In the seventh option, although the border bases' butler quota wasn't the best, it was quite a bit more than that of the second-tier bases, and the numerical ratio was considered reasonable.
At least compared to the trend of increasing or decreasing the number of butler slots in the border bases in previous years, this result had changed a lot.
"It was probably chosen by the student representatives."
Since it was an anonymous vote, Councilmember Weir was only guessing that the two students were the most likely ones to pick this option besides them.
They didn't realize that Ya Xiao, the butler, didn't do a useless job.
In fact, their guess was not wrong.
Zhao Qing and Erde had gone back yesterday and kept convincing their companions on the committee, finally reaching an agreement with most of them.
Although the current scenario didn't have the most number of butler slots for the border bases, it was quite a bit more than that of the second-tier bases and the central city.
It was the kind of scenario that they felt was the most suitable.
Once the scenario was finalized, the two student representatives couldn't help but look over at Ya Xiao and were relieved to see the dark-haired young man smile at them.
It was just that even they didn't know why they were relieved, maybe it was because Ya Xiao was too nice to them.
Meanwhile, Ya Xiao was quite satisfied with the current result. He happily told the system about it.
[Congratulations to the host.]
The system saw the final result and felt that the host could now be relieved of duty, so it nodded in satisfaction, shaking its data fan.
The meeting gradually came to an end.
Ya Xiao was in a very good mood, not just because of the final result of the meeting.
It was also because after the entire meeting was over, he would be able to keep following the villain around and absorb demon value!
Absorbing demon value all the time! All the time!
Thinking about this, Ya Xiao's blue eyes curved up unconsciously.
Realizing that it had been a long time since Ya Xiao had been able to absorb demon value whenever and wherever he wanted, what a great hindrance it had been to his growth into a great demon.
Now, he could finally take a firm step towards being a big demon once again!
Ya Xiao leaned back in his chair with a sense of contentment. He noticed Ariel, who was slightly silent next to him. The other party seemed to be losing her mind because of the reduction in the number of second-tier base butler slots.
But Ya Xiao knew that she should still be affected by the organization more than anything else.
"Ya Xiao, congratulations."
Ariel noticed Ya Xiao's line of sight. She was no longer lost in thought as if she had recovered her spirit from the blow of the voting result. The corner of her mouth hooked into a warm smile, and her attitude seemed a bit detached.
We're sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we're going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
There were too many things going on in the organization today. Ariel did not have the idea of approaching Ya Xiao to pry for information for the time being so that she would not really be targeted by Qin Qi.

After the meeting was over, he chatted with the two student representatives and the three council members for a while and then left the council hall.
The hovercar started at a rapid pace.
Emily sat in the driver's seat and sped along.
Ya Xiao, on the other hand, was mulling over his future plans.
[Since Sheldor and Qin Qi have reached a cooperation, I won't go to the club anymore after this.]
Peaceful organizations are boring.
[Okay.]
The system was very supportive of the host's decision, [Then, the host is going to focus on following the villain and absorbing demon value next?]
[Right.]
Ya Xiao loved the powerful villain. Even if he stayed by the villain's side all the time, he wouldn't find it boring, not to mention that he could also absorb demon values!
In his excitement, he gazed over to Emily's back in the driver's seat and pondered slightly.
After the butler meeting was over, the spring meeting that the marshals were involved in was about to enter its next phase as they were to travel to the military academy together.
Within the plot of the military school, the protagonist group had witnessed the sacrifice of many, many people.
This also included Emily.
If he was right, Ya Xiao thought that the incident should have something to do with "that lord".
On the other hand, Mist was reporting to the marshal about the information he had found out about the mysterious person:
"Ya Bu, male, twenty-five years old, a survivor of the Seventh Base, currently residing in the central city, working as a freelancer."
Mist raised his gold-framed glasses, his eyes somewhat complicated, "According to the optical brain number given by the marshal, I conducted some searches. The registration time of the other party's optical brain number was indeed twenty-five years ago, without any problems."
The optical brain number could not be replaced and could not be transferred.
This meant that there was no problem with the other party's identity.
Of course, there was also the possibility that Ya Bu was an extremely powerful hacking god who was able to hack into the central city's population data database, except that this was extremely unlikely.
Mist was more inclined to think that there was no problem with this identity, but the bigger question came.
Why was this person with an ordinary profile, who had never been to war or endured special education, so incredibly powerful?
"Ya Bu had been in the Sixth Base, killed an assassin, and tackled the underground organization of the remnants of the Seventh Base in the Fifth Base, but there's no record of him appearing in the Sixth Base or the Fifth Base on the positioning system."
Qin Qi's gaze crossed over the words Seventh Base survivor, his eyes slightly deepened as if he had thought of something long ago. Half a moment later, Qin Qi closed the youth's information.
"There is no need to check anymore. The other side is even more unfathomable than we thought, there is no result in checking."
He shouldn't be an existence from that side.
After all, Ya Bu should be much more powerful than those existences, and there was absolutely no need for a disguise.
"Yes."
Mist immediately answered, then thought of something and continued, "Marshal, you explained last night that I would have someone protect Sheldor and Ariel. I've already arranged for that, and it definitely won't be discovered."
Qin Qi gave a hmm, his tone light, seemingly not intending to linger on this matter much, but instead said, "How are the arrangements over at the military academy?"
"It's already largely arranged."
Mist said and gave an exact date, "The military academy side said that the seven marshals will be able to enter the school in three days."
This year, the military academy's intensive training was a few days earlier than usual, which was proposed by the marshals at the joint meeting.
The earlier the training set, the faster the military academy students would have to go to battle.
Mist could vaguely see the omens of a storm coming from this move. Not knowing what might happen in the future, he could only force down the uneasiness in his heart.
Qin Qi had no intention of explaining.
He opened the file on his desktop as calm and collected as usual.
When Mist saw the marshal's performance, the stone in his heart finally dropped. As long as the marshal was still there, there would definitely not be any accidents in their Sixth Base.
This was the common thought of all the soldiers and civilians of the Sixth Base. Qin Qi who emphasized rules and laws was the centering point and guardian god of their entire base.
By the time Ya Xiao came back, the marshal's work was already over. Mist greeted Ya Xiao and left the office.
Only Ya Xiao and Qin Qi were left in the office.
"Marshal, the results of the meeting have come out."
Seeing Qin Qi stop his pen to prepare for a break, Ya Xiao skillfully added a cup of coffee for him, and with a smile in his voice, he talked about the butler quota at the border base.
Qin Qi could tell that the butler was in a good mood from the moment he came in. Thinking that the result shouldn't be too bad, he didn't feel surprised when he heard that.
"Hm, got it."
Qin Qi calmly replied, habitually trying to pick up the eyeball that was placed on the desktop.
Before he could make a move, Ya Xiao next to him sensed something and took the lead in shoving something similar in shape to the eyeball into Qin Qi's hand.
What is it?
Qin Qi's eyes looked at the black eyeball in his palm, which was more detailed and more like a human eyeball than the previous red eyeball.
A new stress-relieving toy.
Qin Qi's eyes fell on Ya Xiao's face.
The black-haired young man's expression was expectant, and his clear blue eyes were pure and dazzling as if they were hinting at something.
Qin Qi was silent for a moment and raised his hand.
Ya Xiao was instantly happy, content to feel the villain's warm palm attached to the top of his head.
The soft tips of his hair tangled around his fingertips.
Qin Qi looked at the simple young man who was happy just because he was rubbing his head, and somewhere in his heart, he softened.
The anxious time seemed to slow down at this moment. The sun was setting in the west, and the dim yellow sunlight fell on the ground through the window, revealing a few points of warmth.
Inside the basement.
Sheng Cheng shrank in a dark corner. He nervously bit his fingers, his brain was in severe pain as if it had been broken and reorganized.
The white gauze wrapped around his brain, appearing as if his entire person was somewhat weak.
Since the last time it was destroyed, the basement has also been re-installed with cameras. Sheng Cheng looked at the no less than five surveillance cameras, the corner of his mouth hooked into a sarcastic and contemptuous smile.
Even if there were so many surveillance cameras, so what?
Were they not all discovered by him? As long as that lord came over, he would still destroy these surveillance cameras without fail.
Just as he was thinking, Sheng Cheng suddenly heard that lord's magnetic voice ringing in his head.
[I know all about what happened to you, Sheng Cheng.]
The magnetic male voice said compassionately.
Sheng Cheng shivered and his eyes reddened as he hid his agitated expression and destroyed those cameras without hesitation, then spoke out respectfully, "My lord."
[I'll get you out of there, Sheng Cheng.]
The man smiled lightly as he calmed his fragile subordinate, then said meaningfully, [The marshals will be heading to the military academy soon, and I need you to do one thing.]
"Your Excellency's order, I will fulfill it even if I die!"
Sheng Cheng suppressed his inner emotion and swore to his lord as if he were a faithful believer, worshipping and frantic.
