Ling Xue was filled with confusion as she inquired about the specifics of her daily task releases from the system. The system responded, "The host can seek out tasks independently. The so-called energy value is actually a measure of longing. The more someone misses you, the higher the energy value you will gain, and the system's upgrades will accelerate accordingly."
Ling Xue fell into deep thought, and after a moment, she grasped the system's explanation. Suddenly inspired, she activated her skill, Thousand Faced Illusion, instantly transforming into Ling Yu's appearance. This way, she could utilize her skills without being in direct contact with her female form, feeling as though she had entered a new system.
Ling Xue realized that it had been a long time since she last attended school. Previously, she had asked Liu Jiedong to help her take a leave of absence, but she couldn't avoid going forever. Thus, she decided to bid farewell to Ling Na and Liu Yichen. Although she was their mother, ever since her rejuvenation skill awakened, she felt her connection with her children had grown shallower.
A complex emotion surged within Ling Xue; she felt excited about discovering new ways to utilize her skills but also worried about the changing dynamics with her children. She understood that while it was essential to continuously explore and enhance her abilities, she must not neglect the emotional ties with her family.
Knowing that she would soon return to school as Ling Yu, Ling Xue decided to say a proper goodbye to Ling Na. When she stood before Ling Na, her eyes were filled with reluctance and affection. "Ling Na, I'm going back to school now. During this time, I owe so much to you for being by my side," Ling Xue said softly, her voice tinged with emotion.
Ling Na looked at Ling Xue tenderly, her eyes reflecting similar feelings of reluctance. "You must take care of yourself. Whether you are Ling Xue or Ling Yu, I will always be here waiting for your return."
Ling Xue embraced Ling Na tightly, feeling the warmth and reassurance in that moment. "I will, and you take care too. When I come back, we will face future challenges together."
After holding each other for a moment, Ling Xue slowly released Ling Na, her eyes shining with determination. She knew she had to bravely take this step for herself and for those who cared about her.
With thoughts of Ling Na in her heart and anticipation for the future ahead, Ling Xue turned and left, ready to embark on a new journey as Ling Yu.
As the new semester began, Ling Yu excelled academically and achieved remarkable results. At this point, Ling Xue decided to invest all her Skill Points into enhancing her intelligence. Now, every point of intelligence required a certain amount of energy points to increase. Once intelligence reached a certain level, each further enhancement would demand even more energy points.
Ling Xue felt that the consumption was quite high and decided only to raise her intelligence to a specific level. At this time, she still had some Skill Points remaining and then allocated points to strength and agility as well; thus leaving only a few points left. Since money was not an issue at present, Ling Xue chose not to exchange any further.
After enhancing her abilities, Ling Xue felt that continuing school seemed rather childish; the content taught by teachers was exceedingly simple for her now. She checked the system interface and found that she already had items decorating her head, body, and arms while there were still empty slots for her feet and legs.
Therefore, she asked the system what special items were still needed—such as earrings, necklaces, shoes, socks—and the system replied that this collection process could be turned into a task so that she could receive certain hints. Without much thought, Ling Xue instructed the system to release the task. After the collection task was issued by the system, a list appeared before her eyes detailing the special items required.
A prompt box popped up: "Special Item Collection Task Activated. Hint One: Pay attention to special individuals around you; they may provide clues about special items. Hint Two: Mysterious corners in high school campuses may yield unexpected rewards."
