The Delicate Beauty Grabbed the Cannon Fodder Villain’s Script [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 36
Jian Tao listened to 250 broadcast the data results in a void. Every one of his statistics had reached a perfect score; therefore, the rewards he received were the highest possible.
In this darkness, he saw himself lying on a hospital bed. His body was covered in various tubes, looking completely devoid of life.
250 announced, “Acquired 18% health points.”
“Tao Tao, you are amazing! Very few people can obtain such high rewards. Your performance as a cannon fodder villain was excellent. Furthermore, according to the system, the cannon fodder villain won in that world; he achieved his goal.”
“Wow, I am actually that capable!” Jian Tao said in surprise. “I completed 18% in just the first world. I feel like I will be able to go home very soon.”
“Yes! Keep it up, Tao Tao!” 250 cheered, then immediately asked, “Tao Tao, shall we enter the new world now?”
“Yes, let us enter,” Jian Tao said firmly.
“New world importing…”
“Acquired Infinite World. Character setting: A stupid Shamat player with poor professional skills. A toxic solo fan of the ‘Main Receiver.’ On the surface, he looks like a normal person, but he is obsessed, brainless, and fanatical toward the Main Receiver.”
“In this world, you possess a healthy body, but your IQ and EQ are reduced by 30%.”
Jian Tao was speechless. “Am I not worthy of being a normal person?”
Jian Tao opened his eyes. He was in a hotel lobby. A handsome man in a suit was currently holding a meeting for them.
“After these days of training, your professional skills should be very proficient. Therefore, you will officially be put to work today.”
Jian Tao saw the name tag on the man’s right chest; it said “Manager.” After explaining many hotel regulations, the manager led them toward the bar counter. He stood still and took a work schedule out of a drawer. He looked down at it, then said to one of the people, “Gu Huaian, you go to the guest rooms. Little Zhang is resting this afternoon, so you will replace him.”
Jian Tao followed the manager’s gaze and saw a young man with a fair, cold face and an expression full of indifference. Gu Huaian—this was the “Main Receiver.” He was the top-ranked player in the Infinite World, a “High Mountain Flower” who was ruthless and spoke very little.
Next, the manager looked at another person. “Zhou Jin, you go to the second-floor restaurant to help. There are many guests dining today.”
Jian Tao looked over and saw a young man with wheat-colored skin and deep features. There was a trace of a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were bright and spirited. This was the “Main Attacker,” a dark horse who had just arrived in the Infinite World. He looked sunny on the outside, but in reality, he was a dissolute and unrestrained “Black Lotus” villain.
Having seen the Main Attacker and Receiver, Jian Tao stopped paying attention to the others. Everyone was assigned their jobs. Finally, the manager landed his gaze on Jian Tao and frowned. “Fix that hair of yours. You must pay attention to your appearance.”
The sudden change in rhetoric when it came to him made Jian Tao’s reaction half a beat slow. “Oh… okay.”
“You go to the back kitchen to deliver dishes,” the manager said disdainfully.
Being disliked made Jian Tao feel aggrieved for a moment. His fingers twisted together, and he heard laughter from behind him.
He looked back. There were five players in total, all of whom were present. Among them, Zhao Jingyu and Li Liqun were laughing the hardest.
Jian Tao glared at them and then looked back at the manager. He saw the manager’s expression become very solemn. “The mountains are currently blocked by heavy snow. People outside cannot come in, and we cannot go out. Furthermore, you did not know this while in the training building, but a murderer has appeared in the hotel. He specifically targets people who are alone, raping them first and then killing them. His methods are extremely cruel and arrogant.”
As he spoke, he took several photos out of the drawer and scattered them on the bar counter. His face carried the mischievous smile of someone scaring newcomers. “Look at how perverted this murderer is. These photos were all taken by him after he tortured the victims to death. He even scattered them across an entire corridor.”
Jian Tao caught a glimpse of the photos on the counter. He took a step back in fright, and his face turned several shades paler.
“Tsk, you are scared,” Li Liqun whispered mockingly into his ear from behind.
“I am not…” Jian Tao said, lacking any conviction.
At this time, the manager spoke again. “As employees, another one of our duties is to protect the guests here and catch the murderer as quickly as possible to prevent more people from being victimized. Do you understand?”
“Understood,” everyone responded.
As the crowd was about to disperse, they were called back by the manager. “Remember, our service tenet is: The customer is God. Satisfy any demand the customer makes!”
“Received,” everyone replied reflexively.
“If a customer complains…” A sinister, cold smile appeared on the manager’s face. “You will have a lot to suffer.”
Jian Tao felt his hair stand on end. He had been timid since childhood and did not even dare to watch horror movies alone. Now that he was in an Infinite World filled with horror and the unknown, he felt an instinctive fear.
After the group dispersed, everyone returned to their posts. Jian Tao’s workplace was the back kitchen. While passing the restroom, he decided to go in and wash his face to calm down.
However, as soon as he stood before the sink, he startled himself. Who was this person in the mirror with the “explosion” hair?
Golden exploding hair, heavy foundation, thick black eyeliner, and a cross earring…
This… this was way too Shamat. He felt he was scarier than a ghost.
No wonder the manager said his appearance was poor and others mocked him. “System, do I really have to look like this?”
“This is your current character setting. It makes people dislike you at first sight,” 250 said.
“Oh, alright…” Jian Tao had no choice but to agree. He reached up and pressed down on his hair to make it look slightly more normal.
He then went to the back kitchen. Actually, this job was relatively free. The front desk had too many requirements, but in the back kitchen, no one was watching, which was more relaxing.
Suddenly, someone shouted, “Dishes are ready! You there, yes, you. Go deliver the food.”
Jian Tao was stunned, then saw the fierce-looking head chef pointing at him. “Oh… coming.”
Jian Tao took the food and lifted the tray with his right hand. It was as if he really had undergone training; he instinctively knew exactly what to do.
While going upstairs, Jian Tao finally reacted. “404… this room number looks very unlucky.”
“System, will there be non-humans in this world?”
“There are some, but not many,” 250 answered.
Jian Tao’s eyes instantly turned red. He looked pitiful and ready to cry. “I hope I do not run into any…”
While he was speaking, he arrived at the door of 404. Jian Tao knocked. “Hello, sir. Your meal has arrived.”
There was a rustling sound inside, and then the door was opened. Jian Tao looked at the person in front of him and immediately felt relieved. He looked like a normal human and was very good-looking. He had somewhat feminine features, but he was not effeminate; he simply looked gentle and refined. His shoulder-length hair softened the sharp contours of his face.
The other person gave a gentle smile and stepped aside from the doorway. “Come in. Just put the meal on the table.”
“Alright.” Jian Tao walked inside. As soon as he entered, he felt something strange. His room was very large, the kind with a living room and a bedroom.
However, the shelves in the living room were currently filled with rows upon rows of puppets. Looking at them unexpectedly was exceptionally chilling.
The other person seemed to see Jian Tao’s fear and explained with a smile, “Sorry, did I scare you? My profession is a puppeteer.”
Seeing the other person’s smiling face, the fear in Jian Tao’s heart immediately eased. At the same time, he felt a bit embarrassed. “I am just making a fuss over nothing.”
Jian Tao’s face was a bit flushed, but most of it was covered by the heavy foundation. One could only see a hint of pink in his ears.
He placed the dishes on the table. “Sir, if you have nothing else, I will head out.”
“Wait…”
Jian Tao looked at him. He saw that the man’s gentle face seemed somewhat embarrassed. “It is like this: I need a model. I feel that you are quite suitable. I wonder if you could do me this favor?”
“A model?” Jian Tao was somewhat confused. How could someone with his “prestigious” appearance be chosen? He even began to doubt this good-looking guest. “Can I really do it?”
By now, the guest had walked up to him. He raised a hand and flicked Jian Tao’s name tag with his fingertip. His fingers were very beautiful—long and slender, with a jade-like transparency under the sunlight. “You can do it, Mr. Jian Tao.”
“Oh…” Jian Tao was in a difficult position. He did not yet know the situation with his job, so he did not dare to waste time. However, he suddenly remembered the manager’s warning.
Satisfy all the customer’s needs!
These words were like a warning bell ringing in his head. He remembered the manager saying sinisterly, “Otherwise, you will have a lot to suffer.”
Jian Tao bit his lip. His cherry-pink lips were bitten until they turned white; when released, they bounced back like jelly. “Alright…”
“Thank you very much. Can I call you Xiao Tao? My name is Zhuang Sheng. You can call me Mr. Zhuang,” Zhuang Sheng said.
Jian Tao nodded reflexively. Of course he could. According to the hotel’s tenet, the customer is God. “Mr. Zhuang.”
Zhuang Sheng led him to the dressing table and pulled out a chair for him to sit. He placed both hands on Jian Tao’s shoulders, then lowered his head and said gently, “Xiao Tao, shall I tie your hair up first?”
“Yes,” Jian Tao replied. Zhuang Sheng’s hair was a bit itchy as it fell against his face, so he brushed it aside.
Immediately, he saw Zhuang Sheng’s expression freeze for a split second. It was gone in an instant, and Jian Tao felt he must have misseen it.
At this time, Zhuang Sheng was patiently combing his hair, exposing his entire face, and then securing it. “Next, I am going to apply the paint. Close your eyes.”
Jian Tao was very obedient. After closing his eyes, wide eyeliner marks could be seen on his eyelids.
At that moment, Zhuang Sheng looked at the flesh-colored sol on the dressing table. He put on gloves and scooped out a lump, then calmly rubbed it out and applied it evenly over Jian Tao’s eyes.
In that instant, Jian Tao felt complete darkness. Not a single bit of light could get through. This made him very nervous; he broke into a sweat and felt a bit of stinging on his eyes.
Originally, Zhuang Sheng had scooped out another lump of sol and was planning to apply it to his nose when he suddenly smelled a peculiar fragrance.
He had actually smelled it when Jian Tao first entered and thought it was the scent of perfume, but now it was even more obvious. It even had a tendency to make one feel intoxicated.
His nose leaned close to Jian Tao’s face and sniffed softly, but he smelled a scent of low-quality cosmetics. He then pulled out a wet wipe and removed the makeup from Jian Tao’s face.
Jian Tao’s original appearance gradually revealed itself, and Zhuang Sheng’s breathing became lighter and lighter.
At this moment, Jian Tao’s cherry-pink, fleshy lips opened as he complained softly, “Mr. Zhuang, my eyes hurt a bit…”
Jian Tao felt the stinging on his eyes more and more clearly. He began to struggle to get the substance off his eyes, even sounding a bit tearful. “It really hurts…”
Zhuang Sheng immediately grabbed his hands. “Do not move. Let me do it.”
Zhuang Sheng almost held his breath as he removed the nearly solidified sol from Jian Tao’s face. The makeup was all stuck to the sol, and the skin on Jian Tao’s eyes was red.
The moment it was removed, his tears fell. “I am not doing this anymore. My eyes hurt so much…”
Zhuang Sheng felt his spine go numb for a moment. A feeling of electricity spread through his body, and his blood began to boil. He took off his gloves and wiped the tears from Jian Tao’s face, then coaxed him, “I will not use this anymore. Shall I redo your makeup for you?”
Jian Tao was still crying, and his stomach growled. He lifted his eyes to look at the man in front of him. His eyelashes were stuck to his face in clumps. “Then… can you let me eat a bit of your food?”
Zhuang Sheng smiled. “Of course you can.”
Only then did Jian Tao nod. “Then you can paint.”
It turned out Zhuang Sheng was not just a puppeteer but also an artist. He was skilled at painting on the human body. When the human body displayed those complex and beautiful patterns and was then recorded by a camera, it could be called a work of art.
Zhuang Sheng first used a brush to redo the makeup on Jian Tao’s face, deliberately avoiding the eye area, which was still a bit red.
After finishing the makeup, he said, “Now, Xiao Tao, can you unbutton your clothes?”
Jian Tao bit his lip and then looked up to confirm once more. “You are only painting the upper half of my body, right?”
Zhuang Sheng’s smiling eyes curved. “Yes.”
“Alright then…” Jian Tao suppressed the nervousness in his heart. He thought to himself that this was all for the sake of art.
He first took off the black vest, then unbuttoned the white shirt inside. Finally, he let the shirt slide down to his waist. When his skin came into contact with the air and was under someone else’s gaze, his skin turned pink due to shame. “Is this okay, Mr. Zhuang?”
Zhuang Sheng’s Adam’s apple bobbed for a moment. “It is perfect.”
