Looking at this deadly choice, any normal person would know better than to pick that thing.

Although the reward was quite generous, for some reason, this "Titanium Alloy Dog Eyes" perk made it feel like the system was up to no good.

He raised his eyes to look at the second option below.

"Option Two [White]: See that the other party is a reasonable person; it is better to be forgiving when possible.

Reward: 100,000 Gold Soul Coins."

He hadn't expected the white option to be at the bottom this time; it seemed they were sorted by the richness of the reward.

Overall, however, the first one was still better, but considering the disparity in strength between the two sides, he had to be careful.

He glanced at the male teacher opposite, who was holding the child down. The teacher's expression was extremely stern and he hadn't shown any favoritism despite the child being his own student.

Regarding this, Du Hao chose to follow his heart.

"Alright, alright, since you've apologized, I'll forgive you."

"Let's look forward to working together in the future." With that, Du Hao extended his right hand toward the boy, who was still bowing his head in apology.

The teacher revealed a smile at this. Clearly, he was satisfied with the outcome; both sides were happy, and the matter didn't end on a sour note.

Just as the two were about to finish their apologies and leave, Du Hao seemed to have thought of something. He hurriedly probed the teacher, "Excuse me, teacher! Is it mandatory for us to live in the dormitories here?"

The teacher, who had originally intended to take the brat home, turned back in confusion upon hearing Du Hao's question.

"Is there a problem with the dorms?"

"No, no, I just wanted to ask if it's possible to apply for a private room?"

"My... and my..." Before Du Hao could finish saying "sister," he felt a scorching gaze from the side.

Seeing this, Du Hao grinned and changed his wording, "I mean, my companion and I would like to stay in the same room. Is that possible?"

In the end, he wasn't thick-skinned enough to say "maid," so he used a more euphemistic term to summarize.

Zhu Zhuqing didn't say anything further, simply remaining quietly by Du Hao's side.

However, her gaze was incredibly intense, fixed on the back of Du Hao's head as if she might launch a sneak attack at any moment.

"The academy does have private dorms, but the price..." The teacher gave Du Hao and Zhu Zhuqing a subtle look as he finished.

After all, except for the children of nobles, no one with money to burn would waste it on special treatment when standard housing was already provided.

"Money is no object! Please help us process the application, teacher!" His words were firm.

For Du Hao, while he might have been frugal with his gold coins before, now...

Looking at the 100,000 Gold Soul Coins in his system inventory, he decided that from now on, he would eat well and live well! He'd drink a bowl of soup and throw another away!

Seeing this, the teacher didn't say anything more.

He dutifully led the one man and two women to the administrative office to arrange for a private dormitory.

Looking at the small, detached villa in front of him, Du Hao, who had already finished packing his luggage from Zhu Zhuqing's dormitory and was standing at the villa entrance, was drenched in sweat.

He stared, dumbfounded, as Zhu Zhuqing carried a massive pile of luggage while he himself held only a small bag of clothes.

"Zhu Zhuqing? Is this all your luggage?" Du Hao was stunned, looking at the load on Zhu Zhuqing's shoulders, which weighed at least four hundred pounds!

He had to keep in mind that ever since he had found Zhu Zhuqing, he had basically been taken care of by this perfect maid!

Although there were times he went on long trips and didn't return for days, it had never exceeded a week!

Even though he knew he would be studying at Notting Academy, he hadn't expected there to be so much luggage involved!

One had to remember that Holy Soul Village was not close to Notting City!

Faced with her young master's surprised expression, Zhu Zhuqing acted as if it were only natural.

"In order to take care of Master's daily life, Zhu Zhuqing has learned many things~" Zhu Zhuqing finished with a proud little expression.

The knowledge she had acquired over the years had long since surpassed that of an ordinary soul master, and that didn't even include all the miscellaneous literature she had read.

Just as the two were struggling to move their daily necessities up to the second-floor bedroom, a strange noise came from the direction of the door.

The two, who were busy tidying up the house, instinctively looked toward the entrance.

As they looked, they saw a pair of pink rabbit-ear decorations peeking out from the open door!

"Xiao Wu?" Du Hao, who was busy cleaning, called out tentatively toward the outside.

Realizing she had been discovered, Xiao Wu walked out, her face full of embarrassment.

She looked at the two people in the room with a sheepish expression.

"Um, what a coincidence~" Xiao Wu, looking awkward, raised her hand and gave a wave.

Du Hao set down his broom and looked at Xiao Wu, who was walking toward him, with a puzzled expression. "Why haven't you gone to Dorm Seven yet? Did you get lost again?"

Hearing Du Hao's question, Xiao Wu hurriedly waved her hands in defense. "No, no, it's just that over there..." By the end, she was tapping her index fingers together, looking rather aggrieved.

"It's just that I feel... their place isn't as nice as yours. Could I..." Xiao Wu cast a cautious glance at Du Hao. "Could I move in and live with you guys?"

"I feel like your room is quite big, so renting it to one more person should..." Her voice trailed off, clearly lacking confidence.

But the moment she thought about the environment in Dorm Seven, she felt 100 percent unwilling to live there.

After all, having seen such a luxurious dormitory, who could possibly settle for that dirty place filled with nothing but men?

Watching the fidgeting Xiao Wu, Du Hao felt a sudden urge to tease the little rabbit.

Event detected, please choose... Option One [White]: The bunny is so cute, what's the harm in letting her have her way? Kidnap her directly... Reward: Century-level Experience (Staff)! Option Two [Black]: Hehehe, want to move in? How about looking into the maid profession!! Reward: Century-level Experience (Sword)!

Looking at the system panel that had popped up, along with the two black-and-white choices above, Du Hao chuckled inwardly.

As for the two reward options, he only glanced at them before making up his mind.

If he were to choose normally, his green onion was indeed somewhat suited for use as a staff, but... he, Du, did not walk the beaten path! He wanted to play with a sword!

"Since you want to move in so badly, it's not entirely out of the question." Du Hao wore a faint smile as he spoke unhurriedly.

"Really?" Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled, and she looked at the young man before her with a face full of anticipation.

"However..." Du Hao looked at Xiao Wu, who hadn't brought a single piece of luggage, and asked in a lingering tone, "I'm curious, you didn't even bring simple bedding, so what will you use at night?"

"Ah? This..." As a little rabbit who had just come out of the Star Dou Forest, how could she know about such things?

Just getting enrolled had been difficult enough; how could she have thought about all these complicated details?

Seeing Xiao Wu's troubled expression, Du Hao kindly offered a suggestion.

"How about you become a maid here for me?"

"If you do that, I can help you pay your tuition, and you won't have to go work as a Work-Study Student." Du Hao continued his temptation, trying to lead the rabbit into the abyss.

Not far away, Zhu Zhuqing, who had been wiping the glass, silently put down her rag.

She walked over with an unfriendly gaze.

She placed a hand quietly on Du Hao's shoulder, stared at the back of his head with murderous eyes, and asked in a chilling tone, "My dear little master?"

"What exactly are you planning to do??"
