There were quite a few regrettable aspects in this transmigrator's memories.
Many important things that existed in these memories were merely known to the transmigrator, without any knowledge of how to create them.
For instance, according to the original owner's understanding, things like the "transmigrator's essential" soap formula, and the steam engine that could break through the shackles of current civilization...
However, this was fine too. Laine could peacefully enjoy his retirement life without having to bear any heavy destiny.
Arriving at the kitchen, although it wasn't as "modern" as the one in the transmigrator's memories, it was sufficient for cooking.
Many seasonings needed in those memories could easily be found substitutes for.
Well, although he didn't know the exact taste, finding alternatives based on the described flavors would be close enough.
Taking the ingredients just bought by Daili, Laine rolled up his sleeves and started cooking personally, planning to make a simple home-cooked dish.
The flavoring needed to be somewhat mild, as people here couldn't handle too strong tastes.
As soon as the ingredients hit the pan, Daili's brows slightly furrowed - she could tell at a glance that Laine's cooking movements weren't very skilled.
But as the aroma of the ingredients spread, Daili's brows relaxed.
Indeed, since Sir Laine had been a knight for ten years, it was normal for some skills to become rusty.
"It smells so good!"
Daisy poked her head out, somehow already holding a fork reaching toward the pan: "Let me taste it!"
Laine knocked Daisy's head lightly with his knuckle: "This is for the young lady, ours will be in the next batch."
"Hehehe..."
Daisy covered her head, giggling.
What a silly girl...
After silently commenting to himself, Laine continued watching the food in the pan.
Moments later, seeing the dish was ready, Laine took the plate Daili handed him, served the food, and brought it to the dining table. He poured a glass of hot milk, then went to knock on Nanaly's door.
Today, Nanaly had kept herself confined in her room all day, who knows what she was doing.
"Young lady, it's time for dinner."
The door slowly opened, and Nanaly first looked up at Laine with her azure eyes, then lowered her gaze and silently walked towards the dining table without saying a word.
Although Nanaly didn't speak, Laine took this as her tacit acceptance of his position as her private butler.
Following behind Nanaly, once she sat down, Laine helped her put on her napkin and handed her the knife and fork.
To be honest, this whole process made Laine appear somewhat clumsy, causing the two maids watching from the side to barely suppress their amusement.
What's this...?
Seeing the dish on the table, Nanaly paused for a moment, then looked at Laine.
Nanaly was quite clever, immediately realizing this wasn't Daili's cooking.
After all, Nanaly's usual meals were very simple, but this dish in comparison... was somewhat too complex.
And it wasn't very aesthetically pleasing.
Laine smiled and explained: "This is a mysterious dish I learned from other lands, I hope it suits your taste."
Meanwhile, Laine was thinking to himself whether he should find time to carve some chopsticks.
After all, there were many cuisines in his memories, and using knife and fork would be too troublesome for some of them.
Nanaly nodded, picked up her knife and fork, and looked at the rather ordinary-looking dish with hesitation.
Would this new butler try to poison me?
Regarding Laine, Nanaly had actually learned some information before his arrival.
Old Lamb's adopted son, who had been a knight for ten years, though what happened during those ten years, nobody knew.
And on the day of Lamb's passing, Laine happened to return here, which inevitably raised some suspicions.
The aroma of the dish wafted through the air, making Nanaly unconsciously sniff.
The smell... seems quite good?
After hesitating, Nanaly tried a small bite of Laine's dish.
The next moment, Nanaly's petite body noticeably stiffened.
An unprecedented flavor bloomed on her taste buds - umami, saltiness, sweetness, various ingredients and seasonings blended perfectly, without any hint of greasiness.
Delicious!
Daili and Daisy also visibly stiffened for a moment.
But soon, Nanaly relaxed and continued eating the dish in small bites.
However, compared to before, Nanaly's eating speed had clearly increased.
Still a child after all...
Laine stood behind Nanaly with a gentle smile.
Daisy watched Nanaly eat while unconsciously swallowing her saliva.
The sound was quite loud; if Nanaly wasn't deaf, she would definitely have heard it.
Daili covered her face with her hand, feeling embarrassed for her sister.
Soon, the plate was cleaned by Nanaly.
Watching Nanaly put down her utensils and start wiping her mouth, Laine smiled and asked, "How was the taste?"
"...It was okay."
Nanaly avoided eye contact with Laine and spoke softly, her tone now carrying some emotion.
From this perspective, Laine found Nanaly quite adorable.
Difficult personality... honestly, Laine hadn't seen any signs of Nanaly being difficult at all.
If talking about difficult personalities, the previous Laine was far more difficult than Nanaly.
After dinner, having escorted Nanaly back to her room, Laine returned to the dining table to find that Daili had already taken the dishes to wash.
Daisy pounced and grabbed Laine's arm: "Sir Laine, I'm hungry!"
Laine shook his arm but couldn't shake off Daisy, sighing: "Don't you have any sense of personal space, young lady?"
"I'm hungry, hungry!"
"Alright, alright, I'll cook for you, just sit here properly."
"Okay!"
Hearing this, Daisy immediately sat up straight like a schoolgirl, her eyes twinkling as she watched Laine.
Entering the kitchen, Laine took the remaining ingredients and started cooking the next batch, this time for three people.
Daili finished washing the dishes and came to help Laine.
"Sir Laine, please don't mind Daisy too much... she used to act the same way with Sir Lamb, I believe she's placed you in Sir Lamb's position."
Looking at Daisy sitting obediently at the dining table, Daili said softly:
"Sir Lamb's passing... must have hit Daisy very hard. Actually, before seeing you, Daisy had been quite gloomy."
Hearing this, Laine's cooking movements paused briefly before responding, "Don't worry, I won't dislike her."
If anything, Laine quite enjoyed it.
After all, during his ten years as a knight, spending every day with a bunch of men, it would be a lie to say he didn't look forward to interactions with the opposite sex.
It seemed Old Lamb had considered this point, which was why he had Laine avoid contact with the opposite sex before sending him to the knights' order.
But... Laine's mind contained a transmigrator's memories.
Those memories contained a strong desire for the opposite sex, along with countless intimate scenes, like projections from a stone, which had made Laine's stomach churn throughout his knight career.
Overall, the owner of these memories was quite a depraved person, seemingly having experienced many things that common sense would consider harmful to the body.
If this person had successfully possessed him, who knows what they would have done with his body.
Thinking about this, Laine couldn't help but shudder.
He must maintain self-discipline, absolutely must.
He couldn't let the desires brought by these memories break through his rationality.
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
invincible power, Gu Changge transmigrates into a fantasy world, bound to a sign-in system that grants him cultivation rewards and various peerless treasures daily. While others struggle desperately to break through their cultivation realms, he has long since reached the pinnacle of the Great Dao, becoming a reclusive Emperor whose true strength even he himself cannot fathom. Originally planning to lie low and retire peacefully on Purple Bamboo Peak, the system suddenly issues a new task — take on disciples. With no other choice, Gu Changge casually picks up a few disciples: The eldest disciple, born with a War God Constitution, is thrown a copy of "War God Stratagems" by him, and ends up conquering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, becoming a peerless War God who sweeps across the cosmos. The second disciple, possessing a Chaos Sword Body, can break all techniques with a single sword, his swordsmanship unmatched throughout history. He points his sword at the heavens: "My master said, the sword and the man stand together. If the sword perishes... my master will give me another one." The third disciple, a reborn Empress who returns to her throne, her elegance and grace overshadowing all beings. And without anyone noticing, his own sect, the Qingxuan Sect, has become the number one sect on the continent. Looking at these unbelievably formidable disciples, Gu Changge, holding the "Primordial Purple Qi" he just signed in for, falls into deep thought: — Wasn't this supposed to be a peaceful retirement? How did I become the ultimate master?!
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
