“Lesley, eavesdropping is not a good habit!” Matthew frowned.
“I’m sorry, Lord Matthew. I just wanted to look for Palaya.”
Lesley reacted quickly. She stuck out her tongue and looked pitiful.
Fortunately, Matthew did not argue with her and just left quickly.
A moment later, Lesley entered the hut and found Palaya sitting by the bed, fully dressed. She was fiddling with the expensive cosmetics.
When she saw Lesley, Palaya complained,
“Why didn’t you remind me that Lord Matthew would come? I didn’t even have time to put on makeup.”
Lesley giggled as she pounced on her best friend and ravaged her for a while. Then, she asked,
“Did he do anything to you?”
Palaya said in confusion,
“He only asked me to make the bread a little unpalatable.”
Lesley nodded thoughtfully.
“What did you think of?” Palaya knew that her best friend was smarter than her, so she immediately said coquettishly, “Tell me, tell me!”
Lesley revealed a perverted expression.
“Not until you let me have a good time first.”
Palaya said bitterly, “When have I said no to that?”
As she spoke, she could not help but laugh out loud. The two girls began to laugh and play on the bed.
The next evening.
After a busy day, the acolytes who returned from the wasteland used [Untainted] on themselves.
A bright and clear sound and light effect flashed by, and their unkempt hair and dirty faces were instantly clean and full of energy.
Some of the apprentices even took out some stamina potions and swallowed them. The stamina that they had consumed during the day’s work was instantly replenished.
Lesley watched this scene silently.
Someone complained to Palaya,
“The bread you made today is too disgusting!”
Before Palaya could speak, Lesley rushed forward.
“Feel free not to eat it!”
Palaya didn’t understand why her best friend was so brash, but she knew that it was always right to follow Lesley.
Therefore, she said righteously, “Feel free not to eat it!”
The apprentice was obviously a little afraid of Lesley’s identity as an assistant. He only snorted coldly.
“It doesn’t matter. There’s the dining car from Rolling Stone Town anyway!”
As soon as he finished speaking.
A busy shadow appeared in the oak forest.
The dining car arrived.
The one pushing the cart was still the Tauren skeleton.
Everyone immediately rushed forward.
The one at the front was none other than Lesley.
Palaya jogged behind her.
The dining cart settled down, and everyone lined up.
Lesley was naturally the first.
“Give me one. How much is it?”
The Tauren skeleton replied honestly,
“Three gold coins per serving.”
Lesley shook her head.
“It’s too cheap. I’ll give you five gold coins. If you can bring me some fruits tomorrow, I’ll pay three more gold coins for any fruit.”
She then took a portion of food from the dining cart, threw down five gold coins, and left quickly.
Palaya looked at this scene in a daze.
She obviously couldn’t understand Lesley’s intentions, but Lesley had her own set of survival wisdom for being able to survive in the Mage Academy.
“I’ll give you five gold coins. Bring me some fruits tomorrow, and I’ll give you three more gold coins.”
Palaya said confidently to Peggy, then took a portion of food and left.
The people at the back of the line were all dumbfounded.
Which buyer would haggle and raise the price?
But very quickly.
Someone figured it out.
After all, they were all from Mage Academies, so their brains were definitely good, and they were even more familiar with the ways of the world.
After Lambier, who was third in line, had an epiphany, he immediately followed suit.
“I’ll also pay five gold coins. And I’ll take the same deal with the fruits.” The people behind him were even more exaggerated.
“I’ll pay six gold coins. I don’t necessarily want fruits. Milk is fine too.”
“I’ll pay ten gold coins, no fruit, and here’s an extra five gold coins as compensation for your hard work. Please help me tell Lord Matthew that you’ve worked hard.”
“Do you have more? I’ll buy them all!”
“Is this accessory beside the dining car for sale? And the horn on your head, I’m sorry, I thought it was an accessory. Is your necklace an accessory? Are you selling it? I’ll pay a high price.”
In just fifteen minutes.
The food in the dining car was bought clean.
All that was left was a bald Peggy.
And a bare dining car.
At this moment, an apprentice who had gone to relieve himself rushed over. He was extremely annoyed when he saw this scene. He could only bite the bullet and ask,
“Hello, do you sell dining cars?”
At night, Peggy shared the news with Matthew and showed him the earnings for the day.
“Matthew, you finally found a proper job!
“You don’t know how rich those apprentices are. Damn it, why were you so poor when you were still an apprentice?
“Are you pretending to be poor? Do you actually have a small treasury outside?”
Peggy hugged the pile of gold coins and shouted.
Matthew explained helplessly,
“They are mages who have been trained properly. A rogue mage like me can’t compare to them.”
His face was also filled with surprise.
“These guys are even richer than I imagined. They are indeed true mages!”
He thought about it carefully. It made sense. Sif had 1500 gold as pocket money, and this was based on the fact that she was not a mage, and Rolling Stone Town was not the richest territory.
Those who were able to enter the Mage Academy were all either rich or noble characters. They might look ordinary among the apprentices, but outside, they might be the son of a feudal lord, the daughter of a city lord, or at least the child of a rich man..
