The dark blue tail swayed slowly.
Yaxiao sat cross-legged on the carpet, wondering where he had gone wrong.
The similarity between the virtual mentor and the villain is over 45%. To some extent, this is not a particularly serious mistake. It is impossible to judge the challenge as a failure as soon as the action appears.
So he shouldn't have taken the left foot first
Yaxiao was a little uncertain.
The marshal simulated by the virtual mentor was extracted from the information known to him and his fourth uncle. Logically, he should be able to pass the level perfectly.
If that's the case, what criteria did the virtual mentor use to judge that he failed the challenge? Was it the taboos of the villain? Did he miss something
[Host, do you want to try again? ]
The system asked tentatively that each special training in the practical module can be attempted repeatedly, but except for the first free time, it will cost two points to challenge it again.
Yaxiao glanced at the points on the panel, only 24 were left. Currently, there were too few known things, and only by trying again would he be able to know where he had gone wrong.
"Let's do it again, Fourth Uncle."
[Okay, entering virtual space.]
When he opened his eyes, Yaxiao appeared in the study again, this time with a cup of coffee in his hand.
The shadow not far away continued to review documents as before.
Yaxiao thought about it and chose to take the right foot first.
Clean leather shoes stepped on the wooden floor, making a barely audible clicking sound.
The next second, the familiar scene reappeared. The shadow glanced at him, and an indistinguishable male or female voice rang in his ears: [Challenge failed.]
very good.
Yaxiao knew that things would not be that simple. Although the villains in the plot seemed very sick to the protagonists, they were not so weird that they would hate a butler just because of whether he took the left foot or the right foot first.
So why did the challenge fail
Yaxiao was a devil who never gave up. He went through it all over again, and finally his eyes fell on his clothes.
After his only tuxedo got dirty, Yaxiao changed into a set of black and white overalls. For a butler, a white shirt and overalls was considered a decent outfit.
However, the scoring criteria are currently unknown.
Perhaps it was because the virtual instructor synthesized from the villain’s data thought that he was not wearing a tuxedo, so he was not even qualified to be graded and was directly failed
That's possible.
Yaxiao thought about it, stood up, picked up the tuxedo on the carpet, and handed it to the nanny robot.
Washing, drying, ironing...
After a series of steps, the originally dirty tuxedo became clean.
Yaxiao put on his tuxedo again. He lowered his head and carefully adjusted his cuffs. He said to the system seriously, "Try again, Fourth Uncle."
[Okay.] The system watched from beginning to end, and when it heard the host challenge again, it couldn't help but feel a little nervous, [Come on, host.]
Even the system does not understand the specific criteria for practical scoring. Perhaps only the villain himself can understand why the virtual instructor directly judged Yaxiao as a failure.
I will.
Yaxiao replied in his heart.
When he looked up, he appeared in the study again.
Yaxiao's eyelashes trembled slightly. He looked at the shadow only a few steps away and walked over.
[Challenge failed.]
system:…
Yaxiao: …
[It’s not too surprising. ]
The system tactfully comforted Yaxiao: [After all, the previous stewards didn't understand what the villain was thinking. This doesn't prevent you from becoming the villain's steward, right? ]
Having said that...
The tip of Yaxiao's tail stood up. He squatted on the ground, biting his fingernails, his back slightly arched. His tight-fitting tuxedo outlined the smooth lines of his body. He looked like a bow and arrow ready to be shot, and his eyes were much brighter than before.
This is the attacking posture the devil will display when encountering an enemy. Frequent failures have completely aroused Yaxiao's competitive spirit.
“This is different.”
Since the virtual mentor could judge his mistake, it means that this matter was included in the plot or was noticed by the previous butlers.
"Not being fired is only the first step. If I want to gain the villain's trust, I must do better than the other housekeepers."
Only in this way can you stay by the villain's side for a long time, absorb demonic value, and grow demonic bat wings!
Yaxiao knows what his goal is better than anyone else.
The system was touched.
It is indeed a good kid that it has watched grow up! He is indomitable and has the courage to climb!
"Fourth Uncle, can you help me read the plot again?" Yaxiao didn't believe that he couldn't find the reason for the failure just by reading it word by word.
The tip of the tail, glowing with a faint blue light, hung tacitly in the air, revealing a sense of solemnity.
As the system responded, a plot panel appeared in mid-air. Yaxiao slid his finger down and glanced at it, but found nothing.
"No useful information."
In the known plot, the villain can be said to be shrouded in mystery, and even his brother doesn't know much about him.
Yaxiao was not discouraged. He turned around and picked up the housekeeper's diary that he had found in the utility room before. He flipped through it page by page. He seemed to see something, and the tip of the inverted triangle tail instantly stood up.
The system had been watching nearby, and when it saw this scene, it squinted its eyes and looked over curiously.
[May 13th, how long will I have to endure this torment? I've really had enough of this gloomy villa, the twisted atmosphere, the forbidden person who could get out of control at any time, I'm suffocating! When can I escape from here! ]
[May 15th, my thoughts may have been revealed on my face. Today, when I poured coffee for the marshal who was processing documents in the study, the cup fell to the ground. He looked at me coldly. Fortunately, he did not lose control. I have to be more careful.]
[May 19th, I really need to hurry up.]
Is there anything wrong with this sentence
In the system's view, this only shows that the first butler could no longer tolerate the villain, and began planning his escape in May, and finally died miserably at the hands of the demon worm.
Yaxiao pointed to No. 18's diary, "The coffee cup fell to the ground. The villain looked at the other person coldly, and when I walked towards the virtual figure, he also looked at me."
This is the only sentence in the plot information and the butler's diary about the villain drinking coffee while processing documents.
"If the virtual butler is based on this sentence, then the only similarity between me and this coffee cup that fell to the ground is that I disturbed the villain who was concentrating on processing documents."
The system was silent for a moment.
It felt that the host's idea was a bit far-fetched. After all, the host's footsteps were much lighter than those of normal humans. If such light footsteps could be detected, how sensitive would the villain be
Before the system could organize its words to persuade him tactfully, Yaxiao was already rubbing his hands together, and enthusiastically launched another challenge.
All right.
401 knew Yaxiao's character well, and planned to comfort him after the host failed.
Under the gaze of the system, the black-haired devil appeared again in the virtual space. This time, Yaxiao held the coffee cup without any movement.
Time passes by every second.
The phantom that was reviewing the document finally made a move. Was it going to fail again? The system was shocked, but found that the phantom just closed the document and then replaced it with a new one.
It was at this time that the phantom raised its head and looked towards Yaxiao.
It’s over. Is it over
The system adjusted his reading glasses tremblingly, his nervous heart almost jumping out of his throat, one second, two seconds... Eh
No hints
Yaxiao knew that he had guessed correctly. He walked over briskly but gracefully and placed the coffee next to the marshal's hand.
System: ??? It’s actually true
"Sure enough, the villain just doesn't like other noises disturbing him when he's working." Yaxiao had an expression I knew, "Even if I want to pour coffee, I have to wait until he finishes work and can't disturb him."
From the diary of the previous housekeeper, it can be seen that if you disturb the villain when he is working, it will not make the villain lose control, but it will only make him in a bad mood.
"I think this is not a taboo for the villain, but rather his unknown habits and rules."
Even the previous stewards didn't notice the Marshal's little habit.
"What a troublesome man."
Yaxiao sighed heavily and made the final summary seriously, "As expected of a villain."
The system thought about what the host said and couldn't help but shiver. The host's footsteps were so light that they could be detected by the villain, and pouring a cup of coffee couldn't affect his work. A man with many rules and sensitive [gǎn] was indeed troublesome.
[Host, thank you for your hard work.]
The system said distressedly, it had no suspicion that the villain might not behave like the virtual mentor.
It’s impossible to go wrong with a virtual tutor.
The known information has only a 45% similarity with the villain himself, which seems low, but human nature is complex, and even the most omniscient being cannot grasp a person's thoughts.
The 45% similarity was enough for Yaxiao to see some of the villain's attitude from the virtual mentor's demonstration.
[Host, do you want to continue? ] The system asked.
Ya Xiao was actually quite interested in the villain, especially since his competitive spirit had just been aroused. "Of course we have to continue. The special training has just begun."
Having said that, Yaxiao did not start immediately, but opened the system panel.
From the beginning to the end he remembered that one of his goals was to buy a tuxedo that would not get dirty.
The Tuxedo requires 1000 points.
This price is not cheap in the mall, but you can get a lot of points every time you pass the practical module, which is just enough to buy another one.
Yaxiao pressed the purchase button, but did not exit immediately. Instead, he stared at the latest horror toys on the panel.
The mall will randomly generate things that the current host needs to stimulate the host's desire to buy.
At a glance on Yaxiao's shopping mall panel, apart from a few regular products, the rest are all horror toys with strange appearances and not much use.
Yaxiao's fingers trembled.
It seems like facing the biggest challenge and temptation in life.
[Host, hold on!]
The system started to alert immediately.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yaxiao came back to his senses instantly, quickly raised his hand to collect, add to cart, and pay for the series of operations, all in a smooth process, so fast that only the afterimage could be seen.
After finishing all this, Yaxiao wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, and said with a look of fear: "It was a close call. I almost fell into the trap of the mall again."
The system was silent for a moment.
It looked at the sudden increase in useless toys in the warehouse and the 20 points written on the panel, and couldn't help but cry for joy.
The host actually knew to leave 20 points!
Isn’t it amazing!
Yaxiao also felt that he was great.
The tail behind it wags back and forth.
"I also bought some maintenance oil for my tail and horns," Yaxiao boasted, "I didn't waste my points."
The beautiful tail and horns require careful maintenance by the devil.
The system looked pleased and praised: "The host is awesome."
Yaxiao accepted all the compliments.
His eyes curved, and he tapped the ground lightly with the tip of his inverted triangle tail, expressing his great happiness.
The communication between the demon and the system ended quickly.
Yaxiao carefully adjusted his cuffs, and after making sure there was no problem, he stepped back into special training.
This special training is quite useful.
At least it can help him further understand the villain information hidden in the plot.
Yaxiao hoped that he could further deepen his understanding of the villain before meeting him. He thought that it would be best if he could quickly gain the villain's favor and trust.
On the other side, Mist, who was handling the banquet matters, was negotiating with the representative of the Fourth Base when the light brain on his wrist suddenly rang.
Mist took a quick look and called out to Soran who had just returned, "Take the out-of-control person back first."
Soren hummed.
"What are you going to do?"
"Weicheng sent a video."
Mist pointed to the light computer on his wrist, and after Soran nodded, he walked to the second floor of the venue.
The second floor is much quieter.
A bright green light curtain popped up in the air.
The burly man wiped the green blood off his face and gave Mist a very honest smile.
"Long time no see, Weicheng."
Mister didn't show any strange expression. He smiled and said, "Is everything going well between you and the marshal?"
“It’s going well.”
Wei Cheng, who was projected in the air, rubbed his nose with his index finger, smiled innocently, and then said: "The marshal will be back in two days."
"In two days?"
Mist was not surprised. "It's time to come back. The spring meeting is coming soon. It's a good opportunity to get to know Yaxiao."
Talking about the new butler, the smile in Mist's eyes became more genuine: "Ya Xiao is much more likable than the previous butlers."
Weicheng did not comment on this.
The brief silence made Mist realize something, and the smile on his face faded a lot. "What happened?"
"The Marshal's TH value has soared again."
The ominous premonition came true, and the smile on Mist's face completely disappeared.
"If the new butler is trustworthy, arrange for him to meet with the marshal as soon as possible." Wei Cheng lowered his voice, revealing a heavy hoarseness.
"I see."
Mist let out a breath and nodded slowly.
He knew the seriousness of the matter.
Originally, Mist wanted Yashao to know more about the Marshal so that he could relax and not regard the Marshal as a scourge because of some rumors.
Now it seems that Yaxiao might even face the out-of-control Marshal.
I just hope that by then, Yaxiao won't end up like the previous housekeepers...
