HCB Chapter 21 Monthly Tasks
Chapter 21 Monthly Tasks
“Knock~knock~knock~”
"Miss, Miss, there are several people claiming to be from a security company at the door of the villa, and they have guns."
There was a knock on the master bedroom door, and the housekeeper, Uncle Ma, sounded somewhat panicked outside the door.
It's not that he hasn't seen guns before. When he was a butler for a wealthy man abroad, guns were standard equipment.
But I have never seen a bodyguard holding an AK47.
Especially since this is the country of Da Xia, where gun laws are extremely strict.
"Huh? Oh, okay, I'll change my clothes and come down, you let them in."
Bai Xi was stunned for a moment, then realized belatedly that it must be the bodyguard the system mentioned had arrived. He barely suppressed his excitement. After all, the equity authorization letter would not arrive until tomorrow. He quickly changed into his daily clothes and went downstairs.
There were six people, four men and two women, standing in a row in the living room. The boys were basically all 1.8 meters tall. Although the girls were not that tall, the curves of their muscles could be clearly seen under their tight combat uniforms.
Seeing Bai Xi coming down the stairs, the man who looked like the captain made a gesture, and the six people immediately turned around and bowed to her in unison.
"Hi boss!"
A few black lines appeared on Bai Xi's forehead. What was this feeling of seeing a gangster boss?
"No need to be so polite, just call me Miss like the housekeeper."
"Okay, miss. We would like to strengthen the security of the villa. Please approve it."
The man nodded and spoke decisively.
"Uh, you guys can arrange that, and then you can choose a room in the villa. Any room except the master bedroom is fine."
"Yes! Everyone has one! Each of you can choose a room. Hongxiu, Qingyi, you two will live next to the young lady."
"Yes!"
Following the order from the leading man, the other security personnel quickly dispersed. The two female bodyguards went upstairs and lived next to Bai Xi so that they could provide close protection at any time. The others chose rooms on the first floor of the villa.
Bai Xi wiped his nose as he looked at the living room which had suddenly become empty, then turned around and went back to the dining table to have lunch.
However, she was still a little curious about where this bodyguard team came from, so she searched for the Golden Shield Security Company while eating.
As a result, the message that popped up on the phone screen made her raise her eyebrows.
The Golden Shield Security Company is located in the capital of Daxia Kingdom. It can basically be considered to have a military background. It is mainly engaged in high-end security work. The company has extremely strict requirements on the source quality control of its members. It only recruits recent veterans of the special forces, and conducts assessments and eliminations every six months. The same is true for ordinary members. The Ace Team can be regarded as top-level bodyguards. Even when some big leaders go abroad, their Ace Team will have their own perimeter guards.
Bai Xi looked at his phone, then looked at the bodyguard who had already started installing security equipment.
How can I be so virtuous?
Bai Xi swallowed a mouthful of rice silently. What else could she say? She could only say that anything produced by the system must be a top-notch product. The things produced by the system boss never let her down.
......
After lunch, Bai Xi returned to the bedroom and called out the virtual system panel, ready to start checking the last task selection function of the Great Collector System that he had not seen yet.
【Monthly tasks are being refreshed...】
Monthly Task 1/4: Collect the Four Treasures of the Study—Pen, Ink, Paper, and Inkstone
[Level requirements: Heirloom level]
[Current progress: 0/4]
[Time limit: 30 days]
[Mission Reward: Perfect Manners Development Card, 10 billion RMB]
【Whether to accept? 】
Compared with the previous experience tasks, the monthly tasks facing Bai Xi now have no major changes overall, with only a few minor differences.
First of all, the mission rewards have been clarified, which were previously unknown.
Secondly, she is not forced to accept the tasks, but can freely choose whether to accept them. In this way, if she encounters some difficult tasks, she can choose to give up.
The next one is this 1/4. It seems that the upper limit of the number of tasks in the system is four each month.
However, there seems to be a new reward for this mission. What is this etiquette and manners development card?
As Bai Xi focused her mind, the prop introduction of the development card began to appear before her eyes.
[Perfect Manners Cultivation Card: Helps the host develop perfect manners, including but not limited to daily life etiquette, banquet etiquette, aristocratic etiquette, etc.]
The system didn't give much explanation, but with Bai Xi's current intelligence, he immediately understood how powerful this thing was.
Normally, demeanor is the cultivation of a person's overall temperament, which includes several aspects:
First, the pace. When walking, one should be steady, not hurried or swaying, with the head straight and the back upright. This was also called the square step for men or the palace step for women in ancient times.
The second is the sitting posture, which should be natural, relaxed, generous and steady.
The third is eye training, focusing the eyes and keeping a fixed point of gaze.
The fourth is smile training, which allows you to maintain a good personal posture when laughing heartily or smiling politely.
The fifth is eating etiquette, which requires proper movements and elegant eating. Even if you eat voraciously, it will not affect your personal image at all.
These five aspects are simple to say, but very difficult to put into practice.
Because this requires long-term conscious persistence, slowly forming an instinct, and finally becoming cultured and elegant from the inside out.
This is also a necessary course for top wealthy families to educate their children. Why can others tell at a glance that someone is a fallen princess or young master?
Why do girls who have been dancing since elementary school have good temperament?
Why are timid men called losers?
It's because of the manners.
In the past, Bai Xi had no awareness of this aspect, and his family education did not support him, so he had no manners at all.
But now, a reward from the system can save her more than ten years of etiquette training and directly allow her to develop perfect manners.
This is really...
So cool!
Bai Xi accepted the answer without hesitation. Sisters, remember one thing: no matter when, you will never lose money if you invest in yourself.
