"System, I've already completed the mission," Meg said directly, ignoring the resources that the system had secretly downloaded.
"You actually completed the mission in advance? This … this is illogical! According to the system's calculations, this mission has a 30% failure rate. How could you have completed it on the first day? "The system's surprised voice sounded.
"Anyway, I've already completed it. Hurry up and give me the reward," Meg said calmly without blushing or skipping a beat.
"Check complete. The system did not run wrong. The host has successfully completed the hidden mission and restored the confidence of 30 alopecia patients. The reward is: a recipe for steamed fish head with diced hot red peppers!" The system's voice sounded.
Meg looked at the steamed fish head with diced hot red peppers experience bag that appeared in his mind, and his eyes lit up. The steamed fish head with diced hot red peppers was the classic way to cook fish head, and he liked it very much. He just didn't know what kind of steamed fish head with diced hot red peppers could be made from the recipe given by the system.

In an elegant tearoom in the Buffett Manor, Gloria and The Hill sat opposite each other with a steaming pot of tea between them.
Gloria said apologetically, "Miss Hill, thank you for taking the time to meet me. It's really rude of you not to make an appointment in advance."
She looked at The Hill. This woman who was about the same age as her had an aura that did not match her age. She had seen this aura on her grandfather before. However, The Hill was not even 20 years old, and she already had the aura of a leader. Perhaps she was born to be a leader?
"I don't have any plans tonight. Of course, I'm willing to have a cup of tea with you, Miss Gloria. After all, in this huge manor, no one is willing to sit down and have a cup of tea with me peacefully." The Hill picked up the teacup and took a sip with a self-deprecating smile.
A hint of surprise appeared in Gloria's eyes. This peer of hers, who was already standing in the upper circle of power in Chaos City at such a young age, didn't have a perfect life like others thought?
"I heard that Cyril wants to kick you out of the board of directors during the Chamber of Commerce's year-end celebration. Are you here because of this?" Hill looked up at Gloria and asked.
Gloria didn't expect Miss Hill to speak first. She immediately guessed Miss Hill's intentions, but she wasn't too surprised. She nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I'm here to see Miss Hill about this matter. I hope Miss Hill can help me."
"Why do you think I'll help you?" Hill rubbed the cup with his slender fingers and looked at Gloria with a mysterious smile.
Gloria put down the teacup and looked into Hill's eyes as she said, "Compared to Cyril, I think Miss Hill would be more willing to see me as your opponent."
Miss Hill faltered slightly, and a hint of interest appeared in her eyes as she looked at Gloria. After staring at Gloria for a while, she nodded with a smile, and said, "Now, I do have that thought. Cyril has never been on my list of opponents, but now, I might consider adding you to my list."
Gloria's eyes lit up. Could it be that Miss Hill was really willing to help her?
"Seeing as we're both businessmen, let's make a deal," Miss Hill continued.
"What's the condition?" Gloria was alarmed. Although she had no choice but to ask for help from Miss Hill, she knew that Family Moreton and Family Moreton were competitors in the Aden Chamber of Commerce. If Miss Hill got hold of any evidence, or if Miss Family Moreton had to sacrifice their interests, she would never agree to it even if she was kicked out of the board.
"I'll ask the Buffett board to vote against it. Of course, I can't guarantee the result." Miss Hill's lips curled up slightly. "The condition is that from today onwards, I'll have the right to pre-order a set of clothes from Suede Clothing. As long as it's the set I've ordered, there won't be a second set of the same color. Of course, I'll pay according to the price. "
"That's … it?" Gloria was stunned for a moment. She still wasn't sure.
She didn't expect Miss Hill to propose such a condition. It wasn't related to Family Moreton, and she didn't have to make any promises against her will. She just wanted a set of Suede Clothing in her exclusive color. Although making the red color into a single set meant giving up a more popular color, it wasn't an unacceptable condition.
"Yes, I don't like to wear the same clothes as others. Although it's embarrassing for others if I do." Miss Hill nodded matter-of-factly.
"I accept this condition." Gloria smiled. "In the future, Suede Clothing's new products will be delivered to Miss Hill for you to choose. The color you choose will be the only one."
"As expected, you're more interesting than Cyril." Scheer raised his teacup to his lips and took a sip of tea.
"Miss Hill, you're also more interesting than the rumors say." Gloria took a sip of tea and smiled.
Miss Hill was interested. "Oh? I'm curious what the rumors say about me … "
…
Moreton Manor, study.
Mars looked at Geoffrey, who was sitting behind the desk, and said respectfully, "Master, Young Master Cyril has been close to Bowen of the Marquis Family recently. The directors of the Marquis Family have also received notice that they will vote to remove Miss Gloria from her position at the end of the year."
"So it's Bowen, that sly fox, who's behind this. Otherwise, Cyril wouldn't be so arrogant. That guy, does he really think I'm old?" A cold smile appeared on Jeffree's face as he looked at Mars, and said, "I'll get the Moreton Family's board members to remain neutral in this matter. Do your best to assist Gloria. If she can retain her board member position this time, I'll appoint you to a new position."
Mars shook his head. "Master, I'll just stay by Miss Gloria's side. I don't need any other position. I'll do my best to assist her. She's a very smart child. I'm sure she'll be able to solve this problem. "
"You can leave now." Geoffrey raised his hand, and Mars left. Looking at his back, Geoffrey said thoughtfully, "Did Mars think highly of Gloria from the beginning?"

To the north of the goblins' Vic Mountain, near the Wind Forest, was a series of steep mountains.
These mountains were rich in gold and gemstone mines. The hardworking goblins had dug out countless mines in the mountains and transported the precious gemstones and gold away, leaving behind many abandoned caves.
At this time, among the mountains, near The Wind Forest, there was a mountain peak. Many elves surrounded the foot of the mountain. Their torches were like a long dragon that surrounded the entire mountain peak.
In the middle of the mountain peak, at the entrance of a cave, a figure in white stood alone and looked down.
"Princess, we've been besieged for six days without any reinforcements. We've run out of food since yesterday. We have to find a chance to break out of this cave and find food. Otherwise, we won't last long," an elf said anxiously.
