My Evil System

Chapter 133 Egh . . . Extortion?

[BONUS]

As I roamed my eyes, I saw the different representatives of every city and kingdom from the VIP block.

Brighid, Demeter, and Edward's eyes were all on Jin, Lina, and Amara.

Their eyes were like a hawk, looking for their victims. The other players were trying their best to catch their attention, but their efforts were all in vain, though.

Those three powerhouses only had an eye for those BUG players. Even if they danced naked in there, they won't catch their attention.

<Does Host want to have a side quest about them dancing naked in broad daylight? It would be funny~>

I ignored it.

The sad fact was that Amara was only sitting in the corner. Lina was shooting in the range, with her lethargic face, consumed in her own world, while Jin was only there because of Lina. He was leaning against the wall in the corner with folded hands and closed eyes like he was sleeping.

The three weren't doing anything but the others wanted them because they were BUG players and ignored those who were hard working.

Such was life.

My attention then flickered to Edgar, who was the combat teacher.

He was teaching the newbies, including Edie, Ben, and Jo, and there was bound to be favoritism and unfairness in that class.

A good thing that I didn't come.

Edgar was having the newbie fight with each other, and the winner would have 10 CR from the loser's points. Plus, 10 CR Bonus points coming from him.

Needless to say, Edi, Ben, and Jo had the best day in their life as well as the best days ahead.

It must be nice to have someone at your back at school. Someone with authority that would surely make your life easier.

An hour passed, but it seemed like nothing was really going on. Most of the players down there were just showing off.

Even Edgar was showing off by beating some newbies. Even flexing his muscles to the ladies.

I shook my head and decided to go to town and buy take-outs while the students were still at school. Saved me the trouble of eating from the cafeteria.

I am never going to eat there again.

When I was in the market, instead of just buying take-outs, I went on a shopping spree. I bought all sorts of dresses, clothes, towels, toiletries, and some make-up as well that the nobles used, like powder and rogue.

All of this was for the girls back home.

I was together yesterday with Thomas so I couldn't buy anything passed 1000 gil. But now that the players were at school and I was alone, nothing could hinder me from spending my gil.

<Host means that his other self's gil>

I ignored it and moved along.

By the time I finished with all the stalls in the market, the sun was beginning to set, and my inventory was almost full.

If not for my inventory limit, I would surely buy more.

<Host could always ask Daedalus to build a Treasury, and it would automatically become your second inventory. You can store all kinds of equipment and items there.>

So it functioned like a Material Storage. Any materials I have was automatically stored in the Material Storage and were no longer stuck in my inventory, making way for more space.

<That's right>

I immediately message Athena to let Daedalus know about building the Treasury. I could directly message Daedalus, but I felt like he was angry at me whenever I ordered him around.

He was nice to Athena, and I feel like he would get it done immediately if it was Athena who ordered him.

Having my own territory was rather convenient now that I thought about it. I could communicate with my token as well as with Florin, Megu, Yuko, and little piggy.

I could also store and retrieve my materials in the Material Storage with just a press of a button. And if the Treasury was built, I would no longer have a problem with my limited inventory.

Now, all I had to do was wait for the Treasury icon to appear in HAVEN's menu.

Buying all that I needed and storing them temporarily in my inventory, I whistled my way back to the Academy.

I arrived just as the sun began its descent into the horizon.

I had just reached the entrance of the Academy when a voice called out to me from behind.

"Hey, you're here!"

Looking back, I saw three older players who had been here in this world for two months already. And from the information I gathered using [Evil Eyes], they were my seniors since they'd been in this Academy for four days now.

Based on the snarky grin on their faces, I would say that they were up to no good, so I hurried inside the Academy.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I was walking the usual path towards the dorm. I took a peek at my back and found that those three men were gone.

My heart raced, and when I steadied my eyes forward, they were right in front of me.

They must have used their skill, and I was about to use mine when they warned me.

"Don't do anything funny, or we will announce to all the players in this school that you're rich," player 1 said.

"R-rich?" I pretended not to know.

Player 2 chuckled. "Don't try to deny it. We have acquired from a . . . very reliable source that you're rich. You even went to a restaurant to take your meal."

"And went on a shopping spree in the market," added player 3.

They even knew that? Did these guys followed me?

<Looks like it>

But I was more concerned about this 'reliable source' of theirs.

There were only four people who knew about me having gil. Edie, Jo, Ben and Thomas.

I found it hard to believe that those three would announce to other players about their gold source. If I was them, I would totally keep it to myself.

Those three would do anything to be ahead of the other players so it was impossible for them to tell about my gil.

However, I found it harder to believe that it was Thomas.

<There was a possibility that he did so to save himself from the three. That kid is easily bullied, so he might use you as a scapegoat~>

<He is acting strange since this morning as well~>

I ignored it and asked the three. "What do you want?"

The three snickered, and they even knocked their knuckles with each other like they hit the jackpot.

"Nothing much. Since you're rich, then give us ten thousand gil each to seal our lips."
