He was thinking about how to ask Pauli for help when he received another message from Pauli..
"So what do you think about the place? Great right? You can get almost anything you want there. It is just expensive. You better appreciate it. Most people had to risk the foreign battlefield to gain access to that place."
He texted back, "It is a great place. But I don't have energy stones. Is there a way to exchange dollars for energy stones?"
Pauli replied, "There is no way to exchange energy stones for dollars. No one is going to do that. I am not going to either. They must receive physical goods and services in return, not dollars."
"It also has to be goods and services that they can't get for dollars somewhere else. It is unlikely that you will get such things on earth here. But it is possible to get them if you join my cabal and follow us to the foreign battlefield. We might even stumble onto a mine of energy stones. We will be truly rich."
