Jenny floated openly in the hall, waiting for her.
Red Frost is dead, and Ferro has taken over her authority, having already withdrawn the arrest warrant for Jenny.
So now Jenny can walk around outside freely.
And you don't have to worry about being arrested at any time.
"Let's go home."
Xin Sui emerged from the cubicle refreshed, took Jenny's outstretched hand, and happily led her home.
With nothing to worry about, it's time to relax a bit.
By the way, what benefits should she extort from the system?
Of course, she didn't really want to leave. She had already completed half of the mission, so wouldn't it be a huge loss to leave now?
But who told the system to make such a boast beforehand?
If she didn't take the opportunity to swindle him, how could it be justified?
Unfortunately, as soon as Xin Sui got home, before she could even tell the system what she wanted, she heard a series of announcements from the system:
[Major villain's corruption value +1]
[Major villain's corruption value +2]
[Major villain's corruption value +3]
...
"System, this is so unethical of you! You're falsifying data just to keep me from leaving?"
"You're destroying the foundation of trust between us, and you know you'll lose me, don't you?"
[Host, I regret to inform you that this is the real-time blackening value of the main villain.]
[I would like to exaggerate the data, but I'd love for the villain's corruption level to be reduced to zero as soon as possible, so why would I deliberately report it as high?]
Xin Sui: "Why is Xuan Tu's corruption value suddenly increasing?"
[Perhaps it's because he killed too many people that his negative emotions were triggered?]
[Whatever the reason, host, you need to think of a solution quickly.]
If this continues, all our previous efforts will be wasted.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Xin Sui's expression was off, Jenny asked.
Xin Sui patted her head. "Your sister has run into some trouble and needs to deal with it immediately. You should go back to your room first."
"Okay, if there's anything I can do to help, please let me know, sister."
Her words reminded Xin Sui, "There really is."
Xin Sui brought the leopard out of the tortoise pearl space and kissed its nose.
"Shall we dance? Jenny, you'll accompany us on the music."
Hopefully, Jenny's healing voice will be of some help to Xuantu.
Jenny: "Okay, okay."
Leopard: "Meow meow~"

Cloud mushroom forest.
During the rainy season, this area produces a type of mushroom that resembles a cloud – the cloud mushroom.
Cloud mushrooms have extremely high medicinal value and are used in many medicines.
For example, healing potions, starlight potions, etc.
It can sell for a high price of 20 crystal coins per kilogram.
Over time, a settlement formed near the cloud mushroom forest, mostly inhabited by herb gatherers who made a living by collecting medicinal herbs.
Right now, there are quite a few people picking cloud mushrooms in the cloud mushroom forest.
However, if you look closely, you'll find that the people responsible for picking the fruit are all children.
The adults, on the other hand, did not take action; they simply followed behind their children, holding umbrellas and providing protection.
There is a reason for this, of course.
Cloud mushrooms have a peculiar characteristic: they can only be touched by children—more precisely, children under 7 years old.
If an older child or adult touches it, the cloud mushroom will immediately rot on the spot.
Cloud mushrooms seem to be made specifically for children.
Therefore, only children can pick them.
Children in the post-apocalyptic world understand the importance of survival and are not averse to picking cloud mushrooms; in fact, they are quite enthusiastic about it.
Because a pound of cloud mushrooms can sell for 20 crystal coins.
This is enough nutritional paste for the whole family for three months.
The children eagerly rummaged through the decaying leaves and branches in the woods, searching for the small, white cloud mushroom.
They were overjoyed every time they found a flower, and quickly picked it and put it into the bamboo basket at the adult's waist.
Among these children who were accompanied by adults, there was a four- or five-year-old girl who was all alone.
She was carrying a basket on her back that was taller than herself.
He was wearing a hat woven from leaves on his head.
Walking barefoot through the woods, I bent down and quickly searched.
Gradually, she distanced herself from the others.
Peeling back the decaying leaves, a small clump of cloud mushrooms was revealed underneath.
After being soaked by the raindrops dripping from the tree, these cloud mushrooms appeared even more white and jade-like, delicate and lovely.
The little girl's eyes lit up with surprise, and she quickly reached out to pick it.
"Bang!"
A man suddenly fell from the sky, landing heavily with his feet sinking into the soft mud.
The little girl was startled, slipped, and fell to the ground.
The cloud mushrooms in the basket all rolled out.
The little girl quickly went to pick it up.
However, the last cloud mushroom rolled to the man's feet.
As the little girl hesitated, the man turned around, revealing a strange face.
Its eyes were dark, without pupils, and its nose was very long, extending all the way down to its mouth.
The little girl's eyes widened in fright, and she turned and ran away, clutching her basket.
As agile as a deer.
However, she hadn't run far when a vine caught up from behind, wrapped around her ankle, and dragged her backward.
The other end of the vine was held firmly in the hand of the long-nosed man.
"ah!"
A childish scream came from deep within the forest.
Upon hearing this, the group of adults and children all stopped what they were doing, their faces filled with fear.
"Dad, has something happened to Xiaoyun?"
A child leaned uneasily against his father's lap and looked up to ask.
His father scooped him up and ran outside.
Seeing this, the others realized what was happening and quickly grabbed their children and ran outside.
