Chapter 230 Getting Down To Business
Looking Bai Shishi up and down, Lucian had a look of realization.
"With the way you're kneeling, you really do look like a dog. No wonder your parents named you Shishi."
Bai Shishi's brows furrowed in confusion.
"Master, what do you mean?"@@@@
Even though he said that, he unconsciously adjusted his kneeling position.
[Host, less bullying and more actual relevant questions.] The System advised in a sighing voice.
[Fine. Fine. You're no fun. Also, it's not my fault that 'shishi' has multiple meanings — lion, dog, and deer — they're the same thing in front of a Mage.]
After saying that, Lucian got down to business.
"Have you heard of the Black Fire Bandits?"
Hearing this, terrified expressions appeared on the faces of the Bai family and Pei Buhan.
Seeing their terrified expressions, it was obvious they had heard of the notorious gang.
"Master, may I ask a question?" Bai Shishi asked respectfully, still with his head facing the floor.
"Go on." Lucian urged.
"Why have you brought up the Black Fire Bandits?"
"I was getting to that." Lucian's smile widened. "It's good that you've heard of them. It saves me quite a bit of trouble explaining who they are."
Lucian continued, "Now then, the question is, do you know how to get in contact with someone from the Black Fire Bandits?" Discover stories with My Virtual Library Empire
Bai Shishi swallowed hard, trying to fight back the terror in his heart.
"Y-yes, Master. I have a contact among them."
Now, only Lucian and Pei Buhan remained in the room.
"Pei Buhan, stay here and don't let anyone enter the suite. We don't need room service or anyone poking their noses where they don't belong."
Pei Buhan nodded hastily.
"Understood, Master. I'll guard this suite with my life. No one can enter with me here. Please be at ease."
Lucian doubted his over-enthusiastic words but chose not to burst his bubble. He then made his way back to his balcony and stretched his limbs, letting the warmth from the sun envelope him. But despite the warmth, his mind was elsewhere.
[I wish Lily were here.] Lucian said meaningfully with a sigh. He missed the way she looked at him with admiration and warmth in her big, adorable, pink eyes.
The hint was obvious, as bright as the sun.
However, the System remained silent, as did Lucian.
Yet, hope sprouted in Lucian's heart as the System's silence meant it was considering his obvious hint.
After remaining silent for almost a minute, the System announced, [This is the Host's Trial, and no third party can influence or affect said Trial.]
Lucian sighed and closed his eyes in disappointment.
But then, unexpectedly, the System's voice continued after a brief pause, [However, the System can transmigrate people who are deeply connected with the Host into a body belonging to this world.]
Hearing this, Lucian's eyes snapped open.
[What?]
He then sat up with an excited expression.
The Trial was bound to take many days if not weeks. The old man, who Lucian had to obtain his approval from, was ruthless. Becoming his disciple and learning from him were many tests in the future.
After just two days Lucian spent in this world, he had grown bored of the monotony. It could not be helped as one-third of his Soul contained Chef Lucian from Earth. That guy when he was not cooking in the kitchen was always reading web novels or watching anime.
Moreover, if his Mana Veins had not been sealed, he could have spent his idle time absorbing Mana.
