Taking the spotlight

Eldrian returned, not at all happy with the expenditure. He now had the most expensive clothes he had ever bought safely stored in his inventory. And they weren't just expensive in-game.

If Eldrian were to convert the cost with the simplified exchange rate of 1 gold equaled 100 dollars, then the entire outfit was an expensive 700 dollars' worth. And actually, the exchange rate was slightly above 100 dollars per 1 gold atm. 

Thinking of this certainly did not help Eldrian's mood, though he soldiered on upon concluding that it was a necessary evil. 'I should probably at least look the part if I am going to become a noble.'

This thought however did not help him calm down, instead, he felt that he didn't want to appear like a noble. He worried that he would get sucked into all the nonsense that he far too often saw nobles being sucked into.
