"As expected, it didn't work..."
Eden walked out of the company building looking somewhat tired.
"You are incredibly precise in these matters, so precise that it's heartbreaking. If it were possible, I really wish you could solve these problems."
Eden smoothed her hair and, although she said that, her expression remained calm.
"I'm sorry, I personally have a phobia of interviews... although it happened 24 years ago."
"Ah? When I was born? Before you were born?"
A hint of curiosity appeared on Eden's face.
"It didn't exactly happen during your lifetime... Anyway, it was something quite disturbing."
"Alright, if you don't want to talk about it, don't."
Eden was quite calm, or rather, she didn't have much curiosity to begin with.
"But this interview was a complete failure, perhaps I should prepare to sing and sell clothes at the same time... Luckily, I still have some savings, which should be enough to live for a long time."
Looking on the bright side, doing two things you enjoy at the same time doesn't seem like such a bad idea.
Eden had a strange thought.
Anyway, her life plan was to graduate, debut, become a pop superstar, retire, dedicate herself to fashion design, and spend her days with Tian Shi.
"Does this mean I've reached the goal in a single step?"
Yes, of course!
That's a jump of at least twenty years! How can it be done in such a drastic way?
"Well... there's no need to be so realistic all of a sudden, mmm... if I make a sacrifice, maybe I can get you an investment, an investment that allows you to start your own business."
"Ah? Do you know a successful person like that?"
Eden looked a bit surprised.
While the concept of "starting one's own business" can be broad or narrow, the fact that Tian Shi dared to mention it means that, at the very least, it is something that can be discussed openly.
Was it someone Tian Shi knew "before her death"?
Eden silently imagined an old woman with white hair and gold-rimmed glasses, dressed in an expensive suit, meticulous, and exuding the aura of a successful person.
After all, it is a ghost's social circle, so it doesn't seem unacceptable for the other person to be a bit older, right?
"A successful person... I suppose she could be considered one."
Tian Shi hesitated for a moment.
She always had the feeling that Eden seemed to have misunderstood something.
However, Mobius was, indeed, a successful person in the conventional sense.
Yes, that's right. The successful person Tian Shi thought of was Mobius.
Judging by the timeline, Mobius is now a pillar of Fire Moth in scientific research, especially in biology.
Although Mobius was at the Fire Moth headquarters, Tian Shi had many ways to contact her.
"What do you mean by 'sacrifice'? Are you enemies? Or do you owe her a favor?"
Eden perceived that Tian Shi's expression and tone were somewhat strange.
"Hmm... how to put it? It's more... more complicated."
Tian Shi hesitated for two reasons.
One of them is the system, or rather, the timeline.
If I do this, it's very likely that the compatibility mechanism of the simulation will be activated.
After all, if we establish contact now, it will undoubtedly conflict with other simulations.
Secondly... taking Eden to find Mobius... wouldn't that kind of behavior give off a scoundrel vibe?
"My husband, who has been missing for several years, brought a woman she didn't know to my door, and the first thing she did was talk about money..."
Tsk, isn't this a total scoundrel?
"More complicated?"
Seeing Tian Shi's hesitant expression, Eden's expression suddenly softened.
"Well... let's forget it, there's no need to complicate my life."
Could it be his wife or his daughter?
Eden's feminine intuition made her alarm go off.
Eden couldn't think of any other relationship, other than these two, that could put Tian Shi in a difficult situation.
Besides, with Tian Shi's appearance, it would be strange if he didn't recognize any other woman...
After all, Tian Shi is practically a golden man...
"Let's go back to our rented apartment and talk about what to do next."
Although Eden felt a pang of regret, she maintained a calm expression on the surface.
"Trying to gain popularity by performing some charity concerts is also a good option."
"Since you put it that way, I have no objection."
Tian Shi sighed in relief upon hearing Eden's explanation.
After all, meeting Mobius during this period was a quite stressful experience.
Seeing Tian Shi's relieved expression, Eden felt a mix of emotions.
Is meeting that person something so stressful?
Eden hesitated for a moment before speaking again.
"By the way, Tian, you just mentioned that you want to be an entrepreneur, right?".
"Mmm, what's wrong?"
"I think it's a great idea, I'll be the singer and Tian Shi, you can be my manager, what do you think?"
"Manager...?"
"Compared to humbly joining those star companies and partnering with agents I don't know, I think it's better to partner with you."
As soon as Eden finished speaking, she immediately felt that her suggestion was brilliant.
"I must clarify in advance that I have no experience as an agent or in idol development."
"But aren't you very good at taking care of people?"
Eden smiled; she knew the matter was settled after hearing Tian Shi's response.
"Put another way, I'll sing and you'll be my nanny, what do you think?"
"If you put it that way, I'll have more confidence."
Isn't this simply taking care of a child? Just taking care of a child...?
Are you underestimating the value of me personally raising Mobius into a great scientist?
When it comes to raising children, the person Tian Shi can brag about most is Mobius.
Both started from scratch and had to work very hard to get ahead.
While part of the credit was due to Mobius's intelligence, Tian Shi also deserves great recognition.
Others, like Bronya and Mei, she also raised them, but their conditions were much better than Mobius's; the level of difficulty was completely different.
"Well, since you're asking me to be your manager, Eden, why don't you try live streaming?"
Tian Shi immediately offered advice from the perspective of a manager.
"Live streaming?"
Eden seemed somewhat bewildered, as her internet access was limited due to her family's circumstances.
"It's about becoming an internet idol." Tian Shi was very interested in this.
Granted, although Tian Shi said she had no experience in idol training and had never played similar games, once she took on the role of manager, she immediately understood why these types of games were so popular in her previous life.
In other words, in simulation games, the higher the achievement of the character you develop, the greater your sense of satisfaction.
"Then what should we do? For example?"
"For example, how about choosing a username for yourself, like 'Super Angel Eden-chan' or something like that?"
"Ha?"
"Your full name will be 'The Most Beautiful Angel, Eden-chan'."
"Waaah..."
