In the moment when Nyx uttered those words, a virtual panel materialized in Lin Qiyue's eyes.
"Nyx's Treatment Progress: 3%
Reward conditions met, begin randomly drawing Nyx's divine abilities..."
Following this, a virtual lottery wheel appeared, spinning rapidly! Lin Qiyue could see that the wheel was divided into at least twenty sectors, each with approximately the same area. This implied that the probability of drawing any of these divine abilities was equal.
"Nightfall Descends, Dim Eyes of Gloom, Falling Stars, Starburst Art, Nocturnal Flicker, Night's Companions, Extraordinary Fertility..."
As the wheel spun, Lin Qiyue's eyes were dazzled by the array of abilities. However, he couldn't shake off the feeling that something strange had infiltrated the mix.
What in the world was "Extraordinary Fertility"? Could that really be considered a divine ability? Perhaps, with this power, he wouldn't need to find a wife – he could produce a plethora of divine offspring on his own?
Meanwhile, Lin Qiyue noticed in one corner of the wheel a slim, black segment, occupying about 1% of the total area. The name of this divine ability was "Unknown."
What did "Unknown" mean? It didn't matter; Lin Qiyue believed that, with his luck, he probably wouldn't draw that "Unknown" even if he tried a thousand times.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Qiyue fixed his gaze on the spinning wheel. With a single thought, he slowed down the rotation.
The pointer glided over various abilities until it eventually settled on one.
"Starry Night Dancer..." Lin Qiyue sighed helplessly when he saw these words.
Judging by the name, this ability seemed inferior to skills like Starburst Art and Falling Stars, but at least it wasn't Extraordinary Fertility.
His luck was truly something.
As the pointer came to a halt, the spinning wheel gradually dissipated, leaving only the words "Starry Night Dancer" suspended in the air, growing deeper in color.
Lin Qiyue extended his hand and grasped the words! Subsequently, those four words transformed into a black light, flowing into Lin Qiyue's body.
He felt a mysterious energy rapidly transforming his entire being, from soul to flesh, as if he were undergoing a profound purification. The sensation was extraordinarily comfortable.
This peculiar feeling persisted for about five seconds, and once it completely dissipated, Lin Qiyue distinctly sensed that he had changed.
Before him, several lines of small text slowly emerged.
"Starry Night Dancer:
- In the dark night, your speed, strength, endurance, and recovery abilities are all five times greater than usual.
- In the dark night, your presence is challenging to perceive.
- In the dark night, your intimidation toward other creatures is enhanced.
- You gain the ability to communicate with other nocturnal animals."
Upon reading this, Lin Qiyue couldn't help but inhale sharply!
This seemingly low-profile ability appeared to be exceptionally formidable. Leaving aside the enhancements in speed, strength, and endurance, which were five times the normal, just these attributes alone could push his body to approach human limits.
And this was only considering his ordinary physical condition. Lin Qiyue couldn't fathom the extent of his growth after systematic training.
Not to mention the later abilities like stealth and communication with nocturnal animals – these were already beyond the scope of human capabilities.
Suppressing his inner excitement, Lin Qiyue took a deep breath. While he had no intention of joining the Night Watchers or engaging in battles with mythical creatures, he couldn't deny his fascination with supernatural powers.
Furthermore, strengthening himself was the key to better protecting his family.
Finally, Lin Qiyue decisively shifted his gaze to Nyx.
At this moment, Nyx was gently looking at him, tenderly stroking his hair while murmuring, "Danaus, where have you been for these three thousand years? Do you know how much I missed you..."
Silently sitting there, Lin Qiyue gazed at Nyx with complex emotions in his eyes.
Just as he had guessed, for the current Nyx, who could no longer distinguish between her children and the vases, how could she recognize that Lin Qiyue wasn't her offspring?
Consumed by her longing, she had deluded everything around her into her children. However, those vases were not real people and couldn't respond to Nyx.
So, when a living person like Lin Qiyue appeared, who could breathe, move, and call her "mother," Nyx came alive again, finally finding her spiritual anchor!
This marked the first step to opening her heart and directly resulted in the jump in the treatment progress to 3%.
"Danaus, do you know how much your younger brother misses you? Come, give him a hug." Nyx smiled, lifting the vase in her hands toward Lin Qiyue.
Lin Qiyue: ...
Helplessly, Lin Qiyue could only take the vase, pretending to caress it.
At that moment, his peripheral vision caught sight of the vases in Nyx's embrace, each bearing a label and sporting different colors.
And on one of the labels, Lin Qiyue clearly read a bold line: "Flupentixol (Divine)."
Lin Qiyue stared at it, his mouth widening...
Flupentixol? Why did that name sound so familiar?
Wasn't this the medication from the list that the psychiatrist had given him during the day? And there were two additional words at the end... Divine Use?
In an instant, Lin Qiyue seemed to have realized something, his excitement suddenly surging!
He handed the vase to Nyx and hastily said, "I'll be right back!"
Then, like a gust of wind, he climbed to the second floor of the mental hospital, reaching a room at the end of the stairs.
The medication storage room.
The door to the room was open, and Nyx must have been inside earlier, taking away so many of her "siblings."
Lin Qiyue hurriedly entered, scanning the room. Finally, he stopped in front of a massive metal cabinet, his eyes shining brightly.
Before him lay an entire wall of medication!
The varieties were numerous, with the majority designed for mental illness treatment, including Flupentixol, Chlorpromazine, and a plethora of tranquilizers.
Behind these medications, two words were added: "Divine Use."
A smile played across Lin Qiyue's lips; he should have thought of this earlier! This was a mental hospital for the treatment of gods. Since it was a hospital, there must be a room for storing medications. Moreover, the medications inside were specially tailored for divine constitutions!
Although he couldn
't bring the medications from the real world into the hospital, he could find corresponding medications here, those affecting gods!
With this, things seemed to have become much simpler.
Lin Qiyue selected a few bottles of the medications listed by the daytime doctor, then hurried downstairs to Nyx.
"This one is taken once a day, two pills each time... and this one, three times a day, one pill each time... Remember to take them!"
Nyx attentively watched Lin Qiyue, as if his face was blooming like a flower. It seemed she hadn't heard Lin Qiyue's words at all.
"Ah... well, I'll come and feed you the medicine every day." Lin Qiyue, seeing Nyx's reaction, sighed helplessly.
Relying on someone suffering from severe mental illness to remember to take medication on their own was indeed asking for too much.
Upon hearing Lin Qiyue's words, Nyx's face immediately broke into a joyful smile.
She laughed happily, as if Lin Qiyue's face were the most beautiful thing in the world.
In the moment when Nyx uttered those words, a virtual panel materialized in Lin Qiyue's eyes.
