The Last Gentleman

  Chapter 510 Special preparation

  After Catherine’s “entry point” with information about the audience was settled, William went straight back to the magic area, just in time to collide with Jain in the aisle.

   "William, why did you come back from outside? It seems that you have other ideas about the temporarily arranged formal performance?"

  “One day is too short for regular preparations.

  Even if I have already thought about the scene design that can be used for the official performance, the temporary setup now will inevitably fail to achieve the expected effect, so I might as well think of another way.

  Senior Jain, can you arrange tomorrow's performance for me? "

   With a flick of his two fingers, Jain pulled out a blank piece of paper from between his cuffs.

   "Circus of Fear Official Performance Schedule"

   Based on the four chiefs, it is mainly divided into four large-scale programs,

   Between the four major programs are interspersed small programs such as Catherine the Clown, Mosander the Long Legs, etc., making the whole performance process ups and downs.

  William asked tentatively: "Should I be able to choose any intermission period for my performance?"

   "That's right, you should think about it carefully, and just tell me the result of your selection before tomorrow morning."

   "I've already chosen!"

  William didn't think much about it, or he had already made a decision, and quickly landed his finger on the gap between two programs, which made Jain frown.

   At least in Jain's view, such a choice is very unwise.

   "Are you sure? You want to put Ni's halftime performance behind the performance of the Acrobatic Troupe?

  Mr. Rabbit's level is higher than mine, and the acrobatic troupe under his command is not comparable to that rookie from Mosander.

  In previous performances, the average amount of fear collected by the Acrobatic Troupe is the highest.

   That is to say, after watching the performance of the Acrobatic Troupe, most of the audience are in a state of absolute immersion, collapse or even brain death.

  Your temporary performance will hardly work during this time period.

  My suggestion is to put it behind Catherine's nightmare performance. The impact of the dream will quickly decrease after waking up. It is easiest to perform at this time. "

   "My performance must be placed here, otherwise the success rate will be greatly reduced."

  Looking at the firm gaze in William's eyes, Jain nodded, "Then report it like this, do you need to borrow some people from me?"

   "No, I can do it alone. The time is too short to train. And even if other assistants are forced to follow me, a newcomer, they should be very resistant in their hearts, and it is difficult to achieve the effect I want.

  Mr. Jain, I'm off to attend to other things first. "

  William hurriedly waved goodbye. Instead of returning to his magic house, he planned to go to another area.

   Such abnormal behavior naturally aroused Jain's curiosity. The magic show had already been rehearsed, so he quietly followed behind William.

  Bypassing the underground crossroads of the circus, William actually walked towards the banquet hall again, touched the secret door switch between the passages and opened the secret passage leading to the back kitchen.

"Um? The kitchen... What exactly does William want to do? 』

  Jain restrained his curiosity and did not continue to follow up. After all, the answer will be revealed in two days.

  【Back kitchen】

  Because the Sabbat has just ended, the entire back kitchen is undergoing general cleaning.

  For William, a rookie who won second place at the Sabbat and was favored by the boss, the poker faces who were doing hygiene were also quite polite and didn't ask much.

  William who came here did nothing, just sat on the vegetable cutting table, thinking and waiting quietly,

   About half an hour passed,

  When he was trying to figure out the type, quantity and raw materials of the dishes that needed to be made in his head, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the incinerator.

  Chef Timmy, who was wrapped around his tongue all over, came back. He had just finished the boss's medicine injection below, and he was very surprised to see William sitting in the back kitchen.

   "William, what are you doing here? Hurry up and prepare for the performance the day after tomorrow."

   "I came here just for the show, can Chef Timmy give me these ingredients now?"

  William wrote while talking, and handed over a detailed list.

Looking at the large amount of raw materials on the list, Timmy also frowned, "What do you need so many things for? I'm not a free warehouse here, I can take whatever I want... The raw materials cultivated in the back kitchen are all high-quality goods. "

   "Of course it will be used for tomorrow's performance. Can the expense be recorded in the account first, and I can pay it off after I recover enough fear liquid from the performance. I can accept it even with interest."

  If it were someone else, the head chef would refuse without hesitation, and the back chef didn't even mention credit.

  But considering William’s stunning performance at the Sabbat, and considering the rare smiles of the bosses during the banquet, Timmy also made a rare compromise.

   "For the sake of you planning to use the back kitchen dishes in performances, I will reluctantly lend you~ There is no need for interest, as long as you can fully repay it within one year.

   However, the use of "boss meat" is prohibited. "

  Seeing that Chef Timmy nodded in agreement, William followed up with another request:

   "Chef, can you lend me some more people to help with the handling of raw materials and assist in cooking, I may not be able to make it by myself. The personnel expenses are also recorded in the account and will be paid off later."

   "You... okay, how many people do you want?"

   "Currently cleaning poker faces all need,

  In addition, I may also modify some equipment in the back kitchen, such as splicing some meat frying pans to form larger-caliber pots to improve the efficiency of cooking. "

   "What else do you want?"

  Chef Timmy is already a little impatient. If William dares to ask again, he will stop providing help directly.

"that is all."

   "That's all! No one has ever dared to make so many demands in the back kitchen... It really **** me off! All right, I can promise you, but you need to do one more thing besides repaying the loan."

"What's up?"

   "Ahem~ As long as you are in the circus, make red oil dumplings at least once a week."

   "This is no problem, as long as you provide me with a good "scalp meat". "

  Seeing that William agreed, Chef Timmy stopped making things difficult.

"Remind you! Before the official performance begins, the back kitchen needs to be absolutely stable. You must keep in mind the [rules] during cooking. If the combination of black hair and meat quality affects the official performance, this responsibility is not something you can bear. I They could all be tried for it.”

   "I will ensure the stability and safety of the back kitchen."

   "That's it, the Sabbat has made me exhausted, so I can take a rest."

  With the nod of the head chef, the next two days are equivalent to handing over all the authority of the back chef to William, a young man,

  Timmy seemed to leave leisurely, but actually turned on the biological monitoring device as soon as he returned to his lounge, and watched everything in the back kitchen intently.

  He was very curious about what William was going to do and how to connect the back kitchen with the performance.

  In the monitoring screen,

  Borrowing the identity of the interim supervisor, William summoned all the poker faces to his side,

   Without any verbal communication,

  Instead of uncovering the skull in public, showing the dark brain, through the transmission of brainwave information, assigning responsibilities to each person and listing the time schedule to ensure that no time will be wasted.

   end of presentation,

  The poker faces put on chef aprons one after another, and went to work in different areas, and the back kitchen became lively again.

   However, as everyone got busy, William didn't get involved.

  He climbed onto the kitchen counter, using the cutting board as a pillow, and fell asleep directly in the noisy kitchen environment.

  Seeing this scene, Chef Timmy got up excitedly, pointed at the monitor and yelled, "How can you sleep! Can you sleep at this time?"

  But Timmy finally stabilized his emotions and did not go to the back kitchen to intervene.

  Unbeknownst to him, William's sleep is actually a projection of consciousness into the memory palace, where he communicates with another self in the aquarium.

   "Yi Chen, I need your help for the next performance."
