The sea breeze was refreshing, with a fragrant aroma wafting through the air. After eating and drinking their fill, the group prepared to return to the ship. Puap reached into his pocket, and after feeling around for a while, generously took out a handful of shiny Lake Gems to pay for the meal that had fed dozens. However, the elderly village chief, with hair streaked with white, smiled humbly, bowing deeply at the waist, and carefully shook his head to refuse.
"Uh? What does he mean by this?"
Puap was taken aback and looked towards the Mayan merchant Tikalo. Tikalo smiled slightly and explained.
"Captain Pu, this fishing village has little contact with the outside world and is not under the governance of any Divine Descendant. They do not accept gems, only goods they can use."
"What? Goods they can use?"
