When Oakland and De Lagar were about to leave the restaurant, he suddenly walked to the counter and asked the waiter if he could see the bill for their meal.
He was simply curious about how much federal currency such a 'big meal' would cost. The electronic menu indicated that the restaurant offered delivery. He noticed that the little guy seemed to like the food here very much, and he would buy some for him when he had the chance.
The waiter knew that they were the people who had just dined there, so he quickly sent the electronic bill to Auckland's email address.
Auckland clicked on it and was completely shocked...
[1] Crystal Red Fish: 12,000 Federation Coins
[2] Roasted Insect Legs: 20,000 Federal Coins
[3] Five-shredded vegetable rolls: 8,000 federal coins
[4] Pan-fried pork slices: 10,000 Federation coins
【5】Drinks (4 people): 4000 Federal Coins
Total: 54,000 federal coins
In just one meal, he actually consumed more than 50,000 federal coins... If converted into nutrient solution, it would probably last him a whole semester!
Thinking about the balance in his account, he estimated that it was only enough to buy one dish. He was really too poor!
He had originally planned to go shopping and buy some clothes, but now he was starting to doubt whether he had enough money to buy even a pair of socks...
Dragal looked at Oakland's face and roughly understood what he was thinking. He stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. "What are you worried about? If you don't have enough money, I can lend you some. You're Lancelot now. The emblems you create will definitely be in high demand. Isn't it easy to earn Federation currency?"
"You're right." Oakland thought about how the virtual emblems he made should be worth a lot of money now. These virtual emblems were simple and convenient to make, and it was indeed an easy way to make money.
"Once you become more familiar with heraldry and are able to create physical heraldry offline, you won't have to worry about running out of Federation Coins anymore."
"Oh?" Oakland asked curiously, "How much would a physical emblem sell for?"
"Hahaha, if we sell one, it'll be enough for us to have another meal here," Dragal replied with a smile. "It just so happens that the third floor is a store specializing in mecha parts and emblems. If you're interested, we can go check it out later."
"OK."
The three of them went shopping on the first floor. Sure enough, the clothes here were all branded. Although the prices were not cheap, the fabrics and styles were very much to his liking. So, without much hesitation, he asked De Lagar to pay the bill for him and return it to him when he returned home in the evening.
Although Dragal told him not to pay it back in a hurry, he still decided to put the emblem in the virtual space up in the shop and sell it as soon as he returned. He had to earn more money. In addition to making his life better, he also had to ensure that he could pay when needed. He hoped that he would have the chance to see the cute little guy Joey again in the future.
I wonder if Hall would like to eat these too?
Huh? Why did I suddenly think of him?
Auckland couldn't help but put his hand to his forehead. Ever since he saw Hall's beast form, he couldn't help but imagine what he would look like as a giant ball of fur... If only he could have stroked him back then, it must have felt so good...
Oh, what a pity...
"What are you thinking about? Why does your expression keep changing?" De Lagar noticed that Auckland was suddenly distracted and asked curiously.
"Ahem, nothing, nothing..." Oakland decided to keep what happened in the bathroom secret for the time being. With Hall's awkward personality, if he revealed his majestic beast form and sudden stupid behavior, he would probably kill him, right?
Nowadays, express delivery is widely available and extremely fast. People no longer need to carry shopping bags around. Instead, the store clerk will pack the clothes and deliver them directly to the customer's address by express delivery.
Auckland really enjoyed the convenience of Future World. After shopping, he and his two friends went to the third floor together.
There were unexpectedly many people on the third floor. There were not only soldiers and students, but even interstellar mercenaries. Some of them came to modify their mechas, some came to buy mecha accessories, but there were even more people who came to exchange for emblems.
When Auckland and his friends arrived at the shop selling heraldic materials, it was already crowded with people. The shop was mainly divided into two areas. The left side mainly sold heraldic materials, while the right side was filled with rows of glass cabinets containing various physical heraldries in boxes.
On the left, intelligent robots serve customers, while on the right, special security personnel guard these valuable coats of arms. If customers are interested in purchasing the coats of arms, they can ask them to take them out for careful inspection or testing.
The glass case was doing quite well, with several prominent-looking people selecting coats of arms. Auckland went over with great interest. However, he discovered that while there were many types of coats of arms in the case, they were mostly C-grade.
The only two B-level emblems were placed in an explosion-proof cabinet, and there were four security personnel guarding it.
"Why is there no A-level emblem?" Oakland asked Dragal quietly.
"Pfft, do you think A-level emblems are easy to come by? Physical emblems are several times harder to make than virtual ones. Not only is the success rate low, but the quality is also rarely good. Only masters of heraldry can produce physical emblems above A-level. If you want to buy an A-level emblem that suits you, you have to use your connections to ask a master to tailor it for you. The price is quite high, do you understand?" Dragal explained to him with a smile.
"Oh... I see..." Oakland thought of the A-rank physical emblem still lying in his dorm room, and couldn't help but feel a little elated. "So, if... I make a physical emblem in the future, where would I sell it?"
"Honestly, you're so talented, you'll definitely have no problem making a C-rank emblem in the future. You might even have a chance to make a B-rank. Then you can just bring it to this shop and sell it. This shop has the background of the Heraldry Guild, so the prices are very fair."
"Haha, you talk as if it's true. You're just a little brat who hasn't even grown all his hair yet, and you think you're a master of heraldry?" An interstellar mercenary with green hair on his head sneered. He was accompanying a few brothers to choose heraldry near the counter and happened to hear their conversation clearly.
In his opinion, Auckland and his friends were only sixteen or seventeen years old, and they kept talking about A-level and B-level. That golden-haired boy also swore that he had good talent and that it would be absolutely no problem to make a C-level emblem. He said it so lightly, as if it was particularly easy. He really didn't know his own limitations.
Dragal stopped talking and looked coldly at the green-haired mercenary. Judging from the badge on his chest, he was only a C-class mercenary group. No wonder he looked down on others.
One had to admit that when Delagar got serious, he was quite intimidating. The man felt inexplicably uneasy when he saw his gaze, wondering how such a young man could possess such an imposing aura. His companions pulled him aside, urging him to tone it down and stop causing trouble. He then curled his lips and turned his gaze away.
I thought the matter was over, but by coincidence, I ran into Risa and some of her girlfriends.
"Brother Dragal, why are you here? And with this loser?!" Risa's eyes lit up immediately when she saw Dragal, and she couldn't help but come over to greet him excitedly. However, when she saw the annoying loser next to him, the fire of jealousy made her face suddenly become ugly.
"Risa! Watch your words! Auckland is my friend!" De Lagar was also very troubled by Risa's outspokenness.
"Brother Delagar..." After being scolded by Delagar, Risa pouted in grievance, and the look she gave Auckland became even more hostile. Why did this loser stand beside such an outstanding brother Delagar?! Brother Delagar was obviously his!
"Brother Dragal, didn't you give away a coat of arms during the last final exam? I just made a C-level enhanced defense coat of arms yesterday. Can I give it to you?" Risa held a black box in her tender white hands, and her beautiful eyes looked at Dragal with anticipation.
"Little girl, he doesn't think highly of your emblem. He already has a very powerful herald by his side!" Before Dragal could answer, the green-haired mercenary suddenly appeared again.
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Risa glared at the green-haired mercenary fiercely, "Brother Dragal wouldn't be interested in that loser!"
"Tsk tsk tsk... I wasn't lying to you. Just now, your dear brother said he had great talent and that he had confidence in him and that he could definitely create a B-level emblem!" The green-haired mercenary, eager to watch the fun, deliberately recounted what he had just heard. "I heard this with my own ears. You can ask him if he said it himself?"
