Lin Ye turned his head to look at her.

The little girl's cheeks were chubby, and her lips were slightly parted, revealing her tiny teeth.

"Because pigs are pink." Lin Ye chuckled, his voice filled with helplessness and affection.

"Does it have a mom and dad?"

"Yes, look down, it'll be out in a bit."

"I see..." Little Pocket nodded, and the tuft of hair on her head swayed up and down with the movement.

She turned her gaze back to the screen, pulled her hands back, folded them over her stomach, and watched intently.

The living room fell silent.

The only sound was coming from the television—Peppa was laughing, George was crying, and Mummy Pig was talking.

The ticking of the clock was muffled and barely audible.

Sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The golden sunlight at nine or ten in the morning spread across the wooden floor, climbed the armrests of the sofa, and finally fell on Xiaodouzi's hair.

The tuft of hair was almost transparent in the light, and every single strand seemed to be clearly visible.

Lin Ye leaned back on the sofa, one hand resting on the armrest, his fingers unconsciously tapping the leather surface.

His gaze fell on the little boy, but his mind was elsewhere.

"System, live stream settlement."

He mentally invoked the system.

A curtain of light unfolded before my eyes.

It was translucent, with a pale blue light, and the words on it popped up one by one, as if someone was typing them sentence by sentence.

[Live Streaming Data Statistics]

[Livestream duration: 2 hours 47 minutes]

Total viewership: Approximately 3200 million

[Total Shock Points Acquired: 5900.]

[Do you want to view the retrieved details?]

Lin Ye silently said, "Check."

The words on the screen continued to flash, growing more and more numerous and densely packed.

The detailed breakdown is as follows:

Showcase the study's collection of books and photographs, earning a total of 200 points of shock (astonished by the number of books and the realism of the photographs).

Showcasing panoramic views of the modern city through floor-to-ceiling windows, it garnered a total of 450 points of awe (generating a strong sense of awe at the skyscrapers, bridges spanning the river, etc.).

Showcasing the living room decor and modern pajama outfits garnered a total of 150 points of amazement (awe at the materials and comfort of the home furnishings).

The breakfast showcase—millet porridge, steamed buns, Cantonese dim sum, steak, and fruit platter—earned a total of 300 points of amazement (astonishment at the novel foods, cooking techniques, and out-of-season fruits and vegetables).

Displaying pure milk resulted in a total shock value of 200 points (everyone was extremely shocked by the large cup of pure milk).

[Details of Extra Shock Point Acquisition:]

Taking a photo with Ye Fan convinced many people in the Great Flame Kingdom, earning an additional 1000 points of shock value.

The people of the Great Flame Kingdom were envious of Xiao Douzi's happy state and gained an extra 600 shock points.

The awe shown by a small number of people in the Great Flame Kingdom grants an additional 3000 points of Shock Value.

Lin Ye's gaze swept over the details, and his eyebrows rose.

Additional rewards?

Belief, admiration, and awe.

These words went through his mind.

It's so much more shock value than just shock alone—Awe has 3000 points, which is equivalent to the sum of all the previous items.

And it's just the awe of a small minority that can generate so much...

Lin Ye seemed to be deep in thought.

He then realized that he didn't have time to think about that now.

What's more important now is—

He opened the system store.

The store's interface is different from the live stream data; it's a warm yellow, like turning the first page of an old book.

The first item caught my eye.

[Strengthening Pill (Children's Version): For use by children under 5 years old. It comprehensively improves physical condition, restoring the body to its optimal state suitable for the current age and time period. Requires 200 Shock Points to redeem.]

Lin Ye's gaze lingered on the "200" for a second.

Then without any hesitation.

"System, exchange for Strengthening Pill (Children's Version)."

[Exchange successful. Item has been added to the system inventory; the host can retrieve it at any time with a thought.]

[Current Shock Value Balance: 5700 points.]

Lin Ye's mind raced.

A small pill appeared out of thin air in the palm of his right hand.

The pill was only the size of a soybean, milky white in color, with a faint pearly sheen on its surface.

He brought the pill to his nose and smelled it.

A very faint sweet fragrance wafted over.

Like some unknown flower in spring, blooming far away, its fragrance carried by the wind, faint and elusive.

"System, how do I eat this? Are there any precautions?" Lin Ye asked the system in his mind.

[Instructions for use of the Strengthening Pill (Children's Version): Take orally directly. After taking the medicine, the patient will enter a deep sleep state, lasting approximately 24 hours. During this time, the medicine will act throughout the body, allowing the body to complete all repair and adjustment processes.]

After listening, Lin Ye looked down at Xiao Douzi, who was engrossed in watching TV.

The little girl sat cross-legged on the sofa, her chin resting on the back of her hand, her eyes unblinking, and a tuft of hair on her head trembling as she gently shook her head.

The light from the television screen shone on her face, making the sallow complexion even more noticeable—a withered yellow tinge caused by long-term malnutrition.

Her cheekbones were high and prominent from thinness, leaving only her large, expressive eyes as the most striking feature of her face.

There were two dark circles under his eyes, which clearly showed that he rarely got a good night's sleep.

My hair was washed yesterday, but the ends are still dry and have tiny, uncombable knots.

The pink pajamas looked loose on her, the neckline slipping down to reveal her delicate collarbone.

Even with the cuffs rolled up twice, a small section still grew out, covering all the fingers except for a few tiny, slender fingertips.

Feet emerged from under the blanket, ankles as thin as wrists, skin so thin it was almost transparent where bones protruded, revealing fine, winding blue veins underneath.

She's really too thin...

When it comes to conditioning your body, you can't wait a moment longer!

"Little Pocket".

Lin Ye bent down, reached out his right hand, and gently patted the little girl's shoulder.

The force was as light as brushing away dew from flower petals.

Little Douzi was completely engrossed in watching.

There are now several pink pigs on the screen, big and small, lined up in a row, talking to each other, accompanied by background music that makes a tinkling sound.

"Hmm? Godfather?" she responded, her eyes reluctantly shifting away to look over.

"Come on, open your mouth, I'll give you a candy."

Her gaze fell on Lin Ye's palm.

The milky-white pills, round and small, gleamed softly under the light, like a carefully polished pearl.

Little Douzi didn't ask what it was.

No hesitation.

There was no doubt.

She opened her little mouth directly.

"ah--"

Lin Ye put the strengthening pill in and gently lifted Xiao Douzi's chin.

The person in front of me smacked their lips.

"Is it sweet?" Lin Ye asked.

The little boy savored the taste for a moment, just about to speak—

Suddenly, her body stiffened.

It was as if someone had pressed the pause button, and the person froze there, completely motionless.

The tuft of hair still maintained its crooked curve, but it remained suspended in mid-air, as if frozen.

Lin Ye's heart tightened, and he quickly asked, "Little Douzi? Little Douzi, what's wrong?"

no respond.

Xiao Douzi's eyes were still open, but her whole body began to tremble slightly, and her two thin lips touched each other, making a soft, chattering sound like teeth clattering.

"Little Douzi!" Lin Ye's voice rose unconsciously as he grabbed her thin shoulders, feeling the dramatic changes happening to her small body.

He hurriedly called the system to ask what was going on.

[Shu Ling'er's health is poor, hence the slightly stronger reaction. It will not cause any harm to her body, please rest assured.]

As soon as the system notification sound ended, Xiao Douzi's lips suddenly moved.

She seemed to want to say something.

Lin Ye quickly leaned down, bringing his ear close to her mouth, so close he could almost feel the warm breath she was exhaling.

A faint, intermittent voice drifted into his ears: "Godfather... I suddenly feel... I..."
