Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: Isn't charging while sleeping a basic operation?

After hearing Kanna's words, even Empress Dowager Kal'tsit unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, with Kanna's appetite, the Operators would probably have to work overtime to earn enough lungmen dollars to support her. If something went wrong and the funding got stuck, it wouldn't be impossible for this little one to eat them into bankruptcy in minutes.

Now that she knew there were other solutions, Kal'tsit began to ponder.

The charging solution could be considered; the problem of not being able to move while charging was easy to solve. If not during the day, then charge at night. After all, charging during sleep could replenish what the body needed and avoid the dilemma of wanting to play during the day but being restricted by the device.

As for lightning attraction, Kal'tsit genuinely wanted to witness it.

Since ancient times, thunder, as a terrifying and uncontrollable energy, has always been one of the supreme authorities of the gods in myths. If Kanna could not only be unharmed by thunder but also gain replenishment from it, that would be interesting.

"So, how much have you replenished now?"

"I'm halfway there!" Kanna replied after checking her body.

Kal'tsit nodded. It seemed there wouldn't be too much "exploitation" of the other Operators.

After Kanna finished eating, Kal'tsit asked if she could charge while sleeping.

Kanna rubbed her head, then looked at Kal'tsit with a puzzled expression.

"Kanna doesn't know! Kanna can only guarantee that she won't get hurt, but if someone touches Kanna after she falls asleep, Kanna can't guarantee that the other person won't get hurt."

After thinking about it, Kanna felt that the voltage of the device's operation, even if her defenses were lowered after falling asleep, wouldn't affect her. After all, for a battery, the input current would at most stop entering once it was full, and it wouldn't cause an explosion.

However, in a sleeping state, she couldn't guarantee control over the current on her body and skin, so if someone touched her in that situation, they would most likely experience a round of electrotherapy.

Kal'tsit nodded, "Are you sure you won't get hurt?"

"Yes."

"Then it's simple. We just need to arrange a private room for you. After you fall asleep, others can only wake you up by knocking on the door or ringing the doorbell, right?"

Kanna thought about it. She was already used to sleeping alone, so she wasn't against Kal'tsit's idea. On the contrary, having her own single room made her a little excited.

The two hit it off immediately. Kal'tsit canceled her previously planned room and arranged her in a single room not far from Amiya. Kroos, upon receiving Kal'tsit's order, hurried into the room and quickly connected a plug by the bed, then rushed out.

"Before I came, I heard in another training room that the mercenary Doctor Kal'tsit brought to the island earlier also pushed the iron ball for strength training to its limit. Everyone suspects the iron ball might be malfunctioning, which is why Kroos is so anxious," Amiya explained, having retrieved Kanna's ID card from the command room before arriving, witnessing Kroos's hurried actions.

"Oh!" A golden glint flashed in Kal'tsit's eyes, and she immediately recalled who the mercenary Amiya was talking about was.

Rhodes Island had previously taken in Specter, a nun who was a bit disoriented. Upon hearing this news, this mercenary, who had quite a bit of history with Rhodes Island, came to the island. Given that both belonged to the mysterious Aegir and were familiar with each other, she approved the addition of the Abyssal Hunter who called herself Skadi.

Because she had previously successfully completed Rhodes Island's mercenary missions, the testing phase was waived, and her application for employment was directly approved.

Kal'tsit didn't find it strange upon hearing the news about her. After all, regarding Skadi and the mysterious Aegir, there were truly not many people on this current land who knew more than her.
