Anyway, being able to make her change the original office plan is quite an unexpected progress for me. Giving a Magic Crystal Screen right off the bat, the level is just like Aziza!

Chun was just about to check when there was another knock on the door: "Mr. Chun, I'm the baron's clerk, here to visit you specially!"

Uh... Seems like I'm pretty busy, so is this why Fafnir left in a hurry?

"Come in!"

The old official entered and bowed: "Mr. Chun, are you alright?"

Chun really didn't know his own condition and realized he was extremely weak, unable to move!

Holy shit, this is worse than the plague!

This is the game's precious realistic illness mode, also the difference between Paladins and Physicians. Both Paladins and Physicians have Healing Magic to restore health in battle, but once effects like crippling, bleeding, or weakness occur, it's not something magic can fix, even death revival won't work, it must be with medication or surgery by a Physician. Without money, you can loan and owe, which is why encountering stray dogs at the start is troublesome.

Chun laughed helplessly: "I can't move. Thank you, Baron, for sparing me and teaching me the skill."

The old official whispered mysteriously: "The master's last hit was in a daze, didn't spare you, which caused you such harm, but a little more rest will make it all better."

Chun felt there was more to his words: "What's the baron's current situation then?"

The old official whispered: "Also asleep."

Chun was shocked: "My damage, he's immune to, right? Shouldn't be able to hurt him?"

The old official said: "He's worn out, master has gluttony since childhood, can't be tired. Anyway, I'm just here on behalf of the master to visit you."

Having said that, he stood up to leave.

Gluttony? Suddenly, Chun recalled that endlessly unsatisfying mushroom eaten on the first floor of Hell, and simultaneously remembered that mountain-like Mammon family young master encountered at Dream Eden hotel. Mammon's demon power is gluttony! So what is the old official hinting at here?

Chun quickly called out: "Still haven't learned the master's name or his relation to the Baron?"

The old official sighed: "Barbatos, master's butler, I watched master grow up from childhood..."

Chun exclaimed: "Isn't the master too busy being both a butler and a clerk?"

The old official smiled: "Butler by day, comes to work in the evening after busying, actually no big deal."

Holy shit! Without anything just ask whether there's an appointment or not?

Considering the skill teaching, Chun had to show some appreciation: "Doesn't the master want spices?"

The old official was excited: "Sir!"

Chun whispered: "Send a ship to Plague Island's outer sea, no need to land, there's a pick-up, this must be absolutely confidential, no Shangri-La Commerce Association man!"

The old official was baffled, then troubled: "Sir, with this master has no one to use!"

Chun was puzzled: "How could there be no one? Isn't the coachman loyal and brave?"

The old official sighed: "Hard to explain."

Holy shit, is the fatty family so hard? As they say, flies don't bite seamless eggs, so Vivian noticed? Well then—

Chun had to ask: "Vivian from Night Rose Bar?"

The old official was even more baffled: "Sir also has a close relationship with her?"

Chun wanted to hear others' evaluation of her besides Aileen: "What does the master think of her?"

The old official was silent for a while: "Maybe, us old folks should personally go out to the sea..."

Holy shit!

"—Pu!" Just then, Aileen's explosive laughter rang in Chun's ears: "Even if earlier I didn't know she's a pirate's informant, I'm sure she's a bitch!"

Holy shit, don't mess around!

Chun hurriedly asked: "Master, is this matter so urgent?"

The old official said sternly: "I'm afraid the master's obsession runs too deep! Anyway, once retrieved, how about splitting it with you fifty-fifty?"

What's the concept of splitting fifty-fifty? Never mind, just give a plump figure to explore fatty's richness, the harder the fatty, the more it's time to tame him.

Chun said: "Since it's urgent for the master, money is unnecessary, the goods aren't much anyway, just absolute secrecy makes the master happy."

The old official excitedly said: "The money still needs dividing. It's not dawn yet, I'll quietly rent a boat, head out before dawn, probably be back by tomorrow night..."

With that, the old figure suddenly seemed to be filled with strength, bidding farewell and leaving.

Chun suddenly worried: "Aileen, can the old man manage?"

Aileen replied angrily: "Why didn't you worry if I could manage during the Holy Light Baptism? I hid in a water ball feeling the whole world burning."

"Alright then, you suffered."

"Not suffering."

Wait for Nancy's contact then, or have Nancy send octopus to escort the old man back, or ask Nancy about Mammon's situation?

Not right either, to inquire about the Mammon family, directly find goblin city's Nan, she's the real thing, she knows more. Speaking of which, regarding Nancy's appearance, it should be Nan to inquire about.

Now it's settled, Chun reopened the Magic Crystal Screen, a title popped up "Black Iron City Honorary Social Directory"! What?

Then below's a long list of task directories, all about talking socializing and gifting with various level NPCs in the city, what to give, how much, when, where, all noted…

Holy shit! Given me a corrupt official manual! Like some history drama, a newly accredited official arrives in capital utterly confused, wanting to gift and flatter but doesn't know how much to give where, too little offend, too much waste, wrong place for nothing…

So, she wants to boost my reputation, groom me towards nobility! Yes! Experienced the taste of nobility on a small scale, no, just a noble retainer. With a large scale, must be officially titled to justify my island lord position!

Just then, the Magic Crystal Screen suddenly alerts—real-time social task notification: Count's daughter Miss Anna will hold fitness morning run activity at coastline avenue at 6 am, as a VIP2 honorary citizen you're eligible to join her jogging team, can increase Black Iron City reputation points by 100...

Holy shit! Real-time tasks too? High tech!

But mere 100 points reputation I don't care, besides unable to move!

Forget it, filter those related to Animal Protection Association NPCs. First blend in, inquire more about the Demonized Bat news. Even if the tasks are scrapped, at least association folks have more to speak for.

Aileen suddenly devised: "Don't find these people, waste of time. Find the church's old nun who buys vegetables, most greedy, easiest to talk to!"

Oh! Interesting...

Unnoticed, it dawned.

—System alert: Congrats! Your clone enjoyed sufficient sleep, you received an extra Physical Strength limit bonus of 300 points! Your physical state has recovered to some extent.

Oh!

Chun, though still unable to move his legs, felt some strength returning to his hands, couldn't wait, even with crutches needed to head to the vegetable market, old nun coming out to buy vegetables soon!
