The bad value system is measuring values.

Chapter 55 Difficult Topic Selection

System: "Host, you did not execute the option as required, so the plot cancellation is invalid."

Qiao Xiao responded lazily.

"System, how much more energy do you need to upgrade?"

System: "36 o'clock".

Qiao Xiao: "Deduct it directly."

System: "Deducting... Your remaining energy is 40. The system is upgrading... Upgrade successful. Current system level is five. Shop unlocked. One strategy slot obtained. Current strategy slot is 6."

Qiao Xiao: "Open the store, let me see what they have?"

In-store: Today's limited-time offer - Speed-up Pack.

Qiao Xiao: "Why is there only one?"

System: "There's only one per day, and it will be updated constantly, host."

Qiao Xiao: "How much energy is needed to purchase it?"

System: "Ten o'clock."

Qiao Xiao: "I want to buy it."

System: "Purchase successful, acceleration package obtained."

The acceleration pack speeds up the flow of time, allowing you to quickly travel to three months later without skipping important plot points. It must be used within six months.

Qiao Xiao: "Does that mean I won't get any more combat points or favorability points every day?"

System: "Yes, host."

Qiao Xiao: "Wait a little longer."

...

System notification: "Gained 1500 combat points, in the process of leaving the underground black factory... Successful escape."

She lay dead on the bed, her body stiff and rigid, harder than a wooden board. She had worked her way up her body slightly, gaining some muscle.

She was fast asleep when, unexpectedly, there was a knock at the door. It was very soft, but it was very jarring.

"Yan Rui?"

The sound, like the sound of melting snow, was Jiang Yu.

Exhausted, she still got up and, dragging the bitterness in her heart, moved with difficulty to the door.

Qiao Xiao opened the door and asked, "What's wrong in the middle of the night?"

Jiang Yu: "Are you asleep?"

Qiao Xiao: "Isn't it already ten o'clock?!"

Jiang Yu thought to himself, "Isn't it only ten o'clock?"

"There's a fight going on at home. Can I come here to avoid it?"

Qiao Xiao: "Okay, but you can only sleep on the sofa. Don't go anywhere else except the toilet."

Jiang Yu: "It's okay, I brought the test questions. I can do my homework over at the dining table."

This child is hopeless.

She truly admired the perseverance of these top students; it was incredible.

Qiao Xiao: "Whatever you want. Normal page turning is fine, just don't make any other noise."

She had been suffering from insomnia recently. She could only fall asleep when she was completely exhausted, but even then, it wasn't deep sleep, just light sleep.

Jiang Yu carefully worked on the exercises. He was highly focused and quickly got into the zone. He was very grateful to his savior. His goal was to get into a top-tier university with a 100% success rate, obtain a master's degree, and achieve great success in his career.

To give an example, Jiang Yu would be willing to be a servant in his next life so that Qiao Xiao could be his master.

His purpose in earning money was to give it to Qiao Xiaohua.

To be honest, someone with such a handsome and charming appearance and such a deep and calculating personality unexpectedly has a very ordinary and unpretentious mind.

"Yan Rui, I will do everything I can to make your future bright."

Qiao Xiao stared speechlessly at the light shining through the crack in the door. "What's going on?"

She took a few books and stuffed them underneath; she knew that books were the ladder of human progress.

"Similarly, it's also a very good prop."

She admitted that she hated studying and loathed it, otherwise she wouldn't have never used Yan Rui's identity to attend class.

She took a shower in the ensuite bathroom and then lay comfortably on the bed.

The house is soundproof, so neither of us can disturb the other.

In the middle of the night, Qiao Xiao writhed as an inexplicable, excruciating pain struck her.

The pain felt like an invisible hand twisting her abdomen, wave after wave, almost unbearable. She felt a heaviness and bloating in her abdomen, as if a huge boulder was pressing down on it, making it impossible for her to straighten her body.

Qiao Xiao clutched her stomach with both hands, her face pale with pain, cold sweat pouring down her forehead, and her lips trembling slightly as she said, "Could it be that my period has started? Why does it hurt so much?"

She knew in her heart that she was not the type of person who was prone to menstrual cramps, but the pain at this moment was unbearable for her.

Even the excruciating pain she had experienced before paled in comparison to a fraction of what she felt now. It was as if countless frightened wild horses had trampled over her belly, leaving her breathless.

Qiao Xiao felt like she was about to collapse. Her voice was trembling with tears as she helplessly bit her lip: "I really can't hold on anymore..."

This damn pain felt like it was going to take her life away.

Hearing the noise coming from Qiao Xiao's room, Jiang Yu's heart tightened, and the pen in his hand stopped instantly. Without hesitation, he stood up and ran nervously towards Qiao Xiao's room.

Jiang Yu knocked on the door urgently and asked with concern, "Yan Rui, what's wrong? Are you alright?"

Qiao Xiao weakly replied, "I... my stomach hurts so much..." Jiang Yu was extremely anxious. He quickly racked his brains, recalling the first aid knowledge he had learned before. He thought it might be acute appendicitis, so he decided to call an ambulance immediately.

While waiting for the ambulance, Jiang Yu held Qiao Xiao's hand tightly, trying to give her some comfort and strength.

He said softly, "Don't be afraid, the ambulance will be here soon, you'll be alright."

Shortly after, the ambulance arrived, and the paramedics lifted Qiao Xiao onto a stretcher and took her to the hospital.

Jiang Yu followed closely behind, silently praying that she would be safe and sound.

At the hospital, doctors gave Qiao Xiao an emergency examination and treatment.

After diagnosis, it was found that she did not have acute appendicitis, but rather a cyst in her uterus.

Qiao Xiao questioned the system: "Why does my body have this problem?"

System: "For the sake of the plot, host."

Qiao Xiao: "This requires surgery, and I don't want to have surgery." She looked resistant. "How much energy can be deducted?"

System: "10 o'clock".

Qiao Xiao: "Deduct it directly."

System: "This is a medical miracle, host. You can't be so willful. The current system level is 5, and the settings are basically consistent with the real world. Please do not do anything that is contrary to common sense."

Qiao Xiao: "Then can you return the energy to me? I want to downgrade."

System: "No, host."

Qiao Xiao: "Then what should we do?"

System: "Unlock new storyline - Care, automatically triggering romance option selection. Please select a suitable romance target."

A Glance at the Scenery

Erjiangyu

San Shen Mirror

Four Qin Yan

Note: If the target's success rate is below 50, that target cannot be selected.

Of the four options, only Shen Jing is grayed out.

Qiao Xiao: "First of all, Gu Jinghe can't take care of me at all. Secondly, Jiang Yu still has to go to school. Thirdly, Qin Yan is unstable. There are two of them. Neither of them is acceptable. I choose to let myself fend for myself."

System: "Please make a choice as soon as possible. If you fail to make a choice within ten seconds, the system will automatically select 198...321 for you."

"The system has made selections for you. The selected candidates are Gu Jinghe, Jiang Yu, and Qin Yan. Shen Jing cannot be selected because his favorability rating is not high enough."

Qiao Xiao: "Huh? More choices."
