Cheng Shuang remembered something and quickly handed the elevator operator's metal rod to Liu Juan. "Sister Juan, see if you can use it? I had forgotten about this thing before you were fully assimilated."

Liu Juan waved her hand, her smile widening. "It works. This thing has a special force that can smash the skull of a plastic mannequin."

"Wow!" Cheng Shuang exclaimed, "So, we can 'kill' the homeless people here?"

"Mmm!"

Everyone's skills have improved, but the extent of the improvement is only vaguely synchronized among them. To get a specific update, they need to return to the rest station to synchronize.

Taking advantage of the moment, Cheng Shuang told everyone that she had found a return ticket.

"So the return ticket is likely in the hands of some plastic employee or NPC?" Sun Han stroked his slightly stubbled chin and looked at Liu Juan. "You can go to the plastic coach, try giving it something, and wait for its return gift."

Although Liu Juan felt that there should be no deception or exploitation in matters of the heart, she also believed that one should not be too rigid in thinking. When it comes to matters of life and death, it's best to be open-minded.

Moreover, she will carefully choose gifts.

"Looks like we'll have to keep playing some games!" Du Lanshan rubbed his hands together. "I've rested well, though. My skills should be back to normal in four hours."

"Let's go check out the logistics department of the shopping mall. If we can get in, great; if not, let's not force it for now," Du Lushui said.

After calming down, the group took turns showering for five minutes at a time, with the ladies given priority as they had long hair and needed to take care of their skin. The sooner they showered, the more at ease they felt.

Cheng Shuang smelled wonderful after washing up. After leaving the bathroom, Liu Juan pulled her into the inner room. "Come on, let me put some lotion on you. You can't relax your pursuit of beauty just because you're young."

The little girl sat obediently on the bed, looking pleased. Liu Juan applied lotion to her, Luo An dried her hair, and she fiddled with her second newly acquired disposable card.

The card reads: "[Unforgettable Song: There's always that one unforgettable song that reminds you of the person in it. Sung by a legendary singer, this unforgettable song might bring unexpected results—is it a precious piece of jewelry given to you by someone you once broke? A lost keepsake? Or an irreversible feeling? Of course, it could also be a rare card you've used."

Note: When people or items are recovered, they will always have minor flaws, after all, they are not the original products.

Cheng Shuang pursed her lips and, upon seeing the last sentence, quickly dismissed a certain obsession, so much so that she didn't even notice that Liu Juan had stopped moving in a daze when she inadvertently glanced at the card's instructions.

In the end, Cheng Shuang retrieved the 'Blessing of the God of Aretec' that she had already used. The main content remained the same, but some additional explanations were added.

[The Blessing of the God of Areteke: The God of Areteke is the deity of the realm of love and beauty...]

You should know that the Blessing of the God of Aretek is a valuable card for increasing the Guardian's skill level (primarily targeting mental power), but you should also consider the compatibility between your overall stats and mental power. A significant difference can easily lead to damage. A healthy body is essential to support strong mental power. Friendly reminder: your physical strength and power should be at least one-third of your mental power.

Note: If you rashly activate the blessing of the god Aretec, you will become synonymous with frailty and yandere, and may even fall into a deep, eternal sleep.

Cheng Shuang... Cheng Shuang temporarily put the card away at the bottom of the box. She didn't want to cough every three steps and faint every five steps!

The little girl was very averse to that sickly state.

Having a good mindset doesn't mean you want to experience the helplessness you felt before when you couldn't run freely in the sunshine.

With time running out, the group ate bread and desserts as they walked, first heading to the first floor of the office building to check out the distribution map of the various companies.

The logistics and administration departments of the Wanwuda Shopping Center are located on the first and second floors.

Just as they were about to press the elevator button, a plastic security guard appeared out of nowhere. Perhaps sensing that they had extra hourly room vouchers, he kindly advised them, "This elevator is not open to the public; it's only for office building employees. If you're going to the tenth floor, you can take another one, which goes directly to the hotel apartments."

After saying that, it stepped aside and tilted its head to 'watch' them.

Clearly, the plastic security guard refused to leave to prevent the six people from wandering around aimlessly.

"Thanks for the reminder!" Sun Han said with a smile. He took out cigarettes and a lighter from his pocket and offered one to everyone except Cheng Shuang. Then, as if remembering something, he asked the security guard with a smile, "Want one, bro?"

The plastic security guard moved his head, his 'gaze' landing on the cigarette pack. "Sir, smoking is not allowed in public places."

"Shall we go to the hallway or the smoking room?" Du Lanshan asked, a cigarette dangling from his lips, unlit. "I'm craving a cigarette! Brother, why don't you come with us and rest for a bit? Don't worry, we'll all go together, no one will sneak into the elevator."

Cheng Shuang pouted deliberately, "Children shouldn't be exposed to secondhand smoke!"

"Alright, listen to me!" Du Lushu scolded sternly. "You wait at the entrance of the building." After saying that, he and Du Lanshan escorted the security guard, who no longer refused, and walked into the building.

Sun Han chimed in every now and then, and before long, the three men and the plastic security guard were chatting away.

Cheng Shuang, Liu Juan, and Du Jun walked at the back. Du Jun was initially reluctant to join them, but after entering the building, the security guard turned around and directly invited, "Sir, come and have a chat with us!"

It was on guard against Du Jun, afraid that he would wander around when it wasn't looking, and completely ignored Liu Juan. Cheng Shuang, on the other hand, took advantage of being younger and was stared at by it several times. In the end, she didn't say anything and closed the door herself after Du Jun entered the building.

Cheng Shuang and Liu Juan exchanged a glance and then quietly ran towards the corridor indicated by the first-floor sign. The first-floor lobby was too large, so the Wanwuda Shopping Center only had two internal departments: the customer service department and the market management department.

Standing in the dimly lit corridor, Liu Juan silently said to Cheng Shuang, "Splitting up?"

Cheng Shuang nodded and tried gently pushing the wooden door of the customer service department. The door was open, indicating that someone was in the office area.

Liu Juan encountered the same problem. The two of them, without prior arrangement, one carried out a zombie-like creature, and the other raised a metal rod and cautiously knocked on the door.

"Please come in." This was the response from the customer service department's office area.

The market management department did not respond, and the door quietly opened a crack.

Liu Juan thought for a moment, then temporarily abandoned the marketing department, quickened her pace to Cheng Shuang's side, pushed open the door for her, and looked at the plastic female employees in the huge office.

Only one desk lamp was lit on its desk, leaving the rest of the corner pitch black. The plastic-textured surface appeared even paler and colder under the dim light.

The plastic female employee looked up from her desk, her face directly facing them, but Cheng Shuang keenly sensed that it was actually only looking at her.

"Is there something you need?"

Liu Juan squeezed Cheng Shuang's hand and said in the unique tone of a plastic doll, "I found a lost child. I came here to see if I could find her parents!"
