Cheng Jia.

Ling Xiaoyue muttered the name. Back in school, she'd accidentally discovered he came from a prominent family. Not some side branch, but a true, genuine, only-seed descendant. Once he'd accumulated enough experience, he'd be able to directly take over the power delegated from above.

I may not be able to contact the president of gf university as I am now a retired graduate and unemployed at home.

Besides, he was genuine and didn't want to get involved in any factional disputes. He just wanted to be a neutral party and serve the country wholeheartedly. So, there was no better choice than Cheng Jia at the moment.

But... thinking about that incident, Ling Xiaoyue was still a little hesitant. After all, he had embarrassed the other person, and it had been over two years, plus a year and a half at school, so almost three and a half years without any contact. He wasn't sure if this guy would try to trick him.

No matter what, since I have decided to hand it over, as long as I stand firm, it doesn’t matter who I look for. The problem that needs to be solved now is to prepare everything before the refresh at midnight.

And they were all alumni from GF. There was no reason to embarrass myself, I was actually giving him merit.

It's already four o'clock in the afternoon, and there are about eight hours until the next refresh.

Ling Xiaoyue pressed the voice call button.

The call was picked up after just two rings. Ling Xiaoyue hadn't expected it to be connected so quickly. After all, considering how much she valued Cheng Jia, there was no way she was going to let Cheng Jia have time to play with his phone.

"Comrade Ling Xiaoyue." Wen Ya's voice was a little distorted by the electric current.

Cheng Jia had just returned to the dormitory from the infirmary after changing some medicine. Half leaning back on the bed, resting his eyes, he heard his personal cell phone vibrate in his pocket. He opened it and saw it was Ling Xiaoyue calling. Cheng Jia sat up straight and pressed the answer button.

"Comrade Cheng Jia." Ling Xiaoyue paused. "Is it convenient for you now?"

"It's convenient. Comrade Ling Xiaoyue, if you have anything to say, please feel free to tell me." Cheng Jia added, "I'm in the dormitory now."

Hearing that the person on the other end of the phone seemed to be relieved, Cheng Jia couldn't help but feel a little excited, but at the same time, his heart was also lifted.

"Then I won't beat around the bush. Time is of the essence. I'll just get straight to the point."

"I know what I'm about to say is unbelievable, and you might think I'm crazy or something, but please confirm it before you make any conclusions."

Cheng Jia's heart raced even more as he listened to Ling Xiaoyue's emphasis. Even on the battlefield, he'd never been this nervous. His palms sweated.

"Could I first confirm where you are, Comrade Ling Xiaoyue?"

"Ah, it's in the resettlement community on Shengquan Street in S City. It's the address I filled in when I enrolled."

"Then please go ahead, Comrade Ling Xiaoyue." Cheng Jia put on his shoes and stood up, gesturing for the guards to arrange a car, as he was going to the city under his jurisdiction.

"Do you know the system?" Ling Xiaoyue didn't know how to start, so she asked with her eyes closed.

Cheng Jia smiled faintly, "How could I not know, Comrade Ling Xiaoyue, don't think I'm too old-fashioned. I also read novels when I was in school."

Listening to the other person's jokes, Ling Xiaoyue gradually relaxed and spoke more casually. "Haha, that's great. I just wanted to tell you that I bound a system today."

Cheng Jia...silent...

When Ling Xiaoyue asked the system's question, he already had a premonition. He didn't expect it to come true. Even more unexpected was the way Ling Xiaoyue phrased it...

It’s like calling someone specifically to tell them, “Look, I won five million.”

"Well? Congratulations?" Cheng Jia said in agreement.

"Hahahaha, hahahahahahahaha yeah, it's time to congratulate, hahahahaha."

Hearing the laughter from the other side, Cheng Jia also relaxed. Being able to laugh so happily, it seemed that she had no critical situation and must have had a good life in the past few years.

"No more haha," Ling Xiaoyue said after laughing enough, "You didn't even have a doubt? You accepted it so calmly. I'm not kidding you."

"I know you're not joking." Cheng Jia said seriously, "If it wasn't true, you wouldn't have contacted me on your own initiative."

Ling Xiaoyue was silent for two seconds, then made up his mind and said, "Damn it, I didn't hear you."

"Anyway, I have this thing here. Please arrange for a reliable person to come over as soon as possible so we can discuss it in person. I also hope you can contact the research team and get in touch with all parties involved. As for the other communication issues, we can try another channel."

"Don't worry. You can tell me all the requests you can make right now. I guess you're in a hurry, right?"

"Wow, Cheng Jia, how come you're still so smart?" Ling Xiaoyue sighed. "It's nothing else, just get some more supplies. Before midnight, we'll set up something like a supermarket to get by. The rest can be done later."

"Before midnight, the more supplies the better, and the more diverse the better, right?" Cheng Jia and Ling Xiaoyue confirmed.

"Yes, that's right." Ling Xiaoyue confirmed.

"Then, are you safe now?" Cheng Jia asked finally.

"It's safe, it's safe. What's unsafe about it? I'm staying at home. I won't be going out today. Please arrange for someone to come here as soon as possible. I almost forgot to take the things here. Please send a veterinarian as soon as possible. If you can save it, then save it. If you can't save it, then you can only eat meat."

"Okay, I've arranged for someone to go over there." Cheng Jia put down the intercom with his left hand, called the guard over and gestured to arrange a helicopter directly.

"Is there anything else you need?" Cheng Jia asked again.

"No, could you please be quiet when you come here? Don't let anyone see us. There are too many people in this neighborhood. If someone notices us, my parents will know, and I don't want my mom to worry."

"Okay." Cheng Jia agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Ling Xiaoyue sat beside the bunk bed in a daze. "Is it solved just like that? Haha, I admire myself." Ling Xiaoyue was happy. Looking at the pile of things on the ground that was as high as her waist, she let it go with peace of mind.

Will meat go bad if it's not refrigerated? So what? My fridge and freezer wouldn't even hold half of that amount of meat. That long-eared rabbit alone would fill an entire freezer. So what? I can just leave it on the floor. I can just turn on the air conditioning.

Ling Xiaoyue became happy again and was proud of her own cleverness.

Ling Xiaoyue glanced at the ore on the ground. She picked up the gold and gemstones, thinking of making some jewelry for her mother. After a moment's thought, she put them back. She was going to own a galaxy someday, so what did these little things mean? Her mother had taught her that if you have a lofty goal, you should just keep moving towards it, not dwelling on the scenery along the way, because everything will be your trophy when you reach the end. Besides, these ores simply looked like gemstones from Earth; who knew if they were radioactive? She'd better wait until the research institute had tested them and confirmed they were all fine before bringing them back.

Ling Xiaoyue laughed and walked out of the second bedroom with the magic paper she had exchanged at the window.

"Does the host like those colorful stones?" The system popped up in his mind again.

As soon as Taohua arrived, the system had returned to the system space. It wasn't that the system was self-aware or anything, it was simply out of power. It was lacking energy.

"What? Can you identify those stones?" Ling Xiaoyue was lying on the sofa with his legs crossed.

"I can scan it, host. Do you require this service?"

"It costs money, right?" Ling Xiaoyue touched a piece of dental floss.

“It doesn’t cost any money…”

"Oh? Tell me about it?" Ling Xiaoyue became interested and picked up a toothpick to continue picking her teeth.

"As long as I have full energy to use these functions, I don't need to spend money. In fact, the money the host spends is also used to buy energy to recharge me. So as long as the host has full energy, the system on the main brain will directly deduct my energy when using these functions."

"After all, doesn't it still cost money?" Ling Xiaoyue stood up to brush her teeth. The chili peppers from the self-heating hot pot she had just eaten seemed to be stuck between her teeth.

"But the host now has more resources for self-defense," the system said pitifully. "Although it cost money, there's a saying on Earth: always be wary of others. After connecting to Earth's network, I saw a lot. The host is seeking national cooperation, right? Is the host sure that the person you contacted is truly trustworthy? How can the host be sure that the person he contacted is also trustworthy?"

"Then what do you say we should do? Isn't there a protective shield? I can just put one on myself."

The system was speechless. As expected, it was exposed too early. "Ah, alas! Poor me, just entering the workforce and already having a shady boss withhold my salary. Since that's the case, I'll have to unleash my ultimate weapon." The system hummed inwardly.

"Host, I have more than just a scanning function. Do you see that gray dial on the system panel? As long as my energy recovers to 30%, this dial will be usable. By spending money, you can use the dial to determine where the time-space portal will open or claim rewards from the main system, such as magic paper and scrolls from the magic plane, and cultivation techniques and spiritual artifacts from the immortal plane. You can also directly consume a specific plane, or specify the number and time of time-space portals to open."

Ling Xiaoyue suppressed the wicked villain in her heart. She feigned disinterest and said, "Are these the only functions? But I don't see that many on the system panel."

"That's because we don't have enough energy. To conserve it, we've hidden everything." The system explained, "Host, don't be greedy. The more functions you have, the weaker your abilities are, because you only have so much energy. The fewer functions you have, the stronger your abilities are. It's because of specialization."

Ling Xiaoyue's eyes flashed with a gleam. "Does that mean you know everything that happens within your scanning range? And why don't you just say it directly when you're turning on the power saving mode? Why don't you be so roundabout?"

"Yes, host, and the more powerful the energy, the wider the scanning range."

"How big can it be at most?"

"For this unidentified host, the data for each system is the same, but when it comes to scanning, the capabilities of each system will change over time. Even the main system doesn't know why, and even if it did, it would be classified as confidential and wouldn't be shared with us, the newly graduated small systems. However, with my current capabilities, if my energy reaches 30%, I can cover the entire China."

"Wait two more hours. Once the person I'm waiting for arrives, we'll start dividing the profits."

After brushing his teeth, Ling Xiaoyue took a shower and lay down on the sofa to take a nap.

I had just laid down and looked at my phone for a while before feeling sleepy when I heard a rhythmic knock on the door.

Ling Xiaoyue: ...

Ling Xiaoyue didn't get up immediately, but lay on the bed waiting for his mind to clear.

Then, the phone rang.

Press Answer.

"Comrade Ling Xiaoyue, please open the door."
