Chapter 160: A Good Deal?

Evelyn couldn't help but hesitate. 'Should I just buy one of everything?'

Of course, she couldn't be too excessive on a single trip. Just to be safe, it was best to only ever make purchases that could fill up around half of Craig's artifact at most, which was a little less than thirty cubic meters. Even if someone found it shocking, it still shouldn't set off any waves.

'Whatever, I'll just buy a few types of cakes, candies, and some milk. Then I can talk to Eula about discounts before buying more.' Evelyn nodded to herself after she came to a decision, and started making her orders as the maid noted it down.

Given that there were many choices when it came to candies and milk, she could only pick the ones that looked somewhat normal. And recalling the dishes her friends seemed to like in the carriage, she ordered those as well, which also solved the cake issue.

"So that will be eight orders each of Timbleberry Shortcake, Karpesian Parfait, Assorted Grade Two Fruit Candies, and Cocogoat Milk?"

Evelyn nodded with a smile. "Yes."

Obviously, she had no idea what a Cocogoat was. She just hoped that the milk wasn't fluorescent or disgusting.

"Um, would you like to have a spatial artifact along with the order?"

'This lady really wants to rip me off, huh?' Evelyn felt her lips twitch. "No thank you, I have my own."

The maid looked a little disappointed, but guided her to a seat near the glass counter anyway as she went to fetch her order. There were already a few students waiting nearby, though they mostly seemed to be lost in their own couples' world.

Although Evelyn was grateful that no one tried to start an awkward conversation with her, she also felt a little embarrassed. Looking around, she really couldn't spot any other lone souls. 'I-I'm the only one here alone, huh? If I knew this was going to happen, I would have dragged teacher along.'

She grinned as she pointed the pink-haired girl at the stone plate on the glass counter. "Okay, that's all good. Now place your badge here, please."

Evelyn frowned as she held the purple coin badge that she usually kept pinned on her chest, but she hesitated. "Why would we need to do this?"

She didn't have many contribution points in her badge, after all. It wouldn't do if she put it there and it defaulted or something. In that case, it would be better to just cancel the order. 'Why didn't anyone tell me it needed contribution points before, ahh!'

The maid smiled gently as she waved her hand. "Oh, don't look so worried. I forgot it must be your first time here. Spending money within the academy is also considered a contribution, so you will get some points depending on how much you spent. So, don't worry, you won't lose anything."

Evelyn blinked. 'Is it like cashback?'

A little relieved, she briefly put the badge on the stone tablet, and after it glowed faintly, the maid lady nodded at her. Inspecting it again, she realized that her contribution points had increased by 1513!

Evelyn's eyes shone in delight. 'Huh? Isn't this a good way to farm points?'

Of course, although the idea did come to her briefly, she wouldn't waste her 'hard earned' spirit stones on contribution points unless she really needed them. Plus, even in that case, she would first have to ask to check if there weren't any more efficient ways.

Now that she had both the goodies and some points in exchange for fifteen crystals, Evelyn was no longer in such a bad mood. She ignored the strange stares from earlier and walked out while humming a happy tune to herself. 'It's not so bad, after all.'

Immediately after she left, hushed conversations broke out on the tables in the 'cafeteria'.

"What is she going to do with dozens of cakes and parfaits?!"
