Chapter 54 54. High-ranking boss
Do all you high-ranking men walk like this?

Lloyd cursed in his heart and secretly turned on [Exploration]

[Ding~ Exploration completed]

【■■■■■■■■】

Good guy, the whole code is garbled, is it okay?
Lloyd remembered that the presiding judge was still just '? ? ', not that exaggerated.

This shows that Butler Randolph has anti-reconnaissance and anti-snooping equipment. It may be some kind of extraordinary ability, or it may be a [holy object], or a small portable ritual.

Lloyd didn't have time to think too much, so he rushed over and said hello:

"Long time no see, Miss Desda, your arrival makes me feel even more..."

He wanted to say some decent polite words, but Miss Desita took action and gave him a polite hug, and then said somewhat funny:

"I didn't expect that after half a year of seeing you, you would treat me politely? Could it be that you have entered the trial court and want to keep distance from ordinary mortals like us?"

Lloyd was suddenly embarrassed by what he said, and quickly explained,

"Uh... no, no, that's not what I meant, it's just..."

Everol on the side also quickly helped:

"Xiao Yi, he just wants to act mature in front of Miss Desita."

"Pfft~ I'm teasing him, why don't you always protect him like this? You'll make me jealous..."

Miss Desda showed a naughty smile, pinched Everol's soft cheeks hard, and then turned back to Lloyd and said:
"Okay, no more joking, congratulations on your promotion, Lloyd, you really won't disappoint."

Randolph, the butler on the side, also approached in time and handed over an exquisite gift box.

"Master Lloyd, this is the promotion gift prepared for you by the young lady."

Lloyd took the gift box and said quickly:

"Mr. Randolph, it's better not to call me that, just call me by my name."

This butler's speech and behavior have always been modest and courteous, with a low posture, and he uses honorific titles for everyone. In the past, Lloyd didn't understand anything, and he didn't think it was a big deal when he was called 'Master' twice, but now the situation is different. But I can't stand this kind of call.

The butler still smiled kindly, looked at Lloyd's uniform, and replied:
"Okay, it seems that Lloyd has learned a lot from the Holy Inquisition. He has completed [Enlightenment] so quickly. He is indeed a young talent that is highly regarded by the young lady."

Lloyd didn't notice any signs of inspiration touching him, but he felt that his apparent strength was probably already well understood by the butler...

Fortunately, he shouldn't be able to see through the [distorted] system behind it. After all, even the Veto Saint can't detect the abnormality.

"Okay, let's sit down and talk later."

Everol greeted everyone to sit down.

During the next dinner, everyone first chatted about Lloyd's current situation, and naturally they still used the same rhetoric of "reporting good things but not bad things".

Miss Desita seemed to believe it was true and encouraged Lloyd to keep working hard; the butler Randolph kept smiling, probably seeing through it but not telling the truth.

The topic soon turned to the popular topic of 'opening up'. During this period, I liked to talk about it in newspapers, radio stations, and after dinner.

Lloyd didn't feel anything about this matter. He only read the entertainment section when buying newspapers every day, so he could only listen to Miss Desita talking:
"My father is very interested in that place. He started investing there early. He also wanted to take my two brothers and several uncles with him. If Lloyd, you didn't join the Holy Inquisition, I originally planned to recommend you to my brother's place. Working on the side..." Miss Desita's father is a famous real estate tycoon, and he must be particularly active in the big development, and even she herself looks eager to try it.

This was also the reason why she initially pushed Lloyd to major in civil engineering.

However, the housekeeper reminded him in a low voice:
"When the great development officially begins, it may be a little harder on your side."

"Well...I'll be ready."

Lloyd nodded.

The great expansion is to go into the wasteland beyond the current sphere of human influence and open up new cities and resource points. It is destined to be a long, vast and arduous process, and it will definitely face countless dangers and require massive investments. Time, manpower and material resources.

So not everyone is optimistic about this kind of thing, and there are countless opponents. They think that the current life is pretty good, why bother to waste people and money?
Before this, humans have carried out many large-scale developments, and there have been countless small-scale developments to expand the city and open up new resource points. There are successes and disastrous failures. The rights and wrongs are difficult to say.

But no matter how you put it, human beings finally established the six giant urban circles today and have the capital to live and work in peace and contentment.

Even if Lloyd doesn't pay much attention to this big development, he won't object to it.

Of course, I will not take the initiative to participate, and I am even more indifferent to the rhetoric in the newspaper about "an excellent opportunity for young people," opening up a big stage, and you can come if there is a job."

If you go out by yourself, what will your sister do?
Soon, after a dinner where the guests and guests enjoyed themselves, Miss Desda dragged the Lloyd siblings to have dessert. They continued chatting in a high-end dessert salon she founded.

This soon evolved into the two women getting together, holding the latest issue of fashion magazines and making various comments, and occasionally giggling.

Lloyd sat next to the butler and wanted to ask for advice, but his eyes always fell on someone else's lap inadvertently.

Although the butler's sitting posture was upright, elegant and impeccable, Lloyd always felt as if his lower body was empty...

The housekeeper didn't seem to mind this too much. He smiled and said nonchalantly:

"This is the price I pay for my seventh [transcendence]."

Lloyd was stunned for a moment.

Seventh time?A seventh-level boss?

It seems that they are called 'promoters'?

Every time an extraordinary person completes [Transcendence], he or she is promoted to a higher level, and people have a collective name corresponding to each level——

For the first time, that is, after completing [Enlightenment], you will be called the 'First Peeper';
The second time, 'knowledge seeker'; the third time, 'explorer'; the fourth time, 'practitioner';
The fifth time, the 'transcender'; the sixth time, the 'guide'; the seventh time, the 'promoter'; the eighth time, the 'agent';
And the ninth time is the 'saint' where the saint is.

Although Lloyd had felt before that this butler, who was as reserved and humble as himself, should have a high rank.

Normally, level five can be called a high-level powerhouse.

I just didn't expect that the housekeeper was already at the seventh level, only two steps away from being a saint.

 Thanks for the [-] points for the extra cute reward!

  Thank you so much!
