It was already late when Lin Yiran rushed back from the training room. She washed up and went to bed, and then began her busy life of attending classes at school.

It has to be said that after Senran's special training, Lin Yiran's strength has increased a lot, and she no longer has to face the questioning looks from others when training with them at school.

They didn't mean any harm; they just hadn't seen anyone with such weak strength before, so they took a few extra glances.

Fortunately, after Senran's special training, her strength returned to normal and her physical fitness improved significantly, earning high praise from her teacher.

A month passed just like that.

Lin Yiran was eating in the cafeteria with Jin Shuo, Han Bing, and An Peipei next to her. The four of them had become regular meal buddies, and of course, they ate all the food that Lin Yiran cooked, which she was happy to provide for them.

After finishing their meal, Jin Shuo and the others left because they still had training. Only An Peipei and Lin Yiran remained in the cafeteria. They were art students and had plenty of time, so it was okay for them to eat slowly.

After taking a bite of the cucumber salad, An Peipei squinted her eyes contentedly. She asked Lin Yiran, "I heard that the military academy league starts in a month. Oh dear, I'm so nervous. I don't know if I can make it into the school team. I really want to fight alongside Han Bing."

Lin Yiran: "How's your training going lately?" Getting into the school team requires real ability; it's not something she can just decide to do. However, An Peipei's skills are decent, even though she looks round, chubby, and cute.

However, she is a real "muscle Barbie," much stronger than Lin Yiran. She has been trained since childhood, and her desire to pursue her crush is irresistible. She works very hard and ranks well in Lin Yiran's class.

even,

To be honest...

In the last diagnostic test conducted by the teacher, An Peipei scored significantly higher than herself.

You should be the one worrying.

An Peipei: "It's so-so. My father hired a coach to give me extra training, and although he says I'm training well, I still feel insecure."

Lin Yiran: "You have to trust him. Your strength should not be underestimated."

An Peipei: "But my cooking is terrible! Aren't logistics soldiers supposed to be cooks? With my poor cooking skills, I'd be eliminated in the first round."

Lin Yiran: "That's easy. I'll teach you two dishes that you can't go wrong with later. Just make these two dishes when the school team competes, and I guarantee you'll pass."

An Peipei's eyes widened in surprise. She pulled Lin Yiran's neck and kissed her on the cheek, making Lin Yiran stunned for a moment. However, knowing that An Peipei was just like that, she didn't think much of it.

"Hey? You own a shop, right? How's it going? You must be making a lot of money, right? Last time I took my dad to your restaurant, we waited in line for ages, the business was booming!"

Lin Yiran's wrist-mounted computer beeped twice. She glanced at the report sent at the end of the month, which showed that the revenue of Lin Yiran's restaurants and various small shops had reached a new high!

Since opening, the number of people has been increasing, and there hasn't been a single day without a break. Just as An Peipei said, everyone has to queue up, and the reservation slots are already booked a month in advance.

Lin Yiran replied, "It's alright, it's quite profitable."

More than that?!

Lin Yiran checked the balance in her Star Brain. A month had passed, and the balance in her Star Brain had reached a level she couldn't have imagined.

Many, many hundred million.

With six shops—one food shop, one cake shop, and the rest restaurants—the revenue was beyond her wildest imagination. This was certainly something to be happy about; she could be considered a small-time rich woman now, right?

Now that she's a little rich, there are some things that need to be put on the agenda as soon as possible. After finishing her meal, Lin Yiran went to the Interstellar Housing Trading Center alone. She was going to buy everything she needed. Right now, what she needed most was a place of her own.

She felt a little embarrassed to always stay in Murong Zaiye's house. He wouldn't accept money from her, and giving him more would make Lin Yiran seem too polite.

However, knowing that Murong Zaiye was a mecha pilot, she asked Lin Fu to inquire around and brought back a piece of rare metal that was quite valuable. She planned to give it to him when she returned the house key, as a small token of her appreciation.

The metal was in her hands, ready and all that was left was a house of her own.

Lin Yiran arrived at the housing transaction center alone. She was greeted by a pretty young lady named Mandy, who had a sweet voice and always spoke softly to Lin Yiran as she introduced the houses.

Lin Yiran was carefully looking through the house models and pictures, meticulously comparing their locations; she wanted a house near the sea.

"Tch, only Mandy would be willing to entertain someone like that. Look at what that girl is wearing, isn't it? She's wearing the uniform of the First Military Academy, right? She came out in her uniform, how rude of her! And her clothes are all tattered, does she not have money to buy new clothes?"

"Don't say that. They might actually be rich, what if they're a hidden millionaire? You can't judge a book by its cover."

"So what if they judge people by their appearance? They're just a bunch of poor students from another star system. Housing prices in this capital city are so high, they could never afford a house even if they worked their whole lives! And they still came all this way to come and see us. Aren't they ashamed?"

"Honestly, I've seen plenty of poor students like them. They can't afford to buy it, but people come to see them every day, saying they want to encourage them and cheer them on, saying that maybe if they work hard, they can afford it."

"Hmph, if you ask me, some things are predetermined from the moment you're born. If you can't afford them when you're a child, you still can't afford them when you're an adult. You might as well train hard and wait to join the army. The Federation will provide you with housing. What are you looking at? What's so interesting?"

They were talking so loudly that Lin Yiran could hear them clearly. What were they dressed like? What was she dressed like?

So he looked down at himself.

Well, okay, it is a bit weird.

The reason was that Lin Yiran had just finished training in the training room, and after taking a shower, she casually put on her clean but torn school uniform. The uniform had been torn a few times during the last training session, and she hadn't had time to sew it up yet.

In addition, after washing her hair, it was casually tied up without any decoration.

This looks somewhat messy.

However, Lin Yiran didn't think much of it. She always dressed like this when she went out before the apocalypse; it was very casual and comfortable.

However, interstellar people are quite particular, and they always dress meticulously when they go out. Her appearance, on the other hand, seems to be a bit too casual.

No wonder others look down on you.
