Ling Qingxue took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the lingering numbness in her body, and regained her usual cool demeanor, though her ears still seemed a little red.

She avoided Ye Meier's teasing and said to Zhang Shaozhong, "This thing... is indeed beyond our current control. Its nature is fierce and violent, far exceeding our expectations."

Zhang Shaozhong said irritably, "Now you know! This thing isn't spiritual energy, it doesn't work! Hurry up, go check the electrical box!"

The three of them went to the electrical box in the hallway, and sure enough, their circuit breaker had tripped.

Zhang Shao closed the switch, and the lights in the room came back on.

But he soon discovered that the socket in the study was out of power, probably because the wiring inside or the charger that Ling Qingxue had modified was burnt out.

"Well, I'll have to get an electrician to fix it again tomorrow." Zhang Shaozhong sighed, feeling a pang of pain in his wallet again.

What troubled him even more was that a few days later, he received a text message from the power company reminding him that their household electricity consumption had surged abnormally this month, far exceeding the average level, and reminding them to check for any electrical appliances leaking electricity or any abnormal electricity usage.

Zhang Shaozhong looked at the text message, feeling like crying but having no tears.

Without a doubt, it must have been caused by the fairy's various failed "electricity-inducing experiments"! Although those experiments failed to activate the array, short circuits and leakage probably occurred quite a few times, wasting a lot of electrical energy!

He showed the text message to Ling Qingxue and said earnestly, "Fairy, do you see? It's not only dangerous, but also expensive! We're in a tight financial situation right now, we can't afford to go through this!"

Ling Qingxue stared at the text message, remained silent for a moment, and finally fully realized the "seriousness" of the problem.

She nodded solemnly: "I understand. This path... is not viable for now. We need to find another way."

This "electrocution nightmare" coupled with the "electricity bill bombardment" finally made Ling Qingxue temporarily abandon her persistent research on "electrical energy array".

She then turned her gaze in another direction!

Zhang Shaozhong watched Ling Qingxue bury herself in studying "New Energy Applications" again, and only one thought came to his mind: When will this family ever give me a break?
