VIP Chapter 106: Now I Really Can’t Sleep
“Ugh… I didn’t expect I could actually drink more than them…”
Perhaps it was because the Royal Family wanted to reform the education system, but graduation this year was scheduled to be after his birthday, and also after Treya’s birthday.
Since they were all adults, Liya insisted that she had already come of age. The only reason she couldn’t buy alcohol was that the seller didn’t recognize the ID issued by the Witch.
And so…
The night of graduation successfully turned into an “experimental drinking” party.
Except for Iaar.
“Young Master… If Iaar gets drunk, there will be no one to clear the table, and moreover… Iaar has a terrible alcohol tolerance!”
But…
As the “cheers” continued…
Liya, completely lacking any teacher’s dignity, mumbled, “Ahaha, I actually haven’t drunk alcohol in hundreds of years,” and drowsily put down her cup, admitting defeat.
Treya, on the other hand, didn’t even last a few rounds. As she insisted on taking another drink, she lowered her hand and shook her head.
“Alright! It’s the Young Master’s victory! Yay! Iaar won the bet!”
“Where did this strange competitive spirit of yours come from! And who did you bet with?”
“Now, we need to get them back safely.”
“Speaking of which… they trust me so much.”
Will looked at the two.
While he admitted that usually, he wouldn’t be able to defeat either of them, no matter who it was.
But even drunk, they could still be this relaxed.
They truly considered him one of their own.
“I… *hic*… have a carriage coming to pick us up.”
Treya, with her head buried in her arm, reached out.
“Oh, that’s fine then.”
Will started to reply, then suddenly realized that as her fiancé, both getting his fiancée drunk and sending her back without doing anything seemed quite abnormal?!
“Hehe, I’m going to hitch a ride with you.”
Liya said, slumping in her chair.
“Teacher Will, I want a hug~”
Treya even exhibited a common phenomenon of age regression!
“Okay, okay, hug, hug, hug.”
Hugging Treya’s full body and soft flesh, Will was still a bit unaccustomed to it.
“No fair! If she gets a hug, I want one too!”
Liya also exhibited the phenomenon of following suit!
“You don’t need one!”
“I… I’m only twelve years old, I’m just… an elementary school student?”
Liya pouted and looked at him with her clear, watery eyes. Combined with her already childish Twin Tails, she really did have the air of an elementary school girl carrying a large backpack.
Liya, who usually acted mature and steady, was now shamelessly acting like an elementary school student?!
Indeed, when people get drunk, do they completely transform into entirely different people?!
“Teacher, hug.”
“Good student, hug.”
“The carriage is here, the carriage is here, have… have you hugged enough?”
“My, my, the Young Master is embracing both sides.”
“Don’t exaggerate!”
Before leaving, Will specifically checked if there were any neighbors or paparazzi around. He didn’t want another piece of evidence of his “perversion” appearing tomorrow.
***
Finally, upon returning to his familiar little desk, Will showed no signs of drunkenness.
He felt a slight dizziness.
Perhaps he could get a good night’s sleep tonight.
He mentally calculated how long it would take a high-level mage with an attack power of 2000 to break through two layers of Ice Armor Infusion with a medium fireball, in a low-temperature environment of 10 degrees Celsius, for a third-tier Ice Armor.
“Oh, five point four five seconds.”
“It seems my brain is still clear.”
“Was I someone who could drink this much in my past life?”
Certainly not.
When he was frustrated with his job and feeling down, he would often get drunk after just two drinks with colleagues.
But…
It was very normal for “Young Master Will” to have this alcohol tolerance.
In the original work, he habitually attended such gatherings, and it was predicted that he would become a playboy when he grew up.
Indeed…
He couldn’t think of himself as the same person from his past life anymore.
Even though his mental state and intelligence were still his own, the changes in his body were beginning to have an effect little by little.
He looked at the “Quest System” on his desk. After three years, although he had covered its red cover with a brand-new book cover, it was still much older than before.
For the past three years, he had followed the plan given in the “Quest System” – though he had occasionally altered some things – and had progressed to where he was now.
[Quest 158: Have Iaar master the basic activation phrase for “Ice Array (Attack)”.]
[Reward: Iaar’s lap pillow. (Note: Have Iaar stop her daily endurance runs; her muscles are a bit too firm from lying down.)]
…
[Quest 185: Piece together ancient texts with Liya to obtain the overall design concept of the “Candle of First Creation”.]
[Reward: Have Liya stare at you for ten minutes to draw her pupils. (Note: She actually only let you look for three minutes before covering her face and running away. A pity.)]
…
[Quest 199: Attempt practical combat with nearby magical beasts using Demonic Sword Arts with Treya.]
[Reward: Magical Beast Roast Meat Platter. (Although it was chopped a bit too finely, and in the end, we could only eat minced meat, the taste was still good.)]
…
Rustling.
Will flipped through this “Quest System,” page after page of various quests flashing before his eyes, making him recall the past three years.
Finally…
He stopped at the part where the reward had not yet been written.
[Quest 300: Forge a “Snow Song Holy Shield” for Iaar.]
[Quest 301: Forge a “Staff of Ancient Flames” for Liya.]
[Quest 302: Forge a “Shadow Nightmare Sword” for Treya.]
What kind of names were these!
Oh…
They were given by his former (life) colleagues.
The origin of this story is long…
Now, Will had actually used all the extraordinary skills and magical arts from the original work that could be adapted for them.
The nurturing process couldn’t be rushed. If they continued down this path, they were bound to achieve great things—after all, there was about a year left, and Dungeons were the fastest place for improvement.
The biggest problem was that, based on Will’s usual observations, their weapons were no longer sufficient.
For example, the shield Iaar used when casting “Ice Array (Attack)” was severely worn and frequently cracked from the cold.
For Liya’s staff, although it was purchased with school funds, she had already gone through more than twenty of them during this period.
For Treya’s sword, it was even worse; she basically changed swords every month, though thankfully the Royal Family had some financial resources.
And so…
They needed brand-new weapons, brand-new equipment, and if they were going to have equipment, it should be a complete set!
But…
They didn’t have any!
The equipment mentioned in the original work was mostly used in the Dungeon, and there wasn’t even any designed equipment for the three of them—did a loser like you expect new clothes?
So…
Will intended to…
Forge them himself!
He was no longer the Will who knew nothing upon arriving in this world. Through three years of study, coupled with communication with S, he had gained some understanding of this world.
By tailoring them to the growth of the three individuals, he could ensure they were effective.
As for the names… well… they were taken from the game’s settings. Although the game had adapted them, they were all five-star weapons, and they could actually be equipped by characters.
“With these, let’s see where the male lead can run…”
Saying that, Will flipped to the next page…
[Quest 400: Graduate successfully.]
[Reward: Let me tell you a piece of information! After graduation, you will only have two months left until you meet Xiu, and Xiu will be looking for teammates in Nov one month in advance. You… might even cross paths. Can you still sleep?]
…
The next day.
“Young Master, you have such severe Dark circles. Didn’t you say that drinking makes you sleep better?! What’s going on?!”
“Don’t ask. Ask the me from seven years ago.”
