“No-nothing! Just thinking of home!”
Meng Lei took a deep breath and suppressed the disorderly memories back to the depths of his heart. He then said with a forced smile. “I am definitely going home during our winter vacation. There is no reason for me to stay here in the academy.”
“That’s right!”
Upon seeing that Meng Lei had recovered his composure, Fatty Hart and Daniel believed him.
Fatty Hart then laughed. “A semester passed in the blink of an eye, and I won’t be able to see you for more than a month! I feel melancholic and a little sad when I think about it!”
“That’s right!” Daniel nodded with a forlorn expression!
“The two of you... Is this necessary?” Meng Lei smiled and shook his head. “But you are right. We won’t be able to see each other during the holidays. I also feel the same in my heart. Why don’t we indulge ourselves today? How does that sound?”
“Good idea! My treat!” Fatty Hart’s eyes lit up instantly as he patted his chest. “Where do you want to go? Just name the place. I won’t reject it! Hehe, ‘that’ sort of place is fine too!”
After finishing speaking, he squinted his eyes, with an unnatural look on his face.
“Haha, look at you!” Meng Lei rolled his eyes. “Could you not be so lecherous?”
“That’s right! I am still a kid!” Daniel also glared at Fatty Hart, with a look of condemnation!
Fatty Hart chuckled. “Hehe! I was just joking!”
“How about Juxian Restaurant?” Meng Lei suggested. “I heard that it offers high-end magical beast delicacies. The taste is unique, and it is famous throughout the city!”
“What the hell!? Brother, you actually knew about Juxian Restaurant? Looks like I have to spend a lot of money today!”
Chapter 49: Spatial Ring, Fled When Caught
Today, Meng Lei, Fatty Hart, and Daniel ate and drank at Juxian Restaurant, venting out the pain and hardships they had experienced over the last six months, as well as celebrating the upcoming winter vacation. They helped themselves to generous portions of meat and wine, experiencing a joy that they had not felt before!
However, when the three of them walked out of the restaurant, Fatty Hart had a tearful and painful expression on his face!
He had spent a lot on this meal. His savings were... completely gone!
“Fatty, don’t feel bad!”
Meng Lei patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, “Isn’t it just over 10,000 gold coins? I will treat you next semester!”
“Brother, don’t you know?” Fatty Hart shook his head and wailed. “My old man only gives me 20,000 gold coins per month for pocket money, and I have already spent more than half of it as soon as it arrived. How am I able to survive this winter vacation?”
,000 gold coins?
Pocket money?
Meng Lei felt that deep malice people usually had toward nobility.
What the hell!
He had to run around all the time and risk his life at the arena every few days, just to earn slightly over 20,000 gold coins per month!
Fatty, you have a good life! You have so much pocket money every month!
Indeed, comparing yourself to others would only create unwanted frustrations!
“Although the bill was high, the food at Juxian Restaurant is really delicious, especially the garlic-flavored barbecued Sun Moon Divine Frog, which is really memorable. We enjoyed it so much that we didn’t want to leave!” Daniel licked his lips, revealing a satisfied look as he recalled the taste of the dish.
Fatty Hart gritted his teeth and said angrily, “That goes without saying! The Sun Moon Divine Frog is a Seventh-Grade Magical Beast, and each one costs 30,000 gold coins. That barbecued Sun Moon Divine Frog earlier cost me more than 4,300 gold coins!”
“Hehe! The price is indeed outrageous!” Daniel chuckled.
He knew that Fatty Hart had just spent a lot of money and was depressed, so he did not say anything more. Although Fatty Hart was a noble, he was a student, after all. He had spent more than 20,000 gold coins for a meal, which was indeed outrageous!
“A Seventh-Grade Sun Moon Divine Frog is worth 30,000 gold coins!?”
Meng Lei’s heart trembled. This was not a small amount. According to his conversion, this was worth 3,000 Attribute Points!
,000!
Meng Lei’s eyes widened!
“The Sun Moon Divine Frog was a Seventh-Grade Magical Beast. Generally, the price for Seventh-Grade Magical Beasts begins with 100,000 gold coins. However, prices could differ due to taste, size, and effects!”
Fatty Hart said in a bored tone, “The Sun Moon Divine Frog is delicious and a rare delicacy. However, due to its small size, the whole Sun Moon Divine Frog’s price is not high. It costs only about 30,000 gold coins. Other Seventh-Grade Magical Beasts could fetch more than this!”
“Seventh-Grade Magical Beasts begin with 100,000 gold coins?” Meng Lei’s eyes brightened. “If we can hunt down a Seventh-Grade Magical Beast, wouldn’t we make a windfall?”
“Yes, you may make a windfall, but it’s too dangerous!” When Fatty Hart heard what Meng Lei said, he couldn’t help but shiver. “These Seventh-Grade Magical Beasts are terrifying. They are not something we can deal with. Brother, you should drop the idea!”
“Haha, I was just mentioning it casually. Please, don’t take me seriously!”
...
After leaving the restaurant, Fatty Hart and Daniel returned to the academy to pack their things, while Meng Lei went to the Magic Device Market. This time round, he was not here to pick up attributes, but to buy magic devices!
It was winter vacation, and he would return to Magical Beast Village. Of course, he would enter the Magical Beast Forest to train, hunt, and kill magical beasts, pick up attributes and magic cores, and earn gold coins!
Fatty Hart’s words had enlightened Meng Lei.
