Chapter 160: Starting the Business (1/2)

Don't be in such a hurry,” Kadyn replied when he spotted an eager look on Cecelia's face, then continued. ”To remove your rune you need five-hundred energy points.”

”...”

Hot Rod, Barret and Cecelia looked at one another in dismay. They thought that Kadyn would help them just this time, but his reply told them otherwise.

”I told you,” he said, ”there is no free lunch in this world, you have to earn the things you desire. Furthermore,” he peered at the trio and went on, ”don't be in such a hurry to remove your runes. You need to remember after you become an elementary mage, it would be a lot harder to earn energy points. So make sure you have lots of them before doing it.”

”Uh,” at this moment Nefia asked. ”I want to ask about the Hall of Intelligence — what do we need to work on, information gathering?”

”Well, you can say that,” Kadyn nodded, ”But you will also receive other missions as well. Alright, let's go. It's time to open the shop.”

A new building had appeared beside the tall and majestic tower. It was a restaurant that Kadyn was talking about, and while he was talking about it with others, he gave a command to the system to build it.

”But we don't have ingredients to cook,” Rayna said. ”We need a lot of meat, spices, vegetables, and many other things.”

Kadyn turned towards Khrom and Slyff and said. ”You two would go and help in shopping Sister Rayna.”

Khrom was stunned for a moment, he wanted to speak something but then he shook his head as if remembering something and remained silent. ”It's settled then,” Kadyn said.

”Will we receive energy points for this as well?” Slyff asked as he rubbed his hands eagerly.

”Oh, you need energy points for it?” Kadyn curled his lips. ”Well, it's fine by me, but you need to pay for what you ate until now cooked by sister Rayna as well.”

”Alright, alright,” Slyff's mouth twitched. ”I will do it.”

”That's good,” Kadyn said. ”Furthermore, to gather the information you have to go out anyway, so you can do that as well. Every piece of information would be priced by the system, similar to the artefacts and potions.”

”Excuse me,” at this moment a voice came from behind them. Kadyn turned towards the newcomer and found a beautiful girl standing there. ”Hey, the manager has sent me to deliver the money.”

”Oh, thanks, Hayla,” Kadyn nodded.
