Actually, I think city centers are the places that have some things that are really expensive. I recall visiting a high-end shopping mall with my friends after a long day. We wanted to relax and unwind together. I also helped my family pick out some luxury items to strengthen our bond. When I checked the prices in shipping mode, I found that everything in that place was very expensive, much higher than at the local supermarket. I remember buying something that cost around 9,000,000 units, which was a high price for me. However, I think it's an affordable price for some people, not just me. I think that's the place where many things are so expensive.
