After becoming rich overnight, I handed over the system.

Chapter 143 The Wonderful Uses of Bones

After sharing his experience of square dancing, Lin Liuyi finally completed the transaction.

In the underworld, the ghost reader opened his eyes, first inhaled some incense and candles, then turned on the speakers and started dancing to Lin Liuyi's music.

Even though he was the only ghost, he was dancing with great enthusiasm. Lin Liuyi said that the most important thing about square dancing is to get moving.

He jumped left and right, forward and backward, then spun around, and when he got excited, he even did a backflip.

He stretched out his left hand first, then his right, and *smack*, accidentally hitting someone. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

The ghost reader quickly apologized, "Wait, that's not right, where did this person come from? No, where did this ghost come from!"

He'd searched this place countless times, but there were no other ghosts there!

"Hmph, these young people are getting worse with each generation, their eyesight is so bad!" If Lin Liuyi were here, he would only see a series of fog figures, but in the eyes of the ghost reader, the person speaking to him was an old lady.

"No, Auntie, where did you come from! Besides, I already apologized to you!" the ghost reader protested.

"Alright, get out of the way. Do you even know how to dance? Square dancing is for people our age!" The auntie said, and then she actually started dancing to the music. To be honest, it was much better than the ghost reader's random dancing. This was a complete dance.

"No, it's me!" Before the ghost reader could even voice his opinion, he was pushed forward by the fog-man behind him.

"Young man, make way for this lady. Oh, it's been so long since I've heard this music, I've almost forgotten the dance steps!"

"Hey, Lao Zhang, you're here too!"

"Of course! I came as soon as I heard that familiar voice! I sleep all day long, these old bones of mine are about to fall apart! Oh dear, I'd forgotten I don't have bones anymore!"

"Hey, let me tell you, it's great to be boneless! You'll be so light and graceful when you dance! Come on, let's practice! Old Chen's group will definitely be here soon, we can't let them beat us!"

"Don't worry! We were the best in our neighborhood before we died! We'd definitely beat them!"

"Young man, what are you still doing standing here? Go away, don't bother us!"

As the ghost reader watched the growing number of middle-aged women, he followed their direction and realized they were coming from the same sea they had come from before.

No, isn't there only bones in there?

He looked closely and saw an older woman stretching and floating out of the sea, drifting towards the sound of music.

Now he understood why he couldn't find a single ghost; they were all just lying in the sea sleeping.

No, why didn't anyone tell him this!

Looking at the place where he used to dance in the square, a huge group has already formed. Waaah, now the speaker isn't his anymore!

Lin Liuyi had no time to care about this heartbroken reader; after giving the bones from the transaction to Zhou Zheng, she was busy working on her new story.

She still remembered the surprise the system had mentioned; she was only three readers short, and she needed to work harder.

After Zhou Zheng obtained the bone, he immediately handed it over to the researchers to extract energy.

Once the energy was extracted, it was put back into the bone-shaped box, which was actually made of the same bones. Researchers had tested this method to maximize energy preservation.

They compress and store energy, which also makes them more convenient to move around; after all, they can't carry a big bone with them on a mission.

In a no-man's-land, a small team of eight people, dressed in black cloaks and with their makeup done, were at work.

"Is everyone ready?" the captain asked.

"Ready!"

"We've only determined the approximate location of the target. Once we reach the designated position, one squad will scout, the second squad will attack, the third squad will provide support, and the fourth squad will cover the rear. Our mission is to ensure the target's safety. Everything is for the target's sake. Understand?"

"clear!"

So, while an expert and his family were hiding, four people dressed in black suddenly appeared, exchanged a secret code, and took them away.

Hmm? Who did the government send to provide this assistance?

The family followed the man in black through a maze of twists and turns. Just as the expert was about to expose the group to the enemy, the man in black took out a bone-shaped object and poured something onto him, his wife, and their children. Then, they walked right past the enemy.

It's gone! The expert's eyes nearly popped out of his head. Even after it had passed by, he couldn't help but turn his head to look back.

What kind of magic is this!

Then it seemed they had accidentally walked into a dead end. "Should we turn back?" the expert said cautiously.

The man in black told him not to worry, then took out a bone and poured it on himself. He then started pressing against the wall, and suddenly the wall that was originally a dead end opened up.

It's open!

The expert family was dumbfounded and continued following the man in black.

Not far away, they encountered another group of enemies who surrounded them.

The men in black remained calm and unhurried. One of them took out a bone and poured something into his hand.

He then walked up to the enemies, snapped his fingers, and instantly they fell into a hypnotic state, following the black-clad man's instructions to go in another direction.

After passing through this area, we finally arrived at a safe location, where two more men in black came to meet us.

The two new men in black nodded slightly to the four people who had arrived earlier, and then led the expert family into what appeared to be an ordinary house.

The interior of the house was surprisingly spacious, and the group settled the expert and his family in.

The expert looked around curiously, "What's this?"

"Engineer Liu, don't worry, we can go back once the last two team members return." With that, the last team member returned.

After everyone returned, the experts suddenly discovered that the house was slowly rising into the air.

"What's going on?" Engineer Liu looked at the men in black in surprise.

His heart pounded. Were these people sent by the government? Had they just escaped one danger only to fall into another? At this moment, Old Liu had already forgotten that they had exchanged secret signals.

After the house stabilized in the air, the men in black changed back into their camouflage uniforms.

"Hello, Mr. Liu, you are now aboard our country's new fighter jet."

"But it was clearly a house just now!"

"A house is just a disguise made by an energy field; it can also disguise itself as a cave, a ship, or other objects."

"What about those bone patterns? What did you produce? Is it a new type of weapon for the country?" The experts fell silent.

"I suppose so. Engineer Liu, once you return to the country, someone will explain all of this to you," the team leader gave a general answer.

To everyone's surprise, the expert wasn't happy after hearing this. Instead, he gave a wry smile and said, "The country has developed to this point, do they still need me?"

"Of course we need you! Engineer Liu, the fact that we went through so much trouble to rescue you proves that the country needs you!" The squad leader said somewhat guiltily, as if he hadn't gone through much hardship, mainly because that energy was just too useful.

However, upon hearing this, Engineer Liu perked up. Yes, the country needs him!
