The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

He slept until the evening of the next day, but when he woke up, Lu Shibing did not feel refreshed, but felt even more tired.

She held her aching forehead, as if she had not slept enough, but she no longer had the desire to sleep.

"System, that's enough. Give him all the points."

The system stirred the corner of its clothes and stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence.

"If you have something to say, just say it. What's the purpose of having a mouth?"

The system exhaled, "Then I'll be frank."

"Xie Yue is wearing it. He has a high fever now. Even though I have the points, I won't save him. It's like he's waiting to die."

"I think you should go and see him. Otherwise, with his current health, he'll be left with a chronic illness even after returning."

"Ah."

A hint of sarcasm escaped Lu Shi's lips. "He's really stupid. He uses other people's mistakes to hurt himself. Does he think anyone will feel sorry for him?"

"So," the system blinked, "Host, are you going?"

"……go."

Lu Shi said that Xie Yue was stupid, but he was indeed walking very fast. It didn't take long for them to reach the Regent's Palace.

Ignoring the guards blocking the door, she simply disappeared and entered Xie Yue's room unhindered.

There were no servants in the room. I heard that Xie Yue had driven everyone out and refused to let anyone call for a doctor. It seemed that he had broken off all ties with His Majesty and was determined to die.

The following words need to be verified, but this man really looks like he is about to die.

His face was pale, his lips were blue-gray, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Lu Shi measured the temperature of his forehead and found it was very hot, but his body was cold.

The high fever could be life-threatening if it doesn't go away.

He took out a pill from the space and fed it into Xie Yue's mouth. His condition improved visibly.

The high fever subsided, the body returned to normal temperature, and the complexion became rosy.

But it still didn't look good, because Xie Yue had grown a lot of beard on his face overnight, which was very different from his previous refreshing image.

After thinking about it, Lu Shi felt that this person probably didn't like the way he looked now.

She waved her hand gently, a flash of light passed, and the person on the bed returned to his previous clean and cold appearance.

Not the queen, not the regent, but Xie Yue as he really is—a cold and aloof university professor.

Because he was going back, Lu Shi simply cut his hair. He didn't know what his hairstyle was like in that world, so Lu Shi cut a hairstyle for him based on his own aesthetic taste.

She thought, Xie Yue must be like this in her heart——

A cool and clean flower on the mountain top that is detached from the mundane world.

She was lucky enough to have it, and this world was worth it.

"System, give him all the points."

"it is good."

As soon as he finished speaking, the system in Xie Yue's mind made a mechanical sound.

【--bite!】

[Current task progress: 50%.]

【integral:】

[The requirements for returning home have been met. Points will be deducted and you will return home immediately. Do you want to deduct them? ]

[If the host does not respond, the system will automatically check the box after 10 seconds.]

【——10!】

【——9!】

……

【——2!】

【——1!】

[The home option has been checked, home countdown: 60 minutes.]

[Please host be prepared. 】

At the same time, the system in Lu Shi's brain also began to warn Lu Shi.

"Host, the mission has failed. We will be heading to the next world in half an hour."

"Host, do you want to find a better burial site for yourself?"

The system was still in the mood to joke, laughing in Lu Shi's mind, making Lu Shi's head hurt.

Suddenly, Lu Shi noticed that the person on the bed showed signs of waking up.

The moment Xie Yue opened his eyes, Lu Shi disappeared from the spot.

Xie Yue opened his eyes, and a breeze blew across his face, carrying a hint of familiar smell.

The system in my mind spoke, "Host, you have enough points, you can go home."

Xie Yue was stunned by the sudden news, as if time had stopped at that moment.

My heart was beating so hard it seemed like it was going to burst out of my chest.

Xie Yue couldn't believe his ears and repeatedly confirmed with the system until he got a positive answer again, and then he woke up from his dream.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his eyes sparkled with a glass-like light, like the morning sun, emitting a faint warmth in the dim room.

He straightened up from the bed, his voice filled with uncontrollable joy: "System, I can go home now."

Immersed in joy, Xie Yue thought about what he would do after returning home. He would visit his parents, hang out with friends, and eat his favorite food...

But he soon discovered something was wrong. Where was his hair?

Didn't he remember that he had a high fever?

Also, where did his points come from?

"System, why do I suddenly have so many extra points?"

"A gift from someone else."

"Are there other taskers in this world?"

“Yes, but it’s rare.”

"Why did he give me points?"

Points have always been very precious in his eyes, so why would they be given to him for free?

The system's mechanical voice also carried some doubt. "I'm not sure. I heard from that senior system that they seemed to have failed their mission, so they kindly gave us all their points without leaving a single cent."

“Then I really thank them.”

No matter what, it's good to be able to go back.

But after a while of joy, I suddenly thought of that person again.

His expression changed slightly, and the curve of his lips slowly disappeared.

"Did she come here just now?"

"Who? The little emperor? She was here, and she hasn't left yet. She's hiding behind a screen not far away."

Hearing this, Xie Yue raised his eyes and looked over there.

"Come out, I know you're there."

Xie Yue's voice was indifferent, without the grief and indignation of yesterday. Today he seemed to treat Lu Shi as an ordinary stranger.

Lu Shi walked out from behind the screen in confusion and slowly came to Xie Yue's bed.

"How did you know I was there?"

At this moment, the system in Xie Yue's mind excitedly shouted: "Host, it's her. She is the one who gave us all the points. I remember the system on her body!"

Lu Shi: "..."

The system spoke in Xie Yue's head. In principle, Lu Shi could not hear it. Only Xie Yue could hear it.

But Lu Shi is not an ordinary person, and her system is more advanced than Xie Yue's.

Lu Shi could hear their conversation from beginning to end.

The system in Lu Shi’s head screamed, “Ahhh! I forgot to turn off the permissions I enabled when transferring points just now, and the system discovered it!”

Lu Shi: "..."

No wonder the system knew she was hiding behind the screen.

"You dog system, turn off your permissions! Don't talk to me before you go to the next world. Also, turn off the conversation between Xie Yue and the system in his head. Why are you eavesdropping on other people's privacy?"

Lu Shi was in an extremely speechless state, so naturally he failed to notice in time Xie Yue's expression which changed drastically like a sudden change in the weather.

"You have a system too?"

"Yes, and it's much more advanced than yours."

Lu Shi raised his head and put his hands on his hips, showing the cocky look that Xie Yue was familiar with.

"So I promised you before that nothing would happen to you. Now you believe it, right?"

Believe?

Xie Yue thought he should believe it, but he didn't want to believe it.
