Min-ho took his time reading through every relic.
'Damn,' he thought, as he found every single one of them most invaluable. Yet he couldn't help but focus on their price tags. The numbers the System put on almost every item in its Shop was one of the major reasons Z-Streamers found it hard to grow.
Without getting Sponsored Gifts, being able to purchase the most basic items would be an uphill battle. Considering how practically everything had a durability limit and killing a single Spector would not be enough to buy said items back, most Z-Streamers completely ignored the Shop at times.
Often, the gear and relics they had were found on the battlefield, and not in the Shop.
'But it's different for me,' Min-ho thought, turning his sights to the screens flashing in front of him.

Gulping, he went back to the main menu, then he peered at his Coins.
[Name: Mee Min-ho, Rank: E]
[Affinities, Equipment]
[Inventory, Shop]
[Coins: 11,560]
Min-ho's heart thudded as he beheld his Coins.
'Eleven thousand five hundred and sixty Coins,' he thought, his heart beating faster.
This made all the difference. Assuming this wasn't a one-time thing, he would grow so fast, he could leave the Z-Tower at the Second Layer and return home to his sister.
'Incredible,' Min-ho thought, as he stared at the multitude of Systems.
***
Half an hour had passed before the Gifts had stopped coming in for most of the important Z-Streamers. During that time, Min-ho had gathered a total of 45,350 Coins, which he spent to purchase two additional items.
[Armor Purchased]
[5,000 Coins Deducted]
[Armor 'Commoner's Armor' Acquired]
[Item Transferred To Inventory]
[Potion Purchased]
[5,000 Coins Deducted]
[Potion 'Blood Burner' Acquired]
[Item Transferred To Inventory]
After combing through his entire System, he found these two items to be the most necessary as of now. He didn't want to spend too much Coins until he was sure he could come back here. But for now, everything—with the exception of clothing—was far too expensive.
Even Consumables, which were food items like bread, rice, water and so on, were priced incredibly high.
'The Z-Tower just wants to suck us dry,' Min-ho thought with a grimace.
Looking at the Systems around him, Min-ho felt annoyed by the fact that the Nightshade streams were drawing to a close. And just after half an hour…
Of course there were still some getting Gifts, but those were much too small to bother with. Also, Min-ho wasn't aiming to steal from smaller Z-Streamers even though they were partaking in obscene activities to get those Gifts.
The state of the matter was that however they went about making their Coins didn't really matter in a place like this. They needed it desperately and that was what was important.
'A shame I can't bring myself to do the same,' Min-ho thought with a sigh.
As he was just about to get ready to leave the System Center—as he had come to call it—a thought came to his mind, causing him to frown.
'Strange no one brought it up,' Min-ho thought, wondering why at the very least, the Blue-hair didn't even attempt to woo Savior's friend into joining him in a Nightshade stream. He was handsome enough to be a star and had the body for it.
Somehow, it seemed they all unanimously agreed to never engage in such activities.
'What are the odds of that?' he thought with a sarcastic grin.
The more he thought about it, the more Savior kept ringing in his mind.
'Honestly, what is her goal?'
