บท 17: Enhancing An Ning
An Ning woke up early after her alarm went off.
She'd barely slept yesternight and it was not because she was active, trying to get information on Jiang Hao, but because of the noises that were coming from his bedroom.
Was the house big? Yes.
Was the soundproofing good? Yes.
Then why did these psychos have to do it in the living room and then take it upstairs but fail to close the door? Shameless.
Just thinking of the noises that were coming from the rooms made her feel itchy and ticklish.
How could Mr. Jiang have so much energy? There was definitely more than one girl there.
An Ning could understand them, but it still made her feel… unsettled. It was like they were all fighting for positions and she, the main 'wife', was unaware and unprepared.
But An Ning was not going to play this game with them. They were already on different boards, how could they play the same game?
Her mission was more important.
An Ning tidied her uniform and made her way to the study. It surprisingly fit very well.
When she saw the house, from the outside it was still ok, more opulent than most, but still within the realm of understanding. But when she came inside, it was a completely different world.
She thought that as the head maid, she'd have jurisdiction over the others, but then she met Alice, an AI. The title became redundant immediately.
The others were also the same.
Su Xiaoyu, the head chef almost got depressed when she tasted the food made by the automated machines. Same for the others.
She watched as more than 100 outfits were printed on the spot for each one of them. Different and distinct, fitting all the necessary dimensions and bringing out their charm to the fullest.
The material alone was enough to be priced at hundreds of thousands. Just wearing it made her feel special and capable. It was a very refreshing feeling.
"Good morning Ms. An. The master is waiting for you in his study."
"Eh, so early? Oh, good morning Alice."
"Yes, Mr. Jiang rarely sleeps for more than 3 hours. You should get familiar with his routine and try to keep up."
"Certainly."
An Ning dared not delay.
She made her way through the arched passage and at a distance, she could see the pile of bodies that looked too exhausted to care about their sleeping posture.
She knew that this was the group from the cruise company. That also means that the air hostesses were the ones screaming and moaning upstairs.
'But why do I feel like they have changed?'
An Ning did not think too much after. Jiang Hao was waiting.
It did not take long for her to arrive.
*Knock, knock*
"Come in."
The calm but imposing voice of Jiang Hao made her flustered a little but soon calmed down and entered the room.
"Good Morning Mr. Jiang."
"Good Morning An Ning. You look stunning in your new wear."
"Thank you for the compliment. Alice said that you are looking for me?"
"Ah, yes. The others have all gotten their enhancements. Come sit."
"Enhancements?"
"You'll know what it is in time. First, some questions. How frequently do you need to report back?"
An Ning's heart skipped a bit and her face paled a little.
"What do you mean?"
A terrifying thought appeared in her mind, but she did not dare think about it. She was clearest about the value of the things in this house. If she were to send back this information, it'd take a thousand pages just to describe the wonders in this house. She did not want to be exposed so soon.
Well, the other thing was that Jiang Hao did not look like a good person. If things went south, she could only fight, incapacitate him, and escape. Maybe she could also kidnap him if it is convenient?
But that is quite risky. Who knew what consequences they would suffer? Ouroboros was not so easy to deal with.
"Why would the government send such a talent to me? Graduated from a military school and then joined a military university and gained great merits and achievements, the youngest female strategist, a holder of the meritorious service medal, the list goes on and on. Do you like being a spy that much?"
"…"
An Ning's felt her mind buzzing. As a spy, her records were all over the place. Even she had never heard of such a comprehensive evaluation before.
How did this man get it?
'No, I have to escape.'
With a bust of speed, An Ning sprinted toward the window behind Jiang Hao, break it with a flying kick.
*Dang*
The sound of hitting steel.
An Ning felt numb. What kind of glass is this?
"Are you done? Sit down and stop playing around."
Jiang Hao's cold voice woke her up. Indeed, she could at least take Jiang Hao hostage and learn more about Ouroboros.
She acted immediately.
*Snap*
"A slap?!"
An Ning looked stunned for a moment. It took a minute for her to come back to her senses.
The ringing sound in her ears did not stop her mind from working on overdrive.
How did her fierce pounce get blocked by a slap?
And what was with that hand? Was it made of steel?
…
Jiang Hao looked at An Ning's confused eyes and he found the cute somehow.
Seeing her question her whole life made him excited for some reason.
He almost lost his momentum.
'Well, maybe enhancements can come first. System, enhance An Ning's fitness, stamina, and physique +3'
