Lin Qiye walked to the window and gently pushed it open. The night breeze caressed his face, and he felt he could hear sounds from hundreds of meters away and smell the fragrance of the distant garden.
He tried to leap lightly, and his body easily landed on the windowsill. At night, his speed, agility, and perception all improved dramatically, as if he had become one with the darkness.
"Is this the ability of the Starry Night Dancer?" Lin Qiye murmured, looking at his hands in disbelief.
What shocked him even more was that a semi-transparent data panel suddenly appeared in his mind.
At the top is a miniature cube-shaped version of yourself, with four empty spaces next to you, and below are more grids, a row of red hearts and a row of chicken legs.
The other side of the panel also displays several buff effects: increased resistance, increased strength, increased jump height, etc.
"This is the game panel?" Lin Qiye looked at the interface in disbelief.
He tried controlling it with his mind and found that he could easily open and close it. The panel displayed various data: health, hunger, experience level, and those little squares were actually the inventory.
"So, this is the ability that the cube-shaped god gave me?" Lin Qiye muttered to himself. "Was the fact that I didn't get tired before also related to this?"
He looked up at the night sky outside the window, where countless stars twinkled. Suddenly, a bold idea popped into his head.
Lin Qiye leaped lightly from the window. To an ordinary person, this height would have caused serious injury, but he landed as lightly as a feather, without making a sound.
“Dancer of the Starry Night…” Lin Qiye murmured, feeling the power that the night bestowed upon him.
He looked up at the distant building silhouettes. The city's night view became exceptionally clear in his eyes, every detail rendered with exquisite precision.
Lin Qiye took a deep breath and then rushed out quickly. His speed was astonishing; his figure swept through the night like a black shadow.
Walls were no longer obstacles; he could climb them with ease. The distance between tall buildings was no longer a barrier; he could leap across them in an instant. The entire city seemed to have become his playground.
"Is this the power of God?" Lin Qiye stopped at the top of a tall building, looking down at the entire city.
He opened the game panel and examined it closely; the interface looked like that of a pixel game.
But for some reason, there are no beginner tutorials available, and you have to figure everything out on your own.
"Cube-like Yang Yi... Evil God Prison... Gods in the Mental Hospital..." Lin Qiye pondered these new pieces of information, "Why are all of these appearing in my dreams? What does this mean?"
The night breeze ruffled his hair, and starlight bathed him. Lin Qiye felt an unprecedented sense of freedom and power.
“I have to figure this out no matter what.” He clenched his fist. “Now that I’ve gotten into the mental hospital, next time I’m going to explore more rooms and learn more about the secrets of the gods.”
Lin Qiye looked up at the moon, Michael's abode. He couldn't help but recall the power of the divine battle in the sky.
"I also need to keep gaining power to protect my aunt and cousin!"
Then Lin Qiye leaped into the night, disappearing once more. His Starry Night Dancer abilities allowed him to move with ease in the darkness, and he decided to make the most of this night to test the limits of his skills.
Chapter 230 Ability Test and the Masked King
Lin Qiye stood by the window, his fingers tracing the glass.
For several nights in a row, he earnestly experienced the power of the Starry Night Dancer. That feeling of merging into the darkness was like water merging into the sea—natural and comfortable.
At night, he seemed to transform into a different state.
During the day, the buff icon on the MC panel will disappear, but even so, his basic physical attributes are still far beyond those of ordinary people.
For him, physical education competitions among teenage boys were child's play.
When night falls, the buff icon on the panel reappears, and Lin Qiye can once again transform into a spirit of the night.
What shocked him most was the inventory function in the MC panel.
Lin Qiye reached out towards the textbook on the table, the idea of adding it to his inventory flashing through his mind. The textbook instantly turned into a ball of light and disappeared into his palm, while a pixelated book icon appeared in his inventory.
"That's incredible!"
He then took out a bag of apples that his aunt had just bought and tried to put it in his inventory. The entire bag of apples disappeared instantly, turning into a small red icon in the inventory display showing the number "8".
Lin Qiye looked around his room, putting each item into his inventory: a desk lamp, a watch, clothes, a pencil case... Seeing the once cluttered room become empty, he realized for the first time how convenient this unscientific storage ability was.
What surprised him even more was that similar items could stack automatically. He collected a bunch of pebbles and found that up to 64 could be stacked.
He then examined the four small squares in the upper right corner of the panel. These squares seemed to have a special purpose. Lin Qiye tried putting the four small stones he had picked up into the squares, and the stones immediately fused together, turning into a larger "round stone".
"There's a synthesis system too?"
He excitedly tried other combinations: sticks and stones, paper and sticks, but most attempts ended in failure. After all, there were no tutorials, and he had to figure it out on his own.
Finally, Lin Qiye also studied the most important system: the life value system. What exactly did those rows of red hearts represent?
A bold idea formed in his mind. He picked up a kitchen knife and lightly sliced his arm.
There was no pain, no bleeding, only that half of a red heart on the panel was missing. What was astonishing was that the missing half of the red heart returned to its original state within a second.
"Am I practically immortal now?"
He then tested the hunger system—the row of chicken drumsticks.
When the chicken leg bar was full, Lin Qiye discovered that not only could he not eat anything, but he also gained an effect similar to "full of energy." Running and jumping became faster, and his stamina seemed inexhaustible.
Conversely, when the chicken leg value drops to less than three bars, a strong feeling of hunger will strike, and his movements will become sluggish and weak.
This unusual change in appetite caught the attention of her aunt.
"Your appetite has gotten so big lately, are you still growing?" Auntie asked in surprise as Lin Qiye finished off his third bowl of rice.
"Well, I might be under a lot of academic pressure lately, and my body is still developing," Lin Qiye made up an excuse to get by.
Another thing troubling Lin Qiye was Zhao Kongcheng's entanglement. That night watchman would wait at the school gate almost every day after school, trying to persuade Lin Qiye to join the night watchman like a salesman.
"The Night's Watch are heroes who protect our country, did you know that?"
“Our benefits are very generous, and the monthly allowance is enough for you and your aunt to live a good life.”
"And you can protect the people of this city and become a hero..."
From lofty ideals to practical benefits, Zhao Kongcheng's arguments were varied and numerous. Lin Qiye was annoyed by them, but he couldn't help but admire the other party's unwavering determination to achieve his goal.
After school today, a light drizzle began to fall.
Lin Qiye walked out of the school gate, opened his umbrella, and was surprised to find that Zhao Kongcheng hadn't come. For a moment, he was secretly delighted.
"Finally, a day of peace and quiet."
But then he thought, given Zhao Kongcheng's persistent nature, this little drizzle shouldn't have made him back down. A sense of unease quietly began to grow within him.
"That's strange, could something have happened to him?"
"Hmm, maybe he had something to do today!"
As the rain intensified, Lin Qiye quickened his pace to return home.
After dinner, Lin Qiye returned to his room. The rain outside the window continued to fall, the raindrops tapping on the glass with a crisp sound.
He turned on the desk lamp, took out his textbook, and prepared to preview tomorrow's lessons. The rain pattered softly, and the room was warm and quiet.
Suddenly, a faint flapping sound came from the window. Lin Qiye looked up and saw a small, jet-black bat slip in through the half-open window and land steadily on his desk.
The bat's wet wings were still dripping water, and its small red eyes were staring intently at Lin Qiye.
"Hmm? Little one, what brings you here?"
Lin Qiye's heart stirred. The Starry Night Dancer's ability allowed him to communicate with nocturnal animals, and this was one of the small animals he had been communicating with these past few days.
He focused his mind, trying to establish a connection with the bat through his consciousness.
Then, a vague but clear thought entered his mind.
The gist of it is, "Danger... A ferocious and powerful monster is heading towards the old town, and its path will pass right by this house."
Lin Qiye suddenly stood up, looking at the bat in surprise: "What monster?"
The bat's thoughts came again: "It's a terrifying thing. It exudes an aura that terrifies all living things. I dare not approach it at all."
Lin Qiye frowned and quickly walked to the window. The streets were deserted in the rain, and the streetlights appeared blurry and distant in the rain.
How long will it take to arrive?
"Very fast, extremely fast. It moves at an astonishing speed. I had to fly at full speed to get here in advance to warn you."
The bat shook its wings, as if to emphasize the urgency of the situation.
Lin Qiye's heart raced. His aunt and cousin were in the next room; if the powerful monster really did pass by, they would be in danger.
He quickly opened the Minecraft panel to check his equipment and status. Apart from everyday items, there were no weapons available for combat in his inventory.
"No, I have to think of something."
Lin Qiye quickly opened the wardrobe and took out a baseball bat from the bottom shelf. He had found it by chance some time ago, originally intending it as a self-defense tool, but now it seemed he had to put it to use.
"What are you planning to do?" the bat wondered.
"Protect my family," Lin Qiye replied simply.
He opened the window, and rain immediately soaked his face. Using the abilities of the Starry Night Dancer, Lin Qiye leaped out of the window and landed lightly on the wet ground.
In the night rain, his senses were slightly weakened, but still much sharper than the average person. He could sense an unusual fluctuation coming from afar, something moving rapidly there.
Without hesitation, Lin Qiye ran in that direction. He had to stop the monster before it reached his home. Rain lashed his face, blurring his vision, but he continued his resolute charge forward.
At that moment, he had only one thought—no matter the cost, he had to protect his aunt and cousin's safety.
