Chapter 211: Help Me Put On the Ring【Side Activity Chapter】(April 4250 Monthly Ticket Bonus)

Seeing off by the camp players, Qin Chuan and Yue Li walked out of the camp.

"How did you start recruiting people in the camp?" Thinking back to just now, Qin Chuan couldn't help laughing.

"I just happened to hear them say there are already many guilds in the camp, but some players haven't chosen to join a guild." Yue Li also laughed, "I thought that since they haven't joined, maybe they could join our guild."

"Although there's no restriction on player nationality, from aspects like communication convenience, choosing Yan Huang players is definitely better." Yue Li looked at Qin Chuan with a hint of pride, "See, I did a good job on my duty, right?"

Qin Chuan froze for a moment, then realized that Yue Li's "duty" referred to the guild recruitment work she had asked him for yesterday.

"You did great!" Qin Chuan went along with it, deliberately speaking with a hint of leader's tone, "It seems the guild chief needs to give you a reward."

"Pfft~"

Yue Li covered her mouth and smiled, looking at the pretentious Qin Chuan, a smile and a hint of teasing appearing at the corners of her eyes, "Then what reward will the guild chief give me?"

"This." Qin Chuan smiled, took Yue Li's hand, and lightly placed the prepared Eagle Ring in her palm.

Looking at that azure-blue ring with a soaring eagle engraving, Yue Li blinked slightly, then a flush instantly flew across her cheeks.

The ring…

Luo actually gave me a ring…

Thinking about what the ring signified, Yue Li's face grew hotter, even her ears felt burning, her head a bit dizzy, her mouth slightly opened, she stammered without speaking.

Meanwhile, Qin Chuan, still unaware of the issue, casually explained, "This Eagle Ring was also obtained from Akya Eagle Valley; it can summon a falcon servant, useful for scouting or probing dangerous areas."

"Since it's also related to the Wind System, it's more suitable for you to use than for me."

"You..." Yue Li's voice trembled somewhat; looking at Qin Chuan explaining the Eagle Ring's effect and why he gave it to her, a strange thought arose in her heart.

This guy… turned out to be giving the ring as ordinary equipment?

A feeling of laughing and crying welled up; the intense agitation that had almost left her speechless now receded a bit because of this.

Clenching her open palm, feeling the ring in her hand, Yue Li's eyes flickered with a mix of shy joy.

No matter what, this is the ring Luo gave her.

She liked it very much.

She pulled Qin Chuan's hand over and placed the ring lightly in his palm, just as Qin Chuan had earlier handed the ring to her.

"Um… you don't like it?" Qin Chuan's words trailed off, somewhat surprised.

"No." Yue Li shook her head, her voice soft.

"Help me… put on the ring."

"Oh okay." Relieved, Qin Chuan grabbed Yue Li's hand, pinched the ring to put it on her, but suddenly his motion paused.

Wait…

"Something feels off… this action feels a bit like…"

Only now did Qin Chuan gradually realize, he lifted his head to meet the girl's downcast gaze; the shyness, nervousness, and delight hidden in her eyes flowed into his heart as their eyes met.

"Oh no! It seems I gave the wrong thing!" In his view, this was a piece of decent strength and suitable equipment for Yue Li.

But in Yue Li's eyes, this was a ring! Quickly realizing this, Qin Chuan hesitated only 0.01 second, then took the girl's hand and carefully placed the ring on her.

However, the hand gripping the ring seemed to tremble badly; Yue Li's slender fingers failed several times to slip smoothly through the ring.

Yue Li's lips curved; from the motion she sensed the boy's hidden tension in lowering his head and avoiding eye contact.

"Finally figured it out, huh? Serves you right for scaring me just now!" After finally managing to put on the Eagle Ring, Qin Chuan relaxed as if he'd just gone through a fierce battle; he dared not look at the girl ahead, unconsciously turning his head aside, "Come on, let's go to the secret realm."

"Okay." Yue Li spoke softly, turning her head to the other side, her peripheral vision always on her hand wearing the Eagle Ring.

The two sat on Xiao Qing's back and set off again.

But the two, who had been chatting and laughing all along the journey, were now unusually quiet.

Sensing the strange atmosphere, Qin Chuan lightly coughed and shifted the topic, "Did you receive the admission notice and the early university enrollment notice?"

"I did." Yue Li collected herself, nodded, and replied, "I'll be going to school to enroll in a few days."

But upon thinking of something, a flush rose again on her cheeks.

"In two or three days, I'll get to see the real Luo at Yan Da!" "It seems all universities' extraordinary majors are about the same." Qin Chuan nodded in understanding, "Guangdong University is like that, and Yan Da is like that."

"These past two days I've been tidying up my place; once I go to Yan Da, I won't renew the rental. I'm not short on money now, maybe I can buy a unit? Besides…" Qin Chuan spoke of his plans, and the earlier flirtatious feeling gradually faded from his heart.

Yue Li sat to the side, quietly listening to the boy's words; occasionally she'd think of an amusing scene, and her lips would turn up.

This idiot never doubted himself…

"By then, wearing a voice‑changing mask at Yan Da, he'll definitely not notice me!"

"Boom——"

The sound of an axe splitting long wood carried far from the already‑determined site of the Luoyue Guild.

Tie Chui, gripping the axe, skillfully processed a piece of wood over one meter long and wider than two palms; beside him, large quantities of already‑processed timber were piled up in dense stacks.

Not far on the other side of his body, amidst the bustle of a golden and a fiery Spirit Beast, a simple forge furnace gradually took shape.

They coordinated very smoothly, obviously not their first time doing this work.

"Uncle Tie Chui, this is new timber!"

Evelyn shouted, hands in her pockets, walking toward Tie Chui.

Behind her followed two Elite Tier Spirit Beasts whose bodies had grown further; now acting as porters, they carried large bundles of already‑bound timber on their backs.

Looking at Tie Chui still not finished splitting the previous batch of wood, Evelyn's face showed a bit of pride, "Uncle Tie Chui, I won, okay~"

"Good good good, Evelyn won." Tie Chui spoke in a soothing, child‑coaxing tone, while his eyes showed a hint of relief.

Although Evelyn said she was helping only because of his request, once she got busy, this twelve‑year‑old girl was extraordinarily earnest.

Obviously she wasn't just helping herself; she had also come to identify with the Luoyue Guild.

"Evelyn, how do you feel about the Luoyue Guild now?" Tie Chui asked while splitting a log, casually.

"Who knows, but since Uncle Tie Chui chose this place, I have no choice but to treat it as my new home." Evelyn said, chewing a grass stalk, her tone somewhat vague.

Tie Chui laughed.

Ah, this is truly an Evelyn-style answer~ A voice drifted from afar, interrupting their conversation and laughter.

"Is anyone there? Is this the Luo Yue Guild?"

A figure approached, and upon seeing the two Iron Hammers, stopped.

"Finally found someone."——
