Next, Flora wanted to order a 3D-printer. Of course, she needed an S-rated one!
The best one you could buy was only B-rated and cost 30 installments of 1000 VirDias.
"Do I get it after depositing the first payment, like my new lair, or do I have to wait 30 days?"
"You have to pay fully, Milady. But the Riverstones have a service where you can hire them to pay the installments at once. Although it will cost 1200 VirDos for a 1000 VirDias installment."
"No, I want to pay in VirDias, but it would be funny to have the house full of Riverstones. I keep the option in mind when I miss my son. Actually, I do miss him, but I don't want to get on his nerves with messaging all the time. And we will see each other on the day after tomorrow." Flora paused. "Where were we?"
"You wanted to pay for the printer in VirDias."
"Yes! And I want it now! Or at least as soon as possible."
"Then, leveling the printer up would be the fastest solution."
D-rated Printer = 1000 VirDias; Upgrade to C: 1000 VirDias; 25 Upgrade-Points.C-rated Printer = 10 x VirDias; Upgrade to B: 2 x 1000 VirDias; 25 Upgrade-Points.B-rated Printer = 20 x VirDias; Upgrade to A: 3 x 1000 VirDias; 50 Upgrade-Points.A-rated Printer = -; Upgrate to S: 5 x 1000 VirDias; 100 Upgrade-Points.
So it was cheaper to level it up, too. Aidan made her a list of the designs she could register with the printer for leveling. A modification only counted if it raised the rating and gave one upgrade-point, a new design three, and an invention five. The points multiplied if she chose products above the needed grade.
He estimated that she could get quickly from C to B, but had too few A-rated blueprints. Of course, she could use S-rated ones to level to A, but that would be a waste.

Flora thought that she could produce A-rated blueprints without breaking into a sweat, so she bought the D-rated printer.
She only had one C rated modification, that raised the upgrade counter to 1/25.
"Who would have thought that the upgrade to C might be the hardest one... Okay, I haven't tried the others yet. But I have an idea! I need to learn to smith for the scenario. I'm sure my smithing-designs won't be that good."
Aidan found a few smithing teachers in the Metaworld, mostly associated with horse breeding farms. Flora decided to hire one from the Garage. She hoped they wouldn't teach her to make horseshoes but machine parts.
