Milk Add-on Free thought the temporary ten-day contract in his hand was still in an unsigned state.
This temporary contract could be resold to other players without extra charge for milk.
Wasn't it somewhat reasonable to price the first SSR-grade hireable NPCs in Spirit at five thousand gold?
When the players around heard the word "five thousand gold," their excitement cooled down instantly, replacing the joy they felt upon discovering two wild SSR-grade NPCs.
If we were talking about the game of Conflict, forget five thousand gold, even five hundred thousand might see fierce competition. But this is Spirit... known as the most expensive game in terms of gold price history.
Five thousand gold equated to more than a million in real currency!
If they had a million, they wouldn't be playing cards or mahjong in Spirit; they'd have been investing or doing business already.
How could these two SSR-grade NPCs possibly be worth as much as a real-life house?
