Cheat Engine/CwCheat for crisis core

I can't seem to find the gil value.
Running around sector 8 (fountain) - current Gil = 2635

if we pretend that that is a hex value, then the dec = 9781

I search for this new scan value (value type = all on CE)
I buy a potion from the shop (50), new Gil = 2585 (dec = 9605)

use next scan - 0 results....

I just want to enjoy the story more than anything so I'm trying to make it as easy a play through as possible

I feel like I'm walking in the wrong direction...

Any thoughts?
