hao was instantly speechless.
'Is it kidding me? Magic Souls are rare treasures. An ordinary person would be lucky to get one or two. But this little guy just casually asks for two or three thousand. Where the hell am I supposed to get that many?'
'I was thinking about investing some money to try evolving it to the intermediate form, but it looks like I'll have to forget about it for now.'
Although he could afford two or three thousand Magic Souls with his current assets, they weren't something you could just conjure out of thin air. You needed not only the money but also a supplier, and you couldn't buy many through normal channels.
