Chapter 43 - Earning Credits

With us exiting the dungeon exit teleported, Olivia carried me to the building that had dealt with the dungeon materials. Putting me on a chair inside the building, both Olivia and Serena went to the receptionist.

"Good afternoon. How may I help you?" The new receptionist was different from the one we went to earlier. I wouldn't be surprised if they shifted. I was close enough to hear them talk as Olivia put me in the closet seat to them.

"We're here to sell everything we earned from our adventure." Olivia happily said. On the other hand, Serena let Olivia do all the talking as she wasn't in the mood to do so. Then, taking out her magic pouch, she took out everything from the first floor.

The receptionist was surprised by the materials we got. But she was disappointed by the quality of them. "It's a shame that your materials were from the first floor. Otherwise, the price of your material would increase substantially.

"The mana cores of the monster and the crystal ores are worth eight hundred credits, while the floor boss crystal ore and mana cores are worth a thousand. So you would get a total of a thousand and eight hundred with them." She told us the total price of the material that we got.

Serena then put out more items that we got from the second floor. "All of these items you got are worth two hundred credits." Hearing that value was disappointing. However, the materials on the second floor were expected, so the prices were lower.

Putting out what the serpent had dropped, the receptionist was shocked. She hadn't expected a monster of this caliber from some first-year students.

"Where did you find these materials?" The receptionist asked due to her curiosity.

"We fought a secret boss on our second floor. At first, the serpent boss was a rank two monster, but when we cornered it, it evolved and turned into a third-rank boss. If it wasn't for our leader over there, we would've died." Olivia explained it happily, praising me for my achievement. Of course, I got bashful about being praised like that.

"I see!" The receptionist was shocked that I was able to kill it but was happy that we sold the items to them.

"The mana core is worth one thousand credits, the serpent's blood is worth three thousand credits, and the serpent scales are worth eight thousand credits. Adding all three is twelve thousand credits." I, Olivia, and Serena were shocked by the price that we had gotten. We were rich just by doing our first dungeon.

Having everything sold, we earned a total of fourteen thousand credits.

"Do you mind checking out the artifacts that we got?" Serena spoke for the first time since I was awake. I guess she was wondering what the effects of the necklace she got were.

"Please follow me." The receptionist said excitedly, seeing what artifacts we earned during our dungeon raid. Olivia, who carried me and followed them, I take it back when I said I wasn't embarrassed. Maybe I was too comfortable with Olivia and Serena that I didn't care how I was carried. With other people, it was embarrassing to be seen like this.

Going to the second floor of this building, we entered a door. Seeing a gadget that could scan the effects of an artifact was breathtaking. The machine was highly advanced for something like this. There wasn't anything that could be compared to my old world.

"Welcome to the artifact room. Here we will be scanning your artifacts to scan them. Please put them in a container for it to proceed.

Serena put her necklace on the container, and the scanning process began. We could see the machine using mana to oversee everything about the necklace. In ten seconds, the results were out.

With the scanning giving us the stats of the necklace, we could see what it was. The necklace would increase any kind of defense-type magic by twenty percent. For Serena, such an item would increase her chances of survival.

Seeing the results, she was satisfied with the results. With it only being a level floor boss, the effects of the item were already significant.

"If you want, you could sell that artifact for five thousand credits." The receptionist said. Serena, who heard that, glared at her. Seeing that she was glared at, she stopped talking, knowing that Serena would keep it.

Looking uncomfortable, she asked a different question. "Do you have any other artifacts you would like to be identified? Or that would be all?" She sounded so sure that we had another one. Maybe she could tell that the artifact we showed wasn't the one from the secret boss.

Serena handed her a pair of bright blue gem earrings. It was my first time seeing it. Unfortunately, when I woke up, Serena had already looted it, and with her mind going in a different direction, I couldn't see it.

The receptionist's eyes gleamed when she saw it. Then, having put it on the scanner and anticipating the results, I was shocked by the results.

Wearing one of the earrings alone gave fifty percent mana regeneration. Not long after that, it also increased mana projectile speed by twenty percent. I then began to wear both, and the effects were to be doubled. Anyone who saw them would be shocked that our first years would be able to get it.

"You wouldn't mind selling that to us for fifty thousand credits, would you?" The receptionist shamelessly asked.

No one spoke when she said that. "I guess not." She sighed, knowing the chances of them selling were low.

Having nothing to do here, we left. "Do we split our earnings equally? I don't have a problem with that." Without Olivia healing me, I doubt I would beat the boss, and without Serena stalling for time, we would've all died.

"I didn't do much, so I will give you some of my shares." Olivia bashfully said. Serena also joined in, saying that she thought that she didn't do enough making me get sixty percent of the earnings, while both of them got twenty. So with that, I had nine thousand and four hundred credits. She also gave us the earrings letting us do whatever we wanted with them.

"Olivia, could you carry me home? I want to take a rest for now." Olivia was still carrying me, and we left for our house. Serena, on the other hand, had gone to do something else.
