After I became a real young master, I became famous for my bad behavior

Da da da...

The boots made crisp footsteps.

Ivan walked slowly to the desk, sat down carefully in the chair, and then smiled meaningfully.

The mirror opposite of course revealed Ivan's body - I was suddenly glad for this contract.

Changing your identity to do things really saves you a lot of trouble.

The only inconvenience of using this vest is dealing with the communications with Impes's retainers - you know, as the "mysterious Earl of Eaton", Arthur has to stay in the reception room every Friday to meet privately with business partners.

(Suddenly I thought, Duke Haines seems to have never met Haines's retainers...)

For Sheen, who controls 30% of Imperth's economy, he also needs to meet privately with the retainer representatives secretly sent by Imperth.

The rumors about Ivan are not good...

(I want to cry but I can’t) If Haines hadn’t fabricated a false oracle, saying that Ivan was “Prince Susha”, there would be no need to worry about these trivial matters!

Alas, too many people are afraid of Ivan's identity.

Therefore,

Lift up the soft brown carpet on the floor and you can see the mechanism on the gray floor.

After the mechanism is turned on, it becomes a retractable staircase, directly connected to the reception room below.

Ivan's reception room is quite special. It has a thick black gauze that reaches all the way to the ceiling. This thick gauze has magic that can weaken the magic power of those who stay inside.

The thick mesh formed a small space with a black desk inside. People outside could not see the layout inside, but people inside could see everything going on outside.

(Similar to 'ruling from behind the scenes')

During meetings, Ivan needs to sit in that position with his back to his business partners.

Although it is troublesome, it is also for the sake of maintaining mystery and the safety of retainers.

“Nice design.”

After looking at the stair mechanism, Ivan closed the carpet and sat down at his desk.

He picked up a pile of official documents that were delivered last night (he had been dealing with "Sheen's funeral" these days and had done nothing else), skillfully opened the corresponding event, and read it carefully.

(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)

A megaphone version of "Für Alice" began to play, and Ivan found it very pleasant to the ears.

The system's cordial greetings eased the atmosphere.

"Hello, my dear host~" The system was suspended in the air, lying on its side next to the display screen, squinting its eyes and greeting Ivan.

"How are you feeling lately, host?"

"Neither good nor bad, no news is the best news."

Ivan placed the document on the table and turned the ink pen in his right hand. It was obvious that Jiaming did this a lot in real life.

He rested his chin on his left hand, staring at the document, carefully comparing the accuracy of the bill content:

Everything is running smoothly.

Seeing this, Ivan's face relaxed a little: it seems that during the time when Sheen was "dead", Impes' business partners were quite reliable, which was better than the messed-up Haynes Group in the novel.

Ivan ignored the system and just handled these matters with this angelic face.

...

The system landed on the desk, took a big sip of the strawberry smoothie with both hands, and then landed on Ivan's right hand side with a satisfied look on his face:

"Hehe~

"Host, I want to eat maltose, please give me another piece..."

maltose?

Is such that.

Before Sheen developed beet sugar, wasn't the Empire in a "sugar crisis"? So it was normal not to have anything sweet to eat in a day.

Sean (Jiaming) was fine, as he was a person who traveled through a book, so he could survive without eating dessert. But the system (formerly Sean), who was used to the taste of dessert, couldn't stand it. It pestered Sean when he was free:

"I want dessert, I want dessert!"

Readers say they have no desire to live.

Buddy, you are older than me, why do you want to eat dessert just because you have a doll body?!

Therefore, Sheen not only has to get through the plot... he also has to find something sweet for the system.

(It's outrageous)

He was really forced into a desperate situation. When Sean saw wheat and glutinous rice in this world, he thought of the malt sugar he ate when he was a child.

So, Sheen used the "essential survival skill for time travelers" of making malt sugar: basically, it involves malting the malt, steaming the glutinous rice, chopping the malt and mixing it with the glutinous rice, keeping it warm overnight, filtering the juice, and putting it in cups for later use.

When eating, take two sticks, stir a piece and then keep pulling the maltose, and finally insert it into the system's mouth.

...

Since then, the system has fallen in love with this kind of food.

And because it is made of grain sugar, it is not easy to damage teeth, so the system likes it very much and regards it as a substitute for dessert.

(Return to the plot)

Ivan was still thinking about——

I have changed my alias to do things now. If this alias does not make innovations in business to prove its strength, people watching the show will definitely say "Ivan is just squandering Sheen's money"...

"So, I have to find new business opportunities to prove that Ivan also has absolute creative talent."

Just at this moment, the system popped up a sentence "I want to eat maltose". His thoughts were pulled back by the childish voice.

"Maltose? Are you hungry again?"

Ivan rolled his eyes at the system: "You can only take 30 grams a day."

The system started to act like a spoiled brat at this time:

"Ahhhh...

"But you only gave me the maltose that's as big as the tip of my little finger. How can I have enough?"

Ivan was helpless - it was obvious that the system had fallen deeply in love with this delicacy.

(It turns out that this guy showed up just to eat maltose)

"(Life is hopeless) Why is the system that follows me so greedy...?"

Ivan sighed:

"Then wait until I'm done with these, and I'll get them for you during the halftime break."

"Great, the host is the best~"

The system lay on the desk, looking satisfied.

-

After finishing his work, Ivan took out a glass jar from the refrigerator (a cabinet with refrigeration magic), which contained white maltose blocks:

These are the products of maltose that has been cooked for a while and then half cooled, then kneaded and beaten repeatedly, and cut into pieces with ropes. They are convenient for long-term storage.

(It kept Ivan busy for the whole afternoon)

What makes people feel comfortable is that the system likes to eat this.

When the system saw Ivan take a piece out of the jar and hand it to it, it opened its mouth wide and took a bite.

"Ouch~"

"So happy——" the system sighed, covering its face with its hands.

Its sense of superiority comes from the fact that the host is a time traveler and can bring good things that are not in this world: Jiaming did not use this thing to "exchange for money", but just used it as a snack for himself and the system.

"Look at the way you eat,"

Ivan felt that his heart was healed. He smiled and stretched out his left hand to gently stroke the system's head:

"Eat slowly, it's not like there aren't other good things to eat."

"I know, I know,"

The system blurted out,

"This thing is really good. I can eat until I am satisfied without worrying about bad teeth...

"Host, you should know that the nobles now have to deal with the problem of 'toothache caused by eating too much sugar', which has also led to a booming business in Eric's dental department."
