9: Chapter 9 Three Flowers Gather at the Top

"No need to thank me. This is my Villa, and from now on, you are one of us here, just like them."

Lin Zhou smiled, then gestured toward Jiang Wanxing and the other woman.

Qin Lan looked up at the two women; it was clear that their situation was the same as hers.

However, upon seeing their faces, she was still slightly surprised.

After all, one was a 93 and the other a 95; their beauty was no joke.

Even though she was usually very confident in her own looks, she felt a bit of pressure seeing Jiang Wanxing and the other woman.

"The injuries on your body are more severe than theirs, so we need to treat them as soon as possible. If they get infected, it will be troublesome."

Lin Zhou opened the medical kit and was about to perform the familiar action, but he was interrupted by Qin Lan shrinking her leg back.

"I... I'll do it myself!"

Qin Lan said softly as she took the iodine.

Although she had agreed to sign a contract with Lin Zhou, he was still a strange man, and she was not quite used to it.

"Then you do it! I'll go out and clear away the corpses outside. There is food and drink in the Villa, and you can all go take a good shower, then go pick out a room for yourselves."

Lin Zhou didn't say anything more.

Feelings needed to be cultivated slowly, and naturally, he couldn't force things.

[Female survivor Qin Lan has been detected entering the Villa. Do you wish to sign a Permanent Shelter Contract?]

[Qin Lan, age 24, B-Rank Talent [Strength Enhancement] (Increases own strength by 80%, can briefly burst to double strength for 10 seconds)]

[Beauty score 90 (Dashing royal sister, Fortunes Blessing bonus increased to 70%! Unlocks exclusive fortune buff: Villa melee defense increased by 20%, fortune coin rewards for killing Strange Monsters increased by 15%!)]

[Abilities: Retired female soldier from the Hangzhou Military Region, proficient in combat, firearms, and close-quarters fighting. Can train survivors in combat skills, significantly improving the overall combat power of the Villa!]

A 90-point dashing royal sister?

A 70% fortune coin bonus?

Plus an exclusive buff for melee defense and increased fortune coin rewards?

More importantly, she is proficient in combat and firearms, and can train combat capabilities?

Hearing these reports from the system, Lin Zhou's heart was beating so fast it felt like it was about to jump out.

Although her beauty score wasn't as high as Jiang Wanxing and the other woman, he was really lacking in strength right now.

If he had Qin Lan's strength, even if he had faced that Iron-Spine Wolf head-on just now, he would have been confident in handling it.

He already had speed, and ultimate ice-type attacks.

If he had the addition of strength, wouldn't he be unstoppable?

It must be said, this third goddess had brought him quite a lot of benefits.

A B-Rank Talent powerhouse, and a melee type at that, perfectly compensating for the Villa's lack of melee capabilities.

With Qin Lan here, the overall combat power of the Villa would jump up a level!

"Sign the Permanent Shelter Contract!"

Lin Zhou said without hesitation.

[Permanent Shelter Contract signed successfully!]

[Qin Lan has become an exclusive survivor of the Villa, bound by the system's mandatory constraints. She must not harbor any hostility toward the host; violators will be immediately erased!]

[Fortunes Blessing triple buff activated! Due to Qin Lan's 90-point dashing royal sister aptitude, the daily base output of fortune coins is increased by 70%. Exclusive fortune buff unlocked: Villa melee defense increased by 20%, fortune coin rewards for killing Strange Monsters increased by 15%!]

[Current total Fortunes Blessing bonus: 235%! Daily base output of fortune coins: 335 points + 20 points + 30 points + 25 points = 410 points!]

[Beauty's Unity buff upgraded again! The host can share Qin Lan's B-Rank Talent [Strength Enhancement]. Current shared effect is 30% (can briefly burst to 60% strength, lasting 10 seconds)!]

[Detected that the host is sheltering three female survivors. Triggering the [Three Flowers Gathering at the Summit] ambiguous effect. Jiang Wanxing, Professor Su Qinghan, and Qin Lan's favorability toward the host each +10. Current favorability: Jiang Wanxing 80, Professor Su Qinghan 35, Qin Lan 15!]

[Congratulations to the host for sheltering 3 female survivors. Unlocked Villa Achievement [Three Flowers Gathering at the Summit]. [Reward: 1000 fortune coins! Unlocked the Villa's underground armory! Unlocked Talent Ability [Fortune Bestowed]: All attributes of everyone in the Villa permanently increased by 10%!]]

[System Prompt: Three Flowers Gathering at the Summit, overwhelming fortune! The host's current fortune value has reached its peak. Killing Strange Monsters will have a chance to obtain rare materials and items!]

A series of system notification sounds exploded in his mind like heavenly music, making him extremely excited.

The increase in these attributes was really more exhilarating than riding a rocket!

Before he could calm down from the excitement, he immediately felt a warm current surge into his body.

This was the feeling of all attributes being permanently increased by 10%.

Strength, speed, physique, and mental power all had significant improvements.

The fortune coins also skyrocketed.

An underground armory was also unlocked, which meant they had more powerful weapons and could deal with Strange Monsters even more easily!

Feeling the surging power within his body, a confident smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

Now, even if he went head-to-head with an Iron-Spine Wolf, he would have great confidence in handling it.

It was just a little frustrating that Qin Lan was as aloof as Professor Su Qinghan.

Meanwhile, Jiang Wanxing, Professor Su Qinghan, and Qin Lan were also extremely excited.

The overall attribute increase not only caused all the wounds on their bodies to automatically heal, but their abilities were also improved by 10%.

That wasn't the main point; the point was that looking at the information on Lin Zhou's panel, their pretty faces were filled with shock.

Especially Qin Lan, who had initially thought that Lin Zhou had only survived through luck.

But after seeing Lin Zhou's attribute panel and experiencing her own changes, she was truly shocked.

She had originally thought that her B-Rank Talent Attribute was already considered quite high among the group, but seeing Lin Zhou's SSS-Rank Talent Attribute on that panel, she was completely stunned.

The young man in front of her actually possessed the strongest attribute.

Was his talent that good?

That SSS-Rank attribute was far higher than her B-Rank attribute.

To be precise, it was like heaven and earth.

The little bit of arrogance she had left in her heart now completely vanished.

In front of an SSS-Rank, what did a B-Rank count for?

Moreover, now that Lin Zhou possessed their strength, just by that alone, he was already an incredibly heaven-defying existence.

And now, the boy in front of her was already a terrifyingly powerful existence.

She, who had never been moved by a man, was now faintly starting to be moved.

[Detected that Qin Lan's favorability toward the host +5, current total favorability 20!]

Hearing this reminder, a curve formed at the corner of Lin Zhou's mouth.

Every time he took in a goddess, as long as he released his attribute panel, no matter how aloof you were, you would be shocked by his attributes.

Wouldn't that favorability come naturally?

This move was his mandatory way of showing off every time.

However, thinking that Jiang Wanxing's favorability toward him was already at 80, and there were only 15 left until 95, this made him very excited.

At this moment, he even had some expectations for another goddess to come along.

That way, maybe Jiang Wanxing's favorability could reach 90, and he could get to eat the meat sooner.

"Oh no, the second wave of the Strange Monsters army is here!!!"

Just then, Jiang Wanxing exclaimed.
