In the moment Nyx uttered those words, a virtual panel appeared in Lin Qiye's eyes out of thin air.
"
Nyx's Treatment Progress: 3%
Reward conditions met. Initiating random extraction of Nyx's divine abilities...
"
Subsequently, a virtual lottery wheel manifested and began to spin rapidly!
Lin Qiye could see that the wheel was divided into at least twenty segments, each with roughly equal areas, meaning the probability of extracting these divine abilities was the same.
"Night descends, dimming eyes, falling stars, starburst technique, nocturnal shimmer, night's companion, extraordinary fertility..."
As the wheel spun, the abilities listed overwhelmed Lin Qiye, but he couldn't shake the feeling that something strange had infiltrated them...
Extraordinary fertility? What on earth was that? Did it qualify as a divine ability? If he obtained this ability, would he be able to have a bunch of divine offspring without needing a spouse? Well, that didn't sound too bad...
Meanwhile, Lin Qiye noticed that in one corner of the wheel, there was a narrow, elongated black segment, occupying about 1% of the total area.
The name of this divine ability was "Unknown."
Unknown? What did that mean?
However, that wasn't important. Lin Qiye believed that with his luck, he probably wouldn't draw the "Unknown" even after a thousand attempts.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Qiye stared fixedly at the spinning wheel, his mind focused, and the wheel gradually slowed down!
The pointer glided over various abilities, ultimately coming to a stop on a specific segment.
"Starry Night Dancer..." Lin Qiye sighed helplessly upon seeing these words.
Judging by the name, this ability seemed lower-tier compared to techniques like Starburst and Falling Stars. Nevertheless, at least it wasn't extraordinary fertility.
This luck truly befits me.
The moment the pointer stopped, the spinning wheel before Lin Qiye gradually dissipated, leaving only the four words "Starry Night Dancer" hanging quietly in the air, their color growing deeper.
Lin Qiye reached out and grasped them!
Subsequently, those four words transformed into a black light, flowing into Lin Qiye's body!
Lin Qiye felt a mysterious energy rapidly reshaping his body, as if his entire being, from soul to flesh, was being cleansed, an unusually comfortable sensation enveloping him!
This feeling was truly extraordinary.
The state lasted for about five seconds, and when it completely dissipated, Lin Qiye distinctly felt that his body had undergone a transformation.
Before his eyes, several additional lines of text slowly appeared.
"
Starry Night Dancer:
In the darkness, your speed, strength, endurance, and recovery abilities are all five times greater than usual;
In the darkness, your presence is less likely to be detected;
In the darkness, your intimidation factor on other creatures is stronger;
You gain the ability to communicate with other nocturnal animals.
"
Seeing this, Lin Qiye couldn't help but inhale sharply!
This seemingly low-profile ability appeared exceptionally formidable... Leaving aside the fact that his speed, strength, and endurance were all boosted fivefold, making him a potential Guinness World Record contender for nighttime triathlons even with his average physical condition, the other bonuses were extraordinary!
This was only considering his ordinary physical condition. If he underwent systematic training, Lin Qiye dared not imagine how much stronger he could become.
Not to mention the stealth and communication abilities with nocturnal animals, which already surpassed the limits of human capabilities.
Suppressing his excitement, Lin Qiye took a deep breath.
He indeed had no intention of joining the Night Watchers, nor did he want to engage in battles with mythical creatures. However, as a high school student, it was impossible not to have aspirations for supernatural powers.
Moreover, only by becoming stronger could he better protect his family.
Lin Qiye finally made up his mind, shifting his gaze to Nyx in front of him.
At this moment, Nyx was tenderly looking at him, gently stroking his hair while murmuring, "Thanatos, where have you been for these three thousand years? Do you know how much I've missed you..."
Lin Qiye silently sat there, his gaze towards Nyx complex.
Just as he had guessed, for the current Nyx, who couldn't distinguish between her children and vases, how could she possibly recognize Lin Qiye as her child? Afflicted by longing, she had fantasized everything around her as her offspring, but those bottles and jars were, after all, not real people and wouldn't respond to Nyx.
Therefore, when a person who breathed, moved, and called her mother like Lin Qiye appeared, Nyx seemed to come alive, finally finding her spiritual solace!
This was the first step to open her heart, and it was also the reason the treatment progress directly jumped to 3%.
"Thanatos, do you know how much your little brother misses you? Give him a hug quickly," Nyx said with a smile, holding a vase in her hands and lifting it towards Lin Qiye.
Lin Qiye: ...
Helpless, Lin Qiye could only take the vase, pretending to caress it.
At this moment, his peripheral vision caught sight of the other "brothers and sisters" in Nyx's arms...
He was shaken to the core!
In Nyx's embrace were several bottles with labels attached, each of a different color.
On one of the labels, Lin Qiye clearly saw a line of large characters.
—Flupentixol (Divine Use).
Lin Qiye stared at it, his mouth opening wider and wider...
Flupentixol? Why did this name sound so familiar?
Wasn't this one of the medications listed by the daytime psychiatrist in the drug list? And it even had two additional words at the end... Divine Use?
In this instant, Lin Qiye seemed to recall something, and his entire being suddenly became excited!
He handed the vase in his hand to Nyx and hurriedly said, "I'll be right back!"
Then, like a gust of wind, he climbed to the second floor of the psychiatric hospital and found a room at the end of the stairs.
The medication storage room.
The door to the room was open, and Nyx should have been in there before, as evidenced by the many "brothers and sisters" she brought out.
Lin Qiye walked in briskly, searched for a while, and finally stopped in front of a massive metal cabinet, his eyes gleaming brighter.
Before him lay an entire wall of medications!
The varieties were diverse, and the vast majority were for psychiatric treatment, including the Flupentixol and Chlorpromazine he had just seen, as well as a large number of tranquilizers.
Behind these medications were two words: "Divine Use."
A smile appeared at the corners of Lin Qiye's mouth. He should have thought of this earlier! This was a psychiatric hospital for treating gods, so naturally, there would be a room for storing medications, and the medications inside would be specially designed for divine physiques!
Although he couldn't bring real-world medications into the hospital, he could find corresponding medications here that would affect gods!
With this realization, things seemed to have become much simpler.
Lin Qiye selected a few bottles from the list the daytime doctor had given him, ran downstairs, and returned to Nyx's side.
"This one, take two pills once a day... and
this one, take one pill three times a day... Remember to take them!"
Nyx stared at Lin Qiye attentively, as if his face was a blooming flower, apparently not hearing Lin Qiye's words at all.
"Ah... forget it. I'll come to feed you the medicine every day." Lin Qiye sighed helplessly at Nyx's reaction.
Expecting someone with severe mental illness to remember to take their medicine was indeed asking too much.
Upon hearing Lin Qiye's words, Nyx's face instantly blossomed into a smile.
She laughed happily.
