After the beating was over, the eunuchs in the dining room went to do their own work. Xia Jian was the only one left. He slowly got up from the ground and picked up the vegetable leaves that were scattered on the ground and put them back into the wooden basin.
Although his body was in pain, Xia Jian did not care about it.
When he was being beaten up, he heard a voice in his mind, and he was sure that it was not an illusion.
Gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, Xia Jian dragged his tired body to finish the day's work.
As he was new, Xia Jian had to be the last to leave the dining room. He also had to clean the dining room.
If he didn't clean up or didn't clean up properly, then what awaited him the next day would definitely be a beating.
Xia Jian was cleaning up as he recalled the voice in his mind.
For some reason, Xia Jian said this out of the blue.
"Open the newbie gift bag!"
"Ding dong! Congratulations to the host for successfully opening the Newbie Gift Pack.”
After the system's voice sounded, Xia Jian noticed a strange expression.
His eyes could see a screen of light that others could not see. On it was a list of the treasures he had obtained.
"Congratulations, host. You have obtained a Heavenly Spirit Pill. After using it, all attributes will increase by three points.”
"Congratulations, host. Obtaining the skill is a piece of cake. The success rate will be determined by the difference in physical fitness between the host and the opponent.”
"Congratulations, host. You have received a hundred taels of silver.”
A hundred taels of snowflake silver and a small jade bottle suddenly appeared under Xia Jian's feet.
Money? It was still a hundred taels of silver. Xia Jian quickly put the hundred taels in his pocket. Then, he picked up the small jade bottle and opened the cork. A medicinal fragrance spread out from within.
"Is this the Heavenly Spirit Pill? Is it poisonous?" Xia Jian poured out the pill from the jade bottle and carefully examined it.
To eat or not to eat, this was a question worth considering.
"Forget it. I have a cheap life now. What's there to be afraid of?”When Xia Jian thought of his current situation, there was nothing to be afraid of. He directly opened his mouth and swallowed it.
As soon as the Heavenly Spirit Pill entered his stomach, it instantly turned into a warm current that spread throughout his limbs and bones.
"Ding dong! Congratulations, all attributes have increased by 3 points.”
" Attributes: Agility 8, Strength 8; Speed: 6."
Xia Jian also discovered that the Heavenly Spirit Pill not only increased his attributes, but it also healed the injuries on his body.
Although all his attributes had only increased by three points, his body's strength and flexibility had all been greatly improved.
For example, a normal person's Strength was 5, while Xia Jian's Strength attribute was 8. In other words, Xia Jian's current Strength was 1.6 times that of a normal person.
Clenching his fists tightly, Xia Jian felt the power contained in his body. He finally had some confidence.
First of all, he wanted to take revenge. He wanted to beat up the eunuchs who had beaten him today.
He touched the hundred taels of snowflake silver in his pocket. He would rely on them to take revenge.
Glancing at the dining room, Xia Jian's lips curled into a smile."You hit me and even made me clean the dining room. Fine, I'll let you punish me, I'll let you punish me.”
Xia Jian kicked the things in the dining room to the ground. The haze of being bullied by those damn eunuchs over the past few days had been swept away a little.
Xia Jian let out a deep breath as he walked out of the dining room.
"This morbid pleasure is too comfortable. From now on, only I bully others and no one bullies me!”
With this Supervisor System, Xia Jian suddenly had nothing to fear. In fact, his ambition suddenly exploded.
After working in this dining room for a few days, he knew that these eunuchs generally followed five people, so there were five small groups in the dining room.
These five people were Jing Feiwen, Yi Gaozhuo, Fang Ziming, Mei Yuanlong, and Li Wenhua.
Every time a new member was added to the dining room, Eunuch Hai would hand the new member over to these five people to discipline.
Among them, Li Wenhua was the one who disciplined him. Today, they were the ones who bullied and beat him.
The ancients liked to rank people according to seniority, and even the eunuchs in the dining room were no exception.
Among the five, Jing Feiwen was the most senior and the eunuchs he brought were also the most experienced. Li Wenhua was the youngest and most of the eunuchs he brought were newcomers.
Therefore, Li Wenhua's team did all the dirty work in the dining room every day.
Fighting in the palace could not be done by force alone. One had to have a backer to live comfortably.
Hence, Xia Jian went to look for Jing Feiwen, who was the most experienced among the five.
Just as Xia Jian had expected, Jing Feiwen did not even bother with him.
However, when he took out the 50 taels of Snowflake Silver, Jing Feiwen's attitude took a 180-degree turn. He hugged Xia Jian's shoulder and called him brother.
"Eunuch Xia, it's not that I don't trust you, but is your fifty taels of silver clean?”
Ordinary eunuchs in the dining room were paid one tael of silver a month. Fifty taels of silver was five years of savings.
Those who were willing to be eunuchs were definitely from poor families. With money, who would be willing to do such a job that lacked dignity?
Xia Jian took out fifty taels of Snowflake Silver at once, which made Jing Feiwen somewhat suspicious.
"Eunuch Jing, feel free to accept it. I guarantee that this silver is clean. If anything happens, I'll bear the responsibility. But then again, I might have some trouble tomorrow. Please forgive me.”
Jing Feiwen naturally knew that newcomers would be bullied by the elderly. This was also an unspoken rule of the eunuchs in the palace. Which one of them didn't endure this?
However, Jing Feiwen wouldn't go against money no matter who he was against. So what if it was the rules? This wasn't a rule that could be changed with money.
"Alright, alright. I dare say that no one will dare to find trouble with you tomorrow!”Jing Feiwen patted Xia Jian's shoulder and said.
The inner cook was the dining room. Everyone had a different name, but there were more people called the inner cook than the dining room.
There were even some people who called the dining room the imperial kitchen in private, but it was very rare. It would only be officially named the imperial kitchen after the Qing Dynasty.
"Alright, thank you, Eunuch Jing.”
Xia Jian cupped his fists and left. Apart from Jing Feiwen, he also went to see Yi Gaozhuo, Fang Ziming, and Mei Yuanlong, and gave each of them ten taels of silver.
The eunuchs in charge of the imperial kitchen could earn about two taels of income every month.
Ten taels of silver was five months of income!
Xia Jian gave them ten taels of silver in one go, which made them happy.
Before he left, Xia Jian still called the three brothers, hoping that they could take care of him in the future.
After returning to his residence, he only had 20 taels of silver left from the 100 taels of silver he had spent. However, he did not feel any heartache.
He knew that he would not be able to catch the wolf if he did not give up the child.
