Chapter 1 Master, calm down
"If you can't cure her, I want all of you to be buried with her!"
When Jian Yue opened his eyes, he heard an angry roar coming from the front. It was a huge RV with luxurious and cool decoration on the body. A beautiful star-shaped roof could be seen, which exuded an aura of wealth and the wealth of the owner of the car. If it weren't for the angry roar that was still continuing, everything would be beautiful.
"Butler Wang! What are you daydreaming about? Believe it or not, I will make you be buried with me!!"
Jian Yue turned his head, which was originally looking at the starry sky, back. There was a moment of confusion on his face, and then he pointed at himself almost slowly, "Me?"
"Who else can I call if not you?" the man in a suit said angrily, "Did you find the information I asked you to look up?"
Jian Yue sat up slowly, and almost at the same moment, his brain, which had been a little sluggish due to just waking up, finally started to work. Yes, in his memory, he should have had a car accident on the way to pick up a package. The big truck lost control and hit him, and he lost consciousness almost instantly. If there was no accident, he should have been dead.
Even if he's not dead, he should be in the hospital. Why is he here?
Jian Yue had a splitting headache.
A virtual light screen emitting blue light suddenly appeared silently in my mind: [Intern No. 543 has been successfully loaded. The content of this task is being loaded for you...]
?
What?
Just as Jian Yue was wondering, the mechanical voice sounded in his ears again, and the panel reloaded and a new page appeared:
[Dungeon name: "Genius Baby and Pretty Mommy: The Young Mistress's 99 Escapes"]
[Player identity: Butler Wang]
[Main Quest: Find the secret of Wanfu Village and leave alive]
Tips: [Current health value is 45%. If the health value is less than 1%, the player will die. Please increase the health value in time. Please increase the health value in time! ]
After the system released this series of messages, it fell silent, as if waiting for the person in front of it to collapse from fright.
However--
Jian Yue looked at the pop-up interface, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said: "Why am I called Butler Wang? My last name is not Wang, so shouldn't I be Butler Jian?"
system:"……"
It seems that there are very few novice taskers who would not scream and panic when seeing the panel and the life-and-death situation, but would care about such issues. It fell silent for a moment.
And not far away.
The CEO in a suit in the car continued to roar: "Butler Wang! I'm talking to you!"
System: "[Important NPC's rage increased, the player's current health value reduced to 30%]"
Jian Yue turned his head to look at the CEO who was so angry that his face turned blue. His eyes were particularly fierce. He pointed at him and said, "Believe it or not, I will throw you out of the car right now. If anything happens to the lady, you will be buried with her!"
System: "[Current health value is 10%!]"
The panel is even marked red.
A trace of helplessness flashed across Jian Yue's elegant face, but he adjusted himself immediately. He was wearing old-fashioned black glasses, which made him look like a really old-fashioned butler, but the eyes under the frame were as clear and clean as gemstones. He stood up and said politely, "Master, please don't say that. I believe Madam will be fine."
The president's anger was cut off by these calm but serious words. He snorted coldly: "Of course I know she will be fine. I won't let her die without my permission!"
Jian Yue: “…”
Although the president's tone was still bad, a pop-up panel appeared: [Current health value is 20%]
This employer is surprisingly easy to please.
Jian Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At least he wouldn't have to be buried with the dead, he comforted himself.
The president seemed to come to his senses again and brought up the old matter with a cold tone: "Where is the information about Wanfu Village that I asked you to look up?"
Although the man in front of him was just an NPC according to the system, in the dungeon, he was also a successful and wealthy man in power, so he still felt very oppressive.
Jian Yue didn't intend to lie and said honestly, "Sorry, Master, I didn't find it."
The air seemed to freeze in an instant.
The president's eyes narrowed slightly, with a deep and unfathomable look. After a while, he sneered and said, "Damn it, it's true!"
Jian Yue: “…”
Evil capitalism
Since we already know it, why do we need him to check it?
However, he still performed his duties as a steward diligently, flattering him without changing his expression, "Young Master is as good as a god."
The president sneered in a noble and cold manner.
System: "[Current health value is 30%, has reached the safe value]"
Jian Yue let out an inaudible sigh of relief.
In fact, this was an answer that was somewhat like a gamble. If he angered the person in front of him again, the consequences would be disastrous. However, he didn't know the temper of the NPC in front of him. If he lied to him, the consequences might be even more serious. Fortunately, he made the right bet.
The president paced anxiously on the spot, saying as he walked: "I knew it wasn't that simple. Wanfu Village is his territory. That ghost place is an ominous place. The people living there are all a bunch of monsters!"
Jian Yue keenly noticed the key words and was about to continue listening.
The president suddenly turned his head and looked at him, saying loudly: "Butler Wang, keep checking. I want all its information within three days!"
Jian Yue: “…Yes.”
The life of a worker is so hard, he is tired and doesn't love it.
Just thinking about it.
The president's words fell from above his head: "After all, I spend hundreds of thousands of dollars every month to support you, and it's not for free. If something happens in Wanfu Village, you will all be buried with me!"
Jian Yue's expression changed, and he said in a resounding voice: "Master, rest assured, leave it to me."
As the two were talking, a faint female voice came from the innermost part of the RV. The president's face changed and he immediately ignored the housekeeper's affairs and walked in. After he left, the carriage became quiet again.
The system felt that after experiencing all this, Jian Yue must have wanted to ask it about Wanfu Village in order to save his life. This is what every collapsed novice would do, even if they fell into the water and had no one to rely on, they could only desperately grab the only life-saving straw, panicking and making an ugly scene.
However.
Jian Yue was silent for a moment, then asked, "Is the housekeeper's salary real?"
System: “…Really.”
Jian Yue's eyes lit up, and before he could ask how to get the money, the system said coldly: "If you survive to get it."
“…”
As if it knew his despair, the system's mechanical voice sounded at the right time: "[Players, please start drawing your skill cards before officially entering the danger zone. Please note that proper use of card energy skills will increase the player's survival rate!]"
Jian Yue didn't even have time to ask.
As the system finished speaking, three skill cards floating in the air suddenly appeared in front of him. The appearance of these cards all exuded a bright blue color and it was impossible to tell the difference. He wanted to get closer to see it more clearly, but before his fingers even touched the cards, one of the cards flowed into his body along his hand like cool running water.
"etc……"
He had no time to stop or protest. He felt numb all over, as if in a dream. He seemed to be fixed in place, and his soul had left his body. It was not until the system's voice came that he was brought back to reality:
[Congratulations to intern No. 543 for winning the golden card entry skill - Gossip! Please use your survival skills properly in the dungeon. I wish you a smooth passage through the dungeon! ]
?
Wait, what is that? Gossip? What is this for?
Jian Yue was completely dumbfounded.
And on a huge square screen, the entire card pool was a deep black, like the vast starry sky, with dotted cards suspended in it. Suddenly, a golden light flashed for an instant, and it officially appeared in the card pool.
A passing player paused, and after double-checking, he exclaimed: "A gold card has appeared in the dungeon!!"
One stone can cause a thousand ripples.
“Is this true?”
"Someone drew a gold card!"
“Is this the registered card?”
"I checked the card book, and there's no serial number. This is a brand new gold card with unknown abilities!"
"Is he new?"
"I don't know, go in and take a look!"
[Currently 131 people are online in the live broadcast room]
[Likes 0, number of followers 0]
Jian Yue, who was sitting in the shabby house, didn't know that someone was watching him. He could get the card himself. Looking at the small card that appeared out of thin air in his hand, he clicked on the annotation of the card:
[SSS-level Gossip Card]: No matter it is windy or rainy, gossip will always be your good partner to relieve boredom. When you encounter an enemy equipped with the card, a piece of gossip will be randomly triggered. The card cooldown time is 12 hours. Please prepare the melon seeds and peanuts, the show is about to begin!
Jian Yue: "...Is it the kind of gossip I was thinking of?"
System: “Yes.”
"You mean," Jian Yue said expressionlessly, "when we enter that village that is said to be full of monsters, I will rely on listening to gossip and fighting with them to increase my survival rate?"
The system fell silent.
Jian Yue recalled his current situation. In the morning, he met a boss with an unpredictable temper. At noon, he faced a fluctuating health value. At night, he went to a village that he heard was full of monsters. When the time came, he would take out the cards to listen to some gossip, and then lie down in the coffin. When the suona sounded, his life would be over.
The audience in the live broadcast room all laughed loudly after seeing the cards:
"Is this Jinka's skill?"
"It's like putting gold rims on a shit pot."
"The mortality rate in this dungeon is extremely high!"
"What the hell is this new guy starting off with?"
"When you encounter a ghost, just take this broken card and wait for death, host, hahahaha!"
