Even though one-coloured energy crystals were the lowest kind of crystal and were only worth $50 per pinky-sized piece, Ainsley and the Sloan Family had no single energy crystal.

  Grandpa Yofan also didn't prepare energy crystals since he didn't expect Ainsley to earn a lot of money to reach the 11th floor, anyway.

  Now, without one-colouredd energy crystals, Ainsley couldn't enter the 11th floor onwards!

  The baby instantly looked at the Godfather spirit and secretly sent a message through telepathy.

  [Uncle, does the casino accept trading energy crystals with dollars?]

  Ainsley purposely didn't ask the casino staff since she's afraid that the casino staff would laugh at her for not having an energy crystal.

  Those who visited the 11'th floor would at least be a mid-ranked mafia family or from other forces on par with that level.

  For those families, having an energy crystal was a must, even if one could only afford the lowest of the lowest, the one-coloured crystal.

  For Ainsley not to have any and even asked whether she could buy it from the casino…


  Wouldn't that disgrace her image as the mysterious and soon-to-be legendary baby gambler?

  Ainsley had no choice but to ask the Godfather, thinking that the spirit could help her. However, the Godfather, who used to play at the Billios Casino, also shook his head.

  [Do you think that buying an energy crystal is as easy as exchanging dollars with the silver coins from this casino?]

  The Godfather let out a snort. He suddenly thought that he should educate Ainsley about a lot of things existing in this world.

  [Listen, lil lass. A piece of pinky-sized energy crystal might only be worth around 50 dollars, but it's not about price. It's about connection.]

  [Connection?] Ainsley blinked. She still didn't understand this sh*t with energy crystals.

  Is there even a thing that can't be bought with money? She's rich now, she should be able to buy energy crystals!

  Seeing Ainsley's confusion, the Godfather shook his head once more.

  [Lil lass, the energy crystal market isn't open to the public. Only a bunch of forces with connections to those energy crystal merchants can purchase them.]

  The Godfather silently recalled his past life when he had to struggle to get an energy crystal just because he's not affiliated with any forces. He's truly a lone expert back then.

  [Energy crystals can only be found within crystals mine full of dangers such as monsters and wild beasts.]

  The Godfather started explaining.

  [As such, only several powerful forces can own the mines and monopolize the energy crystal's market!]

  Of course, other forces could obtain energy crystals from the mines not owned by these forces. Even the powerful forces couldn't possibly monopolize all the energy crystal's mines existing in this world.

  Some mines existed in the fairy's territories, others were located at the elves' and other mythical creatures' territories.

  Well, the lucky adventurers could find energy crystals on some weird trees or plants, inside a crystal-devouring beast' stomach, and so on.

  However, 70% of energy crystals used in the ability users' society were all controlled by the large forces.

  That's why, when one wanted to buy the energy crystals, they had to have a connection with the big forces first.

  Even though the price of energy crystal' price didn't hike up that much because the government also had a hand in the business, it's still a challenge to buy some.

  Those who could buy the energy crystals were recognized as the 'real', true-blue mafia families!

  When Ainsley heard of this, her jaw dropped to the floor.

  What? Just to buy a pinky-sized one-coloured energy crystal is already such a hassle?! Fck??

  Where should I go to buy some crystals then?

  Ainsley thought that the Billios Casino would provide energy crystals as well, because they seemed to be influential.

  However, the casino simply let the gamblers bring their own crystals to gamble.

  They just provided the platform to gamble while also gamble against the customers to get some of their energy crystals as a payment.

  So, without bringing their own energy crystals and let the staff store it inside the casino's golden card, one couldn't enter the 11th floor to gamble!

  Ainsley suddenly had the urge to cry.

  Our Sloan Family still has a weak influence in the mafia society……where do we even buy some energy crystals?!

  What Ainsley didn't know was that Finley, her best friend, owned a high-quality mine and could easily solve her problem.

  Alas, she didn't know about this, and only thought of Finnie, her fairy friend.

  Finnie used a fist-sized 7-coloured energy crystal for her, so he should have tons of one-colored energy crystals as well.

  She thought of asking Finnie, but she didn't even know where he was……he should still be at the outskirts.

  Not to mention that the baby just realized the value of energy crystals and didn't think she was shameless enough to ask Finnie.

  Man, even a pinky-sized one-coloured energy crystal is so hard to get……what more a fist-sized 7-coloured energy crystal?

  It's said that a pinky-sized 7-coloured crystal can restore one's special energy for about 70%, yet the price is already close to 500.000 dollars.

  The bigger the crystal, the more people can use it. A pinky-sized crystal can only be used once but a fist-sized can be used 5 times before losing its value!

  Recalling how casually her fairy friend gave the fist-sized rainbow crystal, Ainsley broke in a cold sweat.

  Ah, ah, Finnie. I didn't know you are so generous! That crystal must be worth a plane, right?!

  Ainsley bit her lips. She reluctantly tossed aside her thoughts to focus on the current problem.

  How could she acquire some energy crystals when she has no connections to the sellers?
