Chapter 636 The Old and New Butlers
Since he started to take advantage of Feimuto, Zheng Shu had a very happy time.
A weekly mozzarella feast is enough to satisfy your cravings, and the rest of the time you’re on the lookout for new gourmet restaurants in Hersharemz.
As a popular internet celebrity city, every day there are humans or aliens who are not afraid of death coming here and opening all kinds of shops, including restaurants.
Although there are many newly opened restaurants, the restaurants of aliens often exceed Zheng Shu's psychological tolerance limit, while human restaurants are often too ordinary, so in most cases he still chooses to go to Libra to eat.
Gilbert is indeed the perfect butler. Both afternoon tea and meals are delicious, and he is constantly improving as time goes by.
Although these meals can only satisfy the appetite of ordinary people, they cannot fill their stomachs at all.
But Zheng Shu didn't lack this little bit of food anyway. If he really wanted to provide energy for his body, it would be easier to summon compressed instant noodles directly into his stomach.
Zheng Shu's help to Libra has increased, and a big part of the reason is that he wants Gilbert to have fewer tasks and make more snacks.
But today, when Zheng Shu came to the headquarters of Libra for lunch in a happy mood as usual, he suddenly heard bad news.
"What? Mr. Gilbert is injured?! Is it serious?!"
Zheng Shu looked at Gilbert with concern. To be honest, after careful observation, he found that the old man, who was still standing upright, had a medical pillow on his neck.
Apart from that, there was not much difference from usual, mainly because even under normal circumstances, Gilbert's body was wrapped in bandages.
And Gilbert himself is not an ordinary human being. Strictly speaking, he should be considered as a member of the "Regenerator" race.
It's a bit similar to werewolf, both are a variant of the human race, and their talent is simply that they can't die!
Of course, although it sounds powerful, it is only limited to not dying.
Injuries, aging, fatigue, and illness will still plague them. Only when they suffer fatal injuries will they heal quickly, maintaining the injury at a level that will not cause death, but they will still feel pain.
After hearing Zheng Shu's surprised cry, Gilbert smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry for making you worry about me. I'm fine. Please see... um!"
"Wow ah ah ah ah!"
"You can't even call this okay, it's far from it!"
Halfway through his words, Gilbert's upper body twisted in an unnatural posture as if his spine was broken, scaring Zheng Shu, Leo and Zapp who were standing by and making them scream in surprise.
"It seems that it is not going to work. You'd better take a good rest."
Zheng Shu quickly helped Gilbert straighten his body and helped him onto the sofa.
He sighed helplessly, then looked fiercely at Leo who was crying beside him.
"I heard that Mr. Gilbert was with you when he was injured? Tell me, who attacked him? Which desperate gang dared to do such a thing? I will destroy them now!"
"Oh!" Zapp on the side also shouted in agreement.
Leo was crying beside him, "No one attacked. When I was helping Mr. Gilbert receive the goods today, my car was hit by a skyfish."
"Sky fish? What sky fish? I told you, sky fish is just the afterimage of a flying insect captured by a camera!" Zapp cursed in disbelief.
Leo tried hard to wipe his tears: "That's because you didn't see it with your own eyes, so you said that! Wuwu..."
Seeing that the quarrel between the two people was getting more and more intense, Gilbert had to step forward to separate the two people: "Please don't worry, it's just some small... wow for me."
Before he could finish his words, one of Gilbert's legs broke in the same strange way, causing him to almost fall to the ground.
Fortunately, Zheng Shu stepped in in time to help him up and carefully placed him on the sofa, thus preventing secondary injuries.
Looking back at the two people arguing, Zheng Shu sighed helplessly. Since there was no guilty party, this matter would be difficult to handle.
In the midst of this chaos, Gilbert's phone suddenly rang.
"Hey……"
Gilbert, lying on the bed, stretched out his hand with difficulty and took out his mobile phone to answer the call. The voice coming from the other end of the phone made his eyes widen involuntarily.
"Long time no see, Gilbert F. Alstine."
"So I'm Catherine Bates, head maid. How are you doing?"
The person who called was the head maid of the Reinherz family, who was also the leader of the servants of the Reinherz family.
"As far as I know, you are seriously injured." Catherine didn't beat around the bush, but went straight to the point.
"Huh? What are you talking about? I don't understand."
Gilbert wanted to struggle a little longer, but Catherine's next words broke his delusion.
"Stop pretending. Master Claus never lies."
"You talked to the young master on the phone?!"
"As the head maid of the Reinherz family, this is natural. I have already sent helpers over on my own initiative."
"What!" Gilbert was startled again.
"Our aim is to complete every task perfectly. I'll be counting on you to take over when the time comes. I wish you all the best."
Before Gilbert could say anything more, Catherine hung up the phone.
Gilbert couldn't help but be lost in thought as he looked at the phone that had been hung up.
Zheng Shu and the other two who were standing by listened to the entire phone call and looked at each other in bewilderment.
"It sounds like someone extraordinary is coming." Leo looked a little worried, "I hope he's someone easy to get along with."
"Idiot! Is that the point? It's obvious now that Gilbert's husband is going to be replaced!" Zapp couldn't help but punch him on the head.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Zheng Shu stood up and said something fair:
"I don't think you need to worry too much. At most, they are just assisting Mr. Gilbert during his injury. Once Mr. Gilbert recovers, he should go back on his own.
After all, no one can make tea better than Mr. Gilbert!
Ah! But speaking of it, I wonder how good the new butler's cooking skills are? I hope he can come up with something new."
“Is that what you care about?!”×2.
Leo and Zapp looked shocked, as if they had just gotten to know Zheng Shu all over again.
"I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!"
"Yeah, yeah, he's even more of a scumbag than me!"
As he listened to what the two people said, veins gradually appeared on Zheng Shu's forehead.
Finally, he couldn't bear it any longer, and with a dark face, he grabbed the heads of the two men with one hand each, and "lifted" them in front of his eyes, and said with a "nuclear" smile:
"Oh? You two have the guts to speak like that in front of me! It seems like you both have quite a bit of courage!"
The two of them turned green as they remembered the fear of being dominated.
"Wait wait wait, I was wrong!"
“I’m dying! It hurts so much!”
……
……
Although they had a lot of fun playing together, it was several days later before Zheng Shuzhen met the new housekeeper.
Since leaving Libra that day, Zheng Shu has been staying at home to conduct research based on his new inspiration.
Because this research is quite difficult, the laboratory level of Libra can no longer meet Zheng Shu's needs, so before Feimto ends his retreat, Zheng Shu can only stay at home and polish it bit by bit.
When he came to the lobby of Libra again, the first thing he saw was the "sick trio" who were playing games together.
"You...are you trying to be on par with Mr. Gilbert, so you hurt yourself?"
Zheng Shu was happy to see Leo and Zapp playing video games with Gilbert.
Needless to say, Gilbert, who still had a medical pillow around his neck, was in great shape. One of Zapp's arms was wrapped in a thick bandage, and based on Zheng Shu's perception, it should be a serious fracture.
It stands to reason that one cannot play a game console with one hand, but Zapp is indeed a genius. He held the game console steadily with one hand, and then used blood fighting magic to create several blood tentacles to help press the buttons.
Speaking of which, Zheng Shu discovered very early on that although the blood-fighting technique that Zapp learned and the abilities displayed by others belonged to the same system of blood-fighting techniques, their levels were completely incomparable.
Whether it was Klaus or Stephen, or even K.K. who used guns, the blood fighting techniques they used were just using blood as energy for combat.
The blood-fighting method used by Zapp is the real "blood manipulation".
Not only in combat, as long as the user's skills and control are sufficient, they can completely rely on manipulating blood to surpass the limits of the human body.
For example, with the method that Zapp is currently using, as long as it is advanced again, he can use blood fighting techniques to manipulate the blood throughout his body to achieve the effect of replacing the internal organs for a short period of time when his heart or some major internal organs are blown up.
If you suffer extensive limb loss during combat, you can use tentacles temporarily condensed by blood fighting techniques to replace the functions of your limbs.
Even in theory, if Zapp's ability is strong enough, even if he is beaten to the point where only his brain is left, he can still use blood fighting techniques to manipulate his blood to stay alive.
In addition to these two seriously ill patients, Leo also had gauze wrapped around his head, and it looked like he had been hit on the head by something.
"You...were you beaten by the new housekeeper?" Zheng Shu hesitated.
"Why do you have such an idea?!"
Leo looked up from the game in shock, unable to comprehend Zheng Shu's logical thinking.
"Hahaha, Mr. Zheng Shu, please don't worry. Although the new butler Reinol is still young, he has been able to handle various things very well and is well received by everyone." Butler Gilbert next to him stood up and said something fair for the new butler.
Zheng Shu stood behind Leo, watching the three of them playing online games, and nodded with interest: "It seems that you are really good to be praised by you, Butler Gilbert."
As the game console buttons clicked, Gilbert manipulated the game character and said without turning his head:
"As expected of the head maid Betz, although she has a strong personality and sometimes forces others to do things that are difficult, she has never made a mistake in her work."
"Why are you talking as if it's none of your business? If you keep going on like this, someone might take away your position as exclusive butler." Zapp on the side complained at the right time.
"Hahahaha, that's really a headache." Gilbert's tone was unexpectedly calm.
"From the sound of you, it seems like you don't take it seriously at all... Let me set the trap!" asked Zapp.
"In order to do our job better, this is also an option... Ah, the target is moving towards T2, please pay attention."
The two were chatting leisurely while playing games, and soon the roar of a monster was heard from the game console.
"Oh, very good, the tail has been cut off, please start collecting." Gilbert put down the game console with a smile.
"Oh oh oh!"
"Go on, go on!"
Boom!Boom!
Seeing that the two had finally won the level, Zheng Shu punched each of them in the head, leaving a big bump.
"You two! Mr. Gilbert is still recovering, so don't bother the old man anymore!"
"Hahaha, Mr. Zheng Shu, don't worry. I'm bored sitting here anyway, so I just want to play some games to relax."
Pulling a chair over from the side and sitting down, Zheng Shu looked around the hall and did not see the new butler. He then looked at Leo and Zapp.
"Looking at the two of you...are you really very satisfied with the new butler?"
"To be honest, it's really good." Zapp touched his chin and thought carefully.
"It's good..." Leo was a little embarrassed, as if he felt it was inappropriate to say these words in front of Gilbert.
"Oh! You are so shallow. You were bought off so easily." Zheng Shu sneered and crossed his arms over his chest. "Let a professional like me judge his level!"
Leo and Zapp lowered their heads in embarrassment, wondering if they were too superficial.
……
……
"Oh! Mr. Reinoeil, this afternoon tea is so delicious. You are definitely the perfect butler!"
After Zheng Shu finished the last bite of snack and drank the tea in the cup, he gave the new housekeeper a thumbs up with satisfaction.
"You are obviously more superficial!" Zapp and Leo shouted in unison.
"You're too long-winded! Making the service staff feel comfortable is one of the housekeeper's responsibilities. Is there anything wrong with what I said?!" Zheng Shu argued.
"Mr. Zheng Shu is right. Head Maid Catherine sent me here for this purpose. This is also my duty as a combat butler!" the new butler responded loudly.
The new butler, Reinol, is a very energetic young man with a handsome appearance and an upright posture. His only shortcoming is probably that he speaks with too much momentum and a loud voice.
