Gain Exp

"Can you propose some marketing strategies on how we can increase our sales for the instant noodle department?"

Ciel was pretending to be doing something on his table. It was only two hours after he started working. All he had to do was buy some coffee from the neighboring cafe and then give it to his higher-ups.

It seemed like this body was already used to being an underdog, but Ciel begged to differ. He did not want to live his whole life being looked down on as an intern.

Then a thought came to his mind.

He was reminded of how he treated his subordinates back when he was still a Vampire King. He always treated them as lower than him, and he never thought that he would experience being one in another realm.

Why did he have to suffer like this?

"That is the reason why you have to level up, my king," The bat spoke to his mind, breaking his trail of thoughts. "You have to increase your current stats, acquire dark orbs and gain more knowledge about how things work, and climb all the way up to the top."

"To the top?"

"Yes, to gain more power and easy access of all the women here in this realm," The bat's voice had a static sound in it, and it was becoming more annoying. "You have to reach---"

"Intern!"

"----and become a manager, director, CEO, or even the chairman of the Wave F &B."

"Mister Ciel!"

With a yell coming from someone, Ciel came back to his senses as he jolted. His eyes focused on the desktop monitor as he was trying to pretend that he was busy working on something. He slightly turned his head and glanced up. Ciel saw Team Leader Kei crossing her arms with her brows furrowed as if she was dissatisfied just by looking at him.

"Yes?" Ciel answered.

"Are you even listening to me?" Team Leader Kei asked. "I called you twice. It was clear that you were spacing out."

"I am listening to you intently. And I responded when you called me by my name," Ciel responded, low-key, implying that he wanted to get called by his name instead of being called in such a derogatory position.

"You are an intern," Kei said as she grimaced. "That is why I called you for one."

"That is right," Ciel muttered. "Let us just put it that way."

"What did you say?"

"Nothing at all," Ciel faked a smile as he turned his head towards her. "What can I do for you, Team Leader Kei?"

"I want you to create a PowerPoint presentation and propose some marketing strategies on how we can increase our sales for the instant noodle department," Kei said as she handed him some folders on his desk. "You can do it for me, right?"

Ciel did not answer and just looked at the folders that were on his desk.

Rose told him that for six months of an intern's job, 99 percent of it only comprised some menial jobs. Is making a PowerPoint presentation included in it?

He glanced over at Rose, who was on her table busily minding her own business.

Maybe, time had already changed.

"Good luck on making that, intern," Team Leader Kei said with a smile. "I want you to make it in just two hours, okay?"

"B-but--"

"Two hours is already long enough, dear,"

Ciel did not even have the time to argue because she already left and waved her hand goodbye as she went back to her desk. How can he even create a PowerPoint presentation when he does not have the basic knowledge about making it.

"That is the reason why you have to collect the dark orb, my King!" The bat spoke in his head as if it was reading his mind.

[Mission]

[Learn how to create a PPT presentation! Ask the permanent employee Rose for help, and you will be rewarded with +1 intelligence]

What on Earth?

Was another mission given to him again? How many does he have to do to receive those dark orbs and improve his knowledge stats?

It was getting annoying---

"My king," The bat spoke in his mind. "Be careful with your words. The system is just observing you in what you do."

"So do I just have to act like I am a robot---"

"Just do it first, my King," said the bat to Ciel. "Your intelligence is the same as those elementary school students! Since you do not have enough dark orbs yet, you have to ask for help. It's just easy. You just have to get to Rose's good side."

And the bat vanished into thin air in his subconscious mind.

Now, what does he had to do?

Ciel looked to his right and saw Rose sipping her cup of iced Americano. Eyeing his target, he stood up and approached her to the side. He glanced at her laptop monitor first and found out that she was working on something he did not know about.

Without even looking at him, Rose spoke as she continued to work on her laptop. "What can I do for you, Mister Ciel?"

"Do you know how to make a PowerPoint presentation?" "Of course I do," Rose said as she finished typing something into her laptop, and she erased it. She looked at him through her round, green-coloured glasses. "Why?"

"I would like to ask for some help," Ciel said as he directly stared at her in the eye. "I do not know how to make one."

"As business majors, making PowerPoint presentations is like our bread and butter," Rose snorted as she took off her round green colored glasses and put them on the side. "And you are saying that you do not know how to make one?"

Bobbing his head up and down, Ciel replied. "Yes, I do not know how to make one."

"Are you sure that you already finished college at the top of your grade in the best university in the city?" Rose asked, raising her brows.

"It was because I never had to make for one," Ciel calmly responded. He was previously a vampire king, and all he did as long as he existed was to feed on faeys and solve the palace matters that needed attention.

As he observed Rose's facial expression, it seemed that she was most likely not buying it or just found it a hassle. So he had to step up his game and do a bargain.

He then looked at Rose with a smile and spoke in his low registered voice, "Teach me how to make for a PowerPoint presentation and I will treat you for dinner tonight. How does that sound?"

Ciel watched how Rose tried to mask her facial expression. As she could observe, she was the typical single woman who lived alone in a highly urbanized city.

She was living on her paycheck and always had to be thrifty to live in this expensive world.

Rose cleared her throat and said in a low voice, "What type of dinner are you treating me with?"

"Whatever you like," Ciel responded. "So are you okay with it?"

"Treat me with beef pho at the Vietnamese restaurant opposite our company's building,"

"Deal,"
