A gold coin could be exchanged for 600 yuan in cash, weighing almost nothing. The combined weight of the gold and coins was roughly double his own.
Fortunately, it was the disguised monster, Moon Child, carrying it, making transportation relatively hassle-free.
"There are various explanations above. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me," Lyle said with a smile as he pointed to several documents in his hand. Then he casually glanced at the numbers on them and paused for a moment. "Xiar, I didn't expect you to be so wealthy."
"Not much, because I'm a noble..." Before he could finish, the other party's next words cut him off, leaving the rest stuck in his throat.
"...almost enough to cover my expenses for this month."
Silence fell over Xiar.
Fortunately, his expression didn't change much. Lyle continued with concern, "This money barely covers your living expenses and allows you to buy some cheap materials for Main Totem Evolution. But don't lose heart; there are many places in Student where you can find work, like various totem workshops..."
"Yeah, thanks, Lyle Senior." Xiar forced a smile, feeling a pang in his heart.
On this trip, he had taken more than half of his family's liquid assets, thinking it would be enough to handle the initial expenses.
But now, it seemed he couldn't even match someone else's monthly spending. Most importantly, Lyle had spent most of this month drifting at sea, with few places to spend money.
Well, it looked like he needed to earn some money first!
"Alright, it's getting late now. I'll take you to the accommodation provided by Senior Leslie. Tomorrow morning, I'll take you to report," Lyle said, pointing at the setting sun with a smile.
"Don't worry, the academy provides basic living supplies, so you won't need to spend any money."
"Thank you, Lyle Senior," Xiar replied, his lips twitching as he realized that in the other person's eyes, he was just a child from a poor family. Didn't they see that all these words were meant to consider him?
Damn it, as the heir of the Mestlin Family, when had he ever suffered such humiliation!
Xiar wanted to pull out the three remaining gems he had, but clearly, showing them wouldn't change the fact that he was "poor." Because even a casual Evolution would require several gems...
"You are lucky; Senior Leslie is quite a figure at the academy. He ranked third in this year's academy competition and enjoys the envy and admiration of hundreds of thousands of students. He rarely appears at the academy, so it's really enviable that you were able to save him when he was seriously injured."
Xiar clearly saw the blush creeping up on the girl's ears, her beautiful amber eyes sparkling with excitement. She was evidently one of his admirers and even seemed to have developed a slight crush.
"Hehe, Lyle, you should take the chance to talk to him," Erin teased mischievously.
The girl hesitated for a moment before quickly waving her hand. "No need; someone as busy as him doesn't have time..."
Her footsteps quickened significantly. Xiar exchanged glances with Erin, both wearing broad smiles.
After reaching their destination, Lyle left directly.
On the way back, the three of them had a simple dinner. To their surprise, it only cost Xiar a few dozen coins.
According to Lyle's introduction, the student meals provided by the academy included basic ordinary sets that even those in poverty could enjoy and fill their stomachs.
Of course, there were also luxurious dishes comparable to those enjoyed by top nobles like Harrison, made from the most precious ingredients and carefully cultivated foods—priced so high that Xiar's money wouldn't cover many meals!
Leslie provided him with housing in the highly privileged Dormitory Area One, which was one of the two houses awarded to him by the academy.
The buildings were nestled within a garden, surrounded by blooming flowers and lush trees, rivaling the most luxurious villa districts of his past life.
"Hello, Senior Leslie asked me to wait for you here." A young man with freckles hurried over and handed him a key.
Xiar accepted the key under the surprised gaze of the other person. "Thank you."
"You're welcome. I didn't expect you to have a senior who would give you a house." The visitor smiled and quickly left.
There was a hint of disdain in his words, clearly viewing Xiar as someone who relied on connections to gain favor. Xiar paid it no mind.
In any place, to enjoy adequate treatment and respect, one must demonstrate corresponding strength.
At present, he appeared to be merely the weakest First-Level Spirit Master, so it was natural that others would not show him much respect.
By the way, what Leslie had given him was not just a house but an independent two-story villa!
"I'm really envious; a villa here costs over a hundred million. Moreover, one must achieve outstanding accomplishments to earn such rewards from the academy. I wonder when I will be able to move in." Lyle's face was filled with envy as he chatted with them for a while before leaving.
The entire academy was located on an island, where ordinary people were not allowed entry, essentially functioning as an independent kingdom.
Numerous defensive facilities surrounded the island; nothing could penetrate its waters. Even approaching it was nearly impossible.
Everything was isolated from the outside world, possessing autonomous administrative power and formidable armed forces.
In the future, countless Ocean Radiation Monsters attempted to breach this island. However, no matter how fierce they were or how exaggerated their numbers, they could not succeed.
By the end of the war, the surrounding waters had turned completely red, with countless corpses floating on the surface, filling the air with a foul stench.
Xiar stood on the windowsill, watching as the streetlights outside flickered to life one by one.
These streetlights resembled trumpet flowers; they were plant-like creatures that emitted a soft orange-yellow glow.
Along the roadside, there were also some glowing flowers and grasses that illuminated the path.
Puff, puff, puff!
A faint sound of flapping wings filled the air as a massive creature soared overhead, resembling a griffin from ancient mythology, carrying two people on its back.
This was one of the modes of transportation on the island, a flying giant beast specially bred for carrying passengers.
Inside the room, there were also plants that emitted a glow. The bedroom featured a dedicated lamp powered by Source Crystals, which could be turned off at any time.
As Xiar walked through the city, she realized that the management of this place seemed more aligned with the Daoist philosophy of the Flowering Family from her past life, pursuing harmony between humans and nature.
Here, there was no sign of pollution or disorder; the entire island resembled a vast garden where people lived in such a beautiful environment.
Standing in front of the window, Xiar gazed through the glass at the twinkling stars above. "This is Morent. No wonder so many people come here and never want to leave. Unfortunately, my time is running out..."
