Find the missing number?

9
3
6
1

The answer is $\boxed{3}$.

The missing number is the number that completes the following pattern:

$1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, \boxed{18}, 21, 24, 27, 30$

This is a simple arithmetic sequence with a common difference of $3$. In other words, each term is $3$ more than the term before it. Therefore, the missing number is $3$ more than the last number in the sequence, which is $15$.
