Chapter 281: The Servant's Code and the One Who Ignores All Rules
……
“The servant’s standing collar should look like this, right? Tsk, my memory isn’t very clear.”
“Isn’t there a standard template to compare against?”
“There shouldn’t be any problem just because of the outfit, right? It doesn’t seem like the rules say what happens if someone’s attire is found unqualified.”
Inside Xie Antong’s fitting room, she had already changed into her outfit, a style resembling a Gothic maid dress, tidying herself in front of the mirror.
She had never planned to cling to anyone’s power. Even with Sin, the world’s number one teammate, she still held a deep respect for the Hell Mode game.
[Servant’s Code 3: As a servant, you must always keep your clothing neat and properly worn.]
As a normal player, she had never thought she could just come in and blatantly ignore the game’s rules.
So, she read through them one by one, following the instructions.
When she was younger, she had once seen the standardized servants at home. Although it had been a long time ago, she relied on her memory to try to dress herself accordingly.Stepping out of the room, she glanced at her livestream again, hoping to spot any issues.
[: So pretty! Did Blank ever really look this much like a woman before?]
[: Damn, why is this game so smart? Changing clothes actually interrupted the livestream.]
[: Watching her change here makes me want to laugh. The next door already declared themselves the ultimate will.]
Xie Antong originally wanted to check for any criticism about her outfit, but when she saw those comments, she was speechless.
However, when she saw the last comment mentioning “next door,” she became a bit curious.
“Who is next door?”
She often asked outsiders for information since information was her weapon.
But no one answered seriously; most were playing abstract games.
Still, based on her understanding, she quickly guessed that the person people were talking about on the other side had to be Sin.
She didn’t know what insanely outrageous thing he had done this time.
Could it be that he deliberately broke every rule from the start again…
Without much time to dwell on that insanely powerful companion, she quickly finished reading the remaining rules.
[Servant’s Code 4: The princess’s words must never be disobeyed; always comply with and soothe the princess’s emotions.]
[Servant’s Code 5: The princess sometimes rambles; guide her gently but never disobey.]
[Servant’s Code 6: Always remember, the wedding is the most important matter.]
[Servant’s Code 7: Guards are stationed outside the door; do not oppose their opinions or requests.]
[Servant’s Code 8: You may only leave the room during the specified times and must meet the princess at the designated times, according to the clock’s notifications.]
[Servant’s Code 9: Once you have read this, you are familiar with the servant’s code. As a servant, disobedience will cost you your life!!!]
The last line of the code was followed by several crimson exclamation marks.
Then, the paper with golden edges turned to ash in Xie Antong’s hands.
She instinctively released her grip, then activated the All-Seeing Eye, frantically memorizing every word—but she realized it was unnecessary.
Because after seeing the paper burn, these nine rules were already permanently etched into her game interface, as if they had been there from the start.
“This design is quite convenient, but what if I just didn’t read it in the first place?”
“Emmmm……”
Her preparations were nearly complete. She relaxed her tense nerves slightly and looked up at the clock on the wall.
The exquisite clock was shaped like a princess, holding up her skirt with both hands, looking like a delicate and expensive ornament.
If it weren’t for the Hell Mode game setting, such a beautiful item would surely be cherished dearly.
“The rest of the action timing should depend on this clock’s notifications, right…”
……
“The remaining time should be free activity, right?”
Lu Ce paced around the room like a leader inspecting his troops, making a judgment he thought was absolutely foolproof.
After all, there seemed to be nothing in the room—no hints or prompts about the game.
“This game is really irresponsible. No information at all. They don’t even explain what the wedding is.”
Lu Ce picked up the list of rules on the table and then tossed it into a corner.
He glanced at the clock’s broken pieces on the floor, thinking that since there were servants, they should be the ones to clean it up; no need for him to do it himself.
Oh, right, the game had just said that he was the supreme will within this game.
By that logic, the game’s progress was probably controlled by him!
“Hah, what a useless game. Even to continue, it needs me.”
“I come here to sleep, and this game just ends?”
Alone in the room, he started mocking the game wildly. He shook his head and then looked back, only to notice two footprints on the exquisite velvet bed.
He had stepped on it when smashing the clock.
Lu Ce’s golden mask revealed an extremely angry expression, as if veins were bulging. He shouted:
“Why haven’t the servants arrived yet? Don’t they know to clean the dirty bed?”
Forget it, since that’s the case, he would have to go out and check.
He looked in the mirror, adjusted his look according to his current aesthetic, and had the Illusion Cloak transform his outfit into a golden suit, as flashy as it was eye-catching.
No matter where he was, this outfit would definitely attract top-level attention.
Dressed head to toe in dazzling gold, Lu Ce looked at himself, nodded, and pushed the door open to leave.
Without any clock notification—and with Lu Ce completely unaware of the clock notifications’ existence—the door was opened!
In this magnificent yet oppressive place, he was the only one who opened the servant’s door.
“Hm?”
At the doorway, a giant man patrolled back and forth about two meters away. His bare arms revealed large muscles, and his clothes were adorned with various wolf teeth decorations.
Upon hearing the door open, he was stunned at first, then his eyes shot out red light like a special effect as he turned to look.
He saw a dazzling golden figure step out.
“Hm?” Lu Ce also noticed him and naturally waved his hand at him, like teasing a dog.
“Security? Come here for a moment.”
