Lin Xuan’s treatment came to an end quickly. Before she could regain her voice and speak, the verdict that decided her fate was delivered to her eyes.
Escorted to the Mining Star, a lifetime of work.
Unless Lin Nuo falls, or Lin Xuan breaks through and awakens her first-generation powers, she has no hope of climbing out of that place in her life.
Compared with other prisons, Mining Star is a very strange place. In addition to the hard work there, it is also very humane in spirit. For example, they will show the StarNet to the prisoners, not only during breaks but also during working hours. They will also provide everyone with earplugs so that they can happily swim in the spiritual ocean.
Of course, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the programs to be broadcast by Star Network are strictly censored. There will be some humorous videos during breaks, and inspirational messages will be played on a separate loop during work.
Take Lin Xuan as an example. She can only watch humorous videos during her meager rest time every day. During the rest of her working time, she has to listen to news about Lin Nuo in a loop, such as what delicious food the other party ate and where she went. Where she went to on vacation, or what new honors she has achieved.
This kind of news may not necessarily be updated in time, but it will be played in a loop. For example, the first ten minutes of each hour will let her experience her pain about her family’s lack of happiness.
This was also one of the reasons why Lin Xuan insisted on sending Lin Nuo there. She just wanted to torture that annoying crybaby, but she didn’t expect that she would be trapped in it in the end.
Of course, Lin Xuan did not accept such a fate. She struggled, biting and kicking in Lin Nuo’s direction like crazy. However, the opponent stood far away and she could not reach her.
When she discovered that not only was this useless, but it would bring about a severe beating from the security personnel, Lin Xuan finally became afraid. As she was being dragged out of the venue, she couldn’t help but struggle to ask Lin Nuo for help.
“Please… please…” Lin Xuan hoarse her voice, ignoring the feeling of tearing in her throat, desperately begging Lin Nuo to let her go, “I was wrong… I was really wrong… I’ll be your cow and horse…let me go, let me go…”
Lin Nuo didn’t say anything. She stood there with her arms crossed and looked at the other person coldly. That was by no means a sign of true repentance, but just because she was afraid of severe punishment.
There was a young man among the onlookers who seemed to have never seen such a scene before, and he could not bear it. He had met Lin Xuan several times before, and he liked this girl with a bright personality very much. He happened to be at the age where love blossoms and quietly breeds a feeling of admiration that he was not aware of.
At this moment, he saw the goddess in his mind being dragged away. Her pitiful voice hurt the young man’s heart. He subconsciously stood up and blurted out, accusing her before his parents could stop him.
“She is your cousin after all. This is too much! You can’t kill someone without a thought. She knows she is wrong. Can’t you give her a chance to repent?”
The young man’s parents were shocked and stepped forward again. It was too late to cover their son’s mouth, the words had already been spoken, and they were unusually loud in the still silent venue.
Gu Han frowned, glanced at the boy and his parents, and recognized them from the guest list that he had already memorized, and said coldly: “There is still a little bit left in that cup of Annihilation, why don’t you drink it first and experience the pain that my young lady has suffered, then say this again?”
The young man frowned unconvinced, broke away from his father’s hand covering his mouth, and said again: “What I said was wrong, she knows it was wrong. Shouldn’t she be given a chance to repent? I just realized that no one is allowed to make mistakes in this world!”
“You’re right.” Lin Nuo stopped Gu Han who was about to speak, looked sideways at the aggrieved young man and spoke slowly, “Some mistakes can be corrected once they are made. Some mistakes, once made, will never have a chance for repentance. Just like you – if you offend me now, I will sanction your family, but the time limit will not be Forever. But if you continue to ignore right and wrong, maybe you will go to Mining Star to be with Lin Xuan before long.”
Before the boy had another chance to speak, Lin Nuo raised three fingers and said lightly: “Three. In the next three years, any of my industries will not do business with your family. Likewise, you will not get any resources from me. You will not have any rights to operate any products I develop within three years.” After saying that, Lin Nuo tilted her head and pointed at the sky: “Finally, I would like to advise you to be magnanimous. If you don’t know how to speak, you can learn to shut up. But if you still have to speak if you don’t know how to speak, then… You have to bear the consequences.”
The young man suddenly felt guilty. Only then did he notice that the other people in the venue looked at him strangely, as if with pity, sympathy, and unabashed schadenfreude.
I, am I causing trouble for my family? But what I said was obviously right…
Before the confused boy could figure it out, he suddenly felt severe pain on his cheek and a “buzzing” sound on his ears. Only then did he realize that he had been slapped and the one who did it was his father who usually doted on him.
He covered his face in grievance, wanting to wait for his father’s explanation, but he didn’t expect that the other party wouldn’t even look at him. Instead, he bent down and bowed to the woman named Lin Nuo.
“I’m sorry, Master Lin. I didn’t teach my son well. I just remembered that there was something at home that I didn’t deal with. I’ll leave first. We will come to apologize another day.”
Lin Nuo nodded indifferently and waved her hands to let them go. She didn’t think about it. Her good mood was ruined by that stupid kid who spoke so freely, it was just a little disgusting that she couldn’t stand and talk without pain in her back.
Three years is a good period of time. It can deter some people who don’t know how to proceed without pushing people to a dead end. It leaves some hope for the other party so that no one will be willing to fight to the death.
But in the same way, three years is also a punishment. The warmth and coldness of human feelings during this period can always make that little guy understand how wrong his disgusting hypocrisy is today.
Thinking like this, Lin Nuo completely forgot how old she was in this life. The “child” she was lamenting was actually about the same age as her.
Standing and talking didn’t hurt his back, but his face hurt. He was dragged away by his parents. Lin Xuan was dragged away from the venue first. Gu Han saw that it was almost time to leave, so he took the initiative to talk to the organizers, then protected Lin Nuo and left first.
On the way, Lin Nuo told Gu Han about the previous arrangements, including that the information sent to the scientific research institute that should have been analyzed by them. It is estimated that they will come to their door in two days, which will be another asset for them to establish themselves.
“Then let’s go home.” Lin Nuo leaned against Gu Han lazily, not liking the atmosphere in the Imperial City. “The medicine to treat you has almost reached the stage of purification. I have to keep an eye on it myself.”
Gu Han relaxed his shoulders and let Lin Nuo lean more comfortably, and then said, “It’s all up to you. I’ll go wherever you go. If it’s not comfortable here, let’s go home.”
“Yeah.”
Lin Nuo was really tired, her eyelids gradually closed, but she was still mumbling something. If he didn’t listen carefully, he would just think she was gibbering, but Gu Han heard it very clearly because she was close enough.
“Gu Han, it’s great to have you here.”
The silent smile grew bigger and bigger on Gu Han’s face. He didn’t care why Lin Nuo did this, even if it was just because she couldn’t do without him for trivial work matters, he did it sincerely. As long as they are together and proceed step by step, there will always be a chance to pierce the window paper, but before that, he will wait with enough patience.
…
A year later, Gu Han fully recovered and appeared in front of everyone who wanted to attract Lin Nuo’s attention with a new healthy attitude.
Another half year later, with his strong and outstanding mental power, he passed all the tests and became the leading mental doctor in the Interstellar Alliance.
In the following years, Gu Han focused on diseases caused by genetic defects and disabilities caused by mental damage. Combined with the medicine developed by Lin Nuo, he cured many troubled people.
With the recovery of the Federal Nebula Medal winner who retired due to injury, Gu Han became unparalleled and became the hottest upstart of the season. It was only at this time that many of Lin Nuo’s suitors had to hold their noses and admit that this guy did have two skills and was barely qualified to stand by Lin Nuo’s side.
Yes, Gu Han is very powerful, but Lin Nuo is still the more powerful person. In just a few years, she has led the team to develop and improve new types of seeds. Although it can only last for five generations without poison, the situation where it fails in the second generation has improved a lot.
Her “Delicacies of the Ancient Earth” is still in business, and the business is extremely booming, but Lin Nuo insists on not opening a branch. Many people who want to eat have no choice but to fly to Foka Star in person, besides ordering from StarNet.
The Foka Star government decisively seized this business opportunity and carried out a series of tourism developments around Lin Nuo’s store. In just two years, it abruptly raised the economy by several levels and completely took off the “Desolate Star” hat.
Because Lin Nuo’s laboratory can steadily provide seeds, many farms have established cooperative relationships with her to grow these ordinary plants in large quantities without the need for purification chemicals or purifiers.
Of course, this touched the interests of some people. Lin Nuo did not choose to beat them to death with a stick, but extended an olive branch to them, actively cooperated to help the transformation, and strived to achieve a win-win situation.
This kind of move won Lin Nuo a lot of praise. The few discordant voices that were resolute and uncompromising were quickly drowned. With Lin Nuo’s current status, they did not dare to make any moves at all and could only cling to the old ways. The resentful thoughts, along with their declining industries, disappeared into the tide of history.
There is no way, society must always progress, and human beings must always look forward. Forget it if you can’t keep up with the times. If you have to use the mantis as a chariot, you will only end up being run over.
This year, Lin Nuo once again won the seventh Federal Nebula Award, and Gu Han won the fifth time. The two stood on the podium hand in hand, surrounded by elites who had also made outstanding contributions in various fields.
The one who presented the awards to them was His Majesty the Emperor, who was old but still healthy. He pinned medals on each winner with his own hands and spoke very official words of encouragement and thanks. He remained silent for a moment until he stood in front of Gu Han. He smiled and spoke with emotion.
“I really regret it, Gu Han. I regret that I didn’t make up my mind to clear your name at that time.”
The emperor picked up a medal from the tray, raised his head slightly and looked at the back of the young man in front of him who was taller than himself. The smile on his face remained unchanged, but his heart was full of mixed emotions.
“If I had done that then, I would be proud to announce now that this outstanding and outstanding young man is my grandson. His surname is Qi and his name is Qi Han! Instead of being like now, I can only serve for an unrelated person named Gu Han.” He said as he presented the award.
“Your praise is my honor.”
Gu Han has long since lost all his previous unwillingness, and he has long looked away from the royal family’s disapproval. Today’s sudden affirmation is just the icing on the cake for him. He will be happy, but he will not take it to heart.
The emperor seemed to have expected Gu Han’s reaction, and did not dwell too much on it. If he missed it, he missed it and nothing he said would help.
In this case, instead of being a disgusting old man, it is better to keep a close distance with this “outsider”. This is good for both of them. Talking about helping to take care of… is just a sentimental psychological comfort. With Gu Han and Lin Nuo’s strength, the entire Star Alliance probably wouldn’t be able to find anyone who would dare to provoke them.
As for secretly… The emperor felt that judging from the information he had gathered, his grandson was not an easy man, and those guys might not be able to fight him.
In this case, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. He just wants to live longer and see more of this prosperous age.
“Congratulations, thank you again for your efforts.”
His Majesty, the Emperor walked up to Lin Nuo and pinned the new Nebula Medal on her, expressing his sincere gratitude to her for her contribution to the Federation.
“You’re welcome.”
Lin Nuo, who is already twenty-five years old, has not changed much in appearance. Even though she is busy at work, she takes good care of herself. She still looks delicate and beautiful, but she is more mature now than she was back then. She displayed a few charms that only mature women had.
Lin Nuo was the last one to be awarded the medal. She waited patiently for His Majesty, the Emperor to pin the medal on her, and then she spoke leisurely before the other party made a speech and prepared to leave.
“Excuse me, can I have the honor of inviting you to attend Gu Han and I’s wedding, and be the officiant?”
The emperor was stunned. After seeing Lin Nuo wink at him, he showed the most heartfelt smile since he came.
“Of course!”
The author has something to say: It’s over, sprinkle flowers~~Thank you all for sticking with me until now, and I’ll see you in the next book.
I’m going to try quick transmigration in my next book~~ It’s my first time trying the male protagonist’s perspective, but I can’t say for sure… emmm, anyway, he is a plug-in for the protagonist in the story, so he doesn’t have a romantic relationship with any unit character.
