Each person paid the 10,000 Private Point registration fee.
They then dispersed in their respective groups.
Looking at Sakayanagi Arisu and the others leaving the venue, Hikigaya couldn't help but show a smile on his face.
He wasn't lying.
He might not be very good at ordinary treasure hunting, but as long as it involved money, anything would change its nature.
However.
Speaking of which.
Hikigaya turned to look at Horikita Suzune, who was in charge of registration. He didn't expect this person to have also joined the Student Council; he didn't know when that happened.
And.
It's a bit strange.
Clearly, Ichinose joined the Student Council at least before Horikita Suzune.
Now the one in charge of registration is Horikita Suzune, but Ichinose's figure cannot be seen in the venue. She is likely in charge of other matters.
I'm afraid.
Compared to Ichinose.
Nagumo Miyabi probably values Horikita Suzune more, which is why he entrusted such important work to her.
This is also unavoidable.
After all, Nagumo Miyabi's policy is the supremacy of individual ability, and Ichinose clearly does not fit his style of doing things.
As for Horikita Suzune.
She has already become more compliant with the style of meritocracy.
"Forget it, let's begin."
Shaking his head.
Hikigaya prepared to start acting.
Whether he won or lost the match with Sakayanagi and the others didn't matter much.
It was just a game.
But it's a waste not to take free money.
Hikigaya turned around to scan the venue.
It seemed nearly half the school had participated in this game, but no one else could be seen in the venue; most of them had already headed out into the cruise ship.
But trying to find two hundred stickers on the cruise ship.
Clearly was not an easy task.
And.
People.
There is only one chance to scan the code.
In the end.
Whether one can get those few large-amount stickers depends on each person's luck.
Without hesitation.
Looking at Nagumo Miyabi, who was chatting with several Student Council members, Hikigaya somewhat reluctantly walked behind him.
"President Nagumo."
"Oh?"
Nagumo Miyabi turned back with an unhappy face, and seeing it was Hikigaya, he said somewhat speechlessly:
"So it's you, Hikigaya. Don't you know that talking to people like this is scary?"
"Oh, sorry."
Hikigaya nodded sincerely with an apology and whispered: "Can we talk for a moment?"
"You want to talk to me?"
Nagumo Miyabi was suddenly a bit confused and looked Hikigaya up and down.
He wondered if the sun had risen from the west today.
From what he knew.
Hikigaya should absolutely not want to have contact with him.
Originally.
Nagumo Miyabi wanted to do something to force Hikigaya to fight him.
But now.
Since Hikigaya was avoiding him, Nagumo Miyabi didn't care much anymore.
Nagumo Miyabi had now found a more interesting toy.
However.
For a talented player like Hikigaya, Nagumo Miyabi was still somewhat interested.
"No problem."
The two walked to a corner of the venue.
Only then did Hikigaya look at this genius, unseen in fifty years at the Advanced Nurturing High School, and lowered his voice:
"President Nagumo, I want to ask, was this exam designed by the Student Council?"
"That's right."
Nagumo Miyabi explained with a smile: "What, is there a problem, Hikigaya?"
"Then..."
Hikigaya looked around and lowered his voice extremely low: "Then the Student Council should know the locations of the stickers, right? We..."
As he spoke.
Hikigaya surreptitiously extended his finger, then flipped it.
Wait until he gets the million-point sticker, then fifty-fifty for each person.
Split it fifty-fifty.
"Hmm?"
Nagumo Miyabi was stunned for a moment, and only after a while did he realize what Hikigaya meant. He looked at Hikigaya with an expression of awe.
Originally.
The third-year students had completely failed in this uninhabited island exam; the fifteen people expelled were all third-year students, and his prestige had suffered a blow.
Nagumo Miyabi designed this game.
Specifically to salvage his reputation among the students.
He didn't expect.
That it could be played like this?
Although the stickers were placed by the Student Council members together, as the Student Council President, he indeed knew the locations of all stickers, and was even clearer on where those large-amount stickers were.
Something felt a bit wrong.
Go.
It seemed a bit unreasonable.
But Nagumo Miyabi frowned and thought deeply for a moment.
It didn't seem like there was any problem.
As long as it was done carefully, this matter couldn't possibly affect him.
Although several hundred thousand Private Points weren't very important to him, who doesn't want free money.
After all.
No matter how much Nagumo Miyabi boasts.
In the end, he is just a student living in an ivory tower.
Hikigaya seemed to have opened a door to a new world for him.
After thinking deeply for a moment.
Nagumo Miyabi squinted his eyes; there really didn't seem to be any problem.
If Hikigaya told the school about this, he would be punished as well. As long as he was cautious enough himself.
"Haha, Hikigaya is really interesting, but this is impossible."
Nagumo Miyabi showed a smile.
Although he said that, his hand movements were not slow.
He made a seven-three gesture in front of Hikigaya.
Although he could also use students from his own class, that would ultimately be too conspicuous. Someone like Hikigaya, who was unrelated to him, would be less likely to be noticed.
But.
It's just running an errand.
And you still want seventy percent?
"Uh..."
Hikigaya's mouth twitched, and he nodded helplessly.
What a pity.
Nagumo Miyabi is a Student Council big shot who shouldn't be offended.
Seventy percent belongs to the other guy; he can only take thirty percent.
However.
A one-million-point sticker.
Getting 300,000 just for running an errand is already quite good.
Soon.
Nagumo Miyabi summoned a student and whispered a few words in his ear. That third-year student looked at Hikigaya with a somewhat shocked gaze.
He had never considered such a question before.
In that case.
Could they use this method to transfer Student Council funds to their own class?
However.
These were clearly not things he should be considering.
"Alright."
Nagumo Miyabi waved his hand and laughed: "If there's nothing else, you guys can go."
Upon hearing this.
Hikigaya was about to speak when he saw that third-year senior walking straight out.
Clearly.
For safety's sake, he didn't want to talk to him.
Clear about the other party's intention.
Hikigaya just followed nonchalantly behind him. When they reached the place, he would casually scan the code. He believed the other party would then request the points to be returned.
Although he could choose not to give them.
But Hikigaya didn't want to offend Nagumo Miyabi just for several hundred thousand Private Points.
300,000 is already enough.
More importantly.
Hikigaya looked back imperceptibly at Nagumo Miyabi, who was currently laughing and talking with several girls.
He wondered if he had been walking too smoothly.
He felt Nagumo Miyabi was a bit stupid.
Not exactly stupid.
Nagumo Miyabi let a trustworthy person handle the handoff with him.
He clearly knew the risks of doing such a thing.
He had directly removed himself from the situation.
If there were any problems, he could directly push the senior in front of him to take the blame.
It was just a small matter of several hundred thousand.
Presumably, that senior wouldn't have any objections either.
It should be said.
Nagumo Miyabi lacks sufficient personal cultivation and does not have very high moral standards.
This kind of thing is clearly something Ichinose would not do.
