Confessing to someone who thinks I'm a fat otaku, and then crying when monsters descend?

The faction war has officially ended.

Gu Qingyue also needs to bury the soldiers who died in the great battle and revitalize and develop Changnian City, so she will be busy for a while.

Chen Nian, Su Jinyu, and the others left and returned to the real world.

After returning, Chen Nian prepared to reward everyone in the guild group.

Silent: Everyone performed well in the faction war. I just happened to exchange a lot of my contribution points for a lot of things, so I'm giving everyone a little something extra.

Lu Ge: Wow, the boss is going to give out year-end bonuses! Everyone, let's go!

Hacker: Boss, you're awesome first!

Sweetie: Not only did our leader lead us to a comeback victory, but he also gave us extra rewards afterwards! Waaaaah, I'm so happy!

Mage: I have nothing to repay you with, so I'm willing to offer myself to you and help you take a bath and scrub your back.

Ah Huo: Haha, stop dreaming, upstairs! The boss only wants pretty girls to scrub his back! You old pervert.

—Ah Huo has been muted for one hour—

Tang Rou: Is there an annual employee award? I'd like to sign up.

Seeing that everyone was quite enthusiastic, Chen Nian couldn't help but smile and started handing out rewards to everyone one by one.

Although these rewards aren't particularly valuable to everyone in the guild, they mainly show the sentiment behind them, especially since they were personally given out by Chen Nian, so everyone really wanted them.

Silent: The first one is of course Xiaoqi. Thank you for your continued contributions to the guild.

xx: First place is well-deserved!

xx: Xiaoqi is awesome!

xx: Little Seven Fairies!

xx: The boss lady is so cool!

Su Jinyu couldn't stop smiling when she saw this, her eyes narrowing into crescent moons.

She was naturally happy to be ranked first by Chen Nian.

As for the subsequent rankings, Chen Nian didn't differentiate between them and simply distributed a large number of rewards.

Even Sakura Uesawa mentioned that she had contributed a lot to the faction battles and received recognition and praise from everyone.

Tang Rou couldn't see her name, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

I haven't been in the guild for very long, but I've put in a lot of effort, even if I haven't made any significant contributions. And yet I wasn't even nominated... I'm furious! I'm never doing anything again!

Silent: Lastly, Employee of the Year @Xiaorou

Silent: Although Tang Rou has not been a member of the guild for long, she has been of great help. She truly deserves the title of Employee of the Year!

As soon as Chen Nian posted this message, a bunch of people started praising it.

Tang Rou then laughed: "That's more like it!"

Xiaorou: Thank you, boss, and thank you everyone for your support!

The reward segment ended happily for everyone.

Chen Nian returned to his daily life, and Shang Zeying also returned to his home to continue working as his personal maid.

After a few peaceful days, Chen Nian discovered a problem.

Sakura Uesawa has something on her mind.

She often trains alone in the yard late at night, yet she still gets up earlier than Chen Nian in the morning, as if she doesn't need to sleep all night.

One day during a meal, Chen Nian couldn't help but ask, "Ying, is there something on your mind that you can tell me?"

"I......"

Uesawa Sakura hesitated for a moment, clearly finding it difficult to say what she was saying.

"Missing your brother?"

Sakura Uesawa shook her head, her light, airy bangs swaying as she did so, making her look quite adorable.

Suddenly, she lowered her head, biting her lip, and said, "I...I want to become stronger!"

Want to become stronger?

"Hmm... I wanted to help more with the fighting last time, but my strength is no match for Miss Ye and Miss Su. I can only do some insignificant things."

"I want to be able to help you better, and help my brother better, so... I want to become stronger!"

"Could you...train me?"

At this point, Uesawa Sakura raised her head, her white teeth unconsciously biting her glistening lips, her two small fists clenched tightly, looking quite nervous.

Chen Nian smiled and said, "You want me to train you? I'm very strict."

Sakura Uesawa's eyes lit up, a hint of joy in them: "No matter how strict they are, it's okay, I'm willing!"

She couldn't ask for more training from the world's strongest.

Of course, there are other ways for extraordinary individuals to become stronger besides leveling up, changing equipment, and acquiring advanced gear...

The most difficult one is called combat awareness!

No matter how many skills you have, if your practical awareness is lacking, it's all for nothing.

For example, when attacked by an enemy, how do you determine the nature of the attack, how should you respond, how should you counterattack, and how can you win?

That's all Chen Nian can help her train; as for divinity... that's not something he can acquire yet.

"To improve your combat awareness, first get used to killing."

"Kill...kill someone?" Uesawa Sakura's body trembled slightly.

"You've been protected by your brother since you were little, like a flower growing in a greenhouse. Now that the greenhouse is gone, of course you have to get used to the harsh outdoor environment again."

Chen Nian smiled slightly: "Of course, you're going to kill those vicious and ruthless people, wanted criminals, and make a positive contribution to society."

Uesawa Sakura nodded, seemingly understanding, "But what should I do...?"

Chen Nian made a phone call to Li Yunwei, the head of the law enforcement bureau.

"Hey, I have a helper who wants to work for you guys. Do you know any heinous wanted criminals?"

"have!"

Li Yunwei was overjoyed.

These days, there are far too many criminals who use their supernatural powers to commit crimes, murder, and arson! It's impossible to deal with them all.

I never expected someone would be willing to help; I couldn't be happier!

"There just happened to be a criminal who has been wanted for a month and has already killed five people. His crimes are heinous. I'll send you the information right away."

Chen Nian received the criminal's information and handed it over to Hei Zi for investigation. Once he found a clue, he would have Shang Ze Ying take action.

In just over ten days, Shangze Ying helped Linhai City deal with several wanted criminals, killing each one of them, which was equivalent to giving credit to the law enforcement bureau for free.

Li Yunwei even wanted to present her with a banner to express his gratitude!

After making progress in the first stage, Chen Nian immediately began the second stage of training for her.

Real-world application!

Chen Nian hung a string of bells around his waist.

"Whether it's a frontal attack, a sneak attack, or whatever, your goal is to snatch this string of bells from me by any means necessary."

"If you can't do that today... then you'll have to warm my bed tonight and wear a maid outfit."

Chen Nian announced the punishment.

As a result, Shangze Ying failed to snag the bell for seven consecutive days, and warmed Chen Nian's bed on time every night.

Chen Nian suspected something was wrong...

So he changed the terms.

"If you can't do that, then until you do, you can't do my laundry, cook for me, warm my bed, or talk to me."

Starting the next day, Uesawa Sakura acted as if she wanted to kill Chen Nian, desperately trying to snatch the bell.

She tried her best, but still couldn't do it.

Chen Nian said, "That's right...that's exactly what I wanted."

However, the good times didn't last long, and Chen Nian's bell was soon snatched away.

Because Sakura Uesawa changed into a black silk maid outfit.

During the battle, she deliberately lifted her skirt slightly, and taking advantage of Chen Nian's blank stare, she used a kunai to steal the bell.

"We did it!" Sakura Uesawa was overjoyed.

Chen Nian: You have a problem....
