Kang Bao is a merchant, but hardly anyone can buy anything from her. She believes every item has its "destined value," and not everyone is qualified to possess them. Thus, her sales follow a strict rule, her goods have no fixed price, customers must state what they think the item is worth. Only when the customer's stated price exactly matches the true value in Kang Bao's mind will the transaction proceed. Kang Bao's valuation is not based on market price alone but on her subjective emotions toward the item, its intrinsic meaning, and its potential worth. Due to this nearly impossible condition, almost no one ever manages to purchase anything from her.
They are some strange and unexpected things, like one's own tears (cheap, because one often cries), a jar of clean air (somewhat expensive, because sandstorms are frequent at Jade Gate), or grains of sand stepped on by a great hero (expensive, because heroes are considered cool).
