Chapter 55 Saint Lan Monastery
"Child, it's so good to see you back safe and sound." Old Zhang leaned on his cane, carefully looked Wen Qi over, and patted her shoulder.
"You are a hero in the hearts of the people of the Dragon Kingdom. In a couple of days, there will be a special ceremony to award you the national medal and honorary title. It will be broadcast live across the entire planet. You should be prepared."
Wen Qi was about to say something in rebuttal when Old Zhang cut her off.
Gu Ye also gave Wen Qi a meaningful look, hoping she would follow his instructions.
"You are already an adult. You have experienced life and death in the strange world. It was not easy to pass the level. The country will not treat you unfairly, and the people will be grateful to you."
"In addition, before the awarding ceremony, we would like to ask you some simple questions. We hope you can cooperate with the country to make some detailed records. Apart from some experience in passing the test, you should keep your talent a secret. This is for your own good."
Wen Qi nodded: "Oh, okay, I understand, I will cooperate."
She started listening somewhat absentmindedly, unsure if she would be examined herself.
"If you discover that you have a contract with a strange creature, would you hand it over for research?"
"The strange power within the body could also be a problem if abnormalities are detected."
"As for the simulator, everyone has a chance to draw a talent, and they'll most likely ask what they drew, since they got an SSS-level clear, but surely they won't be taken away, right?"
Wen Qi thought to herself that she might be the first Blue Star person to make a contract with a strange entity.
Gu Ye stepped forward at this moment and handed her a set of keys. "From today onwards, you and your brother will live in the Loongson Base. There are many suitable houses there."
"My name is Gu Ye. I am the chosen one who passed the A-level test in the last round. I live next door to you. From now on, you will follow me. I will arrange a suitable position for you at the Loongson base and pay you a high salary."
"Huh?" Wen Qi was taken aback, her eyes filled with surprise and doubt.
Old Zhang smiled and said, "Don't be surprised. You have a special status now, and the country needs to protect you. Of course, you can still continue your studies, but the country will arrange a private teacher to teach you and your brother online classes."
"Oh, okay, so is my place big? I can't cook, could you arrange a chef for us? Also, my younger brother is very lazy, could you hire a housekeeper for my family? If I go to work, my brother might starve at home." Wen Qi asked with great interest.
"Pfft!" The people around couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Wen Qi is such a cute girl.
"There are also ten million Dragon Coins to be awarded to you on the day of the award ceremony. From now on, you and your brother won't have to worry about making money. Although it's not a lot of money, the country welcomes you to work at the Loongson Base," Gu Ye added with a smile.
"As for the chef and nanny you mentioned, we will help you screen suitable people and ensure your personal safety and the confidentiality of your information."
"The situation is special. If there are undercover agents or criminals who want to harm you, and something happens to you, it would be a loss for the country."
Wen Qi nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, she followed Mr. Zhang and Gu Ye's group to the Loongson base in secret.
The house I lived in before was rented, in the suburbs of Shanghai.
The siblings earn money by having Wen Qi act as an NPC in escape rooms and haunted houses, and by having Wen Jiu livestream herself playing games.
Under Gu Ye's arrangement, Wen Qi returned the house here.
She never expected that achieving an SSS-level clear would attract the attention of Chief Zhang, who personally came to greet her.
Along the way, Wen Qi learned about the rewards she had received, how many difficulties she had helped the Dragon Kingdom overcome, and how many people she had inspired.
The news of her return from the bizarre world also caused the internet to crash, and the internet exploded.
Previously, when Wen Qi was still in the dungeon world, due to national control and data encryption, no one dared to dig into Wen Qi's information.
Now that she's back as a hero, people are starting to post Wen Qi's photos on Weibo.
Of course, these are all group photos with my roommates and classmates.
...
While the Dragon Kingdom was celebrating, several smaller countries were on the verge of annihilation.
Earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis; car accidents, fires, explosions; hospital ghost stories, zoo ghost stories, Mount Daluo ghost stories, dormitory ghost stories, crematorium ghost stories, monastery ghost stories, etc.
These things are happening in other countries on Earth, everywhere there is death and wailing.
Apart from the Dragon Kingdom, only a dozen or so other countries on the entire planet Earth are not suffering from dire straits.
However, they continue to face a series of problems caused by resource depletion and environmental degradation.
Although the Dragon Kingdom has always been willing to lend a helping hand to friendly neighbors and countries with which it has reached cooperation agreements, in the current situation, the Dragon Kingdom has done its best to maintain good relations with its own people.
The demeanor of a great power also varies with time.
Since each country has its own isolation measures, they won't affect each other.
Everyone remembers that it was Wen Qi who won the Dragon Kingdom a place of unparalleled beauty.
...
The Loongson base is located in the very heart of Shanghai.
The buildings above ground are up to 100 stories high, and underground they are up to 1,000 meters deep.
The entire think tank works on the 30th floor underground.
The residences for all personnel at the Loongson base are divided into different levels of areas, located on the other side of the office area and relatively lower in height.
The highest level of the residence is the VIP residence, and the house awarded to Wen Qi is located on the fifth floor, while the lowest level is the ninth floor.
"Come with me, I'll take you to find Wenjiu. Old Zhang and the others still have to go back to work. You should rest today, and I'll pick you up tomorrow morning to do the record-keeping." Gu Ye drove Wen Qi away to another place.
Wen Qi nodded obediently. Everything felt like a dream, making her feel very unreal.
Soon, she met her twin brother, Wenjiu, who was always bickering with her.
As soon as the door opened, Wen Qi rushed forward and hugged Wen Jiu tightly, so tightly that Wen Jiu almost couldn't breathe.
"Sister, let go first, there are outsiders here!" Wen Jiu pushed her sister away forcefully, then turned Wen Qi around and checked her over before pulling her into the house.
Wen Qi looked around the mansion with curiosity. Considering the gender of the siblings, their rooms on the second floor were arranged to be far apart.
The first floor is nearly 200 square meters and is fully furnished with all kinds of furniture. It is the house Wen Qi dreamed of.
"It's good that no one is missing any limbs. I was so worried about them that they came back alive using their intelligence." Wenjiu went into the house and poured a glass of water for each of them.
"Didn't you say your sister isn't very bright, so she's excessively violent?" Gu Ye chuckled to himself, taking the opportunity to expose her.
Wen Qi: "......"
Such a thing actually happened! It's like Wenjiu is going to climb on the roof and tear off the tiles if he doesn't get beaten up every day.
However, she didn't embarrass her younger brother in front of Gu Ye, after all, Wen Jiu was just like that, she liked to insult people.
After Gu Ye left, Wen Jiu asked her older sister about her experience in the strange world.
...
"Sis, you've become smarter after going through a life-or-death ordeal," Wenjiu teased.
Wen Qi rolled her eyes at him, picked up a cushion and threw it at her brother's head. "Get lost. You never say anything nice. Can't you just say that I've always been smart? We're born from the same mother, after all."
Wenjiu: "According to what you're saying, it's normal that the other Chosen Ones basically don't survive. The effects of those masks are indeed hard to detect."
“I watched your live stream. Everyone will definitely think you drew the talent, so try to avoid appearing in public alone in the future to prevent accidents. Better safe than sorry.”
"Mm," Wen Qi replied.
She then took out two bottles of almond water from her system space, which she had saved up.
"I have some almond water that I brought back from the strange world. Tomorrow the government will definitely ask me to hand over some things. I'll only leave them one bottle for research. You should carry these two bottles with you from now on. In case you are selected as the chosen one, this almond water will provide some protection."
"Here's a nunchaku for you too. It hasn't been bound to anyone yet, so I'm not very good at handling it. Use it for self-defense. It's a terrifyingly powerful and mysterious object, so don't lose it, and don't tell anyone where you got it." Wen Qi then gave her own nunchaku to Wen Jiu.
Wenjiu pulled her sister into a hug and said, "Sister, thank you. Let's live well together."
