Chapter 165: Explosions are Art!

It was five minutes past eight, and Gu Qianqian had just finished her last job for the day of unloading the dishes.

Uncle Zhao, let me help with the vegetables! she smiled. Remember to hand me this months wages tomorrow!

Uncle Zhao Wu was in charge of unloading the items; he was bald and of average height, stepping on a pair of cheap, plastic slippers.

He looked a bit sloppy, but his eyes were extraordinarily energetic, like a hardworking mouse.

This months wages? D-do you think I pay too little? Listen-

School canteens are tricky.

Although Huachengs cafeteria wasnt unpopular, they needed to cut corners to save costs, which is why they could only unload their deliveries at night.

However, ever since the nights became long, it has always been difficult to hire workers at night, and here comes Gu Qianqian!

Gu Qianqians salary was three times that of ordinary part-time workers, but she could easily do the job of five to eight people with her strength!

Hence, Uncle Zhao panicked upon hearing her request. Where would he find a worker who is willing to work at night and be underpaid?

Oh, I have done many part-time jobs, and you pay me the most, but Im going on a long trip the day after tomorrow, so I dont know when Ill be home! Ill definitely come back here, though, she promised, patting her chest.

Hearing what Gu Qianqian said, he heaved a sigh of relief and said, Good, good, Ill keep your job for you. By the way, I reserved the biggest portion of chicken rice for you today.

Really? Thanks a lot! She beamed and left happily.

Walking through the empty campus, her system waited until it was completely quiet before whispering in her ear, Youre that happy over a meal? Dont you feel that it is out of character for a protagonist?

Youre right. Next time, Ill have him make me a feast! Fit for a heroine like me!

Tsk, eat your meal. We still have to look for the bamboo scrolls. Never mind, I cant feel it on campus anymore, but that cant be

By the way, I have something to ask, Gu Qianqian murmured, furrowing her brows. Where did those two people come from? They just barged into campus and started beating that poor headless ghost. Weve been looking for her for so long, and I feel that someone stole our victory!

While talking, Gu Qianqian found a bench by the side of the road, sat down, unwrapped her bento, and smiled as she looked at the fat portion of chicken inside.

Theyre from the Eclipse Society

Are they better than the student council? Gu Qianqian munched.

After all, it takes a lot of energy to transform a body embedded with runes, but it will get better when it is fully developed in the future, right? Well, probably.

By the way, system

What is it?

I can sense the bamboo scrolls, she said, pointing towards a lantern-shaped mark on her arm. Under her skin, a faint scarlet light could be seen, which is proof that the bamboo scrolls are within one kilometre.

Strange, why did it come back all of a sudden? The system murmured to itself in a low voice and pondered for a few seconds: Gu Qianqian, follow me.

System, arent you going to issue a mission? Gu Qianqian asked.

Nonsense. I have no missions for you; plus, youre going to waste it all on cash to buy useless items, like shoes for the dance! I know who you are! I could simply enchant the cheapest shoes for you, and yet

Gu Qianqian felt a little wrong. She pursed her lips and said, But I still want

No, you dont!

Listen to me! I want to use the points to buy glass slippers!

And Cinderella wore fake shoes the day she met the prince, correct? The system improvised. It transformed into a pair of glass slippers.

I guess youre right.

Meanwhile, on the path of Gate No. 4.

Agh

After burying the last of her charms to make a trap, Lu Yibei breathed a sigh of relief.

Half an hour ago, she realised there was no way to take the headless girl to safety, so she thought of setting up defensive traps to protect her.

She learnt these traps to target the old man with the colourful shawl, so she didnt know if they would work well in the current situation.

Its better to tryeven better if it works.

As long as an urban legend touches the mechanism, they will be knocked down by the statue and then be showered with more than 70 charms.

And it will be a glorious, beautiful explosion.
