Chapter 44: A New Crisis

Brunei completely got rid of the embarrassing situation caused by sitting on the mountain for a long time after entering the college city, and suddenly transformed from the extremely poor bottom of the masses into a rich class with a theoretical net worth of more than 100,000. Just a few hours ago, he thought that 500 standard units was enough to make his life extremely happy, and now, those 500 standard units are as light as a feather.

After revealing Fernando's family crest to the counter lady before, a bright smile suddenly appeared on her face that made Brunei realize that she had been a fake smile, and she filled up the capacity of the magic emblem to Brunei with a flattering face. She did not raise the question of deducting the money from her debts, and she did not even show any intention of keeping accounts.

There is a function of systematically digitizing everything, and Brunei doesn't need to calculate to know that what the other party gives himself lightly is 70 standard units of spiritual power. At first, Brunei didn't react at all, and it wasn't until he was pulled out of the door by Scarry and walked a long way that he suddenly remembered - that was 70 standard units!

He actually began to have no feeling for the income of 70 standard units, and when he realized this, Brunei suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, but he couldn't explain it clearly, and he didn't have any concept in his heart at all. However, he only struggled for a moment, and then grinned: "...... Is it supposed to be at this time, what's that called?

[Hehe, you look familiar with everything now.] I thought it would be nice to have a SAN check here, but no. You can avoid thinking carefully about your inner thoughts just now, so your feelings are at best mood swings, not enough to shake your three views, and naturally there is no SAN check. 】

[However, little Bruneith, as your system, I still need to warn you that it may be true that you can maintain the SAN value without thinking, but this is not a good thing for you. Thinking about why something happens, how it will work, and under what circumstances it might end is all meaningful and helpful to you. 】

"Huh. Brunei let out a sneer of contempt and disdain, but fortunately he had put on his mask again, and his voice was soft enough to be completely buried by the mask, and Scarly, who was walking in front, did not hear him at all.

[Oh, little Brunei, it's rare that I sincerely say to you that there is no selfishness at all, and it is completely just for your good, and you don't appreciate it. Hey, hey, hey. 】

"Rare? Then you really have the face to say it. Brunei pursed his lips disdainfully and ended the conversation.

Back outside the city gate, Munch was already standing there with a full face, as if he had been waiting for a long time, and I don't know what method he used, and Brunei had just reached the previous little gate, and before they could stand on their feet, the guard, that is, Munch's "brother", opened the door and respectfully welcomed the two in.

This so-called "exciting thing" is over. Scarly seemed quite satisfied, and contented, and never again raised any more ideas that warranted concern for her safety. There was no one in Scarly's house now, so she asked Brunei to pick a room for herself and simply live in it.

Scarly didn't say it explicitly, but she clearly didn't like to live too restricted. Considering Scarly's exaggerated performance after Ford's departure, and the actual employment relationship between himself and Scarly, Brunei decided not to be bored. As long as Scarly doesn't ask for it, he won't follow along like any other guard.

Of course, although Brunei no longer desires the future 500 standard unit now, and doesn't even pay much attention to it, the matter of temporary guard, as a job that he has accepted, has no intention of quitting because of this - not to mention, before the Ford butler leaves, about Scarly's safety, he is not tempted and threatened by wages......

In short, with the help of the "stealth" provided by the system, Brunei secretly followed Scali for two days while he was out and about during the day. It turned out that most of the time she went to a few fixed places, a few female friends' residences - there were no luxurious mansions like Scarly's, and their homes were not bad compared to William's, and then there was to go to meet someone she had called "teacher" alone, as if she never had the intention of leaving the city again.

The New Year is approaching, and the Academy City is getting emptier and empty, but as a city, the function of maintaining normal operation and ensuring law and order is still retained. Like Scarly's friends, they are still in College City, and they are all equipped with maid guards around them, and it seems that Scarly's family is the only one who goes back to keep her. The schools that Brunei once attended have also been temporarily closed, but it seems that Scarly's identity can completely ignore these environmental issues.

The number of guards inside the academy city seems to have decreased, but it is not obvious, and it is said that it is not these guards who are really responsible for surrounding the security of the entire academy city and maintaining order in the academy city, but several high-ranking and incomparably powerful mages including the city lord. At best, these guards are tentacles for spotting the situation, responsible for delaying time and ventilating the message.

So, as long as Scarly doesn't leave the city, Brunei really doesn't think she can be in any danger. In other words, if Scarly encounters something unexpected in the city, it is probably not a problem that Brunei can solve. After confirming that Scali had no intention of leaving the city, Brunei simply did not follow.

Brunei himself, after finding that the work was more leisurely than expected, and that the classes that William had arranged for him were no longer there, would go out of town from time to time to go out for a walk. In view of his unusually generous gestures now, and the "background" of Scarly behind him, he quickly became acquainted with the Munch brothers, and within two days he became brothers.

After daybreak, Scarly and Brunei went out together, and then went their separate ways, and then Scari would go home before dark, and Brunei would sometimes come early and sometimes evening, and when he came back, he would bring tea and water to Scarly, and listen to her arrangements to do a little entertainment, and he, a temporary guard, would do this work all day long, and the scope of work was closer to that of the servant. But Brunei is also happy to be idle.

After about two weeks, Brunei had a whimsical idea and returned to the Chase dormitory, where he had stayed for nine months. Maybe it was because he was more accurate in time, but he happened to meet the strange young Don he picked up when he was fleeing the empire at the door, and Jamie, a former colleague who was in his thirties this year and still didn't have the magic emblem, so he had to eat and wait for death.

"Yo, crooked mouth, it's been a day. Jamie smiled affectionately when he saw Brunei, "Your class hasn't gone yet." During this time, I have been the one who has contracted your work, and if this continues, I will help you receive all the wages, right?"

Don nodded quietly at Brunei under Jamie's arm, "Long time no see." ”

"Well, long time no see. Brunei nodded back at Don and smiled at Jamie and said, "That's fine." Work hard and you can double your salary. Hey, Jamie, didn't you find a way to work hard all at once? ”

"Well, I don't have anything to pursue now. I earn 20 standard units a month, plus the income from being a 'protozoa', which is enough for my expenses. If I continue to work this double job, I must be exhausted. Jamie waved his hand, glanced at Brunei again, and suddenly smiled, "Okay." The job I said before seems to have stabilized? Isn't this job uncommon? Alas, I just found out, Don, look at it, the mask of the crooked little brother has been replaced with a new one. ”

Tang Wei smiled: "It turned out to be a black cloth, but now it's red." ”

"yes, yes!" Jamie didn't seem to hear the meaning of "you actually saw it" in the Tang dialect at all, nodded violently as if he had received support, and then circled around Brunei three times, "Crooked mouth, okay, okay, take a closer look, your clothes are also new, ......right?"

Brunei raised his eyebrows: "What do you say, do you have an opinion?"

"Yes, your clothes, although the fabric is a little better, the style and color are still too plain. I've always thought, don't you kid have no aesthetic eye at all?" Jamie looked at Brunei with disdain for a while, and then laughed together, "Okay, don't talk about these things." Seriously, it's really not good for you to leave your life behind without saying a word. I can do more work, Aunt Susan has been talking to me for the past two days about whether something has happened to you. ”

"Oops, this...... I'll go back and talk to Aunt Susan. Brunei scratched his head a little awkwardly and smiled, changing the subject, "Well, what were you going to do?"

"Eat. Jamie waved his hand aggressively, "Don has been working in a restaurant all this time, and I've been a little more on hand lately, so I can't go and cheer him on." Would you like to come along?"

"Oooh. When you mentioned that, I suddenly remembered, did I promise to invite you to a meal before?" Brunei scratched his head, "Then I'll invite you to this meal." Now I'm generous, and I can eat whatever I want. ”

Jamie showed a sly smile and pointed at Brunei with his finger: "Hehe, isn't it a trick? Why do you think I'm here to talk to you for so long, aren't I just waiting for your words!"

[Oh, this kid is really scheming, isn't it, little Bruneith?]

"Shut up for me. Brunei replied inwardly, smiled, and went on the road with Jamie.

Jamie was really honest and unkind when ordering, but the restaurant where Tang worked was not too luxurious, even if it was a dead point, it was only a few dozen standard units at best, and in the end, Jamie's eyes widened, and Brunei still looked indifferent. As a result, Jamie coughed twice in embarrassment, removing most of the dish.

At Jamie's insistence, they asked for a few bottles of wine. Tang did not express his opinion, almost all the time silent, others poured wine and drank, did not pour but did not take the initiative to ask; Brunei had never drunk a few times at all, the last time was on the birthday of the empire, I don't remember how I felt when I drank, but I still remember the feeling of having a headache when I got up the next morning, this time intermittently, a total of two glasses.

It was only Jamie, who was eating and drinking and chatting, and after a while, his face became red, his voice changed, his demeanor changed, and he talked to Brunei, at first he said what they had when they worked together, and then he began to lose his bounds, so that Brunei began to feel that he didn't know what he was talking about, so he agreed vaguely.

“...... Hmm-yes! I-suddenly-remembered. Ago, two days ago, there was a big wrongdoer. Jamie probably really drank too much, and couldn't speak, slammed the table, gathering everyone's eyes, and then lay on the table, facing Brunei's face, but showed a mysterious look, "He gave me 50 standard units." ”

"Oh, that's good......" Brunei replied casually, and suddenly woke up, "What?50 - Hmm. ”

Jamie covered Brunei's mouth and tossed back and forth for a long time, until Brunei removed his hand and asked, then continued: "Yes, yes, yes...... 50 standard units, he asked me about you. ”

"What's that?!"
