97: Chapter 97: Having repeatedly rejected a powerful family's "honey trap," he was falsely accused of having a hidden illness?

Lin Yuan had originally thought that after the Grand Exam ended, he would be able to enjoy a few days of peace in the military district villa.

But he had underestimated the terrifying destructive power that coming in first as a commoner would bring.

For the past few days, he had absolutely no time to enter the Divine Realm for simulations.

The notification sound on his personal terminal wouldn't stop ringing.

The screen was densely packed with unread messages.

The Zhao Family of Jiangcheng, the Wang Consortium of Tianhai Province, Star Mining Group...

The greetings were polite and courteous, accompanied by an extremely long list of gifts for their first meeting.

They were all high-tier resources and piles of faith points.

It wasn't just Jiangcheng; first-rate powers from other cities in Tianhai Province were also moving at the news.

Lin Yuan didn't even look at them, directly enabling the stranger interception mode on his terminal.

He now held the rank of Second Lieutenant in the Spark Legion and was even handpicked by Commander Xiao Lie for the "Dark Night Sequence."

The Families and consortiums were swarming in now, simply wanting to take advantage of him before his wings were fully fledged.

They wanted to tie this future military star to their Family war chariot.

Lin Yuan had absolutely no interest in this kind of cutthroat capital game.

Once he lost his utility, these people with smiling Faces would turn cold and ruthless.

He knew his boundaries and would never touch any resources from the Families.

Outside the military villa, the security level of the sanatorium was extremely high.

People from the Families couldn't get in, so they could only bombard his communication channel.

In the first-floor lobby of the villa.

Old Lin sat on the sofa, holding a teacup specially supplied by the military.

His back was straight, faintly revealing the sharp aura of a True God powerhouse from back in the day.

But now, this old soldier was looking helplessly at the principal of Jiangcheng No. 3 High School sitting opposite him.

"Mr. Lin, Lin Yuan has brought great glory to our Jiangcheng and our Tianhai Province this time!" The principal said with a Face full of smiles and an earnest tone.

"The Provincial Department of Education has issued a strict order that we must conduct an exclusive interview with Lin Yuan."

"This is not just the school's honor, but also an example for millions of commoner children across the province!"

Old Lin put down his teacup and looked up at Lin Yuan, who had just walked down the stairs.

"Son, we still need to give the Department of Education some Face." Old Lin said in a serious tone.

"Back in the day, your dad risked his life on the front lines so that humanity could have schools to attend and books to read."

"Now that you've made something of yourself, it's a good thing to encourage those children who have no background."

Lin Yuan looked at the anticipation in Old Lin's eyes.

He knew that Old Lin was still a traditional soldier at heart, valuing collective honor and Legacy very highly.

"Fine." Lin Yuan nodded.

The next day, at the auditorium of Jiangcheng No. 3 High School.

It was packed with people, and all kinds of media equipment filled the aisles.

Lin Yuan sat in the center of the podium.

To his left was the beaming principal, and to his right was his homeroom teacher, Teacher Lei Yan.

Teacher Lei Yan had specially worn a crisp suit today, a change from his usual iron-blooded, tough-guy style.

As the homeroom teacher who brought out the first place winner of the provincial Grand Exam, he not only received a huge bonus from the Department of Education, but his professional title was also promoted as an exception.

"Student Lin Yuan, as a commoner Awakened, how were you able to defeat so many Family Prodigies under conditions of extreme resource scarcity?" A provincial reporter asked, holding up a recording device.

"Student Lin Yuan, I heard your adoptive father is a retired veteran who was wounded on the Abyss front line. Is this the spiritual motivation for you to keep getting stronger?"

Questions came one after another.

The core was all centered around "Commoner Counterattack," "Veteran Legacy," and "Wasteland Miracle."

The school and the media tried their best to infinitely amplify Lin Yuan's commoner identity, attempting to craft a grassroots counterattack myth.

Lin Yuan's expression was calm, and he gave a flawless, official answer according to the prepared script.

Teacher Lei Yan sat to the side, looking at Lin Yuan's steady profile, feeling deeply moved.

A few months ago, this kid was still worrying about food for his followers.

The branch he had given him back then was truly the most correct investment he had ever made in his life.

The interview lasted for two hours.

At the end, the principal personally handed over a gold-inlaid crystal card.

"Lin Yuan, this is the bonus jointly issued by the Provincial Department of Education, the Municipal Education Bureau, and the school."

Lin Yuan took the crystal card and scanned it with his consciousness.

Two hundred million faith points.

Plus the five hundred million faith points rewarded for first place in the Grand Exam.

Lin Yuan's personal account balance now reached an astonishing seven hundred million plus.

Returning to the military district sanatorium.

Lin Yuan pushed open the villa door and raised an eyebrow.

On the coffee table in the living room, it was piled with all kinds of exquisite photo albums and calling cards.

Old Lin sat on the sofa, holding a few high-definition holographic photos, looking at them with great relish.

"You're back?" Old Lin looked up and spread the photos out on the coffee table.

Lin Yuan glanced at them.

The photos were all of young girls with excellent looks and varying temperaments.

There were older sisters in form-fitting combat uniforms, and pure young girls in white dresses.

There were even demi-humans with furry animal ears...

"What is the situation here?" Lin Yuan walked over.

"Those Family consortiums couldn't get into the sanatorium, so they found several old comrades who retired with me back then to act as lobbyists."

Old Lin sighed and pointed to the photos on the table, "They are all legitimate daughters of various large Families, saying they want to get to know you. I rejected them all."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Old Lin usually looked rough, but on such major issues, he had a very firm grasp of boundaries.

"However..." Old Lin changed the subject, picked up a photo, and his eyes lit up, "These girls are truly lovely."

"This figure, these hips, they look like they'd be easy to bear children with."

Lin Yuan's eye twitched.

"Old Lin, calm down. I'm only in the third year of high school; I'm still a child."

"What does being in the third year of high school matter!" Old Lin slapped his thigh and glared, "Back on the front lines, when I was your age, several comrades in my company were already fathers!"

"Our Lin Family only has you as the sole seedling now. Now that you have the ability, marrying a few more and spreading your branches and leaves is a matter of bringing honor to our ancestors!"

Old Lin's obsession was very deep.

Back when his divinity shattered, he thought he would rot in the Slums for the rest of his life.

Now that he had a new lease on life and his son had become the first in the province, his desire to hold a grandson was at an all-time high.

"I'm not going." Lin Yuan refused decisively.

"It won't kill you to have a meal!" Old Lin started acting shamelessly, "The young lady waited for three hours at the restaurant outside the military district gate through your Uncle Zhang's connections."

"If you don't go, where am I supposed to put this old Face of mine?"

Facing Old Lin's pestering.

Lin Yuan sighed.

This intense feeling of being urged to marry hadn't changed even after crossing two worlds.

"Just one meal, and I'll leave immediately after."

In order to get some peace and quiet, Lin Yuan compromised.

Over the next few days, Lin Yuan was forced to start "blind date" mode.

He basically just went through the motions.

Ordering food, eating, chatting professionally for a few sentences, paying the bill, and leaving.

The whole process took no more than half an hour.

Those Family young misses, whether they were the cold goddess type or the cute and delicate type.

In Lin Yuan's eyes, there was basically no difference.

But he had underestimated the lower limits of these Families.

Their methods were extremely insidious.

...

Friday night.

The Cloud Top Restaurant in Jiangcheng, a panoramic private room on the top floor.

Lin Yuan sat at the dining table, cutting the high-tier Demonic Beast meat on his plate.

Sitting opposite him was the third Young Miss of the Wang Family of Tianhai Province, Wang Ruobing.

She was wearing a deep V-neck wine-red evening gown, with large areas of snow-white skin exposed to the air, and the depth at her neckline faintly visible.

The lighting in the private room was dimmed very low.

In the incense burner in the corner, some kind of incense with a sweet, cloying scent was burning.

"Second Lieutenant Lin, this glass of wine is for you." Wang Ruobing picked up a goblet.

Her gaze was lingering, and her voice was so sweet it could drip with water.

Lin Yuan didn't speak; he picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

Seeing this, a gleam of success flashed in Wang Ruobing's eyes.

The incense was [Lust Incense], a specialty of the God-tier Succubus plane, and the wine contained high-purity [Dragon Blood Blazing Sun Fruit].

With the two combined, even a descendant of a True God would turn into a beast within half an hour.

The Wang Family's strict order: Even if they had to use force today, they had to make it a done deal.

As long as she conceived Lin Yuan's child, the Wang Family could legitimately bind this future military bigwig.

Five minutes later.

Wang Ruobing felt her body starting to heat up.

She tugged at her neckline, revealing more snow-white skin, and her legs gently rubbed against Lin Yuan's trouser legs under the table.

"Young Master Lin, are you hot?" She breathed out like an orchid.

Lin Yuan put down his knife and fork and wiped his mouth with a napkin.

He looked at Wang Ruobing, his eyes terrifyingly clear, without a shred of lust.

"This wine is not bad, quite sweet." Lin Yuan said calmly.

Wang Ruobing was stunned.

What happened? Did the drug not take effect?

Little did she know that Lin Yuan's Physical Body was simply not something an ordinary Third-Turn Demigod could compare to.

Never mind this bit of aphrodisiac, even if an adult succubus were crushed and fed to him, it might not necessarily be effective.

"Young Master Lin... I'm so hot..."

Seeing that Lin Yuan really had no reaction, Wang Ruobing steeled her heart and decided to force herself on him. Her breathing began to quicken; the drug was backfiring.

Wang Ruobing struggled to stand up, pounced on Lin Yuan, and tore at her evening gown with both hands.

The fabric tore, a large expanse of blinding snow-white skin popped out, and Wang Ruobing wrapped herself around Lin Yuan like a water snake.

Bang.

Lin Yuan raised a finger and tapped the back of Wang Ruobing's neck.

The force was controlled just right.

Wang Ruobing rolled her eyes and slumped limply onto the carpet, passing out.

Lin Yuan stood up, straightened his collar, and looked at the disheveled woman on the floor, his heart completely calm, even wanting to laugh.

"Drugging me is one thing, but you couldn't even get the dosage right; truly amateurish."

Lin Yuan pushed open the private room door.

Outside the door, four Peak-level Demigod bodyguards from the Wang Family were guarding.

Seeing Lin Yuan walk out unscathed, the four bodyguards were all dumbfounded.

"Your Young Miss is drunk."

Lin Yuan pointed inside the private room and handed the bill to the lead bodyguard.

"Remember to pay the bill."

After saying this, Lin Yuan put his hands in his pockets and strode toward the elevator.

Leaving the four bodyguards to stare at the unconscious Young Miss in the private room, left in the wind.

This kind of absurd farce played out three times in a row.

There were those who drugged him, those who pretended to be drunk to throw themselves at him, and those who stripped directly in the private room.

Relying on his superhuman Physical Body and the will of a steel-straight man, Lin Yuan carried through all these "Hongmen feasts."

Afterward, an outrageous rumor spread in the upper circles of Jiangcheng:

Second Lieutenant Lin Yuan of the Spark Legion might have a hidden ailment in that department.

When Lin Yuan heard this rumor, he was speechless and couldn't be bothered to explain.

He just felt annoyed.

Fortunately, the days of liberation had finally arrived.
