    Chapter 126

    William didn’t think for long before nodding in agreement, “Okay, I have no other candidates. If you think it’s okay, then let’s go with this Robin.”

    He said this to Yan Yunqing, his chin raised high, completely embodying the arrogant young prince persona from anime. Even more coincidentally, this guy was also a little blonde, unable to escape the blonde-arrogant trope.

    Yan Yunqing had already figured out this little prince’s personality back in Bato Vita, so he wasn’t too surprised that William agreed to join the team so quickly.

    “Then it’s settled. Let’s go ask this Robin if he’s willing to join the team,” Yan Yunqing decided.

    Demetrius, who hadn’t said a word from beginning to end: ?

    Hello, does anyone care about his opinion? Wasn’t it agreed that everyone had to agree before inviting a fifth person?

    Demetrius felt like he was being ignored, but that was in line with his persona. After agonizing for a while, he decided to accept his fate.

    Forget it, he was already ‘forced’ to join his overly enthusiastic roommate’s team. Since he couldn’t quit anyway, his opinion didn’t matter.

    Demetrius continued to shut himself off.

    It wasn’t that Yan Yunqing had forgotten about Demetrius, but this guy was completely an “unspoken” person, even more so than Adriel he met in Bato Vita. Asking him for half a day wouldn’t even get a fart out of him… uh, wouldn’t get any meaningful answer, so asking was pointless.

    So Yan Yunqing simply didn’t ask, assuming that if Demetrius had any objections, he would definitely bring them up, and directly decided on the final team member.

    “Should I directly ask for Robin’s opinion, or give you Robin’s account?” Rowena thought for a moment and added, “I think it’s better if you ask, you’re the captain after all.”

    William remained silent, seemingly already accepting this fact.

    And Demetrius was even less likely to stand up and deny it.

    “Give it to me,” Yan Yunqing thought for a moment. Since everyone had tacitly agreed that he was the captain, it was indeed better for him to ask.

    Rowena tapped on her personal communication device a few times, and Yan Yunqing received a friend request. He clicked it open and was stunned.

    Instead of a friend request prompt, it directly entered a chat window.

    He actually had this person as a friend?

    As soon as he saw the name, Yan Yunqing paused.

    [AAA Selling Potions Weapons Alchemy Materials etc.]

    Wasn’t this the otherworld merchant? The overly enthusiastic guy who grabbed his leg the moment he entered the school, shouting for him to add him as a friend?

    That person was actually Robin?

    Yan Yunqing felt he had to reconsider whether or not to let Robin join the team.

    He rubbed his forehead and thought for a while. Rowena, seeing him not moving for a long time, was about to ask if something was wrong when Yan Yunqing started sending messages to Robin.

    [Z]. Robin?

    [AAA Selling Potions Weapons Alchemy Materials etc.]: Good afternoon, darling! Is there anything you need? My little flower has given birth these past few days, so everything is 98% off! Don’t miss out on the great deal!

    [Z]: Little flower is…?

    [AAA Selling Potions Weapons Alchemy Materials etc.]: It’s my dear child!

    [AAA Selling Potions Weapons Alchemy Materials etc.]: Haha, just kidding, it’s the squeak rat raised in the potion room. It just gave birth to a litter a few days ago, so there’s another batch of experimental subjects to test potions on.

    [Z]: …

    [AAA Selling Potions Weapons Alchemy Materials etc.]: Eh… this note? Ah ah! I remember, it’s that dark gold badge big shot I met near the small villa dormitory!

    [AAA Selling Potions Weapons Alchemy Materials etc.]: Big shot, is there anything you need? Big orders get discounts!

    Yan Yunqing was slightly diverted by this sentence.

    [Z]: How much of a discount?

    [AAA Selling Potions Weapons Alchemy Materials etc.]: 97%!

    [Z]: …

    [Z]: You’re really stingy.

    Yan Yunqing was starting to regret it a little. Was he really correct to agree to choose a real person to join the team? He moved his fingers and changed Robin’s string of names into a note.

    [Robin Little Bird]: 9.7 is already cheap, big shot! I basically sell these things at cost price, I don’t make any money at all. Any cheaper and I’ll be losing money!

    [Robin Little Bird]: How about it, big shot? Whatever you want, just say it. My inventory here is very plentiful! Good quality and cheap, honest and reliable!

    Yan Yunqing almost followed Robin’s words, opened Robin’s personal space, and browsed through those cheap and good things he mentioned, but he barely reacted and realized that he wasn’t here to buy things.

    [Z]: No, I’m not here to buy things.

    [Z]: Do you have a team for the upcoming first-year outdoor training?

    [Robin Little Bird]: Outdoor training? No.

    He replied blankly, then suddenly realized what Yan Yunqing meant, and immediately followed with a shocked message.

    [Robin Little Bird]: Wait wait wait! Big shot, you’re asking me this because… you want to pull me into your team?

    [Robin Little Bird]: I shouldn’t be mistaken, right???

    [Z]: Yes, because someone recommended you to me, so I’m asking. Do you have a team? If not, would you like to consider joining my team?

    Yan Yunqing casually sent the simple information of the other four members in the team. Robin seemed to have been punched hard, and didn’t react for a moment.

    Yan Yunqing sent a question mark.

    Silence.

    “How is it?” Rowena asked.

    Yan Yunqing shook his head: “He hasn’t replied, maybe he’s busy?”

    Rowena was strange: “What could he be busy with at this time? It’s not like he’s in class…”

    As soon as she finished speaking, her personal communication device rang, dinging like it was being bombarded with messages.

    Rowena took out her personal communication device and looked at it, amused: “Oh, he sent me a message. Team leader, wait a moment, I’ll talk to him.”

    Yan Yunqing:.

    Team leader something… cough.

    Kind of embarrassing.

    After Rowena sent messages for a while, she smiled and said to Yan Yunqing, “It’s settled, this kid thought you were fooling him, so he ran over to ask me.”

    As expected, after Rowena finished speaking, Yan Yunqing’s personal communication device received Robin’s message again.

    [Robin Little Bird]: Big shot big shot!!! I’m willing! I do!! Please be sure to let me join your team QAQ

    [Robin Little Bird]: Not to mention reconnaissance and logistics, even if you want me to pour tea, serve water, eat with you, sleep with you, or warm your bed! Ov<!

    Yan Yunqing tactically leaned back.

    What should he do if he regrets it again?

    [Z]: …Thank you, no need to warm the bed.

    [Z]: When are you free? Let's have a meal with everyone on the team to get to know each other. If there are any changes, it's still convenient before the personnel list is submitted.

    [Robin Little Bird]: What? Does that mean I might still be kicked out QAQ?

    [Robin Little Bird]: I'm free anytime, big shot!

    [Z]: …Then come over now. 『Address: …』Here

    [Robin Little Bird]: Got it!

    Before long, a brown-haired teenager hurried into the restaurant where they were, panting as he looked around. When he saw Rowena, his eyes lit up and he hurried towards their direction.

    Yan Yunqing recognized at a glance that this was the guy who gave him a sliding knee the first day he came over. He wanted to say hello, but the other party gave another skilled sliding knee and hugged his thigh.

    Yan Yunqing:…?

    "Big shot!" Robin looked at Yan Yunqing affectionately, using an operatic tone to shout at Yan Yunqing, "We meet again. From the first time we met, I had a vague feeling: we must have a deep connection, our encounter is destined by heaven, arranged by fate, we…"

    "Okay."

    Yan Yunqing covered his mouth, and casually lifted him up, "Don't say such terrible things, I don't want to have some inexplicable bond with a man, let alone one arranged by heaven."

    Demetrius, huddled in the corner, in an unnoticed angle, a dark light flashed across his eyes.

    Robin was obediently lifted up, winked at Yan Yunqing, and when Yan Yunqing released his mouth, he said again: "It doesn't matter, I'm willing to become a woman for you, I still have a batch of transgender potions that haven't been sold, one bottle can last for seven days!"

    Yan Yunqing: …

    Yan Yunqing was silent again, he found that he encountered Robin, the number of silences was too many.

    As a result, Robin rubbed his hands, "But since it's for the big shot, can you settle the cost of using the transgender potion? Not much, just…"

    Rowena punched Robin on the shoulder, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, the team leader is willing to let you in based on your ability, I won't be polite to you if you cheat him again."

    Robin was wronged in a second, the expression on his face was extremely rich, "Okay, big sister, little brother knows."

    Rowena looked at Yan Yunqing apologetically, "Sorry, this guy is just this kind of character, team leader, don't mind too much."

    Yan Yunqing didn't mind, but he found that Rowena and Robin's relationship seemed very close, not like just ordinary friends, "You are…?"

    Rowena smiled a little embarrassedly, "This guy can be considered my younger brother. We came from the same village, barely considered relatives."

    William complained: "No wonder you wanted this guy to come in, so he's your brother."

    As soon as this remark came out, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became much more awkward.

    Yan Yunqing rubbed his forehead in his heart, this little friend really didn't have any emotional intelligence, can these words be said casually in front of people?

    Robin looked at Rowena, and then at William, his face didn't show any anger, still smiling shamelessly, "Hey? Really? Big sister, you actually miss me so much! I'm so touched! Wuwu!"

    He pretended to wipe a tear, "How about this, I can sell you the sharpness potion you wanted last time a little cheaper, let me calculate… just 96%! How about it?"

    Yan Yunqing heard this number and couldn't help but ask: "Didn't you say that 97% off is already the cost price? Any lower and you'll be losing money?"

    Robin winked at Yan Yunqing again, very twisted and contrived: "97 is indeed the cost price, but Rowena is also my big sister, she's thinking of me so much, I definitely have to think of her too, a little loss is fine!"

    Yan Yunqing: "…Then you might as well just give it away for free."

    Robin shook his head repeatedly: "How can that be, even biological siblings have to settle accounts clearly! What's more, we're just siblings from the same village, as a businessman, I can't do loss-making business!"
