Ruan Chen suddenly sat up in bed, screamed, broke out in a cold sweat, and felt her heart pounding wildly.
The Land of Chaos.
This name sounds so familiar.
And then there were the old man's terms like "weight," "complete purity," "ability," and "mental fluctuations"...
"Miss, you're awake." A glass of water at just the right temperature was handed to Ruan Chen.
Ruan Chen took the water and gulped down half a cup in one go. "Grandpa Wenlou, what are you doing here? Where are we?"
Ruan Wenlou gently patted Ruan Chen's back to calm her racing heartbeat. "We're at the Ye family's villa now. That day, you were almost strangled to death by Ruan Qin, but at that very moment, a bolt of lightning struck Ruan Qin, and you and he were taken to the hospital. You've been in a coma for a week."
Ruan Chen looked around; the room was decorated in a gentle and beautiful style. "The Ye family's villa?"
“A week ago, the Ruan family officially declared the second young lady dead.”
"My mom made it?"
"Madam was worried that you would encounter danger if you went back, so she took this opportunity to send you away. Madam also asked me to pass on a message to you—she said that she is waiting for you to return to the Ruan family. Also, I just received news that Ruan Qin, who was in a deep coma for seven days, has also woken up today."
Ruan Chen felt that every muscle in her body was sore, and she asked again, "Grandpa Wenlou, why are you here?"
The elderly man with gray hair smiled nonchalantly, "I resigned. I think following a young lady might bring me more surprises."
Ruan Chen was eager to start a normal life, but under Ruan Wenlou's insistence, she was forced to undergo a month of rehabilitation at the Ye family villa. Ye Huanhuan hired a professional medical team for her to ensure that Ruan Chen's body fully recovered.
During this month, Ruan Chen was certainly not idle; he spent every day at the Prism Club.
Only here can she find a worthy opponent.
Her ranking in the Prism Club also skyrocketed from over 3,000th when she first registered to 98th.

First Military Academy Research Institute.
A high-level meeting was in progress when the tightly closed door was suddenly pushed open.
Those present were all top talents in the country. When the meeting was interrupted, people frowned and looked towards the door.
The person who pushed open the door was Secretary Liu, who was in charge of talent screening. He held up the screen in his hand and said loudly, "Breaking news! The account of 'R,' which was declared dead by the system, has started to be active again!"
Some people pressed further, asking, "Did her family or friends log into her account?"
Secretary Liu shook his head, "We thought so at first too, but... her ranking jumped from 3,125th to 98th! I think it must be 'R' herself manipulating it!"
The small conference room immediately erupted into chaos.
"Old Chen, weren't your two star students also selected through Prism? What were their rankings?"
"One is 130 and the other is 91, but my two lads are a full ten years older than 'R'!"
"Brother Chen, I remember 'R' also studied at Huating Academy. Your son has been studying at Huating for several years, and you've never heard him mention that there's such a famous person at their school?"
A handsome man in military uniform said, “My rascal hasn’t come back for the past few years. He’s the same age as ‘R’, but he’s only ranked around 700th in Prism.”
Secretary Liu looked at the institute director sitting at the front and asked, "Director Nan, should we take some protective measures for this girl?"
Nan Jing is the director of the research institute of the First Military Academy of China and one of the pillars of the country.
He pondered for a long time before asking, "Is 'R's' IP still in Jingzhou?"
"exist."
"Give Ah Lin a heads-up and ask him to keep an eye on things."
"yes."

The Fu family's old residence.
Fu Lin knocked on his youngest son's door. "Jianzhi, Jianzhi, open the door for Dad. There's news about your sister Ruan Chen! She's alright!"
Fu Jianzhi suddenly flung open the door.
Fu Lin squatted down and showed him her phone screen. "Look, this is a message your Uncle Nan Jing just sent to Dad. Isn't this your sister Ruan Chen in the photo?"
Fu Jianzhi stared intently at the photo with his big, dark eyes. The photo was taken from an overhead angle by a drone, showing Ruan Chen learning to play golf from an elderly man with gray hair.
Her movements were not quite standard, and were somewhat awkward and clumsy.
Fu Jianzhi's lips, which had been drooping for almost a month, finally curled up a little.
Fu Lin was moved to tears: After a month, the young master finally smiled.
As for this Ruan Chen, this girl is really something else. I don't know how she caught Nan Jing's eye, but he actually personally ordered me to take care of her.

In November, heavy snow was already falling in Jingzhou.
On the day the results of the National Mathematics Competition in China were released, the entrance of Huating Public School was crowded with students who wanted to watch the excitement.
"I feel like my idol Ruan Qin could easily get a national ranking, since he's already been admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital without taking the entrance exam."
"Don't underestimate our school beauty, do you? Ruan Yunhan was also admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital through a special admission program."
"Didn't Ruan Qin take a month off from school before?"
"Didn't you hear about the scandals surrounding the school beauty when she first entered the university? Apparently, she's a liar and even beat up her own younger sister."
"Someone must be spreading rumors to smear our school beauty. With her temperament, how could she do such a thing? Don't listen to those baseless rumors."
Ruan Qin and Ruan Yunhan stood quietly side by side at the back of the crowd, waiting for the red list to be posted.
Wearing a brightly colored padded jacket, Ruan Yu'er squeezed through the crowd, took Ye Huanhuan's hand, and asked, "Mom, what brings you here to pick me up today?"
"Mom, come and see the rankings for the math competition."
Ruan Yu'er pouted and glared resentfully at the brother and sister in the other direction. "Mom, why are you bothering with them! When I grow up, I'll participate too, and I'll definitely win first place nationwide!"
"Okay, Mom will wait."
Ruan Yu'er suddenly hugged Ye Huanhuan's neck tightly and whispered, "Mom, I miss my brother and sister."
“My brother went to training camp, he’ll be home for winter break… As for my sister,” Ye Huanhuan said with a mysterious smile, “she’ll be here soon too.”
Finally, two teachers from Huating Public School came out carrying a roll of red paper.
The red paper was slowly unfurled, and everyone held their breath, except for Ruan Qin and Ruan Yunhan, who wore confident smiles.
Ruan Yunhan ranked seventh in the province and ninety-eighth in the country.
Chen Mohan ranked fourth in the province and seventy-seventh in the country.
Ruan Qin ranked second in the province and forty-third in the country.
Ruan Chen ranked first in the province and thirteenth in the country.
