“Little brother, come again next time you need something, I’ll continue to give you a discount then.”
After being sent out of the shop by the girl, Lin Ye couldn’t help but show a wry smile on his face.
He had originally only intended to buy an ordinary wizard robe to get by, but after going in, he ended up spending over 3,000 yuan.
This made his already tight financial situation even worse.
“Sigh, now I owe Papa Ma over 2,000 yuan directly. It looks like I need to find a way to earn some money.”
As he said this, he remembered the business card the girl had just given him.
“Performing magic at a bar? That’s not a bad choice. At least I can monetize the abilities the system has given me.”
“Never mind, I’ll go back to school first.”
Holding the clothes he had just spent a fortune on, Lin Ye walked towards the bus stop.
What he didn't expect was that all along the way, people kept glancing at him, especially members of the opposite sex.
He could vaguely hear some girls discussing him.
“Wow, that guy is so handsome.”
“He really is handsome, it’s just his fashion sense doesn’t seem great.”
“So, there are handsome guys in real life too.”
“Suddenly, I feel that fashion and styling don’t really matter. As long as he’s handsome, he’d look good even draped in a rag.”
“If I were a few years younger, I’d definitely go ask for his contact information.”
......
Listening to these discussions, Lin Ye couldn’t help but curl his lips slightly.
“It seems like that 3,000 plus yuan was well spent. Her makeup and styling skills are truly amazing.”
“It’s a pity it’s not permanent; my hairstyle will be messed up after a night’s sleep. It would be great if it could be fixed.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a system notification sound rang out.
“Ding! Daily mission completed. You have received 100 magic gold coins.”
Hearing this notification, Lin Ye’s eyes couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise.
“Sure enough, even purchased cosplay props can be recognized by the system.”
“With these 100 magic gold coins, I should be able to buy that gold watch in the mysterious shop, right?”
Feeling a bit impatient, he quickly sped up his pace.
About forty minutes later, he returned to school by bus.
When he pushed open the dormitory door, he realized that none of his three roommates had returned.
“Hmm? Could it be that they all went to be dogs for the senior girls?”
“But that’s fine too.”
He casually locked the dormitory door, and the first thing he did was open the system panel, then opened the mysterious shop.
Looking at the gold watch, which was priced at only 100 magic gold coins, he didn’t hesitate at all and bought it directly.
The next second, a white light appeared in his hand, finally condensing into a golden pocket watch full of classical charm.
Touching the heavy gold watch in his hand, Lin Ye’s eyes were full of curiosity.
“Is this a magic item? It can’t really be made of pure gold, can it? If it’s all made of gold, it must be worth a lot of money.”
Of course, he was just saying that; he wouldn't sell such a precious item. With his current abilities, earning any amount of money in the future wouldn’t be a problem.
He could even get rich immediately if he were a bit bolder and committed some illegal acts, after all, the system backpack’s function was too powerful.
After examining the pocket watch up and down, he pretty much figured out how to use it.
Its essence was a transformation item that could store his various appearances. When needed, he only had to retrieve them and press the button on top, and he could instantly switch his appearance.
For example, if his clothes were accidentally damaged during a battle, he only needed to press a button, and he could instantly return to a complete state, including makeup and hairstyle, which could all be restored with one click.
As a noble mage, one needed to maintain elegance at all times.
Knowing how to use the pocket watch, Lin Ye once again put on the black suit.
He fastened the cloak, put on the black top hat, black bow tie, and a monocle, then placed the gold watch in his right pocket, revealing the golden watch chain.
After the complete change of attire, Lin Ye instantly transformed from an ordinary college student into a mysterious and elegant gentleman mage.
Coupled with his handsome face, which still had light makeup on, he was even impressed by his own appearance.
“Elegant, truly too elegant. This look alone makes him appear very professional.”
“Quickly save it first.”
After a series of exclamations, he took out the gold watch from his pocket, lightly pressed the button on it, and saved his current appearance.
From now on, when he needed it, he just had to select this appearance and press it again to instantly transform into this look.
After saving it, he immediately took off the clothes and accessories on him, and also removed the light makeup on his face and ruffled his hair.
After confirming that he had returned to his normal human form, he casually pressed the button on the gold watch.
The next second, he instantly transformed back into the elegant mage he had been moments ago.
Such a magical scene immediately filled Lin Ye with emotion.
“Magic items are indeed magic items. This is too amazing.”
“With this good thing, I won’t need to specially find someone to do my makeup anymore, and changing clothes can be done with one click. It’s a pity it can only save three appearances.”
After speaking, he pressed the button again, and he instantly transformed back into his normal state.
He played like this several times in a row until he heard a knock on the dormitory door. Only then did he change back into his normal appearance and went to open the dormitory door.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Li Chaoyang carrying a pile of food.
As soon as he entered the door, he looked at Lin Ye with a mischievous smile.
“What are you locking the door for in broad daylight, kid? I didn’t interrupt your flight, did I?”
“Am I that kind of person?” Lin Ye said solemnly.
“It’s fine, it doesn’t matter if you are. We’re all young people, and you don’t have a girlfriend, so it’s understandable.”
“I have a few boarding passes here, you can use them.”
“Thank you.”
“But then again, kid, have you gotten handsomer?” Li Chaoyang said, stroking his chin and looking him up and down.
“What kind of talk is that? I’ve always been this handsome, okay?”
“Hmm, that makes sense. Oh, right, here’s some food I brought for you. Consider it compensation. Eat quickly, it’ll get cold soon.”
Saying that, Li Chaoyang placed all the food he was carrying on Lin Ye’s desk.
Seeing the food, Lin Ye’s heart warmed.
His three roommates knew his financial situation wasn’t great, so they often helped him both openly and subtly.
He happened to be a bit hungry too.
Just as he sat down to eat, Li Chaoyang suddenly added.
“Oh, right, someone from the Literature and Arts Department just messaged me. They want you to go to the school auditorium at 6 PM to meet with them and briefly discuss what performance you’ll do at the evening gala. Also, there will be a simple rehearsal, so don’t forget to go.”
Hearing this, Lin Ye, who was eating, immediately glanced at the time.
“Damn it, you bastard, it’s already 5 o’clock, and you’re just telling me now!”
“Haha, I went on a date with my girlfriend and forgot about it.”
“These foods you brought, you didn’t just pack them because you two couldn’t finish them, did you?!”
“Hehe, not entirely. Some of them my girlfriend ordered but didn’t like to eat. Don’t worry, they’re all very clean and untouched,” Li Chaoyang said with a grin. “Eat quickly, don’t be late.”
Lin Ye devoured the food in front of him, wiped his mouth, and ran out of the dormitory.
