Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

Unexpectedly, he lost consciousness while drinking.

The last scene I remember is Sonoko pouring him alcohol, saying she would help him meet his sales target.

Chu Zhong immediately checked the system records, and the result was...

Phase Two Goals Completed

[Sales: 1500 million yen, Rating: S]

[Sales bonus received: 300 million yen]

[Phase 3 objective achieved, rating: S]

[Overall Dungeon Rating: SSS]

Chu Zhong rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things.

After getting drunk, I actually achieved an SSS-level rating!

How exactly was it accomplished? What exactly happened?

Next time I see the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan or the dungeon girl, I'll have to ask her properly.

Chu Zhong checks the subsequent dungeon rewards:

[Experience gained: 9600, Spirit Essence: 10560] (Teammate bonus: 20%)

Current Spiritual Energy: 67560

As expected of an SSS-level rating, the rewards are truly generous!

The spiritual energy consumed in the two dungeon runs has been fully replenished!

[Materials obtained: Fine gold thread *3]

Prize money awarded: 500 million yen

Chu Zhong calculated it,

The first phase dropped 200 million yen, the second phase had a prize of 300 million yen, and now there's another 500 million yen.

All in all, this one dungeon run alone netted me 1000 million yen!

No wonder she's the second daughter of the incredibly wealthy Suzuki family!

At last,

[Items obtained: Music Box Key, Suzuki Foundation VIP Card]

"Music Box Key" (Unique): Go to Suzuki Manor to open the Suzuki Garden instance, which can trigger a hidden instance.

It seems I'll have to find an opportunity to visit the Suzuki Estate sometime in the future.

"Suzuki Foundation VIP Card": Holders of this card can enjoy VIP treatment when making purchases at Suzuki Foundation-related businesses.

The Suzuki Group owns numerous businesses across a wide range of industries, spanning the entire country of Japan.

This VIP card is actually a very useful thing.

Overall, this dungeon run was very rewarding!

Chu Zhong was in a good mood.

Quietly take a bouquet of flowers that can accelerate mental recovery from the inventory and put it in the desk.

Chu Zhong was getting ready for bed when he discovered...

'My mana has recovered quite a bit?!'

Chu Zhong was surprised.

In the Garden instance, he used the Immobilize spell four times, consuming a total of 100 mana, leaving him with 50 mana.

Now that the instance is closed, my mana is back to 98.

I glanced at the time and realized I'd only spent about half an hour in the Garden instance. My mana wouldn't have recovered that quickly just from the time spent there.

'I feel like I missed out on a wonderful, easy win...'

Chu Zhong once again understood the truth that 'drinking leads to mistakes'.

Looking at Ran and Sonoko, they were both listening attentively to the lesson and seemed unaffected.

It's estimated that the intensity wasn't strong enough, the time was a bit short, and the transmission to reality was weakened, so it didn't cause much of a stir.

Chu Zhong then fell asleep at the table and was not woken up by Xiao Lan until lunchtime.

"Ha~"

Chu Zhong stretched.

With the "bouquet" effect accelerating mental recovery, I only slept for two hours, but the mental energy I had consumed from running two dungeons in the morning was completely replenished.

Just as he was about to go to the school cafeteria to find something to eat, Xiaolan grabbed him.

"Lord Chu, if you don't mind... let's share it."

Ran Mouri opened the lunchbox she had brought and placed it on Chu Zhong's desk.

Chu Zhong hesitated for a moment, "But if you do that, Xiao Lan won't have enough to eat."

There are two adults here, how can one bento box be enough to share?

Not to mention, Xiaolan has to attend karate training in the afternoon, so she can't go hungry.

"What are you afraid of! I still have mine!"

Sonoko also placed her own bento on Chu Zhong's desk, saying, "Eat first, then we can always buy some bread or something later."

They said they would eat together.

Chu Zhong, however, did not receive any tableware.

"Lord Chu, come here, ah~"

Ran Mouri picked up a piece of meat and held it to Chu Zhong's mouth.

Her tone was gentle, her pretty face slightly shy, and she could barely hold her chopsticks, clearly it was her first time trying.

Chu Zhong didn't stand on ceremony; he ate the meat that was brought to his mouth and exclaimed, "Delicious!"

Ran Mouri was visibly pleased. She used the same pair of chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat from the bento box and ate it.

The girl held the chopsticks, along with the piece of meat they had picked up, in her mouth. Then the chopsticks were pulled out and brushed against her moist, cherry-like lips.

Throughout the entire process, Ran Mouri kept her eyes fixed on Chu Zhong.

It's unclear whether this action was intentional or unintentional.

Chu Zhong immediately remembered the unfinished business of taking Xiao Lan to her doorstep last night.

"Lord Chu, try some of mine too!"

Not to be outdone, the neighboring gardeners followed suit and started feeding the animals as well.

"It smells very good too." Chu Zhong accepted all the food offered.

Unlike Xiaolan's gentle feeding,

When feeding Yuanzi, the chopsticks would be pushed forward slightly, and then a noticeable smile would appear at the corners of her mouth. However, Yuanzi would secretly bite her lower lip to hide the smile as much as possible...

Although Chu Zhong still noticed it.

It inevitably brings to mind that Sonoko in the dungeon also has some strange tendencies... like when she 'ordered' him before...

Chu Zhong had long seen that both the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan and the alternate version of Sonoko were part of the real Xiao Lan and Sonoko, only some of their personality traits were amplified.

Before long, the three of them finished both bento boxes.

Ran Mouri: "King Chu, you definitely prefer the dishes I cook, right?"

Yuanzi: "Lord Chu, surely the taste of high-quality ingredients suits your palate better?"

Chu Zhong didn't answer the potentially fatal question; he simply used the excuse that he hadn't eaten enough to go buy some bread and milk.

After watching Chu Zhong 'escape',

The two best friends exchanged a glance and smiled simultaneously.

Sonoko leaned close to her best friend and whispered, "Ran, Chu Jun took you home last night...did you take advantage of him?"

"No..." Ran Mouri blushed and denied, "Sonoko, you're just imagining things again!"

"Really not? You're not lying to me?"

Ran Mouri shook her head, "Mom came back so suddenly, there wasn't enough time..."

He then realized he had let something slip, but it was too late.

Sonoko immediately gave her a knowing look. "No wonder Chu Jun was summoned by Attorney Fei."

Ran Mouri corrected, "What meeting? It's just a casual meeting, a formal introduction..."

Sonoko sighed, "Ran, you're so quick! Chu Jun has already met your parents, and the uncle seems to like him a lot."

"Attorney Fei will definitely like such a handsome son-in-law, and who knows, you two might even get engaged..."

"Unlike me, I only see my family once every ten days or two weeks..."

Sonoko, who was wallowing in self-pity, was quickly flicked on the forehead by Ran Mouri:

"Yuanzi, don't tell me you didn't notice the way Chu Jun looked at us yesterday."

"Huh?" Sonoko exclaimed in surprise, "Didn't Chu-kun only look at me back then? Ran, were you involved too?"

She blushed and said, "Oh dear, it's all because Chu Jun's eyes were so protective back then. It warmed my heart, and I just wanted to throw myself into Chu Jun's arms... um..."

Seeing that Sonoko was getting louder and louder and was showing signs of infatuation, Ran Mouri quickly covered her best friend's mouth.

They only loosened their grip once the garden's 'symptoms' improved.

"What are you talking about?"

At this moment, Chu Zhong also returned with bread and milk.

“Oh! You're talking about the gunshots yesterday afternoon,” Ran Mouri replied quickly.

“It must have been an accident,” Sonoko continued. “If it were really about revenge, why would a bullet be fired at a second-floor window?”

Ran Mouri nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Sonoko's statement.

At that time, everyone was downstairs with no cover, making it the perfect opportunity for 'revenge'. Even if your hand was shaking, the bullet couldn't possibly miss the second floor.

Therefore, the two best friends were not worried about the shooting and continued to joke around as usual.

"Lord Chu, what do you think?"

"The uncle has already gone to the Metropolitan Police Department to check the information with Inspector Megure. We should have results soon."

Chu Zhong did not express an opinion.

Knowing too much about some things is not a good thing; there's no need to add to their troubles.

The good news is that Chu Zhong has been wearing the Raven Badge since last night and hasn't sensed any 'kind' aura.

For safety reasons, to avoid being targeted, Chu Zhong drew the curtains last night and didn't even dare to sleep in bed.

Fortunately nothing happened.

There were no suitable angles around the school to snipe his seat, and the only suspicious person was Vermouth, who was still disguised as the school doctor.

The Black Organization was behaving strangely well.

We'll have to interrogate Vermouth after school to find out the truth.

It was most likely her who scared Vodka and Gin away yesterday...

Chapter 57 Sonoko's gaze was like a monster.

Jingle Bell--!
