After Ye Yuan exchanged the two "Black Stones" for points, new functions appeared in the system.

In the space, he saw a projection resembling a lottery turntable appear in the center. Looking at the items above, they were dazzling and varied.

Space Jumper, Single-person Aircraft, Water Control Art, Spirit Opening Pill, Constitution Enhancement Pill, Feed Production Line, Brewing Technology...

Seeing these, Ye Yuan was a bit confused. Wasn't it supposed to be a technology planet? What were these pills and cultivation techniques?

Of course, there was no one to answer his questions.

Above the turntable, there was an "Activate" button.

Ye Yuan activated the Lucky Turntable without hesitation. What he really wanted to draw was the Space Jumper. Just by the name, he knew it was something very advanced.

The pointer spun rapidly, slowly approaching the Space Jumper.

"Jumper, Jumper."

Ye Yuan muttered softly.

Slowly, the pointer passed the Space Jumper and stopped at the Spirit Opening Pill.

"Continue?"

"Spinning the turntable again will deduct 10,000 points from the host."

"Yes"

Ye Yuan looked at his 78,000 points and continued.

The pointer spun again, and finally, he obtained a Constitution Enhancement Pill.

"Continue?"

"Spinning again will deduct 10,000 points from the host."

"No"

Ye Yuan decisively stopped the lottery. It seemed he wasn't that lucky. Points still had many uses and couldn't be wasted here.

After obtaining the Constitution Enhancement Pill, he took it directly.

He felt his strength increase slightly as the pill went down his throat. He checked his status.

Points Mall (Intermediate): Can use points to exchange for items in the mall. Currently available items are as follows...

Lucky Turntable: Draw count, can be exchanged with points.

Strength increased by 3, speed and stamina each increased by 1.

Ye Yuan did not continue to exchange stones for points because he had already figured out the true use of these stones.

Just last night, he discovered that when cultivating the "Water Control Art," holding these stones in his hand greatly increased his cultivation speed.

Now that he knew how to use them, he couldn't exchange them all for points.

Su Mei's days had finally gotten a little better. Although Zhang Gui still hadn't supplied any seafood.

The day after Ye Yuan returned, the purchasing department had brought back a cartload of fish from Ye Yuan, temporarily solving the hotel's dilemma of having no seafood to sell.

Today, she planned to get off work early to go home and spend time with her precious daughter.

Many people at the hotel didn't know that their General Manager Su already had a four-year-old daughter.

Su Mei started dating a senior from her university when she was in her sophomore year.

At the time, the two were known as the school's golden couple.

After graduation, the senior chose to study abroad, and everyone thought the couple would break up.

However, Su Mei, disregarding her family's objections, chose to follow the senior abroad to study.

They studied and worked abroad, spending three wonderful years together, and they also moved in together.

Just as they were returning to China to prepare for their wedding, the senior died in a car accident. This was a huge blow to Su Mei at the time; as the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly.

Before Su Mei could recover from the grief of losing her lover, she discovered she was pregnant.

Many friends advised her to terminate the pregnancy.

But Su Mei was determined to have the child, and despite the disapproval of many relatives and friends, her mother stepped forward to support her.

After Su Mei gave birth, she stayed by her daughter's side because the child was still young.

However, when her daughter turned four, her mother's health began to decline, making it impossible for her to manage the hotel anymore, so Su Mei had to take over.

Lately, Su Mei had been too busy and felt she was neglecting her daughter.

Today, she could go home early and spend some time with her.

As Su Mei was tidying up documents and preparing to go home, her phone suddenly rang. A panicked cry came from the other end:

"Miss Su, something terrible has happened. Nian Xin has been kidnapped."

Hearing this, Su Mei's mind went blank.

She managed to stay on her feet, preventing herself from falling, and hurriedly asked:

"What happened? Tell me exactly what happened?"

At this point, she still held onto a sliver of hope that there might be some misunderstanding.

"Just now, I went to pick up Nian Xin, and I had already picked her up, but a van stopped beside us. Three people got out, pushed me down, and snatched Nian Xin. I'm on the ambulance now, and the kindergarten has already called the police."

As she spoke, the call was taken over by someone else.

"Hello, are you this lady's family? We are from XX Hospital. Please come to the hospital as soon as possible to handle the procedures. Her external injuries are very serious, with multiple fractures."

After saying this, the call was directly hung up.

Hearing this, Su Mei's legs could no longer support her body. With a "thump," she collapsed onto the floor.

Her eyes stared blankly at the sky outside the window, and tears streamed down her face.

Her secretary, hearing the commotion from inside, immediately pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing Su Mei sitting on the floor, crying silently, she was also startled.

She quickly ran over and helped Su Mei sit on the sofa. Seeing her secretary, Su Mei remembered the doctor's words and immediately instructed her secretary to go to the hospital to handle the matter with the nanny.

After the secretary left, Su Mei forced herself to calm down.

She took out her phone and dialed a number she hadn't contacted in a long time.

The person on the other end answered slowly, and after connecting:

"Hello~ What is it? I'm very busy here."

Hearing the tone of the other person, Su Mei shouted in a near-hysterical voice:

"You're always busy, you don't care when Mom is sick, you didn't care when my husband died, and now Nian Xin has been kidnapped, and you still don't plan to do anything?"

After speaking, she threw the phone down and curled up on the sofa, burying her head in her knees and crying.

The person Su Mei called was her father, Su Weiguo, who taught marine biology.

Her father had dedicated his life to research and rarely concerned himself with family matters.

Even when Su Mei went through such a major event, he only came home to visit for less than a day before returning to his laboratory.

Now that her mother was in poor health, Su Mei didn't dare to tell her about this.

But when a weak woman like herself encountered such a situation, she needed someone to confide in, right? So she called her father.

Unexpectedly, the tone in which he answered the phone pushed the already on-the-verge-of-collapse Su Mei completely over the edge.
