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.
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
Explosive Plot Song Gua crossed over into another world, bringing along a whole crew of his doppelgangers—all of them mischief-makers. This was a world where everyone could choose a class. Song Gua became a "Bondweaver," capable of borrowing power, while his doppelgangers took on a wide variety of classes, covering just about everything. The number of doppelgangers grew day by day, each one a talented individual with a charming way of speaking. Under Song Gua's brilliant leadership, they would "greet" each other daily and engage in friendly "sparring," pulling off one major scheme after another on Earth. Sometimes they were bandits—stealing bosses, plundering mines, snatching resources. Sometimes they were saviors—descending like divine warriors to face world bosses threatening to massacre cities. Sometimes they even went undercover, infiltrating various major factions to stir up trouble from within, keeping their enemies constantly on edge. To prevent their doppelganger abilities from being exposed, Song Gua made them wear masks with mahjong tile patterns and don Taoist robes in various colors. "Remember, in front of outsiders, call me 'The Dice.'" "Got it! Boss!" "Not 'Boss'—it's 'The Dice.' Think about the vibe, pay attention to the vibe." "Yes! Boss!" "For crying out loud..." From then on, whenever they appeared, they would have their own theme song playing: ~Hey~ paying respects at the mountain stronghold at night~ whose arm is draped over whose shoulder~ gather your courage and follow along...
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
