Examination
Yun Xi frowned slightly, her eyes filled with a hint of doubt and worry, and asked, "What are the assessment contents roughly?"
The butler quickly explained, "Actually, it's not really an assessment. It's just that the mayor wants to check your progress in absorbing... improving your strength."
The mayor needs to understand how you are using the resources you have been given, and to see if your strength has grown to the expected level.
This is mainly to better plan your future development and provide you with more precise and effective support and guidance. Therefore, you don't need to be too nervous; just practice diligently on weekdays and perform normally.
Yun Xi nodded slightly, seemingly lost in thought.
In the short time they were talking, the butler led her through a series of winding corridors to the door of an extremely luxurious room.
The room's doors were tall and ornate, adorned with exquisite carvings, exuding an air of nobility. The butler gently pushed the door open, revealing a scene that was even more breathtaking.
The room was spacious and bright, with a soft, thick carpet on the floor, making it feel like walking on clouds. The walls were adorned with valuable paintings, each one worth a fortune. A dazzling crystal chandelier was embedded in the ceiling, illuminating the entire room as if it were daytime.
One side of the room featured a huge, ornately carved bed, its bedding made of the finest silk, smooth to the touch. On the other side was an exquisite dressing table, laden with various jewelry and cosmetics.
The butler turned slightly to the side and gestured for Yun Xi to proceed, saying, "Miss Yun Cai, this was arranged in a hurry just now. If there is anything you don't like, please feel free to tell me. As your butler, I will be on call 24 hours a day." His tone was extremely respectful, and he wore a sincere smile.
Yun Xi stepped into the room and looked around.
The butler continued, "You see, the curtains are the most fashionable color, and the bed is made of the softest and most comfortable material. But if it doesn't suit your taste, I'll have it changed immediately."
Yun Xi gently shook her head and said, "I'm all better now, thank you, butler."
The butler smiled and nodded, "That's good. The mayor values his successor very much. To become the mayor's successor is an honor that countless people would rather die for. Miss Yun Cai, you must serve the mayor well from now on."
"By the way, Miss Yun Xi, the other two young masters are not currently at the manor. I will arrange for you to meet them again after they return."
Yun Xi nodded slightly, having already made up her mind.
Judging from the steward's words, those two young masters are probably the other two heirs. I wonder what kind of people they are and how strong they are.
The butler spoke solemnly and earnestly, "Furthermore, Miss Yun Cai, in three days, the mayor will host a banquet for you, introducing you to other high-ranking officials in Yimi City. This banquet will be very grand, and renowned figures from all walks of life in Yimi City will be attending."
"At that time, you must perform well, showcasing your charisma and demeanor as mayor who inherits the Ghostly ways. This is not only a crucial opportunity for you to integrate into this circle, but also an excellent chance for you to establish a firm foothold in Yimi City and expand your Abnormal Veins. I believe that with your charm and strength, you will surely shine brightly at the banquet and win everyone's praise and recognition."
Yun Xi listened to the butler's words, her heart was filled with ripples. Could this be a bizarre version of the story from another world?
Good heavens, this was an experience she had never had before, and she was actually experiencing it in the Abnormal Domain.
It is obvious that if one wants to become the domain lord of the Yilan Abnormal Domain, one must rise through the ranks of these official forces. Yun Xi's goal is to rise from the position of mayor to governor, then to the center of power, and finally to become the domain lord.
She knew that this banquet was not just a simple entertainment event, but a crucial test concerning her future. She was about to face a group of high-ranking, sophisticated, and cunning individuals.
Similarly, this is also a rare opportunity.
If one can perform well at the banquet, one can win a place for oneself in Yimi City, expand the resources of the Abnormal Veins, and lay a solid foundation for future development.
However, Yun Xi also felt that this step-by-step development was too slow. After all, her Disguise Rune was only effective for 3 years.
If one wants to advance through normal channels, gradually rising from a minor position to become mayor, then governor, and so on, the speed is simply too slow.
This will definitely not work. It seems we need to find another way to get promoted quickly.
Most importantly, she didn't want to waste too much time in this Abnormal Domain.
Just then, the butler narrowed his eyes slightly and continued, "The other two young masters should also be returning by then. They may have their own affairs outside, but they certainly won't be absent from such an important occasion."
This is also a good opportunity for you to get to know them, since you will all be successors to the mayorship in the future, and mutual assistance and support will be essential.
The butler's expression turned serious, and he solemnly said, "According to the mayor's wishes, one successor ghost will take his current position in the future, while the other successor ghosts will serve as assistants."
Therefore, Miss Yun Cai, the relationship between the three of you is both competitive and cooperative. Thus, it's only natural that you strive to maintain a good relationship.
After all, only with harmonious relationships can we maintain a healthy competitive environment, achieve seamless cooperation, and work together to serve the mayor and contribute to the future of our Yimi City.
Yun Xi had essentially forgotten that the butler was the mayor's mouthpiece; he would remind Yun Xi of any information that the mayor couldn't easily share.
It seems that the butler plays a crucial role in this mansion, serving as both an executor and a messenger. Every word he conveys likely represents some intention of the mayor.
Yun Xi smiled and said sincerely, "I understand, thank you, butler."
After seeing the butler off, Yun Xi waited in the room for a while before receiving her identity card as the inheritor of the Ghost. The identity card was exquisitely made and shimmered with a mysterious light.
Without the slightest hesitation, Yun Xi immediately set off for the library in Yimi City, intending to look at deeper information about the Yilan Abnormal Domain, especially... besides the normal promotion path, are there any other ways to become a domain lord?
After entering the library, Yun Xi did not dare to waste any time. She first focused on studying the obscure and difficult-to-understand Abnormal Script of the Yilan Abnormal Domain.
