Chapter 1937: Visit Some Shops

Soul origin was a resource that was much more precious than soul energy. The moment Ning Shu heard that they needed to take some of her soul origin, she turned and left.

The soul was the foundation of existence, and the soul origin was the core of the soul. She had no desire to lose any bit of her soul origin.

If she gave up some now, how was she supposed to recover more of it later?

She was also scared that someone would use her soul origin against her. If it was possible to devour soul energy, then it must also be possible to devour soul origin.

She wondered who established this black market. It was right in the middle of the fabricated space yet it didn’t get destroyed.

Since Ning Shu hadn’t been able to get any news about world origin powers in the trading hall, she decided to visit some shops and ask around.

She walked into a shop and bought a few small items before asking the shop owner if they had any world origin powers.

The moment the shop owner heard her question, she said with a slight smile, “Dearie, I run a small business. This little shop doesn’t have things like world origin powers.”

“You can try asking around in the trading hall. If that doesn’t work, you can ask in a higher level space,” said the shop owner.

“Thanks.” Ning Shu smiled towards her, then left the shop.

She sighed, then asked 2333, “Where do you think I’d be able to find world origin powers?”

“I don’t know either. Each world origin power exists in a different way. One might be a tree, another might be an artifact. It could be a lake, or maybe even a stone. Furthermore, not every world could derive an additional origin.

“A plane will always first create the source power that it needs, then it may derive additional world origin powers. Some planes will stop creating world origin powers as soon as they obtain the powers that it needs, while other planes will continue. That’s why, encountering these things is completely dependent on… luck, your luck.“╮(╯▽╰)╭

Ning Shu: …

Reality was so harsh.

Ning Shu didn’t bother wandering around in the fabricated space anymore. Rather than wasting time here, it would be better to head back and cultivate.

Wait. Something just occurred to her, which was that she had now become an advanced task-taker. In the future, tasks would become increasingly hard. She had to figure out a way to keep herself calmer so that she could complete tasks better.

The calmness halo no longer seemed to be as effective as before now that her soul had become stronger.

During the tasks, occasionally she wouldn’t be able to control her emotions and she would have to rely on the heart-clearing chant.

She headed back towards the shop to see if there were any tools that could allow someone to stay calm.

As she was looking through the tools, the shop owner recommended one to her. “This is a tranquility pill.”

Ning Shu: →_→

What’s with the name? The tranquility pill was a bead about the size of standard Buddha prayer beads. It emitted a calming scent, almost like the scent of mint.

“How much does it cost?” asked Ning Shu.

“50 merit points.” The shop owner lifted her hand and spread out five fingers.

“That’s too expensive.” Why did everything cost merit points now? Why couldn’t she use experience points?

“What if I want to use experience points?” asked Ning Shu.

“Ten million,” said the shop owner.

Ning Shu: Pfff…

The frick? What was with this ratio? 500,000 to one? Experience points were seriously worthless.

“Young lady, better tools are always exchanged with faith and merit points. Furthermore, tools that were exchanged with faith and merit points will always belong to you. Even if you’re participating in a special task, such as examination tasks, you can still use them.

“Things that can be easily obtained like experience points are of course not very valuable. Furthermore, the system can take back items exchanged for with experience points at any time.”

Ning Shu hammered at her heart. Life was so hard.

“It’s too expensive, can you make it a bit cheaper?” Ning Shu bargained.

The shop owner didn’t make it any cheaper, but she gave Ning Shu some little things along with it.
