Chapter 267 Noticing a Clue, Zaoyou Puts Her Hands on Her Hips

"Have you heard any sounds while you're sleeping?"

Upon hearing Xunfeng's question, Zaoyou lowered her head and fell into thought.

"A sound? Let me think..."

After a while, Zaoyou shook her head, which was dizzy from overexertion, and then looked up and said.

“I remember now… This morning, I heard ‘[Thank you for your patronage]’ many times!”

"Is this some kind of useful clue...?"

After receiving Zaoyou's answer, Paimon rubbed his forehead in disappointment.

"No, it's a useful clue. Zaoyou, do you remember how many times you've heard 'Thank you for your patronage'?"

After saying that, Xunfeng once again showed an expectant look in his eyes.

"Hmm...uh...this problem is a bit..."

"Xunfeng, you're asking a question like that. Zaoyou definitely can't answer it. Who would memorize information from the outside world while they're sleeping?"

Seeing Zaoyou's helpless reaction, Hu Tao smiled irritably and then patted Xunfeng.

"Wait... I remember now... Hmm, hmm... Hmm, ah—every time I hear 'Thank you for your patronage'... there are at least sixteen snores in between!"

After hearing Zaoyou's answer, Hu Tao's eyes widened in shock.

"Wow, there really are people who can remember things in their dreams! They're truly [professionals]!"

"Hehehe... As a ninja, these things are nothing to me..."

"I really envy Hayato... She can think while she sleeps. I've decided! I want to be a ninja too!"

As Paimon spoke, he confidently crossed his arms.

"I think you just want to be lazy and sleep in, right?"

Before Ying could even complain, Xun Feng directly exposed Paimon's little scheme.

"Oh dear?! Paimon, I've put in so much effort, yet I'm still misunderstood. I'm innocent!"

After saying that, Paimon covered his eyes, looking aggrieved.

But after several seconds, not a single tear fell from her face.

Sensing the quiet atmosphere around him, Paimon gave an awkward smile and then lowered his hand again.

"Hehe... I was just trying to lighten the mood, you guys know what I mean, right?"

"Hmm... sixteen snores, that's about a minute, plus the time spent preparing the goods and moving boxes in between... um..."

While oblivious to Paimon's presence, Zaoyou raised her hand to steady her head as she engaged in intense recollection, speaking aloud to herself.

"It will take at least five hours."

After saying that, Zaoyou slumped her head, feeling exhausted, and stared wearily at the floor.

"Five hours... There was a sign next to the shop that said sales started at 8:00 AM. We arrived around 11:00 AM. By the time we met Zaoyou, the rooftop dolls were already sold out. So... they sold out in less than four hours?"

Hu Tao took out her pocket watch, did some simple calculations, and then frowned in confusion.

"Yes... the timing doesn't match up—that means there's definitely a problem with the quantity!"

Ying stood to the side, nodding in agreement.

"In other words... even if I had just woken up, I would still have had a chance to buy one if there were enough dolls available!"

After listening to Hu Tao's analysis, Zao You suddenly realized and raised her head.

"In short! The mission failed because bad guys sabotaged it, not because Zaoyou was lazy!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zaoyou put her hands on her hips with an air of self-righteousness.
