The Deadly Assassin Robin by Tristan Storm

Chapter 1354 Could It Be That Rità Is Still Alive?

For a moment, she wondered if the calculation methods in Rosha were somehow different from those in Earthend.

“What if I just buy one bottle?” Daphne asked cautiously.

“Ten thousand minus 20 equals 9,980.”

He displayed the number on the device for Daphne and Robin to sec.

“After returning one bottle, your total is 9,980 Netheris coins, plus a 100–coin refund for 10,080 Netheris coins.”

“Oh my God!” Daphne could hardly believe what she was seeing.

How had she gotten so confused by his calculations?

A bottle costs 20, and two bottles should be 40, but after returning one, the price jumped to 10,080?

Did Rosha’s math even work the same way as Earthend’s?

Daphne and Robin exchanged a look. “What if we just don’t want any bottles?”

“Sure, please wait a moment.” The man continued to tap away at the device with a polite smile.

“10,080 minus 20 equals 10,060, plus a 100–coin refund equals 10,160 Netheris coins.

“Your total comes to 10,160 Netheris coins.”
