34 Roommate

"Hey!"

Inwardly I sighed, "Here comes drama. Maybe I should have spent the 1.5k coins for a one-day energy instead of cooking the meat or should have made sure the apartment was empty… ah, that would just be stupid. She might be worse after my one day absence."

I bet my sloth life will go to sh*t now.

The girl spoke again. I swear she reminded me of those Jamaican women in the club; annoying, forever asking unnecessary questions.

"Hey, I'm talking to you!"

Looking meek, I lifted my head and stared at the girl who sounded annoying as hell.

Ah, I really was not ready for this. It had been so long since acting like this.

"Hello?" I whispered in greeting – alright, meek, yes – but not overly so. No need to act like a turtle right now, just somewhat shy.

"Where did you get the food?"

"I bought it." I replied softly.

"Haha, that meat smells like premium goods, you spent so much just for a piece?"

No, I am not that stupid. Wow, this girl looks seriously hungry, but sorry – I don't share food.

I guess the way she is eying me I suppose that because my plate was empty and it was small, she assumed that the meat I had was a small piece as well; they think that the meat from the island is premium.

Well, it was extremely tasty meat a bit of spice made it perfect, but the meat I had just devoured was not a mere 1kg that they served, but an entire amount close to 9kg.

I laughed inwardly. If this girl knew what I'd just eaten, perhaps she would have probably spat blood in anger and if she found out that I had the zyxist meat she might just die!

"Yes, I was hungry."

"What a stupid girl!"

She laughed again then left the kitchen, while I stood holding my plate watching her exit. Even though the suits before were somewhat reserved you could still see the outline of the body.

However, they forbade their use outside of athletic or power practice.

Yeh, those words "power practice," confused me as well, but then I realised that some students have a special power that develops when the girls reach fifty-five and the boys sixty-five, though some developed earlier.

I have zero powers, so far, but that was fine. I suppose I had my fighting skills taught to me by the Wus and survival skills taught by my mom.

Since I had survived that island without much injury, all was well.

Anyway, we had twelve sets of uniforms that we received from the school, including the three we had received when we had enrolled and had been fitted specially delivered to our school wristbands.

Now that we had entered officially, we were assigned six sets of sleeping outfits and three sets of simple shirts and shorts. Five malls were located around the premises and there we could purchase other items using our credits when we desired.

That was all well and good, but the cost was exorbitant – it was like going into Saint James or asking one of those famous local designers back home to make a simple outfit: highway robbery! I glanced at my coins; so far, I only had the 3k coins! Sigh... Maybe I should do like some students and sell parts of the animals and other materials I had.

I had zero desire to live poor, but I had no desire to exactly stand out either. Still, the best chance would be later tonight, where most students will be away.

With the plate clean, I left the kitchen and returned to my room, making sure it was locked in case of unwanted visitors.

"System, I need my room to be absolutely secured whenever I am away. Can you do something about that?"

Knowing the system, it will take a while to answer, so I pulled up the hologram to look at my inventory.

I smiled at my personal haul with around seven hundred and fifty-eight six arms corpses. I pulled up another separate screen using the school wristband where I can see the different costs, a single six arm costs five hundred coins, mmmm not too bad... Their material was not useful so I can sell those but first I should probably give a few to the others. Of course, they had their own stuff but having too much still is not what we wanted at the moment.

Scanning the other things, I paused on the image of the zyxis meat, which weighed about 2, 7k kilos since alone they were a fair size and weight. There were two hundred and ninety-four murong since they were somewhat common. I had eaten a few, though, making it a few tens less than the original amount. Their total weight remaining was around 1,5k and the crocodiles were the heaviest at 120k kilo of meat and a bunch of scales leftover that I had no desire to sell. The meat was fine I can always keep a little over half and sell the remainder.

"Ah thank you system," I said absentmindedly, with a smile.

This was great I can fully relax without worries, if not for this System we would have not even been able to live through the freeze back on the island.
