Ignoring the risks, the amusement park project was launched.

After gulping down a mouthful of wine, she couldn't help but ask with a smile—

"They've made their move?"

"What are you thinking? I was just walking along when I was suddenly attacked and accidentally got hurt."

Hiratsuka Shizuka was talking nonsense with a straight face, but the blush on her face still showed no signs of fading.

Himeko clearly didn't believe her nonsense, but she still took a box of ointment from the drawer with great interest and slammed it on the table—

"Look, it works really well. Would you like me to apply some more for you?"

"It's not that serious. Just cover it up and it will recover on its own in a while."

"Oh, it can recover on its own."

Hearing Himeko's deliberately drawn-out tone, Hiratsuka Shizuka became increasingly uncomfortable.

Not daring to dwell on the topic any longer, she quickly threatened—

"You're sneaking a drink again, aren't you afraid of getting caught by the principal?"

"Oh, a little drink won't make a difference. I don't have any classes this afternoon."

"Want a can too? And while we're at it, let's chat about your sudden attack and injury?"

Himeko magically produced another jar of sake, looking at Hiratsuka Shizuka with a bright smile.

I thought I'd just laze around and have a few drinks in the afternoon, but I didn't expect this unexpected surprise.

"It's just a minor injury. Students like to play around in the hallways, and it's normal to get caught in the crossfire. There's nothing to say about it."

With a straight face, Hiratsuka Shizuka opened the textbook with her free hand and started writing and drawing on it, pretending to be very busy.

Himeko didn't say much after hearing this, but continued to stare at her with an unchanged smile, which only created more tormenting pressure.

Less than three minutes later, Hiratsuka Shizuka, unable to bear being stared at any longer, muttered under her breath—

"Don't tell anyone."

"You wait."

This time, Himeko suddenly interrupted the other person. After rummaging through a cabinet, she managed to pull out a bag of peanuts.

After unwrapping the packaging and sprinkling some wine on a napkin, followed by a sip of wine, she began to speak with a sense of ritual—

"Okay, continue."

""

Hiratsuka Shizuka glared at the unruly guy and grabbed a handful of peanuts with a disgruntled expression.

"I just caught a truant student in the hallway."

While Hiratsuka Shizuka was sharing stories with Himeko, in another classroom, Fu Shi was curiously poking Lappland's ticklish spot.

"Hey, hey, what's going on with you two? Has the contest ended?"

"Of course! How could that kid possibly be a match for me?"

The dog whined and mumbled, acting as if it were invincible.

But under the table, her legs instinctively tightened slightly, as if she hadn't recovered yet.

Fu Shi, who hadn't noticed anything amiss, perked up and curiously pressed for details—

"real or fake?"

"Jiang Qiu's massage skills are quite impressive, how did you manage to block that move?"

"No matter how powerful the massage is, it's only effective if you hit the person. As long as you suppress them first, this guy won't even have a chance to fight back."

"Wow!! How did you take him down?"

"It's simple. First, assume a relaxed, unguarded stance, then, while the opponent is off guard, suddenly turn around and slide tackle."

As the dog shared his experience, images of himself being completely overwhelmed and unable to fight back kept flashing through his mind.

Chapter 84, paragraph 85: Shino seemed to sense something amiss.

When the familiar school bell rang throughout the corridor, it seemed to wash away the fatigue and boredom of a whole day of studying, injecting a new vitality into the entire school.

As the noise gradually converged on the playground and the unique teaching buildings, it also meant that it was time for club activities.

Although many students did not participate in clubs, they were not in a hurry to leave the school. Instead, they strolled around every corner of the school as if taking a walk.

The vibrant noise filled the entire campus, allowing everyone to fully experience the spirit of youth.

Before heading to the club activity room, Jiang Qiu and the others made sure to buy some snacks from a roadside stall outside the school.

Seeing Mordred's mouth glistening with oil and her frantically stuffing herself with stinky tofu, Exusiai couldn't help but show a puzzled expression.

"Did you save Xiaoshi's life? She actually bought you so much food!"

"This is the reward for my hard work!"

Mordred mumbled incoherently, swatting away the dog's outstretched paw.

Exusiai listened in a daze, looking somewhat bewildered at the talisman.

Fu Shi naturally couldn't tell the truth, and stammered and evaded the question.

However, her suspicious appearance clearly aroused Ah Neng's curiosity, and she kept asking questions until they entered the club activity room.

However, upon entering the activity room, the eerie atmosphere inside immediately froze everyone in place.

As far as the eye could see, Kaguya and the others had all arrived and were all wearing masks.

Several new incense sticks were lit nearby, and the stronger fragrance spread in all directions with the fan, while also suppressing the succubus breath that Jiang Qiu had brought with her to the extreme.

Seeing the way these guys were all on high alert, Jiang Qiu's eye twitched involuntarily.

The moment Asuna's eyes met his, her pretty face turned bright red, and she quickly and guiltily looked away.

Shino seemed to sense something was amiss, and glanced back and forth between the two of them with some suspicion.

However, since there were other people present, she could only suppress her suspicions for the time being.

Just then, Kaguya suddenly beckoned to Jiang Qiu—

"Jiang Qiu, come quick, Yonglin asked me to bring you something."

"what?"

As Jiang Qiu curiously leaned forward, Kaguya pushed a small box in front of him.

Upon opening it, one would find several small sachets embroidered with adorable rabbit designs inside.

The unique medicinal fragrance emanating from it was so enticing that just a couple of sniffs seemed to clear my mind.

As my mind gradually calmed down, my breathing and blood circulation also became slightly smoother.

Seeing that Jiang Qiu seemed stunned by the effect of the sachet, Kaguya couldn't help but chuckle.

"How is it? Does it feel great?"

"Yonglin specially made this for you. It can effectively neutralize and suppress the smell on your body. The medicinal herbs inside also have the effects of calming the mind, regulating qi and promoting blood circulation."

"You should wear one yourself, and give the others to people you interact with frequently. This way, the impact can be minimized."

"However, this thing seems a bit troublesome to set up, and it only lasts for a few days. Remember to ask Yonglin to replace it when it loses its flavor."

As Kaguya explained, she didn't forget to take one out and put it in her pocket.

Upon hearing this, the others also stepped forward to receive it, and began to play with it in their hands with great interest.

"Oh right, just in case, we discussed it and decided to switch our computer seats as well."

"I'll have to trouble you to sit on the very edge so the impact will be less. Sorry, I'll treat you to dessert later."

"It's okay, I thought it would be even further away."

"It's not that bad. We've prepared so many suppression measures; it would be a bit unreasonable to keep them further away."

"Hey, the best vent location is reserved for you. The air will be fresher. It originally belonged to Asuna, but she gave it to you."

"Oh wow, thank you, President!"

In response to Jiang Qiu's thanks, Asuna quietly said "no need" and then quickly tidied up and moved away.

Mordred and the others watched them change positions and became somewhat itchy to join in.

"Can we exchange them too?"

"Sure, where would you like to move to?"

After Mordred and the others pointed, under Jiang Qiu's twitching gaze, the four of them squeezed into the farthest corner.

As for the remaining Kaguya and the others, they looked at each other and immediately started playing rock-paper-scissors.

In no time, only Asuna and Sinon remained on the field.

Only the seats next to and opposite Jiang Qiu remained.

Both of these positions are undoubtedly high-risk, but as the saying goes, every little bit helps.

For a moment, the pressure from the threat to their survival almost made them breathless.

For their own safety, members of the club sometimes have to sever the genuine friendship between them!

As Sinon's eyes hardened, Asuna's unease reached its peak.

For some reason, she always felt that if she made a move, she would definitely be the one to lose.

With her eyelids twitching uncontrollably, she decisively changed her strategy before the rock-paper-scissors game even started.

He lowered his voice and bewitched Shino—

"Shino, give me your seat."

"Huh? You want me dead?"

"Didn't you have your eye on a gun skin before? I'll buy it for you."

"This is not a skin issue."

I've cleared out your entire in-game shopping cart!

"make a deal!"

Faced with Asuna's sincere offer, Shino ultimately couldn't resist the temptation and resolutely sat down next to Jiang Qiu.

Asuna breathed a sigh of relief and then sat down in the opposite seat with peace of mind.

After using the monitor to cover my face, all the unease I felt because of my guilty conscience vanished at that moment.

Although I feel bad for Sinon, this is a necessary sacrifice!

"Cough cough!"

Prompted by Shino's cough, Asuna didn't delay and immediately used her money ability to modify the other party's in-game savings.

Seeing the funds arrive quickly, Sinon instantly forgot all her fears and happily picked out her favorite skins in the game store.

After everything was settled, Asuna called everyone over and brought up the matter of testing the new game.

Jiang Qiu and the others then noticed the complex machine that had been installed on the chassis at some point, unsurprisingly bearing the logo of a little kappa.

The virtual stealth helmet sat to the side, flashing blue light from time to time, exuding a strong sense of science fiction.

"The account information for testing has been written on the small cards in the drawer. Just log in directly."

"Today we're primarily testing the beginner city area in the game world."

Welcome to Lost Paradise

A pleasant notification sound rang in their ears, and a soft white light immediately filled Jiang Qiu and the others' field of vision.

When they came to their senses, they found themselves standing in a technologically advanced outer space tunnel.

There was no need to walk; the elevator beneath their feet carried them slowly forward, allowing them to admire the mesmerizing and dazzling starry sky outside the corridor windows.
