Nini opened her eyes while being shaken. Her face was full of pain and she looked very uncomfortable.
Donna carefully brought a bowl of oatmeal to her daughter's bedside. "Come on, get up and drink."
"No, I'll throw up if I drink. Mom, aren't we there yet? I hate boat rides. I always feel dizzy when I'm on a boat."
"It's almost time, it should be today. Come, I'll help you get up and eat something. How can you survive without food?"
After reluctantly drinking half a bowl of porridge, Nini couldn't eat any more. She looked up at Dongna behind her. "Mom, where are we going? Why did I leave the Crown of the World?"
"Child, we are going to Hope Island. Hope Island is great. I heard that no one there was killed by the death ray, and everyone there can have enough food to eat."
"And the person who drew the lottery also said that if we go, he can give us a house for free!"
Speaking of this, Donna's expression seemed very excited. She never thought that she was selected just for the urge to join in the fun. Her luck seemed to be getting better.
She carefully took out the lottery ticket, looked at it carefully, and then put it back carefully.
"Well... is that so... But riding on a boat is too tiring. I don't want to ride on a boat. It's swaying all over and makes me dizzy." Nini said with a bitter face.
"No, no, this is the last time. Mom promises you." Donna comforted.
Just then, there was a sudden exclamation from the deck outside.
Donna suddenly became nervous, thinking she had encountered pirates, and she quickly ran to the window nearby.
When she opened the window and saw the scenery outside, a happy smile appeared on her face. "Nini, come and see, we are here."
Nini, feeling weak all over, got out of bed and walked towards her mother. When she saw the scenery outside, her eyes suddenly lit up.
A golden island appeared in front of him, and ships from all directions rushed towards it.
Against the backdrop of a gray background, this scene looks particularly spectacular.
"Is this Hope Island? It's so beautiful." Nini didn't care about the discomfort of seasickness at this time and couldn't help but sigh.
The passenger ship slowly approached the shore. When Nini touched the ground, she didn't even bother to look at the scenery which was completely different from the crown of the world, and immediately cheered excitedly.
It feels so good to step on the ground again. Finally, I don’t have to experience the feeling of everything shaking.
Donna, who was carrying a lot of bags, had no time to pay attention to her daughter. She looked around in surprise at the scenery that was completely different from the Crown of the World.
The most distinctive feature is the huge black shed above, which completely covers the entire island. Rays of sunlight shine down obliquely, illuminating the extremely prosperous city below.
The dock below the greenhouse was bustling with people and vehicles, with mail trucks and freight trucks shuttling back and forth.
The coolies who used to carry cargo at the docks have disappeared. They have been replaced by metal cranes as tall as buildings. Boxes of cargo are lifted up by hooks, which makes things much more efficient.
She had never seen such a strange island, neither the island she had lived on before nor the crown of the world.
The unfamiliar environment calmed Donna down. She suddenly wondered if she was too impulsive. The ryegrass in the field had just been planted, but she just abandoned it like this
But after she took out the lottery ticket and took a look at it, her heart suddenly calmed down. It was a house, a house on Hope Island.
"Let's go to 158 First Street first. It says that's where the prizes are redeemed. The person in charge of the prize redemption is Leonardo."
Donna took her daughter and walked towards the strange island. The First Street was the easiest to find, as it was the first street opened up on Hope Island.
However, when she arrived at the place, Donna was stunned. In front of her was a prosperous villa, which did not look like a place to redeem prizes at all.
Just as Donna was hesitating whether to go in, a gorgeous stretched car drove in.
Leonardo, who was holding documents, had just walked out from inside. He seemed to hear some sound and immediately turned his head to look at the door. He saw a mother and daughter in simple clothes standing at the door of his house.
The mother held a wriggling tentacle with black scales in her hand and kept looking at herself.
Leonardo thought for a moment, threw the document in his hand into the arms of the secretary beside him, and strode towards them.
"Hello, ma'am, how can I help you?" Leonardo's etiquette was impeccable, but it made Donna feel even more nervous.
"Sir... are we going to redeem the prize here? Or is this just a prank?" Donna stammered as she handed over the prize ticket with both hands.
Leonardo looked at the wriggling tentacles stretched out by the other party, was slightly stunned, and then took them with both hands.
The tentacles crawled and wrapped around Leonardo's arm, finally coming to his ear hole.
An identical tentacle stretched out from Leonardo's ear, and after the two tentacles entangled with each other, he immediately knew everything.
"Ah~! I remember now. Yes, that's right. Our company did hold a lucky draw at the World Championship. You didn't come for such a long time, and we thought you had given up. That's why we didn't react at the time. I'm really sorry."
"Come on, please get in the car with your daughter. We will take you to redeem your prize."
Enthusiastic Leonardo whispered a few words to his secretary, then immediately took Donna, who didn't understand what was going on, into his car.
The car started and immediately drove towards the residential area of Hope Island except the central area of the island. Leonardo drove himself.
As a former swindler, Leonardo, who was good at speaking, quickly made Donna relax her guard and the two of them quickly started chatting.
"Mr. Leonardo, thank you so much. I thought this was a scam, but I didn't expect it to be true. This is really great." Donna said with a smile.
"Haha, don't worry, our company will never lie to you. Since you are lucky, you deserve the prize. By the way, you just came to the island and don't have a job yet, right? Are you willing to come to work in our factory?"
Dongna clutched her clothes tightly with both hands, still unable to hide her excitement. "I... can I really do it? But I only know how to farm, nothing else."
"It's OK, as long as you can read and take your work seriously."
Soon the car stopped in front of a brand new two-story house. When Donna got out of the car, a house transfer contract appeared in front of her.
