Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Work Uniform

Lily Hart gently pushed her down into the driver’s seat. "Just sit here and don’t move, okay?"

Diana Sharp looked around nervously, but her heart settled when her gaze met Lily’s gentle eyes. She nodded at her. "Okay."

Once Diana agreed, Lily Hart pressed the "ascend" button, not forgetting to add a reminder, "It might get a little dizzying. Just stand up once we’re up there and you’ll be fine."

While she was still completely bewildered, the world spun around her. By the time she could react, the scene before her had completely changed.

Diana Sharp panicked for a moment, but quickly remembered Boss Hart’s words and got up, moving to the side.

A few breaths later, Boss Hart appeared before her, sitting in that comfortable chair.

Lily Hart stood up and pulled her toward the bed at the back of the vehicle. When they reached it, Diana Sharp looked down. Her clothes were too dirty...

’And Boss Hart’s bed looks so fragrant and soft. If I get it dirty, I’ll die of guilt.’

Diana Sharp shook her head. "I can just sleep on the sofa." She pointed at the couch, which also looked very soft and large.

Lily Hart had a feeling she knew what Diana was thinking. ’She sees herself as a dirty kid, she must have some self-esteem issues.’

But as the supremely confident extrovert Lily Hart, she absolutely would not allow her "employee" to feel insecure!

’That’s right, I’ve already accepted Diana Sharp as an employee, so the benefits have to keep up, don’t they?’

She immediately searched for "work uniforms" under the "Apparel" category in the shop. Wow, the selection was dazzling—they had every style imaginable.

Ultraman, Shaun the Sheep, Pleasant Goat, Peppa Pig, as well as various shirts and dresses.

There were normal ones and not-so-normal ones.

Her eyes glazed over from all the options. In the end, she chose a slightly more normal style: the Pleasant Goat one.

It was fluffy all over, feeling just like real wool, and there was a small white ball on the butt.

It came with two little horns on the head, which was very cute. Wearing it would make you look just like a fluffy sheep.

She bought several sets: a Pleasant Goat one, a Beautiful Goat one, and a full set for the entire Goat Village family.

’They can pick whichever they want later.’ Lily Hart even made sure to check the material; it would automatically adjust to the wearer’s size.

Most importantly, it had a one-touch cleaning function! So practical!

Not only did she buy the Goat Village family set, Lily Hart also bought some very normal work clothes—short-sleeved shirts with shorts or long pants—to be used as casual wear.

Lily Hart was truly impressed with herself. ’I’m so thoughtful. I really am cut out to be a boss.’

Lost in her thoughts, she laughed out loud without realizing it. Diana Sharp looked at her in alarm and poked her. "Boss Hart?"

Lily Hart snapped back to reality. Seeing the curiosity in Diana Sharp’s eyes, she gleefully pulled out the Pleasant Goat outfit.

"So? What do you think? Our work uniform! Isn’t it great?" Lily Hart asked, full of expectation.

Diana Sharp gave it a once-over. ’Horns on the head, a tail on the back? It’s weird,’ she thought, but didn’t dare say it out loud.

"Hey? Go ahead and say it. I’m not that unreasonable of a boss," Lily Hart encouraged.

But the next second, she saw Diana shake her head decisively and refuse. "It’s too cute, miss, but I don’t like it."

Lily Hart was crushed. ’Pleasant Goat is *too* cute? I haven’t even brought out the cutest one, Lazy Goat!’

"You have to wear it!" Lily Hart shoved it into her hands. "You’re wearing it this afternoon!"

Diana Sharp accepted it with a pained expression, but didn’t forget to ask, "Does Easton have to wear one too?"

Lily Hart said with certainty, "Of course!"

As four o’clock approached, Lily Hart’s internal clock prompted her to open her eyes.

Diana Sharp had already changed into the Pleasant Goat outfit and was sitting on the sofa, poised and ready, looking like she was about to head into battle.

Lily Hart was amused by her expression and pinched her thin cheek. The two of them then headed down one after the other.

Easton was curiously wandering around inside the RV, but he was obediently not touching anything, just looking with his eyes.

The moment Lily Hart saw Easton, she called out to him, "Easton, come get your work uniform."

Hearing this, he jogged over excitedly. ’I didn’t expect to get new clothes just for coming to help Brother Frost!’

But when Lily Hart pulled out the Beautiful Goat outfit, Easton’s smile froze on his face. "H-h-how am I supposed to wear this?"

Even though the RV and the convenience store both had air conditioning, so it wouldn’t be hot to wear, it was still super embarrassing!

Easton was just about to refuse when he saw Diana Sharp walk out wearing the strange outfit, her movements slightly awkward.

He wailed, "Diana Sharp, you too! Traitor! You’re a huge traitor!"

Diana Sharp glared at him, retorting stubbornly, "Then don’t wear it if you’ve got the guts!" She was as sharp-tongued as ever when dealing with people she knew well.

"If you’re wearing it, what right do you have to stop me from wearing it!"

"Then what are you shouting about? Easton! If you say one more word, I’ll tell Brother Frost you’re bullying me!"

"You, you! Shameless!"

The quiet RV instantly became lively with the two youngsters’ bickering. Lily Hart watched the show from the side, all but grabbing a bag of sunflower seeds to snack on.

At some point, Frost Shaw had also come up. He leaned against the body of the RV with his arms crossed, watching the two bicker.

A customer arrived, and Lily Hart went to greet them. Diana Sharp, being exceptionally perceptive, immediately followed at her heels, even turning back to make a face at Easton and stick her tongue out. "Bleh~"

Easton was so angry he wanted to rush over and argue with her some more, but he was hauled away by Frost Shaw.

Meanwhile, Lily Hart taught Diana Sharp how to operate the lottery machine. All she had to do was manually enter the numbers and give the ticket to the customer.

Just then, a customer came, so Lily Hart demonstrated for Diana Sharp a few times. She was very smart and caught on immediately.

Lily Hart was very satisfied. She watched from the side for a while, and after confirming there were no problems with Diana’s work, she went off to take care of other things.

Organizing the scratch-off tickets, watching customers to make sure they didn’t try anything funny, and promptly opening new packs of scratch-offs.

They were all small, tedious tasks, but Lily Hart was already quite skilled at them and had found her own rhythm.

But... going from a small window to windows on all four sides at once was a bit much to handle.

She repeatedly opened her Light Brain to check her points balance and see how much was left on the progress bar to Level 5.

It took one hundred thousand points to get to Level 4, but a million to get to Level 5. ’Does the system think I’m a money-printing machine?!’

As she thought about this, a sudden idea flashed through Lily Hart’s mind. ’I’m already Level 4, how come I didn’t get any level-up rewards?’

She immediately went to interrogate the system. The latter stammered, "Just a little reward..."

"Give it to me!" Lily Hart demanded forcefully. ’No wonder! So this damn system swiped it all!’

In that instant, Lily Hart saw that her level-up progress bar had jumped by a tenth. ’Holy crap, it really swiped a hell of a lot!’

"What other rewards are there? Hand them over now!" Lily Hart continued to press, though she secretly felt that one hundred thousand points was already a lot and there probably wasn’t anything else.

But who would have known! The number of items in her inventory jumped to double digits, when it had been in the single digits before!

She immediately opened it to look, shot up to her feet in shock, and started cursing out loud, "You piece of shit system! So you’re the one who’s been swallowing my rewards, huh!"

The customers standing in circles around her heard this and their gazes immediately shot toward her.

Lily Hart waved her hand nonchalantly. "Carry on, I’ve just got something to deal with!"

With that, she continued cursing in her head. ’You damned system! I knew something was up when you were so quiet during the level-up! All you did was remind me I leveled up. You had a guilty conscience, didn’t you!’
