182 The Muse (Part 2)

A thin teenager was sitting quietly in the innermost seat. There was no one around him, so there was an empty seat.

Ning Shi walked in from the door. The innermost corner of the outer wall was a blind spot, so he didn’t notice.

When he saw a seat, he walked around the child on the ground and sat down.

There were so many children in the reading room, but everyone would rather sit on the ground than turn a blind eye to this position. There must be something strange about this.

Sure enough, as soon as Ning Shi sat down, a little boy of about ten years old on his left said timidly.

“Brother, you can’t sit here. The one sitting next to you is a muse who will bring disaster. It’s all because of the muse that our origin planet is in such a miserable state.”

When Ning Shi heard about the muse, his heart moved and he looked carefully at the young man beside him.

He had crew-cut short hair that tested his looks. He had big almond-shaped eyes, long eyelashes, and a small red mouth. Although he was small and thin, and his clothes were extremely simple and had been washed white, it could not hide his beauty.

Ning Shi was almost moved by a man!

Ning Shi looked carefully. This young man had an Adam’s apple at his throat. Although he looked very charming, he was indeed a man.

The young man felt Ning Shi’s gaze and said indifferently.

“Wang Fu is right. I am a muse and I am very unlucky. Those who get close to me will not have a good ending. It is not too late for you to leave your seat now.”

Before Ning Shi could say anything, the child who had just reminded Ning Shi, Wang Fu, continued.

“That’s right, big brother. Although this is the first time I’m seeing you, I can’t just watch you suffer. The person beside you is called Nico. Not only is he a muse, but he is also born with bad luck. We all call him Unlucky Nico. Anyone who comes into contact with him too often or for too long will be infected with bad luck.

Hearing Wang Fu’s words, not only did Nico not show any signs of anger, but he also cooperated.

Ning Shi sensed that the relationship between the two was not simple.

At the same time, he sighed in his heart at how awesome the game system was. It arranged for such a reclusive identity. He had met so many people on the way, but no one recognized him at all.

If he wasn’t wearing the uniform of the orphanage, he would have been kicked out.

He had searched high and low for her, but now he had found him. Since he had met the quest target, Nico, by chance, he would not avoid him.

He smiled at Wang Fu and said, “It’s fine. I’m a rather unlucky person. Anything that happens to me is my own fault. It has nothing to do with anyone else.”

After saying that, Ning Shi did not look at Nico. Instead, he picked up the three books in front of him and began to read.

Although the task given by the system was to be friends with Nico, Ning Shi knew that haste makes waste. If he was too enthusiastic, he would only scare Nico.

It was their first time meeting each other. It was enough to leave a certain impression in Nico’s heart.

Ning Shi’s method was very effective. Seeing that Ning Shi was not afraid of him and was really sitting beside her reading a book, Nico became interested in Ning Shi.

He wanted to speak to Ning Shi several times, but he found that Ning Shi was completely immersed in the book, so he didn’t disturb him.

Ning Shi stayed in the reading room for a long time, reading more than a dozen books in a hurry. Finally, he understood the general situation of the Titanium Pole World.

The technology of the Titanium Pole World was extremely advanced. The humans there had already broken free of the shackles of the planet and begun exploring space. They also carried out cruel interstellar colonization.

In the Titanium Pole World, there were many planets suitable for life and reproduction, giving birth to a variety of species and humans with different characteristics.

The muse was one of them.

The muse originated from the Red Water Planet, and the planet was named after a huge winding red river.

The appearance of this race was exactly the same as that of humans. The reason why they were listed as a branch of humans, and some scholars even believed that the muse were not humans, was because they had two major characteristics.

One of the characteristics was that the muse was a race that reproduced asexually. There was no distinction between males and females in this race, and their way of reproduction was very special.

The muse had an ability that allowed them to predict the end of their lifespan in advance. When the end of their lifespan was near, they would return to their ancestral land.

When the elderly died in the ancestral land, a random number of newborns would be born.

If one was unlucky, one person’s death would only give birth to one newborn. If one was lucky, one person’s death would give birth to three to four newborns.

As for what kind of magical power the ancestral land had, and how to use the death of the old in exchange for the birth of new life, the book did not say anything, so Ning Shi was not clear.

This method of reproduction not only required the death of the elderly but also depended on luck to determine the number of newborns. In addition, a large number of muse people died due to various accidents and could not die in the ancestral land.

As a result, the population of the muse had not been able to increase.

When the humans on the origin planet discovered the muse, their entire population was about 100,000.

When the people of the origin planet met the muse, they quickly discovered the second characteristic of the muse.

It turned out that the muse was not completely genderless. When they fell in love with an outsider, their own gender would gradually change according to the person.

This change completely depended on the sexual orientation of the lover.

It did not mean that a muse would turn into a woman just because he fell in love with a man. It was possible that the man he loved had a unique preference.

Moreover, after the muse had confirmed their gender, they would exude an amazing charm. Regardless of whether they were men or women, their looks were enough to cause a disaster for the country.
