Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

Jiu'an Advanced Apartment Building is one of the few buildings decorated in pink in Peicheng. It is particularly eye-catching no matter what angle it is viewed from. The new apartment Zhuang Feifei rents is in Room 2202 of the building. It is a simple and comfortable little nest.

In other words, not very tidy.

There are half-finished clothes and fabric accessories everywhere on the floor, bed, and table. A slightly old pedal sewing machine is the well-deserved protagonist in the room. Zhuang Feifei was busy working and obviously had no time to clean up. Anyone who wanted to enter the house had to follow a specific route to avoid messing up her work.

Seeing how hard she worked, Zhuang Xuteng felt sorry for his sister, so how could he say that she didn'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 industrial "popular aesthetic" emphasizes the most efficient use of space. Cost reduction has long penetrated into the bones of designers and builders of rental apartments. The biggest difference from the previous apartment is that the bedroom is one meter wide, so it can fit two single beds, just like a standard room.

"Your bed is over there!" Zhuang Feifei pointed to the bed where four large bags of clothes were placed, and said, "If you want to sleep now, I will tidy up. You can hand over these bags of clothes this evening, and the room will be much empty. I don’t have to move it twice.”

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

"I don't know. Maybe you are unlucky." Zhuang Feifei said: "The neighbors on the left are an old couple. They are usually very kind, but they like to eat stinky tofu, which has a strong taste. The resident on the right is also a student and tall. Martha, but she is shy when talking and is not easy to communicate with. Brother, if you want something to eat, go to the kitchen and find it yourself. Wash the dishes for me by the way, and I will thank you."

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

There was a shadow energy reaction in the ventilation duct directly opposite the shower and toilet. Zhuang Xuteng took it apart and found a monitoring probe. From the appearance, it was a cheap probe that was removed from other places in the apartment. It was bigger than his fist and was obviously not a professional voyeur device. The probe was still connected to a wire, extending along the ventilation duct, leading to who knows where.

"Look! There is indeed a problem!" Zhuang Xuteng glanced at his sister with the probe, then pulled off the wire.

"How do you know there's something there?"

"This is called social experience!" Zhuang Xuteng said: "In short, you are right to listen to me. You must be more vigilant at ordinary times, be careful of strangers, and be careful of people who look familiar. Give you a gun, you Just carry it with you and use it when in danger, do you understand?"

Zhuang Feifei looked at the probe and nodded quickly.

"I found a place to throw this thing away, and bought something to eat on the way. I already know the password, and I know how to open the door myself. I don't have to open the door if anyone knocks on the door." After Zhuang Xuteng said that, he went out with the surveillance camera.

He searched up and down the floor several times, but saw no other possible phenomena, so he sucked up the image in the camera from the control chip and found a trash can to throw it away. This time, there is no discomfort when absorbing the shadow energy. It seems that there is indeed a difference between a domesticated shadow and a living shadow.

The dinner for the two of them was a semi-finished instant meal. After eating, Zhuang Xuteng helped his sister carry the goods. After returning, Zhuang Xuteng gave 8,000 euros to his sister, asking her to keep it well so that she could use it for herself, and if her parents needed it, she would secretly give it to them - keeping it a secret from her eldest brother so as not to put pressure on him.

"With the two thousand left, I have to buy some clothes. I need to dress more formally during training." Zhuang Xuteng felt a bit like a mother-in-law at this time, constantly telling Zhuang Feifei to pay attention to safety and take care of herself. "The training class starts in four days, and I have to go and report the day after tomorrow. I heard that I have to live at the training class most of the time, and I may not be able to come back when, but I really can't take care of you."

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

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

"It is inconspicuous, wear-resistant and breathable, suitable for PCPD training. I heard that some armored suits are very good, maybe they can have this function. Oh, by the way, it is best to be lighter and have more pockets. I like the ones with more pockets Clothes can hold more things..."

Zhuang Feifei rolled her eyes and said, "It's not that you like to have many pockets, but that you like to wear everything you own! Your requirements are actually about a house! One set of clothes can't satisfy you at the same time."

Zhuang Xuteng thought for a while and thought his sister was right. Sure enough, he still has no sense of security, and the essential root of this insecurity is "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 to the body. Of course, it won’t look ugly if it’s fully exposed. The lining of the riot squad’s clothing is made of the same kind of fabric, so there’s absolutely no problem. In addition, there is a kind of backpack that is very interesting. Just pull the rope and it can be Half of the backpack flips to the front and turns into a tactical vest with many pockets. I know a store that sells imitations of this thing. It is cheap and must be enough. After all, you are just going to train..."

"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 carry out 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. Absorbing the spirit will of course affect your body and spirit. You know few spells now, your body is too weak, and your spirit is not strong. It is easy to be affected by the resentment of the living shadow followers. I can help you overcome your mental problems. Question, to save you from being 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, without 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 follower, so there was no need to strengthen my body."

"Isn't it even more necessary? Why do we need to use the word 'gentle'?" 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 to pieces, at least you can leave a complete skeleton."

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