Monique cleared her mind of the jumbled thoughts, raised her head, and stared intently at the seemingly unreliable man before her.

Roy, he's the last obstacle!

Although Roy always seemed carefree and always ran away when trouble arose, Monique never thought he was someone to be trifled with! She had tried to investigate Roy's strength, but without exception, the results were always ambiguous and deliberately mysterious: "The Azure Gold Rank hasn't personally taken action in a long time, but he must be very strong!" Even as colleagues of the same rank, Monique had never witnessed Roy in action. This man was a master of concealing his abilities and enduring hardship; even targets he could easily handle were left unattended, left to that "Little Platinum" to deal with.

Weapons with exposed sharpness are often easily broken, while a sword hidden in its scabbard is more likely to kill with a single blow!

This order was personally issued by Xuan Tie via anonymous phone. The mission rank is in line with the Azure Gold level. If nothing unexpected happens, this may be the first and last time that Monique will have the opportunity to witness Roy take action!

But you can't go out!

If Roy intervenes, who would believe that Monique played a part in this Platinum Purge?

Don't underestimate the influence of seniority in the Kazimierz workplace. Monique isn't stupid. After witnessing how Hintraya was fooled, she didn't want to be dismissed by Roy's "newcomers need more training" rhetoric and watch helplessly as her hard-won stable position and opportunity to establish authority became Roy's foil.

So, Monique coughed lightly, and under Roy's questioning gaze, stood up with a serious expression, walked up to him, and then...

"Please, Lord Roy, you must entrust this mission entirely to me!"

With her hands folded over her lower abdomen, her body leaning forward at a ninety-degree angle to her legs, she spoke with a rare air of respect! Less than half a meter in front of Roy, Monique bowed deeply to him with her curvaceous figure, uttering the softest words in the harshest tone!

A look of joy and relief was visibly on Roy's face.

Roy definitely didn't want to take on this mission!

As everyone knows, as a transmigrator, although he transmigrated through a soul transfer, he didn't inherit the original owner's excellent martial arts skills. At best, he could only rely on muscle memory to create a set of archery techniques "characteristically Roy's". Apart from that, on the Terra land where gods fight everywhere, he had almost no considerable combat power.

The reason he was able to survive peacefully in the Unarmored Alliance and secure the Azure Gold deal was not only due to his superb acting skills, rich experience, and perfect rhetoric, but also the assistance of the [Module System] cheat.

The so-called module system, as the name suggests, extracts a character's traits to enhance them, fill in weaknesses, or further strengthen an existing character. However, it seems that due to Roy's soul being transported to another world, the module system couldn't find the files. Therefore, instead of extracting Roy's traits, it started extracting the traits of all characters in the entire Terra world folder. Obtaining these modules is simple: Roy just needs to work diligently and complete the task targets, and the modules will be automatically extracted and unlocked.

However, perhaps due to a bug in the system's crap-filled code, the module system that Roy finally got his hands on was somewhat abstract.

[Currently loaded module: ? Level [Kal'tsit's Riddle]: As one of the most mysterious beings on this land, the lynx's words always carry extraordinary magic, making people feel as if they can glimpse the truth of the land when they hear them.]

Effect: When you speak, your words will be shrouded in mystery, leaving people somewhat confused yet unable to fully comprehend them, but ultimately convinced. (The effect is doubled when the phrase "this land" appears in your sentences).

Progress to unlock next module: 9/10

This module is incredibly powerful, so powerful that Roy can instantly transform into the ultimate master of empty promises, healing his subordinates with words and turning them into hardworking corporate slaves who strive to provide a better life for their boss. However, this module is also incredibly weak, because it genuinely lacks any combat capabilities whatsoever!

Unless your enemy is stupid enough to listen to your verbal sparring before a fight—and everyone knows that's impossible. The last real-life example of someone trying to verbally spar before a battle was Wang Lang, who was later scolded by Zhuge Liang to the point of lying on the ground.

Roy is a hard-working, overworked office worker, and he firmly opposes this kind of physical display of power.

Before Roy could unlock the next module and gain potential combat power, he was still missing one more mission! Roy had originally entrusted this mission to Platinum, but who knew that Xuan Tie would suddenly issue an urgent order, specifically requesting Qing Jin to personally handle it. Roy was just thinking about how to persuade Monique to play for him, but unexpectedly, the boosting service came knocking on his door!

And judging from her appearance, she's even willing to pay Roy to play for him. Is there really such a good thing in the world?

"Okay." The words practically slipped out, but as soon as he finished speaking, seeing Monique's slightly surprised expression, Roy immediately realized something. He changed the subject, quickly holding up three fingers, and then added, "But you have to agree to three conditions!"

P.S.: The first module has appeared! Feel free to share any creative ideas you have in the book review section; the author might just add them later.

This book is lighthearted and entertaining, full of references and jokes. Please add it to your favorites, thank you!

Volume 1: Chapter 3 We need to significantly boost Platinum's work enthusiasm.

The dimly lit bar, the loud music, and the flashing neon lights, along with the handsome men and beautiful women gazing passionately at each other at the tables, undoubtedly make it the most eye-catching place in the dark night.

Luckily, the bar Roy chose was in a remote location with few customers; otherwise, there would probably be several more versions of gossip news about this street tomorrow.

Even so, several patrons in the field of vision had already begun to look in this direction to watch the show.

Roy seized the opportunity to change the subject, teasingly saying:

"Monique, you don't want our photos to be published in the wine newspaper tomorrow, do you?"

The classic quote provided by netizens from the East clearly played its due role. The rather thin-skinned Victoria Felin didn't even have time to think about Roy's slightly awkward pronunciation earlier. She immediately sat back down in her seat obediently, and didn't forget to glare at Roy, who had joked with her.

She knew that Roy, that old fox, wouldn't agree so easily. Three conditions? As long as they weren't too outrageous, she could accept them for the sake of her future prospects.

Monique consoled herself, thinking that she might be entering a paid storyline at any time.

After all, eliminating a Platinum member is an easy task for a Lapis Lazuli member. But that's precisely why no one would readily agree to hand over a performance opportunity that's practically handed to them. After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch, and there's always a price tag behind someone's kindness.

This is why Monique humbled herself from the start and pleaded with Roy. Roy was the supplier, and Monique was the customer. In a situation where supply couldn't meet demand, it would seem suspicious if Roy didn't ask for anything.

Having grasped the intricacies of the situation, since Monique wanted a deal, Roy might as well give her one.

Taking a deep breath and looking at the already equipped module [Kal'tsit's Riddle], Roy took another deep breath, revealing a mysterious smile. While thinking, he slowed down his speech and slowly listed out the following conditions: "First, I can assign the mission to you, but the mission report submitted to Xuan Tie must also have my signature."

This clause is to prevent Monique from playing tricks. After all, Xuan Tie requires two people for the mission. If only Monique is submitted in the final report, although it can be explained, it will inevitably create more trouble and leave uncertainties. As for the reputation Monique needs, Roy will ensure that he is still on his way on his camel when leading the hunt.

This wasn't unreasonable, and Monique immediately nodded in agreement.

Then came the second point: "Second: After the mission is completed, the Platinum position will be vacant, and I hope you can join me in recommending my little Platinum."

Humans always prefer compromise. If you let Hintelia be the lapis lazuli, where will Roy sit? But if you make Hintelia work for so long without any reward, it certainly hurts her motivation. For the sake of sustainable resource conservation, Roy is a good mediator.

Old Platinum was fired, which is just as well. I suppose Hinterlea won't be too disappointed with this destined position.

"Little Platinum?" Upon hearing this nickname, Monique was first stunned, then showed a shocked expression.

Is Roy planning to let that girl named Hintria take over Platinum's position? No, he's "already prepared" to put her in that position?

Recalling Roy's genuine, heartfelt smile when he heard my request, like a fisherman seeing fish fall into his net, did he already foresee Platinum's downfall and also anticipate that I would use this opportunity to ask him for help?

Come to think of it, the initial speculation about "Platinum being fired" came from his mouth, and it was only then that I realized it was true...

Monique suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, and even Felin's tail stood on end, his carefully groomed fur bristling, making him look like a cat with a puffed-up fur.

Anyone who suddenly realizes that everything they have is being controlled by someone else will inevitably feel a sense of fear and lingering apprehension. Especially when that someone else is a seemingly carefree and unassuming colleague, Roy's words seem shrouded in a fog. At first, Monique wanted to lift the veil, but when the veil was finally lifted and the truth was revealed, she was suddenly filled with trepidation and kept her distance.

Monique swallowed hard and nodded with difficulty. She knew she had no choice. She could only bite her pale red lips and ask with difficulty, "What about the third condition?"

"The third condition..."

Roy pursed his lips; he really couldn't think of anything.

Monique had no grudges against him yesterday or recently, and was even willing to help him with tasks and unlock modules. Roy was so grateful to her that he had no other thoughts.

After racking his brains for a long time without any results, Roy decided to take this opportunity to establish himself as a friendly colleague, cultivate the feelings of the prospective employees, and thank Monique for her hard work.

"Thirdly, I hope that after this mission is over, you can change into a nicer outfit, and then we can go out and have fun for a day, how about it? It's on me," Roy suggested with a smile.

"..."

Monique fell silent. She suddenly turned her head, grabbed the apple juice on the table, took a swig, and her pupils dilated in shock.

What kind of request is this? To change into something nicer and go out for a day? What about work? What about tasks? Are you just going to ignore it all? Does he want me to use up my precious annual leave?

And Roy... he wouldn't be... it couldn't possibly be... inviting me on a date, right?

"boom!"

The inexplicable image that flashed through her mind was slammed heavily onto the glass table along with the wine glass by Monique. Monique's expression shifted rapidly, finally turning her head, her face flushed, to glare at the man who had deliberately dyed his hair the same color as hers. Seeing his feigned ignorance and bewildered expression, she gritted her teeth and said:

"Damn it, I promise you, but there won't be a next time!"

Having said that, as if Roy had finally pierced her already thin skin, Monique turned around impatiently and headed towards the door without wanting to linger for even a moment. But just before leaving, she seemed to have a sudden, impromptu question:

"Just asking, where are you planning to go?"

Roy rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "I'm planning to go check on how Little Platinum's work is going later."

Monique's face darkened, and she mumbled in a distorted voice, "...I meant a date..."

The bar was noisy, and Roy didn't hear her clearly. He pressed her for an answer, asking, "What did you say?"

"nothing!"

Monique didn't explain, but glared at him fiercely under the dazzling lights before turning and leaving without a word.

Looking at her back, for some reason, Roy felt that she seemed to be inexplicably angry.

Fortunately, he had long since given up on the idea of ​​a woman and a cat being such an ultimate creature, and put the matter out of his mind. He finished his juice, stood up, packed a portion for Platinum, and prepared to leave.

The Platinum mission isn't difficult, and he's probably almost finished. Once that's done, Roy will unlock a new module; he's been eyeing those combat modules for a long time. Even if he doesn't get a god-tier module like Skadi or Specter, just an ordinary combat module would be incredibly beneficial in improving his current predicament!

Then I'll tell her the good news about the promotion, give her a little surprise, and reward this hardworking office worker for her hard work during this time.

After all, Roy doesn't want to be a worthless boss who only makes empty promises. His dream is to unlock more modules, lead his group of overworked subordinates, and become the strongest overworked king in Kazimierz and even the entire Terra!

To achieve this great dream, we'll need Little Platinum's help in the future; we must properly instill her enthusiasm for work!

Little Platinum, your Uncle Roy is here!

Book 1: Chapter 4 Candlelight, Romance and Hintra

"Why do I keep feeling like I've been scammed again?"

Sitting alone atop the empty building, Hinterlea faced the slightly chilly evening breeze, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. Her exquisitely sculpted brows, as if carved by God, inadvertently revealed a hint of regret and melancholy.

If she didn't have any missions, Hintelia had planned to use the money she'd saved up to go shopping and pick out a few nice dresses. After all, today marked the one-month anniversary of her officially joining the Unarmored Alliance after accepting Roy's invitation. Although, frankly, there wasn't much to commemorate about transitioning from a gladiator knight to a clandestine assassin.

"I really want a drink. Why did I have to agree to work..." Hinterlea sighed. Actually, thinking about it carefully, as a newcomer, her chances of getting promoted were already slim, let alone succeeding Roy, which was a Blue Gold rank. Even climbing to the top in one step wouldn't be this easy!

But for some reason, she just couldn't refuse Roy's request.

Perhaps it was because that night, the blue figure and the bright smile that suddenly appeared in front of her, who was lost and listless, was just too dazzling?

"A warrior as excellent as you shouldn't become a plaything for those capitalists to play with. Would you like to join us, Miss Hintelia?"

"I am Roy, the Azure King of the Unarmored Alliance. The Unarmored Alliance are knight assassins who walk in the darkness to maintain order in this city. Fear not, though we toil in the darkness, we still serve the light. For us, all is vanity, all is permission!"

Which girl doesn't have a little bit of childish longing and fantasy?
