Valerian Cross 1 & 2    

🔸 [Half-Eaten Lollipop] – Tastes like regret. Provides absolutely no benefits.

— Price: 5 Stars

I stared at it. Then at the bunny. Then back at it.

"You're joking."

The bunny's ears twitched. "Hey, it's a collector's item!"

I pinched the bridge of my nose. "I risk my life, narrowly avoid death twice, and all I can afford is a half-eaten lollipop?"

"Yup."

I exhaled slowly. "This economy is rigged."

The bunny chuckled, clearly having way too much fun. "Then stop being broke and earn more stars."

I squinted at him. ". . . 5 stars seems kind of low for a mission this hard, don't you think?"
