Chapter 57 Chapter 56 Integrity

Jiuan Advanced Apartment Building, one of the few pink-decorated buildings in Peicheng, is particularly eye-catching from any angle. The new apartment that Zhuang Feifei rented is in Room 2202 of the building. It is a simple and comfortable nest.

In other words, it is not very tidy.

On the floor, bed, and table, there are half-finished clothes and fabric accessories everywhere. A slightly old pedal sewing machine is the undisputed protagonist in the room. Zhuang Feifei is busy working and obviously has no time to clean up. Anyone who wants to enter the house must follow a specific route to avoid messing up her work.

Seeing her so hardworking, Zhuang Xuteng feels sorry for his sister, so how could he say that she doesn't like to be tidy. Touching his sister's head, his smile and encouragement never stopped.

The layout of the apartment is similar to the previous one. The industrialized "popular aesthetics" emphasizes the most efficient use of space. Cost reduction has long been infiltrated into the bones of rental apartment designers and builders. The biggest difference from the previous apartment is the bedroom. It is one meter wide, so it can fit two single beds, just like a standard room.

"Your bed is there!" Zhuang Feifei pointed to the bed with four large bags of clothes and said, "If you want to sleep now, I will clean it up. These bags of clothes can be handed in this evening. The house will be much emptier and I won't have to move twice."

"I'm not sleepy now. I'll clean it up with you in the evening." Zhuang Xuteng looked around and said, "This place looks pretty good. Why didn't I find such a cheap apartment before?"

"I don't know. Maybe you're unlucky." Zhuang Feifei said, "The neighbors on the left are an elderly couple. They are usually very kind, but they like to eat stinky tofu, which has a strong smell. The resident on the right is also a student. He is tall and strong, but he is shy when he speaks and is not easy to communicate with. Brother, if you want to eat something, go to the kitchen and find it yourself. By the way, wash the dishes for me, thank you."

Zhuang Xuteng shrugged and went to wash the dishes honestly. He took advantage of this time to use the Shadow Eye and began to check the room. Unexpectedly, he really found the problem.

There was a shadow energy reaction in the ventilation duct directly opposite the shower and toilet. Zhuang Xuteng disassembled it and found a surveillance probe. From the outside, this was a cheap probe removed from other parts of the apartment. It was bigger than his fist and obviously not a professional voyeur device. The probe was still connected to a wire, extending along the ventilation duct, and it was unknown where it led to.

"Look! There is indeed a problem!" Zhuang Xuteng showed the probe to his sister, and then tore off the wire.

"How do you know there will be something there?"

"This is called social experience!" Zhuang Xuteng said: "In short, you can't go wrong by listening to me. You must be vigilant at ordinary times, be careful of strangers, and be careful of people who look familiar. I give you a gun, you carry it with you, and use it when you encounter danger, understand?"

Zhuang Feifei looked at the probe and nodded quickly.

"I'll find a place to throw this thing away, and buy something to eat. I already know the password, and I can open the door by myself. I don't need to open it if you knock on the door." Zhuang Xuteng said, and then he took the surveillance camera out.

He searched up and down the floor for several times, and didn't see any other possible phenomena, so he sucked the shadow in the camera from the control chip and found a trash can to throw it away. This time, I didn't feel uncomfortable when absorbing the energy of the shadow follower. It seems that there is indeed a difference between tamed shadow followers and living shadow followers.

The dinner for the two of them was a semi-finished fast food meal. After eating, Zhuang Xuteng helped his sister carry the goods. After returning, Zhuang Xuteng gave his sister 8,000 euros and asked her to keep it well. On the one hand, she could use it for herself, and on the other hand, if her parents needed it, she could give it to them secretly - keep it secret from her eldest brother and don't let him feel pressured.

"I have to buy some clothes for the remaining two thousand. I have to dress more formally during the training." Zhuang Xuteng was a little nagging at this time, and kept telling Zhuang Feifei to pay attention to safety and take care of herself. "The training course will start in four days, and I have to go there the day after tomorrow to register. I heard that I have to live in the training course most of the time, and I don't know when I can come back, so I really can't take care of you."

"Now you are going to study, you are still a freshman, but you are here to teach me, a senior student who has never stopped studying?" Zhuang Feifei snorted and said, "Let's say you want to buy formal clothes. Do you know what formal means? What are you going to do with the clothes? Commuting, business, leisure, banquets, or..."

As she spoke, she also smiled, waved her hands, and said, "Our family is not yet at the point where we need to subdivide the clothing so much. level. However, I can really recommend some options to you, just tell me about the functions. "

"It is not conspicuous to wear, wear-resistant and breathable, suitable for PCPD training. I heard that some armored suits are very good, and they may have this function. Oh, by the way, it is better to be lighter and have more pockets. I like clothes with more pockets, which can hold more things..."

Zhuang Feifei rolled her eyes and said, "You don't like more pockets, but you like to wear all your wealth on your body! Your requirements are actually about the house! One set of clothes cannot meet all of them at the same time. "

Zhuang Xuteng thought about it and thought that his sister was right. He really still had no sense of security, and the root cause of this insecurity was "poverty".

"Let's do it step by step. Let you train comfortably first, and then consider the need for armored suits later." Zhuang Feifei took out a piece of paper and started writing on it: "I recommend a good training suit for you, close-fitting. Of course, it doesn’t look bad if it’s completely exposed. The lining of the riot squad’s clothing is made of the same fabric, so there’s absolutely no problem. In addition, there’s a backpack that’s very interesting, and it can be folded when you pull the cord. Half of the backpack flips over to the front and turns into a tactical vest with many pockets. I know a store that sells a replica of this. It's cheap and it's definitely enough for you to go to for training..."

"Just" training... Zhuang Xuteng didn't think so. He valued this opportunity very much. If others take the PCPD crash course just to find a job, then he is more concerned about saving his own life. PCPD has officially issued equipment, is surrounded by comrades for support, and can also call in riot control units. And a mercenary survives almost entirely on his own ability, so what can he do if he doesn't learn his skills well?

Zhuang Feifei continued: "Don't think so much about clothes, sleep well tonight. I still have some scraps of wear-resistant cloth, and I can make you a pair of gloves. It can be completed in two days. I'm sleepy, I'll go first Asleep..."

Before going to bed, Zhuang Xuteng walked around the corridor again, checking the safety of the passage and door again, and then lay down in bed. He slept deeply and soundly, forgetting all about Heisenberg and the days of fear and toil.

Three days before the start of training, Zhuang Xuteng should eat well, sleep well, and have a good rest in order to restore his physical fitness as soon as possible. In order to avoid taking too much unexplained medicine, he starved every day in the Wild Monkey Gang and did not dare to drink more water. Now he must make up for it. At the same time, he did not sit still, but took the initiative to conduct recovery training, especially to exercise the muscles of the whole body, so as not to get injured again in the training camp.

The body needs to be armed, and the mind also needs to be armed. At this point, he has a unique advantage, that is, he can go to the Lich Master, and he happens to have some very interesting questions to consult.

It may be that he has absorbed a lot of shadow follower energy recently and is no longer in a state of "may die at any time". The Lich Master is also more willing to talk to Zhuang Xuteng more. 72 The Stone Pillar Hall has also undergone some changes. I feel that the mottled spots on the pillars and the damage on the throne are less than before, and the whole place is a little brighter.

Zhuang Xuteng believed that this was related to the replenishment of shadow energy, and the Lich Master confirmed his idea. He also asked about stomachaches caused by living body shadow after being absorbed. In this regard, the Lich Master does not have a good solution.

"I can only use necromancy to make a metaphor: the lowest level shadow followers are just pure energy, and domesticated shadow followers are like skeletons. They completely obey orders and have no personal will. They can be rubbed no matter how they are. Living shadow followers are evil spirits. Of course, absorbing it will affect your body and spirit. You know few spells now, your body is too weak, and your spirit is not strong enough. I can easily be affected by the resentment of the living shadow. I can help you overcome your mental problems. Question, lest you become a lunatic, but physical pain is another story.”

The Lich Master continued: "The only way to solve your physical pain at present is to give it to me and use your talent in zombies. Otherwise, you can exercise well and become a body like the Wild Monkey Gang, so you won't It has an impact.”

Zhuang Xuteng shook his head and firmly rejected the request. "The physical strength of the Wild Monkey Gang is so amazing that when I used their pistol, my arm almost became useless."

"Then don't use their pistols, just use your own magic to fire them."

"It doesn't hurt to use the spell, but the power is too low and it can't kill anyone. This is a huge risk. After all, the purpose of using a gun is to fight..."

"As I said before, you have to use it more and practice more to improve your abilities."

"Is there any way to exercise using magic? For example..."

"You have too many demands!" said the Lich Master: "Use the Shadow Clan to increase alertness, strength, speed, resistance to blows and recovery speed. You might as well say you want everything!"

"Can't do it?"

"I can only protect your spirit, but cannot exercise your body." The Lich Master said: "I am very focused on improving my mental and magical abilities, trying to become a god, so I must gradually abandon the body. Most of the time after that, I There is only a skeleton, no internal organs, flesh and skin, so I no longer care about physical exercise. In the end, I completely lost my physical form and became like a shadow slave, so there was no need to strengthen my body."

"It's no longer necessary? Why do you need to use the word 'gen'?" Zhuang Xuteng asked: "It was necessary before, right?"

"In the skeleton period, I will train my bones and strengthen my body with various alloys, gems and precious materials. Do you want to learn this?"

Zhuang Xuteng became interested and asked, "Can you make bones as strong as steel?"

"It's stronger than that. At least it can't be broken by a sword or smashed by a hammer. After it's made, even if you are hit with holes all over your body or blown up to a bloody mess, at least you can leave a complete skeleton."

"It's okay, at least it's better than not exercising at all..."
