At the Registration site, Lilim was still hard at work. But Dania had appeared beside her, dressed in a Maid Outfit, serving Lilim tea and water while arranging the slaves into groups to sit aside and await orders.

The moment Lynn arrived, Dania jogged over and bowed to him. It was not very standard, but it was clear she had practiced. "My lord."

Lynn once again had his Beautiful Girl radar confirmed. After being cleaned up and changed into a Maid Outfit matching Lilim's, Dania's looks and temperament immediately improved.

Her hair was no longer blackish-gray. It almost looked white now—no, it was completely white, wasn't it?

Just like that travel-loving witch. They called her gray-haired, but she looked entirely white-haired.

Her hands were rough, though, and her hair was cut as short as a boy's. Given her young age, if someone said she was a pretty little boy, the priest would absolutely believe it.

No wonder some novels and comics always described brothers turning into Beautiful Girls after growing up. Lynn was seeing it with his own eyes. If Dania changed into Men's clothing, he would think she was a little boy too.

Not knowing what Lilim was thinking, Lynn asked, "Why are you wearing this?"

"Lady Lilim had me put it on. She said Lord Lynn needed a group of girls with Magic and Battle Qi Talent."

Lynn suddenly remembered that he seemed to have said something like that. Those with magical talent were supposed to learn healing magic and such from Lilim. How had that turned into wearing Maid Outfits?

While Lynn was still pondering this, Lilim handed him a booklet. "Master, I've finished the Registration." In front of outsiders, Lilim was the perfect maid. Even after recording the information of several hundred people, she remained so composed and elegant.

Lynn took the booklet. The first page contained Dania's information.

Name: Dania Kaplin

Age: 10

Gender: Female

Race: Human

Physical Features: Grayish-white hair, purple eyes

Magic Affinity: S

Battle Qi Affinity: S

My God!

Lynn was stunned. He had pulled a rare one!

This world's talents were ranked like this: SSS-rank, SS-rank, S-rank, A-rank, B-rank, C-rank, D-rank, and E-rank.

Why did the useless Lynn, the second son of the Gou Jue Family, have an engagement with the Empire's Third Princess? Because Lynn's talent was truly exceptional: SSS-rank.

Even the Third Princess, who was praised as a genius by everyone, was only SS-rank.

That Feng Aotian guy was only S-rank as well.

Lynn had pulled an S-rank right away. He was over the moon.

That meant his faction already had three people above S-rank: Lynn with SSS-rank talent, Lilim with SSS-rank talent, and Dania with S-rank talent.

Their potential for growth was limitless.

This time, Lynn definitely would not neglect improving himself like before. Over the past five years, Lynn had slacked off for years, busy following Lilim's methods to win over the Heroines, with no time to cultivate.

Since Lilim had previously been a God of Love's Attendant, she was lazy too.

As a result, both of them had talent but never grew.

There were nine Cultivation Ranks in total. The Third Princess next door was already Eighth Order, while Feng Aotian was already Seventh Order.

Lynn was only Third Order, while Lilim was a heavyweight too—Second Order.

The two useless idiots had really found each other.

Now Lynn truly felt as though he had been playing this world the wrong way.

Ever since he stopped acting like a two-dimensional Male Lead, everything had gone smoothly.

And now he had even pulled gold.

Still, the surname Kaplin kept reminding Lynn of Feng Aotian's name: Leticia Kaberlin.

Forget it. Kaberlin was not some rare surname. It was like how most Male Leads in novels were surnamed Lin, Ye, Xiao, Su, Lu, and so on—just that kind of surname.

Lynn exclaimed in amazement, "That's incredible. S-rank talent! Have you never had your talent tested before?"

"My lord, testing talent costs money. It takes five whole Silver coins. I didn't have that kind of money..." Dania's lips curled upward, but she also looked embarrassed. She seemed happy to possess such excellent magical talent, yet also seemed to be laughing at her own fate. Only after becoming a slave had she learned of her talent. It was simply ridiculous.

No matter how good her talent was, she was still someone else's slave.

Lynn began using his Head Pat Technique. "What's wrong? Your talent is so good. Be a little happier. Want some cake?"

"My lord, what are you..." With her short hair and the gender she presented herself as, Dania was clearly a tomboy. She was utterly unaccustomed to being petted by Lynn as if she were Lilim.

Lynn had developed quite a technique from petting Lilim all the time. On top of that, this was a Slave owner petting a slave. From resistance to submission, Dania was forced to accept Lynn's head pats in less than a few minutes.

Smart animals were actually easier to tame.

Studies showed that dogs were smarter than cats, so once trained, dogs were generally obedient and could be tamed.

Hakimi only raised its paws to hit people.

If dogs were not a clear enough example, humans could be used as an example too.
