"The honorable customer may not know," Feiyu Trading Company's attendant smiled in service, explaining to Yan Chuan, "After the disaster, the 'Beast Tide' rampages, there's no guarantee of survival when traveling. Who wouldn't want a surprise weapon by their side for peace of mind? Moreover, during the Beast Tide, wielding weapons is unavoidable, and bangs and clashes are inevitable as well. The damage frequency and quantity of surprise weapons are more than ten times compared to before the disaster! As the Beast Tide continues, the damage to surprise weapons diminishes, so naturally, their value increases."

Yan Chuan listened quietly without speaking.
"If you had come two days earlier, you could save two thousand Essence Stones; even yesterday, you could save a few hundred. But today, this is the price. If you wait until tomorrow or later today, it might rise even more."
