He then raised his hand and asked, "What would you like to eat? I'll go buy it."

For a moment, everyone looked at Qiji, and no one spoke, waiting for him to speak first.

Seeing this, Qiji said, "Soy milk and fried dough sticks will do."

Setsuna was about to add to Qiji's list, the quick-tongued Huomu interrupted, "The soy milk has to be savory!"

Setsuna:"..."

"Okay, what about you guys?" Bai Lili looked at the other three.

Surprisingly, all three gave the same answer:

"Casual."

Liuli and Setsuna used the word "whatever" to describe their lack of mood and appetite.

As for Huomu, when he said "whatever," it was because he genuinely meant it.

"Okay, I'll be right back."

As Bai Lili left, Shana hesitated for Setsuna and gave Huomu a wink.

Unfortunately, Huomu didn't understand her meaning at all, so she could only step forward in annoyance and lightly kick Huomu twice, signaling the latter to come out with her.

I left the ward and closed the door.

Huomu asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? Is there something you can't say in the room?"

She rolled her eyes Setsuna, almost driven mad by Huomu's cluelessness and inability to read people's expressions!

"Let's give Liuli and Qiji some... space to be alone..."

Although doing so might seem like helping her "enemy," it was ultimately her own loose tongue that caused the trouble.

In an instant, only Qiji and Liuli remained in the ward.

Liuli finally no longer needed to hold back and spoke in a trembling voice:

"Why did you save me? You clearly..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qiji's finger was already touching her lips once again.

I don't want to hear those words again.

Liuli, do you know that I've always believed that words have power?

The more often you say the same thing, the more it becomes the truth.

So, if you, Liuli, still feel guilty no matter what—

Then live well.

And then one day, when I need you, please...

Appeared beside me.

The moment Qiji finished speaking, Liuli froze in shock.

So, what Qiji- kun means is...

Does he need me?

It really is...

There could be no gentler words.

Upon seeing this in the live chat, the fans rushed to the scene:

"Awsl! As expected, the Ji Li CP is the most exciting to ship!"

"Hey! Kill me to entertain them!"

"I can already picture it! When Lao Ji stands Prisoner Ji against the whole world, it is Liuli who stands Prisoner Ji by his side!"

"Can't you eat something decent?! How could we Hajiqi, possibly stand against the whole world?!"

"Despicable Liuli fans! To obtain the Prisoner Ji, they actually came up with such an outrageous plot!"

Despite being portrayed as a "bad woman," she is surprisingly sensitive and vulnerable inside.

After finally managing to coax Liuli into calming down, Qiji, under the guise of resting, eagerly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, then opened the system interface.

Of course, it's also because Qiji's home and the hospital are quite far apart, so it will take her sister a while to get there.

Qiji also wanted to take advantage of this time to first go to the Sea of Consciousness to buy some goods.

Log in! Let's play a round!

The fact that it was so difficult to defeat Kamishiro Chiho made Qiji's desire to become stronger even more urgent; he didn't want to waste a single second.

As a result, as soon as the system interface opened, a large number of tip notifications popped up.

Qiji glanced at the comments from those who had given him tips, and they were all expressing their sympathy for him.

"Oh, this..."

Although he never intended to gain popularity by "playing the victim," he unexpectedly ended up living the life of a "beautiful, strong, and tragic" character...

In short, thank you all for your generous donations!

And, I'm sorry, you misunderstood!

Also, please rest assured, I will not die!

I'm the kind of man who's going to live to the very end!

After silently apologizing to the audience, Qiji couldn't wait to jump to the [Sea of Consciousness] interface.

Really!

Because of the Infinite Weakening of the [Thousand Faces] card, the "Frequency Mark" left by the Sea of Consciousness on the [Thousand Faces] card also weakened!

At this moment, the login page for [Sea of Consciousness] lit up again.

This means that Qiji is welcome to come back and restock anytime!

What else is there to say?

Let's go!

His absolute limit!

His King's Lineage!

Brother's here!

However, when Qiji excitedly clicked to log in, his consciousness did not immediately "ascend."

What appeared before Qiji's eyes was instead a disappointing system notification:

[Bite!]

[The system detects that the host's body is in a weakened state; we suggest you get some rest.]

rest?

Rest my ass!

What are their motives in preventing him from becoming stronger?

Ignoring the warning, Qiji continued entering!

In an instant, a familiar feeling came over him, as if his soul had left his body, and Qiji's consciousness soared infinitely.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back on his beloved little boat.

Then, the system notification sounded again:

[Bite!]

[Upon detection that the host has ascended to the Sea of Consciousness, bearing multiple curses, the "Silver Wish" passively triggers!]

["Fortune and Misfortune Depend on Each Other": When in the Sea of Consciousness, for every curse the host possesses, one Blessing can be drawn!]

[Note: The same curse only triggers "Fortune's Dependence" upon first login (the draw qualification cannot be retained or continued)]

[Current number of curses: 3.]

[You can draw three Blessing!]

[Note: All Blessing drawn are only effective during this Sea of Consciousness login period and will be reset upon exiting.]

Holy crap, is this for real?

Qiji felt that the Sea of Consciousness was simply a blessed place for him!

Give him a surprise every time he logs in!

In short—

[Silver Wish] is awesome!

That million was totally worth it!

In order to understand the so-called "Blessing" effect, Qiji carefully studied the system's prompts.

After staring at it for a while, I finally deciphered the words between the lines; the entire line contained only two characters—

"It's open!"

After the Thousand Faces Card Infinite Weakening, Qiji had originally planned to "run away with his sword".

The strong have their arrogance, and the weak have their own ways of playing.

A true master is one who can adapt to different versions and adjust their strategies accordingly.

For Qiji, running away with his knife is clearly the optimal solution.

After all, his current "Thousand Faces" ability isn't quite there yet.

Its biggest advantage, ironically, is that "entering the map" costs nothing.

In other words, he could easily make a pure profit by simply taking some fragments with him.

Of course, all of this happened before Qiji triggered [Misfortune and Fortune Depend on Each Other].

Now that we can draw "Blessing," we have to go back to the point—

Three consecutive draws, let's go!

[Congratulations! You've drawn Speed Blessing (White)!]

[Congratulations! You've drawn Speed Blessing (White)!]

[Congratulations! You've drawn Speed Blessing (Gold)!]

When the first two identical messages popped up, Qiji's first reaction was that the system had frozen.

It wasn't until the third notification flashed with golden light that Qiji suddenly realized, wow, he'd been hit by three "speed buffs" in a row!

And incredibly, they were able to withdraw their winnings!

Sure enough, who said he was "not"?

Without that bastard Suyo, things have really gotten better for him!

I can get a gold item just by randomly drawing Blessing; I'll probably get even more when I open the treasure chest later!

However, the three Speed Blessing didn't provide any combat power whatsoever...

Even the heavens are determined to make him run for the knife...

Then let's run away!

Qiji glanced at the map, intending to check the location of nearby treasure chests.

However, the next second, he suddenly noticed something was wrong!

The "expulsion time" displayed next to his map had now become positive infinity!

Qiji's clever little brain clicked, and he immediately understood.
