Chapter 19 - Chapter 19: The Dancer of Starry Nights

The moment Nyx spoke those words, a virtual panel appeared in front of Lin Qiye's eyes.

**Nyx's Treatment Progress: 3%**

**Conditions met for reward acquisition, beginning random selection of Nyx's divine abilities...**

Next, a virtual spinning wheel appeared, rapidly rotating!

Lin Qiye could see that the wheel was divided into over twenty sections, each of roughly equal size. This meant the probability of drawing each divine ability was about the same.

"Nightfall, Eye of Dusk, Falling Stars, Starbreak Technique, Night Flicker, Black Night Kin, Supernatural Fertility..." 

The abilities spinning on the wheel dazzled Lin Qiye, but he couldn't shake the feeling that something strange was mixed in there...

Supernatural Fertility? What kind of divine ability is that?! 

If I draw this one, does that mean I won't need to find a wife, and can just create a bunch of divine children myself?

Hmm... Actually, that doesn't sound too bad...

At the same time, Lin Qiye noticed a narrow black section in one corner of the wheel, unlike the others. It took up only about 1% of the total area.

This divine ability was labeled "Unknown."

Unknown? What does that mean?

But that wasn't important. Lin Qiye was confident that, with his luck, even if he spun a thousand times, he'd never land on that "Unknown" section.

He took a deep breath, fixing his gaze on the wheel. With a single thought, it began to slow down!

The pointer passed over one ability after another, before finally coming to a stop.

"Starry Night Dancer..." Lin Qiye saw the name and sighed helplessly.

Based on the name, this ability seemed far less impressive than Starbreak Technique or Falling Stars, but at least it wasn't Supernatural Fertility.

Such is my luck.

As the pointer stopped, the spinning wheel gradually faded, leaving only the words "Starry Night Dancer" hanging in the air, their color deepening.

Lin Qiye extended his hand and grasped the words!

Immediately, the four characters transformed into a streak of black light and surged into Lin Qiye's body!

A mysterious energy rapidly flowed through him, transforming both his body and soul. The sensation was incredibly soothing, as if he was being purified from the inside out.

This feeling was truly strange.

The sensation lasted for about five seconds, and when it faded, Lin Qiye could clearly feel that something about his body had changed.

A few more lines of small text appeared before his eyes:

---

**Starry Night Dancer:**

- In the darkness, your speed, strength, endurance, and recovery are five times greater than normal;

- In the darkness, your presence becomes harder to detect;

- In the darkness, your intimidating presence increases;

- You now have the ability to communicate with other nocturnal creatures.

---

Lin Qiye couldn't help but gasp in surprise!

This ability, which seemed unimpressive at first glance, actually seemed incredibly powerful... Just the fivefold boost to speed, strength, and endurance alone was enough to make him nearly unstoppable! 

Even with his relatively average physical capabilities, if he participated in something like a triathlon at night, he would definitely break world records!

The fivefold enhancement would push his body to the limits of human potential!

And that's just with his current ordinary physique. If he underwent systematic training, Lin Qiye couldn't even imagine how far he could go.

Not to mention the later abilities, like stealth and the power to communicate with nocturnal creatures. These abilities were already far beyond human limits.

Lin Qiye suppressed his excitement and took a deep breath.

He didn't have any intention of joining the Night Watchmen, nor did he want to fight those mythological creatures, but as a high school student, it was impossible for him not to feel some longing for supernatural powers.

Besides, becoming stronger would allow him to better protect his family.

Lin Qiye finally calmed himself and turned his gaze back to Nyx.

At this moment, Nyx was gazing at him tenderly, gently stroking his hair, mumbling to herself: "Thanatos, where have you been all these three thousand years? Do you know how much I've missed you...?"

Lin Qiye silently sat there, his gaze toward Nyx filled with complexity.

As he had guessed, Nyx couldn't even distinguish between her children and the vases in her hands. How could she possibly recognize that Lin Qiye wasn't her child?

Consumed by longing, she had turned everything around her into a fantasy of her children, but those bottles and jars were, after all, not real people. They couldn't respond to her.

So when Lin Qiye, someone who could breathe, move, and even call her "mother," appeared, it was as if Nyx had come back to life, finally finding her emotional anchor!

This was the first step to opening her heart, and the reason her treatment progress had jumped to 3%.

"Thanatos, do you know how much your little brother misses you? Hurry and hug him." Nyx smiled, lifting the vase she was holding toward Lin Qiye.

Lin Qiye: ...

Reluctantly, Lin Qiye took the vase from Nyx and began to stroke it, pretending to care for it.

At that moment, his peripheral vision caught sight of something in Nyx's arms. His body tensed!

In Nyx's embrace, there were several bottles and jars with labels of various colors.

One of the labels caught his eye. The words were large and clear:

— **Fluphenazine (Divine Use)**

Lin Qiye's gaze froze, his mouth opening wider in disbelief...

Fluphenazine? Why does that name sound so familiar?

Wasn't this the same medication from the list the psychiatrist gave him earlier today? And the words "Divine Use" at the end...?

In that instant, something clicked in Lin Qiye's mind, and he suddenly became excited!

He quickly handed the vase back to Nyx and rushed out, speaking in a hurry, "I'll be back in a moment!"

With the speed of a gust of wind, he scrambled up to the second floor of the psychiatric hospital and found the room at the end of the hallway.

The **pharmacy storage room**.

The door was open. Nyx must have been here earlier, otherwise, she wouldn't have taken so many "siblings" with her.

Lin Qiye hurried inside, scanning the room until he stopped in front of a large metal cabinet. His eyes lit up with renewed hope.

Before him was an entire wall of medications!

The medications were diverse, most of them used for psychiatric treatment, including the Fluphenazine and Chlorpromazine he had seen earlier, as well as a variety of sedatives.

All of these medications had the words "Divine Use" added at the end.

A smile slowly spread across Lin Qiye's face. He should have figured this out sooner! This was a psychiatric hospital for gods. Since it was a hospital, it made sense that there would be a storage room for medications specifically designed for the divine!

He couldn't bring earthly medicines into the hospital, but here, he could find equivalent divine-specific drugs!

Things were suddenly starting to seem much simpler.

Lin Qiye quickly selected a few of the medications listed by the doctor earlier, ran downstairs, and returned to Nyx's side.

"Here, this one is for once a day, two pills each time... and this one, three times a day, one pill each time... Don't forget to take them!"

Nyx was intently focused on Lin Qiye, as if there were flowers blooming on his face, seemingly oblivious to his words.

*sigh*... Fine, I'll just feed you every day, I guess, Lin Qiye thought, helplessly.

Expecting someone with severe mental illness to remember to take their medication was asking a bit much.

Upon hearing this, Nyx's face suddenly lit up with a smile.

She smiled so brightly.
