Chapter 3410: Apologize

Ning Shu clicked open the message sent by the qipao man.

He asked directly how Ning Shu had gotten into a conflict with Hong Yu.

Ning Shu replied casually, [What? Are you going to persuade me to apologize to her?]

Qipao Man: [I didn’t say you should apologize to her. It’s normal for task-takers to have conflicts. People make enemies during tasks for all sorts of reasons. I just didn’t expect you two to clash so soon.]

Ning Shu raised an eyebrow. [So, you predicted this long ago.]

Qipao Man: [Isn’t it obvious? Your ordinance imprint was practically reserved for Hong Yu.]

Ning Shu clicked her tongue. [So, Hong Yu is quite domineering.]

Qipao Man: [She isn’t weak, plus she has strong backing. The reason she’s always been suppressed by Ah Wan is that Ah Wan is the embodiment of the fire ordinance. If Hong Yu obtained the water ordinance, there would be no saying who is stronger between her and Ah Wan.]

Ning Shu just wanted to roll her eyes. If she had the skill, she should go comprehend it herself. An ordinance Ning Shu had comprehended was tacitly assumed to belong to Hong Yu—as if once Hong Yu grabbed it, it would be hers.

Damn it, this ordinance imprint was turning out to be a bit of a hot potato.

Whether it was Ning Shu or anyone else who comprehended the water ordinance, they wouldn’t escape the fate of being targeted by Hong Yu.

Ning Shu asked the qipao man, [Did you look for me for anything else besides this?]

Qipao Man: [No, I just wanted to see if you pissed yourself from fear. It seems your state is better than I imagined. If you couldn’t even guard your own things, you’d be too useless.]

Ning Shu: [Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Space, Time, Light, Darkness… Aren’t these ordinances more powerful? Why doesn’t she go rob you? She’s just bullying the rookie.]

Qipao Man: [She doesn’t dare. And I’m not afraid of her backing. If we really fought, it wouldn’t matter even if I killed Hong Yu.]

Ning Shu gave a thumbs up. Very impressive. Having strength really meant being domineering.

Qipao Man: [Do you want to be my girlfriend? I carry some weight around here, you know.]

Ning Shu: …

Even through the screen, Ning Shu could feel his overwhelming slutty energy.

The qipao man was surely fanning himself rapidly right now.

Ning Shu hadn’t forgotten the qipao man’s evaluation of her.

The qipao man’s requirements were truly low. He just needed to find a ‘female.’

Ning Shu was silent for a moment before saying, [You shouldn’t limit your gaze to females. You can totally find a male.]

Qipao Man: […What do you mean?]

Ning Shu: [Boyfriend, girlfriend—it’s just a label. For transcendent beings like us, there is no need for reproduction. Male or female, it doesn’t matter.]

Qipao Man: [Go to hell. I’m going to help Hong Yu kill you.]

Ning Shu shrugged. He always wanted to stop being single, yet he could never take that step. She wondered if he had some psychological issue.

He only dared to be all talk. The moment it got real, he wilted.

‘What a coward,’ Ning Shu gloated inwardly.

However, for two people to be together meant bearing the weight of each other’s lives. It was too heavy, and also too sacred.

It meant striving to become better, and making the other person better too.

Ning Shu opened the ordinance embodiment chat group. Seeing they were still discussing the matter—and it seemed to be fermenting and intensifying—Ning Shu felt quite relaxed as the protagonist of the discussion.

She certainly wouldn’t cry, because… the bitches would laugh.

She reached out and pulled the Unsurpassable Martial Arts manual from the bookshelf. She needed to construct a world quickly.

Just having an ordinance imprint was useless. Having a world that belonged to her—that was the right path.

Ning Shu looked at the Unsurpassable Martial Arts manual. For some reason, she felt like crying.

She hugged the manual to her chest. It had been with her from the very beginning until now.

She had relied on it.

When she dug it out from the bottom of a box, the Unsurpassable Martial Arts manual had been moldy.

Ning Shu hoped the manual could become a world—a world possessing a Heavenly Dao, capable of evolving on its own and nurturing all living things.

It was also for her own sake.

Suddenly, she felt a bit nostalgic. She recalled the bitterness of the past to appreciate the sweetness of what she had now.

Ning Shu smiled. Her face bloomed with a soft radiance, and the water drop on her forehead flashed with a gentle, non-glaring luster.

From having nothing to her name to struggling until now… Ning Shu felt very satisfied. The future was still long, very long.

Ning Shu placed the Unsurpassable Martial Arts manual back on the shelf, pulled out another book, and sat on the sofa to read.

Let the waves surge in the chat group. She had blocked her information anyway. When she was on a task, the others couldn’t locate her.

Even if they wanted to cause trouble, they wouldn’t find anyone. Let them die of anger.

Ning Shu tilted her head, resting her chin on her hand, and looked at the black hole on the wall. The black hole rotated slowly. One couldn’t see the end of it.

Its darkness could swallow everything.

Ning Shu said to 2333, “This hole is getting noticeably bigger. I think it’s crazy.”

2333: …

“I think so too. It is crazy.”

Ning Shu rubbed her face and sighed helplessly.

What the hell was this thing?

She was being seriously dragged down by this thing. She couldn’t remember how long it had been since she met an entrustor in advance.

She was afraid that if the entrustor came in, they would be swallowed by the black hole. That would be a disaster.

To avoid such a situation, she didn’t receive entrustors in the system space.

Consequently, she couldn’t communicate with entrustors face-to-face. Face-to-face communication allowed her to better understand what the entrustor was thinking and what their needs were.

Ning Shu looked up at the bright and melancholy sky at a 45-degree angle.

True warriors dare to face the bleakness of life.

Ning Shu felt she was about to evolve into Ultraman.

Ning Shu opened the system exchange marketplace and browsed slowly, page by page. She realized there were simply too many things in the system exchange marketplace. It really had everything.

It was all-encompassing. There were all kinds of strange and peculiar items.

How much money did this system exchange marketplace earn every day?

With so many task-takers, even if each person exchanged for just one item, the sales volume would be terrifying.

Ning Shu’s first reaction upon seeing anything now was, ‘Wow, how much does this cost?’

After seeing so much, she would look at an item and think about the profits generated behind it.

Most importantly, she was constantly thinking about her tax revenue.

Ning Shu asked 2333, “When can I get my money?”

“Calculated according to the time in the ordinance space, the funds are credited every half year.”

“Do I go door-to-door to ask for it?” Ning Shu asked hesitantly.

“You can ask for it yourself, or you can ask the main system directly. The main system collects the taxes for you and then gives them to you,” 2333 said.

Ning Shu rubbed her hands together, blinking as she asked, “I can go collect it myself? If I collect it myself, can I ask for as much as I want?”

“Oh, there is a document sent from above regarding that. Taxes have a fluctuation range. Some small extra benefits are permitted. You can ask for more taxes from those shops, but there is a limit,” 2333 said.

“Some city lords collect more, some collect less. For the more powerful fundamental ordinances where the city has high foot traffic, the taxes are higher. It’s decided based on the prosperity of the city.”
