Chapter 218: Babysitting 21
"Boom, boom, boom."
There was a rhythmic knock on the door, neither light nor heavy, causing everyone to stand still and become alert.
"Good evening, everyone. Is it convenient now?"
…It was the maid’s voice.
But thanks to "Chatting", players are now sensitive to knocks on the door and questions, and dare not respond easily.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing whether the person outside the door was a real maid or some other unknown monster.
The room was quiet for a moment.
The person outside the door waited for a long time but got no response. Instead of leaving, he knocked on the door again, indicating, "I'm coming in."
All the players who heard this were horrified. They reflexively took out items to defend themselves, then backed away quickly, and in an instant they retreated to the other side farthest from the door.
After settling themselves, everyone stared nervously at the turning doorknob, not noticing that they had forgotten something.
Luo Chunxiao still felt that something was wrong. He looked down and saw a crib blocking everyone's way.
The little master who was sleeping soundly in the crib was the closest person to the door in the room. Once the monster outside broke in, the little master would be the first to be hit.
Luo Chunxiao:! ! !
This is the target to be protected in the main mission!
She quickly rushed forward to pull the crib back, at least not to use the young master as a shield.
When the others saw Luo Chunxiao's actions, they suddenly realized that something was wrong and rushed forward to help.
Just as the player was trying to rescue the young master, the door of the room was completely opened, and the maid standing at the door had the same expressionless face as always.
Even when she saw several people surrounding the young master in strange postures, clinging to the edge of his bed with nervous and anxious looks, the maid's expression remained calm.
"What are you doing?"
A calm voice broke the awkward silence.
The players silently withdrew their hands, stood up straight, and pretended that nothing had happened.
Yu Ke, who was standing at the back, pursed her lips tightly, trying hard to suppress the urge to raise the corners of her mouth.
She didn't expect that being slow to react could actually be a good thing, preventing her from becoming a social mortal.
Because she didn't have time to react and squeezed next to the young master, Xiao Piaoliang, who was able to stay out of trouble, was silently pushed to the stage to speak as a representative of the players.
Faced with the glaring looks from her companions, a question mark slowly appeared on Yu Ke's little head.
She turned her head in confusion and looked at Lu Ye, who was also not socially dead, and didn't understand why she was the only one chosen to be the representative.
Everyone looked at Lu Ye, who looked like someone who was not someone to be trifled with, and quickly looked away.
Everyone knows which one to choose between a chubby little cutie and an unruly big devil.
Lu Ye raised his eyelids, clicked his tongue impatiently, pulled Yu Ke over to use as a pillow, and asked the maid in a hoarse voice, "What's the matter?"
The maid did not continue the previous question and answered smoothly: "The master wants to know about the young master's recent situation, and needs you to report your work."
The players' faces darkened when they heard this, and their first reaction was that this was a death notice.
When Yu Ke thought of the cold and oppressive Zhou Shengze and the last meeting which was not so pleasant, she felt uneasy and lowered her eyes to avoid the maid's gaze.
Her fear of Zhou Shengze did not decrease much, and she did not want to contact him...
However, at this moment, the system prompt sounded:
[Personal Task 2: Please strive to become a reporter, you may get unexpected rewards! 】
Yu Ke:?
Looking at the new personal task, she was stunned for a moment, but soon relaxed again.
Nothing is difficult in the world as long as you are willing to give up.
Compared with the illusory unexpected gains, she still wanted to live a stable life, so she declined this new personal mission.
Luo Chunxiao asked the maid: "Do all of us have to go?"
Yu Ke's body, which had just relaxed, immediately tensed up again.
But she changed her mind and decided that it would be a good idea for everyone to go. If everyone went together, they would not be so scared and they could complete the mission at the same time.
So she relaxed again.
Unexpectedly, the maid shook her head and said, "No, the master doesn't like noise, so he doesn't need so many people."
Yu Ke: “…” She was so tired.
Luo Chunxiao: "Then we decide who will go?"
The maid shook her head again and calmly took out a small box that the players had seen before.
Looking at the small box, Yu Ke had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, the next second, the maid said, "Please draw lots to decide."
Everyone had different expressions upon hearing this, but most of them didn't look happy, especially Shi Caijun who had drawn the second position. He didn't believe in his luck at all.
Luo Chunxiao, the third position player who also had a bad hand: "...May I ask how many people won the lottery?"
Everyone looked at the maid anxiously, and everyone had the same idea at this moment - as long as it wasn't just one person!
The maid held up the small box and motioned for the first person to come up and draw lots. "Two."
The players all breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Ye lowered his eyes slightly, his face a little cold, and no one knew what he was thinking.
When everyone exchanged glances and no one dared to step forward to verify their luck, Lu Ye was the first to walk out.
Without any hesitation, he walked up to the maid and pressed the button on the small box, then tore the note off after it came out.
Seeing the draw results displayed above, he suddenly sneered.
No matter how you look at it, his reaction is not satisfactory. Others glanced at his hands obscurely, and couldn't help but guess in their hearts -
Did Lu Ye win the lottery? Otherwise, how could it be so unhappy?
Yu Ke also felt that Lu Ye seemed to have won the lottery. She thought about it and realized that she could accept the result no matter whether she won the lottery or not.
If I win the lottery, I will be with Lu Ye. If I don’t win the lottery, we can continue to stay together.
Thinking of this, she no longer had any scruples and walked up to the maid to draw the lot.
She tore off the note and saw a simple and clear word "中" written on it. The result was obvious.
The remaining players could not see through Lu Ye's expression, but they could understand Yu Ke's thoughts without any obstacles.
They confirmed with Yu Ke: "Did you win?"
Yu Ke nodded and showed them her note.
Luo Chunxiao looked at the maid tentatively: "Then should we continue smoking?"
Lu Ye should have won, right? If he also wins, then the only two candidates will be chosen, and there will be no need to waste time on the remaining candidates.
In fact, if you just ask Lu Ye directly you will know the result, but at this moment he exudes a cold aura that keeps people away from him, making people afraid to approach him.
The players could only confirm the results with the maid in a roundabout way.
