But just as he was about to grab his schoolbag, Gabriel, dressed in a maid outfit, suddenly pulled him to a corner. Hiss.
Qin Chuan was initially puzzled as to what Gabriel wanted, but soon he saw her pull a large wad of banknotes from her pocket. Nine
Her expression was somewhat tired—even though Gabriel's schedule was normal under Vinette's management, she looked like someone who hadn't had a proper rest in a long time.
Clearly, for Gabriel, playing games is true relaxation—and because of Vigne's management, Gabriel's gaming time has decreased significantly.
For Gabriel, this blow was far more severe than irregular sleep patterns; it was like a withdrawal reaction.
"310" So now Gabriel is so eager to pull Qin Chuan to a corner because she feels she can finally escape this situation of being managed by Vinette:
"So... I'll have enough money to buy back the horn now, right?"
"Oh?"
Qin Chuan looked at the large stack of banknotes that Gabriel had pulled out with some surprise—judging by the amount, it should indeed be enough to buy back the Doomsday Horn.
After all, after the incident, Winette pressed Gabriel's head and carefully calculated the cost of those equipment, finally arriving at a rather outrageous figure.
Qin Chuan originally thought that Gabriel would need to work for a long time to earn enough money, but unexpectedly, only a few weeks had passed and Gabriel had raised enough for the "ransom".
Looking back now, the reason it was so fast was because Qin Chuan set Gabriel's salary a bit too high.
If you told the other maids in the house about Gabriel's part-time job wages, they'd probably be so angry they couldn't sleep.
But then again, all the money Gabriel earned would eventually come back to Qin Chuan, only to be exchanged for a horn that an ordinary person couldn't use, which was quite tragic.
Gabriel's hands were trembling as she held the banknotes; she was probably very reluctant to part with them—that money could be used to buy another set of super-powerful equipment in an online game!
"That's definitely enough."
Seeing Gabriel's reluctant expression, Qin Chuan smiled and reached out to take the money from her hand.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he conjured up the Doomsday Horn—actually, it was taken from the body of "Blackbird Requiem".
By imbuing the "Doomsday Horn" with its power, one can expel the Doomsday Horn intact from the body of the "Blackbird Requiem," something Qin Chuan has already tested.
"Here you are, your horn."
Qin Chuan is still pretending to be completely unaware of the Doomsday Horn's abilities—after all, if he acted as if he knew about its abilities, Vinette would probably be even more nervous.
Gabriel, with a displeased expression, took the Doomsday Horn from Qin Chuan's hand, then gritted her teeth as she stared at the horn in her hand:
"Damn it, I spent so much money and this is what I got in return..."
At this moment, she was filled with resentment. She didn't usually use the Doomsday Horn, so what was wrong with exchanging it for money?
We can't really let her sound the doomsday horn and then usher in the end of the world, can we? If the world ends, wouldn't her online game also be gone?
However, it's not entirely without good news.
"I've already bought this, so Winette shouldn't restrict my gaming anymore, right?"
Gabriel was as naive as her full name, thinking that as long as she got back the Doomsday Horn, Winette would stop bothering her about staying up all night playing games.
In response, Qin Chuan simply cast a sympathetic glance at Gabriel.
Vigne might loosen her restrictions on Gabriel a little, but no matter how you look at it, if Gabriel's actions exceed Vigne's tolerance limit, she will definitely continue to restrict Gabriel's schedule.
Maybe tomorrow I'll see Gabriel come running to me crying about Vignette's horrific acts.
"Now that you've bought the horn, will you still be coming to work for my family?"
Watching Gabriel carefully put the Doomsday Horn into the backpack she had brought, Qin Chuan smiled and continued to ask.
The main reason Gabriel came to Qin Chuan's house to work as a maid was that Qin Chuan paid her a high enough wage to quickly raise the money to redeem the horn.
Now that the horn has been redeemed and the goal has been achieved, Gabriel no longer needs to work as a maid.
"What? You're planning to abandon me?"
Upon hearing this, Gabriel showed a hint of displeasure on her face and asked Qin Chuan.
However, as soon as she said it, she seemed to realize that there was something wrong with her statement—it sounded a bit like an ex-girlfriend who had been dumped by her boyfriend.
So she quickly added, blushing:
"No, I mean, you're planning to fire me just because I redeemed the horn? I've been doing a pretty good job as a maid lately, haven't I?"
That's true. Gabriel has become increasingly adept at her maid duties lately, and she's even doing a better job than some of the original maids.
After all, Gabriel was once a top student in the Celestial Realm. Perhaps her recent work has reawakened her original abilities?
"It seems you're quite reluctant to give up this salary."
Qin Chuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw Gabriel's nervous expression.
He reached out and ruffled Gabriel's hair, saying...
"Since you want to come, you can come anytime—but remember to change into your maid outfit."
"Is this... like this?"
Gabrielle seemed a little embarrassed after Qin Chuan ruffled her hair like that.
Actually, when Qin Chuan said she was reluctant to give up her salary, Gabriel suddenly realized that she had been so nervous and wanted to keep the maid 4.8 job that she hadn't even considered the salary.
Indeed, Qin Chuan paid her a very generous salary. After redeeming the Doomsday Horn, she could use all her future earnings to spend money on in-game purchases to make her game character stronger.
If it were the old her, her first thought would definitely be money.
But her first reaction was, "I'll have fewer chances to see Qin Chuan in the future."
She's already used to coming to Qin Chuan's house every morning and after school. If she doesn't see Qin Chuan anymore, she feels she might not be able to adjust.
Thinking about it this way... hasn't Qin Chuan become almost like an online game in her mind?
If Qin Chuan knew that he held the same position in Gabriel's heart as the online game, he would probably be both amused and exasperated.
Chapter 508 Miura Yumiko Summons Her Courage
In the morning, Qin Chuan and Kato Megumi walked into the classroom together, and then they were met with the stares of the other students.
Although some people had already sensed that Qin Chuan and Kato Megumi's relationship might not be simple when they walked into the classroom together yesterday.
However, the fact that the two entered the classroom together again today basically confirmed the students' guesses, with many even suspecting that the two were already living together.
Of course, many people still have doubts about this suspicion—after all, high school students living together sounds like something that only happens in comics.
Although their suspicions were actually correct, Kato Megumi and Qin Chuan were indeed living together—although it wasn't just the two of them living together.
Qin Chuan's close relationship with Kato Megumi also brought Kato Megumi a lot of attention, although many people would subconsciously ignore her afterwards.
Kato Megumi was pleased with this situation, as it both asserted her sovereignty over Qin Chuan and prevented irrelevant people from asking her questions. She was very satisfied.
However, while she was satisfied, some people in the class were clearly getting restless.
"As expected, someone else beat us to it."
Hina Ebina, sitting in seat 16 at the front of the classroom, watched as Qin Chuan and Megumi Kato took their seats, adjusted her glasses, and spoke in a consultative tone.
"Miura, you don't have much time left. They're probably still far from a done deal... If you don't take action soon, things will really be beyond repair."
Hina Ebina had no idea that Qin Chuan and Kato Megumi's relationship was no longer just a pipe dream, but that everything that needed to be done had already been done.
After all, Hina Ebina didn't have any real dating experience. As a fujoshi (a female fan of male-male romance), she didn't even know much about romantic relationships with the opposite sex.
If it weren't for Miura Yumiko's constant agonizing over whether or not to strike up a conversation with Qin Chuan, she wouldn't have bothered with all this—as Miura Yumiko's friend, she was truly worried sick.
"Yeah...yeah, why don't we take the initiative?"
Yui Yuigahama, who was standing to the side, also took the initiative to encourage Yumiko Miura, which was quite rare for Yui Yuigahama, who usually only agrees with others.
Of course, it was mainly because Hina Ebina had encouraged Yumiko Miura first, so Yui Yuigahama was actually echoing Hina Ebina's words.
"Then... shall I give it a try?"
After listening to her two friends' words, Yumiko Miura, who had been struggling with her decision, showed a hint of interest on her face.
Despite her proud demeanor in front of others, which has even earned her the nickname "Queen" from some busybodies, she is actually quite timid when facing someone she likes.
This is completely different from most people's impression of her. Only her close friends know how timid this "queen" is when it comes to love.
However, this time the situation is different. Before, when girls from Shuchiin came to find Qin Chuan, Miura Yumiko could comfort herself by saying, "Students from other schools and Qin Chuan shouldn't be too close."
But now that her enemy is her classmate Megumi Kato, Miura Yumiko feels that she can no longer continue to deceive herself like this.
If this continues, Qin Chuan might really be snatched away by someone else!
"Okay, let me sort out my thoughts and invite Qin Chuan after class."
Finally, Yumiko Miura made up her mind and decided to accept the proposal from Hina Ebina and Yui Yuigahama.
However, while mustering her courage, she did not forget to ask her two friends for help.
"Um...you guys should come with me too, otherwise I'm still a little scared."
The main reason is that Yui Yuigahama had repeatedly invited Qin Chuan to join them on their mission, but Qin Chuan had refused each time, which made Yumiko Miura lack confidence in this regard.
……
Yumiko Miura kept her word. After the first class, she brought Yui Yuigahama and Hina Ebina to Qin Chuan's desk.
Qin Chuan had just put his phone away—he and Kato Megumi had been chatting on their phones during the first class, and as soon as he put his phone away, he sensed someone approaching.
Looking up, I realized they were three girls from the "real life" group.
The only one who has any connection with Qin Chuan is probably Yui Yuigahama, since she had invited him several times before.
As for Miura Yumiko and Ebina Hina, he had never really had any contact with them. His knowledge of these two people came almost entirely from the works he had read before he transmigrated.
However, judging from the trio's positioning this time, it was clear that Miura Yumiko was the one in charge, so he decided to listen to what this girl, with whom he had almost no prior contact, had to say:
"What's wrong, Miura? Is something the matter?"
Yumiko Miura had already prepared her speech in her mind, but Qin Chuan's three consecutive clicks made her blush and she couldn't say a word for a moment.
This reaction caught the attention of Kato Megumi, who was sitting in front of Qin Chuan. She looked at the blush on Miura Yumiko's face and seemed to understand something immediately.
"Qin, Qin Chuan... Are you free this weekend? We found a really good restaurant and would like to invite you to try it."
Finally, after a speechless facepalm from Hina Ebina, Yumiko Miura uttered those words that sounded like a primary school student inviting someone to a meeting.
It's not fair to blame Yumiko Miura for lacking language skills; after all, that's just her personality. She gets overly nervous when facing someone she likes and is afraid to express her feelings. (2)
However, Qin Chuan didn't pay attention to that. He looked at Miura Yumiko with some curiosity, then at Yuigahama Yui and Ebina Hina behind her.
He wasn't stupid; seeing Miura Yumiko's flushed face, he realized what was going on. (Lin)
Although I don't know why Miura Yumiko seems to have such a high initial level of affection for me, it doesn't seem like a bad thing. 4.
"Are you going with your group?" 310
While going out with girls wasn't inherently wrong, Qin Chuan, thinking of the popular guys in his class, still pressed for an answer. (Seven)
Yumiko Miura probably hadn't expected such a question, so she instinctively looked at Hina Ebina and Yui Yuigahama, hoping they could help her out.
Ebina's lips twitched—wasn't Qin Chuan's meaning clear enough? He obviously didn't want to hang out with those boys.
So Hina Ebina spoke up, preparing to tell Yumiko Miura, "Just the two of you can go together."
However, before she could speak, Yuigahama Yui beat her to it:
"The four of us can go together."
As soon as she finished speaking, Hina Ebina was stunned. She turned to look at Yui Yuigahama beside her, not expecting that she would take the initiative to offer a suggestion.
However, Yui Yuigahama's proposal was clearly not what Hina Ebina had anticipated.
In Ebina Hina's opinion, the best answer at this time would be to let Qin Chuan and Miura Yumiko travel together, giving them ample time to spend together.
However, Yui Yuigahama's words dragged all three of them into it.
"...It can't be what I'm thinking, can it?"
Looking at Yui Yuigahama's expression, Hina Ebina guessed a possibility that she was somewhat afraid to consider.
Perhaps it's not just Miura Yumiko who wants to go out with Qin Chuan...
Chapter 509 The Paranormal Research Department isn't something you can just come to whenever you want.
The promise made by Miura Yumiko and her group to Qin Chuan naturally caused quite a stir in the class.
However, perhaps because Qin Chuan had already established good relationships with several girls, this incident didn't seem particularly surprising to everyone.
Some people probably thought that Qin Chuan would take this opportunity to fully join the popular group in the class—that is, the group of Hayama Hayato and his friends.
Qin Chuan paid no attention to the class's discussion. After finishing his morning classes, he left the classroom with Kato Megumi.
