Su Bai devoured ten raw oyster sashimi and another ten garlic-grilled oysters before finally getting an idea about butler training.
Well, "idea" might be an overstatement.
It was more like opening WeChat and privately messaging Xia for advice.
Given Xia’s background, she’d probably know.
Sure enough, the reply came quickly.
[Xia Lin: There are short-term training courses. Honestly, there’s not much to learn—most of it is about experience and connections. You’d need someone to vouch for you.]
[Xia Lin: What’s this? Little brother’s interests are so broad now? Wanting to experience life as a butler in some rich household?]
[Xia Lin: Be careful, though. A handsome butler like you might catch the young mistress’s eye… and end up in all sorts of indescribable situations.]
[Su Bai: Sis, where’s your mind at? It’s just a friend of mine who’s curious about it.]
[Xia Lin: Oh.]
[Xia Lin: Just a friend?]
[Su Bai: [Goose_ScratchingHead]]
[Su Bai: I owe you one.]
[Xia Lin: No need to be so formal. Just watch another movie with me next time.]
[Su Bai: If it’s one of your movies, I’ll probably fall asleep again.]
[Xia Lin: You sleep, I’ll watch. Deal?~]
[Su Bai: [Goose_Confused]]
When you’re naturally exceptional, asking for favors never feels like begging.
In fact, in high-society circles, "troubling someone" is often a deliberate gesture—a way to build long-term social bonds.
Getting help from Xia went smoothly. The only thing that puzzled Su Bai was… why did she want to watch another movie with him?
Last time, at the private cinema in Yashige Plaza, he’d slept through the entire film, his head resting on her lap.
How was that something Xia Lin would look forward to?
Logically, if a guy dozed off during a movie she loved, shouldn’t she—a self-proclaimed artsy woman—be furious?
Su Bai found it illogical.
Wait…
"What’s on your mind, junior?" Zhou Jialu suddenly leaned in, smirking. "Talking business with someone else, but still thinking about me?"
"...Haha, can’t help it. Senior, you’re just too irresistible."
"Teehee!"
Zhou Jialu looked delighted.
Here he was, physically with his senior, yet mentally preoccupied with another woman.
Tsk. Even in matters of the heart, he was getting reckless lately.
[Ding! Wow, Host, you’re shameless. Reward: +10,000 yuan.]
Oh-ho-ho, even this earned him a reward?
Su Bai didn’t care much about the money, but the implication was significant.
So… indulging in romantic entanglements could trigger system rewards too?
Did that mean the more outrageous he acted, the better the rewards?
Lottery draws, limited-edition items, stat boosts…
Su Bai wanted it all!
[Ding! Detected Host’s special indulgence tactics. Truly commendable! Reward: +3 free attribute points.]
Yes! Free attribute points—just what they needed!
At the same time, the system unlocked the character stats panel, finally letting Su Bai check his own numbers.
[Host Attributes]
[Physique: 82]
[Intellect: 75]
[Appearance: 78]
[Special: 90]
[Skills: Swimming (Master), Finance & Business Management Basics (Master), Hand Techniques Emperor (Proficient)]
Su Bai studied the attribute system briefly.
The categories were broad—points could be directly allocated to the first four stats for immediate effects.
There was no cap, meaning he could potentially surpass human limits.
(Author’s Note: This story stays grounded in urban wish-fulfillment—no cultivation, no fantasy, no ancient martial arts. The system helps the protagonist level up for flexing purposes, but everything stays within realistic bounds. Only the MC has slightly OP abilities; no one else breaks the rules.)
As for the fifth row, "Skills," those were abilities Su Bai had acquired through rewards like lottery draws.
Spending attribute points could upgrade skill tiers, with higher tiers requiring more points.
For now, boosting raw stats was the most efficient. Once diminishing returns kicked in, he’d focus on skills.
After all, Su Bai was just a freshman—still in the phase of eating, drinking, and having fun. Why bother with skills when stats were so much more satisfying?
After some thought, Su Bai allocated his 3 new points to [Physique], raising it from 82 to 85.
Instantly, his already-enhanced body (courtesy of the system’s earlier modifications) grew even stronger.
"Huh? Junior, did your muscle just… twitch?" Zhou Jialu, who’d been idly squeezing his arm, blinked in surprise.
"Dunno. Maybe dinner’s digesting and turning into muscle," Su Bai said offhandedly.
"Haha, you're so funny—muscles don't grow that fast!" Zhou Jialu laughed, her shoulders shaking with mirth.
Spending time with her junior was such a delight. He was witty, charming, and knew exactly how to make her smile. To have snagged such a top-tier heartthrob—she was beyond lucky.
Su Bai had already sent Zhou Jialu the details about the butler training program—a link and the contact info for the person in charge.
Without wasting a second, Zhou Jialu got to work, adding the coordinator and setting her sights on her future career as a butler.
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races! [You attacked Liu Xuan] [You gained the debuffs: 'Poison', 'Fear', 'Burning', 'Bleeding', 'Freeze', 'Silence', etc.] [Your attack speed has been reduced by 99%] [Your armor and magic resistance have been reduced by 99%] Warriors of the Ten Thousand Races: How the hell am I supposed to fight this?!
world slacker. But a genius female disciple just had to get clingy, insisting that he take her as a disciple. Not only that, she was always making advances on him, thoroughly disrupting his peaceful slacker life...
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
