Isn’t Charging While Sleeping Basic Operation?

After hearing Kanna's words, even Kal'tsit couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, with the way Kanna eats, the operators would probably have to work overtime just to earn enough Lungmen dollars to feed her. If anything were to happen that disrupted the funding chain, it wouldn't be impossible for this little one to eat them into bankruptcy in no time.

Now that she knew there were other solutions, Kal'tsit started calculating.

The charging method seemed feasible. The issue of not being able to move while charging could be easily solved—if daytime didn't work, then just charge at night. Sleeping while charging would not only replenish the body's needs but also avoid the frustration of being unable to play during the day due to equipment restrictions.

As for attracting lightning, Kal'tsit was genuinely curious to see it.

Since ancient times, thunder and lightning had been regarded as terrifying, uncontrollable forces—one of the supreme authorities of the gods in mythology. If Kanna could not only withstand lightning unharmed but actually absorb it for energy, then that would be quite fascinating.

"How much have you replenished now?"

"About half!" Kanna checked her body and replied.

Kal'tsit nodded. Looks like they wouldn't have to "exploit" the other operators too much.

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

Kanna scratched 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 while she's asleep, Kanna can't guarantee they won't get hurt."

Thinking about it, Kanna figured that at the current voltage of the equipment, even if her defenses were lower in sleep mode, it still wouldn't affect her. After all, for a battery, the worst-case scenario of excessive input would simply be stopping once it reached capacity—there was no risk of exploding from overcharging.

However, while asleep, she couldn't control the electrical currents on her body and skin as precisely, so if someone touched her under those conditions, they would most likely receive an electric shock treatment.

Kal'tsit nodded. "You're certain you won't get hurt?"

"Yes."

"Then that's easy to deal with. We'll just arrange a private room for you. Once you're asleep, others will only be able to wake you up by knocking on the door or ringing the doorbell."

Kanna thought about it. She was already used to sleeping alone, so she had no objections to Kal'tsit's idea. In fact, the thought of having her own private room made her a little excited.

With that, the two reached an agreement. Kal'tsit scrapped her previous room assignment and arranged for Kanna to stay in a single room not far from Amiya. Shortly after, Closure rushed into the room upon receiving Kal'tsit's orders, quickly plugged in a cable beside the bed, and then hurriedly left.

"Before I came, I heard that in another training room, the mercenary doctor Kal'tsit brought to the island earlier had also pushed the strength-training iron ball to the top. Everyone suspected that the iron ball was malfunctioning, so that's probably why Closure was in such a hurry."

Amiya had gone to the command room to retrieve Kanna's ID card before coming over, and upon seeing Closure's hurried actions, she offered an explanation.

"Oh!" A golden light flashed in Kal'tsit's eyes as she immediately recalled who Amiya was referring to.

Previously, Rhodes Island had taken in a somewhat mentally unstable nun, Specter. When the mercenary heard about it, she came to the island. Given that both of them belonged to the mysterious Aegir race and were familiar with each other, Kal'tsit had approved the deep-sea hunter who called herself Skadi to join.

Since Skadi had successfully completed a previous Rhodes Island mission, she was exempt from the usual assessment and was directly approved for employment.

Hearing news about her didn't surprise Kal'tsit at all. After all, when it came to Skadi and the enigmatic Aegir, there weren't many people in this land who understood them better than she did.
