Qin Lan's beautiful eyes opened wide, and when she realized she was lying unclothed on Lin Chen's body, her cheeks flushed with an embarrassed crimson, her eyes filled with bewildered confusion.

She hurriedly let go of Lin Chen's arm, grabbed the clothes beside her, and quickly put them on.

Qin Lan thought of yesterday when she had initiated the embrace and the kiss, the scenes of embarrassing intimacy, and she was almost too ashamed to lift her head.

Lin Chen, equally bewildered, watched the flustered Qin Lan. He thought she would scold him, hit him, or even drag him back to the police station.

But Qin Lan was unexpectedly calm, a calm that somewhat suffocated him. Guilt filled his heart and finally, he broke the silence and said softly, "Officer Qin, I'm sorry, I..."

"It's not your fault, I just need some peace," Qin Lan said with flushed cheeks as she tidied up her slightly messy hair, opened the car door, and ran into the woods without looking back.

Lin Chen wanted to follow her, but his arm tightened, and he couldn't help but give a bitter smile as he remembered that his hand was still handcuffed to the handlebars.

Qin Lan ran into the grove, leaned against a tree, and tears began to fall uncontrollably.

Qin Lan had been holding back her tears; she didn't want Lin Chen to see her cry. But unbeknownst to her, Lin Chen, who possessed X-ray vision, had seen everything.

Watching Qin Lan crying in the woods, Lin Chen felt even more chaotic. He had awkwardly taken away their first night; no wonder the girl felt aggrieved. What should he do?

Lin Chen was thinking about how to comfort Qin Lan, but she had already returned to the car.

In fact, Qin Lan liked Lin Chen, but since they had just met and the situation had occurred so unexpectedly, she found it hard to accept this reality. However, after crying, she felt much calmer and better.

Maybe this was fate, she comforted herself.

Qin Lan got back into the car, and although her eyes were still swollen, she had quietly wiped away the tears from the corners.

Qin Lan pulled out a key and unlocked the handcuffs from Lin Chen's wrist, turning her head away shyly, "Put your clothes on."

Only then did Lin Chen notice his lower half was still bare, and his face turned red as he quickly pulled on his pants.

"Officer Qin, I will take responsibility," Lin Chen said earnestly, his face red.

Listening to Lin Chen's words, for some reason, her heart lightened, and the last bit of her misgivings disappeared completely.

"Let's just consider this a dream," Qin Lan sighed. "No one is to blame. It was fate. What will happen in the future, will happen."

There was nothing more Lin Chen could say after the girl had put it like that!

The car drove along the village road in silence, the atmosphere inside heavy.

Lin Chen got out of the car when they stopped at the entrance to the village.

"Anyway, thank you for yesterday," Qin Lan suddenly said.

Lin Chen's face turned red, "Don't thank me; didn't you already thank me last night? I'm the one who owes you."

Lin Chen's words made Qin Lan both embarrassed and annoyed; indeed, she had thanked him, and that thanks seemed a bit too much.

"Alright, I remember your words. You owe me," Qin Lan said, a rare smile appearing on her face as she waved and drove off.

Watching the car's departing silhouette, Lin Chen's heart suddenly felt wistful. "Damn, I'm actually not a virgin anymore."

"System, why didn't you save me yesterday!"

"The system only intervenes when the host's life is at risk. In the future, the host will become the most popular man in the galaxy, surrounded by many women. It is her fortune to be your woman."

"The future?" Lin Chen suddenly recalled Qin Lan's words. What will happen in the future, let's talk about it later.

In the future, I will definitely become a strong person, protecting my family, relatives, and loved ones. Lin Chen silently made up his mind.

"Host, since you have completed the transformation from a boy to a man, you will receive the system's second hidden task."

"Damn, this works too." Lin Chen felt speechless, not expecting that a night of passion not only led to a dream but also such great benefits.

"Host, you must plant one hundred acres of good farmland and achieve a bumper harvest within three days to activate the second function of the Tianyan Divine Pupil, the 'Space Eye'."

"What is 'Space Eye'?" Lin Chen asked, curious.

"The Space Eye is a technique of spatial transmission that allows you to store objects in front of you into a different space within your eyes. The space inside the eyes becomes a world of its own, capable of containing everything."

Such a powerful ability, being able to store seen objects into a different space. Lin Chen thought about it and felt it was awesome.

However, Lin Chen was somewhat depressed about this task. "System, planting one hundred acres of good farmland and also expecting a rich harvest in three days is a bit too demanding."

"This is a task drawn by the system, and the system cannot change it. Oh, and if the task fails, as a punishment, all your cultivation will be stripped away."

"Damn, there really is a punishment," Lin Chen cursed silently, but there was nothing he could do.

At that moment, Lin Man ran out from the yard: "Brother, where were you last night? You didn't answer your phone, and mom and dad were really worried."

Speaking of last night, Lin Chen's cheeks reddened slightly, and he made up an excuse: "Oh, I met a classmate yesterday, had a few drinks, and then stayed over at his place."

"So that's what happened!" Lin Man nodded.

Once inside the house, his father Lin Hai also scolded Lin Chen before handing him a bank card: "Lin Chen, what are you selling that's so valuable, forty small bottles actually sold for four million!"

Being someone who had also seen big scenes, Lin Hai was surprised that such small bottles could sell for one hundred thousand each.

"Hehe, it's some special diet pills. These city folks have a lot of money. To them, spending one hundred thousand for a slim figure is totally worth it," Lin Chen said with a smile.

Lin Hai shook his head helplessly. Lin Chen's earning ability truly made him, a scion of a prominent family, astonished. The greater one's ability, the greater the responsibility they bear. Regarding Lin Chen's future, he both looked forward to it and felt a bit worried.

"Dad, I'm going to check how the construction at the base is going," Lin Chen said as he was about to leave.

"Lin Chen, finish breakfast before you go!" his mother said as she came out with a bowl of hot noodles.

"Mom, I'm not hungry," Lin Chen said as he already started walking out.

Having only three days to achieve a harvest from one hundred acres of good farmland was an impossible task, but for Lin Chen, even the impossible had to be completed, so he had to race against time.

Lin Chen arrived at the construction site to see a dozen cranes and bulldozers busily working.

Seeing Lin Chen, the contractor Wang Hai walked over with a smile, trying to please him: "Mr. Lin, as per your instructions, I've fenced off that piece of land at the foot of the mountain for you, you can use it however you want. However, I've surveyed the land for you, and the geological conditions there are too poor to grow crops."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I have my own plans for that, thank you."

After chatting with Wang Hai for a few more moments, Lin Chen went to the fenced-off land he had planned to use as a planting area.

The land, surrounded by high walls, was completely invisible from the outside. As Lin Chen walked through the gate, he saw Xue Ying turning the soil with an iron shovel.

On seeing Lin Chen, Xue Ying frowned. "Lin Chen, it's impossible to grow crops on this land; I think we better build a factory or some villas instead."
