Chapter 131 : Chapter 131
Chapter : 131
Yan Yunqing subconsciously used the teleportation skill. The one-minute channeling time was too long.
Yan Yunqing held his breath. If it weren't for the fact that cats' sweat glands aren't well-developed, he would probably be drenched in cold sweat right now.
However, he was only frightened for a few seconds before quickly coming to his senses. In terms of level, he was even higher than this 'Demetrius'. What was there for him to be afraid of?
Yan Yunqing ground his teeth, counting down the teleportation timer, while also watching to see what this 'Demetrius' really wanted to do.
However, 'Demetrius' made no move at all. Right up to the moment Yan Yunqing was teleported away, he didn't rush forward to do anything to him.
He successfully landed at the portable anchor point he had installed in Buma City.
Yan Yunqing: ......
Yan Yunqing took a moment to relax his tense mind and suddenly thought of something.
Wait, did that guy really see him?
It couldn't be another probing action, could it?! No? You're a real method actor, huh? Performing with an imaginary object?
Yan Yunqing's mouth twitched, and he gained a deeper understanding of the 'Demetrius' who shared his roommate's name.
He's a guy who likes to act up whenever and wherever.
If it's really confirmed to be his roommate, then it's truly acting up whenever and wherever.
Yan Yunqing canceled the [Roleplay], reverting to his original appearance, and stroked his chin. Hmm... why not go back and test him?
No sooner said than done!
Yan Yunqing checked himself over, making sure there was nothing on him that would expose that he had just been tailing Demetrius, and headed directly for the academy.
He was currently in the city, while that 'Demetrius' was outside the city. If Yan Yunqing rushed back at full speed now, it would be impossible for 'Demetrius' to return to the dormitory faster than him.
If it was confirmed that Demetrius wasn't in the dormitory, then he could basically consider the two to be the same person.
Yan Yunqing quickened his pace. Relying on his sufficient points, he didn't wait for other students in temporary teams to use the teleportation formation together and teleported into the academy by himself.
In order to get back to the dormitory faster, Yan Yunqing simply took the Xiao Bai with the wildest personality.
Before his butt had even settled in the seat, Xiao Bai had already shot off. A very distinct feeling of being pushed back into his seat came from behind him.
Yan Yunqing subconsciously grabbed the handle above his head, and the next second, his entire body bounced up.
"Dong——"
Yan Yunqing held his head.
"Bam!"
His body, no longer secured, tilted forward, and he went splat, his face having a close encounter with the seat in front.
Yan Yunqing: ......
He felt that he should give Teacher Mavis, the creator of Xiao Bai, a suggestion. It was an interesting thing for different Xiao Bais to have their own personalities, but this one was a bit too individualistic.
If all else fails, they should add seat belts to the car. At this rate, won't the passengers fly out?
Oh right, he seemed to have heard before that a senior had been thrown out of a Xiao Bai and had stayed in the hospital for a long time?
Thinking of this, Yan Yunqing immediately gripped the handle tightly to avoid flying out like that senior.
The external training was about to start, and he hadn't even completed the stunning debut mission yet! He couldn't get injured!
After a lightning-fast journey, the Xiao Bai stopped in the small villa area. Yan Yunqing got off the Xiao Bai dizzily, his steps unsteady.
Yan Yunqing leaned on a bench by the road and dry-heaved a couple of times, his face completely blank.
Robin passed by, shocked: "Little Captain, what's wrong with you?"
Yan Yunqing was dizzy and slow to react, "Huh?"
He staggered, and Robin quickly supported him. Seeing Yan Yunqing clutching his stomach and dry-heaving, he shuddered and blurted out: "Whose is it?"
Yan Yunqing: ?
After realizing what he had said, Robin chuckled awkwardly and tried to cover for himself: "Ahaha, I mean, are the father and son safe and sound?"
Yan Yunqing: ......
Yan Yunqing swatted Robin away with the back of his hand, speechless and choked up: "Be serious."
Robin was great in every way, except his personality was too flighty, and his train of thought was quite bizarre.
Even his sister, Rowena, who came from the same village, couldn't figure out what Robin was thinking sometimes.
Robin chuckled, took out a piece of sour jujube cake from somewhere, and stuffed it into Yan Yunqing's hand.
"I was just kidding. I just saw you get off Xiao Bai No. 4, Little Captain. Eat something sour to settle it, it's not good for your body to throw up."
Yan Yunqing saw that this sour jujube cake was sold by a restaurant on the south side of the academy.
It tasted great and was very popular among the students, but it was limited daily, and if you went late, it would be gone.
Given Yan Yunqing's busy daily schedule, he had only eaten it twice this past month. One of those times was brought to him by Quinn.
That guy, perhaps influenced by the debuff, was being especially attentive towards him.
Yan Yunqing stuffed the sour jujube cake into his mouth and took a bite. The sweet, sour, and soft taste instantly filled his entire mouth.
Seeing Yan Yunqing take the first bite, Robin's smile grew even brighter. He held out his hand: "That'll be 1 point, thank you."
Yan Yunqing: ......
Yan Yunqing choked and almost coughed.
Yan Yunqing speechlessly transferred a hundred points to Robin, "You profiteer, you're charging points for a piece of sour jujube cake?"
Robin suddenly received a huge sum and was very pleased: "It still has to be the Little Captain. The last time I did this with William, he just told me to get lost."
Yan Yunqing rolled his eyes and transferred him another three thousand points. Anyway, he had more points than he could spend.
"Take these to buy supplies. I remember the cost price of some potions is quite expensive?"
Some magic potions and materials could be ordered from the academy. Some students from less wealthy families would work part-time to make some potions to sell to the academy.
The academy would also arrange for some teachers to make some high-level magic potions and alchemy items to sell every month, all of which could only be purchased with points.
The business Robin ran was to bypass the academy's platform, directly contacting those students and teachers who were selling things, and helping them sell their items, charging only 5% of the academy platform's handling fee.
It could be said that Robin was a business genius. His business was flourishing at Sigret Academy.
Yan Yunqing really suspected that the reason he hadn't been promoted to the second year for several years wasn't because his magic talent was not outstanding enough, but simply because he had wasted all his time figuring out how to do business in Sigret.
This time, the logistical supplies Robin had arranged for Team A were also through his own connections, and he had not yet asked Yan Yunqing for funds, looking as if he was going to bear the cost himself.
After all, when Robin first joined the team, he had done so under the identity of being able to handle logistics for the team.
Robin received another huge transfer and froze for a moment, his eyes shining as he looked at Yan Yunqing.
"Little Captain——I'm willing to use a sex-change potion for you every day!"
The huge amount of points blinded Robin's eyes. He looked at Yan Yunqing with deep affection. In his eyes, the handsome and dashing Little Captain seemed to have turned into a huge, glittering point.
Yan Yunqing did a tactical lean back, using one hand to stop Robin's approaching head, rejecting Little bird Robin's attempt to get close.
"Politely declined, ha. Compared to a sex-change potion, I might prefer it if you used a transformation potion to turn into a little bird."
After all, Little bird Robin should be a little bird!
Little bird Robin paused, then had an epiphany: "So, Little Captain, you're into that!"
Yan Yunqing: ......?
Where did this guy's thoughts go?
After chatting nonsense with Robin for a while, Yan Yunqing no longer felt dizzy.
He finished the sour jujube cake in a few bites, dusted the crumbs off his hands, and waved at Robin, "I'm heading back."
Robin bowed respectfully to the rich master and even took out a handkerchief to wave. "Take care, Little Captain! Come again, Little Captain!"
Yan Yunqing's mouth twitched. Noticing the gazes from the people around, he couldn't help but cover his face.
So embarrassing...
Yan Yunqing quickened his pace, almost running by the end to get out of Robin's sight.
Little bird Robin blinked, the corners of his mouth turning up.
Aiya, the Little Captain is so cute.
***
Yan Yunqing sprinted back to the dormitory at the fastest speed of his life, used his own key to open the door, and quickly darted inside, so fast it was as if a ghost was chasing him from behind!
Yan Yunqing took a few rough breaths. As he looked up, he saw Demetrius walking out of the first-floor bathroom, steam rising from his body. He was using a towel hung around his neck to dry his dripping hair with one hand.
Hmm?
"Is the bathroom in your room broken again?" Yan Yunqing blurted out.
Demetrius's hand that was drying his hair paused, and he silently nodded. "Yes, it's broken."
Demetrius's temperament had changed back. He was still that quiet and reserved, seemingly a bit gloomy and damp but mild-tempered, good roommate.
Yan Yunqing's gaze swept over his wet hair, and he asked without leaving a trace: "Did you just finish training?"
After being roommates with Demetrius for a month, Yan Yunqing had figured out some of his habits.
Demetrius was different from ordinary mages; he would often do some body tempering training, though not very frequently.
Every time after using the underground training room, he would take a shower and then come out with a dripping wet head to drink iced goat's milk.
Sure enough, Demetrius walked towards the drink counter. Hearing Yan Yunqing's question, he nodded again, took out a can of goat's milk, and when his fingertips touched the surface of the can, Yan Yunqing felt a fluctuation of mana, and a layer of frost immediately covered the can's surface.
He opened the can of goat's milk, tilted his head back, and took a gulp, his eyes immediately squinting.
Even though there were no excessive movements and no difference in his overall temperament, Yan Yunqing could still see a sense of satisfaction on his face.
Completely different from the 'Demetrius' he had met in Buma City!
Yan Yunqing hesitated: Could this really be the same person? It couldn't be that they just have the same name, right? Or did his cheat have a bug...?
"Did you go out today?" Yan Yunqing pretended to ask casually again.
"I went to Buma City today and seemed to see someone with a back that looked a lot like yours, but when I chased after him, the person was already gone. I was thinking that if it was you, we could go pick out some supplies for the external training together."
Faced with Yan Yunqing's probing, Demetrius was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "It wasn't."
After thinking for a moment, he added another sentence: "I've been training the whole time."
He pointed in the direction of the underground training room. Yan Yunqing also felt that there was no need for Demetrius to lie to him.
After all, the image he had when he encountered 'Demetrius' today was either Joker or the little black cat.
So the 'Demetrius' he met in Buma City was really just a coincidence?
Hmm... perhaps Demetrius is a very common name in this world?
Yan Yunqing didn't see the dark glint that flashed in Demetrius's eyes as he lowered his head again.
