Bonita's Evaluation
Boundary King Star, located in the center of the Boundary River, is the largest habitable planet within the entire Boundary River and also the most famous tourist destination.
This is also the planet where Camilla's Poison Scorpion Pirate Crew has long been stationed. Unlike other planets within the Boundary River, only Camilla's Poison Scorpion Pirate Crew has the right to reside on this Interstellar Pirate. Moreover, without Camilla's permission, this is a planet where no members of the Federal Army are allowed to visit. This is a privilege she enjoys as a viscount.
After arriving on this planet, Gu Ding planned to stay on the spaceship to continue his cultivation, but before he could even climb to the top of the spaceship, he received a call from Liliath had just disembarked.
"Get off the ship, and drag Robert out with you. Camilla has sent people to pick us up." Liliath said before hanging up the phone.
Gu Ding was taken aback. It seemed that the Duchess Camilla was very enthusiastic. After knocking on Robert's door, she explained the situation to him. Robert tidied himself up and then left.
The two got off the spaceship together and saw a black, extended Klassko parked not far away. The car window was rolled down, and Elsa waved frantically at her and Robert.
The Klassko is a vintage-styled car for the aristocracy. While not the most expensive, and not even in the top ten, its fame stems from the fact that each one is handcrafted to order, with only one model made, and orders are exclusively for those holding titles within the Federal Government. Therefore, every Klassko in the Universe Sea is unique, a symbol of status.
A tall, slender woman in a neat dress stood beside the car door. She wasn't particularly beautiful, but she wasn't ugly either. However, she possessed a unique air about her, giving the impression of excellent manners. She gestured for Gu Ding to proceed from a distance.
Gu Ding nodded, smiled at her, and pulled Robert into the car.
"How did you know we were arriving today?" Gu Ding asked casually.
"The day the boss sent out the invitations, she had some of her sisters wait at the port. We felt it would be impolite to let the guests stay in hotels, and besides, we have plenty of rooms available for those who received invitations." The tall, thin woman's voice didn't match her appearance; another woman was driving. When the tall, thin woman answered Gu Ding's question, she deliberately turned her head to look into Gu Ding's eyes, a faint smile on her face.
"Big Sister? Is that what you all call her?" Liliath was immediately intrigued. Being called "Big Sister" sounded really cool to her.
"Yes, Camilla likes to be called Big Sister, that's what everyone in the entire Boundary River calls her. Including the captains of other Pirate Crew, everyone has gotten used to it over the years." The tall, thin woman nodded. "You've just arrived in the Boundary River. If you're not used to it, it's okay to just call her by her name, she won't mind."
"Sister Bonita, are there any fun places to Boundary King Star?" Liliath was very sweet-talking, even calling him "sister" right away. The tall, slender woman had obviously introduced herself before Gu Ding disembarked.
"Boundary King Star is a tourist destination with many interesting attractions. However, there are a few places I personally think are a must-see." Bonita's mood brightened slightly upon hearing Liliath's friendly address. "Number one on the list is the Nature Reserve. There you can see many rare species, some even found only after entering the Universe Sea. There's also a completely harmless area specifically for taking photos and recording videos; that area is inhabited by docile and harmless species..."
Bonita explained in great detail, and she got along fairly well with the members of the Gu Ding Team along the way.
When Klassko stopped, Gu Ding and his party got out of the car and looked up at the enormous palace, speechless with astonishment.
It seemed that everyone except Liliath and Robert, who didn't react much, was stunned; it was the first time they had ever truly seen such a large palace, not just a projected image from the sky.
"So big!" After thinking for a long time about the adjectives, Gu Ding finally uttered these two simple words.
Bonita didn't seem surprised by Gu Ding and the others' reaction; she simply smiled and said, "I'll take you to the guest rooms."
Leading Gu Ding and his group towards the building on the left side of the palace, she stopped in front of a door with the number 3. She simply placed her hand on the door, and it opened automatically. "There are five rooms and two bathrooms inside. You can see if you like the interior decoration style. If you don't, I'll take you to the next room."
Gu Ding and his group filed in. The room was very clean and tidy, decorated in warm colors, and had good natural light. There was also a large courtyard with a sizable swimming pool.
"I think it's great, what about you guys?" This was the first time Gu Ding had stayed in a house with a swimming pool, and he couldn't be more satisfied.
Liliath nodded with a smile, "It seems your boss really put a lot of thought into this place."
No one else had any objections.
"Alright, register your palm prints, and then you can come and go freely." Bonita said, pressing her palm on the door for a moment. A screen popped up in the center of the door. "Just place your palm on the screen, and there will be a voice prompt after it's done."
Gu Ding was the first to press the button, and in less than three seconds, he heard a female synthesized Way of Sound, "Palm print registration successful, thank you!"
Liliath and the others, including Robert, entered their palm prints one by one, and all of them received a success message.
"If you need anything, you can call my number directly," Bonita said, sending her contact number to Gu Ding's email address.
"Probably not. We'll just wander around. You guys go about your business. You'll probably be very busy these next few days, so we'll try not to bother you." Gu Ding wasn't used to causing trouble for others; he preferred to solve problems in his own way.
Bonita smiled and nodded when she heard what Gu Ding said. "The dining area is in the hall we just passed, the one with the knife, fork, and flag hanging at the entrance. Just help yourself to what you want to eat. It's open 36 hours a day, and all food and drinks are free. On a normal weekend, the restaurant would be closed for two days, but it gets quite busy during this time, so it stays open on weekends too. Considering everyone's different eating habits, this restaurant doesn't have many specialty dishes. If you want to try some specialties, you can go to Fu De Street in the city center."
"Thank you!" Elsa thanked him before Gu Ding. Food was what she cared about most, and anyone who was willing to provide free food was a good person to her, so her gratitude came from the bottom of her heart.
After leaving the room arranged for Gu Ding, Bonita headed towards the main building of the palace.
In the study of the main building, a tall White-Skirt Woman is holding a cup of coffee, bathed in sunlight by the floor-to-ceiling windows.
A knock came soon at the door of the study.
"Come in." The White-Skirt Woman didn't even turn her head. She took a small sip of coffee, licked her lips, and then said calmly.
"Boss, the Gu Ding Team has arrived. I just picked them up from the port, and their accommodations have been arranged." Bonita said with a faint smile.
"What do you think of them?" Camilla then turned around.
"They're just a bunch of innocent kids," Bonita said, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"That's a very high compliment." Camilla raised her eyebrows and put down her coffee cup. "You look very pleased."
"I just feel much more relaxed when I'm with them, and it's like I've become younger..." Bonita's expression suddenly changed when she said this. She realized that she shouldn't have brought up the topic of age, and she suddenly felt a little panicked.
Surprisingly, Camilla wasn't angry this time. She simply remained silent for a moment before asking, "Do you think I should make contact with them informally?"
"I think...this isn't a bad idea." Bonita knew what the boss meant by informal contact.
"Then let's evaluate each person, starting with Gu Ding." Camilla suddenly became interested, as Bonita usually resisted informal contact.
"How should I put it, Gu Ding is a very polite and sincere young man. His eyes are pure, like clear, clean lake water. He has a unique aura that makes people feel at ease, I don't know why I feel that way... However, I don't feel that he is very strong."
"What about that girl named Liliath?" Camilla then asked.
"She's very smart, good at reading people, and knows all kinds of etiquette. Usually, such a person would be a troublemaker in a team, because she's smart, so she's more selfish and wants to maximize her own interests. But she's not like that. She trusts the other people in the team and gets along very well with them. I feel like she treats Gu Ding like her own family, and not the kind of family that argues with them all the time, but the kind that they can rely on each other."
"That big guy must be pretty strong," Camilla continued, asking Bigge.
"At the peak of the Tenth-Order Gene Body, the Blade Intent within him is terrifying. I always felt that his previous battles did not show his true Combat Strength. In terms of personality, he is very honest and doesn't talk much, which is a bit inconsistent with the fighting style he showed in the videos."
"Where's that little robot?"
"We couldn't find any information. He seemed to be just an intelligent robot. He didn't say a word from beginning to end. Even when I was chatting with other people, he just stood there blankly."
"What about that new girl?" Camilla always felt that Elsa seemed a little unusual.
"Very strong! She's the strongest member of the Gu Ding Team..." Bonita gave a strange assessment.
