Chapter 17 Problem Solving Strategies

Vivian, who is proficient in levitation, seems to be chatting with her good friend about going to the wild to practice herbal medicine.

Betty, whose enchantment talent is highly praised by her mentor, seems to be concentrating on staring at a glass dagger in her hand.

Jennifer, who said last night that anyone who practices dancing is a fool, seems to have changed her mind overnight. Now she is pulling a few friends to practice dance steps under the lights not far away...

However, no matter what they are doing, they always sneak a glance at the new guy in the corner from time to time.

The reason is that the guy looks good.

Lily Cozia's eyes flashed with disdain.

These stupid women, each of them is hardworking and serious, showing their best side, just like a group of animals twisting their buttocks to court.

Unfortunately, the new guy never noticed them at all, and his attention was always on Charlie's group.

Really...

The little girl sitting in the corner was thinking about what words to use to describe this situation more appropriately.

In a blink of an eye, the new guy stood up for no reason and walked to the center of the hall.

It was obvious to the naked eye that the stupid women were obviously a little nervous. They seemed to be looking forward to the new guy getting close to them, but they were afraid that he would go to someone else...

Lily didn't think the new guy would get close to them, because she had already determined that the new guy liked Charlie.

However, in a blink of an eye, Lily had no time to pay attention to this idea.

Because she was surprised to find that the new guy actually walked in the direction where she was, and then sat down on the sofa opposite.

"Hello."

The pure voice sounded refreshing and pleasant, but the little girl looked at the other party with suspicion.

"You actually like children?" She felt a little incredible about this.

"Well, of course I like children."

"You actually admitted it like this?!"

"Is there anything wrong with admitting this?"

"..."

Lily didn't say anything, but her little face was full of vigilance when she looked at the other party.

Mellen felt a little puzzled.

I can understand every word she said, why does this kid have such an expression?

Although people here generally have strange personalities, they are not so strange that they can't be understood.

What is she thinking about?

By the way, why does this little girl seem a little familiar?

He was a little puzzled, but on the surface, Melen coughed dryly and said, "Formally introduce myself, my name is Egg, Egg Wilson."

"Everyone is looking at you."

Lily said, "Don't think of doing anything disgusting to me."

"What are you talking about?" Melen was stunned.

"It's the kind of thing you are thinking about now."

The little girl looked very understanding, looking at Melen with disgust, "I'm only ten years old, how can you be so embarrassed?"

Melen understood that this was treating himself as a pervert.

After traveling through time for more than ten years and staying away from a group of lsp netizens for more than ten years, he became a little slow to such things, so that he only reacted now.

Then Melen felt deeply insulted.

With my appearance, how could I be that kind of person!

I am just a child myself!

What's wrong with this little guy? Not only is he very friendly, but his personality is also very weird!

"You misunderstood."

Of course, he couldn't tell a child about his inner complaints,

so he said: "Because I will go to the children's class for extra lessons starting tomorrow, and I heard that you are very prestigious there, so I wanted to come and say hello to you in advance."

In order to quickly gain the trust of the other party, Mellen didn't care about his face. His sincere look was as if he was paying homage to the leader of the class.

But to some extent, this Lily is indeed the boss of the children's class.

Although I haven't seen her in person, everyone says that she is a little girl with violent tendencies. She beats children of the same age every now and then and makes them cry.

The little girl was full of suspicion when she heard this.

"Really?"

"What else?"

Mellen frowned in doubt, and the expression that had changed due to practicing breathing techniques was slightly released.

The little girl suddenly felt that the surprised look on the face of the person in front of her did not look like a pervert.

"Okay, you're very sensible."

She nodded, unconsciously putting on the airs of a boss.

"But there are no rules in our place, and I'm not a strict person, just do whatever you want."

Merlen was stunned when he heard this, and then he became completely interested.

Most people in this world follow the rules, and interesting children like this are rare.

"How can that be possible? You must not be casual when you are a person, and I am very clear about this principle."

He said seriously: "For example, although you are a little younger than me, according to the rules, I still have to call you sister."

"Not that bad, right?"

The little girl was stunned when she heard it, "I told you, I'm not that kind of person..."

"Sister, don't say more," Mellen replied seriously: "There is an old saying in the East, called no rules, no square, I think it makes sense."

Lily's face showed a hint of hesitation when she heard this, but she nodded in the end. "Well, since you insist on recognizing me, from now on, you are my brother."

The two of them became familiar with each other, and the progress was much faster than expected.

Merlen coughed dryly and said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, I came to visit you this time mainly to ask you for a favor..."

The girl who was secretly proud of having won over a boy several years older than herself was stunned when she heard this, and a hint of vigilance rose on her face.

"If you have anything, you might as well ask the tutor instead of asking me."

Obviously, she was not so easy to fool.

"But there are some things that cannot be told to the tutor."

Merlen stammered: "Since you are a sister, you should understand this truth."

What should I understand?

Lily was confused when she heard this, and after looking at the guy opposite her for a few times, she suddenly realized.

"Oh, you like Charlie, but you are embarrassed to confess, so you want me to pass the note for you?"

What the hell?

Merlen was stunned when he heard this.

What is this guy thinking about?

Why did he suddenly talk about those people?

"No, I mean, someone has offended me, but I can't fight him directly."

Feeling that it was a bit difficult to communicate, Melen had to speak more bluntly.

"So this time I came to visit my sister, actually hoping that you can help me..."

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

The little girl looked at Melen with disdain, "Is it that I get dizzy after being coaxed a few words? I'm not that kind of stupid woman."

This child is really special.

Melen was amazed by this.

In his impression, the teenagers in this world are like the kind of children he saw in the 1980s and 1990s in his previous life.

Either they are honest or they are stubborn.

Even if they are not honest, it is rare to see such a clever one.

That's not to say that they are born clumsy, but because they lack the corresponding growth environment.

Children in the information age and children in the old era have essential differences in personality.

The biggest difference is precocity.

Secondly, the brain circuit is more bizarre.

But children generally "love face" and "think they are mature" and tend to "imitate adults", or imitate people they think are powerful.

As long as you master these principles, you will be able to succeed in everything.

In his previous life, Mellen had never been bullied by a naughty child.

On the contrary, he often used this characteristic of naughty children to make them unlucky in various ways, and then hid aside and laughed.

Unexpectedly, he actually ran into a tough guy in this ancient world.

But it doesn't matter. If plan A doesn't work, he still has plan B.

Since the premise of being close to the other party has been achieved, no matter how the strategy changes, the goal can always be achieved.

It is actually a good thing that the other party is so precocious.

"Of course I don't think you're a stupid woman."

He lowered his voice and said, "But I think you're a very capable person, and capable people are often more likely to take on the upcoming opportunities."

"What opportunity?"

"The opportunity to make money."

Mellen said, "I can't ask you to help me solve the problem for free. After the matter is done, I will thank you with both hands."

"How much can you give me?" Lily blinked, obviously very interested in this.

"How much do you think is appropriate?"

After thinking about it, the girl gestured to Mellen with three fingers.

"Three hundred grams of ghost dust?"

Mellen agreed immediately, "No problem."

She said that one thousand was fine, because Mellen didn't intend to pay at all.

But Lily was smart, but she didn't think there would be such a thing as defaulting on the debt.

When she heard the number from Mellen's mouth, she couldn't help but widen her eyes in shock.

She originally wanted to say 30, but she didn't expect...
