I was so scared that I put all my points into health.

Chapter President Winnie sat elegantly in her large office chair, like a noble purple swan resting on a small island in a lake. Her expression was focused and serious, her slender fingers gently turning the pages of documents, and every now and then her star-like eyes would scan the papers on the table as she handled various complex official duties.

Wang Xiaoyi and his companions slowly ascended the stairs to the second floor. A tranquil atmosphere permeated the second-floor corridor, with several ancient and mysterious paintings hanging on the walls, seemingly telling the story of this world's long history. Reaching the office of the branch president, Winnie, Wang Xiaoyi gently knocked. The knock was exceptionally clear in the quiet corridor, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating gentle ripples.

After receiving permission, Wang Xiaoyi and his group entered the office. Upon entering, they felt as if they had stepped into a purple dream world. Every corner of the office was filled with purple objects, from the carpet embroidered with purple patterns to the purple silk ornaments hanging on the wall, and the glass lamps on the desk emitting a faint purple glow. Every purple item seemed to whisper about the president's unique taste; clearly, this branch president of Winnie had an almost obsessive love for purple. The pervasive purple light enveloped the entire office in a mysterious and elegant atmosphere, as if shrouded in a purple veil, concealing countless stories waiting to be discovered.

President Winnie gracefully raised her arm, gesturing to Wang Xiaoyi and the others, her movement as gentle as a breeze rustling willow branches. Her slender figure rose slowly from the elegant office chair, like a delicate purple butterfly about to take flight. Her gaze fell upon the exquisite teacup on the desk; she reached out and gently picked it up, her movements light and precise, as if retrieving a rare treasure. Then, she turned and walked gracefully towards the purple armchair opposite her, each step exuding an innate nobility and elegance. When she reached the sofa, she sat down gently, the entire process like a beautiful dance performance, a feast for the eyes.

At that moment, she gently waved her right hand, as if waving a magic wand, and the teapot on the opposite table seemed to come alive, flying up into the air. The teapot's handle drew a graceful arc in the air, hovering above the three empty teacups. Then, the spout slowly tilted, and the freshly brewed, hot black tea flowed into the three teacups like a red ribbon. The sound of the black tea flowing in the cups was like a gentle serenade, playing beautiful notes in the air. Then, as if summoned by some mysterious force, the three teacups filled with black tea flew automatically to the coffee table beside them, coming to a steady stop, the black tea in the cups swaying slightly, releasing an enticing aroma.

Just then, Wang Xiaoyi expressed his willingness to join the adventure team. Upon hearing this, Guild Master Winnie's lips curled into a slight smile, her expression like that of a wise woman who had already foreseen the outcome, as if this answer had been expected all along. She simply shrugged her slender shoulders gently, like a flower branch swaying lightly in the wind, and then parted her lips to utter only two words: "Okay."

Alpha and Allen, who had been trembling slightly with tension, relaxed like two taut bowstrings upon hearing those two words, letting out a long sigh of relief. Their hearts had been a jumble of emotions, a mixture of feelings. They were terrified of rejection, so they had racked their brains on the way here, preparing many ways to persuade Guild Master Winnie. For example, "Although we are low-level, newcomers have unlimited potential, like seeds buried in the ground; who can guarantee they won't grow into towering trees someday?" "Although we are not very useful now, we are willing to study hard, improve our strength as quickly as possible, and contribute to the adventure team."

President Winnie's gaze was sharp, like that of a seasoned hunter, easily piercing through their inner turmoil and longing. She gently waved her hand, the movement elegant and composed, as if dispelling the surrounding gloom and bringing a refreshing breeze. Her voice was soft and magnetic, like a clear spring flowing through a mountain stream, as she said, "Your strength is too weak to be of much use in this mission, but I still agree to let you join, after all, I am quite kind-hearted."

Upon hearing President Winnie's words, Wang Xiaoyi, like a keen cheetah catching its prey's trail, seized the perfect opportunity to unleash his praise magic. In his heart, a voice seemed to be shouting, "Now!" Although the words of praise swirling in his mind brought back slightly embarrassing memories—after all, saying such things aloud always felt awkward, like a shy child trying to utter those cheesy yet sincere words—it was a moment of awkwardness.

However, Wang Xiaoyi turned to look at Alpha and Allen, and felt a sense of peace wash over him. The three of them had ventured together into this world of unknowns and challenges, weathering storms and sharing joys. They were no longer strangers, but brothers. In the presence of such companions, words of praise seemed less difficult to utter.

So, Wang Xiaoyi took a deep breath, his eyes shining with sincere and fervent light, and began to praise President Winnie. "President Winnie, your kindness is truly like the warm winter sun, warming everyone like us who are groping our way forward alone in this world of adventure. Your tolerance is like a vast and boundless ocean; no matter how small and inadequate we are, we can be embraced and accepted by you, just as countless streams converge into the sea."

He paused briefly, glanced at President Winnie's wise and dignified face, and continued, "Your magnanimity is beyond imagination; it's as if the whole world can be contained within you. Your willingness to mentor newcomers is even more commendable. In this adventurous world where the strong are respected and newcomers are often overlooked, you are like a beacon, illuminating the path for us newcomers and showing us hope and the future."

Wang Xiaoyi's gaze grew increasingly reverent, and his voice trembled slightly with a hint of admiration: "Moreover, you are exceptionally understanding, as if you can see right through us. Look, you just so easily discerned our thoughts and treated us with such kindness." A shy yet sincere smile appeared on his face as he said this. "Most importantly, you are truly beautiful inside and out, and you exude a unique charm. This charm isn't just your outward youthful vitality, but rather emanates from the depths of your heart, attracting us adventurers like a magnet. You are like a dazzling star, playing an irreplaceable guiding role in our adventure."

Hearing the praise, President Winnie blushed slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips. The smile held a hint of surprise and satisfaction; she was clearly pleased with Wang Xiaoyi's compliment. Alpha and Allen, listening nearby, nodded in agreement. They felt Wang Xiaoyi's words were spot-on; in their hearts, President Winnie possessed these admirable qualities.

As the system's unique notification sound rang out, a crisp "ding" echoed clearly in the quiet space, like the gentle chime of a wind chime breaking the silence. A message box immediately popped up in front of Wang Xiaoyi's eyes, prominently displaying "Gratitude Points +80".

Wang Xiaoyi was secretly delighted, having successfully earned another wave of gratitude points.

I feel like I haven't properly praised the system in several chapters. System, no, I mean the incomparable, extraordinary, omniscient, omnipotent, generous, far-sighted, thoughtful, and tireless System Master, I still have some things to attend to right now. But rest assured, once I've taken care of everything, I will definitely express my sincerest and most fervent gratitude to you tonight.

Refocusing his thoughts, Wang Xiaoyi looked up and saw President Winnie smiling at him. That smile seemed to hold countless mysterious vortexes, making him feel a little uneasy. He wondered to himself, what was the president up to now? Was she planning to put him on a more dangerous mission in the upcoming adventure, or was she testing some special ability of his?

Guild Leader Winnie looked at the three of them, tilted her head slightly, and said softly, "My original plan was to have my subordinates take you little guys to run dungeons and do quests, leveling you up as many times as you can, so that you wouldn't be too weak when we set off in 15 days. However, the more I look at the three of you, the more pleasing you seem, and you're quite the charmer you are. So, I've taken pity on you and decided to personally take you to run dungeons and do quests. You're not allowed to praise me for being kind-hearted or beautiful, okay? I'm not the kind of woman who's easily swayed by sweet words."

Alpha and Allen's eyes widened instantly upon hearing Guild Master Winnie's words, their mouths agape. They were filled with surprise and excitement. In their minds, Guild Master Winnie was a Gold-level adventurer! How incredibly lucky they would be to be led by such a powerful being to fight monsters and level up! Their minds instantly conjured up all sorts of wonderful fantasies: What kind of difficult quest would they take on? Would it be an extremely challenging mission that would rapidly increase their strength? Or would they encounter powerful monsters of what level? Every imagining made their hearts race, their faces beaming with barely suppressed anticipation, as if they could already see themselves walking the glorious path to power under the guidance of a strong figure.

From President Winnie's words, Wang Xiaoyi and his companions learned an important piece of news—they would be embarking on their adventure in 15 days. This news filled them with both excitement and nervousness. They were excited because they could finally set off on the adventure they had long dreamed of; they were nervous because their levels were still relatively low, with even the highest-ranking, Allen, only reaching level 22.

Facing the upcoming adventure, they knew their strength was far from sufficient. During their journey, they would encounter all sorts of dangers: ferocious beasts, cunning enemies, and unknown natural disasters. To better cope with these dangers, they must make full use of these two weeks for intensive training.

The special training process was undoubtedly arduous, but they were filled with determination and perseverance. They would improve their level through constant battles and honing their skills, thereby increasing their self-defense capabilities. Every battle, every defeat, would become a stepping stone for their growth.
