Chapter 20, what?
Upon hearing this, Zhong Wan frowned slightly and asked anxiously in her mind, "What's wrong with Zai Zai? Didn't we say we'd already replenished its Yin energy?"
Yes, but for them, yin energy is like your phone's battery; even if you leave it unused, the battery will slowly drain away.
"And what about him? How does Lin Yan'an explain that?"
To ghosts, he's like a walking, all-powerful source of Yin energy; even if the ghosts deplete his Yin energy, it will automatically replenish itself.
"Uh, then he suffered for nothing just now?"
【┓(′`)┏No, the automatic replenishment isn't as fast as the consumption, so how can it be considered a waste of time?】
Zhong Wan suddenly remembered something and quickly asked, "By the way, system, will he still be able to hear our conversation this time?"
They probably can't hear it anymore.
Upon hearing this, Zhong Wan glanced at Lin Yan'an with sympathy, then quickly looked away: "You guessed right, but unfortunately there's no reward."
"What do you mean there's no reward? Why aren't you all going in? What are you all doing standing here?"
Upon hearing this, the two turned around at the same time.
Looking at Pei Xingyu, whose eyes were full of curiosity, Lin Yan'an glanced at him expressionlessly: "Noisy."
After saying that, he turned around without hesitation and stepped into the store.
"Huh? No... Uncle, what do you mean?! You're disgusted with me?"
Seeing Pei Xingyu staring in shock at Lin Yan'an's retreating figure, Zhong Wan shrugged and remained silent.
Zhong Yang calmly reached out and slapped down his raised arm: "I told you to be quiet."
After saying that, he went inside first.
Pei Xingyu, who was at the back, rolled his eyes speechlessly upon seeing this.
He then followed them inside.
But as soon as he stepped into the store, he saw that familiar dark shape and was shocked: "Wait, how come it's still here?!"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw the dark figure moving rapidly towards him again.
"Oh my god, Auntie, help me..."
Pei Xingyu shouted as he quickly ran behind Zhong Wan.
She tried her best to hide behind her petite frame, staring at the dark shadow with terrified eyes, and said, "Waaah, why is it staring at me like that?"
Zhong Wan was taken aback by what she heard. Memories of Hua Hua flashed through her mind. She looked at Hua Hua, then turned to look at Pei Xingyu behind her.
I noticed the white thing on his clothes at a glance.
Lin Yan'an obviously guessed what was going on. She reached out and pulled Pei Xingyu out from behind Zhong Wan, and calmly said, "Go change your clothes. Don't wear white."
Pei Xingyu looked shocked and confused upon hearing this. He glanced at his uncle, then at his own white tracksuit, and finally looked up at Zhong Wan without hesitation.
She nodded slowly: "Go change, listen to your uncle."
"oh."
Pei Xingyu was puzzled, but he obediently walked around the cat and quickly ran upstairs.
Even the usually calm and taciturn Zhong Yang couldn't help but ask curiously upon seeing this, "Sister, brother-in-law, what are you talking about?"
"What did Pei Xingyu say? Why can't I wear white clothes?"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Wan tilted her head slightly and asked curiously, "You...didn't you see it?"
"What do you see?"
"Look there?"
Zhong Yang looked in the direction Zhong Wan was pointing, and was extremely puzzled as he looked at the empty ground: "What are you looking at?"
Now, Zhong Wan was also puzzled: "Why can Pei Xingyu see it, but you can't?"
"ah?"
Lin Yan'an leaned leisurely against the front desk and casually said, "We'll know once he comes down and we compare them."
Zhong Wan walked to the chair and sat down. Looking at the black mist surrounding him, she couldn't help but curiously reach out her hand.
"Huh?"
Zhong Wan watched her hand pass through the mist and couldn't help but wonder in her mind, "What's going on with the system? Why can I encounter ghosts but not their yin energy?!"
Although ghosts are also composed of yin energy, they exist because of their obsessions, and you can eliminate those obsessions, which is why you can encounter them.
"What do you mean?"
[...]
If we compare yin energy to water, then yin energy imbued with obsession is like ice. Do you understand now?
Zhong Wan said thoughtfully, "So that's why I can encounter yin energy but can't grasp it, while ghosts with obsessions can?"
【Yes. 】
Zhong Wan nodded, glancing at the calligraphy brush on the table out of the corner of her eye. She reached out and picked it up, noticing the eerie aura spreading around him. She tentatively dipped the tip of the brush into it.
Zhong Yang was completely puzzled upon seeing this.
Lin Yan'an looked up and saw Zhong Yang's face full of confusion.
Seeing this, he raised an eyebrow slightly, turned around and looked at Zhong Wan's childish behavior, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Fun?"
"Tsk."
Zhong Wan rolled her eyes speechlessly upon hearing this: "What are you playing? Can't you see I'm up to something?"
"Oh? What is it?"
Lin Yan'an casually asked,
Zhong Wan was even more speechless, and couldn't help but think to herself, "Wait, is he sick in the head?"
[...bipolar disorder?]
"What?"
It's written on his medical record.
"..."
Zhong Wan hadn't noticed this at all; her hand holding the pen paused, and she hesitated for a moment.
Bipolar disorder? Mental illness?!
Zhong Wan quickly shook her head, looking at Lin Yan'an who had a calm expression in front of her, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "You..."
"Um?"
Zhong Wan quickly shook her head: "It's okay, I'm planning to draw Huahua and Zaizai, you...want to join me?"
Lin Yan'an shrugged: "If you don't have that talent, you can draw it yourself."
"Oh, okay."
Zhong Wan simply lowered her head and focused on drawing. With just a few strokes, the images of Hua Hua and Zai Zai leaped onto the paper.
With a gentle expression, Hua Hua lowered her eyes, nestled against the baby in her arms, and softly licked the cuddly little one.
Just looking at it, Zhong Wan couldn't help but feel a little melancholy. She sighed softly, bent down, picked up the basin, and lit the drawing paper.
But just as the paper burned out, a mechanical voice rang in his mind again: [Ding! Mission countdown: 24 hours.]
Zhong Wan was taken aback upon hearing this, and hurriedly asked, "System, what's going on? Why is there a countdown?"
[The ghost-drawing task is complete; the countdown to eliminating obsession has begun.]
"What?"
Zhong Wan instantly became a little angry: "What will happen if the obsession isn't eliminated by the time the time is up?"
They will be completely destroyed, and you will be unable to accept any missions for a week.
Zhong Wan roared in fury: "Why didn't you say so earlier?!"
[Host, you didn't ask...]
Hearing the system's pitiful voice, Zhong Wan gritted her teeth and continued to ask, "Is there anything else you haven't told me?"
[Hmm, there hasn't been a day between this task and your last one, so you'll enter a deep rest and recuperation mode after completing this task...]
"How long has it been asleep?"
【one day. 】
Is there anything else?
[Furthermore, after the system upgrade, the store's inventory can be replenished automatically by the system.]
[The system will cover the cost of the goods without requiring the host to spend any money; the price will be within the amount of the rewards you receive for completing the task.]
Hearing this, Zhong Wan looked at the shelves in front of her, thinking about the rewards she had received: "Are you sure you don't need to spend my money?"
【Yes. 】
After confirming it again, Zhong Wan finally calmed down.
"Shao Kaifeng's location..."
Lin Yan'an turned her head, but before she could finish speaking, she saw her looking at her with suspicion as she started burning paper.
His brows furrowed slightly as he looked at Zhong Wan with a puzzled expression, then followed her gaze.
The black and red shadow that was vaguely visible to him suddenly transformed into two cats, one large and one small.
