Chapter 57 The Backlash
Bobo could sense that Layle was in a bad state, and was even afraid of losing this little companion. So, it accompanied Zhao Nan to take Layle to the veterinary department, while Jing Mo carried Xia Xin to the emergency room.
Seeing Xia Xin unconscious, the doctor assumed the situation was severe and temporarily abandoned other patients to attend to her.
After a thorough examination, the doctor hung a stethoscope around his neck, instructed a nurse to tend to Xia Xin's arm injury, and then prepared to leave.
Jing Mo stopped the doctor and asked, "Doctor, how is my friend? Why aren't you prescribing anything for her?"
The doctor replied impatiently, "Your friend is just tired and sleeping. If you really want to give her something, buy her a glucose drink."
Before leaving, the doctor added a complaint, "You seemed so anxious when you brought her here, I thought it was something serious. You're just wasting medical resources!"
Jing Mo apologized quickly, then looked at Xia Xin, who was sleeping soundly in the bed.
'This girl had a bold heart. She managed to fall asleep even in such a critical situation. Come to think of it, she had indeed experienced a lot today. Both her arms were injured, and she had been through a fight. It was normal for her to be asleep.' Jing Mo thought.
After covering Xia Xin with the blanket, Jing Mo stood in the hospital corridor and called Sun Hu, "Go to the police station now."
Sun Hu was in the middle of a game when he heard about the police station from Jing Mo and immediately became restless. He asked, "What happened? Did you hit and run? Did you hit someone? Bro, you're a celebrity! Your image is crucial! Don't pull a stunt like before..."
Sun Hu's words became more and more absurd. If he continued, Jing Mo might end up being labeled as a murderer.
Impatiently, Jing Mo interrupted Sun Hu. "There's nothing like that. There's a scumbag at the police station. Go take care of him. I don't want him to appear in Xia Xin's life again."
Sun Hu finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You should have said it wasn't about you. You scared me."
Jing Mo's lips curved into a mischievous smile. He casually added, "By the way, I might have run a few red lights just now."
"You!" Sun Hu was infuriated. He immediately put down his gaming device and left for work.
The next morning, Layle emerged from the operating room and was wheeled into the hospital room. Zhao Nan finally had the chance to take Bobo to see Xia Xin.
Bobo seemed quite sensible. It knew Xia Xin was ill, so it refrained from barking loudly.
With its two front paws on the edge of the bed, Bobo gazed pitifully at Xia Xin, its head resting on its paws. It made a soft whimpering sound like it was saying, "Xia Xin, please wake up. Layle needs you."
Xia Xin's fingers twitched slightly, but she still hadn't woken up.
energy consumption will decrease. The way to replenish energy is by sleeping.
Xia Xin was concerned. She had only used the Enchanted Puppet for about ten Jing Mo had work to attend to today. After entrusting Xia Xin to Zhao Nan, he took Bobo and headed home.
Xia Xin regained consciousness around five or six in the afternoon. Zhao Nan was called to the police station to give a statement, so there was no one with Xia Xin by her bedside.
Xia Xin first adjusted to her surroundings. Then, she tried to prop herself up using her elbows, but both her arms were injured, so she gave up on that idea and obediently lay back down.
To others, it seemed like Xia Xin had been asleep for a whole day and night, but only she knew her consciousness had been clear. She knew everything that had happened, and she had even heard what Bobo said to her. She just struggled to wake up.
Seizing the opportunity while she was alone, Xia Xin immediately questioned the system about what had happened.
<nulli>Master, using any item from the Shop consumes a significant amount of the user's energy. The amount of energy consumed depends on the user's stamina and the affinity needed to purchase the item.
Xia Xin understood. No wonder the system had told her that her body's basic attributes needed to increase if she wanted the Beast Language System to level up. It was related to these things.
Xia Xin asked again, "What exactly are the specifics of this connection?"
<nulli>Master, the higher the favorability required to purchase an item, the more energy it consumes. However, if the user's stamina points are higher, the relative energy consumption will decrease. The way to replenish energy is by sleeping.
Xia Xin was concerned. She had only used the Enchanted Puppet for about ten minutes and had ended up sleeping for nearly a whole day. She couldn't help but wonder, 'If I used more expensive items in the future, wouldn't I have to sleep even longer?'
