Chapter 77: Capricious Host
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Take a look at this. You can ask if there is anything that is unclear.” Jiang Pengji handed Xu Ke a thin booklet about the training program for servants.
It was painstaking to make it as simple as possible, and it took her so days to have the arrangent settled.
In the other world, she had been receiving training ever since she was little. The equipnt was advanced, the plan readjusted regularly as her physical competence developed, and her als were prepared according to strict nutritious standards to maximize the effects of the training.
On the contrary, this ti period was too backwards. There were no dietary supplents, specialized apparatuses, or suitable fields. Even the participants themselves were as ager as kids in where she ca from.
The booklet was the final work of her various andnts to the originally demanding sche.
Still, the easy tasks for her were harder in Xu Ke’s eyes, and he stood there in shock.
What appalled him most was not her brilliant sche and skills, but his own misled mind the day before. He had thought that perhaps his Langjun might have had a tender heart.
“Langjun, please discard the plan. There is no way the servants can withstand such tornt...” The mont the words ca out from his mouth, Xu Ke stopped, knowing that would be no good.
His comnt froze Jiang Pengji’s movent for a second. Tornt?
The livestream audience thus watched the two stare blankly at each other.
Toudu Feiqiu: “(side-eye) What is the host’s plan? She scares the boy.”
Hongyan Yijiu: “Hahaha! Host, should not he be stunned by your sche, and beco your super fan?”
Bufu Nilaidawoa: “That is right! I was ready for that mont, but saw an embarrassing picture instead. Sigh.”
While Jiang Pengji was looking at Xu Ke, she was also looking at the mockery on the interface without much expression.
As the viewers said, things beca weird when Xu Ke did not react as expected.
“It is not so demanding, is it?” She picked up the booklet that he dropped when he was startled. “How will that be torture?”
Her complaint hinted to Xu Ke that he might have misunderstood his young master, so he tried to clarify, “Langjun, the plan is perfectly fine for a gifted person like you, who is born with extraordinary strength. The new servants are all common people with diocre capabilities, however, so it is better not to compare them with yourself.”
His complint and explanation comforted Jiang Pengji a little.
“What do you think, then, will be suitable for them?” she asked, wishing to improve.
Her sincerity eased Xu Ke, and he inquired after a mont of hesitation, “Langjun, why would you like to train them?”
“You may have heard about the kidnapping that happened recently. I need guards to save from similar situations in the future. While Dongqing appears to be peaceful, areas like Hejian are plagued with bandits. I must take action before others severe my head from my body.”
As soon as she finished, Xu Ke shook his head and pointed out, “That is an excuse. You need not so many servants to protect the family. Around fifty n will do. Langjun, you have another secret goal, do you not?”
“Like you said, it is a secret. Do you think I will spell it out?” Her cunning reply was unexpected.
The audience began to show empathy for Xu Ke.
Bufu Nilaidawoa: “The longest ti Xu Ke has had in his life is the ti when he stayed with our capricious Host.”
Shitang Dafan Ayi: “It is okay, my boy. The host is an, but I am not. Co to , I will treat you well.”
Soon afterwards, Jiang Pengji heard notifications in the background. “Shitang Dafan Ayi rewarded you with 1,314 pairs of blue and white underpants.”
“...”
A pair of pants cost 0.1 Stream Coin, the sa as a lollipop and a heart.
Badao Zhongcai: “Do not trust that guy! Co to !”
Another notification ca in from Badao Zhongcai giving out rewards of 520 kidney apples.
A kidney apples equaled one Stream Coin, so the viewer had given out 520 Coins!
The two had triggered a wave of high-priced rewards, bombarding Jiang Pengji with ceaseless notifications, but her countenance was lacking expression, as usual.
While the audience was pitying Xu Ke, the boy’s features were brightened by the intelligence he had just received. His eyes flickered like the stars. “Langjun, I understand what you an. I will not disappoint you!”
“You will be in charge of the training, then.” Jiang Pengji suspected the teenager had imagined too much about her intentions, but said nothing about it. “We will set off at noon. I need a preliminary plan by that ti.”
She had thought her plan could be carried out right away, but it appeared that her standards were still too high for people in the current world. Xu Ke was more aware of the servants’ need, so she would like to listen to his thoughts.
“I have mapped out a scale, and I think we should start from the easiest and add challenges step-by-step...”
This caused Xu Ke to gasp. He could not picture how the suggestions in the booklet were “elentary...” How intense was her original sche? Was she trying to strain the n to death?
“That is a desirable strategy,” Xu Ke replied, adding, “A strong grown up can usually weigh one stone, but the new servants are either too young or too weak. We must alter the program for better outcos.”
