For a maid, a job that doesn't involve fighting or killing, to earn three thousand coins a month is truly a lot. And she'd seen the name "Sunny Villa" in the story before: it was the villa of the male protagonist, Zhao Feiyang.

Zhao Feiyang is a high-level player at level 98. However, he never attacks others unless they attack him first. He only kills those who attack him first. He continued to level up in this way until he reached level 98.

Then he remained at level 98 for over a year, supposedly because no one dared to challenge him anymore.

Come to think of it, a high-level player at level 98 is probably only someone above level 98 who can fight against him! But players at level 99 have all seemingly left behind and actually died.

Among those at level 98, few have stayed as long as he has. Anyone with a bit of sense would challenge other level 98 opponents in order to reach level 99.

However, it is said that when he first reached level 98, some players of the same level challenged him. He did not kill them, but just fought them. Each time he fought them so badly that they wished they were dead, and after a few rounds, they said they would never dare to come looking for him again.

After all, in this game world, you'll feel real pain when you get injured.

Chu Nian felt that Zhao Feiyang was a sensible person like the original owner, who had already guessed that in this game, whether you were at the maximum level or not, you were destined to die here.

Staying at level 98 like him is actually the wisest choice.

The original owner of this body didn't have his ruthlessness; she wouldn't dare kill those who came to kill her, so she would only die early on.

Chu Nian went to apply for a job, only to find that there were many female players applying for jobs here, some even above level 80! Come to think of it, if you can reach level 80, you should have killed a lot of people by now, so why are you applying for a maid job?

It seems there are quite a few people who want to latch onto the male lead, Zhao Feiyang, just like Chu Nian.

Chu Nian noticed that one of them was a girl named Li Shuangshuang, who was only about eighteen or nineteen years old and only at level two. She looked very scared, standing there timidly looking around, her body still trembling.

She was a player who had only recently joined the game. Like the original owner, she was probably terrified after discovering that killing someone in the game would result in a real-life person with the same name and a coma, and she stopped killing.

For a level-two novice player to survive and apply for a job here, Chu Nian couldn't find any other reason besides the protection of the female lead's halo. This Li Shuangshuang was the female lead.

Honestly, it's foolish not to cling to a powerful figure when there's a strong backer. Chu Nian walked over to Li Shuangshuang and whispered to her, "Little sister, how did you get dragged into this game at such a young age?"

Li Shuangshuang was already trembling with fear, and when she heard her gentle voice, her eyes reddened and tears almost fell.

But when Li Shuangshuang looked up and saw the level 60 on Chu Niantian's head, she was startled and quickly took several steps back: Level 60, how many people would one have to kill to reach that level!

Chu Nian approached her again and whispered, "Don't be afraid, my level 60 is fake, it's just to scare people. I'm just like you, level 2."

Li Shuangshuang breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "So you're also level two. I only realized this after killing an opponent: when an opponent dies, someone else dies in real life too."

Chu Nian immediately nodded solemnly and said, "That's right, I've also discovered it, so I dare not kill anymore, it's too scary."

Li Shuangshuang nodded her head vigorously, saying, "Yes, I also think it's terrifying. How can there be such a game?" After a pause, she added, "You... also want to apply for the maid position?"

Chu Nian nodded and said, "There's no other way. Only by working here can I get the protection of Zhao Feiyang, a level 98 high-level player."

Li Shuangshuang, with red eyes and a troubled expression, finally said after a long while, "But it seems that they only hire one maid here."

Chu Nian said, "Yeah, I wonder who they'll choose." After thinking for a moment, she lowered her own level to level two.

The other applicants looked at her strangely after seeing what she did: there was probably more than one person here who had seen the bounty notice posted by the system.

However, the bounty notice did not mention that the bugged boss had the ability to change its level; so although everyone felt that her behavior was a bit strange and reminded them of the big boss, they had no evidence to prove that the woman in front of them was the boss in the short term.

Furthermore, the tag above Chu Nian's name shows that she has been in the game for less than a month. In such a short time, she wants to reach level 60 without teaming up with strong players. Haha, who has such an ability?

Furthermore, she is currently whispering to a level 2 newbie, and her expression even shows a fawning and flattering look. Could such a person be the big boss?

One of the female players who came to apply said disdainfully, "Look at you, a level 2 newbie actually came to apply for a maid position for a high-level player. He's really got guts."

The second one said, "In my opinion, they're not brave, they're just shameless."

The third one: "Not only are you shameless, but you're also incredibly stupid. Don't be so daring to associate with just anyone here. Don't think that just because you're a Level 2 and everyone else is Level 2, you're all on the same level."

The third person's words seemed to be a reminder to Li Shuangshuang and Chu Nian to be careful of each other, but when one of them is alone and faces her, she probably won't be so "kind".

...

As they were whispering among themselves, the sound of high heels clicking on the stairs came from inside, and everyone immediately fell silent.

The person who arrived was the housekeeper of Xiangyang Villa. She was a middle-aged woman in her forties, an NPC (player versus player), and was probably hired.

She stood on the stairs leading to the second floor, looking down at the female players who had transformed into maid outfits in the lobby. The players hadn't changed their outfits themselves; the butler had used the system to do it, so that the master of the place could more easily find the one who looked best in the maid outfit.

The butler's gaze finally settled on Chu Nian and Li Shuangshuang, looking them up and down before pointing at Li Shuangshuang and saying, "It's you."

"What?!" The audience erupted in uproar.

"Why her, a newbie who's only at level two?"

"Where are we inferior to her?"

"Yeah, we're all higher level than her, so why her?"

"Also, she's not the only one at level two, so why was she chosen?"

...

As they talked, the group started to get restless. One of them nudged Chu Nian and said, "Look at you, you and Li Shuangshuang are both level two, but they chose Li Shuangshuang and not you. Why are you just standing there and not daring to say anything?"
