Arknights, but all characters are NPCs?

"Me." Roy said as if it was a matter of course.

"..."

Monique almost looked at Roy as if he were an idiot.

Because in this case, even Monique would be unable to say anything.

You are a platinum lord, but you actually work as a maid for others? ! Shame on you!

But Bai Jin is really short of money. If she doesn't work for others to earn extra money, what's the matter? You give her money? You support her? What if she starves to death?

"What about Xuantie?" Monique asked again: "As for Platinum Master's... way of making extra money? Doesn't Xuantie Master have any opinion?"

"The Black Iron Throne? Well, you know that the Black Iron Throne is just a legend. No one knows whether there is such a person or not."

Roy looked innocent, and said as if it was true: "So, since Lord Xuantie hasn't spoken, I can't say anything either. In the end, I can only leave it to you to decide."

Monique: “…”

I decide? I don't know what I'm going to do.

Forget it, anyway, the platinum position is just used to take the blame and do the dirty work, as long as it doesn’t interfere with my work.

Monique waved her hand and didn't bother to care.

... ... ...

... ...

...

"I always feel like there's a subtle misunderstanding..."

Xinteleya was taken around the manor by the head maid, and then returned to the villa...another small villa next to it.

This is the maids' dormitory.

Xinteleya was also assigned a room.

The bed and decorations inside are naturally not as good as those in the boudoir of the hostess Sofia.

But it doesn't matter, since Xintelaiya is just here to build good relations.

The Linguang family is now dwindling, the Yao Knight has been expelled from the country, leaving behind a younger sister who is not yet an adult, and a... um? A social animal uncle?

Anyway, Xinteleya didn't see anything worth caring about about that office worker uncle.

So after all the calculations, isn't the only side branch left the Whip Knight Zofia?

Then just be a maid. Anyway, Xinteleya is pretty, and being a maid would be pleasing to the eye, right?

It's just...

During the interview, God knows how serious Xinteleya's expression was, which was why she didn't show that subtle look in front of Zofia.

Because when she saw Zofia, a living person, Xintelaiya's mind was filled with the dream world, where the Whip Blade Knight had his tongue pulled by Lu Shang, took a bath together, and had a bug after something stuck on his tail...

"never mind."

Cintrea reached out and picked up the maid outfit that had been assigned to her.

While trying on the clothes, she started to mutter, "There are so many maids anyway, and the Whip Knight probably won't notice if I do something stupid. So when do we eat? When do we get off work? When—"

Boom boom boom.

There was a knock on the door.

After putting on the maid uniform, Hintrea, who had not had time to take a look at her own beauty, could only open the door with a puzzled look on her face.

"Ms. Xinteleya, oh no, I should call you Maid Xinteleya now."

Standing outside the door was the head maid. She said in a businesslike manner: "The young lady, that is, the Whip Knight Miss Zofia, wants you to be her personal maid. Please leave now."

Xinteleya: “?”

No?

I'm here to build good relationships, not really to work, right?

Is it too late for me to ask for a change in the contract? You should at least pay me my salary.

098. Even Zofia began to feel that Sintela was a bit miserable

"My lady, please have your meal."

"Miss, please have some tea."

"Miss, please put on more clothes."

"Miss..."

Sofia: “…”

Sofia's original intention was that since she was certain that Xinteleya was here to cause trouble, it would be better to keep a close eye on her.

And since you have to keep an eye on her, you might as well just keep her by your side as a personal maid.

In this way, no matter what Xinteleya did outside, she had to say hello to Zofia.

No greeting? That's even better. As long as you disappear, Zofia will immediately be alert, which is much more effective than any security guard.

And Zofia is not weak. Although she is from a side branch, she is from the Linguang family after all.

If she was not left-handed and happened to injure her left hand, then if a fight really came to a head, someone like Sintelaiya, who had only just started, might not be able to beat her.

It's just...

"Miss, it's time for you to rest."

Moon stars are rare.

Zofia's boudoir.

Xinteleya was wearing a maid outfit, white silk stockings, and small round-toed leather shoes, with her hands folded lightly in front of her abdomen.

Looking at Zofia who was sitting on the bed in front of her with a subtle expression, Xinteleya asked without any emotion: "What's wrong? Miss, do you need me to help you change clothes and take a bath?"

Sofia: “…”

No... You, the Platinum Lord... aren't you being too diligent and conscientious as a maid?

Zofia kept an eye on Hintleya throughout the whole day, wanting to see when this platinum queen would reveal her true colors.

But the fact is that this platinum tycoon is really working.

"I'm talking to you..." Zofia was unsure at once, so she could only test, "Are you really just a maid?"

"Is there any problem? Didn't you sign the contract with me in black and white, Miss?"

Although Xinteleiya used a question, her expression did not change at all, as if she was reading from a script, or as if she was just perfunctorily doing it: "Or are you dissatisfied with my performance, Miss? Tsk... Rich people have so many rules..."

Sophia: “?”

No? Could you please stop complaining in front of me?

After all, I am your employer now, okay?

Besides, how can you be a maid like this? Forget about laughing, at least give me some respect.

"Smile?"

Xinteleya seemed to have noticed Zofia's gaze and said, "Is working for someone else something to be happy about? Why should I laugh? If the salary is high, then it doesn't matter if I laugh."

As she said that, Xinteleya looked at Zofia with a gloomy look: "But I don't even have a salary this month, so I can't laugh."

Sofia: “…”

You make it seem like... I'm some black-hearted capitalist.

Besides, you were the one who agreed to this contract.

"Forget it." Zofia waved her hand and said, "The contract has been signed and it's hard to change it. Starting from next month, I'll double your salary."

Of course, the prerequisite is that this Platinum Lady can still bear to be her maid for the next month.

According to Zofia, even if your No-Hero Alliance has any mission, it should be completed in a month. You can't keep relying on me, right?

So as she spoke, Zofia narrowed her eyes and looked at Xinteleya, wanting to see the reaction of this platinum king.

"Double your salary? Really? Thank you very much, Miss."

Xinteleya was so grateful, but after she finished speaking, she turned her head and muttered, "Here we go again, empty promises, huh? It's a familiar routine. Do you rich people like to play like this? I'm going to double my salary next month, but you might fire me next month. I won't get a penny and have to work for you for nothing for a month."

Sofia: “…”

Can I hear you, okay?

What's wrong with you, maid?

Forget it.

Sofia pinched her brows.

Zofia actually doesn't care about Xinteleya's personality.

After all, rich people have a variety of XP, and there are many people who like this kind of maid who has no face, cold style, occasional sharp words, and likes to overthrow the powerful, and there are many who like this.

Ah, of course, this doesn't include Zofia.

But Xinteleya actually knew in her heart that if she wanted to have a good relationship with Zofia, she should act good now instead of just being a bad person.

But she did work a real day today.

And——

Buzzing.

Xinteleya reached out and pulled out the vibrating cell phone from the maid's skirt.

Answer, put to your ear:

"Are you having fun being a maid, Pegasus?"

The voice that came out of the phone was from the Great Lord Qing Jin: "But don't forget your job, little Pegasus. If you work as a maid for too long, your skills will become rusty. I have a commission for you to practice with, little Pegasus. I've sent you the target and the mission location. Remember to read it."

"... ..., um, okay."

Xinteleya hung up the phone, took a deep breath, looked up at Zofia, and said, "I'm sorry, Miss, I need to go out and take out the trash."

Sofia: “…”

No? Can you at least avoid me when you answer the phone?!

Even if you don't avoid it, at least turn on the mute mode. Are you afraid that I can't hear you by turning on the speaker?

Sofia put her hand on her forehead, and after being silent for a long time, she waved her hand: "I know, you go ahead and do your work."

"Okay, Miss, I'll take my leave for now."

Only after Xinteleya left did Zofia stand up, walk to the window and look down.

Her eyes twitched as she watched Cintrea return to the dormitory in a maid outfit, then change into the Helmetless Alliance uniform, pick up her bow, and go out.

So what's going on with this platinum position? You're too lazy to even give me a perfunctory response?

Sighing, Zofia closed the curtains.

That night, not only Xinteleya did not sleep, but even Zofia did not sleep.

Because Xinteleya went out more than once.

I come back almost every few hours and then go out again.

Through the spies she sent out, Zofia knew clearly what Xinteleya was doing.

The first time Xinteleya went out, she went to scout the place.

The second time she went out, Xinteleya was going to draw a route map.

The third time she went out, Xinteleya was hungry, but she found that she had no money, so she had to go back.
