Chapter 9 What the hell is gratitude value?

Shi Jiaojiao never expected that the police would directly notify Mu Ci!

What’s the difference between this and having the teacher call your parents over after you make a mistake at school?

Although she didn't think she was wrong, she couldn't help feeling a little guilty after being controlled by him for so many years.

The long-haired beauty followed Shi Jiaojiao and bumped her with her arm, "Is he your boyfriend?"

Shi Jiaojiao was speechless, "How did you know? He's my brother, okay?"

"My dear brother?" The long-haired beauty exclaimed, and her eyes moved between the two men's faces, "They don't look alike at all?"

"We are not related, but we grew up together, so we are almost related."

"Since he's not your biological brother, why don't you try harder to turn him into your lover's brother? Such a top-notch man is so popular. If someone else snatches him away, you won't be able to cry."

The long-haired beauty secretly instigated Shi Jiaojiao. In her opinion, it would be a waste of God's gift if she didn't take it down while it was in front of her.

Do you want to hear what nonsense you are talking about?

Shi Jiaojiao was speechless.

Life in the last days is even more miserable than Wang Baochuan digging wild vegetables. How can one have the mood to fall in love?

When Shi Jiaojiao opened the car door and was about to get in, the long-haired beauty suddenly grabbed her.

The two added each other as friends. She stood outside the car window and thanked him solemnly again, "My name is Wang Jia. Thank you so much today. You don't know how important the things in your bag are to my family. If you need any help in the future, please contact me."

"It's okay, girls helping girls~" Shi Jiaojiao waved her hand to indicate that she shouldn't take it to heart. But when she turned her head and looked at Mu Ci who was emitting cold air in the driver's seat, she felt guilty again.

Until they entered the house, Mu Ci didn't ask a single question and even cooked a bowl of tomato and egg noodles for her.

She slurped the noodles anxiously. Could this be the legendary beheading meal?

That night, Shi Jiaojiao suffered from insomnia, which was rare for her. Just as she was tossing and turning, a new prompt appeared in the system.

[Hidden function has been activated, gratitude value +3]

Gratitude value?

What the hell is this?

Was it because she was thanked for helping Wang Jia?

But why were three points added?

While she was busy researching new features and couldn't sleep, Mu Ci also couldn't sleep all night.

He knew best what Shi Jiaojiao was like in the past. What had happened to her that caused her to change so much?

The little girl who used to be afraid of killing chickens now dared to fight a robber alone and seriously injured him.

He had seen the bald man's injuries, which were very serious. And when Shi Jiaojiao told him that day that she had a dream about the end of the world, she felt very strange.

Why did that dream only last four years?

Is it really just a dream?

————

The next day, when the two of them were having breakfast together, Shi Jiaojiao would occasionally steal glances at Mu Ci out of the corner of her eye.

Mu Ci pushed her favorite soup dumplings in front of her and said, "Eat quickly, what are you looking at?"

"Brother, do you think I was too harsh?" Shi Jiaojiao asked casually while stirring the porridge with a spoon.

She didn't think she was wrong. In the end times, soft-hearted people would never live long. But she was afraid that Mu Ci would think she was cruel and ruthless, and she was also afraid that Mu Ci would not be able to be cruel enough, so this question was also meant to test his attitude.

Mu Ci didn't think much about it and replied seriously, "No, you were right yesterday. Life will become more and more difficult in the future. When order gradually collapses, there will be more and more evil people in order to survive. If you don't hit hard enough, you will be the one who gets hurt."

Shi Jiaojiao felt relieved after hearing Mu Ci say this, but she didn't expect that he could change his mindset so quickly.

In the end times, what makes people most devastated is not only the hopeless future, but also the complexity of human nature.

After dinner, Mu Ci went to watch the warehouse.

Shi Jiaojiao was stocking up on delicious food on her social media feed while also checking in based on recommendations from many netizens.

Unfortunately, she had bad luck today and failed after trying three restaurants. Just as she opened the navigation for the next restaurant, a call from Wang Jia popped up on her phone.

"Jiaojiao, come to my house for lunch at noon. My parents were terrified when they found out about it yesterday. They also want to meet you."

Wang Jia grew up in a good family environment and was loved by his parents. He had a smooth life and joined his family's company right after graduating from university. He has never been hit by the harshness of society.

Although she looks like a queen on the outside, she is actually a bit naive on the inside. If she thinks someone is good, she will open her heart to them, not to mention that Shi Jiaojiao helped her a lot yesterday.

But Shi Jiaojiao is now obsessed with completing the task. The progress of clocking in has been slow in the past few days. She is so anxious that two big bubbles have grown in her mouth. If Mu Ci hadn't stopped her, she would have wanted to go out to complete the task overnight. How could she have the time to visit other people's homes now?

But after hearing what Wang Jia said, she finally understood how the 3 points came from yesterday. Her father and mother each contributed 1 point. It seems that not only those who are helped can contribute gratitude points.

Shi Jiaojiao refused mercilessly, "Those are just small matters, don't take them to heart, I won't go, I have other things to do today."

"What's the matter? Can I help you?" Wang Jia asked anxiously. Fearing being rejected, she quickly added, "Don't be polite to me, or you won't consider me a friend."

Shi Jiaojiao thought for a moment and thought that Wang Jia's family was well-off, so maybe she knew some restaurants with good reputations. So, she asked her if she knew some signature and delicious foods on the pretext of a task assigned by a university club.

As a result, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Wang Jia introduced that her chefs are all specially hired, and each of them has several specialties. If you want to find delicious food, just go to her house, which is convenient and saves trouble.

Shi Jiaojiao was a little moved, but she didn't want to get close to anyone for the time being, let alone make friends. The human heart is unpredictable. After the end of the world, how many people were stabbed in the back by their best friends or even relatives.

However, after Wang Jia's various persuasions, she finally gave in. After all, as the chef in Wang Jia's family, her reputation sounded like she would have a higher chance of success.

The villa area where the Wang family lives is not far from the Tiantai community where she lives. This is a wealthy area, and you can't buy a house just by having money. When buying a house, the property management will measure the owner's various data. The people who live here are basically well-known figures in S City.

After Shi Jiaojiao was reborn, she also thought about coming here, but gave up after understanding the requirements here.

As soon as she entered the Wang family, Shi Jiaojiao was warmly received by Wang's father and mother. They also thanked her sincerely for her help yesterday, and it was obvious that they loved their daughter Wang Jia very much.

During the meal, perhaps Wang Jia had informed the chef in advance, the dishes served were varied but the portions were not large.

How inconsiderate!
