Last Totem Novel - Chapter 120

Chapter 120 Cold And Hot
Half an hour later, Tie Zha drove the motorcycle and drove Qin Ke’er to Central Street. From the moment they entered the city until now, they had walked about nine kilometers. Iron Slag couldn’t help but sigh. A single functional area of Silver City No.1 was the size of Tieshan Town.

Qin Ke’er led the iron slag forward and arrived in front of a cafe. The cafe was very small, and there were four tables in the corridor in front of the door. Looking through the stained glass window, there were five or six more inside.

The sign in the cafe said, “Coffee shop at the corner of the alley

It was now three o’clock in the afternoon. The bright sunlight penetrated through the red striped sunshade cloth and sprinkled on the corridor. There was a small flower basket and a glass oil lamp on the table. Everything looked relaxed and comfortable.

After parking the car, Qin Ke’er took Tie Zha and sat down at the table. Soon, the waiter in the checkered clothes brought up the water and menu.

Tie Zhan opened the menu and looked at the price on it. His eyes immediately widened.

Black coffee 6 copper, cappuccino 1 silver 5 copper, Blue Mountain coffee 1 silver 8 copper, fresh fruit plate 2 silver, French fries 3 copper, garlic toast 5 copper, broccoli steak 6 silver, oak roasted Northern Black Goat leg 1 gold 2 silver, Overlord crab 1 gold 8 silver, Red Sea tuna 3 gold 3 silver, 12 years China Manor red wine 3 silver 2 copper, 15 years sea demon red wine

“Hello, sir. May I help you?” The waiter bent down and asked. Tie Zha threw away his menu and ordered a cup of black coffee.

Qin Ke’er originally wanted to order something expensive, but she was angry at this tugging country bumpkin. However, when she thought about how the other party was a garbage collector, her heart softened and she only ordered garlic toast. This time, it was Tie Zha’s turn to be a little embarrassed. After all, he had been busy for a long time and hadn’t eaten yet. So he ordered her a sirloin steak, a plate of fresh fruit and a cappuccino on his own.

“You! Do you have a lot of money?” After the waiter left, Qin Ke’er was unhappy and asked with her cheeks puffed up.

Iron slag couldn’t help but touch his forehead. He really didn’t understand this woman.

“You came from the Northern Wilderness. You must know your own limits. Don’t be so arrogant. I don’t care about this!” Qin Ke’er lectured righteously.

Iron slag looked elsewhere and rolled his eyes, pretending not to hear.

“You want to study for a year. You have to spend money for everything here. You need money for food, accommodation, and money. How much money do you have? Can you withstand this kind of torment?” The more Qin Ke’er spoke, the more energetic she became. She seemed to be unable to stop, and the iron slag could only continue to pretend not to hear her.

“Do you want to hit on me? Don’t think too much. That’s impossible. I won’t have a good impression of you for a meal.” Qin Ke’er said.

Tie Zha turned his head and cupped his fists and said to her, “Thank you for your reminder. I have enough money to spend. There’s no need for you to worry. Furthermore, I didn’t think …”

“How much money did you bring?” Qin Ke’er interrupted him and asked.

“50 gold.” Tie Zha replied. In his opinion, 50 gold was considered a small savings in Tieshan Town, and it wouldn’t be a problem for him to eat, drink, and play for a year and a half.

“50 gold! Heavens …” “What’s wrong?” “You only have 50 gold on you, yet you still dare to waste money!” “Isn’t that enough?”

“It’s my bad luck. I’ll pay for this meal myself. You just have to pay for that cup of coffee.” Qin Ke’er said disdainfully.

Tie Zha raised his glasses and asked her about the living expenses of the academy. Qin Ke’er asked the waiter to send her a pen and paper, but she calculated carefully.

Accommodation costs 12 gold a semester, electricity and water costs around 1 gold, a total of 26 gold a year. In terms of food and drink, 2 copper for breakfast, 5 copper for lunch, 6 copper for dinner, 1 silver and 3 copper for a day, 3 gold and 9 silver for a month, and 48 gold for a year.

A total of 76 gold, the average daily cost is 2 silver.

“In that case, it doesn’t seem to be enough.” Iron slag said.

“Only then did you know.” Qin Ke’er crossed her arms and said. Tie Zha asked if there was any way to make money here. Qin Ke’er shook her head and said that it was very rare. The income from washing dishes in the restaurant was 2 copper per hour. After washing the dishes for a whole day, it was just enough for the food and accommodation expenses for the day.

“There’s no need to wash the dishes. I’m strong enough to carry things.” Said Tie Zha.

“We all use engineering mecha to transport things here. There’s no need to work hard.” Qin Ke’er said with disdain.

Tie Zha asked if there was anything else he could do.

“Yes, yes” Qin Ke’er deliberately lengthened her voice. Looking at Tie Zha’s expectant expression, her expression suddenly froze. She changed the topic and asked, “But why should I tell you?”

“This …” “Let me tell you, what’s the benefit?”

Tie Zha touched her forehead again and asked her what she wanted. Qin Ke’er revealed a playful smile, saying that she would slip her lips when she was happy. Tie Zha asked her what would make her happy.

“Seeing that you’re unhappy, I’m especially happy.” Before she could say anything, Qin Ke’er pursed her lips and smiled. For a moment, his eyes rippled slightly, and his charm was overflowing.

“Friend, as for?” Iron Slag asked seriously.

‘”I don’t know” Qin Ke’er smiled even happier when she saw the serious look on Tie Zha’s face.

“How about this, I’ll treat you to a drink.” After saying that, Tie Zha got up and walked to the side of the motorcycle. After groping in the canvas bag for a while, he took out a small bottle filled with red liquid. Returning to the table, the iron slag asked the waiter to bring over a small cup, then poured a cup and pushed it over.

Qin Ke’er hesitantly looked at the sticky bright red liquid in the cup. Thinking of Tie Zha’s identity as a scavenger, she shrunk her mouth and said that she would not drink this unknown thing.

“Something good came. You’ll know with a sip.” Said Tie Zha. He didn’t dare to call it ice crystal fruit wine, because only the snowy night ice plains and endless forest seas had ice crystal berries in the world, so it was very likely that he had exposed his glorious bloodline identity.

“No.” “Really not bad, I won’t lie to you.” “No.” “Alright” With that said, Tie Zha had no choice but to give up. Just as she was about to reach out to retrieve the small cup, Qin Ke’er suddenly stopped him. She asked him with some fear and anticipation, “Is it really delicious?”

“Delicious.” Iron Slag replied sincerely.

“Swear.” Qin Ke’er said softly.

Tie Zha’s entire body immediately turned bad. He had to swear an oath on such a trivial matter. This oath was too trivial. Immediately, he frowned and said in a deep voice, “Do you like to drink or not drink? If you don’t drink, pull it down.”

“How stingy!” Looking at Tie Zha’s serious appearance, Qin Ke’er picked up the small cup with a disdainful expression and took a sip. In an instant, the liquid at the entrance turned into ice crystals, both like ice dregs and like fruit juice. An indescribable feeling surged into her heart, and she almost froze. The taste was ice-cold and refreshing, like sweet but not greasy ice cream, ice but not cold water. Gradually, the ice turned into infinite warmth. It was as if one was in constant temperature water, and one felt as if one’s body was about to lose weight and soak in incomparably comfortable water.

The smell was as thick as lava, and as gentle as warm water. It contained nothing, and it was clear to the heart …

After a while, Qin Ke’er came back to her senses when the waiter brought the staple food and coffee. However, the first thing she said made Tie Zha want to snatch the wine back.

“Is this the ultimate hallucinogen?” “Don’t drink if you don’t want to!” “But it really feels like it.”

Tie Zha couldn’t help but frown and ask if she had tried. The drug dependence of hallucinogens was extremely strong. The women in the alleys of Tieshan Town often used them, so they could hardly survive without them.

Qin Ke’er hurriedly shook her head and said that she had never tried it before. She had only heard the teacher describe it during her pharmacology class. Tie Zha said it’s best not to try, it’s hard to quit. He was once injured and used a hallucinogen to relieve pain in the absence of medication, but soon became addicted to it and took a long time to recover.

“I’m a good girl. I never touch these things.” Qin Ke’er said unhappily. She felt that this country bumpkin was going too far, and she actually suspected that she had used hallucinogens!

From this moment on, the atmosphere became dull. In the following time, neither of them spoke again. Qin Ke’er finished her meal quietly and waited for Tie Zha to settle the bill before leaving the cafe to report to the academy. The two silently walked along Central Street for a while before arriving at a large gate to the east.

This was the main gate of the Central Silver City Military Academy. It was made up of twelve giant stone pillars, also known as the Gate of the Round Table Warriors. There were two checkpoints in front of the door.

Qin Ke’er reminded them that they couldn’t carry weapons in the school. They had to be stored at the checkpoint before they could collect them when they went out. Tie Zha frowned and felt very uncomfortable. Since he was sensible, he had been stuck with his saber and spear. Now that he had to unload his armor, he really wasn’t used to it.

The iron slag asked if there was any other way. Qin Ke’er said that out of the 100,000 people in the academy, only three could carry weapons, so ordinary people would forget about it. When Tie Zha asked who could bring him along, Qin Ke’er said impatiently, “President, Vice President, Secretary-General of the Student Union.”

Tie Zha thought about it and hid the Sharp Sparkle in the sword groove on the side of the red comet. Qin Ke’er hugged her chest and said that Tie Zha could not do this. Tie Zha told her to ignore it, it had nothing to do with her.

Qin Ke’er was so angry that she stomped her foot and left first. Iron slag ignored her and slowly pushed the cart into the checkpoint. A staff member dressed in white clothes with a silver badge hanging on his chest checked the documents of the iron slag. Then, he took out a large iron chest and asked the iron slag to put the weapons under unified management here.

The iron slag took out all the weapons and ammunition. The staff wore white gloves and carefully inspected them. Then, they wrapped them in oil paper and put them into the iron box in different categories.

Meanwhile, the staff member picked up Merrill Lynch’s revolver with interest and said, “The custom version of the Smith M500 is a rare item. I heard it’s much more powerful than the Sandhawk.”

“Unfortunately, there are no bullets left.” Tie Zha sighed.

Only then did the staff notice that there were no explosive ordnance suitable for the m500 in the ammunition pile. He opened the magazine and looked at it for a while. He said that the academy’s gun center could customize the bullets, and that 30 credits should be enough to customize around 200 rounds.

Iron slag asked 30 credits what concept, the staff replied, 1 credit equivalent to about 10 gold coins, but there is no market, no one is willing to sell. Asked why, the staff said that many of the resources and equipment provided by the academy were not available from outside. For example, the Templar Knights’ Holy Light Power Armor could be exchanged for credits.

After the staff finished packing, the iron slag signed and paid the management fee of 1 gold coin, they pushed the motorcycle through the checkpoint.

After entering the academy, Qin Ke’er waited outside, and when she saw the iron slag coming out, she began to complain about his slow clearance. Tie Zha was a little tired of Qin Ke’er’s sudden heat and cold. She said indifferently, “I’ll take care of the rest myself. You can go back first.”

“You said it yourself.” Qin Ke’er said with a strong tone.

“Go.” Tie Zha casually waved his hand and pushed the motorcycle to the other side.
