I've Become the King of Villains in the Game

After thinking briefly, Chen Lun softly opened his mouth:

"That’s not a problem."

Since I’ve already accepted two player students, Polaris and Sunny Xiaoyu, a few more local students wouldn’t matter.

Perhaps I can get more diverse "experimental data" as reference.

"That’s really wonderful!"

Julie, the director of education, smiled.

She exchanged a glance with Stanley, then cautiously asked:

"I wonder, Your Majesty Jack, which area of magical knowledge you specialize in, so we can make arrangements in advance..."

Chen Lun raised an eyebrow.

He hadn’t formally started his studies at Saint Byron yet, and hadn’t determined his research direction, making this question quite difficult to answer.

Fortunately, he’d studied quite a few mystical books on magic before, and had developed several skills integrating magic, so he could present something.

"Fundamentals of Magic and animal transformation, I guess."

Chen Lun spoke offhandedly.

"As expected of Your Majesty the Saint, surely you have a profound accumulation and unique insights into the basics of magic."

Stanley smiled humbly and praised.

"Although transformation spells are common, there is no professor who specializes in them at Saint Byron... Your arrival not only fills this gap but also will leave deep extensions of transformation spells for the academy."

"..."

Looking at the other’s sincere expression, Chen Lun was speechless.

’This guy is better at flattery than I am...’

He couldn’t help but shake his head with a smile.

He mused over the art of speaking.

"Your Majesty, you are new here and might not have found a suitable place to stay yet. Fortunately, there are apartments built specifically for faculty members behind the academy. If you don’t mind, I can prepare a quiet and independent residence for you."

Julie spoke timely.

"Alright then, thank you, Ms. Julie."

Chen Lun smiled.

Disliking trouble, he accepted her kindness straightforwardly.

Julie quickly bowed and said respectfully:

"It’s just a small effort, Your Majesty."

Julie, indeed the director of education at the academy, was efficient. In less than an hour, just past 1:30 PM, she notified Chen Lun that he could move in.

She even personally led Chen Lun and his two students to the apartment area, stopping in front of a three-story apartment in a corner.

"I’ve ordered the living items inside to be prepared. If you need anything else, feel free to instruct and I will arrange it immediately."

Julie raised her hand to open the Great Gate for Chen Lun.

Chen Lun smiled at her, nodded gently, then walked in upright with his white cane.

After wandering inside for a while, he was quite pleased. The apartment was fully equipped, incredibly clean and tidy internally.

Pulling open a curtain of a floor-to-ceiling window at random, the bright light instantly shone in. Outside was a snow-covered lawn and some plant landscapes, looking extremely beautiful and peaceful.

"Thank you for your efforts, Ms. Julie."

Chen Lun turned and smiled.

"You’re welcome, Your Majesty."

Julie smiled and quickly said.

"Well then, I wish you success in your research at Saint Byron. I won’t bother you any further."

Chen Lun nodded, then watched her turn and leave downstairs.

Immediately after, he called out to Polaris and Sunny Xiaoyu, who were exploring around the apartment, and said:

"You two, pick a room on the second floor to stay in yourselves. I’ll be out most of the time, occasionally staying in the compartment on the third floor. Don’t disturb me casually..."

"Okay, teacher!"

The two students responded obediently.

Chen Lun glanced at them, half-smiling:

"If there’s anything you need, you can buy it yourselves. But don’t forget what I said, you must find a self-sustaining job in the academy. Don’t be idle all day... As for teaching you knowledge, I’ll decide based on your future performance."

Sunny Xiaoyu and Polaris exchanged glances.

They both received the task prompt on their panels.

After confirming the task acceptance, they said in unison:

"We understand, teacher."

"Good."

Chen Lun nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he went downstairs with his white cane, without looking back, and said:

"I have things to do in the afternoon, you can move around freely."

Until his figure left the apartment, with the Great Gate closing with a click, Sunny Xiaoyu turned to Polaris and said:

"Brother Bei, do you have any good suggestions about finding a job? I don’t have much experience on this..."

"Let’s go out and wander around first, get familiar with the environment."

Polaris shook his head and said.

"Hmm, okay, let’s explore the new map together!"

Sunny Xiaoyu laughed.

Polaris was reluctant to act together with this woman, but considering his face and the relationship as senior and junior, he nodded silently.

After tidying up briefly, they left the apartment and strolled around the academy.

Perhaps because they weren’t wearing student uniforms, or romantic relationships aren’t popular at Saint Byron Academy, their walking side by side on the clean, snow-white stone paths always attracted the attention of others.

Sunny Xiaoyu seemed to be in a good mood, constantly looking around, curiously admiring the snowy scenery and majestic buildings of the academy... Whenever she saw some exquisite and tall stone sculptures, she’d exclaim in amazement.

After walking for a while, Polaris sighed softly and in a low voice asked:

"Xiaoyu, how old are you in reality?"

"Ah? Why do you ask that... Don’t you know a girl’s age is a taboo topic? You’re such a straight man, North Brother."

Sunny Xiaoyu swung her long white hair and teased.

"By the way, don’t you have a girlfriend?"

Polaris opened his mouth but was momentarily speechless.

Sunny Xiaoyu looked at him with great interest, smiling brightly:

"I didn’t expect you to be so shy... Never mind, it’s no big deal. I’ll tell you. I’m twenty-eight this year."

"You’re sixteen?"

Polaris said somewhat surprised.

The age of an ordinary high school girl, already the president of a top guild, he couldn’t help but admire her.

"It’s twenty-eight."

Sunny Xiaoyu snickered.

The surprise on Polaris’s face froze, and he couldn’t help muttering to himself that a woman three years older than him was acting so childish.

"I know what you’re thinking! Are you mentally accusing me of pretending to be young and cute?!"

Sunny Xiaoyu asked with hands on her hips.

"No..."

Polaris said weakly.

"Good, as long as you don’t. Hehe... Actually, the older a woman gets, the cuter. You don’t understand women, which is why you can’t find a girlfriend."

Sunny Xiaoyu shrugged and spread her hands.

Just as Polaris was hit where it hurt, she seemed to see something and quickly pulled at his sleeve, pointing to a restaurant ahead on the left.

"Hey, look there, lots of customers... How about we go in and ask? Maybe they’re short on staff."

"You want to work as a waitress in a restaurant?"

Polaris raised his eyebrows.

He glanced at the restaurant; the decor wasn’t lavish but was clean and simple, with a unique vintage charm. The sign read "Sapphire Restaurant."

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, he could see many students in dark green robes dining and chatting inside, looking very lively.

"What’s wrong with being a waitress? It’s a way to earn money with your own hands and support yourself."

Sunny Xiaoyu huffed.

"That’s not what I meant..."

Polaris shook his head.

"Sigh, forget it, let’s go check it out."

He gave up arguing with the woman and stepped towards the Sapphire Restaurant. Sunny Xiaoyu called out to him twice, and when he didn’t respond, she rolled her eyes and followed closely behind.

Ding-a-ling...

As soon as they pushed open the door, a clear ringing sound came from the bell hanging inside the glass door. A beautiful girl in a black waitress uniform with an apron approached them, smiling:

"Welcome, is it just the two of you?"

"Yes, two."

Polaris nodded.

"Miss, you’re so pretty."

Sunny Xiaoyu beside him couldn’t help but praise the waitress’s looks, especially her stunning dark green hair, which particularly caught her eye.

"Thank you, you’re very pretty too, Miss."

The waitress smiled slightly.

Then, she raised her hand and led the way, guiding the two to a vacant table and handed them the menu.

Just then, a middle-aged woman shouted from the front desk:

"Lucy, hurry up, the guests at table 7 need more food."

"Got it, Mrs. Fonseca."

The waitress named Lucy turned her head to respond and then looked apologetically at the two of them.

"Sorry, the restaurant is really busy... Can you look at the menu and call me when you’re ready?"

"Yeah, go ahead, it’s okay."

Sunny Xiaoyu smiled.

Lucy responded with a grateful smile and hurried away. Only then did Polaris whisper:

"That waitress is a Transcendent, Sequence Seven [Mage]."

"Huh?"

Sunny Xiaoyu was very surprised.

"Why do you keep using Scout on everyone you meet..."

Polaris was left speechless again.

"Your focus is always so peculiar... Don’t you think it’s strange for a mid-sequence Transcendent to be working as a waitress here?"

"What’s strange about it... Soon, there will be two more mid-sequence Transcendents here washing dishes."

Sunny Xiaoyu said seriously.

Polaris took a deep breath and calmed himself down after a moment.

"Alright, even if that’s not strange... That waitress has over 50 points each in Charm and Luck. Do you know what that means?"

"What does it mean?"

For once, Sunny Xiaoyu cooperatively leaned in and asked in a low voice.

Her big eyes showed genuine curiosity, not looking fake at all.

Polaris reflexively leaned back, not wanting to appear too intimate with Sunny Xiaoyu, and after coughing, he explained in a deep voice:

"She must be an important person, hiding secrets on her. If we dig deeper, we might trigger a high-level side quest."

Sunny Xiaoyu nodded gently.

"So that girl named Lucy must not be simple..."

She said, turning her head to look at the beautiful figure on the other side of the restaurant, bustling between several tables, not at all like a mid-sequence Transcendent should.

"Let’s eat first. After eating, I’ll ask the owner if they’re hiring."

Sunny Xiaoyu withdrew her gaze and pushed the menu in front of Polaris. The latter couldn’t help but ask:

"Didn’t we just eat not long ago?"

"So what if I’m hungry again? You don’t eat, I’ll eat!"freeweɓnovel.cøm
