Chapter 3705: Lord

But the silver-haired man simply wouldn't hand over the taxes. He just kept withholding them. He really had no asshole.

Right now, Ning Shu just wanted to grab the money and run as fast as she could. Staying here for even one more second was an extra second of torture.

Ning Shu was genuinely afraid that the adjudicator would suddenly pop out and then she would be killed.

Damn it, couldn't he be a little considerate of how anxious a person felt?

Ning Shu really wanted to grab the silver-haired man by the neck and strangle this bastard to death.

"Give me the money. Give me the money. Give me the money," Ning Shu said directly. She wasn't going to beat around the bush with him anymore. She was just here to demand money.

Ever since she threw away her pride, her entire being felt much more relaxed.

The silver-haired man looked at Ning Shu. "Do not be so impatient."

"Of course I'm impatient. It's not like you're the one about to die," Ning Shu said with some annoyance. "If you think I'm too impatient, you don't have to open your consultation room here. That way, I'll never come looking for you to collect taxes ever again."

"I already told you not to be impatient. Exchange your taxes for information. I guarantee you'll get your money's worth," the silver-haired man said.

Ning Shu: …

"I don't want to exchange. Give me the money." Ning Shu felt like her entire body was covered in prickling needles. She was very uncomfortable. To put it bluntly, she was scared. She felt weak. She was terrified that the adjudicator would suddenly pop out.

The silver-haired man silently looked at Ning Shu, with his pale fingers interlaced. He watched Ning Shu acting like a monkey, scratching her ears and cheeks in anxiety.

Ning Shu: Holy crap…

Why was it so hard to collect some taxes? In the future, every single cent had to be spent where it mattered most. Thinking about the blood and tears she shed during the tax collection process, Ning Shu only wanted to say that since he was making her uncomfortable and refusing to make things easy for her now, he shouldn't blame her for causing trouble for him later.

She refused to believe that they would never have to beg her for a favor in the future.

Ning Shu sat on the threshold and stared at the silver-haired man expressionlessly. Neither of them spoke. The silver-haired man was the first to speak. "I will be charging you for the time you spend here."

"I'm here to collect money, not for a consultation." Ning Shu rolled her eyes.

"Entering this place means you are billed by the hour," the silver-haired man said. "Do you want to exchange your taxes for information?"

Ning Shu: …

Hehehe…

The silver-haired man ignored the sneering Ning Shu and directly said, "Every task-taker who constructs a world needs to connect to a reincarnation world. You should know this, right? If you construct it successfully, it can only be considered a complete world once it's connected to the lord's reincarnation world. Moreover, it has to be a world with living beings. Do you understand?"

Ning Shu: "Not really."

The silver-haired man glanced at Ning Shu and continued, "It means that the world you construct, just like the billions of planes, needs to connect to the lord's reincarnation world. This way, living beings can reincarnate. There will be life and death."

Ning Shu let out an ‘oh’ and asked, "Does the world you constructed connect to the lord's reincarnation world?"

"Yes." The silver-haired man nodded. "Reincarnation worlds are also born from the ordinance sea, and there are just as many of them as there are billions of planes."

Yin and Yang were two sides of the same coin. Only with the existence of reincarnation worlds could living beings experience life and death and undergo reincarnation.

Ning Shu rolled her eyes around and asked, "Is the lord the person in charge of the reincarnation world?"

"Yes. In life, ‘one dwells in Chang'an, and in death, one enters Mount Tai.’ Ordinary people call him the lord of Mount Tai." The silver-haired man answered whatever Ning Shu asked.

Wasn't the lord of Mount Tai the mountain god of Mount Tai?

Alright, she shouldn't take certain things too literally.

"Haha, information like this is actually worth my taxes? Don't forget, you still seem to owe me three free questions. I still have one left right now," Ning Shu said, the corners of her mouth twitching.

"I can give you the lord's contact information," the silver-haired man said. "Once your world is successfully constructed and has living beings, connect it to the reincarnation world."

"There's no need. I've already constructed a reincarnation world." Ning Shu held out her hand. "Give me the money. The information you gave me is something I don't need at all."

The silver-haired man raised his eyebrows. "You've constructed a reincarnation world?"

Ning Shu nodded. "So give me the money."

Ning Shu was truly terrified that the adjudicator would suddenly appear.

The silver-haired man said, "Come inside. No one can do anything to you."

"No, the air is better at the door."

It was easy for him to say. It wasn't like he was the one being hunted down.

The silver-haired man threw a piece of paper at Ning Shu. Ning Shu caught the paper between two fingers. It seemed to be a business card. There were only two words on it, ‘The Lord,’ followed by some contact information.

Using these things to evade taxes. I despise you.

However, Ning Shu still tucked the contact information away. The silver-haired man asked Ning Shu, "Have you really constructed a reincarnation world?"

"Give me my taxes and I'll tell you." Ning Shu sat on the threshold, stretching out her hand to ask the silver-haired man for money like a beggar asking for alms.

Ning Shu was so frustrated. Did he have any morals? Shouldn't he be paying his taxes?

She really wanted to smack the silver-haired man in the face with a copy of the Tao Te Ching.

"I'll consider this question a freebie for you." The silver-haired man took out his identity card and swiped the taxes over to Ning Shu.

The moment Ning Shu saw the money the silver-haired man transferred, she nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood. What the heck was this? One hundred merit points.

Ning Shu looked at the silver-haired man expressionlessly. "I am genuinely angry now. Is this how you play people?"

The silver-haired man said faintly, "My business is poor. This tax amount is correct. You can check it."

Ning Shu twitched the corners of her mouth. "You're so shady, yet you only have this tiny bit of taxes. Who are you trying to fool?"

Mei Ziqing had only sat here for a short while and had been extorted out of several point cards.

Would someone this stingy really be dead broke?

"Then why do you open branch stores everywhere?" Ning Shu asked in disbelief.

"It is precisely because I don't get many people that I need to open branch stores everywhere," the silver-haired man said mildly.

Ning Shu deeply suspected that this person's reason for opening branch stores was to scam more people. This way, his chances of scamming someone would be much higher.

"Actually, my business is semi-charitable in nature. I offer guidance to lost task-takers, so I don't make much money," the silver-haired man said.

Ning Shu: Pfft…

She almost felt moved. Hehe…

The silver-haired man had constructed his own world, so he had faith and merit points provided by that world. This little bit of money truly meant nothing to him. But why the hell did he ruthlessly scam anyone he managed to catch?

Ning Shu felt that she was probably one of the people he had scammed.

"Have you really constructed a reincarnation world?" The silver-haired man seemed very fixated on the matter of the reincarnation world. Ning Shu nodded listlessly. After being terrified and tossed about so much, she had only managed to collect this tiny bit of tax. This feeling made Ning Shu genuinely want to strangle the silver-haired man to death.

"How is the evolution going?" the silver-haired man asked with his fingers interlaced.

Ning Shu shook her head. "Not very well. It hasn’t been that long since I constructed it. I'm leaving."

In that case, Tai Shu and the silver-haired man huddling together earlier wasn't about evading taxes. They were definitely discussing something else again.

The last time she saw these two people together, they had decided to completely obliterate task-takers who had failed too many tasks or had been killed in tasks too many times.

She was almost completely obliterated that time. What were they secretly discussing this time?

Ning Shu coughed and wanted to ask, but this wasn't something she should interfere in. Even if there was some new policy, she would find out sooner or later. Ning Shu closed her mouth.

She pretty much had no right to ask. Since she had no right to ask, she couldn't be bothered to ask. Asking would just make her obnoxious anyway.
