“I’m not sure. I’ve been living a muddle-headed life for the past two years. I used to be a kindergarten teacher. After Lily’s accident, I quit my job and wholeheartedly looked for Lily. In the past two years, I don’t know much about the things that happened around me.”

Lauren sighed silently. What was she going to do? There were no clues at all.

Lauren asked Ben to send Yulia back first while she sat on the swing on the balcony, staring blankly at the Crystal Lake.

Her legs were a little short and she couldn’t touch the ground. Lauren wanted to swing, but after shaking her short legs twice, she gave up.

[System Divine Nine: There are still more than twenty days left on the mission. It’s quite a long time.. Host, you can take your time to think about it.]

“This mission has three stars. It’s definitely not as simple as it looks. I didn’t get any useful information from Auntie Yulia either…”

Lauren was in a daze until someone knocked on the door. It was the waiter who came to clean up.

Scott followed behind.

“Good morning, boss. Did you sleep well yesterday?”

“Good morning, Mr. Kennedy. I slept very well yesterday. The bed here is big and soft. It’s also my favorite pink!”

Scott nodded with a smile. “Of course. Since you ordered it, we did our best to fulfil it.”

The waiter was wiping the floor. In every corner, he squatted down and wiped the floor with a towel over and over again.

“Mr. Kennedy, why don’t you use a cleaning robot? That way, you won’t have to work so hard!”

Scott shook his head slightly.

“The boss doesn’t know that although the cleaning robot saves manpower, there are some blind spots that the cleaning robot can’t take care of. No matter how advanced the technology is, sometimes the simplest method–manual labor–is the most efficient method.”

“That’s the reason why our Villa’s hygiene level has always been rated as a first-class five-star. We will never slack off when it comes to hygiene.”

Lauren was no longer listening to what Scott said after that.

Her attention was drawn to that sentence. The simplest method was instead the most efficient method.

That’s right, why didn’t she think of that! There were too many tools available right now, but she had neglected the simplest method.

Lauren suddenly clapped her hands, giving Scott a shock.

“Mr. Kennedy, thank you so much. I’ll give you a raise! No, all the employees will get a 20% raise!”

Although Scott did not know what had happened, he was greatly shocked.

“Okay boss, thank you boss! The employees will definitely be very happy when they find out.”

Scott happily hummed a song and went out to announce the good news to everyone.

[System Divine Nine: Host, what have you thought of?]

“Call me princess and I’ll tell you.” Lauren, who had found a breakthrough, was clearly in a good mood.

[System Divine Nine: You’re so childish.]

“I’m only four-and-a-half years old. If I can’t be childish, who else can? You, on the other hand, are over four hundred years old. Why aren’t you as smart as I am?”

[System Divine Nine: My four hundred years old is only a few years old compared to you humans. If I calculate it, I’m the same age as you.]

“Keep quiet, I won’t listen to you.” Lauren shook her head.

A gust of wind blew across the surface of the lake and created waves.

[System Divine Nine: Ahem, Princess Lauren, just tell me!]

System Divine Nine’s voice was very young and tender. According to Lauren’s knowledge, their 0 to 500 years of age was the infancy stage, just like the humans’ 0 to 10 years age range. However, once they were over 500 years old, their growth rate would be even faster. It was possible for them to grow one year older in one night. Everything depended on their own cultivation level.

Lauren did some calculations. System Divine Nine should be around eight years old in the human world now.

If System Divine Nine could transform into a human form, he could be considered Lauren’s brother.

[System Divine Nine: Well?]

“Have you heard the story of waiting for a rabbit?”

[System Divine Nine: Waiting for a rabbit? What do you mean?]

Lauren said, “Waiting for a rabbit means waiting at a place patiently for your prey to appear.”

[System Divine Nine: Waiting for the prey to appear on its own, so what you mean is …]

“Go to the amusement park and wait!”

[System Divine Nine: Go to the amusement park and wait!]

System Divine Nine’s voice and Lauren’s voice overlapped.

“Not bad, System Divine Nine. You’re teachable.”

Thus, Ben, who had just driven back and prepared to visit the scenic attractions, became a driver again.

“Miss Torres, why are we going to the amusement park again? Didn’t we go to that place just two days ago?”

“It’s different. The last time we went there, we were going to have fun. This time, we’re going to wait for people…no, wait for ghosts.”
