Chapter 111 I bought a new house, want to come over and play? The house is big, you can sleep right away when you're tired.
Qin Huanyu's remodeling surgery began.
Lily of the Valley's first move caught Qin Huanyu's eye.
The gold needles she used for acupuncture were taken from her own palm.
"Spatial storage magic? Doctor Linglan, you know that too?"
Qin Huanyu was very surprised.
Spatial talent is extremely rare, and this kind of spell is very difficult to master. It is estimated that there are no more than 10 people in the entire Holy Zhou Kingdom who possess this spell, and the method of making spatial storage items has long been lost.
Within the technological innovation faction, there is another doctor who is on par with Qin Hai. He has been researching extraordinary knowledge related to space, hoping to use technological means to recreate space storage devices. Unfortunately, he has not made any breakthrough progress so far.
"It's a tattoo sealing technique. It's not as powerful as a space storage spell, but it can still make a tattoo out of a specified item and seal it inside the body when needed."
Lily of the Valley smiled and explained:
"Weren't you curious before about why I don't carry a medicine kit with me like Xiaobai? It's because I've sealed all my medical tools inside my body."
"I see... That's really impressive."
Qin Huanyu understood what Linglan meant.
Unlike spatial storage items that can store any item, this sealing technique assigns one tattoo to each item and can only store specific items.
"Do you want to?"
As Linglan spoke, she removed all of Qin Huanyu's clothes, gently pressing her fingers against her fair skin to locate the needle insertion points:
"As a tech-savvy investigator, your combat effectiveness relies heavily on equipment, right? I can use this spell on your two or three most frequently used pieces of equipment, allowing you to seal them into your body like tattoos. Pretty convenient, isn't it?"
"Dr. Lily of the Valley, you're so kind! I want it, of course I want it."
Qin Huanyu couldn't think of a reason to refuse, so she quickly agreed.
"Okay, let's discuss this in detail after your modification surgery is completed."
Linglan chuckled softly and finally began to administer acupuncture to Qin Huanyu:
"Let's make this clear first, I'm not helping you for free. This is a transaction, and you have to do something for me in return."
"No problem, as long as it doesn't violate any principles... Waaah!"
As Qin Huanyu was speaking, she suddenly bit her tongue.
The moment the golden needle pierced her body, a tingling sensation surged forth like a tidal wave, one wave after another.
Linglan continued her work, using her fingers to locate several other acupoints on Qin Huanyu's body, and then inserting the gold needles into them one by one.
The tingling sensation emanating from multiple acupoints overlapped, quickly leaving Qin Huanyu's mind almost blank, and her tongue lolling out.
About a minute later, Qin Huanyu regained consciousness and saw that Linglan had removed all the gold needles from her back, looking at her with a half-smile:
"Your body is really sensitive. The man who marries you in the future is lucky... Okay, take a closer look at your body. I have temporarily blocked your sense of pain."
"No one can marry me! If anyone were to marry, it would be me marrying someone else!"
Qin Huanyu muttered to herself as she controlled a mechanical arm to pinch a spot on her body that was originally quite vulnerable. Sure enough, it didn't hurt at all, and she could barely feel anything.
"Wow, Dr. Lily of the Valley is amazing! Her medical skills are truly worthy of being called fantasy-level!"
Nodding in satisfaction, Qin Huanyu continued:
"Keep using the clotting injections; I can't wait to properly modify my body."
"Row."
Lily of the Valley also took out the gold needles again.
. . . . .
With the help of Lily of the Valley, a embodiment of classical medical concepts, Qin Huanyu's transformation of her body went very smoothly. Surgeries that most doctors wouldn't even dare to dream of were completed.
The spine that had become fragile due to the curse cast by the bizarre, pure love god of war before his death was removed from Qin Huanyu's body and replaced with an alloy spine full of cutting-edge technology.
This alloy vertebra requires the brain's biological signals to be converted into data signals that the machine can understand for control. It might take other people a long time to adapt, but Qin Huanyu, who was already used to direct human-machine connection, had no problem. Almost as soon as Linglan used magic to heal her wound, she was already able to walk normally. It is estimated that she can resume combat training in a maximum of three days.
When replacing the alloy spine, Qin Huanyu cut open her back. After the replacement, she did not let Linglan completely heal the incision. Instead, she left a universal interface in the lower back, like a port on the back of a computer case, so that various external devices could be directly connected to the alloy spine inside her body and controlled by her brain through thought.
Qin Huanyu currently has two external equipment ideas: a single-person flight device and a weapon for combat.
However, there isn't currently any suitable technology for single-person flight devices, and Qin Huanyu plans to find a suitable new technology when she has more time. The weapons for combat, on the other hand, can be manufactured soon.
Qin Huanyu plans to first create a mechanical tail, or rather, a mechanical tentacle, for herself. In battle, it can be used to attack enemies from behind, and it can also directly connect to and infiltrate enemy networks via a data interface at its tip. In peacetime, it can be stored within her body using Suzuran's tattoo sealing technique.
Qin Huanyu had already consulted Linglan about this, and Linglan said it was no problem. She could create three tattoo seals for Qin Huanyu first; the mechanical tentacle was one of them, and the other two were the Dragon-Slaying Mace and the Arc Rifle [Jade Kirin Type 1]. If Qin Huanyu wanted to add any new equipment later, she could simply continue trading with Linglan.
Linglan's proposed terms were simple: Qin Huanyu should find a way to invite her to leave the mountains and make house calls more often, preferably for long-term treatment, so that she could live in the city for a period of time.
Not being afraid of loneliness doesn't mean liking it. After living alone in the mountains for a long time, Lily of the Valley is still very curious about the lives and entertainment of people in the city and wants to see them.
Is this really feasible?
Qin Huanyu, however, was not as optimistic as Linglan:
"The Bureau of Investigation must be monitoring you very closely, right? Do they really allow you to live in the city for such a long time?"
"It might not work for others, but I think you and I can give it a try."
Linglan chuckled and shook her head, saying meaningfully:
"Let me put it this way... Normally, if you want me to make a house call, the various review processes would take several days to complete. In the decades since I was born, I have only seen three people who can complete the review process immediately with a green light. One of them is you, and the other two are Wu Tianyi and Wu Xiqun, who are the current and next empresses of the Holy Zhou Kingdom."
"……seriously?"
Qin Huanyu's mouth gaped open:
"You mean I'm being treated almost like royalty when it comes to asking you to make house calls? But I'm not some big shot. I was even adopted from an orphanage by my dad. Apart from having some superpowers, I'm just an ordinary girl... That can't be right, can it?"
“I don’t know about that, but what I’ve said is all true… Your importance to the upper echelons of the Holy Zhou Kingdom may far exceed your own understanding and imagination.”
Lily of the Valley shrugged and then suggested:
"Why don't you submit a report to the Investigation Bureau this time? Say that your condition is a bit unstable after the modification surgery and you need me to stay by your side for a period of time to observe and treat you, and see if the Investigation Bureau will agree to let me stay."
"Okay, I'll try."
Since there were no costs or risks involved, Qin Huanyu immediately agreed.
She quickly wrote an application, the content of which was roughly the same as what Linglan had just said. She cited her unstable health as the reason and hoped that Linglan could stay and observe and treat her for a month.
The one-month deadline was actually Qin Huanyu's outrageous demand. She hadn't even considered that the Investigation Bureau would agree to such an absurd request. She had even planned how to negotiate afterward, and she would consider it a victory if she could get Linglan to stay for a week.
Unexpectedly, the Investigation Bureau was slow to respond to Qin Huanyu's application this time, taking several hours to reply. It's likely that they held a special meeting to discuss it, but in the end, they actually approved the application and allowed Linglan to stay for a whole month!
However, the Investigation Bureau also has conditions: Suzuran cannot live in the city, and if she must go to the city, she must be accompanied by someone. She is not allowed to talk to strangers, and any suspicious person who comes into contact with Suzuran must be thoroughly investigated.
The Bureau of Investigation's specific recommendation was to have Linglan stay at the Lingsu Research Institute, or for Qin Huanyu to have a spacious and relatively secluded place to live.
'Could it be that I really am an important person? The illegitimate daughter of someone in the royal family? Abandoned in an orphanage because my spouse's bloodline couldn't be made public, but actually secretly cared for and enjoying treatment comparable to a princess?'
Qin Huanyu couldn't help but let her mind wander to her background for a while before shaking her head to bring her thoughts back to reality.
'It doesn't matter anymore. No matter who my biological parents are, Dad will always be Dad, my most important family member. As for the person who abandoned me at the orphanage gate… if she really had no other choice, we could acknowledge her if given the chance. Ultimately, it's up to fate.'
Knowing that Linglan's speculation was likely true and keeping it in mind, Qin Huanyu temporarily put the matter aside and began to think about specific ways to settle Linglan.
Initially, Qin Huanyu wanted Linglan to live with her at the Lingsu Research Institute. After all, the institute was very large, with complete facilities, and living there was practically like living in an underground neighborhood.
However, after discussing it with Qin Hai, Qin Huanyu rejected the idea.
Shortly after Qin Huanyu received the report's reply, Qin Hai also received orders from his superiors that if Linglan was to stay at the Lingsu Research Institute, most of the institute's staff would be forced to take leave in order to minimize Linglan's contact with ordinary people.
It doesn't matter on ordinary days. It's only a month anyway, so it's good to give the researchers a vacation so they can have some fun.
However, Qin Huanyu had just brought back new technological ideas from the bizarre and pure love god of war. The entire research institute, from Qin Hai to ordinary researchers, was eager to get started. Now, with only a three-day mandatory leave, many people were already longing to return to the laboratory. If a month-long mandatory leave were imposed, it would definitely dampen the researchers' enthusiasm.
Therefore, Qin Huanyu did not intend to cause any trouble for the research institute and planned to find another place to house the lily of the valley.
The apartment allocated by the police station is definitely not suitable. It's a two-bedroom, one-living room, two-bathroom apartment, which isn't small for three women, but it's located in the city center and is far too noisy. The investigation bureau will definitely not agree to let Suzuran live there.
Without a doubt, buy a new house, preferably a detached villa in the suburbs.
Qin Huanyu had actually had this idea long ago, after she met Bai Ling, mainly because of a woman's competitive nature.
We're all researchers at the Bureau of Investigation, and I'm even a bit prettier. Why do you live in a detached villa while I can only live in an apartment? You're a top influencer with millions of followers, so you must make a lot of money, but is mining for money less efficient? It's just a villa; I can afford one too!
To this end, Qin Huanyu actually worked tirelessly for a week using a human-machine direct connection device, mining various blockchain virtual currencies worth approximately 600 million yuan, all of which were stored in her account. However, she later encountered various things and didn't have time to look at houses, and eventually forgot about it altogether.
Now I've just bought the house.
These days, people willing to buy houses are big clients, especially those like Qin Huanyu who plan to pay the full amount upfront. They are considered high-quality customers by real estate developers.
She didn't even leave the house; she just made a few phone calls to express her interest, and a large group of beautiful real estate agents contacted her to take her to see apartments... With their sweet voices and submissive attitudes, Qin Huanyu felt that she wouldn't be refused even if she asked them to go to a hotel with her.
Of course, Qin Huanyu could not possibly have any real feelings for the real estate agents. Many of these agents might be considered beautiful by ordinary people, but to Qin Huanyu, they were nothing special... Ever since she forcibly kissed a certain phantom thief, Qin Huanyu now looked down on ordinary women even more. Wasting time on them was less desirable than going home and admiring herself in the mirror.
So Qin Huanyu simply accompanied the saleswomen to look at houses, and even used a live stream to let Linglan participate in the selection process.
Off-plan properties are not considered. Priority will be given to existing properties that are fully furnished and ready to move in. The location should ideally be in the eastern suburbs of Baiguang City, close to Lingsu Research Institute. The property type must be a detached villa with a large yard and a basement.
After filtering according to these criteria, only one property ultimately meets all the requirements.
It is a newly developed villa project in the eastern part of the city, consisting entirely of detached villas. It is called Baibo Huafu and has a total of 35 units.
The regular units in Baibo Huafu were sold out during the pre-sale period. Now that the units have just been handed over, most owners have not yet started renovations, while a few owners have just begun renovations.
The only available property in Baibo Huafu right now is the fully furnished show flat, which can be moved into immediately. For at least the next six months, it will be the only resident in the community, which perfectly meets Linglan's need to minimize contact with strangers.
The house is a two-and-a-half-story detached villa with a ground floor area of over 310 square meters. The third floor is only half-story, with the other half being a terrace, so it is counted as half a floor. There is also a basement of over 150 square meters. The house is surrounded by a garden with a total area of over 600 square meters. The area of the basement and the area of the garden are not included in the contract.
Including the high-end decoration that comes with the model apartment, the price for the whole house after the discount is 550 million yuan for a one-time payment. It is quite expensive for a small city like Baiguang City, but Qin Huanyu only hesitated for a moment before making the payment. She only had one requirement: all the procedures had to be done quickly, preferably the transfer of ownership and obtaining the property certificate within one day.
This would be absolutely impossible for an ordinary person, but Qin Huanyu not only had money, but also had two privileged organizations behind her: the Investigation Bureau and the Research Institute. She could easily find some connections to get everything done smoothly, and in the end, she really did complete all the procedures and get the property certificate on the same day... Even the developer was amazed, as he had been developing real estate for almost 20 years and had never had such connections.
After buying the house, the next step is naturally to move in.
The house itself was already nicely decorated, but Qin Huanyu wasn't too picky. She simply replaced the bed sheets and blankets with her own, and used whatever else was available.
However, only the two and a half floors above ground are like this; Qin Huanyu plans to drastically renovate the basement. Since this is now her own house, she definitely needs a research studio at home, and the basement is just the right place.
However, there's no rush to make changes to the basement; you can stay there for a few days first and then take your time.
As the owner of the house, Qin Huanyu would naturally stay in the master bedroom on the second floor. Linglan, being a very considerate guest, chose a guest room on the first floor.
The morning after the two moved in, another person joined the villa. It was Duanmu Ling, who had rushed over from the city after receiving the news. She wanted to continue living with Qin Huanyu and wanted to take over the children's room next to the master bedroom on the second floor.
"I've already called you Aunt Yu, so what's wrong with me staying in your children's room for a bit?"
Duanmu Ling even argued vehemently about this.
However, Qin Huanyu wouldn't tolerate this little brat. After giving her a good spanking, she arranged for her to stay on the first floor as well, in another guest room separated from Linglan's room by a living room.
That evening, the fourth person who wanted to stay at the villa arrived uninvited. It was Bai Ling, who had dropped everything and driven over after receiving the news that afternoon. Her reason was that she missed her master and wanted to get some energy from him. She then grabbed her luggage and headed straight for Linglan's room.
This time, Qin Huanyu didn't refuse, but Linglan did. With a smile, she chased her pouting apprentice out and arranged for her to stay in the last guest room on the first floor... At this point, all three guest rooms on the first floor of the villa were full.
I stayed in the new villa quietly for three days, and everything seemed normal.
Bai Ling sleeps during the day and streams live at night.
Duanmu Ling spends most of her time at home, only occasionally going out on dates with her admirer.
Linglan said she wanted to observe the lives and entertainment of ordinary people, but she didn't show much interest in the noisy city. It was more like she had lived in the mountains for too long and wanted a change of environment to refresh her mood. She spent most of her time reading and chasing away Bai Ling, who wanted to stick to her. Sometimes, Qin Huanyu or Duanmu Ling would drag her to play some normal games that could pass censorship.
Qin Huanyu is the most idle. She is currently on paid leave because she has just undergone surgery and is feeling unwell. Neither the Investigation Bureau nor the Police Department will assign her any work.
But in reality, Qin Huanyu's modification surgery went quite smoothly. She was fine on the day of the surgery and even tried combat training the next day.
The alloy spine has an independent energy supply system that is different from the body's original one. Although it increased Qin Huanyu's appetite by dozens of times, it also strengthened her physique, making her strength and speed stronger, and officially surpassing the limits of ordinary people.
In terms of strength, Qin Huanyu was able to lift an 800-kilogram barbell during her self-test, and she could push a car weighing more than 1 ton while running.
In terms of speed, Qin Huanyu's record in the 100-meter dash is far behind that of world champions. She can consistently run the 100 meters in under 5 seconds, with her fastest time being only 4.1 seconds.
Her endurance has also improved. Now, as long as Qin Huanyu has enough food, she can theoretically maintain her exercise state indefinitely... Even if she is so mentally exhausted that she falls asleep, her alloy spine can still control her body to continue moving through the bones.
