Chapter 28 - Driving Skills, Master-class DL

"There is no need for that." Michael shook his head as he took his seat at the dining table.

Looking at the array of dishes prepared in front of him, Michael was amazed.

Currently, with him possessing the beginner level chef skills, he could tell just how well prepared the dishes were.

With his current skills, he did not have the capability of preparing these dishes as well as they had been prepared.

While it had been quite a while since the dishes had been served, the aroma that the dishes emitted was very attracting.

If compared to the dishes that he prepared back at the apartment, the dishes in front of him were several levels above.

Without a doubt, they had been prepared by high level chefs of the hotel. This was to be expected, considering that currently, Michael had booked a presidential suite of the hotel.

As Michael began eating, he realized, the lady was still standing beside him. This puzzled him slightly, but then again, he said, "You can go and do other things. There is no need for you to stand there. After I'm done, I will inform the front desk."

The lady hesitated before she said, "Actually, I have been assigned to serve you. During the time that you are dining, in case you need anything, you can inform me."

Michael raised his brows slightly at those words. But then again, he shook his head before he said, "I don't need anything right now. If there is, I will inform you."

Looking at Michael, the lady understood, it seemed that he had no intention of keeping her there. So, she gave him a slight bow, before she left.

Michael did not focus on the lady who had left. Instead, he continued eating, enjoying the meal that was prepared for him.

A little while later, after he was done, he went back to the bedroom. There, he called the front desk, informing them that he was done with the meal, and they could clear the dishes away.

After contacting the front desk, Michael continued reading. This time, he was reading about the traffic rules and the road signs.

This was quite easy for him, as the information about this area was not as deep as the others that he had read so far.

By the time that the clock struck 2:37 p.m., Michael had finally finished watching the few videos that he had downloaded.

Considering that he was watching in fast forward, and it was just on the basics of driving different types of vehicles, he was able to finish them within just 1½ hours.

As usual, the moment that the progress bar reached 100%, he received a notification from the system.

[Experience full. You have acquired beginner level driving skills. +1SP.]

And as a wave of information surged into his mind, Michael felt relieved.

If not for the fact that he had decided to search for the information related to driving different types of vehicles, today, he might not have been able to gain the beginner level driving skills.

It seemed, when it came to some skills, he would have to do some research first. And, it was clear to him that the system rated skill levels differently as compared to how other people did.

With his current skills, with the ability of driving different types of vehicles, if it was revealed, who would believe that he was a beginner?

Additionally, considering his age, how many people would believe that he had the ability of driving different types of vehicles?

This was something that was supposed to be impossible, considering that he was only 18 now.

While Michael was still thinking about this, he finally processed all the information regarding the beginner level driving skills.

At this point, Michael felt as though he had been driving different types of vehicles for quite a while.

Even though it felt that he had only been driving each and every type of vehicle for about a month, it was enough.

With the experience of driving a vehicle for a month, if he went and took a driving test exam, he should be able to easily get a driving license.

But at the moment, Michael was not willing to waste time with this issue. It was just that, he could not buy a driving license from the system.

After all, all the items within the system were priced at 0.01SP, which was equivalent to $1,000. Who would obtain a driving license worth $1,000? That was too extravagant.

But in any case, if there was a possibility of him acquiring a driving license from the system store, he would not hesitate.

And as he thought about this, he suddenly thought of something else. What if, he took a driving license that included all the vehicles that he was familiar with?

The system store had everything that could be found within this world. And, a driving license was something that could be found within this world as well.

Additionally, in order for one to be able to obtain a driving license, there was a fee that they needed to pay. It was not just about the payment required in order for one to take the test, but the fee for processing the license itself could be included.

It was just that, Michael was not sure if he included every type of vehicle that he had learned, would he be able to gain a driving license from the store?

As soon as he thought about that, he accessed the store, before going to the vehicles and tools category.

While this category mentioned vehicles and tools, it actually included not only vehicles, but anything related to vehicles and tools could be found within this category.

But of course, the condition was that, the value of whatever he wanted had to be at least $1,000 in the real world.

As he began looking at the items available within the store, he began using the filter function available.

In just a little while, he had filtered out the unnecessary items, leaving behind items that were in the category that he was looking for.

It only took a little while for him to be able to go through all the current available items, before finally finding his target.

[Master-class driving license: a special type of driving license granted by the Federal Department of Transportation Authority, granting the receiver the authority to operate all ground vehicles, including personal, commercial transport, emergency vehicles and heavy industrial machinery. Price: 0.025SP.]

Looking at the information of this type of license, for a moment, Michael was dumbfounded.

Actually, there was something like this? How was it that he did not even know about it?

But when he thought about it, he realized, considering the life that he had been living, how would he be able to know about the existence of something like this?

If not for the fact that he had decided to try this out after learning how to drive all types of ground vehicles, he would not have even known about the existence of such a driving license.

As for the price, it was just slightly above the minimum expenditure requirement of the store.

Without any hesitation, Michael went ahead and made the purchase. With that, his SP reduced from 15, which was the value of his SP after he acquired the beginner level driving skills, to 14.975.

While it was kind of painful to spend the SP that he was trying to accumulate, it was better to have a driving license. This way, if he needed to drive, he would be able to do it without having to worry about the police.

As soon as the purchase was completed, in front of his eyes, on top of the bedside cabinet, there was a flash of light before something appeared.

Michael, even though startled by the sudden appearance of the item, he still reacted. He picked up the card from the bedside cabinet, observing it closely.

It was a card, the size of an ordinary bank card. It was completely black, with the front having the holder's name, which currently read Michael Santos.

As for the back, there was only a QR code that seemed to need to be scanned. But apart from that, there was nothing else that was written on the card.

This left Michael a little speechless. While he had seen the appearance of this item in the store, he only saw the front.

Initially, he thought, maybe the other details were at the back of the card. But now, looking at it, apart from the QR code, there was nothing else.

"Does this thing really even exist in real life?" Michael could not help but wonder in a low voice.

But as soon as he voiced out his question, he received a prompt from the system.

[The host does not need to worry. This card exists in real life, and several people have it. While the number is not that high considering the population of the world, still, there are six people in total who hold this type of card. You are the seventh.]

Michael was once again dumbfounded by the information that was revealed by the system.

This thing was actually real? For a moment, he really thought that this was something that had just been created by the system.

After thinking, Michael came up with an idea. He opened the browser on the phone, before he accessed the FDTA website. Then, when it needed him to sign up or login, he tapped where there was an option of scanning a QR code.

Then, he scanned the QR code behind the card, and in the next moment, there was a change in the screen of the phone, as a profile was suddenly opened.
