White Rice lived together with Red Fox and Black Rice. The three sapient beings communicated with each other; compared to Ghost Fan, they were clearly much more intelligent.
They looked really smart. Maybe, probably, actually, they were smart.
But for White Rice, this was the first time dealing in Origin Force food trade, and it felt cheated—wanting to haggle, but, alas, lacking experience and knowing too little. Every time they objected to the price, Dragon Cypress would defeat them with clever reasons and witty words.
Dragon Cypress had White Rice's calculations pinned down to the last detail.
After setting the unit price, they finally counted the various Origin Force food items and tallied up the total price.
Dragon Cypress: "Altogether, that's 1,648 Source Stones. To make it a round number, I'll give it to you as 1,650 stones."
Dragon Cypress: "What I've brought on the Dominating Throne are only two kinds of goods: Ghost Fans and Southern Sour Jujube Seeds."
