【Day 3, study.】

【Your academic ability has increased slightly.】

Every night during evening study, you'd hear your phone ringing. Morgan would text you every night, asking about your life or sending you selfies.

[Today I'm posting a selfie of her in a swimsuit and bikini by the pool.]

Aunt Morgan, please stop sending me these hot photos! They're making me unable to sleep!

[You don't have any chance to meet Bawanshi at school. She's from a noble family, arrogant, and surrounded by many followers. It takes some kind of opportunity to get in touch with her...]

You heard she's going to a social event in two weeks. Perhaps there's a chance for you to deepen your relationship with Bawanshi.

However, this social gathering was held in a high-end hotel. The entrance fee and drinks were very expensive. Tickets required connections, and formal attire was required. The total cost was 3000 QP.

【Equivalent to your living expenses for three months.】

"I only have 1000 QP, okay? You want me to go without food and water for three months?"

If you want to pick up girls, you have to pay for it. This is too realistic!

Does this mean that as a student I have to work part-time?

Damn it, I was a wage earner before I traveled through time, and I’m still a wage earner after I traveled through time, so my travel through time was all in vain!

[Your choice is...]

1. Don’t make plans, seek other encounters and possibilities

[2. Part-time job off-campus]

[3. Put on the mask, play a big game, gather people with lofty ideals, and rob the King's Treasure House of Jinshanshan (requires both strength and speed)]

[4. Aunt Morgan! I have something I want. Can I borrow some money from you?]

"Third and fourth are such incredible options... but honestly, I'm actually quite tempted by them. But I feel like once I take this step, there's no turning back in every sense..."

Chapter 4: Babbage

After much deliberation, I finally decided to go out to work.

As expected, even if I traveled through time, I could hardly escape the fate of working.

He couldn't help but sigh.

[You choose to work part-time for the sake of socializing.]

[As long as it does not affect your academic progress, Chaldea Academy allows part-time work after school.]

You explain your situation to your roommates and ask if they can find you a job.

You then learned from Gawain that their friends, Lancelot and Bedivere, had worked part-time in the workshop of an electronics factory during the summer vacation, astonishing everyone with their superb welding skills. While the work was intense, the money came quickly, easily earning 3000 QP in just a few days.

[But they totally didn't recommend this job because it was Edison's sweatshop, the workshop safety was not perfect, and the employees were not trained on how to operate in a standardized manner, with only minimal safety measures.]

This isn't a problem for you. You're lucky, so it's unlikely anything will go wrong. And if something does go wrong, you can just start over.

You successfully applied for the job and reported to the workshop after school that day.

As the text describes, Yinggu has arrived at Edison's black-hearted factory.

"I didn't expect to meet my students here."

The British grade mathematics teacher, a robot made entirely of steel, the father of computers and the steam king, Charles Babbage, spoke as he spewed out boiling steam.

So hot!

Feeling the steam gushing out from the other party, Yinggu was sweating profusely in a short while.

"Teacher Babbage, why are you here too... Are you also an employee here?" He wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"No, this is my first time here." Babbage's voice was filled with an electric noise. "Edison's factory is prone to accidents, which seriously affects production order and reduces efficiency. That's why he specially hired me as a consultant today to find safety loopholes in the workshop. Hiss..."

After that, there was another sharp steam sound.

"Mochizuki Yinggu, I advise you to find another job. This production workshop is full of safety hazards. To put it bluntly, you could die."

Teacher Babbage advised earnestly.

"It's okay." Ying Gu said calmly.

"What made you take such a risk?"

"To sum it up... it's... money and women."

"I don't mind your simplistic language, but I warned you that even someone with a body of steel would be terrified here. These lathes are so powerful they could easily crush my body. And there's no automatic safety feature, only an emergency stop."

Babbage turned his massive steel body around, turned his back and walked towards the lathe.

"Rest here for a while. Don't move around or fiddle with switches. I need to check the lathe next. If you start it without permission, I'll get sucked in too."

"Can't you just cut off the power first?"

"No, I was checking the efficiency of these lathes."

Babbage meticulously goes to inspect the lathe. You wait there. Just then, you see two familiar figures approaching.

[Tristan, with long bright red hair and a frown that reveals sadness.]

[And there's Gawain, a handsome blond man with a strong build and a bright smile.]

They are wearing workshop uniforms and walking straight towards you.

After inquiring about the situation, you learn that they're worried about your safety. The Knights of the Round Table can't just let their friend enter a dangerous factory. Since they can't dissuade you, they'll join in, so they can at least look out for each other.

"It's too awkward for you to come here alone," Gao Wen said with a bright smile. "Lord Yinggu, working in the workshop is very physically demanding. You should call me for this kind of thing. I exercise every day, so heavy work is nothing to me."

"If you are injured, I can help you heal," Tristan said. "I can even play the piano for you to entertain you."

"What's the point of playing the piano, Sir Tristan? You come to the workshop to work. Do you think your job is to be a resident singer?" Yinggu couldn't help but complain, and then he smiled.

"But I'm still very grateful for your company, my two friends. Thank you very much."

"For friends, small things are not worth mentioning." The two Knights of the Round Table responded warmly.

"So……"

Ying Gu touched his chin and asked, "What are your true feelings?"

“We also want to make money to participate in the social!”

The two said in unison.

"it is as expected."

Yinggu smiled and thought, forget it, the boring workshop work would be quite lively if there were two lively people around.

At this time, the deduction text suddenly popped up.

You and two Knights of the Round Table were hired to work in a dangerous workshop, and just then...

[Pass a Luck check.]

Luck check?

The random elements of the story appear again. What will happen if it fails at this time? Will there be a safety accident in the workshop?

It should...it should be okay.

"My luck is A. It's actually more difficult to fail."

[No, the one who needs to pass the Luck check is Tristan next to you.]

【His luck is E. 】

"what?!"

Yinggu's eyes widened.

The dice fell and then froze.

[The lucky number I got this time was EX, a big failure. ]

by, why is it another big failure!

It's okay to just use Lucky E, but he also made a big failure that ignored the attribute! Isn't it shameful, Tristan!

A major failure in such a dangerous workshop could actually cost lives!

"I'm not joining the social out of frivolous desires, but because I recently wrote a piece of elegant and artistic music, and I want to dedicate it to those ladies with artistic cultivation on this precious occasion... Pfft!"

Tristan, who was a little embarrassed, was still trying to find excuses for the social gathering. He lost his balance and fell, falling straight forward.

boom!

"Tristan, are you okay?" Yinggu's heart suddenly tightened and he rushed forward.

Tristan stood up as if nothing had happened. Because he was holding on to the workbench, he did not fall completely, but only hit his knee.

"It's okay. Compared to the blows from Mordred's sword and Sir Bedivere's iron fist, these injuries to my body are nothing. It's just that I fell so unbelievably, and my dignity is a little hurt."

Ying Gu breathed a sigh of relief: "Your dignity doesn't matter at all, as long as your body is fine."

Normally, a big failure in such a situation would result in serious injuries, but Tristan seemed lucky enough to have escaped this disaster.

"You're lucky, kid. You know, here..."

Before Yinggu could complain, a strange noise suddenly came from Babbage's side.

At first, Mr. Babbage didn't notice what was happening on their side. He was only checking the lathe in front of him, while the lathe behind him started up without any warning.

Because the mecha was too large, his body inevitably hit the lathe behind him, so the next second, he was sucked into the lathe.

"Mr. Babbage!"

"He's going to be dragged into this! Damn it, why is this happening..."

The three of them suddenly thought of something and looked at Tristan's hand on the workbench.

When he fell just now, Tristan's hand pressed the button of the lathe!

Oops, guessed the wrong protagonist!

"Mr. Babbage!"

Chapter 5: Plastic Surgery

Crunch, crunch!

Babbage was caught in the lathe, and his body was making a terrible noise.

The teacher is about to be crushed by the lathe!

Even though robots don't feel pain, this sound is still too scary.

Yinggu felt the hairs on his body stand up when he heard this.

Gawain rushed forward without hesitation, trying to pull Professor Babbage out with his powerful arm strength.

After a while, he realized that this was wrong and shouted, "Yinggu, find the emergency stop switch!"

Emergency stop!

Yinggu suddenly woke up as if from a dream, but when he looked at the row of densely packed buttons on the workbench, he was completely confused.

But when he saw the pile of buttons on the workbench, he was completely stunned.

Which one is the emergency stop switch?

"I'm going to activate my skills! Don't be afraid, Mr. Babbage, I'm here to save you!"

The dice fall.

[You activated the skill, "Intuition C"]
