The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL] novel Chapter 45

Chapter 45: Recycler

Half the items don’t even make sense to Luca. This shopping catalog was too much for someone who could only afford discounted goods.

There were categories like food, furniture, planting, apparel, technology, and weapons.

The number of things to look at blinded him, and he didn’t know what to check first.

But then he noticed a blueprints category and saw how all of them were labeled ’basic.’

So, would he see ’advanced’ versions too?

Then Luca looked at the prices of each item. They were in points; frankly, he didn’t know if they were expensive.

"Do we have any CP left over from earlier?" Luca was hopeful, but how much CP could he get from one person?

"We have a balance of 100CP, Host. Technically, we can only buy things under the Miscellaneous category, which are mostly waste products or a few packed snacks."

"Even trash was for sale?"

Unlike D-29, who wasn’t exactly happy about having access to the Trove but only being able to afford trash, Luca’s thinking was the other way around.

As a certified money-grubber and penny-pincher, Luca knew that someone’s trash was somebody else’s treasure. And as the resident poor person, he was usually that somebody.

His eyes shone as he hurried towards the Miscellaneous category to look for trash!

They even had radioactive waste?! Wow!

However, that meant he needed to be careful when handling such items.

Luca even decided to wear his protective suit, which they had given him back in Tesseris, to protect his pills from being contaminated by himself. How ironic.

Based on the icons, most of the trash was packed in cubes. But Luca was banking on finding a particular kind of trash.

"Aha!" He exclaimed after guessing correctly.

[Corrupted Trash Cube]

[50CP]

He remembered that the cheapest items on the Trove were individually wrapped candies that were 5CP each. So, each cube was just like buying 10 candies for him?

If this works, then this would be such a bargain!

His only reluctance actually stemmed from the Dungeon selling something like this when it was evidently asking for CP points. So, he wasn’t that confident that his plan would work as intended.

But he still decided to try.

If it failed, then Luca would just punish himself by looking for his roommate!

Somewhere in a classroom that lectured about military hierarchy, a certain white-haired point farm felt a chill run down his spine. But Luca’s focus wasn’t on him but on hoping his plan would work.

With bated breath, Luca confirmed the prompt about buying an item.

[Acquired: Corrupted Trash Cube x 1]

Thankfully, it was directly stored inside the inventory instead of landing in front of him. He had been concerned about the health hazards of having something like that out in the open.

"Host, I’m not sure I follow. What did you need trash for?"

"I’m going to try something out, so you better pray for me," Luca said as he headed for the Recycler’s chute.

It was rather large and could probably fit a few Elephants. Then D-29 witnessed its host taking out the trash cube he just bought!

"!"

[Acquired: 200CP]

The poor guy who didn’t like spending anything had to close his eyes before confirming the purchase of a Manual of Constitution. He was going to test this first in case it was a scam.

[Acquired: Basic Manual of Constitution x1]

It was found in his inventory, like the trash cubes he bought earlier, and mentally selecting it opened a new prompt. _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}

[Use Item?]

[Yes] or [No]

The moment he selected ’yes,’ Luca’s body was enveloped in golden light as the Manual disintegrated before him.

This was definitely not a scam because Luca felt the effects the moment the lights dissipated.

Wasn’t that a little too convenient?

"How was it, Host? Did you get the desired effect?"

"Yeah, and it’s saying I could use this at least three times at this level! Just how fit would I be after doing that?"

Luca looked at the 10,100CP remaining and suddenly thought that the idea of Xavier didn’t seem so bad now. If he was going to end up feeling this good, then maybe it would be okay to be a little bit embarrassed every now and then.

What was dignity and pride when it couldn’t feed him?

Luca spent the remaining time buying and using both the Basic Manuals of Dexterity and Strength.

For the first time, he actually felt like racing toward the custom training pods to see if the Manual of Dexterity affected his hand speed.

This was crucial to him, as unbeknownst to the guy whose real-life knowledge mostly came from reading and articles, most of his classmates were trained with the tempered hand speeds of single dogs.

And he needed to catch up!
