Chapter 3706: Reincarnation Pool

After receiving a tax of only one hundred merit points, Ning Shu didn't even want to speak anymore. She’d risked the danger of obliteration, snuck around like a thief or a drug dealer, and even got Mei Ziqing to help scout ahead—and it all resulted in a mere one hundred merit points.

Ning Shu really felt like a dog being fucked over in her heart.

How incredibly frustrating.

Bickering with the silver-haired man wasn't even as good as doing tasks. The soul power she gained was much more substantial. She really felt completely drunk on this absurdity.

Ning Shu couldn't say a single word for a long time. She had never seen anyone so stingy. Taking a deep breath, she asked, "Is the tax really just this tiny bit?"

The silver-haired man replied, "Of course. You can check it yourself."

Ning Shu: Hehe…

Ning Shu genuinely didn't know what to say anymore. She turned and left, hurrying to run away. What if the adjudicator appeared again?

Dying for a hundred merit points would be too tragic.

After Ning Shu left, the silver-haired man picked up his book, stood up, and went into the back room. The consultation room was left empty.

Ning Shu entered the restaurant where Mei Ziqing and Xiao Huo were eating. Seeing Ning Shu arrive, Mei Ziqing asked, "Did you manage to collect the taxes?"

"Guess." Ning Shu picked up a teacup expressionlessly and took a sip.

Mei Ziqing said, "Looking at your expression, it seems things didn't go very smoothly. You didn't get them."

"I got them." Ning Shu gulped down the whole cup of tea. Xiao Huo immediately refilled Ning Shu's teacup and then stayed silent. The atmosphere right now was a bit poor.

"You got them and you still have that expression?" Mei Ziqing slowly took a sip of tea. Since it was none of her business, she was completely relaxed.

Ning Shu shot her a glance and said, "He gave me one hundred merit points."

"Is the consultation room's business really that bad?" Mei Ziqing asked in astonishment.

Ning Shu: …

"Why didn't you consider the possibility that he shortchanged my taxes?" Ning Shu said exasperatedly. Her breasts ached from the frustration.

"The auction house bullies you, but although the consultation room is a bit shady, it wouldn't go as far as shortchanging you," Mei Ziqing said casually. "The consultation room has existed since a very, very long time ago. He wouldn't shortchange you for this little bit. I guess business really is that bad."

Ning Shu also couldn't be bothered to argue over this. She filtered the information the silver-haired man had given her. Yeah, it was useless. It just provided the lord's contact information.

The lord was someone who controlled billions of reincarnation worlds. Did he have time to pay attention to her?

So, it was basically all nonsense, yet he had even spoken as if it was something incredibly grand and profound.

Mei Ziqing shrugged her shoulders and didn't say anything. Ning Shu changed the subject and asked, "How's your comprehension of the ordinance coming along?"

"Just so-so," Mei Ziqing said.

"Have you started constructing a world?" Ning Shu asked.

"Yeah, but I don't have a world carrier. I haven't found a suitable world carrier yet."

Ning Shu: "…Then what are you doing?"

"Doing tasks to survive. Is a world that easy to construct? A world origin is hard to find. Even if constructed successfully, it might just be a space, unable to even produce living beings. What's the rush?" Mei Ziqing said leisurely.

Ning Shu let out an ‘oh,’ and said, "Of course I’m rushing, you ass. I'm a fugitive right now."

"I'm not a fugitive, so I can't understand your troubles," Mei Ziqing said with a wide grin.

"Stop gloating over my misfortune. I'm leaving." Ning Shu said to Mei Ziqing before hurriedly leaving the restaurant to reinforce the barrier of the City of Water.

The City of Water was her main source of income. Only by protecting it well and ensuring no problems occurred could she keep the money rolling in.

The more people came here to comprehend the water ordinance, the higher the foot traffic. The better the business for the shops, the better her tax revenue. After handing over a portion of the taxes upward, the rest would be hers.

The shops paid taxes to her, and she paid taxes to those above.

It was these taxes that allowed her to purchase the reincarnation origin and construct the reincarnation world. Without the one million points, she could only watch helplessly as the reincarnation origin slipped away, not knowing where to find one the next time.

Therefore, resources truly were good things. They could be traded for what one desired.

Therefore, money was a good thing.

Anything that could be solved with money wasn't a major issue. The terrifying part was having no money and no resources.

After reinforcing the barrier of the City of Water, Ning Shu hurriedly returned to the system space, terrified that the Judge would pop out from somewhere and obliterate her.

Ning Shu lay down on the sofa, picked up a soul-nourishing fruit, and started munching. To some extent, this tree fed on souls. Did eating its fruits now count as cannibalism?

Thinking about it this way did feel a bit disgusting. Yeah, she should eat a few more.

While Ning Shu was playing dead on the sofa, the chat system chimed. Ning Shu boredly opened the chat system and saw someone was requesting to add her as a friend.

Ning Shu sat up and looked at the name of the person requesting to add her as a friend—The Lord!!??

Could it be that person who controlled billions of reincarnation worlds?

Or perhaps it was just a namesake!?

Ning Shu coughed, straightened her back, and tapped to accept.

Ning Shu patted her chest, feeling a bit nervous. She didn't send a message over and waited for the other party to send one first. What if she had made a ridiculous mistake?

Moreover, she was just a small fry. Would the lord really be so free as to chat with her?

Ning Shu watched the chat interface, which displayed that the other party was currently typing.

Oh my god, what should she do? She felt even more nervous.

With a chime, a message came through. Ning Shu was nearly startled upon seeing what the other party sent.

The lord: [Hello, I am the lord. I heard from Little Silver that you've constructed a reincarnation world. Is this true? Does your reincarnation world have a reincarnation pool?]

Ning Shu: …

What the hell are you talking about!?

Ning Shu replied, [My reincarnation world is still evolving. There is no reincarnation pool.]

The lord: [I see. Is there anything you don't understand?]

Ning Shu: …

Warning bells rang loudly in Ning Shu's heart. Why was he being so amiable toward her?

[No.] Ning Shu flatly refused.

The lord: [May I be so bold as to take a look at your reincarnation world?]

Ning Shu: …

If you know it's bold, then don't ask! How am I supposed to refuse you?

The lord said, "You don't need to worry that I will covet your reincarnation world. It's just that the vast majority of people choose to construct worlds with living beings rather than reincarnation worlds. All planes, as well as the worlds constructed by task-takers, are connected to reincarnation worlds. I am very happy that someone is able to be self-sufficient. Furthermore, if your reincarnation world could connect to billions of planes, it couldn't be better."

With the other party saying such things, she really didn't know how to respond.

2333 said, "Don't be stupid enough to connect to billions of planes. If you do, countless souls will swarm over here. Your world is still a half-finished product."

Planes were just like machines. Overusing them would cause them to break down prematurely. Nothing existed eternally.

Ning Shu said to the lord, [My world has not fully evolved yet.]

Ning Shu asked 2333, "What kind of person is this?"

She had repeatedly refused, yet the other party seemed completely oblivious to it.
