[Hey Nan Tian. Can I ask you for something first?]

"Oh? Little Snow's asking me for something? Well this is pretty unusual." Nan Tian said.

Shiro pulled a slightly annoyed face.

"Alright alright. Sure, tell me what you want and if it's simple enough I should be able to get it." He chuckled as he knew he shouldn't push her buttons too much.

As cute as her annoyed face was, he knew he would be in trouble if he went too far.

[I'm asking about an item. Medicine type. I don't know the name but the effects should be something like a rebirth of the whole body.] 

"Expand on 'rebirth of the whole body.'" Nan Tian asked. There were multiple types of rebirth medicine but each effect is slightly different.

There were rebirths as in change races, reset their level, change genders etc… He didn't know all of them and 'whole body' was a rather vague term to be working with.

[Something like washing the body and revitalising it. Repairing any hidden injuries no matter how serious and purging the impurities within the body.]

"Ah, you're talking about the Phoenix Rebirth type pills. Why do you want to know about them?"

'Seems like he's not suspicious.' Shiro thought with slight relief.

[Because cleansing the body should increase a person's potential along with their stats, right? So, a lot of people should want the pill.] Shiro replied.

"Hmm… I suppose. But you should know that a full rebirth would be extremely painful and mostly fatal. People would normally choose a 1 to 5% rebirth." Nan Tian said with a shake of his head.

[I see. I wanted to increase my potential since it's a little limited right now.] Shiro sighed.

"Little Snow, as a monster, shouldn't you have the 'monster' title? Why didn't you kill more people to level it up? That should help you increase your potential." Nan Tian said.

'How did he know...' Shiro thought with narrowed eyes.

"It's pretty easy to guess. Especially since I know that you killed two people now. One in the raid and one for the item."

[True. But, I'm not going to go around killing low level innocent people who've never crossed paths with me. I would go for criminals or bandits, but seems like the government is doing a good job of keeping them at bay.] Shiro shrugged.

"Hou~… why do you seem more humane than some humans? I'm pretty sure that over 70% of people would go kill poor and under levelled people just to level up their title. And yet you're almost like a saint compared to them. And you're a monster too."

[First, NEVER EVER Call me a goddamn saint. I refuse to have any connection with the likes of some bullshit being known as god. Second, I'm not doing it because it is against my code of conduct.] Shiro typed out with a serious and almost angry face.

Nan Tian paused seeing how much repulsion Shiro had just at the mention of her being a saint.

'Seems like anything related to the church is a no go for her.' Nan Tian thought.

"Alright. Then can I call you little snow then?"

[As if you're going to change just because I said so.] Shiro rolled her eyes.

"Hahaha, true. But following the topic from before, what is your code of conduct? I am rather curious."

[It's simple. I help people who I find interesting. Ignore people who I don't find interesting. And if they attack me first with the intent to kill, I naturally kill them in return. I don't bother with that whole, return kindness with 100 times the kindness and return pain with 100 times the pain.]

[100 times is rather vague. Just say repay kindness with kindness and pain with pain.] Shiro ranted slightly.

"Hahaha, seems like you read a few books? Eastern fantasies tend to include that a lot." Nan Tian laughed.

[I just found a few extracts when I was browsing on the net.] She shrugged.

"Hmm, do feel free to pay me back with 100 times the kindness though~"

[You sure it isn't 100 times the pain for all the times you stalked me?] Shiro replied.

"Ah, I never hurt you though. So it'll be 100 times the stalking. This branch master feels happy that you're taking so much of your time out to hang out with me." Nan Tian said shamelessly.

[As if. I got better things to do than stalking a stalker. But back on the topic of the Phoenix Rebirth Type pills, do you have any on you?] Shiro asked.

"I don't have any on me as of this moment. I can probably get one sent over, but it'll only be a 1% to 2% rebirth pill." Nan Tian replied.

[What do I have to pay?]

"Nothing. Just join my branch and that'll serve as payment."

"…"

Looking at her unamused face, Nan Tian coughed lightly.

"Fine. Normally a 1 to 2% rebirth pill would cost around 5 large Silver Erin's. Which in dollar terms are around a few trillion give or take? I'm not too sure." Nan Tian shrugged.

[Erin? You don't use dollars?]

"No. With the amount of dollars the monsters are dropping, it gets a little out of hand. Therefore, Erin Smith made the premium currency, Erin Coins. These coins are made using a special type of process that only a few people know.

"I don't know what happened exactly since this was a long time ago, but now the higher-level adventurers all use Erin Coins as the main currency. Dollars are only used for lower level adventurers."

[Then what's the lowest exchange rate for Erin?] Shiro asked, curious about this new currency.

"The lowest Erin coin is bronze. Followed by silver, large silver, gold, large gold, Platinum and so on. A billion dollars equate to 1 bronze Erin coin so 5 large silver Erin's would be around 50 trillion dollars then."

'50 Trillion?!' Shiro thought. She had never expected a single pill to cost her 50 trillion.

[Then your potential awaken stone from before, how much would it cost in terms of Erin?] Shiro asked.

"In terms of Erin… probably a Platinum Erin Coins." Nan Tian said.

'Platinum?!'

[And you thought it was a good idea to put it on sale?]

"How else was I going to attract the level 50's away for you to get the Awakening Stone?" Nan Tian gestured at her.

[True.]

'50 Trillion… How do I even pay that…' Shiro thought seriously. 50 trillion was indeed a large sum.

However, it was a small price to pay to fix her broken links. Even if it only fixed her links by 1%, it was worth it.

[What exactly do I have to do in your sect branch?] Shiro asked.

"Nothing. The sect is just a place to nurture talents. Outside of the times where the sect is in danger, you don't need to do anything."

[But what is in it for the sect? Helping out people with just the demand of assisting when it is in danger seems too good to be true.] Shiro narrowed her eyes.

"Ah you see, I had the same thought when I first joined. But it's the truth. From what I've seen, in the many years I have been in the sect, the sect master just honestly wants to nurture talents." Nan Tian Shrugged.

[Seems a little off though.]

"How about I cut you some slack then? You'll be something like a mysterious sect member that I recruited. You can use the disguise skill that you have to hide your identity. All I ask is that you help me out every so often if you can." Nan Tian said with open arms.

[How often?]

"Let's say it depends on what you can do. If I have a task within the area you are in, you can help me out a little. Naturally, I wouldn't ask you if the task is too hard for you.

"But whether you agree or not, I'll still get you the phoenix rebirth pill." Nan Tian said as his body flickered away.

"!!!" Shiro paused in shock seeing how fast he left.
