"A small bottle of Spirit of Life Serum is worth around one million. The money I've saved over the years should be enough. If it's not, I can borrow some. If that still doesn't work, there are many valuable gifts here today. I could sell a few and still gather enough.
"Money is not an issue. As long as Leonard can help me, I'll have a chance to buy the Spirit of Life Serum. This is amazing, truly amazing!"
At this moment, Kara was so excited she could hardly contain herself, as though the Spirit of Life Serum was already in her hands.
Kitty and Dipsy, who overheard her talking to herself, exchanged stunned glances.
Kitty swallowed hard, looking at Kara, and asked, "Kara, how much did you just say that Spirit of Life Serum costs? One million per bottle? My goodness! That's outrageous! Even if it were a big barrel, it would still be a bit too expensive."
In her mind, one million was money ordinary people could never earn. Even though her family was fairly well-off, it would be a huge burden for her to come up with a million.
And now, she was hearing that one bottle of Spirit of Life Serum was worth that much. It was hard to believe.
But the biggest shock was still to come. Kara sneered and said arrogantly, "A big barrel? You guys are dreaming. One million only gets you a small bottle about the size of a thumb. It would cost an astronomical fortune if anyone had a big barrel."
Kitty and Dipsy no longer doubted her words, but they began to wonder if they were living in the same world as others.
