Chapter 3700: Sword Fighting Across the Realm (39)

Qin Nianzhi didn’t know where she should go, nor did she know what she should do. The world was vast, yet she had no place to settle down.

Only then did Qin Nianzhi realize that perhaps the brothel was the place truly suited for her. She didn’t know how to do anything, much less sell herself as a servant. However, she had finally managed to escape that devil’s den, so she could not go back in.

Qin Nianzhi was very bewildered and terrified. However, by this time, Chong Xuefeng had already disappeared to who knows where.

In the end, she could only sell herself as a servant, entering a wealthy household to wait on others…

Qin Nianzhi used to be a young lady who never worried about food or drink. Now that she had to sell herself as a servant to wait on others, her internal struggle could be easily imagined. Furthermore, she would be a servant for the rest of her life, never again having the opportunity to change her fate.

Qin Nianzhi also didn’t know how things had developed to this point. She was originally a pampered young lady, but now she had nothing left. She was truly left with absolutely nothing.

Ning Shu turned off the video. Even if Qin Nianzhi caught the eye of the household’s master and became a concubine, she would still be deeply trapped in the inner courtyard for the rest of her life. Given Qin Nianzhi’s IQ, EQ, and capacity for creating unnecessary drama…

Ning Shu no longer cared about these matters. She asked 2333, “What if Qin Nianzhi is unwilling to accept this and requests a counterattack?”

“This kind of request will not be accepted. Their karma is fulfilled. For example, Situ Xun and Qin Nianzhi will not have the opportunity to counterattack. As long as their soul origin remains, though, they will have the opportunity to reincarnate and start over,” 2333 explained.

Ning Shu nodded, indicating she understood. She opened her attribute panel to see her harvest this time.

Rewards: 11 point tokens, 12 attribute points, 80% of soul power, 5,000 faith points (including accumulation from previous worlds.), 20 merit points.

80% soul power was quite a lot. It showed that this task was considered passable.

Fortunately, she had not killed Qin Nianzhi directly. She had been worried that Chong Xuefeng still harbored some unextinguished feelings for Qin Nianzhi.

As expected, Chong Xuefeng still wanted to see Qin Nianzhi. If he had returned to find a grave, imagine how unwilling his heart would be. Without asking about certain things clearly, a person will not give up hope.

Ning Shu added the 12 attribute points. The attribute points were quite numerous this time. There were actually twelve points.

The over one million faith points from before was gone. Now only over one hundred thousand remained. The over five hundred thousand merit points were now reduced to just tens of thousands.

2333 said, “You can go collect taxes.”

“Huh, it feels like it has not been long since the last time I collected taxes,” Ning Shu said with some surprise. This was way too fast.

“It has been a long time. It is just that you were doing a task. The passage of time within a task world is different from the time in the ordinane space,” 2333 said.

Oh yeah. Finally, I have money again.

Ning Shu cheered joyfully in her heart.

She went directly to the City of Water to collect taxes. First, she went to Si Tian’s auction house to see exactly how much the tax revenue from the auction house was, and to figure out how much tax the previous auctioneers had embezzled from her.

When she entered the auction house, Si Tian was already waiting for her. Upon seeing her, he cupped his hands in greeting and said, “The tax revenue for the auction house is 600,000 faith points, and 250,000 merit points for the casino. That makes it a total of 850,000 points.”

Ning Shu’s first reaction was that this was a lot of tax revenue. Her second reaction was, damn, the people at the previous auction house had truly embezzled a massive amount of her money.

Si Tian transferred the money to Ning Shu right in front of her. Ning Shu was extremely satisfied. She asked Si Tian, “Does the auction house have any world origins?”

Si Tian shook his head. “No. What are you missing? If there are any, I will help you keep an eye out. If it does not conflict with what I need, I will save it for you.”

Ning Shu immediately smiled and said, “Then thank you. I need a water world origin.”

From Si Tian’s words, Ning Shu also realized that Si Tian was currently constructing a world. Of course, he would definitely use whatever he needed first. If it didn’t conflict with him, perhaps he could save it for her. Si Tian was running an auction house, after all, so he certainly had his channels.

Si Tian thought for a moment, then said, “I will help you keep an eye out.”

Si Tian was still willing to do this small favor. Besides, selling a world origin to anyone was still selling it. Selling it to her would also earn him a bit of a favor.

Ning Shu came out of the auction house very satisfied, then went to a few other shops to collect taxes. Getting off to such a good start at Si Tian’s place was simply wonderful.

Only now did Ning Shu truly feel the preferential treatment of being the embodiment of the water ordinance, and the resources and confidence exchanged for through strength.
