Even blind box hunters don't choose their partners? I got Su Daji from my blind box!

(Chapter 13 was under review, but has been revised and can now be read normally. PS: Shen He is really too sensitive.)

……

The meeting room was deathly silent; the air was as still as if someone were attending a funeral.

This is not a threat.

This is a notification.

Lin Xiao felt a chill run down his spine, and a layer of cold sweat instantly seeped out from his back.

He knew that Bai Potian was serious.

In the face of the massive machine of national security, the value of an individual is always secondary.

"clear!"

Lin Xiao suddenly stood up straight, his face serious and righteous.

"General, rest assured! I, Lin Xiaosheng, am a citizen of the Dragon Kingdom, and I will die a soul of the Dragon Kingdom! I firmly support the nation's decision!"

After saying that, he turned around, put on a stern face, pointed at Su Daji's nose, and began to "scold" her.

"Did you hear me? No more setting fires! Have some public spirit! This is a society governed by law!"

"If you dare to be naughty again, I'll... I'll..."

Lin Xiao hesitated for a long time before finally managing to utter a sentence.

"I'm ignoring you!"

All the grandmasters present: "..."

That's it?

You call this strict discipline?

However, Su Daji's reaction surprised everyone.

"Oh dear, Your Majesty is so fierce!"

Far from being afraid, she went limp and coiled around him like a beautiful snake, her eyes alluring, her red lips close to Lin Xiao's ear, her breath sweet as orchids.

"I know I was wrong~ Then... when we go back tonight, Your Majesty can punish me however you wish~"

"Should we use a whip... or a candle? Or..."

Her slender fingers traced circles on Lin Xiao's chest, her voice so sweet it was almost cloying.

"Tie me up?"

"Cough cough cough cough!"

Lin Xiao almost choked on his own saliva, his face turning bright red.

The car was going so fast that the doors were welded shut!

"Shameless."

Chang'e glanced at her coldly, her hand radiating cold energy, as if she were ready to physically cool down this demoness at any moment.

"That's enough!"

Qin Weiguo rubbed his temples in pain.

He felt that if these people continued to cause trouble, the Ministry of Education would inevitably turn into a crackdown on pornography and illegal publications tonight.

"Now that the red line has been drawn, let's talk about one last thing."

Qin Weiguo took a specially made tablet computer out of his briefcase and placed it in the center of the table.

"Lin Xiao, regarding your application..."

This moment.

Lei Zhen, Gu Qinghe, Qian Duoduo.

The three admissions officers from the military, Peking University, and Shanghai University instantly sharpened their gazes.

They knew what was going to happen.

The previous harmony vanished, and the scene instantly turned into a fierce competition where the true intentions were revealed.

"Lin Xiao".

Lei Zhen spoke first, waving his hand with an air of heroic pride.

"No need to think about it. A natural-born war machine like you should come to my military! You'll be awarded the rank of major upon enrollment, resources will be plentiful, and you can choose any mythical weapon you want!"

"vulgar!"

Gu Qinghe pushed up his glasses and sneered.

"With such wisdom, how could Lin Xiao possibly join your bunch of brutes? Yanjing Martial Arts University possesses the most complete collection of ancient and rare books in the country, and has grandmasters personally guiding you. This is the path to the pinnacle."

"Tch, who hasn't become a Grandmaster? What's the use of talking about ideals? Can it put food on the table?"

Qian Duoduo twirled the ring on her hand, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha.

"Brother Lin, come to Wuhan University in Shanghai! I'll approve a special research fund of 2 billion... no, 3 billion!"

"Private islands, yachts, beautiful women... cough, I mean outstanding senior female students, you name it! If you come, I'll even make you the principal!"

The three bigwigs were arguing fiercely, spittle flying everywhere.

They were all certain that Lin Xiao would choose one of their three families.

After all, looking across the entire country, apart from these three top schools, all other schools are trash; you'd be losing if you didn't even glance at them.

Lin Xiao huddled in his chair, watching the group of big shots arguing heatedly over him, his heart pounding with anxiety.

It's over.

If they find out the truth...

Will I get beaten to death?

"Alright!"

Qin Weiguo slammed his fist on the table, suppressing the entire room.

"What's all the noise about! Lin Xiao's college application was already filled out, and it's locked in the system right now!"

Qin Weiguo wore a mysterious smile as he glanced at the three of them.

"Because of Lin Xiao's special circumstances, with special approval from higher authorities, we have decided to declassify his volunteer file here on the spot."

"Firstly, it is to allow receiving institutions to allocate S-level resources in advance."

"Secondly, it's also to make you give up."

As he spoke, Qin Weiguo's fingers flew across the tablet, inputting a series of complicated keys.

"Lin Xiao is a child who understands the greater good and has a strong sense of the overall situation."

Qin Weiguo sighed as he operated the machine.

"He specifically called me beforehand to say he wanted to follow the proper procedures and not seek special treatment. With such pure and sincere intentions, I support him no matter which company he chooses!"

On the big screen, a red progress bar began loading.

[SSS-level top secret file declassification in progress... 30%... 60%...]

Lei Zhen straightened his military uniform, his face full of confidence.

"Old Qin, stop keeping us in suspense. It's definitely the military. Besides us, who else can handle this big shot?"

Gu Qinghe scoffed: "Not necessarily."

Qian Duoduo smiled without saying a word, and had already taken out her phone to transfer money to the finance department.

Everyone in the room had their eyes glued to the big screen.

Lin Xiao closed his eyes.

He silently calculated the escape route from here, and whether Chang'e and Daji could withstand the combined attack of eleven grandmasters.

[100%! Decryption complete!]

"bite--"

A crisp notification sound echoed throughout the conference room.

On the big screen, a line of bold, black text suddenly appeared.

[Candidate Name: Lin Xiao]

[First Choice: Wuhan University, Huayang]

[Admission Status: Admitted]

……

Quiet.

A deathly silence.

At this moment, time stood still.

Lei Zhen's smile froze.

Qian Duoduo's hand trembled, and the phone she had just taken out fell to the ground with a "thud," shattering the screen.

Gu Qinghe's fingers, which were pushing up his glasses, froze in mid-air. The gold-rimmed glasses slipped off his nose, revealing a pair of bewildered eyes.

Even Qin Weiguo's hand, which was holding a teacup, was suspended in mid-air, and he froze on the spot.

He blinked.

Blinked again.

He even took off his reading glasses, wiped them, and put them back on.

The four words on the screen remained crystal clear and glaringly obvious.

Hua...Yang...Wu...Da?

"puff--!!!"

Lei Zhen nearly spat out a mouthful of blood, jumped up suddenly, and roared as he pointed at the screen.

"Huayang?! That dilapidated school with 300 million yuan in debt, a place even dogs wouldn't go?!"

"Old Qin! Is your system infected with a virus?! Or has it been hacked?!"

Qian Duoduo let out a heart-wrenching wail.

"My three billion! Brother Lin! Did you accidentally fill it out incorrectly? Or were you kidnapped by the admissions office of that school?"

"Blink! Your Uncle Qian is rich! I'll go redeem you right now!"

Gu Qinghe took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, but his voice was trembling.

"Lin Xiao... what... what kind of new kind of humor is this?"

Eleven masters.

The Dragon Kingdom's top combat force.

At this moment, everyone was staring intently at Lin Xiao as if he were a madman.

His eyes were filled with incomprehension, shock, absurdity, and a sense of utter despair, as if to say, "I've already taken my pants off and this is what you're showing me."

Lin Xiao slowly opened his eyes.

Facing the murderous stares of the entire audience, he took a deep breath and forced a smile that looked more like a grimace.

"Um... if I said..."

"I just thought the school's name sounded nice and auspicious..."

Do you believe it?

boom--!

The meeting room erupted in chaos.

Qin Weiguo clutched his chest, pointing shakily at Lin Xiao, his vision blurred, and he almost fainted.

He withstood the coercion and enticement from various powerful forces, blocked the moral blackmail from the outside world, and even used his ministerial authority to lock the files, paving the way for this kid to the top.

result……

Just to protect this thing?!

"What a tragedy!!!"
