Now that he's stuck here, Huang Quan is really bored and has nothing to do. Liu Bai is also quite free and has time to think about Se Se.
Once all the departments are established, Huang Quan will have to be assigned to the combat department as its head immediately...
Just like how Yelan was unhappy with Ningguang's diversionary tactic, but had to admit that Ningguang's decision was sound.
Huang Quanzhen was indeed arranged this way, and she couldn't find a single fault with it. She couldn't blame either Liu Bai or Aistar. It was all done in an official capacity, and it was the most correct choice.
But it is different now.
Huang Quan submitted his application, and Estella, with her back full of confidence, gave him a firm affirmative reply...
"……real?"
Liu Bai never expected that Aistar would be so persistent.
Liu Bai is completely unaware of Estella's predicament, which is almost like a trap she has created for herself.
"She's just a maid! I don't care!"
Estelle continued to speak loudly in despair.
"I'll be taking office tomorrow! So please, Boss, approve the procurement proposal! Every day this is delayed, the organization's establishment will be delayed!"
"..."
Liu Bai didn't want to go through with it, so he brought Estella over.
No, let alone this procurement proposal, Liu Bai didn't even want to approve the subsequent name change proposal.
"...This organization is completely unable to go out and meet people."
Liu Bai sighed.
Can this organization really be brought into the open?
I'm sure some people will say they're a huge fan of maids, right?
...I actually really like the attributes of shrine maidens, ninjas, nuns, and female knights.
No single attribute or anything like that.
"Okay, I approve it. And while you're at it, let's expand this bedroom a bit."
...However, compared to a maid, these attributes are completely hard to mention, right?
At least maids... have some respectable elements, and there's not much of a barrier to entry.
If everyone dressed up as a white-stockinged shrine maiden or a black-stockinged ninja... well, then people would probably think of me as a weirdo, right?
Let's try something different another time.
"...That's easy to say. How would you like to expand?"
Estella breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the sacrifice was great, at least his life was saved.
It's not like you'll be beaten to death by everyone—after all, politics involves taking some and attacking others; you can't just offend everyone directly, right?
"Should we knock down the wall between the bedroom and the living room?"
"Then fill the huge space created by combining the living room and bedroom with a bed?"
Estella spoke first, maintaining her smile, but her twitching eyelids betrayed her true thoughts.
"Aren't you even more reckless than me?" Estelle wanted to say.
They were saying no just now, but now they're immediately pushing their luck.
"Hmm...then make the curtains thicker, or just make the glass one-way."
“That’s fine too.” Estella took a deep breath.
It's okay. After experiencing a life-or-death crisis, Estella has come to terms with it now.
Isn't it just expanding from a five-person cannon/room to a thirty-person one?
piece of cake.
Well, although Liu Bai's bedroom bed is very large and luxurious, it can only accommodate five people at most. In a sense, it can be considered a deluxe double bed.
But if you open up the bedroom and living room, and then discard all other furniture and fill the space with beds... thirty people.
Well, a bed that can truly accommodate thirty people... no, more than thirty people.
A large bed spanning over 100 square meters...
"Why don't you just knock down the entire secondary bedroom, kitchen, and study, and only keep the bathroom?"
Estelle smiled and continued to press the accelerator.
I'm flooring the gas pedal today! Nobody's getting out of the car!
Since we've already got a 100-square-meter king-size bed, it's not unacceptable to add another 200 square meters.
—It's clear that Estella's work experience with Liu Bai has allowed her to "grow" extremely quickly.
What does 200 square meters mean?
Even if we take a generous estimate, a person is only two meters long and one meter wide, which is just two square meters. A square bed of 200 square meters, if arranged properly, can fit 100 people.
Of course, considering that the skirts might not be perfectly square or perfectly regular, and the actual number of people will definitely not be that many (but), in any case, it's certain that at least fifty people can lie down comfortably.
After all, a normal double bed is only 1.5*2 or 1.8*2. For fifty people, that's four square meters per person, which is enough to lie down comfortably.
Even considering that in group activities, everyone is tangled together, this number is really as low as it can get.
But...
"I can't use that much by myself."
After Liu Bai finished calculating in his mind, the corner of his mouth twitched.
While it's not certain that fifty people will necessarily be able to take turns attacking you if you're lying down... you never know when you might actually be able to lie down completely.
"As the saying goes, it's better to be prepared than not. You never know when you might need it."
Estella spoke the words that Liu Bai was thinking.
She had made up her mind to step on the gas—not for self-preservation, of course.
It was to drag Liu Bai into this mess.
"But no matter what, we can't just remove the kitchen and everything else, can we?"
"No problem, we can combine the two rooms on the left and right so you can have a meal or relax nearby."
To the left of Liu Bai's room is Kafka, which is now Rita's room.
To the right is the room of the underworld.
Ah, it seems that even if the connection is made, it won't affect the current situation.
"The things these two are discussing are way too reckless..."
Even Shibao (a popular online shopping platform) has voiced similar complaints.
"But a 200-square-meter bed... I'd really like to try it out."
"It's definitely made by piecing together loose beds, so don't have any weird expectations... Hmm, let's do it the way you said, Estelle."
What if a 50 vs 1 battle really happens?
Give everyone a cursed ring that reduces everyone's stats to 1?
...That kind of talk, let alone fifty people, if you don't handle it well, you might kill three out of a hundred people, or even worse, you have to be careful not to break them.
But that's impossible, isn't it?
Fifty cursed rings are enough for me to draw 25 different characters and their matching weapons—provided, of course, that I don't go astray.
It's impossible not to use the clone.
So it seems there's only one path left.
...Gigantification?
He enlarged his body so that several of them had to surround him to hug him... cough cough.
Or perhaps we could find a way to temporarily shrink them...
It seems pretty far-fetched, but subtly, it actually does seem feasible?
In particular, the feasibility of this idea suggests that it might not even require those strange props, and all that's needed is for Nguyen Mai to put in a lot of effort.
However, while a large size difference allows for more people to be on the field at once, the drawbacks are also obvious... for example, it's completely impossible to hit the target... well, there's no way to avoid a large size difference...
"Hey, boss, are you listening to me?"
Estella smiled and tapped the table.
"Ah...cough cough, Estella, what did you just say?" Bai was stunned for a moment before snapping out of her reverie.
"As I just said, if you agree, I can find a construction team for you this afternoon."
Estella has already chosen a construction team.
Keqing can lead the Herrschers, Shenhe can handle the dismantling of the walls, and Xianyun can arrange the seamless and beautiful bed.
Estella believed in the group's abilities—and they would definitely be happy to come and help with the construction.
"...So fast? Isn't there a need to be in such a hurry?"
"It's just about efficiency, so what's your opinion..."
"Then let's do it..."
"Hey! This reckless plan actually got approved!?"
Shi Bao wondered why he had become a normal person now.
"Okay, I'll contact the construction team for you in a bit."
Estella bowed slightly to Liu Bai to indicate that she understood.
"If you have nothing else, I'll take my leave now."
"Ah, one more thing."
Looking at the smile on Estella's face, Liu Bai suddenly had an idea.
"How should I put it... Ming... the Smiling Tiger's character design isn't quite suitable for you, Esther."
Laugh when you should laugh, and complain when you should complain—that's the kind of young stationmaster Liu Bai remembers.
The current Estádio... inexplicably feels assimilated.
"...Who do you think caused this?"
"Eh?"

"Shibao, what are you thinking about?"
"I'm wondering if you're a normal person."
Shi Bao spoke very seriously.
"I'm clearly not a normal person!"
Is it really that important to this child whether or not someone is considered "normal"?
Well, Liu Bai had to admit that his conversation with Estádio did seem to have a little bit of anthropomorphism.
"Who told you you're the only one who's not normal?"
Liu Bai's rebuttal was very clear.
Do you think I'm a normal person?
“You…” Shi Bao opened his mouth, but when he looked at the self-righteous Liu Bai in front of him, he fell silent.
Damn, this thing really doesn't seem to be a normal person.
"You are shameless!"
