"Five hundred gold coins? That's enough to buy ten of my lives! I could work myself to death and still wouldn't earn fifty gold coins!" a mid-level Genosha alchemist exclaimed, his mouth agape and his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
Upon hearing his words, the other alchemists around him nodded in agreement, echoing their approval:
"Five hundred gold coins? That's a number I wouldn't even dare to imagine!"
Someone analyzed the situation and slowly said, "The Ice Spirit Flower is an extremely rare alchemy material, very valuable, but it can't possibly be worth five hundred gold coins!"
"Who cares? It's not our money anyway. That master-level alchemist from the Haunted Marsh forced Charles to participate in the alchemist duel using threats. I think five hundred gold coins is a low price!" After their initial shock, the other Genosha alchemists immediately felt that Charles's asking price was quite reasonable!
