The bad value system is measuring values.

Chapter 44 Breakthrough 80

Qiao Xiao: "System, do I have to ask about these things? (Can't you just bring them up yourself?)" she said through gritted teeth.

System: "Yes, host. Note: As the system level continues to increase, the settings of the targets will become more complete and personalized, and new storylines will emerge with their own consciousness."

Qiao Xiao: "Okay."

System notification: "Target number one's health is decreasing, please take immediate action."

Qiao Xiao: "Teleport quickly!"

What came into view was Gu Jinghe, thin and slumped on the ground. Qiao Xiao quickly helped him up and called out several times, "Gu Jinghe! Gu Jinghe!"

Gu Jinghe slightly opened his eyes and saw the face of the person in front of him clearly.

It is the light reflecting the moon.

He was like a drunken spring snow, his sickly eyes filled with unspeakable sorrow, and his ripples conveying his deep longing.

In Gu Jinghe's eyes, Qiao Xiao was as dazzling as a shooting star streaking across the night sky, an unattainable dream.

He was afraid he wouldn't be able to hold on.

He pleaded again, "Please don't go too far away from me, okay? Please."

Qiao Xiao: "I didn't, I... I won't."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jinghe said, "You guarantee it to God."

Qiao Xiao: "I swear to God."

Having made his vow, Gu Jinghe closed his eyes peacefully and wearily asked, "Take me back to my room, I'm tired."

Qiao Xiao: "Okay."

Their relationship is more like that of a princess and a knight than a prince and princess: a thin, sickly, and helpless princess, and a knight who is selfless and loyal in protecting her.

Her fighting skills have increased, making it incredibly easy for her to hug him.

System: "Gu Jinghe's favorability has increased by 10, with a current favorability of 82. 100 energy points have been gained, bringing the current energy value to 103. Hint: The favorability of this target has reached 80 points, enhancing character attributes."

"Gu Jinghe...can his favorability rating decrease?"

System: "Host, the lower the favorability rating, the higher the likelihood of it decreasing."

Qiao Xiao: "In other words, it's possible."

System: "Host, do not do anything dangerous. The higher the favorability rating, the less likely it is to decrease. If the rating drops too much, it will cause a backlash."

Qiao Xiao: "I didn't." She was making excuses.

"I haven't gone to the underground factory to earn combat points today."

System: "Host, don't push yourself."

Qiao Xiao argued firmly: "No! I enjoy the suffocating feeling of being filled with a bunch of things."

She settled Gu Jinghe in the room and suddenly left his warm embrace. Gu Jinghe lost his sense of security, and his thin body stiffened. "Qiao Xiao..." he suddenly grabbed her sleeve.

Qiao Xiao had no choice but to say, "System, create a substitute to keep him company in my place."

System: "Deduct two points of energy."

A person who looked exactly like her appeared before her.

In the blink of an eye, their identities were switched.

"Looking at another version of myself is truly terrifying."

Qiao Xiao couldn't help but say.

They were transported to an underground black factory.

System: "Current combat strength is 7000."

A sexy woman dressed in red velvet strolled over with cat-like steps.

"Hello, kid."

Qiao Xiao raised her eyebrows. "There's dialogue, that's interesting."

Hello, beautiful older sister.

"This kid is amazing. He must have beaten a lot of people at such a young age."

Qiao Xiao: "Sister really knows how to choose words. Using such elegant language to describe defeat, I'd be happy to call it a massacre."

She had no time for idle chatter.

"That kid has no manners at all."

Qiao Xiao's face was cold and she had no interest in paying attention to him anymore. In her eyes, the person in front of her was just a tool to boost her fighting skills and to vent her violence. There was no need to waste energy on these useless emotional issues.

"How cruel, little kid." A bloody gash appeared on her face, and her once gentle and kind expression turned ferocious. "You dare to ruin my face."

She swung her long whip forcefully and charged directly at Qiao Xiao.

Qiao Xiao: "She's gotten faster."

The struggle continued, and unsurprisingly, Qiao Xiao emerged victorious. The woman sat leaning against the railing, her initial arrogance gone, her defeated posture ultimately reduced to a pathetic state.

Qiao Xiao always preserved her dignity; the tear in her clothes did not expose her body.

However, even though her combat strength completely overwhelms her opponent, it is difficult for her to defeat her easily. Like a climber, even if she has enough physical strength, she is exhausted when she reaches the top.

System: "Currently gained 1000 combat points, continue?"

Having just defeated her opponent, Qiao Xiao hadn't adjusted her mindset yet. Even though she was always full of energy before each match, her memory was still stuck in the battle.

Qiao Xiao: "Wait a little longer, okay? I'm too tired."

Killing and bloodshed were commonplace for her.

It was an addiction, and a sin. She couldn't stop herself with her willpower, because if she left, she would feel empty, and a soul without any anchor would only become numb.

So even if she's exhausted to the point of dementia, she'll still give it her all until the very end, fully enjoying this primal form of mental stimulation.

...

System prompt: "Strength detected has reached 1500, current strength is 8500, next opponent's strength is 7200, forced disengagement, 3, 2, 1, disengagement successful."

Qiao Xiao was teleported to the villa.

Meanwhile, after Qiao Xiao left...

Qin Yan hesitated, looking conflicted, as she stood outside Qiao Xiao's room.

Qiao Xiao said, "Look at him. How do you look at him?"

Shen Jing lay motionless on the ground. Qin Yan didn't want to touch a man's body right now; she felt uneasy.

He knocked politely on the door, saying, "Excuse me." Even though no one was inside.

Qin Yan grabbed Shen Jing's clothes and dragged him directly into the bedroom.

Qiao Xiao's bedroom was exceptionally simple, clean, and tidy, reflecting a minimalist home style.

Qin Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "Luckily, I didn't see anything I shouldn't have."

At this moment, Shen Jing woke up and angrily rubbed his head. "Big brother, why did you drag me in here?!" he questioned.

Then he stood up, wanting to argue with him, but Shen Jing approached step by step, and Qin Yan's body trembled uncontrollably.

Shen Jing looked at his unusual reaction with a curious gaze, "Big brother, are you injured?"

This directly touched the place Qin Yan loathed most in his soul. His eyes flashed coldly, his expression sharp and murderous, and he pursed his thin lips, "Please stay away from me."

Shen Jing: "Brother, why do you always hate it when I get close to you? Did I do something wrong?"

Qin Yan: "Because of you, you've diverted her attention."

Shen Jing: "Her, you mean the older sister? Do you like her?"

Qin Yan's dark eyes flickered, his face tense: "Yes."

Shen Jing: "Big sister is a good person, but I don't like her. Don't worry, I won't compete with you for her older brother. After all, I'm still young, and my mother said I can't date."

Qin Yan's eyes were vacant, a chilling smile appearing on his face. "Still young?"

Shen Jing blinked and said sincerely, "Yes, I'm only 9 years old."
