On the way back to the Jiang family villa, Jiang Xun opened up the mission panel.

[Mission completed. Rewards received: +3 years of life, +10 Merit Points]

Jiang Xun opened up the ability panel next. This time, there were new ability options available to her: Stamina, Strength, Speed, and Purification.

She tilted her head at the last option. “System, is this Purification ability the same Purification that I know of?”

The system answered, “If you choose Purification, you will gain the ability to wash away the impurities in your body. The more Merit Points you put in it, the more impurities will be washed away. When the ability has been maxed out, the Host’s body will be very healthy and pure.”

!!
Jiang Xun nodded, “So it’s the same kind of Purification I know about.”

Back in the post-apocalyptic world she’d come from, similar techniques had been employed.

The virus that had caused the zombie outbreak was rampant in her world. The team that was tasked with clearing the zombies would inevitably come into close contact with them, so whenever they killed a zombie, they would sometimes get sprayed with infectious fluids.

Even the air was more or less polluted by the zombie virus.

Therefore, the research team in the post-apocalyptic world had developed a technology that could regularly clean the toxins in the bodies of soldiers.

However, this technology was only applicable if one’s body only had a small number of viruses in it. If someone was bitten by a zombie, the virus would fully take over the victim’s body within seconds. No technology existed that could cure such a state at that point.

Their technology had also been called Purification.

That was because while removing a small amount of zombie virus in the body, it also had the side effect of clearing away some of the other toxins and impurities in the body.

Jiang Xun considered her options carefully. “My physical strength is pretty good now, and I can improve it through training. I’ll leave aside Speed and Purification for now.”

No matter how weak her body was, it was still definitely better than her body during the post-apocalypse.

“I’ll enhance the Purification ability next time. This time, I’ll add Strength to the interface,” Jiang Xun said as she chose the strength option.

In the process of fighting criminals, Jiang Xun had found that she was clearly lacking in strength.

This was not something that could be made up for in the short term. , so the only thing she could do was take shortcuts via the system.

Adding in the 10 Merit Points from the quest reward, Jiang Xun still had 37 Merit Points left.

After adding Strength to her ability panel, she still had 27 Merit Points left, so she converted 20 points into attribute points and used them to enhance her Strength.

The moment she added the points, Jiang Xun could clearly feel a difference in her body. It was not very obvious or anything, but it was much better than before.

Jiang Xun ran back to the Jiang family villa.

By the time she returned, the rest of the family members were already home. When Jiang Xun entered the door, she found that they’d already changed into their house clothes.

Nianzhen and Yuexi had even removed their makeup. They’d clearly been back for a while already.

When Chengye saw Jiang Xun enter the door, he saw that her face was still flushed.

He couldn’t help but recall that Jiang Xun had left earlier than them, and she had left with Qin Mufeng, yet she had returned so much later than them.

Where had she gone?

She must have been with Qin Mufeng!

“You know Qin Mufeng and are close to him. Why didn’t you tell us?” Chengye asked as soon as she entered the room.

Jiang Xun’s expression turned cold. “I’m not ‘close to him’.”

“You were hugging each other even though you’re not familiar with him?” Chengye suddenly raised his voice. “I saw it with my own eyes! You guys were hugging each other so tightly!”

Nianzhen and Yuexi were shocked at his words.

They had asked Chengye about what had happened on the way back home, but he’d said that he would talk about it when Jiang Xun returned.

However, the two of them had felt that this was definitely a misunderstanding.

How would Jiang Xun have the chance to get to know Qin Mufeng? Even talking to him was a difficult task, so how could she possibly have such a close relationship with him?

It must be a rumor.
