Although it was completely different from what Yinggu had imagined, last night's party finally came in handy.

but……

I checked myself, does this work?

Although he can maintain a good relationship with Bawanshi for now, his relationship with Morgan will be exposed sooner or later.

So, we will still go our separate ways when the time comes.

But why don’t we think about the bright side?

If I tell her, she will be exposed; if I don’t tell her, she will be exposed too. Since it’s the same either way, why don’t I try to make more money?

First agree to her invitation, then improve her favorability and learn all her skills and treasures.

And when he was about to lose the secret, he took the initiative to tell her, this little devil, "What a shame, your mother loves no one else but me, Mochizuki Eiko! I've always wanted to see your expression, the expression that makes you want to call me daddy!"

She must be teased severely!

Think about it carefully. In order to deal with this little female ghost, he worked very hard to earn 3000 QP, participated in social activities, drank the water of life crazily, and even nearly lost his chastity twice (Morgan and Camilla). He made huge sacrifices, but she always acted self-centered and indifferent.

Ba Wanxi has been arrogant for so long, and now he finally got the chance to fight back.

You can learn the treasure and play with the female ghosts at your will. This job must be taken.

Anyway, it’s not a loss.

"I have no choice but to do it!"

Ying Gu agreed readily.

"Hey, why are you so obedient all of a sudden?" Bawanshi was a little surprised. "Are you up to something again?"

"No, my heart is sincere. As long as I can help Her Highness Ba Wanxi, even if I die, it will be worth it."

Ying Gu said with a pious look on his face.

"Well, that sounds pleasant to the ear. You do have some vision!"

"uh-huh."

[You and Bawanxi have officially established a cooperative relationship.]

[In Bawanshi, you have realized some of her characteristics.]

You learned Fairy Bloodsucking A.

[Fairy Bloodsucking A]: You can absorb the opponent's energy, making them more tired and making yourself more energetic.]

I learned new skills in no time.

Generally speaking, the skills he learned from other heroic spirits would have their skill levels lowered by several levels, but the skills he learned from Bawanxi seemed to be completely inherited from the original body.

Maybe it’s because she is the heroine of this story line, so the reward mechanism is more generous?

Yinggu is now even more determined to fleece her!

Chapter 32: Test of Courage

That night, you and Bawanshi exchanged contact information.

[You can contact Bawanxi anytime in the future and even ask her out.]

You didn't miss this golden opportunity, and you planned to ask her out as much as possible.

According to the previous case analysis,

The most efficient way to enhance relationships and acquire skills is to encounter special events.

For example, helping Babbage assemble his body, or playing the Queen's Game at a social gathering, these rare special events are the most likely to trigger skills.

You start asking around, trying to find unusual events in campus life.

[Just when you were searching in vain, Tristan returned with a flyer for the haunted house, looking very excited.]

[It read: "The most hopeless test of courage, the scariest haunted house in Academy City, scaring the entire Chaldea!"]

"Wow, it scared the whole of Chaldea. The director is back to life, right?"

Ying Gu had no interest in this.

Although the style of this flyer does give off a strong sense of the extraordinary, he is not very courageous and would be embarrassed in front of the girls.

"Wait, Lord Ingu, look at the back," Tristan reminded.

He flipped to the back of the flyer and saw another line of text: "Everyone who successfully completes the haunted house will receive a generous bonus of 500 QP!"

500QP was enough for him to treat the two Knights of the Round Table in his dormitory to two barbecue meals; or, he could use the money to buy the upcoming Deluxe Edition of Black Monkey.

The bonus was too generous, which made him very worried.

"But the prize money is so generous, which means that this courage test is extremely difficult. This money can't be earned easily..."

"It doesn't matter. A big reward always brings a brave man!" Tristan said firmly. "It doesn't matter if you don't want to go. Anyway, Gawain and I are determined to get the money. If we walk around the haunted house, we can earn the equivalent of two or three days' part-time job!"

"What if it's really scary?"

"Don't be afraid." Gawain reasoned, "Strictly speaking, we heroic spirits are all ghosts, but I don't think you're afraid of them."

"...Please wait a moment."

Yinggu felt that what Gao Wen said made a lot of sense.

It's a special event, there's money to be made, and maybe it can even trigger a drawbridge effect. It's a perfect date spot.

He thought for a moment and decided to send Bawanshi a date invitation to the haunted house.

After a while, Bhavanshi replied to him.

"You idiot, is your brain fermenting and swelling? How could I possibly accompany you on such a boring thing!"

As expected, the words were very harsh and merciless.

Ying Gu quickly sent a message: "Do you want to know how I usually get along with your mother?"

Bawanshi: "..."

Bawanshi: "Do you think I'm particularly easy to fool whenever my mother is mentioned?"

【…】

【Thirty minutes later, you will gather at the main entrance of the haunted house.】

[Once you reach the entrance of the haunted house, you'll immediately understand how hard it is to earn those 300 QP.]

This haunted house, renovated from the abandoned Chaldea Academy building, exudes a desolate, forgotten atmosphere. Though seemingly normal, a chilling wind blew, forcing all the contestants to flee the haunted house screaming in fear.

[This haunted house seems to be cursed.]

Although Bawanxi said she was unwilling, she eventually followed him obediently.

"..."

Bawanshi's outfit tonight was quite low-key and elegant. She didn't wear bright makeup or a gorgeous red dress. She only wore a well-cut dark dress. Her long red hair was braided and she wore round-frame glasses. She looked quiet and intellectual.

Without all the fancy clothes, she actually looks like a girl next door.

Only the high heels are still gorgeous.

"You called me out just for this kind of thing... Don't you know that my time is precious?" she said angrily.

"I'm sorry, but I might really need your help later."

Yinggu turned around and pointed at the heroic spirits who were fleeing the haunted house in a panic. It seemed as if these people only hated their parents for not giving them two pairs of legs. They completely lacked the dignity that a heroic spirit should have.

It’s not their fault that they lack courage, because this haunted house seems to have gathered all the horrors in the world. The gusts of cold wind make people shiver, and from time to time there are sounds of ghosts howling. I don’t know whether it is the cold wind pouring into the cracks in the wall, or there are really people screaming inside.

It seemed that Yinggu really regretted coming here.

But there's no other way, everything is for Bawanxi's skill set, and by the way, the 500QP bonus.

"...The things in this haunted house might be very scary, and we really need your skillset. Please, come with us. I'll give you five dollars."

"Five dollars won't buy me any money!"

Bawanshi said angrily and then let out a sigh.

"Forget it. Since we're partners, I'll just help you briefly. This won't happen again."

Hmm, I find him surprisingly easy to talk to.

"Lord Yinggu, what on earth did you do to make Ba Wanxi come here as he said?"

Gawain looked at the red-haired girl in disbelief.

"Nothing, just a cooperation based on mutual needs—"

"Heroes of the Argo, charge! The glorious ship that tears the sky apart!"

Before Yinggu had the time to explain anything, he saw a group of Greek students bravely and confidently breaking into the haunted house.

The leader was Jason himself. Surrounded by Hercules and others, he walked into the haunted house in an arrogant manner. He was not afraid that anything in the haunted house would scare him, because his crew members looked much scarier than ghosts.

Especially the Hercules with a burly figure and fierce appearance, who can bring infinite sense of security to his teammates.

They had just entered the haunted house, but their attitude was already like they were returning in triumph.

"Today we must seize all the prize money, leaving not a penny for outsiders! Wealth, fame, and glory will all belong to the Argo! Hercules, clear the way for us!!!"

"Roar!!!!"

Hercules let out a very powerful roar.

Oh my god, with that roar, forget about being afraid of ghosts, even ghosts would be scared away by seeing such a strong and brave Hercules! Ying Gu couldn't help but think.

But there is no time to think about these things now. If we don’t enter the haunted house, all the prize money will be taken away by those guys from the Greek class.

There was no choice but to go in.

Today he has to see what this haunted house that has scared away countless heroes is all about!

"Bawanshi, let's go quickly."

Ying Gu turned to her and said.

"Just to be clear... the drawbridge effect doesn't work on me."

Bhavanshi muttered softly.

Chapter 33: BB's House of Horrors

Before entering the haunted house, Yinggu had to do some preparation.

He leaned close to the two Knights of the Round Table and whispered in their ears.

"I'm going to have to trouble you two to be my wingmen again. Try to create opportunities for me and Bawanshi. Please, I'll treat you to barbecue tonight."

"Be a wingman? Like at the last social?"

"...Last time you just made the atmosphere at the party even more awkward. I implore you to correct this."

Yinggu advised earnestly.

"Leave it to us,"

Gawain acted as if no further explanation was needed.

"Before, I was a bit reserved because Mother was here, but this time, I will definitely help you achieve your goal. I will support your relationship!"

"You dare to flirt with your own sister when Morgan is around. If Morgan is not around, I dare not even think about what you are going to do..."

Ying Gu said quietly.

This test of courage conference is bound to have the drawbridge effect and the opportunity to spend time alone together. As long as the two Knights of the Round Table are a little more reliable and the process proceeds normally, he will be able to improve Bawanshi's favorability a lot.

And Bawanshi is always observing him, trying to find out the excellent qualities in him that can charm Morgan and imitate them.

In other words, Bhavanshi would be more mindful of his words and actions than usual.
