Chapter 404 - This couple must have saved the Milky Way Galaxy in their past lives.
The cashier was about to scan when Alexander said, "No need to scan. Just calculate based on the price of the most expensive book, multiplied by the total quantity. We have a total of 615 books!"
The cashier pointed to the book on top of the cart and said, "The most expensive book we have is this one, the classic novel 'XX Chronicles,' in three volumes. It's priced at $1100 per book. Shall we calculate based on this price?"
$1100 per book? This is so expensive! Alexander regretted a little. He thought the most expensive book wouldn't exceed $100. But he couldn't take back what he had said, so he felt embarrassed.
Ivy also knew they were in for a big loss, but who was Alexander? He was the head of the Ashford family. His words were golden, and they couldn't let him lose face. She promptly took out her unlimited spending card.
However, Alexander stopped her and took out his own card. "Use mine!"
"But isn't this yours?" Ivy pointed to the unlimited spending card.
"That's your card!" Alexander said domineeringly. "Put it away. The husband will pay!"
"Oh!" Ivy obediently put away the unlimited spending card.
As Alexander was about to pay, Eldie asked the cashier, "How much does the second most expensive book cost?"
The cashier thought for a moment and answered, "98 dollars!"
"Great, let's calculate based on 98 then!" Eldie picked out the three volumes of "XX Chronicles" from the stack of books and said, "We originally had 615 books, but now I'm taking three, so we have 612 left. At 98 dollars per book, the total is 59,976 dollars. Dad, just give her 60,000!"
Then, Eldie winked at her five sisters mischievously and said, "Let's put these three books back together. They're too expensive. We won't buy them!"
"Okay!" The other five little girls instantly understood.
As they put the three books back on the shelf, the six little ones took turns flipping through them and quickly memorized all the contents of the most expensive classic novel.
The crowd was in awe.
"What a prodigy!"
"So impressive, and they're only three years old!"
"Wow, how did they cultivate this child?"
"Do we even need to ask how they cultivated him? Just look at how many books they bought!"
Seeing so many books, the onlookers no longer envied them. How much money had they spent? How much pressure would the child have to bear?
Alexander paid the bill, and the six little ones quickly returned.
The cashier said, "Do you really not want that classic novel? You can bring it here separately, and I can ring it up for you!"
The six children shook their heads and said, "It's okay. We already know it by heart!"
Amidst the astonishment of the onlookers, Eldie took Alexander's big hand, acted cute, and said, "Daddy, you must be happy, right?"
Happy about what? Alexander was a bit puzzled.
Forthie said, "Do we even need to ask? Dad must be happy! Originally, with 615 books, if we calculated at $1500 per book, it would be $922,500. After we took three books, we can directly give them..."
"Dad saved 862,524 dollars!" Sixie nodded vigorously, "Yes, dad saved 862,524 dollars all at once. How can dad not be happy?"
Fifthie said, "No, no, you all got it wrong. Dad paid a whole 60,000 dollars, not 59,976 dollars, so we only saved dad 862,500 dollars. You said 24 dollars too much."
"Oh, right, right, we almost forgot!" the other five little ones said, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Alexander was stunned by the children's conversation. How could they just casually say these numbers? Don't they need to think about it even when using a computer to calculate?
Ivy knew that the children had become so talented, all thanks to the Magic Pearl.
Worrying that the children would expose too much, which would be harmful rather than beneficial, she immediately pulled the children back, "It's getting late, let's go home and have lunch!"
Behind them, there were continuous exclamations.
"To give birth to six at once, these adorable sextuplets, this couple must have saved the galaxy in their previous lives..."
"To give birth to sextuplets is one thing, but they are all child prodigies..."
"And not only child prodigies but also so cute..."
