The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL] - Chapter 86

Chapter 86: Chicken Villa

The chicken debacle only ended when Luca decided to buy a system Chicken Coop. The small area he made before wouldn’t be able to hold these giants.

However, to do this, he had to obtain more CP. After buying 12,000 CP worth of explosives for the earlier ‘clean-up,’ Luca was left with just 42,100 CP.

“Guys, I’m sorry, but could you please watch over them first? Make sure they don’t run around trampling on everything. I’d be quick!” Luca looked over at Xavier and Ollie, who was still recovering from shock.

Luca didn’t take too long and only recycled enough to buy a system Chicken coop, which cost him a very painful 50,000CP.

His balance was now a pitiful 2,100CP, but at least the chickies would have a better house.

But better was an understatement.

Luca realized that their coop was far grander than his house or their dorm. When it shot up from the ground, constructing itself like the training hall, he didn’t think it’d be anything much.

But he was wrong.

Luca decided that if he ever got kicked out of the school and his supposed house, he would just slum it back here with the chickies.

Even they looked a bit happier than usual.

They got sprayed and cleaned upon entering the chicken coop, only to find a large pocket space that had what looked like chicken apartments.

Xavier noted how this was a pocket dimension inside an existing space and couldn’t help but look at Luca, who looked fine even after such a construction.

Just how much spiritual energy was required to construct that? A ton. And Luca’s CP wallet suffered to give these chickens a better life, but Xavier wouldn’t know about that.

“Host, we just need to set a supply in this inventory, and it will keep the feeders operating.”

Luca thought that was great; at least he was sure the chickies would be fed and that the eggs would automatically be harvested! But while he was happy about everything, Ollie, the worry-wart, was internally crumbling.

Unlike Xavier, who had an idea about spatial abilities, Ollie could only refer to the stories his ancient ancestors passed down. And these were the ancestors who had already passed away—that old!

The interstellar humans had spiritual abilities, but these extraordinary manifestations were a thing of the ancient past, right?

Heck, if they weren’t, then wouldn’t it be easy for them to deal with the Orcs and other creatures on even footing?

Many of the elders say that it’s because they lost the ability to hit the minimum grades to access these abilities. The dwindling presence of spiritual energy made it impossible to progress into higher ranks. It had long been accepted that one survives with what one was born with.

But what was he seeing right now? Two people, TWO, actually have spatial abilities and were just brandishing it in front of him.

Forget about walking and talking bones, the fines, and his allowance! Ollie was seeing the seed for civil war.

The perennial doomsayer has now thought about The Federation, space pirates, and even their next-door neighbor. Don’t even forget the undead!!! Was he supposed to guard against the spirits of old people, too?

Yeah, Ollie was in deep shit. But in deeper shit was his brother and this kinda-scary guy.

But you know, that wasn’t all.

After they were done settling the issue of the apparently real chickens, Luca’s stomach growled, and a whole new crisis unraveled in front of Ollie.

Three people sat together awkwardly.

It didn’t start out like this. When they started, Xavier and Ollie figured Luca would reach for a nutrient solution like any normal person. But when they sat around to rest and resume their discussions, Luca began to pull out what looked like actual food and fruits.

Ollie repeated, “FRUITS.” His blood pressure increased by the second because he now had a very crazy inkling.

It was worse for Xavier, who had access to visual resonance.

He didn’t need to guess. Just looking was enough to see.

With all this, he wouldn’t even be surprised if Luca pulled the entire Imperial Palace out of his space.

Xavier remembered all the speculations they had about this one mysterious vendor.

But none of it included overly skittish, naive, and excessively charitable.

In front of him sat the person they’d all been looking for. And just moments ago, Xavier ended up tied to this guy til death.

He vowed to take care of him as part of his repentance for taking Luca’s innocence. But he didn’t think he’d be guarding him now for the sake of the Empire.

Luca was like a golden goose who was now distributing food to both Xavier and the mop.

On the other hand, Ollie kept returning to the day he received apples from Luca. He said he got them from a Star Mall online store.

But he should’ve realized how Luca looked at him weirdly when he mentioned how valuable these were.

No wonder. Because even now, Luca doesn’t seem to know. Or he really just thought so highly of them that he was willing to give it away like that.

“Luca, that store… Is it yours?”

“…”

The poor guy short-circuited a bit. He heard the question and panicked as he relaxed too much and forgot about the secrets he had been hiding.

It was just that he felt so comfortable that it slipped his mind.

Now that Ollie knows, would he stop being brothers with him? Would he be mad that he was overcharging for his products?

Luca’s brows knitted, and Xavier had a bad feeling.

“It’s okay if the store is yours. We just wanted to ask something.” Xavier looked at Ollie, who, for the first time, seemed to be on the same wavelength.

Business was business, and Ollie was still a Mylor, even if he was tied up and twisted.

Oh no.

Luca panicked and decided to confess. Children who admitted to their wrongdoings were easier to forgive, and he really was just in dire need.

He hoped they would understand.

They had to!

So Luca bowed his head and confessed, “I’m sorry! I own the shop. I- I didn’t mean to overprice!!!” Luca almost wailed, and his head nearly touched the ground as he bowed.

Yeah. No. Xavier and Ollie looked at each other. Realizing that something was really wrong about the situation.

“Luca. What do you mean by overpricing?” Xavier asked, his expression purposely unreadable.

*Gasp!*

Were they not aware of it before? Did he just get caught by admitting?!

“Brother, did you think you were overpricing?” It was now Ollie’s turn to ask. And he tried to ask as calmly as possible so as not to spook Luca any more than necessary.

“I looked at all the apples. And they were all from the best farms according to the listings. And they were certified to the nines.” Luca clenched his hands into fists, trying his best to explain what happened.

“But I knew that my apples have a special benefit to them, so I priced it higher than most apples, only stopping before the top-rated shop so I wouldn’t stand out too much.”

Even back in Tesseris, he knew that being too expensive and too cheap would just call attention to him, so he tried to use a price that was within the acceptable range. But the looks on Xavier and Ollie’s faces weren’t that good.

Did he do something so bad?
