"My apologies, I have been quite rude and unprofessional as not to serve you properly, Master. Please wait while I prepare your dinner right away!" In an instant, Song stood up with his back straight as a bamboo as he bowed to Ling Yu and disappeared into the kitchen to make food.
"???"
Ling Yu was confused by his change of actions. It seemed to be faster than flipping a coin!
Having nothing to do in hand, Ling Yu leaned back into her seat, leisurely going through her skills and their uses.
As ridiculous as it may seem, most of Ling Yu's skills were made S class or even above from the start. But Ling Yu never came to understand why the system did such a thing… to laugh at her for being a weakling despite having such high class skills?
But Ling Yu didn't really care as long as she can use them and live for one more day, even one second, it's enough.
[Stealth (S)]
[Can be used for sneak attacks and transforming. Disguise is always the best for sneaking in!]
Ling Yu was stupefied after reading the description.
Why do I need to sneak in someone else's place?
Is this system suspecting me of stealing?
Well, who knows if it will come in handy someday in the future? Just ignore it for now.
As Ling Yu was going through her skills, suddenly her eyes stuck into a certain sentence.
[Appraisal (SS)]
[Can be used to appraise any living or non- living existence. As long as they have an essence. You can identify their nature, power and hidden skills!]
'It's saying that I can appraise a living being?'
'Does it mean I can look into other people's skills?'
The gate still hasn't shown up, and people's skills are yet to be awakened. If so, can I still see through them?
If Ling Yu thought this in a positive way, then it's actually quite a useful skill. Because with this skill, she can easily identify her enemies or allies.
Besides that, if she were to use this skill in other ways…
'Oh! If I can see through other people's potential, then can't I recruit high class hunters and train them to do my biddings?'
This is wonderful! Why didn't I think of that before?
Ling Yu was excited as she looked around, but the next moment, reality hit her hard on the back of her head.
'Ah, I almost forgot that I'm staying in a desert with no people around. I need to save my excitement for now.' Ling Yu felt disheartened as she dropped her head down. Leaning back on the sofa, she kept scrolling her system with disinterest, taking it as something to kill her time.
"Master, dinner is ready. Please freshen up and take your seat." Butler Song's high pitched voice came from the kitchen, and Ling Yu finally stood up, dragging her feets to the dining hall.
She thought the dinner wouldn't be that good, considering how deserted this place was. Even if he gave her some cold and bland soup without any vegetables, she would still be grateful to him for providing her with some food.
However, the moment Ling Yu went near the dining hall, the sweet aroma of fresh food lingering in the air surprised her.
Butler Song was standing beside the chair supposedly prepared for her, and there were quite a variety of dishes prepared on the table, giving off warmth.
"Song, did you prepare all of this, just now?" Ling Yu almost dropped her jaw on the floor as she stared at Butler Song. Despite how young he is, he is actually quite a competent butler!

'What the hell?!'
'Did I just hit a jackpot?'
Ling Yu was in a daze in awe of Butler Song's skill that she didn't sense him approach her closely as he answered her.
"There is no one else living aside from me in this manor, Master." Butler Song gave a readymade electronic response.
"I didn't mean in that way, don't misunderstand!" Ling Yu quickly waved both her hand, shaking her head to let him know that she didn't doubt his skills.
"It's just… so amazing! Right, Song, do you want to accomplish great things in the future? Let me know and see, I'll make you become best of the best!" Ling Yu boasted her power to the guy in front of her as she smiled broadly.
If she could utilize his powers and skills, she could get a free powerhouse!
Butler Song stared at Ling Yu for a long time before the corner of his mouth rose upwards, then with a loud thud, he knelt before her which made Ling Yu startled.
'W-what the hell is this?! Why is he kneeling all of a sudden? Don't tell me it's another misunderstanding?!'
Ling Yu almost freaked out as she saw the guy all serious, staring at her, as he said, "Being able to serve the Master is already more than enough, I just want to be a competent butler for my Master." He bowed his head down without reservation as he pleaded, "Please, let me serve you wholeheartedly, Master."
"Fine, fine. Do as you please, I won't care. But don't scare me like this by kneeling on the ground out of nowhere, okay? You almost made me faint out of fright you know?" Ling Yu quickly helped the guy stand up by holding him in both arms.
"Afraid? Then I should be punished…" Butler Song started when Ling Yu interrupted him vehemently. She already had enough in her plate with that despicable royal family, she didn't need to add more!
"No! Not at all! Stop it altogether! I didn't come here to make others suffer!" Ling Yu didn't had any intention to torture people for fun, unlike her 'dear' angel- like sister, who tortured her in secret just because it was fun.
