A Slave's touch
Hao Xuan was flabbergasted.
'I think this is the highest price I have ever seen! What's so good about it?'
He 'clicked' on it furiously hoping to get more details but something unexpected happened. The mark of the 'King in Yellow' was activated of its own accord, causing the price for this Eternal Blessing to fall.
One by one the number of zeros began to disappear until only four remained. It fell all the way down to 40,000 favour only thanks to the King in Yellow.
Hao Xuan was so taken aback that he didn't even know what to say.
'Is...this a gift? Or maybe like a flash sale or something? Or just the effect of the mark? '
Until this moment he hadn't realized that each respective mark needed to activate individually to get the best price, especially if the blessing in question was provided by that specific deity.
His finger hovered right above the buy option while he weighed the pros and cons.
