"Those of us who have just come in, no matter if we were abducted or sent here by our families, cannot leave Fengyue Tower. Unless you reach Changsan, you cannot leave." When the little girl said this, there was a bit of depression in her eyes.
Lu Yunxi didn't pay attention to her words, but stared at the system panel in the air.
The experience bar, which hadn't moved in a while, actually rose a little! It was only a small amount, but it was still progress!
She was overjoyed and carefully recalled what had happened in the past few days.
I remember when she was selling flowers, her experience bar didn't increase. Was it because she was knocked unconscious? Was she sold? Or...
She suddenly looked up and looked at the little girl beside her with a smile like a big bad wolf.
She sat down cross-legged and patted the empty space beside her: "Come, sit next to me and let's talk."
…
The little girl's name is Ling'er. She was sold to Fengyue Tower by her family a year ago and now works as a handyman in the building.
The people in the building are roughly divided into girls who receive customers and other staff.
The girls who receive customers are divided into five levels, from high to low, namely, the courtesan, the clerk, the waitress, the barmaid, and the bar girl. When they reach the level of clerk, they can go out; the other staff include servants, cooks, thugs and maids. Among them, only the cooks and thugs can go out, and the others are not allowed to go out.
"Then I want to be a thug, is that okay?" After thinking for a while, Lu Yunxi asked silently.
She is so good in every aspect, so why doesn't she do the easiest job for her?
"No!" The madam who just came in heard this and immediately shouted.
"Mom!" Ling'er was startled and stood up nervously. She clenched her hands nervously and looked at the madam cautiously.
The madam glanced at her and waved her hand impatiently: "Get out first."
Ling'er glanced at Lu Yunxi worriedly, signaling her to be obedient, and then walked out uneasily.
When only Lu Yunxi and the madam were left in the room.
The woman who bought Lu Yunxi had a cold expression on her face, with a cold glint in her eyes: "Since you're already here, then just stay here and don't even think about leaving! If I find out that you're running away, don't blame me..."
"No! Of course I won't go out!" Lu Yunxi looked at the rising experience bar, with a wolfish look in his eyes.
Madam:?
She was a little surprised and wondered if the little girl in front of her was deliberately lying to her in order to make her let down her guard. However, no matter how she looked at it, she could only see sincerity and desire.
"...Okay, then. You'll do the odd jobs for now," the madam thought for a moment. "Starting tomorrow, you'll clean the front hall in the mornings, and spend the afternoons in the backyard studying music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Is that okay?"
"Music, chess, calligraphy, and painting?"
"Yes, if you want to be a superior person and live a good life, you must study hard. If you don't learn well, don't blame me for sending you to those dirty places!" After repeated warnings, the madam left coquettishly.
Afterwards, Ling'er took her to where the servants lived.
In order to encourage everyone to work hard, different things are used at each level in the Fengyue Building.
As a handyman, Lu Yunxi lived in a place similar to the one where she woke up. It was shabby enough, but it was a large bunk bed. And with each level up, the food, clothing, and housing would get better.
Of course, she didn't care about any of this. As long as it helped her level up, that was all that mattered.
*
Early in the morning, before the sun had fully risen, Lu Yunxi was pulled up.
First, I went to the hall to clean up the tables, chairs, dishes, and sweep the floor. After a long time, it was finally time for dinner.
She strode into the kitchen.
"New here? Why are you here so late?! There's nothing to eat right now!" The cook glanced at her and said, "How about this, I have another vegetable dumpling here. Take it if you want."
"I heard there's a new person here, so I left this for you. How about it? Are you touched?"
Lu Yunxi looked at the vegetable dumpling in front of him, which had rolled on the ground for who knows how many times, was covered in mud and had a big bite taken out of it, with a strange expression on his face.
She said nothing and silently took the vegetable dumpling.
Then.
Lu Yunxi pinched the cook's chin with one hand and threw the vegetable dumpling into her mouth with the other hand, then quickly pinched her chin tightly to prevent her from spitting it out.
"I didn't even have breakfast, and I gave you the only vegetable dumpling I had. What do you think? Are you touched?" she said with a smile.
The cook's eyes widened, and she grabbed her hand tightly, trying to break free from her shackles. However, her veins bulged, and she couldn't get rid of this hand that was stronger than steel.
Seeing that she swallowed it, Lu Yunxi released the hand that was holding her chin and smiled gently.
"I wonder if there's anything left for me to eat?"
The cook gasped, touched her neck which still felt painful, and looked at her in disbelief: "Yes, yes! Wait a minute!"
After saying that, she lowered her head, hiding the hatred in her eyes, and began to cook silently.
Lu Yunxi smiled relaxedly, found a place to sit down, closed his eyes and waited.
The cook who was picking vegetables with her head down suddenly looked up and looked at the man with his eyes closed, and she became restless.
She carefully picked up the rolling pin on the chopping board and walked over tentatively step by step.
He was about to walk in front of Lu Yunxi, but he didn't even notice him.
The cook was overjoyed and raised her rolling pin to hit Lu Yunxi on the head.
However--
Her hand was suddenly grabbed, and the familiar feeling of being unable to move appeared again.
