You are also dining here?

Walking to the academy gate, Lylia smiled and said: "You were really cool just now, daring to talk to Jankos like that. Perhaps in this entire academy, you are the only one who dares to do that."

Lylia finished speaking and looked at Noan. Suddenly, she realised that he wasn't looking at her. On the contrary, he was looking down at something.

She also lowered her head, following his gaze, finding her pressing his arm into the narrow gap between her two large mountains.

"Ack!" Lylia was startled and let go, her face red: "You… this…"

"Ah!" Noan glanced at Lylia and teased, "What just happened? I just felt something very soft and warm."

Lylia covered her chest and pouted, "You pretended to forget so you wouldn't have to take responsibility, right?"

"Hahahaha… Don't think too much, I was really scared by that idiot just now, so I don't remember what just happened." Noan said with an innocent face.

"AAA!!" Lylia frowned as if she was about to cry: "You have to take responsibility; otherwise, tomorrow I will tell the entire school that you have…"

"Alright! Alright!" Noan sighed, feeling a bit of a headache: "You hugged me, I didn't hug you, how can you say that I bullied you?"

"I don't care." Lylia pouted: "Everyone will definitely believe me; no one will believe you."

"You… Ah! Alright, wait for me to get to the conversion centre, then I'll take you out to eat, okay?"

"Hehehe…" Lylia suddenly changed her expression, smiling mischievously and triumphantly: "I'll spare you for now."

…

At the conversion centre, Noan converted 10 E-rank energy stones into credit points and F-rank energy stones to level up as a lord.

Luckily, these E-rank energy stones all came from Lickers, an (E+) rank monster, so their quality was much higher than normal.

Because of this, the exchange value was also higher, helping him earn 5,000 F-rank energy stones, along with more than 150 million credit points.

150 million points… That's not a small amount of money; it was enough for him to buy a small house in the countryside or help him live comfortably in the city for 5 years.

However, he needs to use this money to do a few things before enjoying life.

"Wow! Not only did you not die, you also brought back more resources than Jankos." Lylia was surprised when she saw the amount of energy stones that Noan exchanged.

"This… This is an E-rank energy stone, and the quality is very high. Where did you find it?" Lylia opened her mouth wide: "It's like the place you were teleported to is an energy stone mine?"

"Hm?!" Hearing this, Noan also felt confused: "I heard you say you guys surrounded a group of zombies, are you guys poorer than me?"

"Zombies?" Lylia frowned and tilted her head, saying, "Are you stupid? No matter how strong we are, we are still just beginners."

"That group of zombies was all normal zombies; in the end, they only harvested less than 150 F-rank energy stones."

"But if 150 stones are divided equally among 13 lords, how many resources do you think each of us will have?"

Noan was also surprised, he quickly asked: "Really? There are no Lickers or Hunters in that zombie herd?"

"Licker? Hunter?" Lylia frowned, her eyes looking at Noan as if she was looking at an idiot: "Are you… stupid?"

"Heh?!" Noan didn't understand her question: "What do you mean?"

"You… What exactly did you encounter at the 'Singularity'? I repeat, everyone and I are just beginners." Lylia sighed and said, "If Lickers appear, just a group of 3 Lickers would be enough to wipe out almost 50% of the new lords."

"What about a Hunter? Are you kidding? One Hunter is enough to destroy all the newbie lords."

"We are just beginners anyway, those zombies are used by the Empire to train everyone's fighting ability."

Noan was startled when he heard that, feeling as if he was the strange one.

That's right, if he didn't have Urlgan, the mutated High Orc, and Vylyss, he wouldn't have been able to kill the Lickers so easily.

Although zombies are monsters for beginners, if you are not careful and get injured by a zombie, even high-level monsters can easily be infected and turn into zombies.

Meaning… When facing zombies, even if you are much stronger than them, just one wound, no matter how small, is enough to turn you into a zombie.

"Oy!" Lylia spoke up, interrupting his thoughts: "What exactly happened to you at the 'Singularity'? Did you meet Lickers and Hunters?"

"Ah! No." Noan laughed and said, "I just thought you would encounter high-level zombies."

"I'm just an F-rank lord anyway, if I meet a Licker or Hunter, do you think I can return?"

"Hm… you're right." Lylia was a little doubtful, but what Noan said was extremely reasonable, she couldn't find anything unusual.

Lickers and Hunters are too strong anyway. You have to know that even if there was only a group of more than 200 zombies, it would take 13 novice lords working together to destroy all of them.

Many lords lost all their soldiers, and needed a long time to recruit and replenish soldiers.

"Wait! You guys can buy soldier summoning cards, right?" Noan asked in confusion, "Why don't you guys buy high-rank soldier cards?"

"You really don't know?" Lylia frowned and said: "The Empire allows lords to buy soldier summoning cards, but for new lords like us, we can only buy E-rank soldier summoning cards, or at most (E+)."

Noan heard that and nodded slightly, thinking to himself: 'It seems... my 'Almighty Fusion' talent gave me the wrong view of a rookie lord.'

However, Noan was not arrogant or indifferent because of that. After all, he was only an F-rank lord, so he needed to try harder.

In the 'Singularity', he also faced countless dangers that were even more terrible than in the safe zone for beginners.

"Alright, let's go eat, I'm so hungry I'm about to faint." Lylia pouted: "Besides, you just got 150 million credit points; you have to eat at an extremely luxurious, super-luxurious restaurant, understand?"

Noan : (￣ ￣ |||)

"I feel like you are a 'miner'."

Lylia: ((╬◣﹏◢))

SLAP!

…

Noan hugged the arm that was just slapped by Lylia, his face a bit tired: "You look so weak, but why are you so strong?"

Lylia pouted and said: "Huh! I am an A-rank lord after all; do you really think I am weak? Even if we fought, I alone could beat ten of you."

Noan : "..."

He felt he should stay away from this girl, as behind that angelic appearance was a violent demon.

"Oy! I can tell what you're thinking." Lylia said threateningly.

"Okay, I lose!"

"Huh! I'll spare you this time." Lylia said as she waved her fist in front of him as if threatening him.

Suddenly, she stopped and pointed forward: "Ah! We will have dinner there."

Noan raised his head and saw a magnificent and luxurious palace, illuminated everywhere by neon lights.

Even though it was daytime, the palace was still extremely bright, causing him to gape in awe.

Although he had dined at fancy restaurants when he was still alive on Earth, this was the first time he had seen one this luxurious.

What the hell is this? Is this the royal palace?

"Let's go!" Lylia urged.

"Wait!" Noan asked in confusion: "You… you guarantee that it is a restaurant and not a royal palace?"

"Of course, I often eat here too, don't worry."

Noan : "..."

"Hey! How rich are you anyway?" Noan looked at Lylia and asked with a frown.

"Hehehe… that's a secret." Lylia laughed and said: "How is it? You feel like you're not worthy of me, right?"

"No! Usually the children of the rich are a bit stupid, I feel like you are not worthy of me."

"Gru gru gru!" ((╬◣﹏◢))

Lylia growled, but the sound was very cute: "You want to be beaten again, don't you?"

"Alright, how many credits does it cost to eat here? I don't want to spend that much on just one meal." Noan shrugged.

"Ah! You are so stingy." Lylia pouted: "Do you know that there are countless men who, in order to have a meal with me, are willing to spend 100 million just for one meal?"

"That high? I think 10,000 is enough." Noan said with a smile.

"Bleh! Bleh!" Lylia stuck out her tongue: "I curse you to never have anyone love you, to be single for the rest of your life."

"If so, I will become a single ghost and haunt you, so that you will also be single for the rest of your life." Noan said disdainfully.

Lylia pouted, her face flushed with anger, but her heart felt sweet.

"Ah! Lylia, what a coincidence." Suddenly, Jankos suddenly appeared and walked towards them: "You are also dining here?"
