Xia Chuhe silently moved a step to the side and saw who pushed the door open.
He was dressed in a well-tailored black tuxedo, a crisp white shirt, and his hair was perfectly styled. He wore spotless white gloves as he pushed open the door.
This is an English butler who looks like he stepped out of a TV series.
"Beautiful lady, I hope you weren't hurt. I apologize for my rudeness." The butler apologized, but his eyes were full of frivolous smiles.
Xia Chuhe rubbed his index finger and thumb together: "What's the use of apologizing if you're injured? Aren't you going to offer anything?"
The butler's eyes widened slightly, but he quickly donned his perfect mask, elegantly raised his arm, unbuttoned his cuffs to reveal his wristwatch: "Beautiful lady, please~"
When Xia Chuhe bought the watch, he had already learned the basic usage, and the two of them lightly touched the watch.
"10,000 points have been credited to your account."
The cold, mechanical voice was deliberately turned on by Xia Chuhe.
The butler's perfect mask shattered once again.
"Thank you, see you later." Xia Chuhe took his leave.
“Beautiful lady, I have a business opportunity I’d like to discuss with you,” the butler said, raising his voice slightly.
Xia Chuhe stopped in his tracks: "First of all, you can call me Xia."
“Yes, Miss Xia,” the butler said with a smile.
Sister Li knocked on the door frame, attracting the attention of the group: "Hey, Lao Guan, you can't fool me anymore, so you've switched to fooling young girls."
The butler's perfect mask could no longer be glued back on; it had completely crumbled.
The butler's elegant black bow tie buckled with anger: "Li Yueniang, I invited you and you refused, so I can't invite others either!"
Sister Li: "Explain the situation to Xia clearly. If Xia is willing to go, I will not stop her."
The butler straightened his bow tie: "Miss Xia, please allow me to introduce myself—I am the butler's butler, my name is Butler."
Xia Chuhe: ...What? This self-introduction is more difficult than the 800 standard soldiers running on the north slope.
Sister Li interrupted: "Don't you understand? Let me explain. His surname is Guan and his given name is Jia. He works as a butler. His boss is a major shareholder of Five Star Company, and the major shareholder's surname is also Guan."
Xia Chuhe: "Understood."
You two are putting on a comedy routine.
The butler continued, "The Animal World instance will open in three days. I would like to ask Miss Xia to enter the instance and capture some animals for the company's experimental research."
"I just heard Miss Xia selling things, making food, and identifying mushrooms. I suppose Miss Xia also has some experience in identifying animals. Perhaps she can find the most productive animal in the dungeon. The species is not limited, as long as it is highly productive."
Xia Chuhe: ...
To be honest, she does know a little bit.
The simplest example is distinguishing between laying hens and broilers.
Among laying hens, it is also possible to distinguish higher-producing individuals by their appearance, behavior, and temperament.
Another thing is to distinguish the cows.
Judging from the breed and appearance alone, one can determine whether a dairy cow has a high milk production base, but a more detailed judgment requires measuring data such as milk yield and milk fat percentage.
Xia Chuhe didn't understand. The acquisition point buys many creatures from the dungeons every day. Five-Star Company is such a big company, why don't they buy them, raise them, record data, and screen them?
But adhering to the principle of saying less to avoid making mistakes, she refrained from asking.
"Keep talking~" Sister Li urged the housekeeper.
The butler coughed lightly: "It's like this, the Animal World is a large instance under official jurisdiction. According to the survivors, the Animal World is rich in resources, but it's difficult for them to bring any out because they forget about collecting resources once they go in. Even if they keep reminding themselves with a voice recorder, they still forget. Most survivors only bring back a few grains of wheat, rice, and corn at most."
"The official assessment is that there is a mental attack within the instance. Fortunately, Five Star Corporation found a medical-type evolved human who can treat mental trauma and successfully brought some animals out of the instance. However, the animals they brought out are not very productive and are unable to adapt to life in the wasteland. Therefore, the company needs some people who can select animals."
"I believe Miss Xia is the right candidate. As for the compensation, you can rest assured that it will definitely satisfy you."
Sister Li scoffed.
When facing the housekeeper, Sister Li was like a different person, her mouth becoming particularly sharp: "Old housekeeper, you really didn't mention a word about the most dangerous thing."
The butler grinned and forced out a sentence through gritted teeth: "Of course, there are dangers every time you go into a dungeon. I think Miss Xia should know that."
"Let me tell you, Xia," Sister Li said, her smile fading. "The animals brought out of the dungeon have completely stopped producing anything and are exhibiting symptoms like refusing to eat or drink. The survivors who came out of the dungeon, on the other hand, have become exceptionally—"
Sister Li frowned, seemingly unable to find the right words to describe it.
"There's a term in the old world called 'King of Rolls,' I don't know if you understand what it means."
Xia Chuhe, who once briefly worked as a corporate slave, understands the meaning of this phrase all too well.
Seeing Xia Chuhe nod, Sister Li continued, "The survivors have become extremely dedicated 'Kings of the Roll.' They regard the organization's interests above all else, dedicate everything to the organization without expecting anything in return, and are willing to shed their blood and sacrifice their lives. It has reached a pathological point."
Xia Chuhe wanted to leave immediately. As someone who loved to slack off, she found it hard to imagine what it would be like to become a "king of currying off".
"The Scroll Kings will continuously run dungeons, doing their utmost and risking their lives to collect resources. These Scroll Kings will die in the dungeons sooner or later. The longest-surviving Scroll King so far has not exceeded three months."
"The authorities tried to control the actions of the 'Scroll Kings' by means of solitary confinement, imprisonment, and binding, but the 'Scroll Kings' used all sorts of methods to escape, including but not limited to feigning illness, self-harm, eating feces, cross-dressing, seduction, digging tunnels with spoons, and controlling drones to carry themselves away."
"Their escape had only one purpose: to raid dungeons for supplies and hand them over to the organization that imprisoned them."
"So far, the only known survivor is a big shot surnamed Xin, who is currently fighting in some unknown instance."
Sister Li gave a mocking smile: "Old Guan, how could you bear to push me into a fire pit?"
The butler slowly fiddled with his cufflinks, the exquisite silver cufflinks gleaming with a cold luster.
“Your abilities are extraordinary. The more resource-rich the dungeon, the better you will fare. Besides…” the butler said softly, “the company will recruit twenty mercenaries for you. They will spare no effort to protect you, even at the cost of their lives.”
The butler looked at Xia Chuhe: "Miss Xia, the company will provide you with the same amenities as Li Yueniang. What do you think?"
