As Jiu appeared, the screen was quickly blocked.

What that meant was obvious to any adult.

“Why!? Based on what?”

“Damn it, why do Kyushu people get such a beautiful nonhuman marriage partner, while our great Sakura Country gets a monster!”

“My God, she’s practically a goddess!”

“This is so unfair!”

“Whoa, did I see that right? She’s really an elf?”

“Hiss, is this Ning God’s luck?”

“She’s too beautiful, compared to this elf the real‑life starlets turn to dust in seconds!”

“Envy, jealousy, hatred!”

“Now I want to see what those fake foreigners have to say.”

“Tsk tsk, compared to the Sakura Country and America, these traitors at home are the most disgusting!”

With Jiu’s appearance, unlike the furious Sakura Country and America, the Kyushu crowd instantly swept away their earlier anxiety and became high‑spirited.

Because Ning Yi really earned face, the marriage partner he found was just too pretty, solid goddess tier.

However, they still underestimated the shamelessness of a certain Taiwan crowd and fake foreigners.

“I’m telling you, did you forget that we can get the reward too?”

“When does the reward drop? I can’t wait to see these guys rage in vain.”

“You’re so bad, but I like it!”

“Haha, let that Ning Yi work hard to get rewards for us and if things go south I’ll just emigrate.”

“Don’t say out loud what I’m thinking inside!”

When these lines popped up.

Kyushu folks were dumbfounded on the spot.

Yeah, even if those people had zero sense of belonging to Kyushu.

Their nationality was still there, so they could receive the reward.

That was—A bit nauseating.

Like happily eating fragrant white rice and suddenly biting into a rat dropping.

“Damn it, if you’ve got guts then emigrate now!”

“Where’s your backbone, do none of you have any?”

“Ugh, that’s disgusting, I can’t take it.”

“I’m gonna puke!”

“Kyushu brats, what can you do to us, hahaha!”

“They’re mad, they’re mad!”

Both sides started bickering again, but there wasn’t much Kyushu citizens could do even as they were about to explode with anger.

* * *

Hours later, the feed resumed.

Certain Taiwanese and fake foreigners simultaneously stopped arguing and stared at the screen with excitement.

They were eager now.

Eager to see what the National Fate reward would be.

However, when they saw the strings of text on screen.

Their eyes went wide and the smug smiles on their faces froze.

* * *

Ning Yi stretched lazily.

He got up from the damp grass.

He had to admit, the experience just now was indescribably wonderful.

Especially because he felt exceptionally good right now, with none of the fatigue you’d expect after several hours of battling.

As for Jiu.

He had already sent her to the “Homestead” to rest.

[Congratulations to the player on completing the first ritual, you have unlocked the personal panel!]

[You have received a personal reward: Forest’s Child (C): your lifespan +5, Body/Strength/Agility/Intelligence +5, Charm +10, obtain skill: Perfect Accuracy (C)!]

[Kyushu has received a National Fate reward: Forest’s Gift (D): within national borders, all citizens gain lifespan +2, Agility +2!]

[Ding!]

[Before distributing the National Fate reward, you may choose one of the following:]

[1. All Kyushu citizens enjoy it!]

[2. Those who betray, hate, or smear Kyushu or have no identification with Kyushu are excluded.]

After a glance at the personal reward, a look of understanding flashed in Ning Yi’s eyes.

Lifespan +5, no wonder he felt years younger, even the lower back that had been tired from work was full of vigor again.

And then.

‘Personal panel?’

Ning Yi silently recited in his heart, curious.

The next second, a translucent panel popped up:

[Panel]

[Name: Ning Yi]

[Affiliation: Kyushu]

[Current Personal Reward: Forest’s Child (C)]

[Attributes—]

[Body: 6→11]

[Strength: 5→10]

[Agility: 5→10]

[Intelligence: 6→11]

[Charm: 9→19]

[(A typical adult male human has 5 points in each attribute!)]

[Skill: Perfect Accuracy (C): an Elf‑only innate talent, when using ranged weapons you can achieve nearly a 100% hit rate!]

Ning Yi clenched his fists and clearly felt his strength had multiplied.

Obviously, even if the numbers had only doubled, the later each point would yield larger gains in power.

‘Perfect Accuracy?’

He looked at the newly gained skill again and raised an eyebrow.

Does that count as ranged in that area?

Probably not, since that’s point‑blank output, which was a pity, because he was really looking forward to what reward Jiu’s pregnancy might bring him.

Pulling his thoughts back.

Ning Yi went to the side and picked up the elf bow Jiu had hung on a branch earlier.

He drew an arrow from the quiver on the ground and set it to the string.

In an instant, his mind became crystal clear as a marvelous feeling of “fully in control” welled up.

He aimed at the trunk several dozen meters away.

He released his fingers.

“Whoosh!”

With a flicker of black, the arrow struck squarely on a coin‑sized dark spot on the trunk.

“Awesome!”

Joy flashed across Ning Yi’s face.

He hadn’t practiced archery at all before this.

Then.

He tried several more times and found that whether he was running or leaping he could still land perfect hits, after which he set the bow down with satisfaction.

As expected of an Elf with maxed archery talent.

“Then for the last part…”

Ning Yi’s gaze fell to the last two lines of the system prompt.

He hadn’t expected this National Fate marriage game to be so considerate that it could filter out the rat droppings.

What was there to hesitate about?

“Option 2!”

What he despised most were the ingrates who bit the hand that fed them.

* * *

Outside.

When those lines appeared before Ning Yi, some people panicked.

“That sucks, why does this National Fate game have such a vile setting?”

“Damn it, is he really going to pick number 2?”

“I love Kyushu forever, I love Kyushu forever, I love Kyushu forever…”

“Damn you, if you dare choose 2, when you return to reality I’ll absolutely take you out, pick 1 for me now!”

But they were destined for disappointment.

Ning Yi took one look and chose 2 without hesitation.

In an instant.

All the forums fell silent for several seconds, then—

“Hahahaha, I’m dying, Ning God did not disappoint! So satisfying!”

“That face‑slap came way too fast, I’m amused.”

“Good and evil get their due, the wheel of heaven turns, look up and see who the sky ever spared!”

“To be fair, this is even crueler than punishment, once the National Fate reward drops these people will be the underclass for sure.”

“As a single dog I’m jealous of Ning bro, but right now I can only say well done!”

“Their flustered looks are too funny, get out of Kyushu already!”

“They can’t even if they want to, the country seems to have paused immigration for now.”

“Haha, then they’re underclass forever, aren’t they?”

Kyushu citizens watched the Taiwan crowd and fake foreigners like they were watching a comedy.

[In 10 seconds, National Fate rewards will begin distribution to Kyushu citizens!]

Text appeared on the screen.

All Kyushu citizens snapped to attention, faces full of anticipation.

They had seen everything after Ning Yi received his personal reward.

Though National Fate rewards could not match personal rewards.

That sense of honor that “other countries don’t have, only Kyushu has” was overflowing.

Also, lifespan +2.

Who would complain about living longer?!
