The bad value system is measuring values.

Chapter 99 Snow White Prince (End)

Sperz was afraid she might suddenly change her mind, so he patiently confirmed with her again and again.

After receiving a positive reply, he dared not delay for a moment and rushed to his palace to retrieve the blood vial.

At this moment, Qiao Xiao was casually fiddling with the poison given to her by the witch Anna, her eyes as cold as frost, and she murmured softly, "Don't blame me..."

It was as if these words were a judgment from another world.

Not long after, Shi Bozi hurriedly returned to the original spot, while Qiao Xiao quietly waited under the bright moonlight.

Upon seeing Spartz return, she simply said nonchalantly, "Give it to me." Her voice was so calm that it was impossible to discern her true thoughts.

Panting and sweating profusely, Shi Bozi handed the bottle containing the blood to Qiao Xiao without hesitation.

Qiao Xiao gently took the bottle, then quickly switched the two bottles, tilted her head back, and drank the poison given to her by the witch Anna in one gulp.

In an instant, a strange power began to surge within her body, and her appearance underwent an astonishing change.

Her snow-white hair turned jet black and glossy in the blink of an eye; her skin, which was originally covered in wrinkles, was now as delicate and smooth as a newborn baby's; and her previously dull and cloudy eyes became bright.

Qiao Xiao asked, as if she were directing her own drama, "What am I doing...?"

Before she could finish speaking, Shi Bozi, unable to contain his joy, rushed forward excitedly, hugged Qiao Xiao tightly, and shouted, "It really works! My blood actually works!"

He was incoherent, with only endless tears streaming down his face.

He felt as if all his strength had been drained away, and he lay limply on Qiao Xiao, as if only in this way could he truly feel the miraculous scene before him.

The melodious and resonant sound of the bell suddenly rang out, as if it had traveled through time and space, each strike striking people's hearts like a heavy hammer.

The bell tolled continuously, striking twenty times in a row, seemingly foreshadowing some important event that was about to occur.

Qiao Xiao: "I think I can finally stand openly by your side now."

Spartz replied with trembling lips, "You've always been by my side, my Fali!"

Faced with Shi Bozi's ardent love, Qiao Xiao simply smiled.

Her heart was as firm as a rock, and no matter how hard Spartz tried, she would not be moved.

Qiao Xiao gently patted Shi Bozi on the shoulder and said tenderly, "Let's go back to the banquet. I haven't had a chance to fully enjoy your coming-of-age ceremony yet."

After speaking, she turned and walked towards the banquet hall with light and elegant steps, with Shi Bozi silently following Qiao Xiao.

When the two walked hand in hand into the banquet hall, the entire scene instantly fell silent.

All eyes were on the perfect couple—the man was handsome and dashing, and the woman was beautiful and graceful.

They were not only a perfect match in appearance, but also exuded a noble and elegant temperament that made people fall in love with them.

At this moment, Qiao Xiao and Shi Bozi became the focus of everyone's attention.

Schertz's face seemed to be enveloped in a bright light, and every subtle expression revealed endless joy and pleasure.

His eyes, which had been slightly weary, now shone brightly, and his eyebrows were slightly raised, as if expressing an overwhelming joy.

At the same time, Qiao Xiao, standing beside him, regained her former radiant beauty, like a blooming flower, delicate and beautiful beyond compare.

"Oh my god! Could that be the legendary Queen? She's breathtakingly beautiful!" A gasp of amazement rippled through the crowd.

Daisy followed closely behind the two, her eyes always following their receding figures, her heart overflowing with joy and excitement.

She secretly rejoiced, "That's wonderful! Our beloved Queen has finally recovered!"

At this moment, everyone present was deeply immersed in this sudden atmosphere of happiness, unable to extricate themselves.

However, in this sea of ​​joy, only the witch Anna seemed out of place.

She was draped in a black cloak, hiding like a ghost in a dark corner, her face filled with sorrow and grief, looking extremely haggard and sad.

Qiao Xiao smiled and responded to the people who bowed to her, saying, "It's so wonderful to have such a grand coming-of-age ceremony."

She thought to herself: Coming-of-age ceremony? Having stayed here for too long, many of her memories have become blurred, and even the clearest memories have begun to fragment.

She suddenly realized something was wrong: some memories are incomplete. It hurts so much, I really can't remember.

Spoelstra sighed regretfully and said slowly, "My dear Fali, you deserved your own magnificent coming-of-age ceremony; it's something I owe you."

In response to Shi Bozi's suggestion, Qiao Xiao simply smiled faintly and said, "Let's not consider this issue for now and talk about it later."

She knew all too well that they had no future together.

Accompanied by the beautiful and melodious music, Shi Bozi and Qiao Xiao danced gracefully in the center of the stage, their movements fluid and graceful.

Their dance moves were perfectly coordinated, as if they were born to be dancers, and every movement was so perfectly in sync.

Time passed quietly, and the bells in the kingdom rang out one after another, incessantly, until finally, the clock hands pointed to midnight.

She held Qiao Xiao's soft, delicate hands tightly and whispered, "My Queen, let's go watch the fireworks together."

Qiao Xiao nodded in agreement: "Okay."

Now, thanks to the poison, her strength has been restored, she has become energetic, and her steps have gradually become more agile.

She couldn't help but exclaim, "A young and healthy body is the best!" As she spoke, a satisfied smile spread across her face.

Then, the two of them walked together up to the highest tower of the palace.

When they reached the top of the tower, Qiao Xiao looked up at the sky, which was completely obscured by thick dark clouds, and felt a little disappointed.

Qiao Xiao: "These thick clouds really came at the worst possible time; it's already dark."

Standing beside her, Spitz gazed tenderly at her slightly dejected face and gently waved his arm.

In an instant, something miraculous happened—the dark clouds within a ten-mile radius dissipated rapidly like smoke, and the sky, which had been looming over the city, instantly returned to a night sky filled with stars.

Spoelstra: "Then let these dark clouds disappear for a while."

Just then, a glimmer of light flashed across the dark night sky.

Fireworks, like fleeting lights, illuminated the sky with their scattered sparks as the fuse was lit, blooming into countless golden and silvery flowers.

They resembled a dreamlike meteor shower, drawing beautiful and spectacular arcs in the darkness.

This breathtaking beauty is destined to come at a crueler price, as an irresistible force of death truly arrives.

Qiao Xiao, the one given the name of death, quietly accepted her fate.

Schertz immediately noticed her abnormality and helped her up, his eyes wide with astonishment.

His magical perception clearly detected the passing of her life; each wisp of breath vanished felt like a heavy hammer pounding into his internal organs.

"What happened?! How did it suddenly turn out like this?!" Spoelstra roared.

Qiao Xiao could no longer support her heavy body. She leaned on Shi Bozi and collapsed into his arms.

Bright red blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. In just an instant, her face became haggard, as if she had aged several years, as if time had weighed her down heavily.

Qiao Xiao said painfully, "I...I'm leaving, Shi...Boz..."

It felt as if a thousand sharp blades were piercing through his heart at the same time, causing him unbearable pain.

He held Qiao Xiao tightly in his arms, tears welling up in his eyes, and cried out in a trembling voice, "Don't go! Don't go! I beg you! This can't be! There must be another way to save her!"

His eyes, filled with despair and sorrow, were fixed on Qiao Xiao, who was gradually losing her life. His heart was filled with helplessness and fear.

Qiao Xiao's body was enveloped in dazzling light, and her body became more and more transparent, gradually turning into nothingness.

Schertz was extremely anxious and continuously channeled his magic into Qiao Xiao's body, trying to save her life, which was hanging by a thread.

However, no matter how hard he tried, it was all in vain.

Just then, a burst of intense light suddenly appeared, so bright that it was almost impossible for people to open their eyes.

When the light faded and Qiao Xiao disappeared completely, only Shi Bozi remained kneeling alone on the ground, roaring to the sky in utter grief: "Fali!"

The desperate cries echoed in the air, lingering for a long time. His soul seemed to have been ripped away, and he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Central command post…

The system's cold, mechanical voice announced: "The Snow White Prince's storyline has been successfully completed. Congratulations, host, on achieving a stage victory. The system upgrade is now complete, and the system level has been raised to Level 2."

"The host has successfully collected all the fragments and has now completed the task of unlocking the character 'Gu Jinghe'."

The commander stared silently at the final scene of the story world, only to see that Spartz had completely broken down, unable to bear the enormous blow.

Without hesitation, he stretched out his hands and ripped open the wound in his heart, enduring the excruciating pain and letting the blood flow continuously until his life was over.

At the same time, the entire world of Snow White collapsed and fell into ruin.

However, faced with such a scene, the commander did not feel the slightest bit of jealousy towards his rival in love, Spoelstra.

He clenched his fists tightly, trying to calm the turbulent emotions in his heart, and slowly said in his clear and cold voice, "See? Until the very last moment, she still didn't fall in love with you."

As soon as he said it, he felt a jolt in his heart, as if he had suddenly realized something.

Such negative and resentful words didn't seem to come from him at all.

He pondered to himself, "Could it be that I've experienced too many ups and downs, causing me to truly change?" As he thought this, the commander's eyes grew even more profound.

However, his gaze was drawn to a scene in the time tunnel.

One of the shattered fragments of the world was being gradually reforged and repaired in an incredible way.

"I never expected... that the Three Realms are recovering."

He noticed that Spoelstra's soul, like a lost boat, was drifting aimlessly in the air.

Suddenly, as if finding a target, the wisp of soul went straight to Gu Jinghe's body and merged into his body without any hindrance.

The system's cold, mechanical voice rang out: "The Three Realms have begun to recover. Do you wish to gather your scattered remnants of soul?"

The commander sat there quietly, as if he were completely absorbed in endless thoughts.

He sighed softly, a sigh like the last leaf falling in late autumn, carrying a faint sadness and helplessness.

His eyes, which should have been sharp as a hawk's, now seemed somewhat lost. His slender fingers unconsciously rubbed his forehead, as if trying to soothe the turmoil surging deep within his heart.

After a long while, the commander slowly spoke, "If we really go to collect those remnant souls, then Qiao Xiao will have to continue to conquer them... but I am unwilling."

His voice was low and hoarse, seemingly containing unspeakable pain and struggle.

That fragment of soul carried too much of a heavy past, some painful memories of the metaverse.

He learned that the reason for extracting that wisp of soul was to permanently seal away Qiao Xiao's past memories.

Although a part of his soul had been forcibly removed, he knew perfectly well in his heart that he deeply loved Qiao Xiao.

This love was etched into his very bones like a brand, and could never be erased.

The system's cold, emotionless voice rang out: "Commander, Lord Tianquan has made his decision. The Evil Value System is restarting..."

The commander frowned, his face full of reluctance, watching helplessly as everything unfolded before him.

Each additional target means an increase in worry and anxiety.

His sorrowful eyes gazed intently at Qiao Xiao, who lay quietly inside the cabin.

Commander: I want to kiss you so much, my love. When you wake up, I must ask you for a kiss.

The thought kept swirling in my mind, and as I pondered it, I gave a bitter laugh.

Just then, Gu Jinghe took off the virtual game headgear he was wearing, looked solemnly at Qiao Xiao beside him, and said in a weak voice, "This game is just too realistic, Qiao."

Qiao Xiao slowly opened her eyes, and her consciousness gradually returned.

She looked around blankly, her eyes filled with confusion, and muttered to herself, "Is the Snow White story over? Where am I now?"

System: "Host, the Malice System has been successfully activated."

As these words were spoken, Qiao Xiao's past memories of Gu Jinghe were all awakened.

She frowned and demanded, "What exactly happened?"

Memories come out of nowhere, and I feel like a bunch of data.

System: "Host, after a comprehensive scan and analysis, we have discovered important remnants of souls hidden within the worlds you are conquering. Only when you successfully conquer the target in a world will you be able to collect these remnants completely."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiao frowned and asked, "A remnant soul? Whose remnant soul? Is it worth it for me to expend so much effort to collect it?"

System: "Please rest assured, host. The remnant soul of this world is of great significance to you. If you can successfully complete it, you will gain unexpected rewards. I can assure you that you will absolutely not regret it."

After a moment of silence, Qiao Xiao nodded slightly and said softly, "Okay, I believe you..."
