The bad value system is measuring values.

Chapter 41 Superpower Consumption

Shen Jing's eyes darted around, and he looked at Qin Yan. "Lin Feng, that bad guy, I've met him before."

Qin Yan interjected, "Where?"

Shen Jing: "Let me think, in the place where we're being renovated." He turned to look at Qiao Xiao, "Big sister, have you seen him? Sometimes he comes to visit us with some important people."

Qiao Xiao: "Sorry, I've forgotten all my previous memories, I can't remember them."

It doesn't matter, I'll just tell any lie.

Her gaze was unfocused, and Qin Yan happened to see it.

Shen Jing believed it immediately, and he angrily asked, "What did they do to you, sister?!"

Qiao Xiao was surprised; she had actually succeeded in her deception. Congratulations!

Her expression remained serious. "Alright, that's all in the past. We'll deal with the rest later. What do you want to eat now?"

Shen Jing's feet, which had been suspended in mid-air, landed on the ground. "Alright then, I'll definitely find a chance to play a trick on them." Turning her head excitedly, she said, "Sister! Sister! I want to eat candied hawthorns."

"Yes! Candied hawthorn berries, I want to eat them."

Qiao Xiao: "And you, Qin Yan?"

Qin Yan: "I want to go with you."

Qiao Xiao looked puzzled and refused, saying, "It's getting late, my roommate will be back soon, and it's inconvenient for me to bring you back."

Qin Yan: "You can't travel now?"

Qiao Xiao went along with it: "Yes, it consumes energy, so you can't use too much of it."

Shen Jing chimed in, "Yes, big brother, the use of our superpowers is limited."

Qiao Xiao: "Excessive energy consumption will deplete physical strength, causing the body to become weak, just like him."

After saying that, Shen Jing fell straight to the ground, like a robot whose automatic program had been destroyed.

Her words were not unfounded; they were a prompt given to her by the system.

Qiao Xiao: "You stay here and watch over him, I'll go buy dinner."

On the way back, Qiao Xiao was carrying a large bag of things. She was on the verge of tears. She had worked so hard to earn money, but she spent it so easily.

Qiao Xiao couldn't help but vent her emotions: "If I hadn't gotten up late today, I wouldn't have missed Jiang Yu's morning reading. Why did the storylines involving Gu Jinghe, Shen Jing, and Qin Yan have to be scheduled on the same day?"

She felt physically and mentally exhausted by this illogical arrangement.

Just then, the phone rang.

"Hello, are you Ms. Qiao Xiao?" The voice sounded like that of a mature and charming woman.

Qiao Xiao: "Are you Gu Jinghe's advisor? I have completed the necessary procedures with the relevant departments and am contacting you now to ask if your school can inform me of the resumption date."

"Yes, we will get back to you as soon as possible."

Qiao Xiao: "Okay, thank you."

As soon as she hung up the phone, Qiao Xiao fell into deep thought. "I wonder how Gu Jinghe is doing? I've been gone for so long, will he suspect anything? Or will he act impulsively?" There was a hint of worry in her calm tone.

"No, he's become very obedient now."

She comforted herself, forcing herself to feel no hindrance.

However, unseen by Qiao Xiao, a person had opened the door wide. The door was like a time machine, perfectly illustrating the concept of yin and yang. A full moon hung in front of the door, while he sat in meditation behind it.

Gu Jinghe only hoped that on this vast plain before him, a familiar face he had been longing for would appear.

The moonlight shone on his lonely body.

"So, the moonlight is cold."

Gu Jinghe's clear, emerald eyes glistened with tears, which fell like full pearls. His golden hair was smooth, like an abandoned golden retriever. As a loyal servant guarding the Forbidden City, he waited at the city gate for his lord's return.
