9 THRONES

CHAPTER 73: THE NEW HOUSE

When Vann got to his house he took some items like low-level cultivation crystals that Lifure had stored, however he was already an elite disciple which meant Vann did not stay here anymore.

Lifure is now still busy in the store, it is daytime while Lifure closes its store every night. Therefore, Vann had to clean all the items in his room by himself.

When Vann had just finished cleaning, a knock on the door sounded.

Vann opens the door to find a red-clothed man who shows that he is also an elite disciple of the Wood Sword Academy.

The man looked towards Vann "Are you the new kid who managed to become the elite disciple, the water dragon? Then come with me, I'll take you to your new home and explain the rules as an elite disciple".

Vann nodded and immediately followed the man, the items he needed to carry were not at all much which made Vann able to chase after him without any problems.

The man walked towards the elite disciple settlement located above while explaining "My name is Laken, I became an elite disciple since 4 years ago. As you know, elite students don't have to go to class anymore. But that doesn't mean you can't study, there's a special library of elite students in our neighborhood. You can study there every day as long as you have enough points, other than that points are used every hour".

"I forgot to tell you something most basic, in the elite disciple settlement, you are not using money at all but something called points. When an elite disciple completes their task, the disciple will earn points whose number depends on the difficulty of the task. The points will be stored on your token, so do not let you lose them or you have to pay a high price to create a new token".

"The way to pay using points is that you just need to show your tokens to the seller, they definitely understand how to reduce the number of tokens you have. Then points should only be used in the academy, when you are elsewhere then points do not apply. Even so, for elite disciples, points were extremely valuable. Every time you plan on learning techniques, obtaining artifacts and others from the academy, everything should be paid with points".

"In the beginning, you should have gotten 10 points from the academy so use it as wisely as possible. Do you understand the point issue?".

Vann nodded "I understand, but can points be exchanged into cultivation crystals and vice versa?".

"Can, 1 point is equivalent to 1 low-level cultivation crystal" Laken said explaining "After that, you should be careful when running errands. Most of the elite disciples who died, they must have been killed while doing the task. Unlike the time in the academy, when doing assignments, there is no one to protect you. You might be killed by either humans or monsters! Based on the available information, every month there are always elite disciples who do not return, you have to be careful".

"We also have to be careful of humans?" said Vann in surprise "Don't tell me when fighting monsters, there are still humans trying to kill their own comrades to help monsters".

Laken nodded "That's right, don't think everyone should help each other just because they're both human. In the end, there were countless humans siding with monsters, as well as some monsters siding with humans. Not only that, some of the people you thought were partners might kill you for trying to get treasure. After all no one knew the truth from killing another disciple on the pillar, even if the academy side was suspicious, they could not do anything without proof".

"Thank you Senior Laken for his advice", said Vann thoroughly thanking him, now that he was ready to become even more cautious when running errands from the academy.

"No need to worry, this is what I have to do" said Laken who was currently stopped in front of a house on the elite disciple settlement "From now on, said Laken, this is the house that the academy has given you. In every house in the elite disciple settlement, there were low grade level 1 cauldron artifacts, so you wouldn't have to bother going to class if you were planning to make medicine. I don't think I need to explain too much because you'll find out for yourself after seeing your house, I'll leave now".

Vann continued to stare at the friendly Laken until he went far away, Laken gave Vann a lot of useful information that made Vann very grateful to him.

When Laken left, Vann opened the fence and walked towards his new residence.

Different from the houses belonging to normal disciples before, the homes of elite disciples were much better.

Each house has their own yard, although it is not large but there is no problem for someone to plant plants in their yard.

Not stopping there, Vann observed his house to find there were 2 bedrooms, 1 workspace, living room, kitchen and bathroom. In addition to the bathroom in the living room, each room also has a bathroom that shows how much the difference in the home of elite students than normal students.

Vann observed around before putting his belongings in the living room, he continued to observe around his house until Lifure appeared at night.

When Vann opened the fence, he found Lifure looking tired and sweating a lot, "Master, why didn't you tell me that you had moved? I at first thought you were disappearing, fortunately the master's friend beside the house told me that the master had been living in an elite settlement. Otherwise, I might not be able to find master all day!".

Vann felt a little guilty seeing the tired Lifure, however he completely forgot Lifure before.

Before Lifure got angry again, Vann immediately asked to distract her "How's the store doing? Is everything going well?".

Lifure who was unaware of Vann was distracting instantly forgot the previous problem of "Right, the store went well without any problems, we gained the advantage of 50 low-level cultivation crystals today, he said, it will definitely increase a lot in the future. There are a lot of customers coming to the store".

Vann walked with Lifure who continued to tell stories back to their new home, Lifure was not aware of Vann who managed to deceive him but he continued to tell about his experience with a big smile.

Vann also did not stop Lifure, he was curious about the problem of the progress of their newly opened store.

But based on the Lifure story, it seems that their store managed to run without the slightest problem.

With the store running smoothly, Vann can now cultivate without any problems and leave it to Lifure to manage the store.
