Who says a sickly daughter can’t break through the weirdness?

Unlike usual, for the first time, a serious look other than a smile appeared on Kana's charming face.

As soon as she entered the house, she warned everyone, just like Shen Qiyin: "Something is not right. I observed several strange ghosts in the ambush area. They are not Ender ghosts, nor are they physical entities. Instead, they look a bit like a combination of the two."

"A combination of the two...?" Tang Miao tilted his head, puzzled. "Uh, could you elaborate?"

"Well, you can probably think of it as a combination of both characteristics, possessing both a physical body and the emptiness of the idealistic level."

"No way? Then how are we going to deal with these things? Can we subdue them with guns alone?"

Kana shrugged nonchalantly, returning to her usual indifferent smile. "Who can say for sure? I've never encountered anything like this before. If it's truly a combination of the two, I'm afraid even if one is physically destroyed, the other will still exist, right?"

"Hearing you say it so lightly..."

"Shh! Don't talk yet!"

At this moment, Shen Qiyin suddenly raised her index finger, signaling everyone to be quiet.

She frowned, remained alert at all times, and used her insight to pay attention to any movement around her.

Shen Qinyin and her friends had set traps in many places around the B&B.

Those traps are simple "land mines" made by using flawed dusk stones, combined with explosives and trigger mechanisms, and upgraded using laptops.

Although simple, it is not crude.

Shen Qiyin has tested the power of this trap mine. After the explosion, the power it generates is enough to kill a level 2 monster in seconds.

Even a level three Ender Ghost would be paralyzed by the physical damage of the explosion and the exorcism effect of the Dusk Stone if it was hit unexpectedly.

As long as they become paralyzed, Shen Qiyin can use Holy Judgment to shoot them in the head.

Holy Judgement has a unique box stacking mechanism. As long as you stack enough boxes, the bullets will be more powerful. If you stack enough boxes, you may be able to kill third-level monsters like Ender Ghost instantly.

In addition, Tang Miao and others are lying in ambush in the dark, and the power of the Eye of Death should not be underestimated. Killing an Ender Ghost first will make the rest of the process much easier.

But who could have thought that something unusual would happen tonight.

It was strange to say, the two special ender ghosts she had detected before were obviously approaching the B&B, but just when they reached the street outside the B&B and Shen Qiyin was ready to trigger the trap mine remotely, they actually left again.

Shen Qiyin observed for a long time and found that the other party was not wandering around looking for a way to break through, or pretending to leave to let them relax their vigilance.

After they left, there was no sign of them returning.

In addition to these two strange beasts that look like ender ghosts, there are also several scattered strange beasts passing by the B&B.

Like the former, these strange beasts were just passing by and did not stay for a moment.

They were moving in the same direction, giving Shen Qiyin the feeling that these guys were marching.

Where are they going? That direction seems to be leaving Huanglin City and heading towards the front line of Huaibei Province, right?

Could it be that something unexpected happened in the military district?

The night passed quickly. Although nothing terrible happened that night, everyone was still worried all night.

As dawn approached, after making sure that the night had gone peacefully, Shen Qinyin returned to her room and picked up the key to the "rest room".

As the blue door appeared out of nowhere, Shen Qinyin entered the door and appeared on the chair in the "rest room" the next second.

"Good day, Qiyin."

Melody sat across from her across the desk as usual, with a cup of steaming black tea and some snacks on the table.

"Can you eat too?"

Shen Qiyin asked this question doubtfully. In her opinion, beings like Melodia who were not human beings should not need to eat.

"These foods are not objective objects. Like everything here, they are just reflections of your inner world."

Melodya smiled gently and explained, "In the spiritual world, these foods are tasteless. As for why I should eat them, just consider it a way for me to pass the time."

"Whatever. I came here to ask you this time. I have collected some gold, but physical objects cannot be brought into this place. How are you going to keep them?"

"Don't worry about that. What's important is that you've already collected gold. I'll assess its value based on the amount of gold you've collected."

"Then please do me a favor and give me a better evaluation."

"..."

Melodya smiled without saying anything. Shen Qiyin couldn't tell what means the other party used. Anyway, after a few seconds, the other party confirmed the quality of the gold collected by Shen Qiyin.

"Well, based on the gold you've collected so far, the final valuation is 10 points."

"Excuse me, what does 10 o'clock mean here?"

"This independent unit, called the 'rest room,' is a unique entity condensed from the concept of 'value.'"

Melodya said as she pushed a menu-like document in front of Shen Qiyin: "This catalog lists the services that the 'rest room' can provide you with, as well as the corresponding prices. Please take a look."

"..."

It felt like entering a hotel, even the service menu was there.

Shen Qiyin flipped through the catalogue as if she was playing a game. In addition to expanding and building rest areas such as the meditation room and trial field, the most valuable thing was to entrust Melodya to teach her "skills".

That’s right, these are real skills, such as mental enhancement, telekinesis control, fire control, electrical energy control, etc.

If you regard reality as a game, then you can completely regard Melodia as your skill mentor.

You know what, Shen Qiyin is lacking this right now. The conditions for obtaining skills by upgrading items with a notebook are too harsh. Most items only become more advanced after upgrading. She has not yet encountered a second item like the telekinesis ring.

However, the price of hand-made skill books is too expensive. An ordinary skill costs thousands of desire stones, which Shen Qiyin cannot afford, not to mention that the cost-effectiveness of ordinary skills is so low.

If Melodia could teach him these skills directly, it would not only give him another way to become stronger, but also save him a lot of desire stones in the future.

Shen Qiyin looked around for a long time as if she was shopping in a mall. Originally, she wanted to learn healing-related skills to make up for the lack of healing roles in the current team, but after walking around for a long time, she found that all Melodya taught were attack and auxiliary methods, and there was no healing skills at all.

Are the healing skills in your game so noble?

Shen Qiyin now mainly relies on power armor to move around. It is estimated that it will not be long before she can board the simplified version of Titan. There is no need for these means of attack for the time being.

As for auxiliary means, there are only three auxiliary skills that can be learned with 10 points, one to increase attack, one to increase defense, and one to increase acceleration.

These three things combined are not as powerful as Tang Miao's blessing, so it would be useless to learn them.

After much deliberation, Shen Qinyin finally chose to use these 10 points and let Melodya "build" a meditation room for her.

According to Melodya's explanation, the meditation room, as a "place for cultivation", can gradually strengthen Shen Qinyin's spiritual abilities, just like cultivating immortals. The longer she cultivates, the stronger her spiritual power will be.

Anyway, there are no other skills to buy. The meditation room can be opened at only 10 o'clock. It's completely free, so just open it.

With this idea in mind, Shen Qinyin decisively commissioned Melodya to build a meditation room for her.

She put a check mark behind the meditation room on the "menu" and handed it back.

"I see. So you're building a meditation room? I see."

Melody snapped her fingers nonchalantly, and the next second, a sudden earthquake-like tremor shook the rest room.

When the shaking stopped, a blue door suddenly appeared on the empty wall on the right.

Shen Qinyin walked quickly forward, opened the door, and entered the meditation room.

It is called a meditation room, but it is actually a small dark room with only a few blue candles lit. In the middle is a circular pool, and in the middle of the pool is a cushion for meditation.

It's so simple, no wonder it's so cheap.

After taking a look around, Shen Qiyin asked, "I remember you said that in the rest room, my external body is still asleep. In other words, my meditation here won't affect my mental state in reality, right?"

Melody nodded slightly. "That's right. Not only that, but meditation will actually improve your sleep quality."

"Then it seems I can come here to 'stay overnight' every night from now on," Shen Qiyin nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "I wanted to try it out, but it's almost dawn and I have something important to do today."

"Are you leaving? Then please accept this."

Melody suddenly handed a pair of glasses to Shen Qinyin.

Miraculously, as soon as the latter took it, the glasses turned into a stream of light and automatically penetrated into her body.

Shen Qiyin suddenly felt that she seemed to have changed a little, but she couldn't tell where the specific change was.

"I've noticed that you possess insights far beyond those of ordinary people. This is something I've tailored specifically for you. It can materialize your insights in digital form."

Hearing this, Shen Qiyin immediately reacted: "Oh, I see, combat power detection glasses, quite interesting."

Melody smiled and nodded slightly: "You can understand it that way."

"Is this a gift for my first purchase? Thank you. I'll take it. If there's a chance in the future, I'll treat you to a delicious meal."

When Shen Qinyin said this, Melodya's expression froze for a moment.

She seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, she showed a slightly apologetic look and said with a smile: "Qiyin, if it is convenient, can you agree to some personal commissions for me?

As a reward, I can provide you with some services for free, or give you some help with props."

"Hmm? You actually have something you can entrust me with?"

Shen Qinyin was very interested in the conditions proposed by Melodya. After all, based on past gaming experience, assistants of all generations could have their favorability improved through commissions.

That is the bond level of soul resonance.

If I could also form a bond with Melodia, I might get a discount when I learn skills from her in the future.

Thinking of this, Shen Qiyin immediately agreed: "Of course, what do you need me to help you with?"

"I'm glad you agreed. Please allow me to prepare a list of commissions. When you come in later, I will issue the commissions according to the list."

"Oh, it feels like playing a game, okay."

"Thank you very much. I will take you away now."

......

After coming out of the velvet...oh no, from the rest room, it was already completely bright outside.

Shen Qiyin used her telekinesis to float down from the bed and found that everyone was still awake.

Apart from Kana and Xiaoxiang's unchanging expressions, Lin Qiutang and Tang Miao both looked worried, obviously worried about what happened last night.

Shen Qiyin comforted them briefly, then found a civilian radio that she had brought back from the survivor base at the auto repair shop and brought it into the bedroom.

She placed the radio on the table, next to an upgraded, flawed Duskstone.

Mona, transformed into a black cat, jumped onto the table, blinking her big black eyes, staring at the radio motionlessly, as if she was particularly curious about what Shen Qinyin wanted to do.

Shen Qiyin plans to make a communicator that can avoid the black tide's shielding.

She had wanted to try it a few days ago, but was worried about the advanced version of the Sound Tamperer, which delayed it for a few days.

Chen Guanglin mentioned before that the country has developed communicators and radios that can avoid the Kuroshio Current, but the principle behind it is not clear.

Although Shen Qinyin was not clear about the principle, she felt that it should be related to the White Flame I. The country's researchers probably applied the relevant technologies of the White Flame I to scientific electrical appliances.

So she planned to combine the two and use the special ability of the notebook to upgrade and rebuild it, maybe she could break through the signal shielding of the Kuroshio.

Anyway, the power from the "notebook" is not based on logic or principles, so it doesn't hurt to give it a try.

She placed her hand on the pile of materials. After a brief silence, the notebook indeed emitted a prompt:

[Do you want to spend 50 Desire Stones to upgrade the "Civilian Radio + Defective Dusk Stone" to the "Dusk Communicator"?]

It even picked a name automatically? There's hope!

Shen Qinyin was delighted and immediately chose "yes".

The next second, the civilian radio station was completely transformed.

Compared with the previous one, the civilian radio upgraded from the laptop has not changed much except that the color is slightly newer and the shell has an extra layer of silver-gray.

However, if you perceive carefully, you can detect the sacred aura coming from the Dusk Stone.

With the idea of ​​giving it a try, Shen Qiyin immediately turned on the radio and adjusted the channel.

Not long after, a hoarse and tired male voice suddenly came from the radio station's loudspeaker -

"Zizizizi... Hello, is anyone still alive? Hello?"

"This is Zizizizi... the Ghost Hunters Association branch. I repeat, this is the Huaibei Ghost Hunters Association branch..."

"The association is recruiting talent. Anyone who is confident in their skills can sign up."

"Recruitment requirements: Firearms, Mechanical Engineering, Communications Engineering, and combat skills must be proficient in one of these. Experience with fighting monsters and other combat skills is also welcome."

"Oh, if you are qualified, all the above requirements are invalid. The association will always open its doors to you..."

Listening to the man's voice, Shen Qiyin in front of the radio was both happy and suspicious.

The good news is that the radio station was able to break through the shielding.
