136: The building is full of evil spirits!

The red-haired girl's employee ID was pinned crookedly on her apron, and the electronic ordering device beeped an alarm for the third time:

[Customer Complaint]

Order No. 0971: Why is the Mango Pomelo Sago hot?

Manager's Message: Student Ignis, this is the third induction cooker you've burned out today!

Ignis chopped the mango chunks with a thumping sound, the magic suppressor on her wrist flashing red.

When the fifth customer asked for no ice, the shaker cup in her hand suddenly erupted with Mars.

The surveillance footage showed the moment a mushroom cloud rose from station number three!

It was estimated that early tomorrow morning, the local news topic #Bombing Magic Appears in Milk Tea Shop# would hit the city's trending searches.

While Ignis was going berserk here.

At an influencer milk tea shop just three hundred meters away, Shelley was also working part-time, doing a so-called university practical assignment.

The milk tea she personally tempered with ice magic had ice crystals that shimmered coldly under the camera flashes.

Her movement of embedding lime slices into the walls of the ice-carved cups could be described as elegant and moving.

This was captured by customers in short videos with the caption "Arctic Princess's Dreamy Special Blend," and it surpassed a hundred thousand likes that same day.

The store manager was practically holding the ledger with tears in his eyes that day!

Three hours of sales equaled half a year!

It was just that customers reported their straws being frozen to the rim of the cups!

For Ignis and Shelley, it was fine—just a normal daily routine.

As for all of this, Lu Chen was watching secretly.

At the same time, he was paying attention to the information provided by the Old Dean.

At this moment, Morning Dew was dressed in a nun's habit, looking particularly conspicuous in the pet hospital.

As a priestess, she was full of love for small animals.

When she used Holy Light to cure canine distemper for the Nth time, the small animals naturally gathered around her.

A gentle and kind girl.

Such a scene was immediately uploaded as a video to the internet by the female shop owner.

That same day, the Animal Protection Association rushed over overnight to investigate the "Pet Gathering Incident."

Because Morning Dew hadn't actually cast any magic to influence these animals.

It was as if she naturally possessed such an affinity.

This was indeed Heaven-Defying.

Even when Lu Chen's Power of the Undead occasionally went out of control, Morning Dew could soothe him.

The Holy Light attribute is naturally the nemesis of the undead attribute.

But Morning Dew could actually control Holy Light magic to the point where it could coexist with the Power of the Undead.

As expected of a girl who can Cultivate the secret tome; she already possesses a Six-Winged Seraph Primordial Spirit.

Everything was fine with Morning Dew.

After Lu Chen passed by to take a look, he came to Ning Xiwei's place.

Ning Xiwei was actually working part-time in a haunted house, perhaps an escape room.

This quiet school beauty was now a qualified Necromancer.

She seemed very suited for this job.

Ning Xiwei wore a bone mask and crouched in a corner of the escape room, the skeleton lamp in her hand glowing with a faint, eerie light.

The group of college students solving puzzles instantly exploded!

Watching their heroic poses as they piled on top of each other to climb the walls, Lu Chen couldn't help but chuckle when he walked in.

Normally, Ning Xiwei was a serious girl who didn't show her emotions.

But such a cold face sometimes had a peculiar sense of humor.

"Xiwei, I've come to pick you up."

"Oh, Little Skeleton."

A hot post on the campus wall that day: "Question: Does the mortuary science major teach undead summoning? I want to work in a haunted house!"

When Lu Chen came to find Sun Feifei, this girl wasn't doing any proper part-time work to complete her practical assignment.

Instead, she was wandering around the lobby of the Renjian Ai Office Building with a compass in hand, her slim-fitting white Daoist robe fluttering in the air conditioning.

She opened her mouth and said, "Benefactor, your workstation is directly facing a Piercing Wind..."

Sun Feifei was talking eloquently to a balding supervisor.

And this happened to be the company where Lu Chen was working part-time today.

He also had a practical task.

Although he had come here voluntarily.

Because here—there was something he sensed!

Lu Chen emerged from the fire escape carrying documents, his chest badge printed with "Intern Lu Chen".

---

In the employee cafeteria during lunch break, the five-person group chat was exploding with messages:

【Flame Worker】: Who invented 'no ice, less sugar, extra sugar'! I'm going to melt this crappy shop!

【Arctic Sales Champion】: Need ice support? I just froze three streamers who were secretly filming. By the way, why is Lu Chen with Feifei?

【Holy Light Vet】: Corgi babies are so annoying! What should I do? Urgent! Waiting online!

【Undead NPC】: I suggest the escape room add a soul-guiding segment. I really don't want to watch these—idiots!

【Taoist Feng Shui Master】: Is the handsome guy with gold-rimmed glasses at the nine o'clock direction Little Skeleton?

【The Girls】: It's him!

Lu Chen looked up and saw Sun Feifei outside the floor-to-ceiling window making Bagua gestures; his phone suddenly vibrated:

【Taoist Feng Shui Master】: Can you put some heart into pretending to be an ordinary person? What intern has an aura like yours!?

【Taoist Feng Shui Master】: By the way, why are you here? You're not a student!

Lu Chen looked down at the illusion bracelet on his wrist and felt that something was wrong with this thing from the Old Dean.

Is this magic tool really this trash?

Lu Chen casually took a photo of the Emerald Shrimp Dumplings in the cafeteria and sent it directly to the five-person group:

Why five people?

Lu Chen isn't human!

【Lu Chen】: Do you want me to bring you takeout?

【Flame Worker】: Mango Pomelo Sago with ten times the mango!

【Arctic Sales Champion】: Ice-extracted jasmine, thirty percent sugar... 【Holy Light Vet】: Please bring me some dog food... it's not for me to eat!

...The girls one after another made requests that suited their current state of mind.

As for Lu Chen, his gaze landed on an executive walking over.

The man carried an incredibly dense evil Qi!

And this was exactly Lu Chen's purpose for coming here.

Rather than some idle coincidence... As the evening shift change approached, over at Ignis's side, she kicked open the locker room door!

—"I'm quitting!"

She tore off her scorched apron, Mars dancing at the tips of her hair.

The store manager held the heat-deformed cash register and wept, almost begging:

"Student Ignis, this is your salary for today..."

The envelope handed over was full of money.

【Escaped Princess of the Flame Tower】 sent a photo:

—Can a part-time job earn this much? How many magic crystal stones can this buy!

Over at Shelley's, there was still a long line in front of her ice sculpture counter, and influencer streamers were fighting to grab camera angles.

She directly froze the window and carved a "Closed" sign with ice magic.

The numbers on the tickets held by those scalpers instantly plummeted in value.

Shelley wouldn't indulge them.

If she weren't a student, she would have left long ago.

When Morning Dew got off work holding a Pomeranian.

The girls were also about ready to rest.

Everyone planned to go find Lu Chen.

As for Ning Xiwei, she was currently in the monitoring room, facing uninvited guests who had broken in:

"Hello, we are from the 'Approaching Magic' program team!"

"Get out..." Ning Xiwei said a single word indifferently, expressing everything.
