The three returned to Xia's Summer Shop to rest for a while.
When dinner time came, they took two boxes of mooncakes and went to Wanmin Restaurant for dinner.
Xiangling had learned to be cautious this time, directly locking the boxes in a cabinet to prevent Guoba from stealing them again.
After dinner, like yesterday evening, the three of them went for a walk at the harbor, trying new foods they spotted along the way.
This was a completely different pace of life from the mountains. Shenhe felt slightly unaccustomed to it, but she didn't dislike it.
After watching fireworks at the wharf and returning to the shop, Zhu Zi went to the kitchen to boil water. Xia Zhi took two boxes of mooncakes and walked out with Shenhe to visit next door.
Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, which had been tightly closed during the day, now had lit lanterns under its eaves.
A ferryman stood silently at the entrance.
Xia Zhi walked over, didn't chat much with the Funeral Parlor attendant, and simply handed over the food box, asking her to pass it to Director Hu.
For bathing, Xia Zhi went first as usual.
After his bath, he told the two girls, "We're working tomorrow, so get a good rest tonight."
"Got it, boss."
"Mm."
"Shenhe, don't worry. The work at our shop is very simple. Tomorrow you can watch Zhu Zi for a while and you'll understand."
"Mm."
Xia Zhi nodded and went upstairs.
Zhu Zi looked at Shenhe and said, "Miss Shenhe, I'd like to take my bath first today, is that okay?"
Shenhe responded indifferently, "Fine."
Zhu Zi felt delighted inside and said, "Then I'll go get my clothes."
Shenhe watched Zhu Zi run off, not understanding why she was suddenly so happy. But she didn't care about that. She quietly walked into the bathroom, took out the boss's changed clothes from the wooden tub in the corner, and put them in the washing bucket.
When Zhu Zi returned with her clothes, she saw Shenhe sitting in the back washing the boss's clothes.
???
Wait, how did you snatch the boss's clothes again!
Zhu Zi glumly walked into the bathroom, looking at the empty wooden tub, with only one thought in her mind.
Miss Shenhe is so cunning!
Upstairs, in his room.
Xia Zhi called up the system panel and equipped the special item [Hidden Cap], just like when equipping [Wings of Radiance], he automatically mastered a new skill.
He could freely enter a hidden state.
Xia Zhi focused his thoughts and chose to enter the hidden state. His body seemed to undergo subtle changes.
But under the detection view, he still saw himself, feeling as if there was no difference from before entering this state.
Xia Zhi pondered for a moment, took out the small mirror he had bought before, and looked at himself.
Something strange happened.
There was no reflection of him in the mirror; instead, it showed the wall behind him.
Xia Zhi changed the mirror's angle and looked at himself again, still unable to see any trace of himself in the reflection.
This meant that to ordinary people, he was now in an "invisible" state.
However, the system's detection seemed to have an inherent "anti-stealth" effect, directly piercing through this property.
Xia Zhi tried picking up paper from the table.
The paper's image remained in the mirror, but it appeared to float in mid-air, as if held by an invisible hand.
Xia Zhi focused his thoughts, exited the hidden state, and then, while holding the paper, entered the hidden state again.
This time, the paper's image disappeared from the mirror.
Xia Zhi released his fingers, and the paper fluttered down, still not visible in the mirror.
This seemed to indicate that the hidden state only preserved his appearance upon entering it. Afterward, no matter what items he picked up, they wouldn't gain the hidden property through contact unless he refreshed the state like this. Once an item was given the hidden property, unless he removed it, it would remain hidden even if it left his control.
But as a golden item's property, surely it couldn't be just a mere "invisibility" effect?
Xia Zhi thought for a moment, maintained the hidden state, and opened the door to walk out.
Walking down the stairs, his footsteps still made sounds.
He came to the back of the shop and saw Shenhe washing clothes, but she was still wearing the same clothes from earlier today, so whose clothes was she washing? Could they be Miss Zhu Zi's?
Looking more carefully, he realized they were the clothes he had changed out of.
Hm?
Wasn't Miss Zhu Zi always the one washing his clothes?
How did it become Miss Shenhe today?
Unexpectedly, Miss Shenhe had also learned to take care of others.
Xia Zhi walked towards her, not concealing his footsteps.
However, Shenhe showed no awareness, as if she hadn't heard any sound.
Xia Zhi walked right up to stand in front of her.
Shenhe remained completely unaware of his presence, still focused on washing his clothes.
Xia Zhi looked at her and softly called out, "Miss Shenhe."
Shenhe had no response, as if she hadn't heard anything.
Xia Zhi thought for a moment and reached out to gently touch her hair.
Shenhe paused, looked up, and murmured, "Where did that breeze come from..."
She still hadn't noticed Xia Zhi in front of her.
Indeed, the hidden state wasn't simply invisibility.
In this state, he seemed to become a person without any presence.
Xia Zhi looked up at the bathroom where water sounds were coming from.
Miss Zhu Zi was bathing in there, so it wasn't convenient to test with her.
Never mind.
Xia Zhi turned and left, went outside the shop, and walked along the street to reach the area near the city gate at Chihu Rock.
Although it was quite late now, there were still many people coming and going, and some street stalls were doing business.
Xia Zhi wasn't interested in this bustling street life.
He came here for only one purpose: the giant lamp-like object under a large tree nearby.
Its base was suspended in the air, emitting a pale blue light in the night.
This was the strange device he had encountered once in the wild.
Xia Zhi walked up to it, stood in front of it, reached out his hand, and tried to touch its outer wall.
The moment his fingers touched it, the system's voice indeed rang in his mind.
"Teleport Waypoint contacted, recorded."
"Host can use Teleport Waypoints to perform spatial jumps between different waypoints."
"Current recorded Teleport Waypoint count: 2."
"Host has acquired trait: Void Break."
"Can forcibly use Teleport Waypoints, destination random."
The system panel appeared before him, now showing a list.
[Teleport Waypoint: Number 1]
[Teleport Waypoint: Number 2]
[Teleport Waypoint: Number 2] was displayed in red, indicating his current location.
Xia Zhi shook his head, feeling this numbering was somewhat chaotic, and chose to rename them.
[Dunyu Ruins]
[Chihu Rock]
Then, he selected [Dunyu Ruins] from the list.
"Target location Dunyu Ruins, commence teleport?"
"Yes."
The Teleport Waypoint's pale blue light flickered slightly, and Xia Zhi's figure instantly vanished.
The bustling crowd around remained completely unaware.
