Chapter 354: Buying One’s Own Things

Chapter 354: Buying One’s Own Things

Anyway, whether it was bribery or not, this was still the result of his own guess. Maybe it wasn’t compensation, but complementation? Right now, aside from lacking fangs and bat wings, Lily was almost like a little vampire. Demon Sword Cultists also needed to drink blood to grow, just in a different form. Perhaps it was Lily’s unique traits that caught the eye of the Demonic Sword Evil God.

As for how the Demonic Sword Evil God could know this, Zheng Yichen thought about it. It seemed it was because she had once come into contact with a magic sword projection.

“Work hard. Try not to use the Demonic Sword Evil God’s power if you can, just treat it as a soul substitute. I’m heading back now.” Zheng Yichen let go of the claw that was patting Lily’s head. “Don’t be afraid if you encounter danger. If anyone dares to lay a hand on you, an army will charge right over immediately.”

Watching Zheng Yichen’s projection vanish into the Magic Weapon Summoning Book, Lily felt a warm feeling in her heart. This feeling of being cared for… it really felt good.

“Hmm… this thing?” In the Underground Base, Zheng Yichen squinted slightly, looking at a faint wisp of purple Evil God’s Power in the center of his claw. After thinking for a moment, he grabbed this wisp of Evil God’s Power and slapped it into the extracted Magic Sword’s main body. This faint wisp of Evil God’s Power naturally fused into the Magic Sword. The entire process didn’t have the slightest ripple, just like a drop of clear water merging into another basin of water.

“Just as I thought.” Zheng Yichen, with a serious expression, stuffed the Magic Sword’s main body back into his Personal Space. Even though he had discovered some clues, he didn’t want to deal with it now… A missing Soul meant that even if Lily could become stronger physically, as if using cheats, it was ultimately just physical strength.

Her inner self seemed flawless, yet it was fragile and empty. Now, having a substitute meant that to some extent, some of Lily’s own flaws were repaired, making it much more convenient for her to become stronger or in other aspects. Keep it for now… If this was the Demonic Sword Evil God’s open scheme, Zheng Yichen just wanted to say: You succeeded, you rascal.

“Is the matter resolved?” When Zheng Yichen returned to his bedroom, it was almost dawn the next day. Loris was sitting on the edge of that big bed that allowed endless bouncing and tumbling around, hugging a pillow. It was clear she had been waiting for him.

“It’s fine now. Let’s go to sleep quickly.”

Sleeping together with a Loli… As a dragon, Zheng Yichen stated that this was purely innocent sleeping together!

At daybreak, Oss, who got up early every day to train, noticed light coming from one of the tents nearby. It made him somewhat puzzled. That tent was Lena’s tent. How should he put it? If there wasn’t anything special to do, Lena usually got up very late. If it wasn’t something important, she would sit in the passenger seat when driving, especially after Oss learned to drive; she did this even more frequently.

Once, Oss couldn’t help but ask why she always seemed so tired during the day. Lena’s answer was simple: she couldn’t resist browsing certain ‘serialized novels’ on the Magic Weapon Forum at night, or she would go online shopping again. Normal sleeping time was usually after midnight…

Well, the division of time periods now also had an explanation: the hourly system. And the place where this time division first appeared was the Magic Weapon Forum. When it had just appeared, some people were still confused about why there was a strange number in the lower right corner of the Magic Weapon Summoning Book when reading posts.

Some people couldn’t help but ask the very approachable Creator. The Creator’s answer was simple: it was a way to measure time. After using numbers, it was simple and clear to distinguish. Although Zheng Yichen had considered creating a set of time methods like ‘Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si…’, thinking about it, it was a bit complicated, so he adopted the numerical style.

At least with the numerical time method, every moment looked very clear. The Magic Weapon Summoners who learned this compared it a bit and suddenly discovered, wow, this new way of telling time looked really simple and clear. It was much easier to use than the existing set in this world. Once familiar with it, one could precisely state every minute of the current time period—just say XX o’clock, XX minute. But with the Otherworld’s time measurement system, it took a long sentence to be accurate to such a fine degree.

The Otherworld’s calculation method was only reflected in large time units; minutes and seconds were rarely used, since who would stare at timers like hourglasses for no reason?

So this way of observing time became popular! Nowadays, not to mention commoners knowing about it, at the very least, all Magic Weapon Summoners definitely knew about this new time measurement method. Even some Nobles and royalty had begun adopting this method, because it was really too convenient…

What made Zheng Yichen a bit unhappy was… he was a step slow regarding watches. At the time, he hadn’t thought about this aspect. When he occasionally remembered it, someone had already made something similar to Earth’s ‘watches’. Even if the style was a bit different from Earth’s, they were still watches, and the accuracy was quite high!

The wonder of Magic was evident here. Science? That thing was just dismantled by Magic.

Anyway, seeing that Lena’s tent was still lit, Oss’s first thought was whether this woman might have been addicted to the Magic Weapon Summoning Book last night and hadn’t slept at all?

Thinking about it, that was quite possible. After hesitating for a while, Oss still didn’t disturb Lena. He went to an open area himself to do his daily training. The first thing to train was control over his Bloodline Power. Bloodline Power was not only reflected in attacks but could also be used for many precise operations.

Precise operations also greatly improved attack effectiveness. As for the trouble of anemia from frequent use of Bloodline Power? Oss had bookmarked a very good Online Store where he could always buy large amounts of fresh blood…

Besides that, it was about mastering and using another type of power within his body. Oss now had a clear understanding of that power. This power had characteristics of the Holy Element evolved from the Light Element. That was the main reason why this power and his own Bloodline Power, when used together, would cause additional consumption.

The additional consumption was consumed on internal friction. However, what puzzled him was: even though it was an Evil God’s power, it didn’t produce an explosive, tinder-to-flame reaction with this Holy Element type of power. When anyone had both dark and light powers in their body, they should have exploded long ago.

This Holy Element power also contained part of the Thunder Element. Although the Thunder Element wasn’t part of the Light Element, it also had a considerable restraining effect on Dark Element powers. Having both was a cumulative enhancement, and it could additionally improve attack effects. That was the lightning-type ‘shocking’ attack he produced when using such power, which had great lethality against evil beings.

Additionally, there was another characteristic of concentrated power. This made his own attacks more focused and effective. Oss had already tested it. Also, when driving this power, he would have high resistance to negative-type attacks.

These were basically the main features of this power.

What Oss regretted was that he wasn’t a Spellcaster. If he were a Spellcaster, relying on this power’s concentration effect could obviously bring much greater improvement. But he could only use it on Blood Essence. And Blood Essence itself was a state of concentrated enhancement when strengthening oneself. Adding power concentration only increased Oss’s burst point. Blood Essence strengthening oneself had an upper limit.

Beyond this limit, the surplus Blood Essence would overflow, wasted. But now, using the power concentration characteristic, he could increase this limit by two to three times. It was a rare burst method. Of course, the consequence was… he couldn’t handle this consumption.

“Whew…” Gathering the Blood Essence radiating from his body, Oss rubbed his eyes and returned to the resting place. After finishing his training, the sky was beginning to brighten. Lena also came out of the tent, breathing in the fresh outside air, though the sleepiness on her face couldn’t be hidden at all. However, a look of pleasant surprise could be seen on her face.

“What’s wrong? So happy?” Oss asked. Could it be that she read a serialized novel in some post and got too excited, making her this happy?

“I grabbed a great item!”

“Ah? What great item? I really envy you people who have the Magic Weapon Summoning Book.” Gale crawled out of his own tent and asked curiously.

Lena didn’t speak, just opened the Magic Weapon Summoning Book and let Oss and the others take a look. The page it stayed on was an Online Store related to a Witch!

Well… an Online Store opened by a Witch. In the past, others wouldn’t dare to think about it. But now, this kind of special Online Store had indeed appeared. The Sanctuary Church could do nothing about it. The Creator had already expressed that he was only a platform provider here. As long as others weren’t doing bad things, they could all use this platform, including Witches!

Those Witches opening Online Stores to sell things on it, without doing anything to harm the world, why should they be killed without a second word?

Regarding this, the Sanctuary Church was helpless. If they knew the Creator’s identity, the problem definitely wouldn’t be in the current state of turning a blind eye. Therefore, they could only focus on monitoring these Online Stores closely. Fortunately, so far, there were very few Online Stores related to Witches. After all, Witches weren’t people who liked to show off. When opening an Online Store, they didn’t have to reveal their identity, but doing so made verification more difficult. Without a trust certification, when encountering items of the same type, people would definitely choose Online Stores that had trust certification.

Currently, there were only two Witches’ Online Stores in the Trading Zone… The first was Annie’s, and the second was Dan Marina’s. Neither were Witches who were easygoing or easy to target. Lena was showing them Dan Marina’s Online Store… buying her own items from her own Online Store and having to put on an excited expression—there was no one else like her.
