His eyes scanned over the strange symbols, but now, instead of excitement, all he felt was doubt.
"This… this can't be right," he muttered. "I spent so much money on this! Why isn't it working?"
Ma Xing propped herself up on her elbows, looking amused.
"Wait… you actually paid for this thing?"
Su Jin hesitated before nodding. "Yeah… 100,000 points."
Ma Xing's smirk instantly faded. She stared at him, then suddenly burst into loud laughter.
"You… you got scammed!" she said between laughs.
"Oh my god, Su Jin, I thought you were dumb before, but this… this is on a whole new level!"
Su Jin's stomach dropped.
"What? No way. This is a real technique!" He pointed at the scroll. "It has to be! Those guys looked so serious!"
Ma Xing wiped a tear from the corner of her eye, still chuckling.
"Of course they looked serious! That's how scammers work, dummy! They act mysterious, make up some ancient-sounding name, and then take advantage of gullible people like you!"
