No Useless Skills... Probably?
At 6:50 p. m., PrayerUnderDreams and the other two returned.
Because Night Owl suffered a severe injury to his left shoulder, his left hand will be essentially useless for the rest of the time. Therefore, in room [504], dinner tonight will be prepared by Zither-Drum Harmony alone.
"We found a strange shop near the Supermarket."
Perhaps because the group had been attacked inexplicably during the day, there was no joking around, and PrayerUnderDreams sat cross-legged on the floor and began to speak very seriously.
"That shop contains a large amount of Equipment, items, and Skill Card. You can use points to participate in a lottery; that's roughly where the points are used."
"... The Lucky Roulette?"
After hearing PrayerUnderDreams's description, Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow.
"Pretty much. One point allows you to spin once, but most of the time, what you get are useless, almost obsolete junk items. Very few things are actually useful."
He sat down on the floor as well, and Heavenless Heretic shook his head.
"However, if you're lucky, you might be able to pull out some high-level Equipment or healing items... For example, PrayerUnderDreams pulled out two Skill Cards."
"... Are you deliberately bringing this up to annoy me?"
Turning her head to glance at Heavenless Heretic, PrayerUnderDreams she had swallowed a fly. Then, amidst the puzzled expressions of Bai Zhi and Night Owl, she casually tossed two gray cards onto the ground and muttered something in an annoyed tone.
"I suspect these two Skills are purely designed to annoy me... Anyone who wants them can take them, but I'm not taking them. Aren't they just deliberately designed to disgust me?!"
"Disgusting Skill?"
Bai Zhi glanced at PrayerUnderDreams with a slightly puzzled look, then picked up the two cards from the floor.
After all, Player can never have too many Skills, which are rare. The main reason Player can Anomaly isn't their physical abilities, but rather their bizarre and varied Skill... and even some annoying Skill?
However, after taking a brief look, Bai Zhi's expression immediately became very strange.
"What kind of Skill is it exactly?"
Seeing the expression on Bai Zhi's face, the Night Owl sitting on the bed became even more curious.
"Here, see for yourself."
Bai Zhi casually handed the two Skill Cards to Night Owl and shrugged.
"In a sense, PrayerUnderDreams is right; this is indeed Skill designed to annoy people..."

"Well..."
Looking at the system introductions displayed on the two grayed-out Skill Card, Night Owl's lips twitched involuntarily.
She handed the two Skill Card back and began to speak haltingly.
"Your two Skills... are quite unique."
"Laugh if you want to, there's no need to hold it in. I've already been laughed at the whole way..."
Rolling her eyes, PrayerUnderDreams's words sounded rather listless.
As the saying goes, life is full of ups and downs. He thought he had a stroke of good luck and had drawn two Skills at Single-use, but who could have imagined... Sure enough, his life was full of ups and downs.
"There's really no need to be so dismissive. These two Skill can be useful in certain situations, and might even be quite powerful."
After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi handed the two Skill Cards to the other person and comforted them.
"Yeah, yeah, it can be disgusting to death..."
With a sigh, PrayerUnderDreams accepted the two Skill Cards.
"Let's not talk about these troubling things. Let's focus on what we found at the mall this afternoon... There are a total of 43 shops in the entire Supermarket, plus one Special shop, making a total of 44. All kinds of daily necessities are available there, and you can find all the essentials for daily life there. Apart from that, we didn't find anything unusual."
"Eating, drinking, having fun, clothing, food, housing, and transportation—it includes everything except transportation... Aside from the lack of windows, it really is a great place for a vacation."
Bai Zhi reached up and touched his chin, looking thoughtful.
"By the way, I just wanted to tell you something. Because of this terrible attack by the Mirror Monster that happened during the day, to prevent any of us from being switched by the Anomaly, we must show our Player Identifier every time we regroup after splitting up. Any questions?"
"That's exactly what I was thinking."
Heavenless Heretic nodded solemnly.
"The time when each Player is alone in their room at night is the most likely time for them to be Anomaly, so they must proactively disclose their Player Information each time they meet again."
As he spoke, he displayed his Player Information.
[Heavenless Heretic: Lv9]
"Whatever, considering what happened during the day... It's true that essential Protective Gear is still necessary, otherwise, if you're ambushed, you won't even know how you died."
After glancing at the Night Owl sitting on the bed with a thick bandage wrapped around his left shoulder, PrayerUnderDreams sighed and then displayed his Player Information.
[PrayerUnderDreams: Lv7]
Player Information is something that Anomaly absolutely cannot fake, so its credibility can still be guaranteed. After Bai Zhi and Night Owl also revealed their Player Information, Zither-Drum Harmony were wearing aprons around their waists, came over with food.
"Let me stay in Night Owl's room with her tonight. She can't play Game in her current state, so she's bound to encounter Anomaly Incident tonight... At least I can be of some help here."
Because the Night Owl was seriously injured while saving her, she always felt a strange sense of guilt.
[Zither-Drum Harmony: Lv7]
Bai Zhi turned his head and glanced at the Zither-Drum Harmony, then shook his head.
"No need, I'll stay here tonight."
