Chapter 9: Senior Disciple!
The journey to full control over his life still had a long way to go.
After planning for who knows how many hours, Ken left the pagoda and headed towards the closest restaurant.
While in the library, nobody disturbed him, as most of those who were there had similarities to his way of thinking, and it’s a known fact that silence is sacred in such places.
But the restaurant was a different story, as even if people didn’t come for him, he would.
"How much currency do I have on me?" he asked himself.
Food in such restaurants wasn’t free even for disciples, but it wasn’t paid for in merits or anything like that; it was paid for in spirit stones, a currency that separated the realm of practitioners from that of mortals and also had use for anyone that had it in hand.
All in all, the disciples were given enough spirit stones to live carefree for a month, and if they didn’t have enough after that or wanted to buy other things, they could take on quests or positions to get more.
There were also all kinds of rankings, and contributions were rewarded well, so if a disciple took on a profession or came up with a praiseworthy idea, they got rewarded accordingly.
Thus, the entire sect was harmonious; anyone could live and focus their entire day on what was important.
Looking at his pouch, Ken still had 30 spirit stones, the amount he got at the beginning of the month.
That was enough to get food for the entire day and eat to his fill, but if he wanted to economize, that same amount could last more days, and he would save some spirit stones to buy other necessities if he wanted.
