"How much should I ask for?" Shang asked.
"No less than 2,000 gold," the teacher said.
Shang's eyes widened.
2,000 gold?!
He had 27!
The overpriced ore in the academy was worth only around 200 gold!
"How much would it be worth under normal circumstances?" Shang asked in shock.
"Around 500 gold," the teacher said, "and that's considering its rough condition. A well-preserved corpse can go for 800."
"And the young ones?" Shang asked.
"Around 50 gold," she said. "You can't compare Soldier Stage beasts with General Stage beasts. Why do you think there are so many hunters here? General Stage beasts are worth a lot of money."
Normal Vanishing Snakes were already at the Late Soldier Stage, while the adult variant was at the Initial General Stage. Yet, that already increased the price by more than a matter of ten!
Shang remembered the reason why the academy wanted collateral of five gold for every special exam.
