In the midst of cherry blossoms dancing in the wind, Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of promise written there.

"Excited? Thrilled? The acquisition of bioenergy isn't solely dependent on food. The human body generates kinetic energy with every movement, and this kinetic energy can be converted into bioenergy. However, the kinetic energy produced by normal human movements is used to drive the body, and the system can either not or only extract a small amount of kinetic energy for conversion.

Only the intense kinetic energy generated during intimate activities between a man and a woman can be converted into more than 50% of the energy for the system to use. The bioenergy converted from kinetic energy is much stronger than the bioenergy accumulated from drinking and eating, and it doesn't affect human health."

Wu's words left Yang Jie completely stunned. No wonder Wu had virtualized Xie Yan and Cao Meng's bodies; the root cause was here! Yang Jie never imagined that intimate activities could provide Wu with a large amount of bioenergy, even surpassing the bioenergy he provided by drinking. If Wu hadn't said it himself, Yang Jie wouldn't have believed such a bizarre and strange thing.

"Wu, are you talking in your sleep?" Yang Jie stared at Wu, asking seriously.

"Wu is an intelligent system and doesn't dream." Wu replied with a smile, then directly virtualized a human image performing special movements in Yang Jie's mind, making Yang Jie's eyes widen.

Wu had virtualized Yang Jie himself, engaging in the most primitive human activity with Xie Yan and Cao Meng, who were composed of light beams. Colorful lines representing hormones and the kinetic energy generated by the movement rapidly moved within their bodies.

"The human body contains various mysteries, even in a highly advanced technological era 200 years later, which cannot be fully analyzed and explored. During the most intimate contact, the human body produces multiple hormones besides hormones, which stimulate the body to generate far more kinetic energy than normal movements. When this kinetic energy is absorbed by the system, it doesn't affect human health and can even bring some benefits to the two people involved."

"I'm still a virgin! Is there a more tactful way to tell me this?" Yang Jie, looking at the virtualized version of himself, complained to Wu as he saw the two women panting and blushing.

"Yan, do you feel that Yang Jie has been looking at us strangely since he came out of the bathroom?" Cao Meng, seeing Yang Jie rush back to the bedroom after coming out of the bathroom, asked Xie Yan, feeling puzzled.

"No, I don't think so!" Xie Yan, engrossed in the TV, didn't notice Yang Jie's expression.

"No, I have to check. That guy might have done something with our underwear!" Cao Meng stood up and quickly walked into the bathroom. Seeing that her underwear on the washbasin was the same as when she put it down, she felt relieved.

The next morning, Yang Jie came out of the bedroom and saw Xie Yan busy in the kitchen.

"Xiao Jie, the noodles are almost ready. I've fried an egg for you. Go wash up and come eat breakfast!" Xie Yan, hearing the noise, looked back at Yang Jie coming out of the bedroom and smiled, gesturing with the spatula in her hand.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Yang Jie, surprised that breakfast was included in the meal expenses, looked at the clock on the wall, which read 7:20, and quickly went to the bathroom to wash up before coming out to eat breakfast.

"Is Cao Meng still in bed?" Yang Jie asked Xie Yan, who was sitting across the table, while eating.

"She usually gets up early to run to work and usually eats breakfast outside." Xie Yan, eating noodles, mumbled in response.

Changning Road was not far from Fuchuan Street, and it only took about ten minutes to walk through the alleys. After finishing breakfast, Yang Jie told Xie Yan that he wouldn't be back for dinner and hurried out of the dormitory, walking quickly toward the county government compound.

The work at the Foreign Affairs and Overseas Chinese Affairs Office was very leisurely, as Guo Ziqiang put it, comparable to the Party History Office, which did nothing all day. Sitting in the office, Yang Jie spent the morning reading documents and archives, memorizing the relevant materials of the Foreign Affairs and Overseas Chinese Affairs Office and the county's development statistics over the past few years. Finally, it was time for lunch.

"Xiao Yang, come here!" As soon as Yang Jie walked out of the office, he heard Chen Yuan calling him.

Chen Yuan was standing with two deputy directors of the County Party Committee Office, Zhang Yun and Zhou Dequan. Seeing them standing in the corridor discussing something, Yang Jie, not daring to be negligent, quickly walked over.

"Xiao Yang, the vice-county magistrate in charge of investment promotion in Luosang County, Xiao Yasong, has led a team to Quhe County to learn about investment promotion. Director Zhang and Director Zhou will represent the county to receive them at the Quhe Hotel at noon. You have a good drinking capacity and are familiar with investment promotion, so go and help with the reception." Chen Yuan mentioned that Luosang County was one of the five counties and two districts under Changyang City.

Eighty percent of Luosang County is in the mountains, with extremely inconvenient transportation and no pillar economic industries. It is a national-level poverty-stricken county supported by agriculture, forestry, and national fiscal subsidies. The county's development lags far behind the other four counties under Changyang City, so the leaders of Luosang County have little status in the city. When they come to sister counties for exchanges and learning, they are generally not taken seriously.

Sending two full-section-level deputy directors of the County Party Committee Office to receive a non-Party member vice-county magistrate from Luosang County is already considered giving them a lot of face.

"Okay! I'll call back to the dormitory and tell my roommate not to prepare my meal. Director Zhang and Director Zhou, why don't you go to the Quhe Hotel first, and I'll follow shortly." Yang Jie, without hesitation, agreed.

Last night, Wu virtualized the bodies of the two women, consuming a lot of bioenergy. Now he urgently needed to replenish bioenergy to keep the system running normally, and naturally, he was eager to drink more free alcohol.

Zhang Yun, hearing Yang Jie's words, smiled and said, "No need to go back to your office to make a call. The car is waiting downstairs. You can call when we get to the Quhe Hotel."

It only took about five minutes to drive from the county government compound to the Quhe Hotel, and a few minutes didn't matter. Yang Jie nodded and followed the three directors downstairs.

In the County Party Committee Office, only Chen Yuan had a dedicated car. The other two deputy directors had to use the cars temporarily dispatched by the logistics department. After seeing Chen Yuan off, Yang Jie got into a Jetta car from the County Party Committee Office.

These days, Yang Jie almost ate at the Quhe Hotel every day, so he was already a regular customer. Following the two directors into the hotel, he greeted the receptionist standing at the entrance familiarly. Seeing Yang Jie come to the hotel again, the receptionist, Deng Xiaoyue, stuck out her tongue and made a funny face at him.

Seeing the mischievous Deng Xiaoyue, Yang Jie smiled. This girl had just graduated from a vocational school with a major in accounting but was assigned to work as a receptionist because of her good looks. Yang Jie had chatted with her a few times when he stayed at the hotel and considered her a friend. He didn't expect her to be on duty today, and he had already met her three times this week while eating.

The private room for receiving the delegation from Luosang County was in the Lotus Hall. Yang Jie followed the two directors into the Lotus Hall and saw that the three round tables were already occupied by many people. Upon closer inspection, he recognized several familiar faces. The head of the Comprehensive Department of the County Party Committee Office, Gu Zhongyi, was sitting at one of the round tables with three department members, chatting with the officials from Luosang County.

The director of the County Government Office, Ma Liangyu, was sitting at the head table, whispering to a middle-aged man in his thirties. Seeing this, Zhang Yun and Zhou Dequan smiled and approached, "County Magistrate Xiao, you've been in meetings all morning. We're sorry for being late and for keeping the officials from Luosang County waiting!"

Although Xiao Yasong was a vice-county magistrate, Luosang County had the lowest status among the counties and districts under Changyang City. Being received by three full-section-level directors from the County Party Committee Office was already considered giving him a lot of face, so he didn't mind the few minutes' delay.

"Director Zhang, Director Zhou, we're all old friends. Why be so formal? It's been a few months since we last met. The last time we met was at the Municipal Party School." Xiao Yasong stood up and shook hands with Zhang Yun and Zhou Dequan, smiling and reminiscing.

"That's right! Time flies! It's been half a year already. County Magistrate Xiao still looks as handsome and dashing as ever!" Zhang Yun, hearing this, smiled and then introduced Yang Jie to Xiao Yasong, "County Magistrate Xiao, this is Yang Jie, the director of the Foreign Affairs and Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the County Party Committee. The success of Quhe County's investment promotion is largely due to him. If you come to Quhe County to learn, he's the right person to talk to."

Hearing this, Xiao Yasong's eyes lit up. Quhe County's investment promotion results were outstanding even in the city. People with access to information had heard of Yang Jie, who had made significant contributions to the investment promotion. Since Xiao Yasong led the delegation to Quhe County for learning and exchange, he had naturally heard of Yang Jie.

"Comrade Yang is truly talented! Just starting work, he can help Quhe County secure such a large investment. No wonder Quhe County values him so much. If such a talent isn't valued, other counties will snatch him away!" Xiao Yasong, seeing that Yang Jie was so young and already a section-level official, knew he must have been promoted exceptionally. Considering Yang Jie's contributions to Quhe County's investment promotion, he understood why Quhe County had done this.

If Yang Jie were in Luosang County and could bring in tens of millions of dollars in foreign investment for the county, with such achievements, not only would he be promoted exceptionally to a section-level official, but even to a deputy section-level official with real power, Luosang County would be willing!
