Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops-Chapter 205 Help me... put the ring on [Peripheral Activity Chapter] (April additional update for 4250 Monthly Tickets)
As players from the campsite saw them off, Qin Chuan and Yue Li left the confines of the grounds.
"Why did you start recruiting people at the campsite?" Qin Chuan couldn’t help but laugh, thinking back to the scene just now.
"I happened to overhear that there were already many guilds in the campsite, but there were still some players who hadn’t chosen to join one," Yue Li also smiled, "I thought if they haven’t joined, maybe they might be interested in our guild."
"Although there’s no restriction on player nationality, for the sake of convenience in communication and other factors, choosing Yanhuang players is definitely better." Yue Li looked at Qin Chuan with a bit of pride, seeking approval, "You see, I did my job well, didn’t I?"
Qin Chuan was taken aback for a moment before he realized what Yue Li meant by "my job"—she was referring to the guild recruitment task she had taken on from him yesterday.
"You did a great job!" Qin Chuan went with the flow, deliberately using a tone tinged with an air of leadership, "It seems that I, as the president, need to give you a reward."
"Pfft~"
Yue Li covered her mouth, laughing. She looked at Qin Chuan, who was acting the part, with amusement and a hint of teasing in her eye, "Then, what reward does the president wish to give me?"
"This." Qin Chuan said with a laugh, taking one of Yue Li’s hands and gently placed the pre-prepared Eagle Ring into her palm.
Yue Li stared at the cyan gold ring with an eagle engraving, a slight shock passed over her, and then a blush touched her cheeks instantaneously.
A ring...
Luoyue actually gave me a ring...
Thinking of the symbolism behind a ring, Yue Li’s face grew hotter, even her ear tips felt scorching, her head a bit dizzy. Her lips parted slightly, wordless.
On the other hand, Qin Chuan hadn’t realized the issue, and spontaneously began to explain, "This Eagle Ring is also something obtained from the Akyar Eagle Valley. It can summon an eagle servant, which is very useful for scouting or probing dangerous areas."
"Since it’s related to the Wind Attribute as well, it’s more suitable for you to use it than for me..."
"You..." Yue Li’s voice trembled a bit as she looked at Qin Chuan, who was explaining the function of the Eagle Ring and why he was giving it to her. A strange thought bubbled up in her heart.
This guy... Did he just treat the ring as a piece of ordinary equipment?
A mixture of laughter and tears surged in her heart, and the intense emotion that had almost left her speechless now somewhat subsided because of this revelation.
Clenching her spread hand, feeling the weight of the ring in her palm, a tinge of joy mixed with shyness sparkled in Yue Li’s eyes.
No matter what, this was a ring given to her by Luoyue.
She liked it very much.
She took Qin Chuan’s hand, and just as he had done, Yue Li gently placed the ring in his palm.
"Uh... Don’t you like it?" Qin Chuan’s narration came to an abrupt halt, surprised.
"No," Yue Li shook her head, her voice soft.
"Help me... put on the ring."
"Oh, okay." Relieved, Qin Chuan took Yue Li’s hand, pinching the ring as if to put it on her, when suddenly he paused.
Wait a minute...
Something isn’t quite right?
The gesture felt somewhat like...
It was only now that Qin Chuan, gradually becoming aware, lifted his gaze to meet the girl’s slightly downcast eyes. The shyness, nervousness, and joy hidden in the girl’s eyes flowed into his heart as their eyes met.
Oh no! I think I gave the wrong impression!
In his eyes, it was a strong piece of equipment that was suitable for Yue Li.
But in Yue Li’s eyes, it was a ring!
Qin Chuan quickly realized this, and after only a 0.01-second hesitation, he carefully put the ring on the girl’s finger.
Yet his hand, holding the ring, seemed to tremble severely, as Yue Li’s delicate fingers struggled to slip through the ring band several times.
Yue Li’s lips curved into a smile, sensing the concealed nervousness of the youth from his action, as he hung his head and avoided eye contact.
So you’ve finally caught on?
Serves you right! That’ll teach you to give me a scare just now!
Finally, after managing to put on the Eagle Ring, Qin Chuan felt as if he had gone through an intense battle. His body and mind relaxed, he dared not look at the girl before him and couldn’t help but turn his head to one side, "Let’s go, off to the Secret Realm."

"Okay." Yue Li replied softly, turning her head to the other side, but her peripheral vision stayed on her hand wearing the Eagle Ring.
The two sat on top of Xiao Qing and set out again.
However, the two who used to chat and laugh along the way were now exceptionally quiet.
Realizing that the atmosphere was quite strange, Qin Chuan cleared his throat and shifted the topic, "Did you receive your university admission notice and the notice to report to school early?"
"I did," Yue Li steadied her spirit and nodded in response, "I have to report to school in a few days."
Yet, thinking of one thing, a tinge of red crept onto her cheeks again.
In just two or three days, she would meet the real Luo at Yan University!
"It seems that the Transcendent specialties of all universities are pretty much the same." Qin Chuan understood and nodded, "Yue Mountain University does it like that, and so does Yan University."
"During these days, I’ve been tidying up at home. Once I go to Yan University, I won’t renew the lease for the apartment. I’m not short on money now, maybe I could buy a place? Besides that…" Qin Chuan talked about his plans, the tenderness of before gradually fading from his heart.
Yue Li sat by his side, quietly listening to the young man’s words, only occasionally thinking of an interesting scene and her lips curved into a smile.
This idiot has no suspicion of me at all...
When I wear the Fake Voice Mask to Yan University, there’s no way he would recognize me!

"Thud—"
The sound of an axe splitting wood rang out, carrying far from the site that had been earmarked for the Luoyue Guild.
Iron Hammer, carrying his axe, skillfully processed a piece of wood over a meter long and wider than two palms. Around him, a large quantity of neatly arranged wood had already been stacked.
Not far on the other side of his body, with the bustle of a Gold and a Fire Spiritual Beast, a simple forge was gradually taking shape.
They cooperated with each other very proficiently, obviously not doing this kind of work for the first time.
"Uncle Iron Hammer, here’s the new wood!"
Evelyn shouted as she walked up to Iron Hammer, hands in her pockets.
Behind her, two Elite Rank Spiritual Beasts, now grown in size, followed as if they were beasts of burden, carrying a large amount of bundled wood on their backs.
Seeing Iron Hammer still working on the previous batch of wood, Evelyn had a somewhat smug look on her face, "Uncle Iron Hammer, I won!"
"Alright, alright, Evelyn won," Iron Hammer responded in a way one might indulge a child, while a look of contentment appeared in his eyes.
Although Evelyn claimed that she was only willing to help because of his request, when it came down to getting busy, this twelve-year-old girl was extremely serious.
Clearly, she was not just helping for his sake, but also felt a sense of belonging to the Luoyue Guild.
"Evelyn, what do you think of the Luoyue Guild now?" Iron Hammer asked casually after splitting a piece of wood.
"Who knows, but since Uncle Iron Hammer chose this place, I guess I’ll treat it as my new home," Evelyn spoke with a straw in her mouth, her tone slightly muffled.
Iron Hammer laughed.
Ah, that’s so Evelyn’s style of answer~
A voice drifted from afar, interrupting their banter.
"Is anyone there? Is this the Luoyue Guild?"
A figure approached and stopped upon seeing the two.
"Finally found someone."
