X-ray Glasses?
As Qingque left, the hustle and bustle gradually subsided, and the group stood in the grand lobby of the guesthouse, where the atmosphere became somewhat quiet.
Welt adjusted his glasses, his gaze sweeping over the weariness on everyone's faces, before breaking the silence with his words.
"You've all had a long journey today, everyone should go back to your rooms and rest early. We'll discuss the specific action plan tomorrow."
"Wow, finally I can rest!" March 7th stretched dramatically, bending backward in a soft arc. "Even though I didn't do anything, I'm still exhausted."
She complained, but her eyes sparkled, clearly still very interested in this lively and charming Xianzhou cave.
Xing didn't speak; she was standing to the side, her gaze fixed on a trash can that was about half her height. To be honest, even the trash cans in this upscale hotel were more attractive than those outside; some even had a layer of gold dust on the outside, making them look exceptionally luxurious.
Xing stared at the trash can, his gaze gradually turning dangerous.
Can this thing be flipped? It looks way more sophisticated than Belobog's trash can.
Welt noticed her gaze and followed it, feeling a strange sense of familiarity about the scene.
Before Xing could act, he interrupted his thoughts, saying, "Xing, tone it down. This is a place where the Luofu government receives distinguished guests. Don't start thinking about rummaging through the trash cans as soon as you arrive!"
Xing nodded in agreement, then turned her gaze away with some regret.
"It's definitely time to rest," Bai Luoming casually agreed. "We might have to deal with some complicated situations tomorrow."
No sooner had he finished speaking than March 7th came over and nudged him lightly with his elbow.
"Hey, Luo Ming," she lowered her voice, as if sharing a secret, "Wait a minute... how about we go for a stroll in Aurum Alley? I just saw so much delicious food!"
Seeing the expectant look in her eyes, Bai Luoming shook his head.
"Let's call it a day, I'm a bit tired," he politely declined. "Let's talk about it tomorrow."
"Oh... okay." The light in March 7th's eyes dimmed for a moment, but quickly brightened again. She nodded vigorously and waved her hand casually, "Alright! I'll go back to my room first. You should get some rest too!"
After saying that, she pulled Xing, who was still looking around, towards the room assigned to them.
Bai Luoming watched their retreating figures, picked up his room key, and turned to walk down the other side of the corridor.
The rooms at the guesthouse truly lived up to their reputation.
He closed the door, shutting out the outside noise. The room was spacious and elegantly furnished. Outside the window was the brightly lit night view of Aurum Alley, a world apart from the small Goethe Hotel in Belobog.
Bai Luoming walked to the table and took out a terminal from his pocket.
He swiped his finger across the screen, hesitated for a moment, and then tapped on the pinned contact's messages.
The communication request was connected by the Herta the very next second after it was sent.
On the screen, Herta was lying on her side on the bed, in a relaxed posture. She was wearing a dark purple silk nightgown, her skin was fair, her long hair was still damp, and a few strands of hair clung to her cheeks.
Upon seeing Bai Luoming on the screen, a smile flickered in Herta's eyes as he teased.
"Why are you calling me at this hour?" Her voice was slightly hoarse. "Did you miss me?"
"I just happened to have some free time," Bai Luoming answered honestly. He found a comfortable position on the sofa and leaned the terminal against the table. "As for whether I want to or not, of course I do."
His straightforward answer made Herta's eyes crinkle into a smile.
The smile in her eyes deepened, and her gaze towards Bai Luoming softened.
"Do you want me to come keep you company?" Herta sat up slightly, the strap of her nightgown slipping down her smooth shoulder to reveal her delicate collarbone, but she didn't seem to care. Instead, she said slowly, "It's the same for me wherever I am."
Hearing Herta's dangerous remarks, Bai Luoming instinctively replied, "That's unnecessary."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Bai Luoming realized his mistake, coughed lightly, and tried to smooth things over:
"After all, the joy of Trailblaze is best experienced firsthand. If you just come here, what's the difference between this and playing on easy mode?"
He felt that his words were perfectly watertight, saving the other party's face while adhering to his own bottom line.
Herta watched Bai Luoming's attempt to make amends quietly, without showing any dissatisfaction at being rejected. After all, her previous suggestion was just a casual remark, and she had more important matters to attend to at the space station.
After Bai Luoming finished speaking, she slowly said, "Alright then. Remember to make the most of your rare free time."
After saying that, her face darkened, and she warned.
"Also, stay away from those women."
Although the Herta did not explicitly state who it was, Herta Bai Luoming knew very well what it meant.
I can choose not to provoke others, but I can't stand it when others provoke me.
He grumbled inwardly, but remained outwardly calm.
After saying this, Herta seemed to feel that the warning had been delivered, and casually hung up the communication.
Less than three seconds after Herta hung up the communication, the screen lit up again, and Herta's exquisite and beautiful face reappeared on the screen.
Seeing this, Bai Luoming's lips twitched. Herta was no longer pretending; she was directly blatantly admitting that her terminal was under her control.
At this moment, Bai Luoming's desire to buy another terminal had reached its peak. Being restricted from making friends was a minor matter; the main thing was that no one wanted to be interrupted and severely reprimanded when they were watching something exciting alone at night.
This time, Herta's expression was much more serious.
"Many of the things in the box are quite interesting; you don't have to treat them as trump cards," she reminded you. "You can discover their specific functions yourself; consider it a little surprise I've left for you."
After saying that, she cut off the connection completely without waiting for Bai Luoming's response.
Bai Luoming stared at the now-blacked-out screen, remained silent for a moment, and then let out a long sigh.
He was indeed curious about what was inside the box, so he took out the box left behind by the Herta.
He opened the box according to the method given by the Herta. As soon as the box was opened, a pair of seemingly ordinary black-rimmed glasses came into view.
Upon seeing this, Bai Luoming reached out and picked up the glasses almost without hesitation, then put them on.
His vision changed dramatically the moment he put on the glasses.
The room was still the same room, but detailed annotations had appeared next to all the items.
[Item: Wooden Chair]
[Material Analysis: Xianzhou Huanghuali, approximately 870 years old...]
[Structural Analysis: Mortise and tenon structure, load-bearing limit...]
Moreover, even the material composition of the walls and the chemical formula of the sandalwood in the air were clearly listed.
In his eyes, the entire world was instantly deconstructed into precise data.
He tried to concentrate, and a thought flashed through his mind, causing the data in front of him to change.
[Analysis Depth Adjustment: On/Off]
[X-ray Vision Mode: On/Off]
[Energy Spectrum Analysis: On/Off]
It has quite a few features.
However, compared to other modes, Bai Luoming was more curious about this so-called X-ray vision mode.
Without hesitation, he activated his X-ray vision mode. His field of vision changed again; the thick walls became transparent in his eyes, allowing him to see into another room outside the walls, and even the clothes and curtains became transparent.
Bai Luoming was in a playful mood at this moment. This X-ray vision mode is really amazing! It can even see through walls, so...
Thinking this, he looked down at his hands, but unexpectedly, the so-called X-ray vision did not produce the effect he wanted. Instead, all he could see were dark white bones.
This isn't right! Why can he see the bones directly? This isn't the X-ray vision he expected!
Thinking of this, Bai Luoming immediately turned to face the full-length mirror in the room, wanting to see if the full-body see-through effect was any different.
However, what was reflected in the mirror was still just a complete diagram of the human skeleton, with the scientific name of each bone thoughtfully labeled.
Besides that, there was nothing else to see.
Bai Luoming: "..."
Alright, it seems the Herta has been specially designed to not show any good stuff.
However, while this function wasn't as overpowered as he had imagined, it was still quite practical. At least when it came to playing cards, it was a game-changer.
With this in mind, Bai Luoming was already looking forward to his card game with Qingque tomorrow.
Who doesn't enjoy the pleasure of frying fish?
He put the glasses back in the box and then glanced briefly at the remaining items in the box, which were all oddly shaped trinkets whose purpose was unclear.
After briefly inquiring, he put the items back into the box one by one, then went into the bathroom to wash up.
However, just as Bai Luoming was washing up, a figure silently pushed open the door and quietly slipped into the room...
