Qin Chuan was speechless that this "Infinite Horror VR Game" even had such an ancient setting.
He opened his eyes and saw Gabriel lying on top of him with a face full of grief and anger, shaking him by the collar of his pajamas.
Upon seeing Gabriel, Qin Chuan immediately understood what had happened, and was at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.
He picked up his phone from beside his pillow and glanced at it—it was only 6 a.m., Gabriel was really early.
Qin Chuan held up a finger to Gabriel, making a shushing gesture, before getting out of bed, trying not to wake the other girls sleeping beside him.
Then he led an angry Gabriel out of the bedroom and closed the soundproof door behind them.
This bedroom door was originally designed to be very soundproof, to prevent people outside from hearing what was happening inside... I never thought it would be used in the opposite way today.
"Qin Chuan! Why did you awaken a substitute for Winette?! What about mine?! What about mine?!"
Sure enough, as soon as the door closed, Gabriel, who hadn't dared to shout loudly in the bedroom, immediately erupted.
She looked at Qin Chuan with a wronged expression, as if she had been treated unfairly by him.
He was obviously the one who came first!
……
"...So that's how it is. Vinette actually did that kind of thing."
In the living room, Qin Chuan told Gabriel about Winette's visit to him the previous night.
Gabriel also learned that Vignette had even borrowed money from her friends to help her buy back the Doomsday Horn.
Qin Chuan couldn't bear to see Gabriel suffer, so he helped Winette awaken her Stand and let her use its power to keep an eye on her.
"Feeling a pang of conscience?"
Qin Chuan smiled as he looked at the somewhat silent Gabriel—after listening to Qin Chuan's story, Gabriel stopped making a fuss.
It seems that even Gabriel still has some conscience when it comes to her friends, and she can't be so heartless after hearing about all the things Winette has done.
"What do you mean? It's her fault for meddling!"
Gabrielle seemed a bit stubborn, unwilling to admit that she had indeed gone a bit too far.

However, after a moment of silence, Gabriel couldn't help but sigh and said helplessly:
"Well, it's possible that I've indeed made Winette a little worried..."
Even Gabriel felt a rare sense of guilt at this moment—she understood why Winette had used her Stand ability to "torture" her yesterday.
It's probably because Gabriel has really annoyed me a lot lately.
After all, although Vinette is a demon, she is kind-hearted and naturally cannot bear to see such a dangerous item as the Doomsday Horn fall into the hands of "ordinary" humans.
It was precisely because of her urgent desire to retrieve that dangerous item that Vignette displayed an unusual sense of pressure towards Gabriel.
"I remember Vigne's Stand ability is 'Balance,' right? What did she do to you?"
Qin Chuan looked at Gabriel with some curiosity.
After helping Vinette awaken her Stand last night, Qin Chuan naturally absorbed a portion of Vinette's Stand and gained her Stand ability.
Although it has nothing to do with combat power, the Stand ability of that scale is indeed very suitable for restricting Gabriel's movements.
Perhaps Qin Chuan will be able to use the power of that balance scale stand in the future.
"She has tied my daily routine to my game equipment. From now on, I must maintain a regular schedule so that my game equipment won't disappear."
Gabriel's face showed an expression as if she had eaten a bitter melon, clearly in her opinion that losing the game equipment would be a huge loss.
"Damn it... that was some top-tier equipment I finally managed to get my hands on..."
"Wasn't it earned from selling horns?"
Qin Chuan couldn't help but complain—all the equipment on Gabriel's account was bought with real money by Qin Chuan.
If I didn't know the truth and only listened to Gabriel's words, I would have thought that Gabriel had earned all that equipment through her own hard work.
……
"Gabriel worked so hard today."
During breakfast, Irisviel couldn't help but speak up, her words filled with curiosity.
Irisviel was naturally very impressed with Gabriel, the part-time maid Qin Chuan had hired.
However, that impression wasn't positive—because Gabriel always looked like she hadn't woken up properly when she was working, which is why Irisviel remembered her so vividly.
But today was different. Gabriel seemed to be working very seriously, and even her dark circles had disappeared, which naturally surprised Gabriel.
"It's probably because I slept very well last night."
Qin Chuan couldn't help but laugh as he said, "I'll pull it up and then..."
Because her daily routine is tied to her game equipment, Gabriel now has to change her schedule in order to keep her game equipment.
At least forget about staying up all night playing games; Gabriel must have been forced to get a good night's sleep by Vinette yesterday.
As for working hard... it's probably because I want to earn enough money as soon as possible to buy back the Doomsday Horn.
Gabriel probably thinks that the reason she was treated this way by Viktor is because she hasn't been able to buy back the Doomsday Horn.
So as long as he works hard to earn money and buys back the Doomsday Horn, then Winette will stop making things difficult for herself.
Qin Chuan could only sympathize with Gabriel's naive idea—he thought that Gabriel would probably be manipulated by Vinette in the future.
Vinette's strict demands on Gabriel weren't solely due to the Doomsday Horn.
More importantly, Winette genuinely considers Gabriel a friend, which is why she hopes Gabriel can return to a normal person's sleep schedule.
She's less of a friend and more like a mother.

Chapter 411 The Clash Between Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri (Part 1)
When Qin Chuan arrived at the school gate in the morning, he saw two familiar figures already standing there.
One is Kasumigaoka Utaha, with a calm expression and a faint smile, who at first glance seems to have the air of a literary young woman, but a closer look reveals her cunning and scheming nature. (Tomoe)
One was Eriri, who was staring intently at Kasumigaoka Utaha from the side, her expression showing some displeasure, but seemingly having to restrain herself to maintain her image.
In the works Qin Chuan saw before his transmigration, Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri were both well-known beautiful girls from the private Toyonosaki School.
There were even titles like "The Two Beauties of Toyonosaki Private School," which sound like something out of an early online novel. (Further details omitted.)
Although this world, having incorporated elements from other works, has seen the emergence of many beautiful girls in the school who are no less stunning than the two, their popularity remains undiminished.
So when the two of them stood at the school gate, seemingly waiting for someone, many passing students were curious about who 16th grader they were waiting for.
When Qin Chuan saw this scene, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.
He seemed to have already guessed who Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri were waiting for—currently, besides the teachers, he was probably the only one in the school who could have contact with both of them at the same time.
Sure enough, as Qin Chuan approached the school gate, he saw Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes light up and she ran straight towards him.
Qin Chuan even saw Kasumigaoka Utaha reach out her hand, probably preparing to do what those light novel heroines do and hug his arm.
But to everyone's surprise, Eriri, who was standing to the side, was unusually perceptive and actually sensed Kasumigaoka Utaha's intention the moment she took her first step.
She instinctively reached out and grabbed Kasumigaoka Utaha's arm, forcefully pulling her back from running towards Qin Chuan.
Pulled back by Eriri, Kasumigaoka Utaha was forced to stop. She squinted at Eriri and said with a forced smile:
"Eri, what are you doing? It's not appropriate to be pulling and tugging at each other in public, is it?"
Having her thoughts read, Kasumigaoka Utaha showed no embarrassment whatsoever. Instead, she turned the tables and blamed Eriri first.
"You bastard, don't think I can't see through you. You're the one who wants to pull and shove in public!"
Eriri gritted her teeth, her expression suggesting she had already seen through Kasumigaoka Utaha's intentions, determined to protect Qin Chuan from Kasumigaoka Utaha's grasp.
Kasumigaoka Utaha wanted to say that Eriri's way of guarding Qin Chuan looked like a wicked dragon guarding its treasure.
But considering Eriri's grimacing yet non-threatening expression, she felt it would be more appropriate to say she was guarding her owner's pet dog.
"I'm just a member of the Paranormal Research Department, and I'd like to discuss some discoveries about paranormal events with the department head. Is there a problem?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha seemed to have already prepared an excuse, speaking to Eriri before looking at Qin Chuan, who had already walked up to them.
"It shouldn't be a problem for a member to want to discuss paranormal research with the minister, right, minister?"
"You two just don't cause me any trouble."
Qin Chuan looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri, who didn't get along, and felt somewhat helpless—the two seemed to be born to clash.
It seems that Kasumigaoka Utaha was waiting for her at the school gate this morning. When Eriri arrived at school and saw Kasumigaoka Utaha, she guessed what she was going to do and stood with her at the gate.
The two attracted a lot of attention. Now that Qin Chuan had appeared, many students around them realized that the two had come for Qin Chuan.
I reckon the topic of "Qin Chuan being pursued by both Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri at the same time" will soon spread throughout the entire school.
Qin Chuan didn't care about others discussing him; he just hated trouble—it was fine if those people discussed it amongst themselves.
If anyone keeps bombarding Qin Chuan with questions about today's topic, he'd rather not bother.
……
Sure enough, this time the rumors spread much faster than before.
After all, the two previous topics Qin Chuan had been about were girls from other schools—even the famous prestigious Shuchiin School was still an outside school, so it wasn't a very high-profile topic.
This time, the two girls from the same school, Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha, are involved with Qin Chuan, so the students' enthusiasm for gossip is naturally much higher.
During the first class, while Qin Chuan and Kato Megumi were, as usual, daydreaming and chatting on their phones, Kato Megumi directly asked this question:
"I heard that Kasumigaoka-senpai and Eriri had a fight this morning over you?"
"...The news spread so fast? You even know about Hui?"
Qin Chuan was somewhat surprised to see the message on LINE on his phone.
Kato Megumi doesn't usually pay much attention to gossip, so Qin Chuan was quite surprised that even she knew about it.
"I overheard several classmates discussing this before class."
Kato Megumi replied to the message quickly—taking advantage of her low profile, she almost openly played with her phone on her desk, but the teacher just couldn't notice.
"It's Hihama and the others who are discussing it."
"Yui Yuigahama..."
Upon seeing this name, Qin Chuan subconsciously looked up at the pink-haired girl in the seat in front of him.
Yui Yuigahama seemed oblivious to Qin Chuan's gaze, listening intently to the teacher's lecture.
Qin Chuan had noticed before that Yui Yuigahama would occasionally approach him out of the blue, asking if he wanted to go to karaoke or shopping with them.
Qin Chuan rejected her at the time, and even a few months ago he had the thought that "Yuigahama Yui might like him."
However, Qin Chuan did not sense any shyness or similar emotions from Yui Yuigahama when she was with him, so he assumed it was just his imagination.
As for Miura Yumiko... Qin Chuan really didn't consider her at all.
The main reason is that Qin Chuan and Miura Yumiko had very little contact, and Miura Yumiko didn't dare to approach Qin Chuan in person, which led to this result.
Yumiko Miura's friend, Hina Ebina, noticed this and that's why she's been so worried about Yumiko.
She realized that Qin Chuan seemed to have no feelings for Miura Yumiko at all. If Miura Yumiko didn't take the initiative, she probably wouldn't even exchange a few words with Qin Chuan before graduation.
Especially now that Qin Chuan seems to be getting more and more popular, Ebina Himeko is really seeing it all and getting anxious, just like an old mother watching her daughter unable to get married.
Chapter 412, Chapter 4 (9). This is the end of the band's invitation.
"So, was Eriri really competing with Kasumigaoka-senpai for Hatsukawa this morning?"
As expected, at lunchtime, Kita Ikuyo looked at Eriri with a curious expression and asked the question that the students had been discussing all morning.
Of course, if you look closely, you can see that Kita Ikuyo's expression, besides curiosity, also carries a hint of wariness.
Not only Kita Ikuyo, but Kato Megumi also looked over with some concern, seemingly waiting for Eriri to give a definite answer.
Even Goto Ichiri looked a little nervous, as if she was worried about how to compete with Eriri if she really admitted it.
After all, among the lunch team, Goto Ichiri was the least confident—even if she dressed up properly, she would be a standard beautiful girl.
"I already said that's not how it is! I was just trying to stop Kasumigaoka Utaha from getting close to Hata!"
