Seeing that the other girl still seemed to be feeling nervous and scared, Gu Xinghe continued to speak to Li Ruoshan.
"I am Gu Xinghe, and my profession is translation. I'd say I have a pretty good memory."
Before Gu Xinghe transmigrated here, he worked part-time as a translator of a less common language related to his major after graduation.
It's a classic example of a business that doesn't open for a year, but then makes enough to live off for the rest of the year.
His major in a less commonly taught language in college wasn't exactly a reason for him not to find a stable job.
For example, companies that have partnerships with local businesses also need to hire long-term, stable translators.
But Gu Xinghe still prefers the current situation where he can freely decide when to start work and when to take a break.
"My name is Chen Manman, and I am an artist."
Finally, we introduce Chen Manman, whose emotions seemed somewhat unstable from the very beginning.
There seemed to be a hint of fear in her voice.
While the five were still introducing themselves and getting to know each other...
In the real world, five thriller game livestreams featuring these five main characters have quietly begun—
[We're doomed. Almost all four players in this game work in clerical positions.]
The only one who seemed to have some fighting ability was actually a chef.
[That's not entirely true; many horror games also have puzzle-solving and exploration-oriented levels.]
But this time the dungeon is Rose Manor! It seems the players are really in trouble this time.
The guy who watched the Rose Manor livestream was in despair.
[But it seems that all five players calmed down relatively quickly this time, hopefully they'll have a good ending.]
Step—step—step—
The sound of footsteps coming from the entrance of the castle interrupted Gu Xinghe and his group's conversation.
Gu Xinghe turned his head to look—
What came into view was a maid with long silver-gray hair.
She was dressed in a black and white maid outfit, with a Katyusha headdress on her head.
Perhaps for the convenience of her work, she tied her beautiful, smooth long hair back into a high ponytail.
She looks somewhat aloof yet dashing.
Her hands were neatly placed on her lower abdomen, and she wore two sleeves on her wrists, mainly made of black fabric and decorated with white lace.
Against the backdrop of white lace trim and white stockings, the black leather leg rings faintly visible on her thighs stand out even more.
She was wearing a pair of small black leather shoes, and the sound of her footsteps on the ground wasn't loud.
As she approached, the outermost iron gate of the entire Rose Manor slowly opened—
Just like the name of Rose Estate.
From the outside, the manor's outer walls, even every single fence on the iron gates, are clearly visible.
The rose vines that had grown in a winding manner had spread and climbed all over the place.
Like an ancient, eerie, and terrifying castle that no one lives in.
It's like being tightly bound by rose thorns, unable to escape.
The doors, which opened automatically to both sides without any human intervention, seemed to be pulled open as if by the rose thorns themselves.
Crackle—crackle—crackle—
Like a ferocious beast opening its mouth, the depths of the manor seemed to be waiting for the players, as prey, to automatically step into a pre-prepared trap.
The sound of the door opening was not pleasant, especially given the tense atmosphere among everyone.
While everyone was still feeling uneasy, the maid had already walked from the castle gate to the manor gate and stood in front of the five of them.
“I am Eiffel, the head maid of Rose Manor.”
The silver-haired maid's voice was cold and clear, like a biting wind howling down from a snow-capped mountain.
"You must be the job applicants for the manor."
Eiffel's silver-gray inorganic eyes swept over everyone.
But for some reason, when she looked at Gu Xinghe, her eyes seemed to carry a different meaning.
Seeing this, Gu Xinghe raised an eyebrow.
But in his mind, he was wondering if his cheat code would still be effective in this horror game.
He decided to concentrate and try to listen to the maid's thoughts—
[...]
[...]
I didn't hear anything.
This is the result after Gu Xinghe activated his cheat ability.
Is it that cheat codes don't work for characters in game dungeons?
Or is it that Eiffel, though a maid, is actually very strong, and he simply cannot hear the thoughts of a powerful person?
Or perhaps, the maid isn't a living person at all, but a robot or a controlled puppet-like being.
Therefore, there is no such thing as a "voice of the heart".
Gu Xinghe quickly checked Chen Licheng and the other three to make sure his skills were still functioning properly.
Stay calm! Stay steady! I can do this!
Why, why was I chosen?!
【This is so scary! I don't want to go in!】
Calm down, calm down...
After their conversation, the four of them appeared calmer on the surface, but inside they were still extremely panicked.
At that moment, Eiffel spoke again.
"Please take out the offer letters issued by the manor; I need to verify them."
Upon hearing this, Chen Licheng, who seemed to know the most about horror games, quickly realized what was going on.
With trembling hands, he handed Eiffel a slightly crumpled letter of acceptance.
The letter of acceptance was found by Gu Xinghe and the other four during their previous discussion; it had been placed in their pockets.
The letter appears to be an old-fashioned piece of paper, with the names of five people and the positions they are applying for written on it.
In the lower right corner is a rose-shaped dark red pattern, which seems to be a symbol of the Rose Manor.
Based on the contents of the letter, the five people hold different positions, making it seem difficult for them to work together to overcome the difficulties as previously stated.
"Chen Licheng, the position you are applying for is chef, and you will be responsible for working as a kitchen helper."
After reviewing the letter, Eiffel returned the offer letter to Chen Licheng.
Meanwhile, the other person was silently taking notes on the tasks they were responsible for.
"Li Cheng, the position you are applying for is warehouse manager, and you will help to tally and calculate the relevant supplies needed for this banquet."
"Chen Manman is applying for the position of gardener, responsible for maintaining and tending the small garden."
"Li Ruoshan, applying for the position of designer, to help decorate the banquet hall."
Eiffel quickly checked the four job offers one by one and promptly assigned them the corresponding tasks.
"Gu Xinghe, the position you are applying for is housekeeper."
After receiving the letter from Gu Xinghe with both hands.
Eiffel read the words aloud in a slow, deliberate tone, then reluctantly handed the letter back to Gu Xinghe.
"As you all know, Rose Manor will be holding an important banquet in six days."
And it was at this time, when the manor needed people, that you came to apply for jobs.
I hope everyone can work hard, otherwise...
Eiffel's words came to an abrupt end.
