“There are so many. The library has a lot of interesting books, but some are dangerous. It's best to ask the librarian for advice before reading them.”

“The patients here are all talented, humorous, and even put on talent shows. You can chat with them, but there are some very dangerous patients in the North Wing's special ward. It has nothing to do with their free will; their very existence defines danger. So, it's best not to approach the doors of those rooms. Of course, except for room 419. You can go chat with the Princess if you have time.”

“You can also learn patient handling skills from the staff, like learning how to make various injections from the head nurse. That old woman is especially good at preparing medicines.”

“The underground chapel is also interesting. Father Christine believes in multiple gods and is skilled in divine descension. You can even chat with gods through him. Your friend often goes to the church to confess.”

Mia spoke a lot in one breath, like a tour guide introducing attractions.

“How is Miles doing now?”

Through Mia's introduction, Lin Ye had a certain understanding of the mental hospital. There were many things here that interested him.

“He's doing great. He's adapting much better than 'Kevin' and is about to completely integrate here.”

Mia said meaningfully.

“You know about 'Kevin'?”

Lin Ye was establishing a simulation stronghold for the first time and didn't know about Kevin's situation when he wasn't around.

“Of course. This is a mental hospital. Your spirits are completely different. A normal person can tell at a glance.”

Mia looked into Lin Ye's eyes, as if wanting to see Lin Ye himself in the shelter through his eyes.

“I hope Kevin can adapt soon.”

If Kevin couldn't adapt here, Lin Ye didn't know if this situation would affect the stronghold.

“He will adapt.”

Mia asserted.

The two chatted for a while, and then Mia disappeared.

Lin Ye thought for a while and decided to go to the library to read for a while.

The library was on the third floor of the main building, and the staff dormitory was on the first floor. Kevin still had the mental hospital map given by the head nurse, so Lin Ye easily found the library.

There was no one in the library. The patients here didn't seem to like reading.

Lin Ye didn't find the librarian Mia mentioned. There were more than a dozen large bookshelves in the library, filled with various books. Many of the books here were related to the mind. Lin Ye randomly picked a book that interested him and found an empty seat to read.

The book was called "Ego, Hotpot, Barbecue, and Cold Noodles."

Lin Ye read very carefully. It took him two hours to finish the book.

“Interesting?”

The speaker was a creature with an octopus head, at least in Lin Ye's eyes.

“Very interesting, so interesting that I want to lose my memory and read it again.”

Lin Ye was in a good mood. He hadn't been this relaxed in a long time. Next time, he planned to come over in the afternoon; a leisurely afternoon was more suitable for reading.

It would be even better if there was a drink to slowly savor.

Thinking of this, a glass of orange liquid appeared next to Lin Ye's hand.

It looked a bit like orange juice.

“I am the librarian. You can call me Bob.”

Bob glanced at the cup and didn't say anything.

“My name is Lin Ye, Bob. Can you recommend some safe and interesting books?”

Lin Ye picked up the cup and took a sip. Hmm, it was indeed orange juice.

Although the title wasn't as attractive as the previous one, Lin Ye still read it carefully.

While reading the book, Lin Ye's Seed of Spirit grew slowly, as if it had absorbed some kind of nutrient. The Seed of Spirit would comprehensively strengthen his mental strength, so this growth had a great impact on him.

But even aside from that, Lin Ye really liked the books here.

Three hours later, Lin Ye finished the last page.

“How was it?”

Bob asked.

“Very good, especially the part where the salted fish was eaten. It can already be considered a form of abstract art.”

Lin Ye drank the fifth glass of orange juice in one gulp. He wanted to share a glass with Bob, but he felt that it wasn't appropriate, since he didn't even know the ingredients of the orange juice.

“That part is indeed very good, but I prefer the ending of the story.”

Bob happily discussed the contents of the book with Lin Ye, but the pleasant time was always short, because he still had to go to the game room to mooch spirit energy in the afternoon, so Lin Ye said goodbye to Bob and returned to the shelter.

No items were obtained after the stronghold simulation ended, but for Lin Ye, the growth of the Seed of Spirit was more important.

‘I'll go once every other day from now on. The simulation missions can't be stopped either.’

Lin Ye poured himself a glass of orange juice. The orange juice in the bottle was the same amount as when he left, neither increasing nor decreasing.

After drinking the orange juice, Lin Ye went to the game room for his daily cycle. After the cycle ended, he tried using the low-level nutrient solution, and the effect was very good.

Returning to the shelter, Lin Ye began to study the Tier 3 mutated heart. Although its activity was still good, he couldn't just leave it like this.

Lin Ye was preparing to mutate a 'shell' to store the heart.

This was not difficult for Lin Ye, who had inherited the priest's mutation knowledge.

Before dinner, Lin Ye successfully completed the heart storage plan using flesh and blood plant materials.

A creature resembling a puppy limped around on the floor. Little Black curiously followed behind the puppy, occasionally biting its tail with its mouth, causing it to drag itself along.

“It's kind of cute…”

The nighttime activity was about to begin. Lin Ye fried himself a plate of egg fried rice, poured another glass of orange juice, and then opened the group chat to start eating.

“Nighttime activity, start.”

“I hope it's a station mission again today. I brought back a spirit energy firearm yesterday, but unfortunately, there aren't many bullets.”

“I just want to go to the Red Maze to pick up trash.”

“Can't it be the War Front today?”

“No, the War Front is too dangerous. You'll die from stray bullets if you're unlucky.”

“Join.”

“Great! I can pick up trash!”

“It's okay, at least I won't die. There's a chance to get shelter upgrade blueprints from opening chests.”

“Buying red keys.”

“Add one.”

“Buying special room keys.”

… …

In the last ten minutes, Lin Ye teased the brainless puppy for a while. This was the first creature he had mutated… if this could even be considered a creature.
