The world ended, Chu Qianze’s soul was pulled away, and the system automatically returned.
The system happily looked at the fonts, emoticons, comics, anime, movies, and novels in its memory bar, and felt some satisfaction.
All this wealth, ah!
If the system resells this to other systems, it will definitely be able to exchange a lot of good stuff! The system decided in its heart, it must get the kissing photos of the elf king and the dark god no matter what! It wanted that for a long time!
The system was thinking that it would get the photos in the future, but it couldn’t hold back a giggle. The entire light body shivered, and with the laugh, it appeared extremely lewd.Chu Qianze couldn’t help rolling his eyes.
“What are you thinking about, so fascinating?” Chu Qianze raised his hand and poked the system.
[It’s nothing, it’s nothing. Host, I’m back. I haven’t seen you for a long time, how are you doing?] Text appeared out of nowhere, and it also comes with a mechanical synchronous dubbing.
“Very good.” Chu Qianze simulated a lazy sofa out of nowhere, and subconsciously made a hugging posture, but closed on empty air. He blinked his eyes and threw himself back on the sofa, the whole person was as lazy as a salted fish.
“Hurry up and settle the task, then go directly to the next world.”
[The host doesn’t want to rest?]
“No way. It’s so empty here, and I have to simulate everything by myself, which is so troublesome.”
[Now to settle the results, connecting the script…] The system began the settlement of the last world.
[Task completion: 100%]
Worthy of being its host! The system bubbled with joy.
It’s rare to have such a high degree of task completion! He deserved to be the one chosen by it!
The next indicator appeared.
[Plot completion: 0%]
When the data appeared, the system was stunned, and then a screen full of question marks flooded in.
[What’s the situation? Wait a moment, host. Let me check the program myself!]
The system pretended to be calm, but it panicked inwardly.
It’s terrible, is it because when it downloaded something, it accidentally let a virus invade it? It’s a small matter to be invaded by a virus, but if it loses all the entertainment it added, the system will definitely go back to being rebuilt with sadness!
Chu Qianze glanced at the system above, a hit of relief flashed in his heart. He waved his hand to signal that it was fine. “Don’t worry, you aren’t infected with a virus.”
Huh? How does the host know what it’s thinking?
“You display them directly on the screen, everything included.” Chu Qianze looked at its stunned look, hahaha, and laughed out loud, with no sense of friendship at all.
The system realized that it was connected to an interface and hurriedly disconnected.
[Host, what the hell is going on?]
“It’s exactly what you saw. The plot collapsed inexplicably, and I don’t know what the situation is. Anyway, the contract only told me to complete my own tasks, and there’s no other thing about completing the plot. It’ll be fine if the task is completed.” Chu Qianze tapped the screen.
[That’s it.]
The system expressed its understanding of the plot collapsing. The host was right, anyway, as long as the task was completed, there’s no mention of the plot or anything. So it didn’t matter…right?
“What’s the next world?” Chu Qianze saw that the system was silent, and changed the topic.
[This will not be known until the world is reached. Host, the system following you is a privilege that only novices have, and now that you have passed the first world, the system won’t accompany you, you have to take care of yourself.]
The system cried and chirped in its heart. This host was really helpful. Not only did he not ask for help, he was also happy to let the system take a vacation. If it weren’t for the host’s initiative, it would definitely not have had time to download so many good things.
“So, starting from the next world, I only have scripts and tasks?” Chu Qianze said he felt that he needed to interrupt.
He really doesn’t trust the script. Like in the previous world, that content was completely problematic!
[Yes, that’s right.]
Chu Qianze was silent for a moment, but he still wanted to confirm. “Are you sure that the script information is updated in real time?”
[It releases tasks in real time according to the instructions above, and it is absolutely reliable! Don’t worry!]
When the system said this, a lot of emoticons and stickers appeared on the screen, each with their own animation function.
[Ouch, my data!]
There were too many things in its storage, a little too hard to fit!
Chu Qianze’s mouth twitched when he saw this scene.
It felt even more unreliable.
The system breathed a sigh of relief after compressing all the data back.
[Because the host had a high degree of completion, the script has been upgraded.]
“Upgrade?”
[Please explore the details by yourself.]
[Beginning the transmission.]
Chu Qianze found himself standing in a small compartment with a magnificent tub inlaid with a golden border in front of him.
But no matter how gorgeous the decoration was, it couldn’t change the fact that it was a toilet.
Chu Qianze walked out of the cubicle and washed his hands in the sink. On the surface, he was washing his hands quietly, but, in fact, he was reading the script.
[The plot has not yet started.]
Did he travel directly to the beginning of the plot?
Now that the situation was urgent, Chu Qianze jumped directly to the part about himself.
[Task: Pass the selection and stay here to work.]
[Task: Become Bo Yu’s personal butler.]
[Special task: Find out about your own life experience.]
Chu Qianze saw this and frowned slightly. He soon recovered his calm. He turned on the newly upgraded function of the script, and fell silent.
Speech to text? What’s the use of this?
It wasn’t the time to think about other things. What he needed to do was to pass the selection and stay here.
Thinking so, Chu Qianze walked outside.
He was led to stand in the hall with a huge celadon vase in front of him. Besides him, there were several people standing next to him. They were in the same situation as him, but the things in front of everyone were different.
“Everyone, come and observe the items in front of you, you have a limited time of ten minutes. Hand in the information you wrote in ten minutes.” The speaker was an old man in a suit. He had gray hair, but his back was straight and he walked smoothly with the wind. It could be seen that his bones were very healthy.
“Let me just say a few words, taking advantage of everyone observing the items. I am the steward here and my surname is Liu. First of all, congratulations to everyone for passing the preliminary exam. Being able to come here proves that you are already excellent. Next, we will conduct a more rigorous test. In other words, it is to test everyone’s professionalism.”
[Character unlocked: Steward Liu. He has a straightforward personality and is loyal to Bo Yu; he does not allow anyone to slander him.]
Looking at the suddenly triggered subtitles, Chu Qianze moved his eyes and activated the new voice-to-text function of the script.
“As an excellent butler, the first thing you have to know is; don’t look at what you shouldn’t see, and don’t listen to what you shouldn’t listen to.” Steward Liu walked by Chu Qianze’s side, his eyes seemingly passing by his side.
“The primary goal of the butler is to meet the needs of the gentleman in a timely manner, or even to predict the needs of the gentleman in advance, so as to take actions to ensure that things are foolproof. A good butler needs to have eagle-like insight, coordinated and fit physical qualities, as well as a delicate heart.”
When Steward Liu was talking, Chu Qianze was looking at the porcelain in front of him seriously, writing on his paper from time to time.
“Butlers naturally must know the basic etiquette. Next, we will test everyone in terms of appearance, demeanor, ceremony, speech, and behavior.”
Steward Liu walked slowly, the speed of his speech was slow. After a while, he prompted that ten minutes had passed and asked everyone to hand in their conclusion they had drawn. He looked at them one by one and glanced at the names of the papers.
“Lu Junlang.”
Lu Junlang heard Steward Liu calling his name, and took a step aside and walked out of his position. He had full confidence in the answers on the paper. If Steward Liu had anything to ask, he also had his own set of logical answers.
Steward Liu scrutinized Lu Junlang and nodded slightly, as if he was very satisfied, which made Lu Junlang couldn’t help smiling.
Steward Liu, “I just said that as a butler, what is the most important thing?”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Junlang’s expression stiffened.
He had just been pondering the porcelain on the table, thinking about its relevant information, where did he have the energy to remember what this person said? Moreover, Steward Liu had been talking for ten minutes with all kinds of information, even today’s entertainment gossip, but he didn’t pay any attention.
But Lu Junlang still had relevant training, and quickly resumed the proper management of his facial expressions with a slightly apologetic expression. “I apologize, I missed your words. If it’s convenient, can you repeat it again?”
Steward Liu smiled, then his whole expression faded. “I don’t know what kind of butler you’re applying for? I also want to ask, if it’s inconvenient for us, do I look so free?”
Lu Junlang couldn’t hold his expression when he was scolded like this. He came here to pursue better treatment, not to be scolded. But after all, this person was the steward of the Bo family, an old-timer in the industry, and he couldn’t afford to offend him. After thinking about it, he felt that he didn’t need to get angry, so he reluctantly smiled. “I apologize.”
He thought that the butler would let it pass, but he didn’t expect Steward Liu to spare no one. “What are you embarrassed about? Is this your fault? What do you think was wrong?”
The corners of Lu Junlang’s mouth twitched, yet his face was still humble. “I shouldn’t have missed your lecture because I was writing.”
Steward Liu stared at him for a long time before exhaling. “Is this your fault?”
“Yes, I’m sorry.” Lu Junlang said.
“Do you think you are wrong for not listening to me?” Steward Liu put his hands behind his back and walked around Lu Junlang.
Chu Qianze felt that his mind was empty, the sound went in his left ear and went out in his right ear. He stood there looking at the farce, he looked very decent, but only he knew his inner complaints.
He was standing next to the two of them, and now Steward Liu was very close to him when he spoke. So Chu Qianze was inevitably affected, half of his ears were still a little numb.
“Can anyone answer my question just now?” Steward Liu said loudly.
Everyone looked at each other; I look at you, you look at me. No one wanted to stand out.
Not to mention that they didn’t remember anything about what Steward Liu was talking about for almost ten minutes. Looking at this old man’s actions, anyone who spoke at this moment would be hitting the muzzle of the gun, why should they be the first bird to be shot?
“No one can answer? Can’t you even answer such a simple question?” Steward Liu’s voice was even louder, so full of energy. Chu Qianze wanted to cover his ears when he heard it.
Seeing that he was still about to speak, Chu Qianze hurried out of the queue so that he could speak. “You just said, as a butler, don’t look at what you shouldn’t look at, and don’t listen to what you shouldn’t listen to..”
Steward Liu paused as he was about to roar. He turned to face Chu Qianze and listened quietly, without nodding or shaking his head, unable to see what he was thinking.
Chu Qianze didn’t care about anything else, and honestly repeated all the relevant content. After it was over, he added a sentence, “Did I answer correctly?”
Steward Liu was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, “What you said is right.”
Did he turn on the voice-to-text for nothing? The screen full of text was floating in front of him.
“Then can I ask you a question?” Chu Qianze raised a smile, full of kindness.
Steward Liu raised his eyebrows, an examinee asked the examiner a question in the examination room, which had never happened before. “You ask.”
“You just mentioned that Mister will be back soon, is it true?” Chu Qianze asked a question but in an affirmative tone.
Steward Liu took two steps forward and looked at Chu Qianze. “Of course.”
Chu Qianze maintained his pure smile. “Mister just came here, he certainly is not yet familiar with the situation. If Steward Liu thinks it’s fine, how about letting me temporarily serve Mister as a personal butler?”
“You?” Steward Liu seemed to find him interesting. “There are so many people who came to apply for the job, why should I choose you?”
“They came here to apply as a butler, serving the entire villa, and I am here to apply for the exclusive butler of Mister. There seems to be no connection between the two.” Chu Qianze replied.
“Moreover, regarding the question you just asked about the professionalism of a butler, I think what you said was lacking.”
Steward Liu’s smile disappeared, and his eyes looked intently at Chu Qianze. “Then let’s talk about it, where was it lacking?”
“As a butler, although you should be respectful and provide convenience for your master’s life and work, what you should do more is to have your own persistence. As an employee, I should be paid to do my part, but there should be a bottom line in everything, which doesn’t mean that we can tolerate the willful actions of others. You just said that we should serve the master, and more importantly, provide help when they have problems or doubts. But people trained in this profession have been warned from the beginning to manage their emotions and not to get angry no matter what happens, contrary to your request.”
Chu Qianze looked at Lu Junlang next to him. “Lu Junlang’s answer must be well-written, so you want to test him further. You just said those words to irritate Lu Junlang, but it’s a pity that he didn’t get angry, but chose to bear it.”
Applause sounded from Steward Liu. He was smiling at the moment, and his serious and gloomy expression just now seemed to be an illusion. “That’s right. Very good, very good. How did you come up with all this?”
Chu Qianze, “I guessed.”
Steward Liu laughed directly when he heard this, “Young man, your personality suits my appetite.”
Hearing this, Chu Qianze didn’t show any surprised expression. “Then can I stay and become Mister’s personal butler?”
“You better think about it; it’s not that simple. Why must you be obsessed with this?”
If he wasn’t obsessed, the task would have failed. Such a single failure mixed in with a row of completed annotations would make it look awkward.
Chu Qianze sighed inwardly, his expression turning serious. “I am here to be able to work with Mister.”
“Oh, you came here specifically for Sir?” Steward Liu didn’t expect this reason, but seeing that he was serious, he didn’t seem to be lying. Steward Liu thought of this and was very relieved in his heart. This young man was so good, really good!
“Yes, I have admired Mister for a long time.” Chu Qianze was talking nonsense solemnly, he didn’t even know what that person looked like.
Steward Liu’s relief was completely expressed on his face. He patted Chu Qianze on the shoulder, and said, “I appreciate your dedication, just like when I was young. Alright, then it’s you.”
He said to the others around him, “The result of this exam has already come out. We will admit this gentleman. I apologize to everyone for coming for nothing.”
A few people looked at each other. Since the candidate had been chosen, they should leave. Although it’s a pity, there are still a lot of places where they can apply.
Lu Junlang’s face changed quite a lot, but no matter what, he wouldn’t cause trouble in public. He glared at Chu Qianze fiercely, then left.
“So, the selection this time was to find a personal butler for Mister alone?” Chu Qianze asked.
Steward Liu smiled but didn’t answer immediately, he looked through the paper in his hand and selected Chu Qianze’s. “The porcelain is light blue and is about 1.04 meters high. Assuming a height of 3.14, it covers an area of about… volume, surface area, cross-section… You have written it quite well.”
“In fact, it’s still a bit short, after all, there is no tool for accurate measurement.” Chu Qianze’s face didn’t change.
“Am I telling you to write this?” Steward Liu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Obviously, he asked them to write an appreciative paper!
Chu Qianze didn’t speak. He had only been here for less than an hour. Where could he find the time to learn about this world’s history and ceramic craftsmanship?
He kept a reserved smile, and added with an understatement, “But you still chose me.”
That’s right.
Steward Liu sighed. “The topics just now were all written by Sir himself. He didn’t want to find ordinary butlers.”
If those people were ordinary, then there could only be a few excellent ones in the world. Your Sir’s definition of ordinary people was really different from normal.
Chu Qianze echoed the praise. “As expected of Sir.”
“Come here at seven o’clock tomorrow morning, and I will tell you what you need to pay attention to.”
“Yes, thank you for your approval.” Chu Qianze’s posture was upright, and he didn’t show excitement at the news of being admitted. He was very calm, which made Steward Liu a little satisfied. This unchanging attitude was one of the basics of being a butler.
“Sir will be back next Monday night, and you will be his assistant temporarily. As long as Sir is satisfied, there will be no problem with anything else.” The old man said, with a faint meaning.
The subtext was that the gentleman had the authority to accept Chu Qianze. If he wants to stay, he must satisfy the gentleman.
“I understand.” Chu Qianze expressed his understanding, then asked, “Grandpa Liu, do you know anything about Sir?”
If he didn’t understand, just ask. This was something he had always implemented. If he asks now, regardless of whether the target was mentally retarded or not, he won’t panic if anything occurs.
Steward Liu pondered for a moment, and said, “Well, Sir doesn’t like dirty places. Before he arrives, you must clean up and sanitize the place. Sir is a very good man, as long as you do what he says, he won’t embarrass you so, don’t worry.”
Having said that, he changed the subject. “Sir is easy-going, but that doesn’t mean that we can relax. The opposite should happen, we must be meticulous and not picky about things. I will teach you the precautions and rules here later, so you must remember them well.”
“Yes, thank you, Steward Liu.” Chu Qianze thought for a while, then smiled at the old man. “It’s getting late, have you eaten yet? Why don’t I make you something to eat?”
“We have professional chefs here.” Steward Liu was about to refuse, but suddenly changed his mind, just in time to take a closer look at this young man. “Then I’ll trouble you.”
“A small thing.” Chu Qianze said, waiting for the grandpa steward to lead the way, he followed up slowly.
As he walked, his gaze seemed to be looking around, but he was glancing at the void.
The task column for the selection had been displayed as completed. The status of the other task hadn’t changed when he was hired as Bo Yu’s assistant, it was still unfinished. In other words, does Bo Yu have to admit his identity as his assistant?
It seems that during this period of time, he couldn’t relax.
Chu Qianze sighed in his heart, but his face didn’t change. He turned off the voice-to-text function.
What Steward Liu said before had all been converted into text and was automatically saved. Chu Qianze prepared to make a copy of it on his phone just in case.
For a whole week, Chu Qianze stayed, learning important precautions. Among them was a full list of things that Bo Yu hated.
Although they hadn’t met yet, Chu Qianze had clearly realized that the two of them were not in the same world at all, and first of all, they didn’t get along in character. Many of the etiquette rules that Bo Yu pursued were completely cumbersome in Chu Qianze’s view.
What Chu Qianze believed in was how to live easily without causing trouble for others. And Bo Yu, this person, was simply in the advanced stage of obsessive-compulsive disorder, pursuing perfection to the point of nitpicking.
He decided to complete the task honestly and step by step, and he quickly slipped away when the task was all over.
“Xiao Chu, Sir, will be back tomorrow. I have to make some preparations in advance, but I just found out that there is still some sauce missing. Can you buy it for me?” Aunt Shen, the cook, said, and handed over a note with what she needed.
“Alright, I’ll buy it now.” Chu Qianze took the list and was about to head out.
“Don’t hurry, be careful on the road.”
“I see, I will pay attention. Aunt Shen, I’ll go first.” Chu Qianze smiled at her and walked outside.
Steward Liu walked in from nowhere, and said cheerfully, “You like him very much.”
“The young man is very likable, don’t you like him too?” Aunt Shen replied without pausing her movements.
Chu Qianze had bought the things and was on his way back when he suddenly heard a cry, which seemed to belong to a little girl. He continued to walk forward, and sure enough, he saw a little girl standing under the tree, wiping tears from her eyes, looking aggrieved.
[Special character unlocked: ??, A half-vampire, half-human race.]
Chu Qianze’s eyes flashed, and he walked over to ask, “What’s the matter?”
“My balloon flew to the tree.” The little girl sobbed, tears dripping down her face, very sad.
Chu Qianze glanced above and pointed to a place in the tree canopy, “Is it that red balloon?”
The little girl nodded, followed by looking up, sucking her little snot from time to time. “It flew to the top and got stuck.”
Chu Qianze gestured to the height of the canopy in his heart, and blinked at the little girl. “Don’t cry, brother will take the balloon off for you.”
He put the things he bought next to him and walked two steps to the bottom of the tree. He jumped up, hooked his hand to the trunk, and landed directly on it. The whole action was neat and handsome. He stretched out his hand and the balloon was taken down.
The little girl wowed unconsciously, her eyes widened, and her eyes almost shone like a star. “Brother is so handsome!”
Chu Qianze jumped down and bent over to give the balloon to the little girl. “Here, don’t lose it again.”
The little girl blinked, but didn’t answer.
“I’ll give the balloon to big brother, how about big brother marrying me?”
Chu Qianze choked when he heard this, people are so direct now.
“I’m afraid that won’t work.”
“Why? Isn’t An An very cute?”
The little girl wrinkled her whole face, and blood seemed to flash in her green eyes. It disappeared very fast, as if it had never appeared before.
Because the gender is different, little girl.
Chu Qianze smiled and touched her head, but said nothing.
“Xiao An.” A mellow voice sounded from behind, and the little girl raised her head and ran straight behind Chu Qianze.
Chu Qianze wanted to stop the girl and give her the balloon. He turned his head and saw a person standing over there.
It was a well-dressed man with blond hair who seemed to exude elegance and refinement, even in his hair. He had a temperament that rejected people for thousands of miles, making people afraid to approach him.
But at that moment, Chu Qianze’s attention was on the suddenly refreshed screen.
[Special character unlocked: Bo Yu, blond with blue eyes, pureblood vampire.]
[Special character unlocked: Bo An, brown hair with blue eyes, half-blood vampire.]
After glancing at the man and then at Bo An, who was standing next to him with a well-behaved face about the height of the man’s thigh, Chu Qianze ruled out the option of them being siblings in his heart.
So these two are…
Father and daughter?
[The two are brothers and sisters.]
Chu Qianze: I thought you didn’t know how to reply to questions?
“Don’t run around.” After Bo Yu said these words, he raised his eyes to the person standing in front of him.
Wearing a casual shirt and jeans was very unorthodox for his aesthetic. This person had wide shoulders and a narrow waist, and his pants undoubtedly showed off his long legs, which was a rare good figure. That face was also rare among humans.
But that extremely bad dress really ruined that model figure.
Chu Qianze felt the unabashed gaze of the person on the opposite side but didn’t react. So when Bo Yu said that he had something to deal with, was he playing outside with his sister?
His thoughts didn’t affect his expression. He walked over and handed the balloon in his hand to Bo An, and said, “You forgot to take this.”
Because Bo An had her brother by her side, she didn’t dare do anything else, so she stretched out his little hand to hold the balloon. “Thank you.”
“Big brother, do you want to go with An An?” As soon as Bo An finished speaking, she was scolded by Bo Yu. She lowered her head slightly, looking a little lost.
“I apologize, she’s not very sensible.”
Bo Yu evoked a polite smile.
“It’s fine, she’s still a child.” Chu Qianze shrugged and said indifferently.
He just didn’t know how old this child was.
“Then we’ll go first, be careful on the road.” Bo Yu nodded to Chu Qianze, and then took Bo An to the car that stopped not far away.
Chu Qianze turned his head, picked up the bag not far away, and walked to the villa. The plastic bag in his hand made noises from time to time.
When he first saw the man named Bo Yu, the coldness and arrogance hidden under that hypocritical smile appeared in his mind.
No wonder he couldn’t make a good impression.
Because that person was the same kind as himself.
Who would like the feeling of looking in the mirror, especially their old self?
He took out a box of mints from his pocket, opened it directly, and poured it into his mouth twice. The cool feeling spread from his taste buds and slowly penetrated into his heart.
Tsk.
“Troublesome.”
The world ended, Chu Qianze’s soul was pulled away, and the system automatically returned.
The system happily looked at the fonts, emoticons, comics, anime, movies, and novels in its memory bar, and felt some satisfaction.
All this wealth, ah!
If the system resells this to other systems, it will definitely be able to exchange a lot of good stuff! The system decided in its heart, it must get the kissing photos of the elf king and the dark god no matter what! It wanted that for a long time!
The system was thinking that it would get the photos in the future, but it couldn’t hold back a giggle. The entire light body shivered, and with the laugh, it appeared extremely lewd.Chu Qianze couldn’t help rolling his eyes.
“What are you thinking about, so fascinating?” Chu Qianze raised his hand and poked the system.
[It’s nothing, it’s nothing. Host, I’m back. I haven’t seen you for a long time, how are you doing?] Text appeared out of nowhere, and it also comes with a mechanical synchronous dubbing.
“Very good.” Chu Qianze simulated a lazy sofa out of nowhere, and subconsciously made a hugging posture, but closed on empty air. He blinked his eyes and threw himself back on the sofa, the whole person was as lazy as a salted fish.
“Hurry up and settle the task, then go directly to the next world.”
[The host doesn’t want to rest?]
“No way. It’s so empty here, and I have to simulate everything by myself, which is so troublesome.”
[Now to settle the results, connecting the script…] The system began the settlement of the last world.
[Task completion: 100%]
Worthy of being its host! The system bubbled with joy.
It’s rare to have such a high degree of task completion! He deserved to be the one chosen by it!
The next indicator appeared.
[Plot completion: 0%]
When the data appeared, the system was stunned, and then a screen full of question marks flooded in.
[What’s the situation? Wait a moment, host. Let me check the program myself!]
The system pretended to be calm, but it panicked inwardly.
It’s terrible, is it because when it downloaded something, it accidentally let a virus invade it? It’s a small matter to be invaded by a virus, but if it loses all the entertainment it added, the system will definitely go back to being rebuilt with sadness!
Chu Qianze glanced at the system above, a hit of relief flashed in his heart. He waved his hand to signal that it was fine. “Don’t worry, you aren’t infected with a virus.”
Huh? How does the host know what it’s thinking?
“You display them directly on the screen, everything included.” Chu Qianze looked at its stunned look, hahaha, and laughed out loud, with no sense of friendship at all.
The system realized that it was connected to an interface and hurriedly disconnected.
[Host, what the hell is going on?]
“It’s exactly what you saw. The plot collapsed inexplicably, and I don’t know what the situation is. Anyway, the contract only told me to complete my own tasks, and there’s no other thing about completing the plot. It’ll be fine if the task is completed.” Chu Qianze tapped the screen.
[That’s it.]
The system expressed its understanding of the plot collapsing. The host was right, anyway, as long as the task was completed, there’s no mention of the plot or anything. So it didn’t matter…right?
“What’s the next world?” Chu Qianze saw that the system was silent, and changed the topic.
[This will not be known until the world is reached. Host, the system following you is a privilege that only novices have, and now that you have passed the first world, the system won’t accompany you, you have to take care of yourself.]
The system cried and chirped in its heart. This host was really helpful. Not only did he not ask for help, he was also happy to let the system take a vacation. If it weren’t for the host’s initiative, it would definitely not have had time to download so many good things.
“So, starting from the next world, I only have scripts and tasks?” Chu Qianze said he felt that he needed to interrupt.
He really doesn’t trust the script. Like in the previous world, that content was completely problematic!
[Yes, that’s right.]
Chu Qianze was silent for a moment, but he still wanted to confirm. “Are you sure that the script information is updated in real time?”
[It releases tasks in real time according to the instructions above, and it is absolutely reliable! Don’t worry!]
When the system said this, a lot of emoticons and stickers appeared on the screen, each with their own animation function.
[Ouch, my data!]
There were too many things in its storage, a little too hard to fit!
Chu Qianze’s mouth twitched when he saw this scene.
It felt even more unreliable.
The system breathed a sigh of relief after compressing all the data back.
[Because the host had a high degree of completion, the script has been upgraded.]
“Upgrade?”
[Please explore the details by yourself.]
[Beginning the transmission.]
Chu Qianze found himself standing in a small compartment with a magnificent tub inlaid with a golden border in front of him.
But no matter how gorgeous the decoration was, it couldn’t change the fact that it was a toilet.
Chu Qianze walked out of the cubicle and washed his hands in the sink. On the surface, he was washing his hands quietly, but, in fact, he was reading the script.
[The plot has not yet started.]
Did he travel directly to the beginning of the plot?
Now that the situation was urgent, Chu Qianze jumped directly to the part about himself.
[Task: Pass the selection and stay here to work.]
[Task: Become Bo Yu’s personal butler.]
[Special task: Find out about your own life experience.]
Chu Qianze saw this and frowned slightly. He soon recovered his calm. He turned on the newly upgraded function of the script, and fell silent.
Speech to text? What’s the use of this?
It wasn’t the time to think about other things. What he needed to do was to pass the selection and stay here.
Thinking so, Chu Qianze walked outside.
He was led to stand in the hall with a huge celadon vase in front of him. Besides him, there were several people standing next to him. They were in the same situation as him, but the things in front of everyone were different.
“Everyone, come and observe the items in front of you, you have a limited time of ten minutes. Hand in the information you wrote in ten minutes.” The speaker was an old man in a suit. He had gray hair, but his back was straight and he walked smoothly with the wind. It could be seen that his bones were very healthy.
“Let me just say a few words, taking advantage of everyone observing the items. I am the steward here and my surname is Liu. First of all, congratulations to everyone for passing the preliminary exam. Being able to come here proves that you are already excellent. Next, we will conduct a more rigorous test. In other words, it is to test everyone’s professionalism.”
[Character unlocked: Steward Liu. He has a straightforward personality and is loyal to Bo Yu; he does not allow anyone to slander him.]
Looking at the suddenly triggered subtitles, Chu Qianze moved his eyes and activated the new voice-to-text function of the script.
“As an excellent butler, the first thing you have to know is; don’t look at what you shouldn’t see, and don’t listen to what you shouldn’t listen to.” Steward Liu walked by Chu Qianze’s side, his eyes seemingly passing by his side.
“The primary goal of the butler is to meet the needs of the gentleman in a timely manner, or even to predict the needs of the gentleman in advance, so as to take actions to ensure that things are foolproof. A good butler needs to have eagle-like insight, coordinated and fit physical qualities, as well as a delicate heart.”
When Steward Liu was talking, Chu Qianze was looking at the porcelain in front of him seriously, writing on his paper from time to time.
“Butlers naturally must know the basic etiquette. Next, we will test everyone in terms of appearance, demeanor, ceremony, speech, and behavior.”
Steward Liu walked slowly, the speed of his speech was slow. After a while, he prompted that ten minutes had passed and asked everyone to hand in their conclusion they had drawn. He looked at them one by one and glanced at the names of the papers.
“Lu Junlang.”
Lu Junlang heard Steward Liu calling his name, and took a step aside and walked out of his position. He had full confidence in the answers on the paper. If Steward Liu had anything to ask, he also had his own set of logical answers.
Steward Liu scrutinized Lu Junlang and nodded slightly, as if he was very satisfied, which made Lu Junlang couldn’t help smiling.
Steward Liu, “I just said that as a butler, what is the most important thing?”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Junlang’s expression stiffened.
He had just been pondering the porcelain on the table, thinking about its relevant information, where did he have the energy to remember what this person said? Moreover, Steward Liu had been talking for ten minutes with all kinds of information, even today’s entertainment gossip, but he didn’t pay any attention.
But Lu Junlang still had relevant training, and quickly resumed the proper management of his facial expressions with a slightly apologetic expression. “I apologize, I missed your words. If it’s convenient, can you repeat it again?”
Steward Liu smiled, then his whole expression faded. “I don’t know what kind of butler you’re applying for? I also want to ask, if it’s inconvenient for us, do I look so free?”
Lu Junlang couldn’t hold his expression when he was scolded like this. He came here to pursue better treatment, not to be scolded. But after all, this person was the steward of the Bo family, an old-timer in the industry, and he couldn’t afford to offend him. After thinking about it, he felt that he didn’t need to get angry, so he reluctantly smiled. “I apologize.”
He thought that the butler would let it pass, but he didn’t expect Steward Liu to spare no one. “What are you embarrassed about? Is this your fault? What do you think was wrong?”
The corners of Lu Junlang’s mouth twitched, yet his face was still humble. “I shouldn’t have missed your lecture because I was writing.”
Steward Liu stared at him for a long time before exhaling. “Is this your fault?”
“Yes, I’m sorry.” Lu Junlang said.
“Do you think you are wrong for not listening to me?” Steward Liu put his hands behind his back and walked around Lu Junlang.
Chu Qianze felt that his mind was empty, the sound went in his left ear and went out in his right ear. He stood there looking at the farce, he looked very decent, but only he knew his inner complaints.
He was standing next to the two of them, and now Steward Liu was very close to him when he spoke. So Chu Qianze was inevitably affected, half of his ears were still a little numb.
“Can anyone answer my question just now?” Steward Liu said loudly.
Everyone looked at each other; I look at you, you look at me. No one wanted to stand out.
Not to mention that they didn’t remember anything about what Steward Liu was talking about for almost ten minutes. Looking at this old man’s actions, anyone who spoke at this moment would be hitting the muzzle of the gun, why should they be the first bird to be shot?
“No one can answer? Can’t you even answer such a simple question?” Steward Liu’s voice was even louder, so full of energy. Chu Qianze wanted to cover his ears when he heard it.
Seeing that he was still about to speak, Chu Qianze hurried out of the queue so that he could speak. “You just said, as a butler, don’t look at what you shouldn’t look at, and don’t listen to what you shouldn’t listen to..”
Steward Liu paused as he was about to roar. He turned to face Chu Qianze and listened quietly, without nodding or shaking his head, unable to see what he was thinking.
Chu Qianze didn’t care about anything else, and honestly repeated all the relevant content. After it was over, he added a sentence, “Did I answer correctly?”
Steward Liu was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, “What you said is right.”
Did he turn on the voice-to-text for nothing? The screen full of text was floating in front of him.
“Then can I ask you a question?” Chu Qianze raised a smile, full of kindness.
Steward Liu raised his eyebrows, an examinee asked the examiner a question in the examination room, which had never happened before. “You ask.”
“You just mentioned that Mister will be back soon, is it true?” Chu Qianze asked a question but in an affirmative tone.
Steward Liu took two steps forward and looked at Chu Qianze. “Of course.”
Chu Qianze maintained his pure smile. “Mister just came here, he certainly is not yet familiar with the situation. If Steward Liu thinks it’s fine, how about letting me temporarily serve Mister as a personal butler?”
“You?” Steward Liu seemed to find him interesting. “There are so many people who came to apply for the job, why should I choose you?”
“They came here to apply as a butler, serving the entire villa, and I am here to apply for the exclusive butler of Mister. There seems to be no connection between the two.” Chu Qianze replied.
“Moreover, regarding the question you just asked about the professionalism of a butler, I think what you said was lacking.”
Steward Liu’s smile disappeared, and his eyes looked intently at Chu Qianze. “Then let’s talk about it, where was it lacking?”
“As a butler, although you should be respectful and provide convenience for your master’s life and work, what you should do more is to have your own persistence. As an employee, I should be paid to do my part, but there should be a bottom line in everything, which doesn’t mean that we can tolerate the willful actions of others. You just said that we should serve the master, and more importantly, provide help when they have problems or doubts. But people trained in this profession have been warned from the beginning to manage their emotions and not to get angry no matter what happens, contrary to your request.”
Chu Qianze looked at Lu Junlang next to him. “Lu Junlang’s answer must be well-written, so you want to test him further. You just said those words to irritate Lu Junlang, but it’s a pity that he didn’t get angry, but chose to bear it.”
Applause sounded from Steward Liu. He was smiling at the moment, and his serious and gloomy expression just now seemed to be an illusion. “That’s right. Very good, very good. How did you come up with all this?”
Chu Qianze, “I guessed.”
Steward Liu laughed directly when he heard this, “Young man, your personality suits my appetite.”
Hearing this, Chu Qianze didn’t show any surprised expression. “Then can I stay and become Mister’s personal butler?”
“You better think about it; it’s not that simple. Why must you be obsessed with this?”
If he wasn’t obsessed, the task would have failed. Such a single failure mixed in with a row of completed annotations would make it look awkward.
Chu Qianze sighed inwardly, his expression turning serious. “I am here to be able to work with Mister.”
“Oh, you came here specifically for Sir?” Steward Liu didn’t expect this reason, but seeing that he was serious, he didn’t seem to be lying. Steward Liu thought of this and was very relieved in his heart. This young man was so good, really good!
“Yes, I have admired Mister for a long time.” Chu Qianze was talking nonsense solemnly, he didn’t even know what that person looked like.
Steward Liu’s relief was completely expressed on his face. He patted Chu Qianze on the shoulder, and said, “I appreciate your dedication, just like when I was young. Alright, then it’s you.”
He said to the others around him, “The result of this exam has already come out. We will admit this gentleman. I apologize to everyone for coming for nothing.”
A few people looked at each other. Since the candidate had been chosen, they should leave. Although it’s a pity, there are still a lot of places where they can apply.
Lu Junlang’s face changed quite a lot, but no matter what, he wouldn’t cause trouble in public. He glared at Chu Qianze fiercely, then left.
“So, the selection this time was to find a personal butler for Mister alone?” Chu Qianze asked.
Steward Liu smiled but didn’t answer immediately, he looked through the paper in his hand and selected Chu Qianze’s. “The porcelain is light blue and is about 1.04 meters high. Assuming a height of 3.14, it covers an area of about… volume, surface area, cross-section… You have written it quite well.”
“In fact, it’s still a bit short, after all, there is no tool for accurate measurement.” Chu Qianze’s face didn’t change.
“Am I telling you to write this?” Steward Liu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Obviously, he asked them to write an appreciative paper!
Chu Qianze didn’t speak. He had only been here for less than an hour. Where could he find the time to learn about this world’s history and ceramic craftsmanship?
He kept a reserved smile, and added with an understatement, “But you still chose me.”
That’s right.
Steward Liu sighed. “The topics just now were all written by Sir himself. He didn’t want to find ordinary butlers.”
If those people were ordinary, then there could only be a few excellent ones in the world. Your Sir’s definition of ordinary people was really different from normal.
Chu Qianze echoed the praise. “As expected of Sir.”
“Come here at seven o’clock tomorrow morning, and I will tell you what you need to pay attention to.”
“Yes, thank you for your approval.” Chu Qianze’s posture was upright, and he didn’t show excitement at the news of being admitted. He was very calm, which made Steward Liu a little satisfied. This unchanging attitude was one of the basics of being a butler.
“Sir will be back next Monday night, and you will be his assistant temporarily. As long as Sir is satisfied, there will be no problem with anything else.” The old man said, with a faint meaning.
The subtext was that the gentleman had the authority to accept Chu Qianze. If he wants to stay, he must satisfy the gentleman.
“I understand.” Chu Qianze expressed his understanding, then asked, “Grandpa Liu, do you know anything about Sir?”
If he didn’t understand, just ask. This was something he had always implemented. If he asks now, regardless of whether the target was mentally retarded or not, he won’t panic if anything occurs.
Steward Liu pondered for a moment, and said, “Well, Sir doesn’t like dirty places. Before he arrives, you must clean up and sanitize the place. Sir is a very good man, as long as you do what he says, he won’t embarrass you so, don’t worry.”
Having said that, he changed the subject. “Sir is easy-going, but that doesn’t mean that we can relax. The opposite should happen, we must be meticulous and not picky about things. I will teach you the precautions and rules here later, so you must remember them well.”
“Yes, thank you, Steward Liu.” Chu Qianze thought for a while, then smiled at the old man. “It’s getting late, have you eaten yet? Why don’t I make you something to eat?”
“We have professional chefs here.” Steward Liu was about to refuse, but suddenly changed his mind, just in time to take a closer look at this young man. “Then I’ll trouble you.”
“A small thing.” Chu Qianze said, waiting for the grandpa steward to lead the way, he followed up slowly.
As he walked, his gaze seemed to be looking around, but he was glancing at the void.
The task column for the selection had been displayed as completed. The status of the other task hadn’t changed when he was hired as Bo Yu’s assistant, it was still unfinished. In other words, does Bo Yu have to admit his identity as his assistant?
It seems that during this period of time, he couldn’t relax.
Chu Qianze sighed in his heart, but his face didn’t change. He turned off the voice-to-text function.
What Steward Liu said before had all been converted into text and was automatically saved. Chu Qianze prepared to make a copy of it on his phone just in case.
For a whole week, Chu Qianze stayed, learning important precautions. Among them was a full list of things that Bo Yu hated.
Although they hadn’t met yet, Chu Qianze had clearly realized that the two of them were not in the same world at all, and first of all, they didn’t get along in character. Many of the etiquette rules that Bo Yu pursued were completely cumbersome in Chu Qianze’s view.
What Chu Qianze believed in was how to live easily without causing trouble for others. And Bo Yu, this person, was simply in the advanced stage of obsessive-compulsive disorder, pursuing perfection to the point of nitpicking.
He decided to complete the task honestly and step by step, and he quickly slipped away when the task was all over.
“Xiao Chu, Sir, will be back tomorrow. I have to make some preparations in advance, but I just found out that there is still some sauce missing. Can you buy it for me?” Aunt Shen, the cook, said, and handed over a note with what she needed.
“Alright, I’ll buy it now.” Chu Qianze took the list and was about to head out.
“Don’t hurry, be careful on the road.”
“I see, I will pay attention. Aunt Shen, I’ll go first.” Chu Qianze smiled at her and walked outside.
Steward Liu walked in from nowhere, and said cheerfully, “You like him very much.”
“The young man is very likable, don’t you like him too?” Aunt Shen replied without pausing her movements.
Chu Qianze had bought the things and was on his way back when he suddenly heard a cry, which seemed to belong to a little girl. He continued to walk forward, and sure enough, he saw a little girl standing under the tree, wiping tears from her eyes, looking aggrieved.
[Special character unlocked: ??, A half-vampire, half-human race.]
Chu Qianze’s eyes flashed, and he walked over to ask, “What’s the matter?”
“My balloon flew to the tree.” The little girl sobbed, tears dripping down her face, very sad.
Chu Qianze glanced above and pointed to a place in the tree canopy, “Is it that red balloon?”
The little girl nodded, followed by looking up, sucking her little snot from time to time. “It flew to the top and got stuck.”
Chu Qianze gestured to the height of the canopy in his heart, and blinked at the little girl. “Don’t cry, brother will take the balloon off for you.”
He put the things he bought next to him and walked two steps to the bottom of the tree. He jumped up, hooked his hand to the trunk, and landed directly on it. The whole action was neat and handsome. He stretched out his hand and the balloon was taken down.
The little girl wowed unconsciously, her eyes widened, and her eyes almost shone like a star. “Brother is so handsome!”
Chu Qianze jumped down and bent over to give the balloon to the little girl. “Here, don’t lose it again.”
The little girl blinked, but didn’t answer.
“I’ll give the balloon to big brother, how about big brother marrying me?”
Chu Qianze choked when he heard this, people are so direct now.
“I’m afraid that won’t work.”
“Why? Isn’t An An very cute?”
The little girl wrinkled her whole face, and blood seemed to flash in her green eyes. It disappeared very fast, as if it had never appeared before.
Because the gender is different, little girl.
Chu Qianze smiled and touched her head, but said nothing.
“Xiao An.” A mellow voice sounded from behind, and the little girl raised her head and ran straight behind Chu Qianze.
Chu Qianze wanted to stop the girl and give her the balloon. He turned his head and saw a person standing over there.
It was a well-dressed man with blond hair who seemed to exude elegance and refinement, even in his hair. He had a temperament that rejected people for thousands of miles, making people afraid to approach him.
But at that moment, Chu Qianze’s attention was on the suddenly refreshed screen.
[Special character unlocked: Bo Yu, blond with blue eyes, pureblood vampire.]
[Special character unlocked: Bo An, brown hair with blue eyes, half-blood vampire.]
After glancing at the man and then at Bo An, who was standing next to him with a well-behaved face about the height of the man’s thigh, Chu Qianze ruled out the option of them being siblings in his heart.
So these two are…
Father and daughter?
[The two are brothers and sisters.]
Chu Qianze: I thought you didn’t know how to reply to questions?
“Don’t run around.” After Bo Yu said these words, he raised his eyes to the person standing in front of him.
Wearing a casual shirt and jeans was very unorthodox for his aesthetic. This person had wide shoulders and a narrow waist, and his pants undoubtedly showed off his long legs, which was a rare good figure. That face was also rare among humans.
But that extremely bad dress really ruined that model figure.
Chu Qianze felt the unabashed gaze of the person on the opposite side but didn’t react. So when Bo Yu said that he had something to deal with, was he playing outside with his sister?
His thoughts didn’t affect his expression. He walked over and handed the balloon in his hand to Bo An, and said, “You forgot to take this.”
Because Bo An had her brother by her side, she didn’t dare do anything else, so she stretched out his little hand to hold the balloon. “Thank you.”
“Big brother, do you want to go with An An?” As soon as Bo An finished speaking, she was scolded by Bo Yu. She lowered her head slightly, looking a little lost.
“I apologize, she’s not very sensible.”
Bo Yu evoked a polite smile.
“It’s fine, she’s still a child.” Chu Qianze shrugged and said indifferently.
He just didn’t know how old this child was.
“Then we’ll go first, be careful on the road.” Bo Yu nodded to Chu Qianze, and then took Bo An to the car that stopped not far away.
Chu Qianze turned his head, picked up the bag not far away, and walked to the villa. The plastic bag in his hand made noises from time to time.
When he first saw the man named Bo Yu, the coldness and arrogance hidden under that hypocritical smile appeared in his mind.
No wonder he couldn’t make a good impression.
Because that person was the same kind as himself.
Who would like the feeling of looking in the mirror, especially their old self?
He took out a box of mints from his pocket, opened it directly, and poured it into his mouth twice. The cool feeling spread from his taste buds and slowly penetrated into his heart.
Tsk.
“Troublesome.”
