Zhang Lan sighed helplessly, feeling that it was absolutely necessary to explain some important basic settings to Wang Kai, whose brain cells were all labeled "gamer". She picked up another piece of paper and pen with a blank expression and wrote two words on it - "lickspittle"!

Before Wang Kai could react, Zhang Lan quietly handed the paper to Ilya and said...

"Ilya, stop right there. Do you even recognize those two words?"

Ilya looked at it for a long time, then shook her head.

"Now I'll tell you, these two words are 'lick dog,' Te Yi An Lie, Ge Ou Gou, Lie dog!"

"Lick...dog! Saintess, this is so hard to read."

"You read well. Do you know what those two characters mean?"

"do not know……"

"Okay, you can continue drawing."

After doing all this, Zhang Lan gestured for Wang Kai to go aside and talk.

"I thought you already knew. We can understand the writing system in this other world, and we can also understand the meaning of the characters. But the Chinese characters we write are incomprehensible to others, even if we read them aloud for them, they still don't know the meaning..."

"Oh, I see. It's like you only know Chinese, while I know both Chinese and English. I can read and understand the Chinese characters you write, but you can't understand the English I write. Even if I teach you to read it, you still won't know what it means, right?"

"Bingo... But you didn't understand the language of this world before, so how could you read and understand it?"

"This... is beyond my comprehension."

"And you call yourself a 'game expert'? How should I explain it to you? It's like you inherited the 'Kyle' character account. Kyle's body, skills, and even memories were all synchronized with you as 'game data,' which is why you were able to understand the language of this world and basic magic control."

Wang Kai felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and at the same time, he remembered something and said with a slight surprise.

"No wonder, lately, whenever I see so many pretty girls, I immediately become a gentleman if I even think about them in a slightly suggestive way. Kyle, that simp, the 'self-discipline code' he forced into my mind wasn't a bug in the game, it was just a 'passive attribute' inherited from my original account character..."

"Huh? What are you talking about, 'self-discipline code'?"

Seeing the ambiguous words that came out of Wang Kai's mouth after his expression of sudden realization, Zhang Lan asked him a question.

Wang Kai immediately switched his expression back to its original state, his eyes becoming unfocused, and he tried to change the subject while moving his body to the side.

"Code... you must have misheard me. I just said 'Are you there?' Did you mean I was asking if someone named 'Kyle' was still there?"

Just then, Ilya strode over, holding a drawn sheet of paper, and carefully handed it to Zhang Lan.

"Holy Maiden, this is the tattoo design I can remember. I'm counting on you from now on."

Zhang Lan took the paper, looked at it, wrote down the pattern, and then patted Ilya's head again, smiling.

“Okay, I’ll find someone to help investigate tomorrow. From now on, you have to promise me that Ilya is no longer someone whose heart is filled with hatred and who will do anything for revenge. Instead, she will be the captain of the ‘Raffi Girl’ under my ‘Hermit’s’ command. Do you understand?”

"Understood, Holy Maiden Sister, goodnight..."

As Ilya left, she bowed to Zhang Lan and glanced at Wang Kai again. As she walked toward the door, she patted him on the waist and said with a smile.

"Goodnight to you too, Kyle... Also, remember, once someone's 'request' is issued, it can't be taken back. The time limit is indefinite, as long as you finish before the Saintess Sister..."

"This girl, it will be at least several years before I'm interested in the 'rewards' you can pay..."

"Really? You think I'm a little kid? I know everything..."

After saying that, Ilya blew a kiss and gently closed the door...

After everything settled down, Ilya let out a long sigh of relief, leaned against the door, gently opened her palm, stared at a glittering ring in her hand, a faint smile appearing on her lips, and then quietly left.

Having temporarily resolved one of the "side quests," Wang Kai breathed a sigh of relief, his mind returning to the "main quest," and he casually found a direction to continue the conversation.

"The 'Lafite Girls' group under the command of 'The Saintess of the World,' your taste in naming is quite unique."

"It's not that it's unique. After all, new things need to have a mysterious aura, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten to where I am today so smoothly..."

Seeing the look of reminiscence on Zhang Lan's face, Wang Kai finally remembered the various questions that had been nagging at his mind.

In summary, what happened to Zhang Lan during the nearly two months that Wang Kai was away, that led her to move from her previous rented house to this newly built "Alchemy Pavilion" in the "Hani Chamber of Commerce" area of ​​the wealthy district of Merck Town? Could the name "Alchemy Pavilion" be related to alchemy?

Wang Kai immediately put on an expression of eager anticipation for an answer. Zhang Lan paused for a moment, as if she had been enlightened. She raised her eyes, clenched her right fist and slammed it against her left hand, and asked the question cautiously.

"Hey, you've been back for so long, and I haven't mentioned a single thing to you about what happened in the last two months, have I?"

"You're still using a question at this point? Ever since we got on that carriage, we've only been talking about random things. If you don't give me a proper explanation from now on..."

"You didn't even ask carefully. Hey, stop glaring at me. Fine... come with me. It's not convenient to talk here. I'll explain everything to you from the beginning..."

Zhang Lan led the way, and Wang Kai could only follow her as they wandered through the maze-like stairwells. The general direction was downwards. He only remembered that there was a conference room and activity room on the fifth floor, and a large bathroom on the fourth floor. He didn't know what the second and third floors were like, but when he passed the third floor, he could clearly feel that the temperature in the air was a bit high...

"After I finish explaining, you can feel free to look around the third floor if you're interested. The second floor has a data room and discussion rooms for the public..."

"The name sounds quite formal and modern. Could it be that the entire 'Alchemy Pavilion' was designed according to your ideas?"

"You could say that, since that's what's stipulated in the 'contract'."

"'Contract'? You seem to have mentioned it before, whose 'contract' is it with?"

"It's Chairman Hani."

"That old man? He locked you, Martha, and a group of girls up here just because of a 'contract'... and made you build such a huge building on his valuable land, with the interior designed and named in your own style, and you even have absolute control over it. Could it be..."

"What? Are you about to draw a conclusion? You can take a guess first..."

"Guess, uh..."
