The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 962 The Protagonist?

Zhao Chen already knew Su Xuanbing's guess when he observed the blood moon with his "Vision Eye".

Perhaps it was his narcissism, but Zhao Chen simply had no reason to believe that the "deep exploration" of this other-dimensional world was a "trial" that Taixiao Daojun had "arranged" for him alone, and had little to do with Su Xuanbing.

The task that is publicly known as finding and killing the serial killer is actually Su Xuanbing's responsibility.

Especially the secret discovered during the "Blood Moon," if it's true... Zhao Chen hesitated for a moment, but didn't continue the topic, instead saying:

"This is a three-story building with a garden, stables, and servants' quarters, with more than a dozen rooms. It would be too strange if we didn't have servants to live here, since it's just the two of us."

Su Xuanbing gave him a deep look, but didn't delve into it further. Instead, she followed up on his words and asked, "So, you're planning to hire some maids?"

"Just hire a few maids to do odd jobs on the surface, and I'll figure out the rest of the 'core' servants," Zhao Chen said with a light laugh.

"What method?" Su Xuanbing's spirits lifted, and she asked curiously.

Based on her experience over the past few days, she knew that Zhao Chen was about to reveal his "special skill," after all, his expression and tone were just like when he was about to use a new kind of "joy" to torment her.

"Behold my skills!" Before Zhao Chen finished speaking, Yin and Yang energies suddenly appeared, "weaving" various "materials" from nothing, and finally forging a beautiful female body.

This is not simply a creation using the "Night Light" supernatural power of the "Jade Pool Chess," but rather a "humanoid puppet" created by combining his understanding of the "Puppet Master's Technique."

This can also be considered as practice before making a new body for Xiaoling.

Because if the creations made by the "Chess of Yaochi" were too advanced, they would be difficult for "Xuantian" or other dimensions to "recognize". Therefore, Zhao Chen chose common and universal materials, which means that the puppets he created were just ordinary people and did not possess any extraordinary power.

But such a "humanoid" form is sufficient for a maid.

Su Xuanbing glanced at the newly "baked" humanoid maid and quickly understood her nature. She then smiled and said, "The methods for making these kinds of humanoid puppets are basically derived from the 'Puppet Master' tradition. I didn't expect you to have this kind of 'skill'... However, what's missing is the 'personality' to be woven for her, isn't it?"

As expected of a woman from a prominent family, she is indeed knowledgeable! Zhao Chen praised her in his heart, but on the surface he said confidently, "It's too troublesome to weave personality data, so just copy a ready-made one."

This "ready-made" doesn't refer to Xiao Ling, since she has already given birth to "spirit," and is no longer just "data."

Zhao Chen's real backup is "Guan Si Niang" produced by "Tianhe Goddess Picture".

After all, when it comes to professional maid dolls, these "fairy goddesses" are the best...

Zhao Chen had always said he would help Guan Si Niang change her body, and this time he finally did it... although it wouldn't take more than a few days.

As the "data" flowed in, the maid's eyes quickly became lively. The next moment, she bowed and said, "Greetings, Master and Madam."

Guan Si Niang retained almost all of her "memories" of working for King Liang, and also had some information about this other-dimensional world, so she was not surprised to find herself here.

She glanced at Su Xuanbing a few times with a strange look, secretly marveling at Zhao Chen's audacity—not only were the Imperial Concubine, the Empress, and those other beauties not enough, but he had actually provoked the eldest daughter of the Su family!
They're really not afraid of something going wrong...

Yes, as Liang Wang's former intelligence chief, she knew Su Xuanbing.

Su Xuanbing blushed slightly at being addressed as "Madam," but quickly recovered. She watched as Zhao Chenyi copied the same method and created three more maids, importing "Guan Si Niang's" data into them, with only slight differences in some details.

“Alright, four high-class maids will be enough for now, since we’re not really going to stay here permanently.” Zhao Chen clapped his hands and assigned tasks to the four maids in front of him, each with a different identity. “You, your name here is Alpha. Go to the ‘Metropolitan Household Servants Association’ and hire a few maids and gardeners for odd jobs. “You, your name is Beta. Go to the carriage shop and buy a carriage. I’ll give you a budget of 300 pounds. Bring the coachman back with you.”

"Your name is Gamma, and your task is to hire a skilled chef, preferably one who can cook Fenneport dishes."

"Your name is Delta, and you are in charge of purchasing all the supplies needed for this villa, including clothes, food, and household items."

After finishing speaking in one breath, Zhao Chen looked at Su Xuanbing beside him and asked with a smile, "Is there anything else to add?"

Seeing how meticulous his arrangements were, Su Xuanbing had no intention of offering any further opinions, but then she remembered something and added, "When hiring maids and servants for odd jobs, those who have worked as streetwalkers should be given priority."

Because these kinds of people are likely to be the next target of serial killers.

……

At night, in front of a detached house outside the back door of the "Braveheart Bar" in the Daqiao District, Zhao Chen, wearing a mask, knocked on the door with varying lengths of knocks based on the coded messages he had previously "overheard".

As for Su Xuanbing, she participated in this extraordinary gathering only as a form of divine consciousness, acting as "support".

Since the code was correct, no one suspected Zhao Chen's identity. He was led by a servant to a dimly lit living room and sat down at random.

A number of people were already sitting around here.

Zhao Chen looked at the members of the gathering with great interest. Since the masks could not block the observation of his divine sense, he quickly spotted several "familiar" people.

First, the old gentleman sitting in the main seat, known as the "Eye of Wisdom," is also the organizer of this extraordinary gathering. He is none other than the great detective Isengard, the teacher of the heroic detective whom Su Xuanbing and Su Xuanbing had visited before.

The woman sitting near the left window is the one wearing long gloves... the same one he followed to the Earth Mother Church's Harvest Church last night.

According to the Night Watchman's records, the young lady's name is Hazel Macht, the daughter of a senator. She lost her right arm in a terrible and extraordinary incident and is now a nun in the Church of Mother Earth.

Moreover, she was one of the hero detective's female friends.

The woman with a great figure, wearing a black hood and sitting in the corner, was also listed in the night watchman's file...

Her name was Fanny. Her grandfather was an embassy official and also a craftsman, so she always had extraordinary items to sell...

She was also one of the hero detective's female friends... well, not just her, but also her good friend, Miss Emma.

The man with such a chubby face that even a mask couldn't hide was a "pharmacist"... It was only because the heroic detective vouched for him, and because he was indeed a decent person, that the Night Watchers didn't arrest him...

These people all seem to have some connection with the hero detective... If this alternate dimension is also derived from a fantasy work, then this hero detective is very likely the "protagonist".

Just as Zhao Chen was recognizing everyone, another member of the gathering walked in.

The man had a large beard beneath his mask, and a crystal pendant wrapped around his wrist; his demeanor bore a slight resemblance to the night watchman…

However, the bearded man was not on the Night Watch team's records, so Zhao Chen did not recognize him, but instinctively felt that this person was not as simple as he appeared.
