Does "cost" refer to the easy round trip for transporting the Spatial Weird Object?

Lin Nieran saw through it but didn't say anything. It seems that the cold weather in Wutong District is not caused by the strangeness of the Instance, but because it happens to be winter on Blue Star at this time.

However, Wutong District is usually kept at a constant temperature by Weird Object, so the Residential Zone is always warm and blooming. Over time, the people living here have almost forgotten that the original Blue Star has four seasons.

The Weird Zone in Mohe is different. There are no Constant-Temperature Weird Objects in the Weird Zone or the Danger Zone, so the seasons operate normally, and the temperature may even become more extreme under the influence of some eerie force.

As far as Lin Nieran knew, the Authorities had invested a lot of manpower and resources to deal with this special Instance in the Mohe Danger Zone, which was why they temporarily shut down the large Constant-Temperature Weird Object in the Residential Zone. Without the Constant-Temperature Weird Object, the weather in the Residential Zone would be in contact with the outside temperature.

"Maybe so. I'm not going to talk about it anymore, my face is freezing."

Back inside the shop, Lin Nieran drew the rarely used curtains to block out the wind and snow, making the room much darker.

Moonlit Night turned on the light behind him, walked to his side, and exchanged the tea that the neighbor had given to Lin Nieran for the tea she had brewed herself.

For more than two months, Lin Nieran didn't assign any tasks to the cards, letting them choose where to go and what to do. Moonlit Night returned home last night after going out, and today he was the only one at home with Lin Nieran.

"It's so cold, why doesn't Your Master simply close the shop and rest?" Moonlit Night asked, sitting beside him.

"Where can I rest? So many people are sticking to their shops. If I rest alone, wouldn't that be telling everyone something's wrong?" Lin Nieran yawned. "I feel more at ease with you here. If anyone comes, remember to wake me up and then hide well."

"Okay," Moonlit Night said with a smile.

Lin Yi scoffed disdainfully. Before, he always had to ask Lin Yi to wake him up, but now he was happy to be free since he didn't have to bother him.

Seemingly recognizing a familiar voice, Lin Nieran quietly lifted one eyelid, and upon seeing Lin Yi's displeased expression, a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"These past few days, I've seen that Wu Liang recently opened a hospital in Linjiang District, treating some strange ailments."

In Linjiang District, Wu Liang was cutting through a pile of rotten flesh with Scalpel, dissecting the damaged nerves. The patients who came for treatment screamed in agony from their hospital beds until the surgery was over, at which point they shakily walked out.

The patient managed a weak smile, "Thank you, Doctor. Wu Liang, you're truly a miracle worker."

"If only next time... they could use anesthesia, haha."

Wu Liang laughed, "What does it matter whether or not anesthesia is administered? If you can't endure it, then die. How can you get better if the lesion isn't removed?"

"That kid Modian has built a fanatical Killing Society, and he's quite influential now."

In the Weird Zone, Modian's laughter pierced the darkness as he wielded a massive Butcher's Cleaver, the blood of humans and the supernatural mingling beneath his blade.

Everything that came near him, whether human or monster, died by his blade.

A hundred meters away from him, a group of people prostrated themselves on the ground, kneeling in devout worship. Even if some were to die under Modian's blade, they would do so with relish.

"The Flower Language takes root in the Plant Weird Zone, and every now and then it makes a trip to the human world."

In the Danger Zone, the Vines of the Flower Language pierced through the human body and ripped out his heart.

The woman in front of her knelt on the ground, staring in terror at the woman whose fingers had turned into Vines. She didn't know whether she was happy that the woman had killed her husband who had lied to her, or whether she was terrified that she herself was going to die.

Flower Language stared coldly at the man's corpse, her arched eyebrows drooping. "Traitor!"

Then, looking at the bouquet of roses beside the woman, she asked, "Could I have one?"

The woman nodded repeatedly and picked out the prettiest flower for her.

The Flower Language receiving the flowers and leaving satisfied.

The woman stared at the corpse on the ground, then stopped trembling.

She thought she had found someone to spend her life with, but she never expected that this man would not only live off her but also push her out to take the fall when she was going through a crisis!

He deserved to die!

The woman clutched the remaining roses tightly, recalling the figure of Flower Language as she left, and something in her eyes slowly hardened.

"The Writer opened a Pawnshop, using Rules as the basis for pawning."

[Dear guest, what would you like to pawn today?]

The Writer sat in Wheelchair, the red mole under his eye making his face appear excessively pale. His frail body and suppressed cough made him look extremely weak.

But anyone who knows the organization's name knows how terrifying it is.

The little girl looked at the wall full of books and knew that these books were actually left behind by people who had traded with them in the past, disguised as books by the Rules. Perhaps after today, she would be one of them.

"I... I want a Rules that allows me to kill." The girl's eyes were resolute. "The Squad Leader of the Han Family in Han Shang City killed my Dad in order to steal my Dad's Weird Object. I want revenge."

[Transaction complete. Leave your hand, or enough money, as collateral.]

"The Little Cat is Wen Keke good food and drink by Wen Keke, and it often runs to various Instance to eat snacks."

"Both the Dessert Chef and Bai Yang opened a shop in the Residential Zone, right across from each other, but it's often closed and business isn't very good."

Lin Nieran looked at the person beside him. "Moonlit Night, is there anything you want to do? I can provide you with funding."

Moonlit Night lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then shook her head. "My brother and I have discussed it, and we think this kind of life is fine."

"Does Night Moon no longer want to do business?"

"We only want to complete the Master's task now."

"Good."

Two months of leisure were a relief for Lin Nieran. With the system in place, Lin Nieran was not exactly an expert on what was happening in the outside world, but he was certainly well aware of it.

Thanks to the cooperation with the Authorities and the exchange of Weird Object, Lin Nieran's Points increased rapidly.

He used some of the exchanged Weird Object and unused Items from card draws to trade for valuable, reviving Weird Object.

You can earn Points and also use the system to completely destroy these resurrected Weird Object, reducing Weird Object number on Blue Star.

Although this is only a drop in the ocean, it at least reduces some of the troubles of recovery and saves him from the predicament of being constrained by Points most of the time.

Although he didn't participate in the new Instance for the Calamity Crossing Squad, he would watch the live stream when he was interested.

The Authorities team promised the organization that all future Instance for the Calamity Crossing Squad would be streamed live.

Although it's still a random live stream, and he might not be able to receive it every time, he has the system, so he can watch it whenever he wants.

While the Calamity Crossing Squad fighting desperately in the Weird Instance, the outside world was also not peaceful.

His Vest need no introduction; they've never been low-key.
