Chapter 2293 - 868: The Best Gift Is Feed

Although the ’Young Master’ quickly understood why he was acting crazy, the secretary still dutifully advised: "It’s a nice compliment, but it’s better to just say it here."

Hard Wind’s strength isn’t necessarily weaker than the Old Age Striking King."

"This is heartfelt praise!" The ’Young Master’ rolled his eyes, "Not everyone is as petty as Elder."

Cunlü loves being praised!"

"Hmm, Hard Wind likes it too." The secretary sighed, "But that doesn’t mean if you overdo it, he won’t give you a smack."

Why must you compare arm strength with power players?"

’Young Master’ finally settled down: "Don’t worry! Hmm~ Sending flowers won’t work; gear... oh, gear won’t work either."

What do you think..."

He looked seriously at the secretary: "How about I give her some pig food?

It’s that all-purpose animal nutritional meal developed by people from Chef Academy."

This problem seemed interesting, and the secretary couldn’t help but think seriously about it.

Although those culinary folks love to explore, searching everywhere for unique food... even the infamous terrifying foods of Toril, they’ll go and try them.

Of course, the results are delightful.

Though they won’t get diarrhea, poisoning and Disease buffs do occur.

They won’t die, but they’ll be weak for a long time.

However, because of these people’s research spirit, and their love for their Animal Companions, they genuinely developed quite tasty and energy-rich animal food.

But, the top-quality feed, fine for small omnivorous animals, to feed wild boars?

Even though ’Cunlü’ and ’Hard Wind’ are always very fond of their piggies, they can’t afford those prices.

Especially with the Duchess’s renowned appetite... feeding her that stuff would likely burn through a set of Hill’s top-grade jewelry in a month.

Technically, this is happening in reality, and those two are the ones shielding ’Young Master’ from disaster... They even gritted their teeth under pressure and temptation and weren’t planning to get any compensation from ’Young Master’.

The secretary could see this... The ’Young Master’s happiness was too apparent, just about to lose control of his emotions, which only showed he got the best answer.

Thus, being protected by others, giving suitable compensation and rewarding them accordingly was natural for someone like ’Young Master’.

But the other party... obviously doesn’t want to extend their relationship offline.

The secretary actually understands ’Cunlü’ and ’Hard Wind’.

These two rightly value their dignity highly.

Hence, they can stick to their principles.

And people like that, how could they fish for compliments and flaunt their merits?

’Young Master’ realized this, which is why he’s planning to offer some valuable, yet not overly conspicuous gifts in-game.

Hill’s jewelry is certainly lovely, and buying it is easy for ’Young Master’... But if he gifts those, how is that different from offering benefits offline?

So, giving them high-quality pig food is indeed a good solution.

The secretary also heard that ’Cunlü’ once cried while hugging the Duchess, admitting she couldn’t afford the Duchess’s favorite food... Even calling it a snack for the Duchess to taste.

The Duchess herself didn’t mind, given she knows fulfilling her appetite is a troublesome affair.

But ’Cunlü’ always brooded over it.

That girl showers near-mad devotion on those she likes and things she adores.

Moreover, if this spreads, no one would think it’s ’Young Master’s recompense to ’Cunlü’ and ’Hard Wind’.

What big boss would honestly pay someone in pig feed!

No one would believe it if you said it.

But this stuff, is indeed pricey... The secretary suddenly realized something, and it’s rather hard to obtain.

After all, chefs usually target small animals like cats, dogs, and rabbits... The materials aren’t cheap; who’d make so much for no reason!

The secretary’s hand paused slightly, and he asked softly: "Excuse me, when will the assistant you mentioned be ready?"

Already overwhelmed in reality, plus the game tasks; he’s truly about to break.

"Oh~" ’Young Master’ thought before pointing outside, "Anyone in the Academy’s artistic management program you find suitable?"

The secretary shook his head slightly: "Wait a couple of years! The current batch is a bit restless."

Not quite ready yet.

You know, in recent years, due to Planet Academy’s policies, the competition between universities has become a bit too blatant."

Rendering current student councils unwilling to take on trouble."

Back in our day, for victory in the competition, we’d do anything!"

The first thing student council members did when they woke up was pray they wouldn’t get blamed for anything."

"But if they really do it, the student council will naturally cover it up... Though the method is a bit shady, it doesn’t break any laws or rules, just lacks some integrity. For the sake of winning, what’s not allowed?"

He then looked out the window and shook his head regretfully: "In this environment, we have cultivated sharp tongues and wits, learned to flexibly apply tactics, and gained a sense of responsibility.

This batch, clearly, is far behind.

Plus, with this incident, they obviously lack the confidence to stand up to the academy...

Boss, I’m really busy, I don’t have the time to start mentoring people from scratch.

I need an assistant who can be useful right from the start.

If you think it’s necessary, you can have them start as assistants to the supporters."

The ’Young Master’ pondered and nodded: his secretary is truly smart and rational, and knows exactly what to do at the right time.

The secretary surely understood the ’Young Master’s intention.

The provoked ’Young Master’ clearly doesn’t intend to let go of this little guy who dared to challenge him.

When he makes a move, it’s bound to be ruthless... it might even affect some unwritten rules at the Academy Star.

For instance, allowing certain actions concerning the students selected by Planet Academy.

And dealing with those he just expelled from Youth Journey of the Wenjian World.

Those who collaborate out of work-related obligations grudgingly don’t matter, but those who voluntarily participate and cooperatively might have a tougher fate.

Especially some people from their academy who conspire with the faction of art masters... understanding how to target ’Cunlü’ and ’Hard Wind’ is not something a member of a lower-tier family could have passed on.

People who know the deep connection between Black Rose and the ’Young Master’, affecting his ability to continue playing the game, are definitely not ’outsiders’.

Even the most annoying ’Ji Lanyuan’, full of absurd words, might not know these things.

After all, when the ’Young Master’ was playing with people from Black Rose, other family members weren’t absent.

Who he’s more inclined towards, it’s actually hard to discern from this young master’s behavior... ’Old Age Striking King’ is a different story.

It must be someone who observes the ’Young Master’ often.

That is, art academy student council members who graduated at the same time or shortly before the secretary.

Actually, it’s understandable, right?

They are art masters.

Moreover, he’s already graduated, not many people know which planet he’s on... Rather than wandering for decades not finding his path, the helping hand of the art master is his only remaining luxury.

The ’Young Master’ clearly intends to deal with these clueless people, or this person.

He might not do anything directly to them, but cutting off their path of advancement, that’s inevitable... since it is a choice made for climbing upwards, they must bear the consequences.

But, this situation is not good for the art academy... the recent graduate, still a student council member, making such a big mistake, will surely affect future student employment.

The secretary knows, some information for the ’Young Master’ doesn’t pass through him... perhaps, at this moment, the ’Young Master’ already knows who betrayed him and is ready for a counter-strike.

Thus, the ’Young Master’ very considerately plans to accommodate the recently affected two batches of graduates, considering placing them temporarily in his chain of music halls for further training.

For those studying music, it’s straightforward... whoever is capable, advances.

But their management specialty is tricky.

Teaching them how things should be done isn’t hard, but getting them to develop qualified work thinking and habits isn’t easy.

The ’Young Master’ nodded... he initially hoped the secretary would bring out two people from the game.

But the secretary’s point isn’t wrong, in this situation, what’s needed are immediate hands-on people... The ’Young Master’ slowly pulled out his own tablet.

"I’m giving you two people from the administrative management department, who entered Wenjian last year." The ’Young Master’ was more serious this time, "They have been trained in management since childhood, so... you have only three days to teach them.

Basic tasks in the game will be handled by them from now on, you just organize it, then inform me."

The secretary nodded immediately: "No problem."

He’s collaborated with these assistants trained from childhood with the ’Young Master’, knowing their abilities.

But... he really didn’t expect the ’Young Master’ still had subordinates who just recently enrolled!

-----------------

The ’Young Master’ set up his heavenly net with seriousness.

Meanwhile, ’Cunlü’ also began her actions.

When contacted, it was also in the game.

How to say... under interstellar communication outside, certain words will inevitably become court evidence.

But in the game, such calculations can be hidden under its vague language.

Although ’Cunlü’ is very smart, she hasn’t contacted some more secret information, so she didn’t realize that their target was time-space gaming.

Otherwise, she would definitely think that group of people is crazy.

Deities might not be omnipresent, but William, who could silence them anytime, surely can.
