It seems too early to say that.
Looking at the cloaked stranger who appeared in his room, Gu Shi silently clenched the staff in his hand. He wondered if the feng shui of the room he rented was bad, as it attracted so many people.
"Who are you and why are you in my room?"
Gu Shi, who was standing at the entrance, was in a stalemate with the stranger standing in the shadows for a while. Seeing that he hadn't spoken, he spoke first.
The man finally spoke. His voice was a little strange, and there was a roar from his throat similar to that of a wild animal. "Hand over all the money you have."
"It's you!"
Gu Shi remembered this voice. It was the voice of the man who bumped into Harlan that day and dragged them into the muddy water.
"You remember me? That's even better. Hand over the money quickly, or don't blame me for being rude."
As he spoke, the man took an attacking stance, and the sharp claws on his hands were exposed to Gu Shi's sight.
Orc?
Seeing the pair of hands that were completely different from those of humans, Gu Shi recognized the identity of the guy in front of him as an orc, and it seemed that he was a canine orc.
No wonder he was able to recognize Harlan that day. It turned out that it was because his nose was particularly sensitive.
Of course, Gu Shi couldn't be threatened by him so easily. He just raised his staff to launch a magic attack on this guy, but he suddenly fell down.
???
What’s going on? He hasn’t even had a chance to do anything yet. This guy must be trying to scam me.
Gu Shi was shocked by the inexplicable actions of the orc in front of him. He poked the orc's head with the bottom of his staff uncertainly, but there was still no response.
"Did he really faint?"
Gu Shi didn't know what to say.
He stepped over the orc lying on the ground, walked to the window and opened the curtains. When the bright light came in, he could see the orc's face clearly.
The cloak that the orc was wearing had slipped off due to his fainting movement, revealing two furry ears on his head and dense scars on his skin.
This ear and this color combination suddenly reminded Gu Shi of a German Shepherd he once raised.
They are the family members who grew up with him and will always occupy a place in his heart.
However, the lifespan of humans and dogs is different. When he was 12 years old, the German Shepherd's life came to an end. Gu Shi was sad for a long time.
Because he thought of it, Gu Shi also felt a little sympathy for the guy lying on the ground.
"You're lucky you look a bit like it, otherwise I would have thrown you out."
Gu Shi dragged the orc lying on the ground to the side and gave him a bottle of healing potion. He also placed a small bag of gold coins next to his hand, then packed up his things in the room and left the hotel.
After encountering this accident, Gu Shi finally realized that he was probably in conflict with the city of Canora, so it would be better for him to leave as soon as possible.
He rented a room in this hotel for a total of ten days, and the lease would expire in two days. After such a long time, the orc should have woken up no matter what.
Orcs are naturally thick-skinned and have strong recovery abilities, not to mention that Gu Shi also gave him a healing potion. If he can't wake up, he'll be unlucky if he's discovered by the boss.
Shaking his head and putting the matter behind him, Gu Shi headed for the teleportation tower without hesitation, randomly selected the next destination, and set off in a quick and decisive manner.
Perhaps it was because Gu Shi had used up all his bad luck in Ganora City, and in the following time he finally got his wish and returned to his ordinary adventurous life.
Time flies, and before he knew it, Gu Shi's vacation was coming to an end. Thinking of the previous agreement with Cheng Xuqing and others, Gu Shi deliberately returned to school a few days in advance.
As soon as he returned to the base, Gu Shi noticed the difference in the surrounding atmosphere. Upon closer inspection, he saw red lanterns hanging everywhere and the Spring Festival couplets in front of the gate had been neatly posted.
When he returned to school through the teleportation array, the New Year atmosphere became even stronger.
Because Congleton School of Magic started on January 1st, I spent the New Year's Eve in the school in the past few years. Although I received blessings from others in advance, it was still a bit lonely.
However, because there are so many people participating in activities outside this year, the school has already announced that it will prepare a full week of New Year activities for everyone, hoping that everyone can enjoy the joy of the New Year.
This is also the reason why Cheng Xuqing and the others came back early when they had a meeting. When it comes to New Year celebrations, it feels more festive when it’s lively and bustling.
The four people in their dormitory have been apart for the past year, so they can take this opportunity to have a reunion dinner together and talk about their experiences over the past year.
Gu Shi was infected by the happy festive atmosphere. He pushed open the door of the dormitory while humming a cheerful tune, but he was unexpectedly shocked by the scene behind the door.
Gu Shi asked in surprise: "What are you doing?"
As soon as he opened the door, he found that half of the dormitory had been flooded with a sea of balloons, and the three people in the middle were still making new balloons continuously.
"Ah, Gu Shi! You're back just in time. Come, come and help us."
After hearing Gu Shi's voice, Cheng Xuqing turned around in surprise, "A wind mage must be able to blow up balloons very quickly."
"What are you thinking about? I haven't learned this kind of magic." Gu Shi retorted as he walked into the dormitory cautiously, fearing that he would accidentally step on a few balloons.
"So what's going on with these balloons?"
Zhao Zhize explained: "Cheng Xuqing was short of money, so he accepted the task issued by the school to help prepare things for the New Year.
He ended up with so many tasks that he couldn't even remember them all. This morning, he suddenly realized one of them was due that evening, and now he's scrambling to catch up."
"I don't know what this guy was thinking. He accepted a mission to make 1,000 balloons in one go. We've been here with him for over an hour, and there are still so many left."
Qi Yu pointed to the basket of uninflated balloons beside him, his tone full of resentment.
Gu Shi looked at their busy appearance and sighed, "Hey, let me help you pack up these blown balloons, otherwise the dormitory will be full soon."
After using the space ring to collect all the balloons in the dormitory, Gu Shi also joined the other three people in the balloon blowing team. The four of them worked together and finally got the job done before dinner.
Qi Yu stood up and stretched, "I'm so tired, Cheng Xuqing, you have to treat the three of us to a big dinner today."
Cheng Xuqing patted his chest and said, "OK, I'll go to the cafeteria now."
Gu Shi asked him, "Where should these balloons be sent?"
"Just send it directly to the auditorium, thank you."
…
After a lot of trouble, the four of them finally had a sumptuous dinner happily.
