Doomsday Code

Chapter 264: Expensive New Year Gift

"Good boy, you actually let Principal Adolf and Professor Penbes work for you for nothing."

Isabel patted Chen Cheng on the shoulder and said.

"Not really. My research overlaps a lot with Professor Penbes's. He is also doing research on disassembling magic patterns. Isn't this just a coincidence?"

"And with my variable magic, the professor's research can proceed faster, and the risk of failure is greatly reduced."

Chen Cheng scratched his head.

"Well, Brown, this coincides with the professor's research. Brown must have something important to tell you today."

At this time, Melinda spoke up to protect Chen Cheng.

And Isabelle said sourly:

"Okay, let's start the maintenance now."

Then she glared at Chen Cheng who was smiling across from her and said:

"What are you laughing at, little brat? Is there any reason why your eldest lady didn't come to our place with you today?"

Isabel perfectly illustrates what a false face means. She just said she would protect Chen Cheng, but now she turns around and starts to argue with Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng did not forget the purpose of his coming here. He took out two gifts he had prepared from his space bag and said:

“There is no rush. Today is New Year’s Day. According to the custom of our tribe, today is a festive day. Relatives and friends will send each other good wishes for the new year today.

This is the New Year gift I picked for you, please see if it suits you."

Although the two girls had no feelings about the New Year's greetings that Chen Cheng said, they were very interested in this gift.

The two girls opened the gift box, and inside was a set of jewelry that Chen Cheng had chosen for them based on his own understanding.

Although these were just some ordinary jewellery, the two girls liked them very much after seeing them.

Because Chen Cheng selected these jewelry entirely according to their ages and different personalities.

"The item is very good, I will accept it."

Isabel looked at the lavender gemstone bracelet in her hand and said to Chen Cheng with great satisfaction.

Melinda picked up the sapphire pendant and put it on in front of the floor-length mirror. When she looked at herself in the mirror wearing the pendant, a blush appeared on her face.

"Wait a minute, boy. Since it is your custom to give gifts and blessings, I will prepare a gift for you as well."

With that, Isabel ran out of Melinda's dormitory.

When Isabel left, Chen Cheng looked at Melinda in the mirror.

Chen Cheng felt that he had a really good vision today. When worn on Melinda, this sapphire pendant added a touch of noble temperament to her casual charm.

Melinda also saw through the floor-length mirror that Chen Cheng was staring at her from behind, and judging from where his eyes were, it seemed to be her chest.

At this moment, Melinda remembered that she was wearing a loose home dress. When she stood up, her collar slipped down, revealing her cleavage. The sapphire pendant that Chen Cheng gave her fell in front of the cleavage.

Feeling Chen Cheng's gaze and the touch of the gem on her skin, Melinda couldn't help but recall some of the private conversations between her and Isabel.

As a descendant of an elf, Melinda naturally inherited her mother's beauty.

It would be a lie to say that Chen Cheng was not attracted by her beauty at all, but it would be a lie to say that the way Chen Cheng looked at her now was simply an appreciation of her beauty.

Especially as he looked at the sapphire pendant, he admired his vision today.

This awkward moment for Melinda didn't last long, and Isabel, who had just gone out, came back in hurriedly with the gift box that Chen Cheng had just given her.

Then Isabel saw Chen Cheng's gaze in front of the floor-length mirror. She followed his gaze and her pretty face turned red. Then she said unhappily:

"What are you looking at? I'll dig out your eyeballs."

This sentence instantly woke up the two of them, and then Chen Cheng found that his gaze seemed to fall on a place where it shouldn't be, but when he wanted to explain that he didn't have that intention, he felt that no one would believe him.

Melinda immediately pulled her collar and said incoherently:

"Okay, you guys can talk if you want, I'm going to go back first."

Then she remembered that this was her dormitory, and she ran back to her bedroom with a blushing face.

Isabel placed the gift box on the table, then glared at him and said:

"You are still young and you don't learn your lesson. Don't think you can take advantage of Melinda just because she likes you. Be careful of my fist of justice."

As Isabel spoke, she waved her fist. However, combined with her expression that didn't sound threatening, Chen Cheng felt that she was a little cute.

In the bedroom, Melinda's blushing face turned even redder when she heard Isabel say that she had a crush on Chen Cheng.

Then she thought of the way Chen Cheng stared at her just now. That look was full of admiration and did not make her feel disgusted.

At this moment Melinda's thoughts flew to the sky again.

When her thoughts came back to her senses, she heard Chen Cheng's exclamation outside.

"Teacher Ishabel, are you serious? Are you going to give me all these forging diagrams that you collected with great difficulty?"

At this time, Chen Cheng was exclaiming as he opened the gift that Isabel had prepared for him.

Because these are all the advanced forging drawings that Isabel lent him when he was learning forging.

And some of them he had never borrowed before.

Based on the value of these drawings, if he sold them to Brusto, he could get at least one million gold coins.

A trace of desolation flashed across Isabelle's face, and then she said carelessly:

"Do you want it or not, little brat? If not, I'll take it back."

Chen Cheng immediately picked up the gift box and said:

"Yes, how can I not?"

At this time, Melinda in the bedroom also thought about what gift she should prepare for Chen Cheng. She just heard about the generous gift given by Isabel. At this moment, Melinda somehow had the urge to surpass her.

Melinda looked around her bedroom, and her eyes fell on the bookshelf in her bedroom.

Although there are not many books on this bookshelf, they are all rare ancient books and the cultivation notes of some legendary powerful people.

It can be said that the value of these things outside can no longer be measured by money, and they can be the foundation of a family.

Then Melinda thought about Chen Cheng's current practice. Melinda saw at a glance that what Chen Cheng lacked most now was advanced practice methods.

Melinda came to the bookshelf and picked out several ancient books and notebooks that explained spiritual practice. She then took out a silk scarf from her closet and wrapped the notebooks.

Melinda came out of the bedroom and handed the notebook to Chen Cheng, saying:

"Here is my New Year's gift to you. You can read more of these books in the future. It will be of great help to your practice."
