Melina's first dinner at her sojourn was a special takeaway for idols. It was said that it was specially provided by Belen's idol management company. Their company was amazing. They not only provided idol theaters, opera theaters, dance theaters, etc., but also Provides a large number of home-cooked dishes for takeout and delivery.
The fresh coffee costing 15 copper lei has a mellow taste and endless aftertaste. It does not have any dry taste when you drink it, and it is slightly bitter and mellow.
The vanilla ice cream, which costs 35 copper lei, was slightly melted when it was delivered, and the milky aroma is 100% memorable.
The pan-fried mashed potatoes with minced garlic cheese sauce cost 30 copper lei. The sour and rich cheese sauce is paired with the mashed potatoes with a hint of sesame oil, which is very appetizing.
The cream-baked prawns with cheese rice for 65 RON are generous and hot and delicious.
Finally, we finish the meal with mushroom stewed scallop soup for 55 copper lei.
A generous and delicious meal cost a total of 200 copper lei, equivalent to 2 gold lei.
This portion and this price, let’s not talk about the quality, the cost-effectiveness alone has already surpassed Sonia’s usual takeout.
This is called knowing how to spend money, rather than just being expensive.
Melina was very happy with her meal. She ate the second vanilla ice cream after the meal and said with satisfaction:
"This meal is only 2 gold lei?"
"Talent?" Belen also ate ice cream and said happily, "This is not cheap. A meal cost of about 5 lei a day is considered a decent middle class."
In fact, middle-class people rarely eat 5 leu a day. For most middle-class people, it is considered cruel to eat 2 leu a day, because they usually have a cook at home, and the cook is the biggest savings. Sonia used to contribute to the local economy every day, but now she only contributes to the economy occasionally because the cook, Mr. Mo, is not available all the time.
Melina felt the coldness in her mouth melting, and her eyes half-closed:
"Yes, yes, Professor Belen, who earns 400 lei a week, is too respectable."
"Hmph." Beren's hum was a habitual hum, which did not mean that she was in a bad mood.
Melina figured this out after spending a few hours together.
"How's your paper going?"
"Already sent."
Super Xiaomei, super speed!
Beren opened his mouth in shock and asked in surprise: "So fast? Is the quality guaranteed?"
Melina smiled and replied in a tone of extremely low emotional intelligence:
"This is how I wrote the paper that pushed you down on the theory of four elements."
“…”
Beren muttered in a low voice: "That's why I can't like you."
Humph, who wants to like you? An old aunt who is seven years older than me. ...Melina happily put down the tableware, "I have to go out, please don't touch my machine. If you want to use the slot, please discuss it with your students outside. Just leave one machine slot for me."
"The chief student of the grade."
Beren replied and agreed, then pointed outside and asked casually:
"If we let us use all four plots, what will you use for yourself?"
"You ask this question, are you caring about me?"
"No." Beren played with his fiery red hair, and his green eyes were a little disgusted. "I just made a hypothesis. Assuming that you are a rising banshee, the best configuration is actually 3+1. +1, 311, three energy outputs and one resource output, through the economy provided by energy and resources to support the first element factor production facility."
"If you are talented, you can do 4+1+1. Energy is the most important thing. Without energy, no matter how good the machine is, it will not work."
"Elemental factors can be refined into occult factors, which are hard currency in the market. Most banshees rely on selling these hard currencies to obtain the first qualification to enter the circle and acquire the circle. While upgrading the equipment level, Improve your level of magic research."
"Assuming that there are Banshee Explorers in the rising stage, this is how they should improve themselves. Dragon hunting is only a necessary way to improve efficiency. Arms, land buildings, land machines, and elemental magic factors are among the four items. The most important thing about Banshee is item 2. When you can produce a factor of 1,000 gold lei per day, your connections and circles will be enough for you to climb to a higher level."
Yes, although this world looks very wild and there are not many human settlements, like some kind of post-apocalyptic environment, it is not actually like this. From the perspective of a large map, human settlements are actually divided into a ring. Although a large part of the middle is covered by sea water, there are indeed land and sea ridges that form blocks. Using various enhanced foot powers, 10 It is not difficult for ordinary humans to travel around the 'human world' in a day.
A stable social structure determines the role of money within this structure.
A new-generation banshee like Sonia, who is not involved in any circles, can still spend a large amount of money to get the Explorers Guild to open a branch here.
Melina waved her hand and responded:
"Don't worry, I will just buy two more plots later. To be honest, this little energy supply is nothing to me. I don't feel anything at all."
"Head of the grade, pride is a deadly weapon, and excessive pride is an invisible poison, so don't ask for whom the bell tolls."
"Professor. Talent is like a page in the book "I". Pride does not destroy the book, but is another page in the book. Only with its words as a foreshadowing can the value of talent be revealed."
"..." Belen gently pressed his temple with his left hand and muttered:
"That's why I don't like you."
"No matter how good the gems are, some people don't like them. Professor, I will probably come back later. I may be a little hungry, and I may..."
"Stop! I've already ordered takeout once today!"
"Tsk."
Is this the vigilance of current idols? ...Melina pouted unhappily and said reluctantly, "Then I'll pay the bill myself. I want the thick chocolate cheesecake I saw but didn't order today, and I also want a black cheesecake that looks particularly delicious and juicy. Pepper and dragon meat pasta, um, I’d like another cup of refreshing mint lemon, and I’ll give you the money when you get back.”
Beren nodded:
"Okay, I also want the black pepper dragon meat pasta, and the cake doesn't want chocolate cheese. I want to try the matcha rolls, and drink milk tea at night...it might make me fat, but it doesn't matter..."
"Did I say I wanted to invite you?"
Belen's eyes widened, as if he didn't know that he was actually an old aunt who was 7 years older than Melina. "I'm so cute, why don't you invite me?" ' expression.
“…”
“…”
The two banshees looked at each other for half a minute. Melina tilted her head and puffed her face, "Forget it, one size is the same. I'll treat you as I please. Remember to write a small invoice, otherwise I won't pay."
"Hmm..." Beren paused and changed his voice, "...Hmph! Remember to form a joint exploration team tomorrow. I saw an Ankylosaurus with a skull, which is very suitable for my students to practice."
…
At night, the prototype of a large manor house stands on the Sonia plot.
It covers a large area.
The other banshees put their mansions on the plots of land, but Sonia put the plots on their mansions. No wonder she asked for such a big piece of land but only had one plot. It only took about one day from the time I decided to build it to the moment I have completed a small part of the main room. Judging from this level, this luxurious mansion, which is the size of the main street of Banshee Street, only needs 25 days to repair.
Melina stepped over the foundations of the doorway rose maze being built and greeted a few banshees at work.
The Banshee construction team is quite interesting. They will carry out construction in batches without interruption. To put it simply, the construction area is subdivided in detail. Each Banshee is responsible for the construction of different places, which is equivalent to everyone You have your own indicators, as long as you do them well before the time is up. Anyway, they can use a packer to divide and package them, and then a high-level banshee can assemble them after completion.
This is why Banshees have unique advantages in civil engineering.
Translated to civil workers, that means they can build each layer on the ground, repair it, modify the load-bearing walls, and put it on layer by layer, and they can modify it at any time. It's a dream come true.
Walking into the half-built living room, Melina saw an extra-large, gorgeous bed with curtains that could sleep ten people side by side.
Sonia was sitting on it, using the bed as a desk.
Maria sat on a small sofa next to the bed.
She really knows how to enjoy... Melina has good eyesight and can easily distinguish the brands of these facilities. They are all quite luxurious items. At the same time, Sonia's money offensive finally won over a coterie of banshees, who sold her a floor lamp with magical properties. Placing this floor lamp in the room can compress the 7 hours of magic factor recovery time to 5 hours. In actual experience, only 6 hours of sleep a day is enough.
Although the decoration of the room has not yet been completed, the luxurious vampire-like baroque interior decoration has begun to take shape.
Under the light, the fair-skinned senior looked a bit like a vampire against the backdrop of black hair.
"Xiao Mei, Lao Ma, how was your first or second contact with the target?" Sonia was wearing a simple black dress with purple decoration. Only the fabric showed that this nightgown was valuable.
Maria glanced here, then lowered her head to read the newspaper: "No. 1 is okay, not mentally retarded, and can be saved. No. 2 has not been contacted, and the blue hair reminds me of Miss Carter, which makes me feel uncomfortable in my stomach..." (Carter Lina asked Maria to take a test drive in the car, and the cat driving the car claimed to have exercised on the Nine Hairpin Turns)
Simple and crude review! ...Melina noticed that both of them were looking at her and commented:
"No. 1 now has a bad feeling towards target No. 3, and she also has a bad feeling towards target No. 2. So I suspect that she has not recovered from her crush on her crush."
As she spoke, she opened the Coke that Sonia had collected.
Real Coke is the 'Cola Mountain Spring Water' created by a time traveler through an improved formula. It is expensive because it is essentially a healthy drink that replenishes vitality. It just uses Coke's magic factor instead of water factor, so it has the taste of Coke.
"very good."
Sonia said without raising her head, "They live in your area now. Besides them, how about the other two?"
"On the surface, they are as close as sisters, but secretly they are enemies of life and death. In life, they are in harmony, but secretly they share the same bed with each other."
"..." Sonia put down what she was doing.
She couldn't help but look at Maria, both of them a little bit unexpected that this would be the result.
Sonia paused for a moment, thinking about what to say, and touched her chin:
"Then...they are really matched against each other."
