Chapter 38: Definitely a Scheme
Some people say they're going out to explore, but they may never return.
As time went by, the number of followers wandering around the campus decreased significantly, and there were none near the attic.
After saying goodbye to Genny, Rabbi ran into Qian Jin on her way to the attic.
“Rui Busi, you’ve come at just the right time.”
Where did she come from? It's perfect timing.
Looking around, I was certain that this was just an ordinary path.
Rui Bu Si pointed to herself in confusion.
Qian Jin nodded affirmatively.
Three minutes later, Ruibosi walked contentedly toward the Potions classroom.
—Professor Qian Jin asked her to move the teaching props that had been left in the Potions classroom to the office.
—Teacher Qian Jin asked him four times.
—Teacher Qian Jin sincerely thanked her four times.
I vaguely realized that I seemed to have found some incredible way to complete the task.
"But something's a little strange."
Standing in front of the Potions classroom, she was somewhat puzzled:
"How come even Qian Jin recognizes me and can correctly call me by my name?"
She doesn't seem to have done anything particularly special, does she?
Completely baffled, I shook my head and put the question out of my mind.
At this moment, she had completely forgotten that somewhere in the attic, a lightly dressed Wisdom Star was waiting for her.
There weren't too many things. Carrying them into the office, all I could hear was Mr. Qian Jin's slightly hearty laughter echoing throughout the office. Apart from that, all the other teachers had their heads down, looking like they were working diligently.
She placed what she was holding on the table.
Okay, now it's time to go around the school and see if there are any other students who need help.
"My dear student, Miya Xing." The step he was about to take was halted by this voice.
I think I just heard a familiar name.
She remembered something that made her feel guilty.
Turning around, Qian Jin took a sip of water at his desk, and his continuous, exaggerated laughter finally stopped. However, his face, which was flushed from laughing, still showed his good mood.
"You've come at the right time; I just had something to tell you."
“Teacher Qian Jin, I am not Mi Yaxing.”
Miya Star might still be in the attic.
“Oh, I know,” Qian Jin waved his hand dismissively, “that’s not important.”
No, she felt it might be somewhat important.
This Zhizhixing is somewhat vengeful.
However, judging from Mr. Qian Jin's enthusiastic appearance, it was clear that he would not let her leave now.
"Hey, System, Mya Star must have left the attic by now, right?"
Recently, the system has been behaving much less nonsense. Apart from necessary task completion reminders, Ruibusi hasn't heard it make a sound anymore.
They're so accommodating.
Something is wrong!
Based on her past experience working for the Dark Emperor, she vaguely felt that a lot of her merits had been secretly pocketed by the system.
【three hundred】
The feeling that much of this merit done in secret had been kept secret grew stronger.
"Row."
Items that cannot be exchanged for gold coins are not very useful except for maintaining vital signs.
[Miya Star's whereabouts are being tracked]
Search results: Miya Star is currently in the attic of Meng Academy.
I wonder if Qian Jin will deduct her participation points for suddenly turning around and leaving.
Just as I was struggling with this, the system's voice unexpectedly rang in my mind again.
[System Reminder: The host's merit balance is less than 200. If the balance cannot reach 250 before midnight today (Moe Academy time), the host will face life-threatening danger.]
?
? ?
Suddenly I feel like there's something wrong with my ears... my brain.
"I strike the wooden fish for a long time every day!"
Even if the system is greedy, it shouldn't be left with so little!
Striking the wooden fish can accumulate merit, with a maximum of 300 merits per hour.
?
“You didn’t mention this rule before.”
You didn't ask
So what about all those extra strikes she makes every day, leaving afterimages?
You're stupid.
There are no merit rewards for doing good deeds in daily tasks, which means that all her merits come from the three hundred times she strikes the wooden fish every day.
Of the three hundred, two hundred and fifty were used to sustain life.
So why are there no other sources?
Due to some of her "bad habits," she clearly prefers watching others make a scene and secretly putting them down behind their backs rather than encouraging or praising them.
I've been detained a lot for this.
Damn it, they almost drained her balance before telling her about this rule.
Scheming! Utterly scheming!
"How much is left in the balance?"
Alright, before the day ends, she's going to unleash all her eloquence and go on a blatant spiel.
How many people would we have to praise to make up this idiot? She's better at kicking someone when they're down and making sarcastic remarks.
[Checking your balance requires 100]
……
There were originally two people in a good mood in this office.
Now there's only one left.
The remaining person is not her.
Qian Jin, his smile undiminished, acted mysteriously, as if he were whispering, but his voice was anything but quiet:
"I heard that your monster studies teacher is actually bald, hahaha!"
The space was filled with cheerful laughter once again as he took off his hat—
Today, a classmate wanted the "Lifelong Love Perfume" he created and specially gave it to him.
He placed his favorite hat beside him and then, with a clear intention, touched his head:
"Oh my, I never expected this. So he's just like me."
The office door opened at that moment, and the laughter subsided at an unnatural pace until it disappeared.
It goes without saying who came in.
Qian Jin scratched his head, put the hat back on, and his expression changed from cheerful to puzzled:
"Huh? What was I just doing... Oh dear, people get forgetful as they get older."
The office was completely silent. After a few seconds of stillness, footsteps slowly approached Qian Jin's desk from the doorway.
The sound of the chair being pulled out broke the silence, yet added another layer of tranquility to it.
Victoria put down her pen, which she hadn't touched for a long time, hesitated, and finally picked it up again.
At this moment, Qian Jin finally straightened his hat, raised his head, and frowned:
"Hey! Why are you standing here?"
Anger tinged with sadness, tension revealing confusion, Rui Bu Si raised her head, her face etched with the weariness of being tricked.
"You seem to be troubled by something that's hard to resolve. Do you want the teacher to help you think of a solution?"
What she wants to solve most right now is the system.
"Teacher, I've come to deliver these magic potions."
"Oh, I see." Qian Jin seemed thoughtful, then suddenly slammed his hand on the table. "Wow, this student has really done me a huge favor. Thank you so much, classmate, um..."
The office door slammed shut, and the three men who barged in interrupted him.
"Teacher Qian Jin!"
