Conquering The Game's World-Chapter 141 Exchange Center!

'*Sigh*, why am I being so pessimistic about it? I still have time; everything isn't over yet!'

Encouraging herself in her mind. Rura took a deep breath, calming herself down and turned to look at Luis, who seemed to be deep in thought. With a smile on her face, she said, "I'm thankful to you for sharing that news and listening to my rants. Please, just forget about it." Then, seeing Luis nod with a look of understanding, she added in a joking manner, "Also, you shouldn't show such care and worry about other girls, otherwise your fiancée might get jealous." "Really?" Luis chuckled at her words and said, "Well, if Miss Rura says so, I'll keep your words in mind."

"You better!" Rura showed a stern expression, then laughed softly.

Luis laughed alongside her, then, showing an expression, as if he just thought of something, he said. "By the way, Miss Rura, I hope you can get along well with my fiancée and hopefully become friends."

"Oh, why do you want us to become friends? Do you have some ulterior motives?" Rura raised an eyebrow and asked jokingly. frёeωebɳovel.com

'Yes, I do. I want you to become my loyal subordinate and make potions for me.' Of course, he just thought that in his mind and didn't say that out loud. Shaking his head, Luis said with a smile, "It's nothing like that. It's just that my fiancée doesn't have any friends. With Miss Rura by her side, I can be assured that she will have a good friend."

Although it felt good to be trusted, Rura still asked with a faint smile, "How can you be so sure? You don't know much about me!"

Luis nodded and said with a serious expression, "What you said is true. But from what I observed and got to know about you in our conversation just now. I have a feeling that you are a good person."

Hearing Luis' praise, a soft smile appeared on Rura's face and her previously depressed mood also improved. With a slight nod, she said, "I can't say for sure. But if we do get along well, then I will naturally be friends with her."

"Those words are enough," Luis said with a smile. Then, after a little more chat with Rura, he tapped on his mana bracelet to check the time. 'Hmm, we have been talking for more than half an hour. Well, this much is enough.'

Thinking so, he looked at her and said, "Well, Miss Rura, I have somewhere to go. If we have an opportunity next time, let's chat again."

"Yeah, sure. As long as your fiancée is with us, too." Rura said with a chuckle.

Luis also smiled while shaking his head and said sincerely, "Getting acquainted with Miss Rura, the genius alchemist whom I've heard a lot about. Now I am very interested to witness your creations and see whether you are as good as your reputation says you are."

"Sure! I will show you next time that my title isn't just for appearances." Rura replied with a smile. Not thinking too much about his words. Now, she had a very good opinion of Luis. A kind, caring and most of all, a loyal person. Throughout their entire conversation, his eyes looking at her didn't show the slightest bit of attraction towards her. 'His fiancée is a lucky girl.' Rura thought with a sigh.

"I look forward to it. Then, see you later, Miss Rura."

Unaware of Rura's thoughts at this moment, Luis said goodbye to her and left with a smile on his face.

As he came out of the dorm, Luis thought. 'Rura and my current relationship should be more than acquaintance and less than friends.'

'Well, that's more than good enough. Now I just have to plan an opportunity to witness her alchemy skills and try to find out at what stage her current progress of the Multiplier Potion is.'

'Hmm, but before all that, I need to get Alicia's help and let her in on some of my plans. I don't want to create any unnecessary misunderstandings later on.'

Thinking so, Luis started walking in the direction of the campus. There was still some time before the evening, as Luis saw many pedestrians along the way and stopped at a shop to buy some snacks. Looking at the buzzing Academy City around him, Luis wondered just how long this peace would continue. With a sigh, he munched down on the snacks that he had just bought. "*Mmm*, It tastes good!"

After he entered the campus, Luis, under the navigation of Lily, went to the exchange center of the Oracle Academy.

The Exchange Center is a place where students can exchange Merit Points for resources and treasures. This is also where students can apply for privileges using their merit points. Here, Luis planned to exchange his million merit points for a material that he had seen in the Holy Dragon Knight game and was quite interested in. But he wasn't sure if they would have it here like they did in the game. After all, this was the real world. 'I just hope they have it here.' With that thought in his mind, Luis entered the exchange center building.

"Welcome!" As soon as Luis entered the exchange center, a loud voice greeted him. Luis raised his head to look at the old man, a head taller than himself, looking over with a businesslike smile on his face. But Luis didn't look at his face. Instead, his eyes were locked onto that man's long braided beard, which was swinging like a pendulum as he walked over.

"Can I see your Student ID?" the old man asked in his heavy voice. Luis immediately tapped on his mana bracelet to show his ID.

"So, you are a first-year student. That means it should be your first day today." The old man mumbled and observed Luis with scrutiny, thinking this student seemed familiar. But he couldn't remember him, so he shook his head and asked, "Are you here to exchange or look around?"

Rura's background and situation will be revealed later in the story guys.
