"Brother Stone, you said you want to purchase some S-rank Sea Beast Blood?"
At Shi Ming's request, the two had finally changed their form of address from "Lord" to "Brother."
"That's right," Shi Ming confirmed with a nod.
This was his main reason for coming to the Pharaoh.
"Then there's no need to wait until tomorrow to pick and choose. My father is the captain of the Obelisk. Although he's only a D-rank Awakened, the title of captain in the Pharaoh's Cabinet Council is a legacy from the Land Era. It comes with priority purchasing rights for certain resources. It's just that..."
The young woman paused, seeming rather embarrassed.
"Just what?"
The old man, Ah Bu, sighed and spoke up to explain:
"It's just that the S-rank Sea Beast Flesh and Blood is incredibly expensive. We on the Obelisk can't afford it either, or we would have gifted you some as thanks for your help."
