Chapter 1722: Only One Free Question Left
Ning Shu closed the chat system and took out her Unsurpassable Martial Arts manual. What did she have to do in order to make this book form a world?
She really wanted her own world.
Ning Shu closed the book and recalled that the silver-haired man still owed her three questions.
The silver-haired man was quite knowledgeable.
Ning Shu took the manual and told 2333, “Go to the fabricated space.”
“Alright.”
After a moment of dizziness, she was standing again on the blue stone street. Still clutching the manual of Unsurpassable Martial Arts, she headed towards the consultation room.
As soon as she walked into the consultation room, Ning Shu smelled a fragrant and elegant incense. It made her feel clear-headed as all her negative emotions slowly dissipated and her mind was set at ease.
Ning Shu desperately inhaled the incense.
The silver-haired man came out of the inner room and saw Ning Shu. His expression was faint.
He held a book that never left his hand and his long silver hair was tied back.
“What do you want to ask this time?” The silver-haired man sat down. His movements were elegant, gentlemanly, and graceful.
Ning Shu placed the manual on the table and asked, “What would it take to create a world?”
The silver-haired man raised an eyebrow. “You’re only an intermediate task-taker and you want to construct a world?”
Construct a world?
She remembered that 795 also mentioned something about constructing a world.
Ning Shu flipped open the Unsurpassable Martial Arts manual and said, “Take a look. Can this become a world?”
The silver-haired man took the book, flipped through its pages, and raised his eyebrows. “The patterns formed by its power of faith could create a world, but it would be more difficult than usual.”
“A world needs laws and a power system to maintain the operation of the world. It needs an environment where living beings can survive: water, sunlight, land. Just as souls have soul origins, so do the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire and earth—need an origin. The power of these origins maintains the world.”
Ning Shu internalized the silver-haired man’s words and asked, “So I need these elemental origin powers?”
The silver-haired man closed the manual and pushed it over to Ning Shu. “Yes. Origin power isn’t easy to get. It’s usually derived from the realm itself. With your current abilities, it would be too difficult to artificially create a world.”
Ning Shu pressed her lips together. Maybe she could get origin power.
Ning Shu asked, “What does it mean to construct a world?”
“A task-taker is also a kind of cultivator. Generally once one becomes an advanced task-taker, they start constructing their own world. With their own independent world as backup, they are not so easily eliminated.” The silver-haired man said.
Ning Shu nodded. What that task-taker said about ‘an advanced task-taker who didn’t even know how to construct a world’ made sense now.
So this is what that was all about.
The silver-haired man said, “You’ve already asked two questions. There’s only one free question left.”
“What? That was just one question, okay?” Ning Shu was speechless.
“The first question was whether this book could form a world. The second was how a world is constructed.” The silver-haired man crossed his arms, his tone mild.
Ning Shu: …
Damn it.
That traitorous businessman!!!
Ning Shu inhaled the incense hard. The silver-haired man made his way back to the inner room, but then paused on the threshold. He turned back towards Ning Shu and said, “This incense is an additional charge as per the length of the session.”
Ning Shu took her manual and ran out of the consultation room. When she looked at the sign on the door, she had the urge to flip a table.
Gentlemanly, elegant, and treacherous.
They were all cunning old foxes!
She once again wondered how long this man had existed.
After leaving the consultation room, Ning Shu went to the restaurant and ordered something to eat.
A table full of food, where eating it all doesn’t make you feel full or gain weight, is awesome!
After heading out of the restaurant, Ning Shu decided to buy an upgraded version of the protective talisman. She got eliminated the last time she bought one.
So she needed a new one now.
