Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

Chapter 479 Value and Use Value

After leaving the previous store, Xu Weiwei did the same thing again and bought other similar clothes at prices several times cheaper.

Gantz's reaction also changed from shock at the beginning to gradually calm down and fall into deep thought.

He had no idea about the prices of goods. The first mall the Seaforths took him to was Hayden. After he touched the ceiling, everything seemed cheap.

The ten thousand star coins he spent in the first store were not worth the value of any item on him and his sister, but that didn't mean he liked being cheated.

"The Imperial Capital Star is centered on the Imperial Palace, and is divided into eight circular zones from the inside to the outside. They are named A to H. Each zone is divided into several areas. We live in area A3." Xu Weiwei said calmly.

Gantz broke out of his thoughts and looked at her.

"The richest people in the Imperial Capital Star are concentrated in these nine plots of land within the Third Ring Road. Our family can be ranked among the rich." After Xu Weiwei finished speaking, she was afraid that Ganz would not understand, so she said bluntly -

“We are rich.”

"Much richer than 99.9% of the people on the Imperial Capital."

"As for other families, I read the survey on Starnet, so the results may not be accurate," Xu Weiwei said after a pause: 5% of people have a monthly income of 28 Star Coins or more, 23% have a monthly income of 5 Star Coins, 25% have a monthly income of 2.5 Star Coins, and some have a monthly income of around 5000 Star Coins."

"So little?" Ganz blurted out in surprise, but when he looked at the prices of the surrounding goods, he silently closed his mouth again.

5000 seemed like a lot, but he had been spending too much.

"I'm sorry, Wei'er... I didn't know I spent so much money..." Ganz said guiltily.

Xu Weiwei: “???”

"I haven't finished talking yet, what are you talking about?" Xu Weiwei asked in confusion. "Didn't I tell you that our family is rich and we are not afraid of you spending it. Even if we say we want to buy this entire mall right now, our parents will agree without blinking an eye."

"Cut~"

"You're really good at pretending..."

"I can even buy the palace..."

Others passing by heard this and laughed at them with disdain, looking at the two men as if they were two lunatics.

Xu Weiwei: “…”

After a pause, Xu Weiwei led Ganz out and said softly, "You don't have to be shy about spending money. You just need to gain some common sense and social experience to avoid being cheated by others."

"This place is not like your place. There are many bad people here, and their degree of badness is beyond your imagination. The behavior of asking for an exorbitant price just now is called ripping off customers. She knows that we are from an alien planet and are not familiar with this place. It is highly likely that she will not come back to buy things in the future, so she is unscrupulous."

"Later, when we said we were locals and frequented the area, they would be cautious because they knew they couldn't cheat us and they didn't want to do a one-time business."

Gantz seemed to have suddenly been enlightened, and he understood a lot more things.

Xu Weiwei stopped at a store selling drinks and bought a cup of scented tea for herself and Ganz. It was dry inside the mall, and after talking so much, she felt a little thirsty.

"So that's how it is... then, those people before! They sold a piece of clothing for hundreds of thousands, they were bigger liars!" Gantz was immediately filled with indignation when he thought about it.

Xu Weiwei smiled helplessly: "That's different."

"For some things, we cannot measure their price by their use value. The product itself may not be worth the price, but what we enjoy is the service, excellent quality, and the social identity and sense of value that the brand brings."

As soon as she saw Gantz's expression, Xu Weiwei knew that he didn't fully understand, so she immediately changed her words, "We have all played the game Star Trek, right?"

Gantz nodded.

"There was an item called the Dragon Scale Dagger. As soon as it was revealed, it was traded away for 168 million star coins."

"It's just a game prop, a string of code. Apart from the game itself, it has no value at all. But it can make players feel happy and gain the envy of others. So why do people have such an obsession with weapons?"

Xu Weiwei paused for a few seconds, giving Gantz room to think, and then slowly said: "We tend to think that the more advanced and rare the weapon is, the more powerful the person is. Even though he may be a rookie."

"It's about identity and status. The higher your status, the more respect you get."

"Someone once said, 'When you become rich, you will be surrounded by good people.' It's not that people have become good, but that you have become someone who can be flattered."

Gantz's face was serious, his eyes fixed on a point in the void, as if he was digesting these words.

After a while, Gantz shook his head and looked at Xu Weiwei.

He felt that his sister had a lot of things in her heart, like a bottomless pool. No matter how deep it was, there was always something if you looked down.

The role of taking care of others was also reversed after he came to the Imperial Capital Star.

Although he really liked his sister's concern, it seemed like he was an idiot if he needed someone else to tell him such basic things.

This can't go on any longer, Gantz thought secretly.

His sister is busy enough already, he can't let her worry about things like this anymore, he has to stand up for himself.

The two walked outside, and the cold air suddenly hit them, and Xu Weiwei shrank her neck.

Not far away, a furtive man was looking over here. When he saw them coming out, he carefully identified them for a long time before quickly calling, "Master! The young lady is out! She's at the south gate exit!"

An hour ago, Kane and his two companions followed Xu Weiwei here and watched her enter the mall, unable to do anything.

Kane's face is so recognizable that he would be recognized even with a mask on. If the eldest son of the Seaforth family was spotted visiting such a place, the news would immediately speculate whether something had happened to their family and they were about to go bankrupt.

In desperation, they had to split into two groups and wait at the two exits with the heaviest traffic.

Kane and Ryan, who received the message from the driver, rushed over and looked for a while before saying in disbelief: "That person is Wei'er?!"

"It can't be wrong. Master Gantz is still here."

"What's going on...what's irritating this girl..." Ryan muttered, then turned to ask Kane: "Is she under too much pressure at work recently? Has she mentioned it to you?"

Kane's face was stiff: "No..."

"She's dressed like this, even her brother can't recognize her..."

"Master, Miss, if they move, should we follow them?"

"Follow her! I wonder where else she can go..."
