Lin Xu's expression turned completely cold:
"Only humans are allowed in my room. Even if a dog bares its teeth and breathes at me, it has no right to enter a human's room."
"you!"
The butler was furious, pointing at Lin Xu, speechless for a moment.
After a long pause, the steward turned to look at the two guards:
"What are you two idiots standing there for! This guy is rude to me, which means he's rude to the school district head. Deal with him now!"
The two guards exchanged a glance. Although they were also unhappy with the butler's attitude, they were just ordinary people living on a salary and dared not offend him.
They stepped forward, about to attack Lin Xu.
Lin Xu frowned even more deeply.
He had clearly heard the butler identify himself as the school district head.
The so-called school district head is actually the administrator of a district.
Because the island world exists, schools that spread island knowledge are of high value, so each school district has a special division, and there are dedicated administrators responsible for the management and construction of the school district.
These managers are similar to general regional managers, and they also have performance indicators to assess. However, the school district's assessment has additional requirements, namely, that students' grades are also taken into consideration.
Therefore, in theory, the head of the school district in each region still values the schools very much.
Of course, this system looks reasonable and wonderful on the surface, but with the rampant aristocracy, even the lowest-level administrators, such as the school district head, still have their positions monopolized by the aristocracy.
When nobles actually took the position of school district head, almost none of them cared much about normal development to improve the district's strength. Instead, they were constantly using various means to make money, gain merit, and acquire slaves.
The idea that a school district head is genuinely working hard for the district's development is nothing but a joke.
Since the butler in front of him was sent by the school district head, it's most likely that the school district head, a nobleman, learned of his talent and wanted to gain some benefits.
At this moment, two guards reached out and grabbed Lin Xu.
They knew the housekeeper had come to see Lin Xu, so they didn't dare to hurt him too badly.
However, Lin Xu had already been strengthened by the island lord's world. How could two ordinary guards without an island, even if they had undergone professional training, possibly fight against an island lord?
Lin Xu easily knocked down the two guards with a wave of his hand, then looked indifferently at the butler.
The butler was terrified by Lin Xu's actions and cried out in alarm:
"What are you trying to do! If you dare lay a hand on me, the school district head will definitely not let you get away with it!"
Lin Xu ignored the butler's threat, reached out and pulled the butler over, pressing him down forcefully.
The butler immediately lost his footing and knelt down in front of Lin Xu.
Lin Xu looked down at the butler:
"Good, this is the perfect angle for a dog to talk to. Now, you'd better kneel down and tell your owner what they want!"
The butler came to his senses slightly and then realized his current posture.
He immediately turned pale with anger, his veins throbbing and his muscles trembling.
For a steward who considered himself half an aristocrat, kneeling before an orphan commoner was even more humiliating than being stripped naked in the street.
However, upon seeing Lin Xu's indifferent gaze and his fist the size of a sandbag, the butler instinctively felt his legs go weak again and truly lacked the courage to stand up once more.
At this moment, the steward secretly regretted that when he first heard about Lin Xu's talent, he immediately reported it to his master.
His master did not hesitate to ask him to come to his door in person to sign a contract with Lin Xu, requiring Lin Xu to serve the school district head for free for three years.
Upon learning that Lin Xu was an orphan with no background and a useless island lord with an awakened area of less than 100 meters, the butler did not conduct any further investigation and confidently arrived with two guards.
In his view, Lin Xu was an orphan and a commoner, and the island was so desolate that he would definitely not dare to resist.
Even if Lin Xu resists, what can a commoner island lord do? A single guard can easily deal with him.
But to everyone's surprise, Lin Xu was so bold as to actually disregard the authority of the nobles and the school district head.
And why is Lin Xu so strong?
Although professional guards are not the kind of superhumans who have been trained for a long time, with the current technology, an ordinary guard is a strong person who is close to the physical limits of an ordinary person. A dozen ordinary people would not be able to defeat him.
How come the two guards were taken down so easily when they got to this kid?
The butler's mind was a complete blank, but Lin Xu was already getting impatient.
"It seems your master doesn't have any demands of me. You're the one who came here to cause trouble for me?"
The butler, regaining his composure and forgetting his pride and anger, quickly said:
"No! My master sent me here. My master wants to sign a contract with you!"
"contract?"
Lin Xu glanced at the butler indifferently.
Like owner, like dog.
The same applies when the statement is reversed.
In other words, judging from the butler's behavior and manner, the butler's master, the district head, is probably not a good person either.
What good could come from a contract delivered by someone like this?
Lin Xu:
"What kind of contract requires a steward like you to deliver it to our doorstep?"
The butler didn't catch the sarcasm in Lin Xu's tone, and felt a little smug when he heard himself being called the head butler.
It turns out this kid isn't some clueless idiot after all; he does understand the "noble" status of a head butler.
The butler, now emboldened, reverted to a hint of his former arrogance and pulled a contract from his pocket:
"This is the contract prepared by our patriarch. I hope you can read the requirements carefully and understand your obligations as a citizen. For the development of the alliance, this is something that any commoner should do."
As he spoke, the butler recalled the humiliation he had suffered and couldn't help but say:
"Furthermore, because of your recent offense and ignorance, which have damaged the dignity of me and my master, your obligations will be increased..."
The butler wanted to say something more, but Lin Xu was too lazy to pay attention to him and snatched the contract away.
Any commoner in the Alliance knows that once nobles start talking about so-called "civic duties" and "the development of the Alliance," nothing good is sure to come of it.
Therefore, when Lin Xu heard what the butler said, he knew that the contract was probably not a good thing.
But he was still very curious about just how shameless this aristocratic school district head who had come to his door could be.
Then, Lin Xu began to read the contents of the contract.
[Citizen Lin Xu, starting today, will voluntarily be recruited by District Head Zhang Zhiqiang. For the next three years, he will obey all orders from District Head Zhang Zhiqiang without any disobedience or negligence.]
During my three-year service period, any development of my superpowers must be accompanied by paying a sufficient price in exchange for the corresponding superpower development qualification.
...
All products produced on my island will be sold to District Head Zhang Zhiqiang at the prices set by him, with no concealment or waste permitted.
[The above contract is a voluntary act by citizen Lin Xu to fulfill his civic duties to the federal government, and is protected by both island laws and federal law. If citizen Lin Xu breaches this contract in any way, his service period with District Head Zhang Zhiqiang will be extended, initially set at lifelong.]
