A One-Hundred-Year Maid Contract! / Theresia Wants to Explode with Knowledge.
My body hasn't recovered from the effects of the mushroom yet; even when I stand up, my abdomen is still cramping.
Kal'tsit's ability to maintain a respectful demeanor while wearing a stern expression already demonstrates her remarkable willpower.
However, she was also certain that the man in front of her wouldn't do anything to her; he was entirely driven by self-interest. Otherwise, if he really tried to seduce her...
Kal'tsit had no choice but to flee. If she hadn't run away, there would definitely have been two more people unable to sleep today.
Especially when the other person is also very good-looking...

Chapter 123 A Hundred-Year Maid Contract!
The air was deathly silent.
Kal'tsit stood before Master Huang, awaiting his reply.
A sense of powerlessness welled up inside her. In the past, the schemers she had encountered would value themselves and then concoct riddles with her.
Once you connect on brainwaves, people will give you some face, and it will be easier to discuss cooperation.
But the boy in front of him didn't seem to buy into his act at all. He spoke very bluntly and didn't give him any face.
Moreover, they have almost no weaknesses, not to mention being sexually averse in the Terra's land the average person is sexually indifferent.
Even when faced with technology capable of overturning the entire world and himself, ancient Immortals, he remained almost completely unfazed.
The other party was undoubtedly greedy, but this greed was very restrained, making him a perfect example of a wise ruler.
If only Theresia could win over the man in front of her...
One focuses on external affairs, the other on internal affairs; they are almost a perfect match.
"It's a pity that's impossible. All the good reputation will go to this pink-haired one girl, and we'll have to take her feelings into consideration."
As if guessing what the green cat in front of her was thinking, Huang Cao crossed out her chest.
It's hard to describe the feeling that comes with such a small body.
If you're going to be someone, be the biggest one. What's the point of working under someone else?
A true man is born between heaven and earth; how can he remain subservient to others for long?
An ideal is just a reason to move forward.
"As for what value you have, I really haven't found anything."
Kal'tsit raised an eyebrow. "I think I'm quite attractive. Wouldn't it be pleasing to the eye to have me by your side?"
Can I take this as a joke?
Kal'tsit was obviously joking, and this was one of the few times she had made a joke in tens of thousands of years.
She had never felt so powerless.
The two sat in the room staring at each other until Kal'tsit felt a chill on her thigh.
Oh, so it's the maid outfit that got wet before that's now being applied to my thighs.
"Kal'tsit, may I ask what you're wearing under your skirt...?"
Didn't you notice when you touched my stomach just now?
"There really isn't."
Huang Cao said you can't doubt the massage therapist's professionalism; if he says he didn't look, then he didn't look.
"Will this help you with Theresia? I'm only wearing white underwear under my skirt, no safety shorts."
Kal'tsit said with a calm expression.
"No, I'm just curious, and I also want to play the role of a wicked Noble Lord."
"I hope you can have some sophisticated interests, which can add some meaning to a boring life."
Huang Cao shook his head with a slightly annoyed expression. "It's a pity that there's already enough sophisticated fun on this land; it needs someone like me, an unconventional person, to lighten things up."
Anyway, it was just a joke, and Kal'tsit knew it was a joke.
But isn't this a great opportunity? Now it's time to see who has the thickest skin.
The cat knew perfectly well that the man in front of it would probably chase it away in the next second.
But he couldn't leave; the emaciated Theresia was waiting for him to feed her gold coins.
So just as Huang Cao was about to chase the cat away, Kal'tsit, with a cold face and a look of disgust, lifted her maid's long skirt.
"Master Huang, is this enough?"
Furthermore, since Kal'tsit had just inhaled some Charm Mushroom, causing her to collapse on the spot, the wet cloth couldn't cover anything at all.
Even in such an awkward situation, Kal'tsit remained unfazed; her skin, thickened by over 30,000 years of experience, was no ordinary thing.
"The apartment layout is excellent, but since you've gone to such lengths, I might as well give Theresia a chance."
Huang Cao never expected that Kal'tsit was so serious in the story, would actually do this. Even someone as thick-skinned as him couldn't possibly do nothing at all.
It was originally just a joke, and a way to find an excuse to get rid of the cat.
I never expected Kal'tsit to actually explode on the spot.
However, Huang Cao is not the kind of person who would offer compensation just because someone is looking at him, even though in principle he was the one who offered it.
But now everyone's just shameless; principles and such should have been thrown aside long ago.
If Kal'tsit could throw away her 30,000 years of integrity, then I, who have only lived for less than a hundred years, can certainly throw it away too.
It's impossible for me to suffer a loss; I'll never suffer a loss in my entire life.
After thinking for about ten minutes, a slave treaty popped into Huang Cao's head.
Kal'tsit, work for me for a hundred years!
"I can help Theresia build the factory, but you have to work for me for a hundred years, and I have to take the lion's share of the profits, six for me and four for her."
The cat in front of him pursed its lips and gritted its teeth, but in the end, it could only let out a sigh.
Sure enough, it was impossible to expect this guy to pity me; my beauty was probably worth less than a gold coin in his eyes.
A hundred years? How did you even come up with that? Do you want me to take care of your children?
But since things had come to this, we had no choice but to agree.
"I can agree, but you must guarantee the factory's income. The profit that Theresia receives each year must be more than 30,000 gold coins."
"Although I really want to say no, seeing how humble you are, I'm willing to take pity on you. Thirty thousand gold coins it is, it's just a small number to me anyway."
After finishing, Huang Cao continued, "But do you know the consequences of what you're doing? I can use the influence of this factory to further weaken the faith of ordinary Sarkaz in Theresia, and I can even take the opportunity to control a part of the country's economic lifeline."
Based on the current gold price, this figure translates to nearly 200 million in cash, which is nothing short of a windfall for Theresia.
Huang Cao plans to build a fertilizer synthesis plant in Kazdel, because the machinery for synthesizing fertilizer is made from his own Abundance Plants, only covered with a metal shell to make others think it is machinery.
This would prevent Theresia from acquiring any technology from the factory, while also making Kazdel's agricultural production more reliant on chemical fertilizers, and even gradually controlling the country's production economy...
In any case, this is a deal that does more harm than good.
Aside from bringing short-term benefits to the country, Kal'tsit's actions have only brought harm in the long run.
Huang Cao wouldn't let this opportunity pass, which is why he agreed to the cat's request.
Kal'tsit naturally considered this aspect, and so the game between the two sides began at this time.
However, no matter what kind of game you play, you need pieces to play. Although in the long run it is indeed more harmful than beneficial, it is at least beneficial now.
"A hundred years is a bit too long..."
Kal'tsit carefully considered the timing.
"This is my bottom line. If I can't agree to this, then I can't help Theresia."
Huang Cao, a heartless capitalist, said that if they wanted to come, they could; if they didn't, he wouldn't lose anything.

Chapter 124 Theresia Wants to Learn a Lot of Knowledge.
Anyway, it's you who's asking for help, not me.
Kal'tsit finally gave in, pressing her fingerprint on the contract, agreeing to obey the man before her for the next hundred years.
Aside from not being allowed to do anything that would harm Theresia, she had to agree to even if Huang Cao asked her to warm her bed.
It was almost like a slave contract.
Of course, most of these conditions depend on whether Kal'tsit is willing or not. After all, if she really doesn't want to do it, she can just cut her own throat and start over somewhere else.
However, this also ruined Theresia's money-making plan.
Huang Cao could shut down the factory that very day, as only he could operate the equipment inside; the workers inside couldn't learn how to do it.
"You two clearly have the same goal, so why can't you work together?"
During the conversation, Kal'tsit also understood what the man in front of her wanted to do.
Huang Cao's goal is similar to Theresia's, and they can even be said to have the same destination through different paths.
The approach was just not as gentle.
Theresia likes to reason with others, while Huang Cao likes to talk about physics.
"I respect Theresia's ideals and admire the brilliance of idealists, but I am not a saint. I also have my own needs and desires."
"This almost certainly means that I am not an idealist at all. Theresia's ideals are very pure and cannot tolerate the slightest blemish. Wouldn't it be asking for trouble if I cooperated with her?"
Huang Cao: "Now do you think it's better to cooperate with this pink-haired one? It would just be adding another burden to our family."
Kal'tsit still hadn't given up on the idea of dragging someone down with her, after all, the man in front of her was a big shot.
"Alright, that's enough. Let's go back. The contract will be on Theresia's desk soon. Don't worry, I'll give you two a chance to meet in the future. It would be nice if you could visit her during your holidays."
"You'll be very busy from now on."
Aside from the benefits of building the factory, Huang Cao also valued Kal'tsit's almost omnipotent labor force, feeling that life would be incomplete without this cat.
The room can be cleaned faster, and it's nice to tease it occasionally.
Having such a serious person by your side is a unique kind of fun.
Two weeks later.
Having lost her freedom, Kal'tsit returned to the Demon King's Palace and secretly made a deal that sold out her dignity, without telling her best friend.
"Your Highness, we have money!"
As soon as Kal'tsit saw Theresia, she couldn't help but tell her best friend the good news.
Theresia was overjoyed and immediately hugged Kal'tsit tightly.
"Thank you for your hard work, Kal'tsit."
"Let's not talk about that now. Before that, I need to discuss the specifics with you."
Kal'tsit revealed all the drawbacks of building the factory, but concealed the fact that the factory's builder was Huang Cao.
"You mean, Kazdel could be in danger of being taken over by someone because of this factory?"
Theresia covered her mouth in surprise; this was clearly beyond her comprehension.
Previous wars were based on physical conditions and involved bloodshed. How could an economy alone be enough to overthrow a country?
"This is a very complex issue. With the development of technology and the breaking down of information barriers, no country can remain uninvolved. The economy will become the most important thing besides war."
Theresia didn't know what had happened to Victoria, but Kal'tsit had spoken with Gawain, so she knew all too well what kind of man he was.
Making money is one thing, but it must be guarded against and protected, otherwise the country will be Huang Cao while the factory is still running.
However, without her own oversight, can Theresia really keep a positive eye on this factory?
Huang Cao was very kind; he gave Kal'tsit six months to prepare, which was his last act of kindness.
This is based on my initial impression from playing games before. Although Kal'tsit was mean to the Doctor in the early stages, she was ultimately kind-hearted despite her sharp tongue.
Cats are quite cute, it would be nice if they told fewer riddles.
