"It is entirely possible that it is a system thing. In the same way you just leave the system to distribute your black keys through the system, someone may have used a system to distribute those coupons," she answered, just as she finalized the sale of the coupon for a ridiculous 70 million MP!
The fact that the coupon was only effective for someone who hadn't yet begun to cultivate made that price even more ridiculous, but there was no shortage of heirs and holy children and such who would be groomed to the best of the ability of whatever organization or power they represented.
