Ficool

Chapter 99 - Shattered

Qin Yue didn't say much more, as they had already been fighting for a while, and the Conqueror had stacked up.

With Hextech technology in hand, she first used the hammer form to unleash a combo, then switched to the Mercurial Hammer, unleashing the essence of electric energy.

Flowing like clouds and water, emphasizing smoothness.

Of course, this wasn't just because of Qin Yue's skill; it was mainly due to the Hextech technology, with a manual right beside her, it was almost a one-button foolproof operation.

In short, a three-hit combo triggered Electrocute and Starfall, dealing a massive amount of damage in an instant. Bai Ningning didn't even grunt and went down directly.

However, Qin Yue wasn't happy.

Just like Teacher 00 said, the advantage of Hextech technology is its power, but the downside is that it is too powerful, making the user feel almost no sense of participation.

She should consider Jekyll in the future.

Putting the equipment back into the packaging box, Qin Yue found some tape for sealing and solemnly taped the box shut.

This was considered sealed.

Climbing back into bed, she turned off the light, closed her eyes, and went to sleep.

Zzzz

The morning sky was clear. The wind was blowing, the birds were singing, and the clouds were rolling.

Qin Yue rubbed her eyes and comfortably yawned.

Although she didn't feel a sense of participation in the battle yesterday, looking on the bright side, she also didn't expend any energy. Therefore, she got up around seven in the morning and felt very good, as if she had endless energy.

Looking back at the girl still sound asleep on the bed, gazing at her cute little... both small and big body, Qin Yue couldn't help but smile.

How about that, finally one morning she woke up first.

So, what was that saying again, thirty years in the east and thirty years in the west... wait a minute.

Qin Yue suddenly noticed that Bai Ningning's condition was off; although she was sound asleep, she didn't look peaceful at all. Her delicate brows were tightly furrowed, and there were traces of pain on her cute little face, making one feel heartbroken.

Oh no.

Qin Yue carefully lifted the blanket to check, and immediately felt regret.

Fortunately, the injuries weren't severe, just minor ones, but an injury is still an injury. Luckily, the seller had anticipated this, and along with the Hextech technology, they also sent a complimentary reusable healing spray.

Qin Yue rummaged through the package and had just grabbed the ointment when she heard a series of urgent knocks on the door.

Knock knock knock knock knock.

Qin Yue hurried to the door, fearing she would wake the sleeping Bai Ningning.

"Who is it?"

"It's me," came Mom Qin's voice from outside, "You need to come out quickly, I have something to tell you."

What could be so urgent this early in the morning? If it weren't for last night's work, you might not even see me this afternoon.

Complaining in her heart, Qin Yue still went out, following Mom Qin to the living room, where she found Dad Qin also there, looking serious.

"What happened?" Qin Yue asked curiously, "Did the company's stock price plummet?"

Dad Qin shook his head seriously.

"Did the company have a scandal?"

He continued to shake his head seriously.

"Did a previous project go wrong? Did we step on a red line? Is there a problem with the debt?" Qin Yue asked three questions in a row.

Dad Qin indeed shook his head three times, each time more serious than the last.

Mom Qin couldn't take it anymore: "Yueyue, it's about yesterday... or rather, the day before that..."

"They're moving too fast. You need to hurry up and get ready to go over there."

"What?"

Qin Dad and Qin Mom exchanged words, and Qin Yue finally understood.

It was still about arranging jobs for those girls. Although Qin Yue had replied with "We'll see," it was clear that no one was really prepared to take their time.

Uncle and Second Uncle acted decisively, directly going to the homes of three family friends. After a discussion among the elders, they quickly made a decision and even chose the candidates.

To achieve the goal of a lightning-fast operation and catch Qin Yue off guard, several adults directly stepped in and even organized a breakfast invitation for her.

"Why breakfast?" Qin Yue said, feeling quite speechless. "At least it should be lunch."

What's the point of inviting someone to breakfast? Just to eat in solitude?

"That's exactly why it's unexpected, completely unprepared," Qin Dad sighed. "A few old foxes, after all these years, still as sharp as ever."

Qin Yue twitched her lips: "No, I can't go. I have something I can't leave."

"You have to go, Yueyue. They sent the elders to represent them, which shows their goodwill," Qin Mom sighed. "This kind of face is easy to throw away now, but it will be hard to pick up later."

Qin Yue fell into a moment of hesitation.

Indeed, the other adults had personally come forward, and on the surface, it was just a meal invitation. If she didn't go, it would be too disrespectful, and it would create awkwardness when the two families met in the future.

But if she went, there was still an injured girl at home waiting for her to help heal.

"Can you give me some time?" Qin Yue said. "I need to do something."

"No time left, Yueyue," Qin Mom urged. "At most half an hour."

It would take at least ten minutes to get there, which means this half an hour would have to be cut in half.

Qin Yue shook her head: "No way, half an hour is too short."

Applying medicine has to follow the instructions, bit by bit, and she also needs to pay attention to the other person's reactions. All things considered, an hour would be more appropriate.

"Qin Yue, what's so urgent?" Qin Dad asked. "Can't it wait until you come back?"

Definitely not. On the surface, it was breakfast, but once they got there, the conversation would stretch into lunchtime. Once there, if others set the table, it would be impossible to just leave with a long face, so coming back in the afternoon would be considered early.

Qin Yue couldn't let Bai Ningning suffer for another half day.

But she didn't know how to explain, oh, because she couldn't beat them before, and in a fit of anger, she ended up hurting someone.

"How about this," Qin Mom suggested, "Let someone else help you?"

"No way," Qin Yue replied without hesitation. "Absolutely not."

At that moment, Qin Xin came out of her room. She had woken up too early and was a bit hypoglycemic, walking dizzily to the dining table and sitting down. When she picked up a piece of bread, she noticed that the people at the table were a bit too organized. Besides her senior sister Ningning, everyone else was there.

"Dad, Mom, Sister," she greeted, "You all are up so early?"

Qin Yue's eyes lit up when she saw her younger sister.

Her sister was straightforward and knew Bai Ningning, and they had a good relationship, even owing each other a favor.

"Qin Xin," she said, "Do you have some time this morning?"

Qin Xin was slightly taken aback: "No other business, what's up?"

Qin Yue pondered for a moment, then stood up and said, "I need your help with something. Can you come over here?"

Sister took her younger sister into the adjacent lounge for a private chat. Qin Dad and Qin Mom exchanged glances.

"Is this the first time Qin Yue has actively sought out Qin Xin?" Qin Dad whispered. "That's a good thing."

Qin Mom had a strange expression, looking at the crumbs of bread on the table, deep in thought: "It's a good thing, but I always feel like something is off."

What could be off?
