That evening, Xu Nan received a message from Lost Paradise.

Regarding the "Lottery Black Box Incident," the Daily Council will soon conduct an on-site interrogation of the relevant personnel from the Fourth Alchemy Center. As victims, they have invited Xu Nan to attend the hearing.

According to the Daily Council, they attach great importance to Xu Nan's essay and have conducted an in-depth investigation into the matter. They have reached a conclusion and will definitely give Xu Nan a satisfactory answer.

Xu Nan pondered that, judging from the wording of the Daily Council, this matter should have nothing to do with him. He was still the victim. At most, there was a flaw in hanging up the underwear for sale, but otherwise, there should be no problem.

So he accepted the invitation without any qualms.

When they entered Lost Paradise, the Daily Council's questioning of Rao, the main person in charge of the Fourth Alchemy Center, had already reached a fever pitch.

"Because of Mr. Xu Nan's outstanding performance, the inventory of your Fourth Alchemy Center's activity warehouse has shrunk significantly, which gave you the motivation to humiliate him with underwear."

In the Daily Council, a tall, impeccably dressed middle-aged man sternly questioned:

"Do you admit that your actions have crossed the line for employees of Lost Paradise?"

A group of alchemists on the stage wore wry smiles.

They couldn't possibly count how many of these things there were.

Finally, most of the underwear was found in the event warehouse, which explains why Xu Nan had underwear in his possession. The lottery system automatically draws items from the event warehouse, which is why Lina was drawn by Xu Nan in the first place.

But they are truly innocent!

"Council Speaker, even if we have the motive to humiliate Mr. Xu Nan, we are all rational."

"Would a rational alchemist retaliate against him using such despicable means?"

A young alchemist was still arguing his case, while the others just shook their heads with wry smiles.

Xu Nan also felt that something was not quite right.

When they were selling their underwear, these sorcerers seemed quite unhappy; their acting skills couldn't be that convincing.

"Poor fellow."

A squirrel hopped over, climbed onto Xu Nan's shoulder, and looked at him with pity. "He doesn't know he's destined to be the scapegoat."

It's Mr. Smith.

Xu Nan tactfully handed over a jar of Lao Gan Ma and casually asked, "How is Mr. Luo Mang?"

"Great, I'll grind the Abyss in the morning, fight in Hell in the afternoon, and if I have nothing to do at night, I'll go to the World God Kingdom to rob some women... Ugh, never mind."

Mr. Smith cautiously looked around, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no eyes or ears watching.

"The only slightly unpleasant thing is that a few days ago, on Ansu Li Da Rao's recommendation, he watched a few movies from Earth, and after watching them, he tore up the DVD..."

Xu Nan asked in surprise, "What's going on?"

Mr. Smith shook his head. "Who knows? He was yelling as he tore it up that these people violated his portrait rights and didn't pay him..."

Xu Nan thought for a moment, "Is that movie 'The Lord of the Rings the Bananas'?"

The squirrel shook its head. "Wrong."

Xu Nan was a little puzzled.

The squirrel corrected. "That movie is 'The Lord of the Rings'."

Xu Nan: "..."

On the stage, the sorcerers were still being questioned by the Council Speaker.

Xu Nan gradually realized that something was wrong:

"These sorcerers... they don't seem to be doing this on purpose."

The squirrel looked at him like he was an idiot. "Of course it wasn't intentional. Who would give their underwear to someone else? Even though Ron Sorcerer is a pervert, he wouldn't do something like that."

"There's more to this story than meets the eye. The culprit is someone with a powerful background. They need to find a scapegoat. Anyway, it has nothing to do with you. You're quite lucky. After hearing about this, Mr. Luo Mang put in a good word for you with the Daily Council. The Daily Council will probably give you a decent amount of compensation."

"After all, this is also an accident in Lost Paradise."

Upon hearing about the compensation, Xu Nan was overjoyed and didn't bother to care about the turmoil behind it all, since he was just a character in the story.

After chatting with Mr. Smith for a while, Xu Nan heard her name called on the stage and hurriedly stood up.

"Mr. Xu Nan, the Daily Council expresses its deepest sympathy and regret regarding your ordeal. We hope this will not happen again. Lost Paradise is a civilized place, and we hope you will find a sense of home here."

"Ron Sorcerer should help each other. We encourage healthy competition in any way and eliminate all malicious rivalry."

"Regarding the verdict in this incident: We hope that you will return those underwear to Lost Paradise for disposal, and we will compensate you with one million Constant Gold Coin and a Bloodline Fruit."

"The one million Constant Gold Coin will be paid by the Fourth Alchemy Center, the Bloodline Fruit will be provided by our Daily Council, and as compensation for mental distress, you, as a first-tier sorcerer, will gain early access to the intelligence consulting services of [MI7]."

Are you satisfied with this result?

One million Constant Gold Coin? The sudden influx of wealth made Xu Nan a little dizzy.

You know, he made his fortune by reselling points and materials, and that's how he accumulated over 100,000 Constant Gold Coin!

So, is staging accidents to extort money the most?

Xu Nan had no complaints whatsoever. He couldn't possibly sell all those underwear; who knew how many people he would offend? As for the Bloodline Fruit and the intelligence business, they were completely unexpected windfalls.

Xu Nan nodded repeatedly, like a chicken pecking at rice. "Satisfied, very satisfied..."

Yu Guangzhong saw the ashen faces of the alchemists at the neighboring alchemy center and suddenly felt a pang of pity:

"Speaker of the Council Speaker ...I..."

"Since you are satisfied, please go and collect your compensation." The Council Speaker resolutely interrupted Xu Nan.

Xu Nan left dejectedly.

Mr. Smith leaned closer and said, "Don't worry, these sorcerers won't be punished too severely."

"You're still too young. Ron Sorcerer are the least likely to fight amongst themselves. The rule of Lost Paradise is that everyone is a brother or sister, with no distinction of rank. These sorcerers took the blame for that important figure, and the rewards they received in private will probably make you green with envy! Do you think the Lion King is the kind of person who's stingy with his subordinates... Ugh, I seem to have missed something... Anyway, don't take it to heart. Look at those sorcerers, except for that naive young man, the rest of them are secretly laughing..."

Xu Nan glanced back and confirmed that it was indeed as Mr. Smith had said.

It seems that the so-called questioning was just a formality.

He suddenly became curious: who exactly orchestrated this "underwear incident"?

Unfortunately, it seemed that the authorities intended to downplay the matter, so Xu Nan couldn't pursue it any further.

Accompanied by the squirrel, Xu Nan went to collect one million Constant Gold Coin. He then went to the trading market and bought a lot of useful items.

That's why money disappears so quickly. One million Constant Gold Coin, barely warmed up, were already half gone because of Xu Nan's extravagant shopping spree.

The most expensive item is a genuine Meteor 009 Magic Carpet, not produced by Lost Paradise, but the original one that alchemists bought from Stephen Sang for research!

The genuine 009 is extremely fast, with a top speed of 400 km/h. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds. It also comes with a bathroom module, a music module, a combat module... Needless to say, its quality is top-notch!

Compared to the tractor that Senior Jiang was holding, which could only go 30 miles per hour, this thing is a real airplane!

The only downside is that it consumes too much power!

The senior's magic carpet only needs a little magic to fly for a very long time, while the genuine Meteor 009 consumes an emerald the size of a baby's fist for every hour of flight!

"It's true what they say, only the rich can do whatever they want!"

Xu Nan sighed and quietly bought a hundred sets of emeralds as backup energy, which made Mr. Smith envious.

It must be said that the alchemical items in the Lost Paradise Trading Center can play a significant role in battle.

Xu Nan had already tasted the benefits of using Molotov cocktails, so naturally he wouldn't miss the opportunity.

Why engage in a brutal and savage battle when you can use money to overwhelm your enemy?

Be elegant.

When Xu Nan came out of the trading center, Mr. Smith's conjunctivitis was about to flare up. Fortunately, Xu Nan promptly handed him another box of Three Squirrels dried fruit as a token of respect, and the latter left happily.

Xu Nan returned to Leomund's Hut with satisfaction.

His Bloodline Power wouldn't last much longer, otherwise he would have liked to go and see the so-called "MI7".

"I've heard that Lost Paradise's intelligence network is quite famous!"

As Xu Nan was thinking this, she suddenly discovered that there was a sleeping baby girl on her bed!

Lina!

He hurriedly opened the system, only to find that the Lion King's private message had already arrived!

Xu Nan read it through once, and felt a chill run down her spine.

It turns out that in order to please his wife, the Lion King went on a trip to the Astral Realm with her, leaving Lina behind. Remembering Xu Nan's excellent childcare performance, the Lion King decided to entrust Lina to Xu Nan again.

This time, the payment is based on the hour.

Each hour costs 1,000 Constant Gold Coin, which is three times more expensive than hiring a postpartum nanny inside Lost Paradise.

Xu Nan was on the verge of tears, terrified that if he woke the baby girl up and yelled at her, he would faint on the spot again.

He thought about it and realized that Jiang Yuanchi was the only woman in Leomund's Hut.

Women always have a unique advantage when it comes to taking care of children, right?

With this in mind, Xu Nan took the child and knocked on Jiang Yuanchi's door.

Senior Jiang was wearing pajamas, peeked out and was stunned when she saw the child.

"It's not what you think. It's not my child. I was just asked to help take care of it."

Xu Nan spoke quickly, "But I'm really not good at taking care of children. Senior, can you help me? By the way, this child is very fierce, so please don't let her cry."

Jiang Yuanchi patted his chest, indicating that there was no problem.

She seemed to like Lina a lot too.

After Xu Nan handed the child over to Jiang Yuanchi, she was finally able to go back to her room to sleep.

The next room.

On the soft, large bed, the baby girl blinked and woke up.

Jiang Yuanchi teased Lina with a smile:

"Cute, what's your name?"

"Never mind, you can't speak anyway."

"How about Elder Sister teach you a special skill?"

Electricity flickered in her hands.

The baby girl blinked.

...!
