The next day.

Lin Yan called Dai Chun's secretary Lü Lai, early in the morning to ask him to help with the moving.

Dai Chun should give him an explanation. He took this matter very seriously, and after making the call, he personally rushed over to Lin Yan's house.

Lin Yuanhe didn't go to work today because it was the weekend; his whole family was waiting at home.

Lin Yan originally thought that he was just an ordinary teacher at that school, not a homeroom teacher or anything like that. Moreover, he hadn't been very happy at the school for the past two years after having a falling out with a teacher in the academic affairs office. Anyway, now that the new semester had just started, he was advised to just resign.

Lin Yuanhe hesitated for a moment, only saying that he would think about it.

"Knock knock knock—"

There was a knock on the door.

Lin Yan opened the door, and outside stood Dai Chun's secretary Lü Lai.

Lin Yan welcomed him in.

"Secretary Lü, thank you for your help this time."

Lü Lai smiled and said, "It's nothing, no trouble at all. Are you all ready?"

Lin Yuanhe was shocked when he saw Lü Lai in his military uniform with the epaulettes of Senior Colonel. He thought that if a secretary could be of this rank, he must be the leader Dai Chun that Lin Yan had mentioned.

But as Lü Lai said, is it really necessary for Dai Chun's secretary to handle such a small matter personally?

He looked at his son with no expression of being flattered or surprised, and spoke to Lü Lai normally.

"It's ready."

There's really nothing to prepare. Most of the things in this house are unnecessary; you can just buy them when you get there.

"Alright, Lin Yan, just follow me in your car. I've already made all the arrangements for the living area."

"OK."

Lin Yan carried luggage in one hand and held Lin Tangtang in the other, while Qiu Baihui led the little yellow dog. They walked out the door, and Lin Yuanhe looked around the house where he had lived for decades, feeling somewhat sentimental.

This small space is filled with the frustration of a middle-aged man, and also with the warmth of this family over the years.

He went outside, closed the door, and locked it.

The warmth remains, but the melancholy has been swept away.

Lin Yan followed behind Lü Lai's car. The military region's family living area was not in the main urban area of Tianjing, and it was actually quite remote. However, the supporting facilities were complete, and the educational and medical resources were of a very high standard.

In front of us was a horizontal barrier gate, with four fully armed soldiers standing guard on the side.

However, they were not stopped; the barrier was raised before their vehicle even reached the checkpoint.

Their license plate numbers and personal information have been added to the computer system, which can identify them.

Of course, this is just the simplest and most basic information. Given Lin Yan's current status, there are very few people who are qualified to see his detailed file.

After entering the residential area, their speed decreased, and squads of soldiers standing guard and patrolling along the roads were everywhere.

The greenery here is excellent. Lin Yan also saw a large park by the roadside, with complete facilities, lush trees, vibrant flowers and plants, small bridges and streams, rockeries and lakes. The morning light was perfect, and many elderly people were exercising there.

In this place, the identities of these elderly people are hard to define.

Some people might even be treated with great politeness by Dai Chun.

Ordinary residential buildings are five stories high, but Lü Lai drove straight through this area and arrived at a villa district.

The environment is quiet and elegant.

Security was much tighter here; they had to have their documents checked and register before entering. Then, the two cars parked in front of a small villa.

Lü Lai smiled at Lin Yan and said, "This place isn't for ordinary people; I'm almost qualified."

"Look at that villa, that's Chief Dai's home."

He pointed and said it was not far away.

Lin Yan himself was somewhat surprised.

They moved all their belongings inside. The villa had two floors and a courtyard. Although no one lived there, the flowers, plants, and trees inside were clearly well-maintained, giving it a rather poetic feel. Including the basement, the total area was over 500 square meters.

The furniture and appliances are all readily available.

Lin Tangtang ran around inside, while Qiu Baihui followed behind to take care of her.

Lü Lai sighed, "Brother Lin Yan, I don't know what great thing you've done. I haven't seen anyone else in all these years who values you so much."

Only a handful of people knew about his Mental Master and the Coenzyme R3V extraction process. Lü Lai could only sense from Dai Chun and Jia Yi's attitudes that he must have done something extraordinary.

After all, his family situation is quite obvious, so it's definitely not due to that reason.

Lin Yan simply smiled and did not respond directly.

"Brother Lü, you'll know about these things later."

Lü Lai himself knew that since he didn't know, it must be because the leaders wanted to keep it a secret, so Lin Yan naturally wouldn't answer his question.

Lü Lai smiled and said, "Then my mission is complete. It's time for me to go back. I had already taken care of all the necessary procedures before you returned to Tianjing. I wish you a pleasant life!"

Lin Yuanhe said, "Secretary Lü, please stay for lunch before you leave."

"No need, you're too kind."

Lin Yan thanked him, saying, "Thank you for today."

Lü Lai chuckled and said, "It's nothing. I think it's just a break. Call me whenever something happens."

After watching Lü Lai walk away, Lin Yuanhe asked, "Lin Yan, what great thing have you done to deserve this treatment?"

He heard it clearly: Dai Chun's secretary, Senior Colonel, was not qualified enough to live here, yet they moved in so easily.

Moreover, the fact that Chief Dai's home is not far from here further illustrates the point.

Lin Yan said, "We have rules, so we can't tell you now, but anyway, it's a good thing."

"Let's tidy this up. I'll go buy whatever we need now."

Lin Tangtang had very sharp ears, and immediately stuck her head out, rushing towards Lin Yan and saying in a coquettish tone, "Brother, I want to go too!"

"Okay, okay, I'll take you there."

Life then became peaceful.

Lin Yan took care of everything here and completed the enrollment procedures for Tangtang. At first, she pouted and looked unhappy, but when he picked her up from school, he saw that she was already having a lot of fun.

Lin Yuanhe eventually quit his job, since he couldn't go back to work so far away.

However, he couldn't stay idle, so Lin Yan had to Lü Lai to arrange a new job for him.

He confessed some things to his parents and transferred 100 million yuan to their account. After all, the cost of living here is higher, and they didn't have much savings. They were a little stunned at the time.

Only then did Lin Yuanhe realize what Lin Yan meant by "very rich".

Afterwards, Wang Bing and Wei Xinran also contacted him. They had suffered no damage in the beast tide war and had both successfully become martial artists, which was commendable. They were now applying for early graduation assessment at university. He had promised to treat them to a meal before, and now he could make up for it.

Several other classmates also participated in the gathering.

As for Lin Yan himself, he doesn't need to take the graduation exam anymore, and he doesn't care about it much. He hasn't even asked about it. In fact, he has already graduated and his personal file has been taken away.

In his spare time, he also visited Dai Chun and four other members of parliament.

Liu Mingxuan also trained very hard under Deng Jun's tutelage. He had already reached the third level of the Po Jun Sword. The first three levels were the simplest, and he had experience in All Things Severed, so it was not difficult for him to master them.

He used to live in the North District, which made it difficult to contact his girlfriend, Wang Xinyue. Now that they live in the main urban area, they are much closer and their relationship is developing very well.

However, Lin Yan still spends most of his time cultivating.

Occasionally, they also venture into the Wilderness Area to hunt monsters.

Autumn arrived quickly.

The spots for the Elite Training Camp have been secured, Jia Yi has been informed that he will officially enter the Training Camp on December 1st. It's already November.

Second floor, practice room.

Lin Yan threw a punch, Punch Strength Tester displayed "34515kg!"

"In just two months, I gained 5400kg. My physical fitness is now at the level of High-level General. This rate of progress is simply incredible!"

His Guidance Technique, "Supreme Induction," has reached the level of practicing the sixth chapter. His cellular capacity for absorbing energy has increased fourteenfold, and the Jade Marrow has achieved ninety percent of the acceleration efficiency on this basis. His cultivation effect is twenty-six times that of the Five Hearts Facing Heaven Cultivation Method.

After witnessing his progress over this period, Lin Yan had only one thought in his mind.

—I want to raise prices!
