"Thank you! Thank you!" Lin Xiaoran accepted the flowers and thanked everyone.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lin!"
" God Ran! You've worked so hard! Thank you for winning another victory for us!"
Several people took turns congratulating Lin Xiaoran on her victory.
Lin Xiaoran shook her head and said, "No need to say that, it's all what I should do!"
She was the chosen challenger, with no other choice but to forge ahead.
It was for the sake of Country L, and also so that she could survive.
"Anyway, you've worked hard. Come on! I'll show you your new place!" Jiang Jiayou invited.
"New place to live?"
"Yes! This place is still too small! So we've cleared out another space for you! It's been cleaned up these past few days!"
"No need, I'm perfectly fine here." Lin Xiaoran hadn't expected that she would have to move again after only two nights in her new home.
Without a doubt, the new place will be much better than this!
"No way! You're our hero! It's beneath you to live here! If it weren't for the limited conditions at the base, we would definitely give you the best!" Jiang Jiayou said righteously, as if he would not give up until Lin Xiaoran moved into her new home today!
Several people nearby chimed in, "Lin, please go over there. This is our token of appreciation!"
"That's right! We can't help you in the game, but outside, we'll make sure you're comfortable and satisfied!"
"The new place isn't far, it's right next door. It's a small building, and everything inside is already set up. There's even a dedicated team there!"
Seeing how resolute the people in front of her were, Lin Xiaoran couldn't refuse any longer, lest they misunderstand her as difficult to get along with.
Since changing locations won't necessarily hurt me, I should just accept it and enjoy it!
"Alright, then I'll trouble you to lead the way."
Jiang Jiayou laughed and said, "Haha! How could it be troublesome! We'd love to do something!"
That's exactly what I'm saying!
"Let's go! Let's go take a look!"
There was a long queue in the corridor, but as Lin Xiaoran came out, everyone instinctively leaned against the wall and greeted Lin Xiaoran with smiles.
Once inside the elevator, Lin Xiaoran felt like her face was about to freeze from smiling for those few short minutes!
"Don't mind us, everyone is just so happy. If we didn't come to see you, we probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight!" Jiang Jiayou explained to Lin Xiaoran why they were there.
"Really, there's no need to go to all that trouble." Lin Xiaoran remained silent.
"You don't understand." Che Yisi shook his head and said, "This time you not only broke your own record again, but especially the final national fortune reward brought great benefits to Country L and everyone else."
More importantly, it has once again made other countries look at us with new respect! To put it bluntly, it has severely dampened the arrogance of some people!
Han Wenju said, "Exactly! They're feeling sour right now!"
"However, this also puts you in the eye of the storm, and more people will hate you and want to get rid of you! But don't worry, this is Country L, the National Fortune Bureau! We will definitely protect you!" Jiang Jiayou assured him.
Three new military teams have been added to the base, one of which is equipped with the Class A weapons acquired last time, ensuring Lin Xiaoran's safety without fail.
Outside, security personnel were on guard, investigating anyone who tried to approach or inquire about Lin Xiaoran's whereabouts, to prevent any spies from actually finding out the information and leaking it out.
In short, Lin Xiaoran is now a Class A protected person in the country!
After all, only if Lin Xiaoran lives can Country L become stronger!
Throughout the journey, Jiang Jiayou kept sharing this information with Lin Xiaoran so that she would feel reassured and at ease.
Lin Xiaoran said she understood.
For her, unless someone throws a mushroom bomb at her, with her Gravity Manipulation and Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, she is someone that no one on Sky Blue Star can kill!
But there's no need to gossip about that.
Soon, led by Jiang Jiayou and the others, Lin Xiaoran arrived in front of a building.
This building has only three floors and was originally intended to be used as office space, but it has remained vacant because there has always been enough room.
Over the past three days, the small building has undergone a thorough cleaning and has also been simply redecorated.
Everything, including daily necessities and facilities, was new and clean; all Lin Xiaoran needed to do was move in.
As soon as I got downstairs, my assistant team, who had already been informed, lined up at the door to wait for me.
The two leading them were Xu Shuiyun and Jiang Zhixue.
Welcome home, Lin!
Welcome! Welcome!
Welcome! Welcome!
The chef, cleaner, assistant... all greeted her at once, startling Lin Xiaoran.
Wow, this is quite an eye-opener for Lin Xiaoran, who has never seen the world!
She had only ever seen such high-level treatment in TV dramas before; she never imagined that one day she would actually experience it in person!
It's like a dream!
"Lin, don't be surprised, you'll get used to it gradually!" Jiang Jiayou said with a smile.
"Ahem... Thank you so much! You're welcome!" Lin Xiaoran quickly said.
"Lin has such a nice personality!"
"Kind and approachable!"
"She's cute and pretty!"
The assistants showered her with compliments, making Lin Xiaoran blush.
"Alright, alright, everyone, let's all disperse now. Lin just got back and needs to rest!" Jiang Jiayou said, and everyone listened.
"Lin, we've prepared some food. Would you like to have something to eat first?" the head chef said, stepping forward.
"Okay." Upon hearing about food, Lin Xiaoran, who hadn't felt anything before, suddenly felt a little hungry.
The group quickly went up to the second floor and arrived at a large restaurant, where the central table was already laden with delicious food.
Jiang Jiayou, Che Yisi, Han Wenju, Chang Jian, and three other newly arrived military team leaders accompanied Lin Xiaoran to dinner.
As soon as Lin Xiaoran sat down, she realized that all the dishes were unfamiliar!
But it smells so good! She's even hungrier now!
"Lin, don't be shy, eat as much as you want! There's plenty!"
"Okay!" She didn't bother with formalities; she couldn't let the delicious food go to waste!
Speaking of which, ever since Lin Xiaoran drew Yixiao's Gravity Manipulation, her appetite has increased significantly. After receiving the blessing of the National Fortune reward, and this time drawing the Sharingan, Chakra, and the new reward: a 50% increase in physique, her appetite has more than doubled again!
That's enough to say they've reached the standard of an ordinary person in the One Piece world.
In other words, after training, Lin Xiaoran will be able to successfully master Armament Haki and swordsmanship, becoming a master!
This is great news!
Fortunately, Lin Xiaoran had learned exercise techniques from Yi Xiao beforehand.
At the table, Jiang Jiayou and the others watched in disbelief as Lin Xiaoran silently ate more and more, eventually finishing all the dishes on the table!
You should know, they barely touched their food; they were just there to keep Lin Xiaoran company!
So, how did Lin Xiaoran's appetite become so big!?
While they have improved their physical condition, their appetites have increased, and their strength has grown, it can't be this exaggerated, can it?!
They were all stunned!
