After rushing into the living room, Li Teng saw that the previously reset 30-day countdown had advanced by 23 minutes, changing to 29 days, 23 hours, and 37 minutes.
"If I'm not mistaken..." Li Teng went over to the electricity meter and spent 57 time index points to charge it with one kilowatt-hour of electricity.
Indeed, the 30-day countdown advanced by almost a minute.
"This 30-day countdown is related to the consumption of time indexes, with each point spent moving it forward one second, meaning that to end this 30-day countdown, a total of... about 2.6 million time index points would need to be spent."
"However, this 30-day countdown can also move backward; if one sleeps, it will reverse."
"So, the actual consumption will be far greater than 2.6 million time index points."
