Chapter 271 Split up
"I?"

Asahina pointed at herself with a very puzzled expression. Was Ryuuen inviting her?
No matter how you look at it, Gui Longyuan is a more suitable role than himself.

Ryuuen nodded, "Of course, Asahina-senpai, team up with me and I'll help you win the grand prize."

Asahina was happy. She originally wanted to team up with Kiryuin but was rejected. Unexpectedly, she was invited by Ryuen by chance. Ryuen was a good teammate. Like Ryuen, Asahina also came to play. She just wanted to experience the treasure hunt game hosted by Nanyun.

After readily agreeing, Ryuuen took Asahina away. They had to go to the student council members to register the group's situation first.

Sakayanagi and Kiryuin were left behind, and Sakayanagi took the opportunity to invite Kiryuin, but Kiryuin had no intention of teaming up with others from beginning to end. She rejected Sakayanagi's invitation and decided to participate in the treasure hunt game alone.

Sakayanagi was first rejected by Ryuen, and now by Kiryuin, and there was a subtle change in her mentality. Sakayanagi looked at Kiryuin's receding back and suddenly smiled with relief: "One person can win, right?"

Does winning or not matter?

At least for Sakayanagi, it doesn't matter whether he wins or loses this treasure hunt game. His original goal was to cultivate feelings with Ryuuen, so what would happen if he didn't join a team? The worst case scenario is that he would lose.

After thinking it through, Sakayanagi decided to participate in the competition alone like Kiryuin.

The person in charge of registering the group's situation was Horikita again. He still had a blank expression on his face as he wrote down the names of Ryuuen and Asahina.

Ryuen complained: "Is there no one left in the student union? Why are you the only one doing the work?"

Horikita ignored Ryuuen and Ryuuen shrugged. If Horikita didn't want to pay attention to him, then there was no need for him to stay there shamelessly and he could just go treasure hunting.

Asahina followed Ryuen and said, "Ryuen-kun, did you make Horikita-kun angry?"

"Is it obvious?"

Ryuuen touched his nose.

"It's obvious that although Horikita always looks cold, her eyes are burning when she looks at you."

Asahina gloated as she chattered beside Ryuuen.

"Is it possible that the reason why Horikita is angry is not because of me, but because of you."

Asahina was stunned by Ryuuen's words. Why did she get involved?

Before Asahina could think clearly, Ryuuen snapped his fingers and said, "I found a QR code."

"Huh? So fast?"

Asahina was very surprised. The two of them didn't even think about the answer to the riddle. They were just on their way normally, and they still encountered a QR code on the road.

The first QR code was not a matter of luck. Long Yuan had already solved the three puzzles in his hand, and this QR code was one of them.

Asahina took out her phone and prepared to scan the QR code, muttering, "This is so boring. It's over before I even started looking."

Ryuen covered the camera of Asahina's phone and said, "Just take a photo of the QR code. You can tell at a glance that the reward amount for the QR code at this location won't be much. The value of scanning it is too low. If you can't find a better one, come back and scan it."

Asahina nodded, forgetting that a mobile phone can only scan one QR code, and the higher the reward, the harder it is to find the QR code hidden.

Long Yuan's idea was very simple, which was to solve the puzzle first, then find the six QR codes based on the puzzle, and finally see if there was any pattern among the six QR codes. The school just liked to insert some specific pattern into seemingly lawless things. With Long Yuan's super action, the two quickly found all six QR codes. Long Yuan compared the positions of the six QR codes, but unfortunately there was no pattern at all.

Long Yuan frowned. It was impossible. How could there be no pattern? This shouldn't be the case. There must be some specific pattern that he just hadn't discovered.

Ryuen fell into deep thought, trying to find some specific pattern from it, but Chaobi advised Ryuen to give up: "Junior brother Ryuen, there is no pattern, don't look at it, why don't we just try our luck, maybe we can encounter a QR code on the way."

Long Yuan didn't want to give up: "It shouldn't be like this, how can there be no pattern?"

Asahina patted Ryuen's head and said, "I know Nanyun's personality. He said this is a game of luck, so he probably won't set any rules in it. Besides, Nanyun is a bit treacherous. I guess the answer is to mislead you smart people to find the rules. But in fact, Nanyun didn't set any rules at all."

After hearing what Asahina said, Ryuen finally gave up on finding a pattern: "This Nanyun is pretty disgusting. He actually plays like this."

Asahina patted Ryuen's shoulder again: "That kid is indeed a bit shady."

"The child?"

Ryuuen was concerned about the way Asahina addressed Nagumo.

"You sound just like Nanyun's mother."

Asahina was not angry either, and said as if it was a matter of course: "We are childhood sweethearts, and we grew up together. Although Nanyun is stronger than me, when others bullied Nanyun when we were young, I was protecting him."

Asahina put her hands on her hips, looking very proud.

Ryuen also roughly understood the relationship between the two, but was still confused: "Then why don't you, Asahina-senpai, join Nanyun's student council?"

Asahina's expression suddenly became a little lonely: "Nanyun doesn't need my help now. He can do things perfectly by himself."

"Perfect?"

Ryuen looked down on him. When would Nanyun ever do something perfectly? I didn't expect Nanyun to have such a high status in Asahina's heart. But it was normal to think about it. After all, they were childhood sweethearts. No matter what, Nanyun had a certain weight in Asahina's heart.

Asahina didn't want to have a deep conversation with Ryuen about Nagumo's problem, so she changed the subject: "Where are we going to find the QR code now?"

"Let's look for it in places where there are fewer people."

Ryuen also noticed that Asahina was trying to change the subject. Although it was a very small movement, Ryuen still caught it. When talking about Nagumo, Asahina smiled bitterly.

It seems that the relationship between these two people is not as harmonious as it seems on the surface. Even if they are childhood sweethearts, conflicts will occur.

Of course, Ryuuen wouldn't be so boring as to ask Asahina directly, and tacitly, they both chose to avoid the topic of Nagumo.

This cruise ship has many floors, and the least crowded places are undoubtedly the top and bottom floors.

In order to prevent the QR code from being found by others, Ryuen and Asahina decided to split up, with Asahina going to the top floor to look for it, while Ryuen went to the bottom floor to look for it.

There were many people who had the same idea. Ayanokouji was gathered on the top floor. Asahina greeted him, which made Sato, who was next to Ayanokouji, jealous.
