Chapter 176 The Beach episode! Part-2.
While Link rushed away with the other guys, Riya had a bewildered look on her face due to this sudden turn of events.
"Um…" (Riya)
Lia rolled her eyes as she glanced at that black card. The black card had five stars printed on it and there were several intricate designs made in golden colour.
(The black material of the card is made from a 'scale of a Black dragon' and that gold substance that flows and shines better than gold, is actually the golden liquid extracted from the eyes of a dragon…)
…
(Info dumps ahead…)
Legend has it, that at the end of the fifty-year orc war, a sleeping black dragon was accidentally disturbed by orc armies.
In its fury, the dragon rampaged for several days and caused many casualties.
Eventually, its head was brutally smashed into meat paste by the strongest human, Ashtel Rex. (Ashtel is currently the strongest human…)
Later the body of the dragon was seized by the Rex family and used to make various artifacts and other things.
This black card is one of the things that were made using the scales of that black dragon.
[Item Name: Legend's Mischief]
[Item Description:
This card is a symbol of absolute and limitless wealth. Those who possess this card are said to be blessed with unlimited and unrestricted wealth.
Those who hold this card can use it to buy anything and everything that the human empire can provide. May it be legal or illegal, this card will bless you with the connections and wealth to buy whatever you desire.]
In simple words, this Card has an 'infinite' amount of money stored in it. You can pay trillions and trillions with this one card. The human race may go bankrupt before the money in this card could run out.
(Only Five such cards exist in the human world. Aside from Ashtel, Neo, Raji, and Jin, Link has the fifth one in his possession)
Usually, only SS-rankers are supposed to have this card on them as this thing is a literal national treasure, but Link being the only son of Ashtel and the heir to the Rex family, this one was gifted to him on his most recent birthday.
(Ashtel rewarded him for getting a good rank in the final exams… Ashtel may look like a strict and stern person, but he is actually very kind to his son….)
(Bro literally stopped natural disasters and calamities, just to stop the wrath of the heavens on Link's birth…)
…
(Back to the chapter…)
Riya tilted her head in confusion and glanced at Lia as she asked:
"Um…. What is this thing for?" (Riya)
"What the!! Cough! Ahem…. Well you can say, it's an 'ATM' card technically…." (Lia)
Lia nearly spits a mouthful of blood at the shocking ignorance of this happy-go-lucky girl.
'Sigh~ she doesn't even know about these things… are you sure, she won't be robbed of her money by others…. Sigh~' (Lia)
Lia shook her head in helplessness.
No matter how Link tried to impress Riya with wealth, it would be useless if she didn't even know about the meaning of that wealth in the first place.
'But… perhaps this carelessness might be the reason why that muscle head likes her…. Sigh~' (Lia)
"Forget about it, let's just head in, we still have to buy swim-suits remember?…" (Lia)
"But I want to buy those tasty-looking donuts first~" (Riya)
"Indeed, they look good, they must taste good too~" (Ellie)
Lia shook her head and dragged the two foodies away with her before they could run away on their own.
…
On the other side.
"Phew~ we ended up buying so many things, didn't we!" (Link)
Everyone else nodded their heads at Link's remark.
(All of them just bought one 'swim shorts' each, and even those were just some random ones that looked okay enough…)
Due to the four not being interested in fashion and shopping, their shopping spree was over in just ten minutes. (Nine minutes extra because the receptionist was an old lady who took time to calculate the money…)
"You all are such fine young kids, girls will be flocking over you little troublemakers…" (Old lady)
"My husband used to be a strong guy too, but alas he left the world a few years ago…" (Old lady)
Hearing the flattery from the old lady, Zach smiled slightly and replied in an embarrassed tone:
"Hehe… you flatter us.." (Zach)
"Uh… oh you were also there my child, which kindergarten are you from?… This old lady's eyesight is so weak, I didn't even see you there…" (Old lady)
Hearing the old lady say that he was from kindergarten, Zach felt like he was insulted beyond recovery and the smile on his face turned from a gentle one to a creepy one.
"HEHE…. Let's send this old lady to her husban-" (Zach)
*mgfh*
Before Zach could speak any more nonsense, Liam blocked his mouth and stopped him from speaking.
"Hahah, he is still young you see, so he is a bit mannerless… haha we should leave now, bye-bye!" (Link)
All three of them dodged the strange looks from the old lady and hurriedly left the place while dragging Zach away with them.
After leaving the place, they all look lost for some reason.
"Uh, what do we do now?" (Link)
"Why are you looking at me, I don't know man, I never go wandering around in the markets…" (Liam)
"Um, I also haven't gone on any date or something, I seriously have no idea what to do now either…" (Zach)
Even Rio shook his head and said:
"Well, mostly Lia drags me around all over the places when we are on a date, thus I don't have any idea about it either…" (Rio)
(All four of them are the type to never hang out with friends, in fact, all four of them have close to no friends at all…)
Aside from Rio who is a natural loner, Link doesn't go shopping because he has no need for it, his servants do the errands for him mostly. He rarely ever goes out from the Rex mansion usually.
Until recently Liam was the type of guy who always remained cold to others and was focused on beating Fade, thus he never had any friends either.
Even Zach was so focused on impressing Riko that he neglected his social life, to the point he also didn't have any friends.
(If not for today's encounter, Zach would have never made any true friends at all…)
"Uh, should we go to a nearby café then, we agreed to meet with the girls at the beach after, and there are still quite a few hours before the agreed time…." (Zach)
"Yeah, they must be still shopping right now, afterall they have more fashion sense than us…. We just bought some random things that fit the eyes…" (Liam)
All four of them nodded their head.
(Surprisingly they all knew that they were hopeless and couldn't be considered good boyfriends, if it were some other girls they might have already been angered by their ignorant attitudes…)
"Heh, at least I don't have to worry about my girlfriend being angry at me! Hehe!" (Zach)
All three of them looked at Zach and said in a united tone:
"Because you have none!"
(In the end, they all went to the café and ordered some random things to pass the time… they had no idea what to do for fun besides sitting in that café and sipping some juice….)
(If not for the girls, they might all have never even gone out of their way to stop their training and wander outside for fun…)
…
*achoo*
"I-I feel like Link is talking about me, behind my back!" (Riya)
Riya pouted her cheeks as she thought about it.
Then her eyes fell on those two giant weapons that Lia was carrying.
She glanced down and seeing that she was nowhere near those that Lia had, her pout became even bigger.
'This is unfair! I need them too!!' (Riya)
'If I had them this big, I would look better than those big sisters that appear on TV shows!' (Riya) (She watches those female new anchors to compare sizes… cough!!)
Then Riya glanced at Ellie who was flatter than her, and sighed in relief.
'Sigh~ at least I am not as flat as her…. Safe~' (Riya)
Just then, Ellie altered her human form and increased her 'weapon' size.
(As a dragon she can easily morph her form to whatever she wants it to be, she can even become as tall as a building while still remaining in her humanoid form…)
Seeing that instant change in size, Riya was so shocked that she had nothing else to say. She felt like her worldview had collapsed all of a sudden.
"Hey, tell me how you did that!?" (Riya)
"Uh, what? Ehem well you know I am a dragon and can change-" (Ellie)
"Ellie sensei! Teach me that technique!!" (Riya)
"UH…. Well…" (Ellie)
A helpless look appeared on Ellie's face as she was having a hard difficulty avoiding those shining eyes of Riya.
Riya seemed to think that Ellie knew some legendary technique that could increase your size in an instant.
(If such a convenient technique existed, the whole world would have been peaceful… as everyone would have been busy appreciating beauty… cough! Vote here if you think that the author loves to write random bullsh*T)

Author's Notes.
Yo! It's your beloved author here!
(A formal apology: Let me explain guys, I was being influenced by the demon king Rio when I wrote this chapter, don't blame me for the random bullsh*t I spouted, it's all because of the perv god Rio's influence. Cough!)
Question of the day.
Do you not have a girlfriend because you are boring or are you boring because you don't have a girlfriend?
(This wise question was asked by a wise sorcerer who dared to go against 'pure love' and got beaten by plot armor…)
