Jiang Ning had no idea what everyone was thinking.
After handing over the criminals to the police, the system in Jiang Ning’s mind nearly went mad with joy.
A barrage of task completion prompts bombarded Jiang Ning.
[Congratulations to the Host for completing the task! Capturing the criminal Sun Hu, reward of 10 days of life value, 50 Merit Points]
[Reward 5 Merit Points to the task partner]
[Congratulations to the Host for completing the task! Capturing the criminal Niu Yuansheng, reward of 10 days of life value, 50 Merit Points]
[Reward 5 Merit Points to the task partner]
[Congratulations to the Host for completing the task! Capturing the criminal Shen Aizhi, reward of 10 days of life value, 50 Merit Points]
[Reward 5 Merit Points to the task partner]
As multiple task completion prompts appeared, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but speak up, "Silence, turn off voice notifications."
[Host, you’ve made a killing this time!]
In her mind, the system’s voice remained jubilant.
As Jiang Ning’s system, it too would receive bonus points as a reward whenever Jiang Ning completed a task.
The system, clutching its suddenly bulging little purse, couldn’t stop snickering internally.
Of course, the system didn’t forget about Qi Xingzhou’s reward.
On the system screen only visible to Jiang Ning, little hedgehogs carrying Merit Apples started to fall.
They dropped out of the air one after another, then with their tiny legs, they trod on air towards Qi Xingzhou, eventually climbing onto his head before transforming into a beam of light and vanishing above him.
Qi Xingzhou was not much for words, largely indifferent to many things.
In fact, he had helped Jiang Ning catch so many bad guys by now, yet he still didn’t understand why he was catching these criminals.
As for what laws these people had broken or whose interests they had infringed upon, Qi Xingzhou neither knew nor cared.
All he knew was that these were the people Jiang Ning wanted to catch, so he helped catch them.
Towards the uniformed police officers, Qi Xingzhou took only a lazy glance when they appeared, then disinterestedly looked away.
His gaze always rested on Jiang Ning, his clear black eyes reflecting her figure.
It seemed like she was his entire world.
The only interesting existence for him.
However, as each Merit Apple disappeared above his head, the originally clear black hue of Qi Xingzhou’s eyes began to darken.
Those eyes, which seldom showed any other emotion, seemed to gradually be endowed with something else.
Many things that Qi Xingzhou had previously found uninteresting, or that didn’t even exist in his understanding of the world, naturally appeared in his field of knowledge.
It was like a fog being lifted to reveal the sun.
The thick fog that had been there before was gradually dispersing.
He frowned slightly, as if aware of the changes occurring in his mind.
An ordinarily intelligent person, he now found himself puzzled by some of the new understandings that had appeared in his mind.
He was acutely aware of the changes within himself, yet confused by the suddenness and source of these changes.
Qi Xingzhou’s handsome brows furrowed as if he was wrestling with himself.
Jiang Ning was the only one who could see the little hedgehogs and the Merit Apples, always keeping an eye on Qi Xingzhou’s movements.
Seeing Qi Xingzhou frown, Jiang Ning walked over to him.
"What’s wrong? Not feeling well?"
Qi Xingzhou didn’t feel anything when the Merit Apples landed on his head.
That wasn’t the reason for his frown.
Qi Xingzhou was just about to shake his head.
But, looking into the eyes of Jiang Ning, who was so close and whose eyes contained only him, his black eyes stirred, his body swayed, and he leaned lightly against Jiang Ning, feebly responding: "Mhm."
