15: A surprise, two chances to win a prize

Lin Family, Ancestral Hall.

The incense from the Ancestor Worship not long ago had not yet extinguished.

The Ancestral Hall, which had just recently calmed down, was once again packed with people.

The entire Lin Family, all branches, gathered together once again.

"Eldest Brother, is what you said true? The Ancestor... actually manifested?"

Lin Anran, the third sister of the Lin Family, looked at her beaming Eldest Brother with a face full of disbelief.

Even Lin Anran couldn't remember how long it had been since she saw Lin Tianhua smile so brightly.

"Of course, Heaven truly blesses my Lin Family," Lin Tianhua said with emotion while taking out new incense.

"Indeed, looking at it this way, Lin Yan has really hit the jackpot," Lin Anxin on the side also said with a smile.

Lin Tianxia was even happier, like a child: "Haha, I said it, since Lin Yan dared to say he'd need three months, he must have been prepared."

"Now it seems it must be because of our Ancestor."

Lin Tianhua slapped Lin Tianxia on the head: "You're so old, have some shame?"

"You didn't say that before."

Lin Tianxia's eyes darted: "Did I? I really said that, Eldest Brother, are you getting senile?"

The older generation was talking, and so was the younger generation.

Due to Lin Yan's arrival, he instantly attracted the attention of many young people, youths, and others from the Lin Family's younger generation.

"Yo, Lin Yan Ge, you were so cool today," Lin Gezhu hooked her arm around Lin Yan's shoulder.

Her face was full of pride.

"Yeah, yeah, I heard Lin Yan Ge was really domineering today!"

"Right in front of Liu Ruyan, he said 'thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river'! My god, it was so cool!"

"What a pity, what a pity, I didn't get to see Liu Ruyan's expression, it must have been hilarious otherwise."

"Haha!!"

The younger members of the Lin Family gathered around Lin Yan, their voices resounding non-stop.

Lin Yan was also politely responding to others' questions to him.

Until, he saw the figure sitting in a wheelchair within the crowd.

Lin Yan's expression paused slightly.

He then pushed through the crowd and walked towards that person.

"Lin Hao Ge, are you feeling better today?"

"Lin Yan," Lin Hao said, smiling as he looked at Lin Yan.

He then gently shook his head: "I'm still the same, but it's nothing serious."

"But you, you've achieved something," Lin Hao said, looking at Lin Yan, his eyes full of relief.

Lin Hao, the second child of the Lin Family, son of Lin Tianxia.

Lin Tianxia married much earlier than Lin Tianhua; when Lin Hao was born, Lin Yan didn't even exist yet.

Therefore, Lin Hao could be said to be the oldest among the younger generation.

He was also the Eldest Brother of the entire younger generation, deeply respected by everyone.

Praised by Lin Hao, Lin Yan scratched his head a little awkwardly: "Not at all."

"I just... found a direction to work towards."

As he spoke, his voice also lowered: "In fact, I know I'm still very weak right now."

"And my talent is still a major weakness."

Lin Hao patted Lin Yan's shoulder and encouraged him: "What are you saying, Lin Yan, you need to understand."

"How important it is to have a clear direction."

"Don't underestimate yourself, the future of the Lin Family still ultimately depends on you!"

Lin Yan quickly said: "This is all thanks to the Ancestor's favor."

Speaking of this, Lin Yan continued: "Moreover, the Ancestor is very powerful, maybe the Ancestor has a way to save Lin Hao Ge."

"If there's a chance, I'll go beg the Ancestor."

Lin Hao smiled: "Good kid, it's fine, don't trouble the Ancestor with my matters, I know my situation, it's not a problem that can be easily solved."

"As for you, Cultivate well."

"Our Lin Family desperately needs a Genius to emerge, do you understand?"

Lin Yan nodded deeply: "I will work hard!"

"Alright, Time is almost up, it's time to prepare for the Ancestor Worship. This time, you must be sincere and properly thank the Ancestor, understand?" Lin Hao looked at the actions of Lin Tianhua and others ahead.

He then said to Lin Yan.

Just like he used to instruct the naive Lin Yan.

No matter what happened, no matter what he became, and no matter what Lin Yan became.

But he, Lin Hao, was always Lin Yan's Eldest Brother, an Eldest Brother who would never change!

After Lin Yan was called away by Lin Tianhua.

Lin Tianxia also came to Lin Hao's side.

"Father."

"Hao'er..." Lin Tianxia looked at his son sitting in the wheelchair.

His heart was full of guilt. After a long silence, he sighed.

"That damned traitor, I will absolutely not let him go."

"Even if he runs to the ends of the earth, one day, I, your father, will definitely catch that bastard."

He clenched his fists, and veins bulged one after another on his rugged face from anger!

Almost every time he mentioned the traitor who harmed his son.

Lin Tianxia's eyes would turn red, his chest full of unvented rage.

"Actually, I don't care about that matter anymore," Lin Hao said.

His gaze was fixed on Lin Yan's back ahead, and he said with a smile:

"Perhaps, this is my fate."

"But fortunately, the Lin Family has Lin Yan. We don't know if the Ancestor was just a fleeting presence or if he has been silently watching over us."

"But, at least things are developing in a good direction, aren't they?"

Listening to Lin Yan's words, Lin Tianxia couldn't help but raise a slight smile.

"You're even comforting me, your old man?"

"In short, no matter what you become, you are my Lin Tianxia's son!"

...

...

The Ancestor Worship began once again.

The difference, however, was that this time's Ancestor Worship only paid homage to the Lin Family's first Ancestor.

Lin Mo alone!

His name was also added to the first page of the family tree and placed on the ancestral tablet.

Lin Tianhua lit the incense and led the Lin Family members to begin the worship.

"Unfilial descendants pay respects to the Ancestor. Please, Ancestor, forgive us for only learning your name today."

"It is also thanks to the Ancestor's protection that our Lin Yan has had the chance to turn things around."

As he finished speaking, the entire Lin Family bowed in unison.

[Ding, congratulations to the host, your name is being sung by your descendants, unlocking the achievement (Full House of Descendants x10) (Full House of Descendants x50)]

[Reward: One White Quality Draw]

[Reward: One Green Quality Draw]

Instantly.

Lin Mo, who had not yet fallen asleep and was studying the System, noticed this phenomenon.

Listening to the name being called and the System's notification sound.

Lin Mo was slightly taken aback.

"This unlocked two achievements?" Lin Mo quickly checked.

Only then did he understand the requirements for this so-called Full House of Descendants achievement.

It meant that all of his descendants, Lin Mo's descendants, recognized him as their Ancestor and collectively worshipped him; only then would it be considered a Full House of Descendants.

He had experienced Ancestor Worship once before, but there were two reasons why this achievement wasn't activated.

First, not all Lin Family members were present.

Second, the Lin Family members didn't know that he, the Ancestor, existed.

And thus didn't consider the Lin Family to be Lin Mo's descendants.

Therefore, this achievement could not be unlocked.

As for the x50 afterwards, the System also had a detailed explanation.

Simply put, it's equivalent to a level based on the number of descendants.

For example, if the current number of descendants in the Lin Family reaches ten, and they worship him together, the achievement (Full House of Descendants x10) can be unlocked.

Reaching fifty people unlocks the achievement (Full House of Descendants x50).

After this, there are also x100, x200...

And so on, higher-level achievements; similarly, the quality of the rewarded draws will also be higher.

Seeing this, Lin Mo gently exhaled.

"So..."

"This counts as... a pleasant surprise?"
