Should I raise you too?

Please raise this intimacy level from 98; being stuck here is so frustrating!

Chapter 50 "Simon's Adventure Log"

A week ago, Miss Elisa would have worried about how to increase her male servant's intimacy level, but now she doesn't need to, because her male servant has something scarce.

She checked the servant's money.

"Cash: 57 pounds 10 shillings 9 pence"

For the past week, the servant has been asking a question worth more than 10 pounds every day, and his savings are being depleted rapidly. If this continues, he will be destitute in another week.

So now all we need to do is give the male servants gold pounds.

Elisa turned to look at her personal maid, Eve. Eve's chest had returned to normal; the binding had stopped, thanks to the male servant's persuasion.

This helped me a lot. Otherwise, every time I saw a maid with a bound chest, I would think of those embarrassing things, and other maids might even imitate her, which would be even more embarrassing.

It can be said that the male servant saved me from dire straits.

However, the water and fire were brought by the male servant!

With her good deeds and bad deeds canceled out, Elisa refrained from causing trouble for the male servant.

Alyssa shifted her gaze from the maid's chest, then pretended to suddenly remember something and asked, "Did I have a budget for buying equipment for Simon?"

Eve's answer was, of course, no.

Elisa tapped her head, feigning annoyance: "Have Ms. Maria give him 15 pounds to buy some self-defense items."

The reason for giving him the money was perfect; it wasn't a reward, but rather to purchase equipment for him.

Needless to say, the male servant will pocket most of it, but it doesn't matter, he will still recharge me and give me intimacy points. Not only will I not have to spend money, but I can also receive high interest.

This feels so much like a loan shark operation run by an island gang? Have I actually become one of those people? Hmm, this doesn't feel so bad.

Eve agreed and went out to inform them. Elisa opened "Simon's Log".

Simon was discussing autumn shopping with Ms. Maria. Maria reminded him that the temperature was getting cooler and it would be damp and rainy, so he should take care of himself and take out his autumn clothes for later use.

Elisa had mixed feelings; this male servant was either slacking off or flirting with women.

The word "flirting" is just a joke, of course. The male servant is actually very gentlemanly and witty. If he were not a servant, he would definitely be very popular with the ladies of high society, although he is already very popular now.

Eve went to the butler's room and relayed Miss Elisa's instructions. Maria left to get the money, and Eve took the opportunity to ask Simon if his autumn clothes fit, saying she could alter them for him.

Simon remarked that Ms. Maria's advice and Eve's thoughtfulness were truly wonderful gifts.

Elisa squinted and leaned back; if this were in the archipelago, she would have booed.

"However, none of these are the best gifts. The best is Miss Elisa's generosity," Simon thought to himself as he accepted the 15 pounds Maria handed him.

"Intimacy +3"

Hmph, money really is the most alluring thing!

By the way, the exchange rate between intimacy level and gold pounds is now 1:5, and it's getting higher and higher!

Even at the end of the last century, during the reign of the Mad King, prices didn't rise as fast as you've ever done!

Elisa comforted herself, thinking that the gold pounds would eventually come back to her anyway.

She looked at the newly unlocked features.

"Intimacy Level: 101"

"Reach 100 intimacy level to unlock additional features: Simon's Adventure Log"

"Simon's Adventure Log: A supplementary feature of Simon's Log. During events, Simon has a chance to trigger explorable areas. Sending Simon to explore these areas will yield generous rewards upon success."

Explorable areas? Send out explorers and reap rewards?

I'm starting to feel more and more like I'm mentoring my subordinates.

However, what's the difference between this and assigning tasks to male servants? I can simply assign tasks to male servants directly.

Elisa read the introduction again and felt that the key point was 'a rich reward will be given upon success'.

In the adventurers' activities, much of the time they are doing useless work and gaining nothing, but in the "Adventure Log", as long as they succeed, they will definitely be rewarded, and the reward will be generous!

However, it's important to note one crucial point: 'after success'. Exploration is always fraught with danger; when using this method, you must constantly keep an eye on your male servant and be ready to provide assistance at any time.

Elisa opened the "Exploration Log" to try out the ability, but the "Explorable Area" was blank, and the servant had not yet triggered the exploration area.

Reluctantly closing the log, Elisa continued to view the main interface. In addition to the "Exploration Log," something new popped up.

"Log feature unlocked, photo feature included."

"Photo feature: During Simon's activities, there is a chance to obtain photos of relevant scenes."

A photograph? A photo?

"Ms. Maria sat by the window, sunlight streaming onto her gold-rimmed glasses and gold pen, exuding an intellectual and warm aura. Simon etched this scene into his mind, creating a photographic memory."

"This triggered it?" Elisa clicked on it with great anticipation.

"Ms. Maria with her bulging chest.jpg"

Elisa turned off the photo, rubbed her forehead, and felt that this feature was actually unnecessary.

"Eve was just as beautiful in her maid outfit; Simon kept that image in his mind."

"A maid with a bulging chest.jpg"

Can this feature be turned off? Elisa's fist hardened.

Who wants to see your photos of women being voyeurized? Can't you take some normal photos instead?

Elisa wearily closed the logbook, returned to her bedroom, and prepared for the afternoon's party.

The gathering was held at Eleanor's mansion, located in the city center. It was not large in area, but in a very advantageous location, with the Parliament building opposite and the Supreme Court next door.

Two blocks away from the Parliament building is the Royal Palace.

Elisa took Eve and Simon to the banquet. When she got off the carriage, she looked at the palace with a deep gaze. She felt a sense of familiarity with the magnificent building and couldn't help but reminisce.

According to the information I found, my father was almost the designated next king at the time. Perhaps because our family frequently visited the palace, he looked somewhat familiar.

Is my greatest enemy the one who now lives in the palace and sits on the throne?

No, we can't be so arbitrary. The teacher said that the situation was very complicated at the time, and even she couldn't see the situation clearly.

But the current king is indeed the prime suspect.

Elisa stopped speculating and shook her head.

I'll take it one step at a time. Anyway, I have plenty of time. It takes a long time to accumulate experience from the fifth rank to demigod.

First, focus on the path ahead and attend Eleanor's little gathering.

Let's take a look at "Simon's Journal" first.

Simon scanned the surrounding streets. This was the political center of the capital. Nobles generally didn't hold gatherings here; there were no courtyards, and it was too crowded. Only urgent political meetings might be held here.

Elisa pondered; Eleanor's party was clearly unrelated to politics. Perhaps it was because the party was small, so a large courtyard wasn't necessary.

"Elisa!" Mabel's voice came from upstairs. Elisa looked up and saw the red-haired girl and the black-haired girl on the balcony facing the street.

Mabel pulled Eleanor away from the balcony and quickly went downstairs, where they met Elisa and the other two.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Simon." Eleanor looked at Simon, her smile carrying its usual arrogance, but also a hint of cunning.

Chapter 51: A picture of a chubby maid.jpg

Looking into Eleanor's eyes, and recalling what his teacher had said about Eleanor also frequenting the Brown Street tavern, Simon thought, "Eleanor already suspects that he was the first attacker."

"However, Simon noticed that Eleanor didn't seem to know she was a superhuman; otherwise, her gaze would have been more equal, changing from the way she looked at the baboon to the way she looked at the golden retriever."

Eleanor was indeed suspicious. Elisa wasn't surprised at all; in fact, she felt that Eleanor hadn't noticed enough, failing to realize that the male servant was a superhuman.

She looked at Eleanor, her dark eyes fixed on her with a half-smile, as if she had also discovered her secret.

Elisa knew this was a bluff. Even with the male servants, Eleanor only had suspicions, let alone with me?

I should appear puzzled.

Elisa blinked, feigning a hint of confusion.

Eleanor indeed stopped her probing.

She turned around, took a card from the maid behind her, and handed it to Simon: "Mr. Simon, this is for you."

Simon looked at Elisa, who nodded, and he took the card and thanked Eleanor.

Elisa sighed inwardly. Although this male servant didn't actually respect me at all, he still gave me face in public.

Even if the male servant accepts Eleanor's gift without asking my opinion, I won't say anything.

...This reminds me so much of those henpecked husbands from the archipelago. Outside, the wife is obedient and gentle like a cat, but at home, she glares angrily and pulls her husband's ear.

Am I playing the role of an incompetent husband?

Not daring to glare at the male servant, Elisa glared fiercely at the light screen.

Staring at the male servant might get noticed by him, and then your intimacy level will drop... That makes you seem more like an incompetent husband!
