Boundless Land
He got back much faster than when he arrived. Excited, Lin Nieran returned to Lily Hospital in just ten minutes after picking up Flower Language.
They didn't actually go into the hospital; they just found an empty house nearby to stay in.
As for the Master of the house... oh no, the master of the underworld?
It's tied up tightly with Flower Language and hung at the doorway, swinging on a swing.
"It's pretty fast, but it's a bit rough on the butt," Lin Nieran commented on Flower Language's "Thorns Seat".
The Flower Language's meaning is profound. "I understand what my Feeder means." Next time you kill someone, leave some roses behind; sitting on rose petals shouldn't be uncomfortable.
Moonlit Night smiled gently and said, "Master, I can carry you around too."
"Then forget it." Lin Nieran decisively refused and eagerly opened the system.
Flower Language chuckled smugly, Moonlit Night glared at her unhappily, the long knife in his hand itching to strike.
They killed two Class A Weird, and the system rewarded them with 20,000 Points. Combined with the previous 58,500 points, their current Points balance has reached an astonishing 78,500 points.
Lin Nieran took out the two Bronze Horse- Weird Object and handed them to the system for scanning.
[Anomaly detected: Bronze Horse, recommended recycling Points: 52000]
"Only this much for Class A Weird?" Lin Nieran grabbed the system ball flying in the air. "007, do you have any explanation to offer?"
[Host, calm down. This Class A Weird is the lowest among A-Rank anomalies. Anomalies without their own world generally have low levels and low energy, hence the low Points.]
"But that B-Rank Playing Card was worth 50,000 before, this is A-Rank, the price should be higher, system."
[System recalculation in progress...]
[The recommended Points for recycling the Bronze Horse Weird Object is 53,000 points. Recycle it?]
007 adds: [This is the most affordable price.]
"It didn't rise much, but it's better than nothing." Lin Nieran, seeing an opportunity, patted the small ball. "Let's collect one first."
It seems that these recycling prices are not fixed and there is room for price fluctuation.
Two A-Class Weird Object are extremely valuable. Exchanging one is enough for now, and he plans to keep the other one for later use. He always needs to have some decent Weird Object around.
Moreover, one of the uses of this Bronze Horse is transportation. You won't need to take Taxi anymore when you go out. This A-Rank Bronze Horse is much faster than a car, which can save you a lot of money.
[Recycling successful, your points Points is 131,500]
Over 130,000! That's enough!
Lin Nieran said impatiently, "System, open the temporary shop and exchange for Dimensional Territories."
[Exchange successful! Your balance is 31,500 points]
The Points disappeared, and a parchment scroll appeared from thin air, landing in Lin Nieran's palm.
[Host, the system shop has less than 24 hours left. Your Fame balance is 164,030 points. You have accumulated enough reputation for four temporary shop opening/refresh times. The next time you activate the temporary shop, you will need 320,000 Fame points.]
[Do you want to use one opportunity to renew the temporary store duration?]
Refresh?
Lin Nieran opened the shop and found a button to refresh the quantity above the limited-time discounted items; there were four refreshes remaining.
He can use these four attempts to generate four temporary shops, or refresh the inventory with four new discounted items!
This is great stuff!
Unfortunately, he didn't have many Points left, so he had to save them up to avoid being unable to exchange for new items when they became available.
He looked at the Dimensional Pocket times with reluctance, then exchanged it for two more Luck Cards, Points with only a little over 10,000 points.
[Luck Card
Item Description: A card coveted by all creatures
Note: You'll receive Lady Luck's favor for five minutes.
Required Points: 10000
"Points are really hard to use." Lin Nieran sighed, holding two pink cards. Upgrading the system requires another 100,000 Points, which is still far from enough. His Fame is also lacking, so there probably won't be a way to upgrade the system in the short term.
After closing the temporary shop, he looked at the scroll he had bought for 100,000 Points.
Dimensional Territory
Item Description: Creates a Dimensional Space that only you can open, allowing you to establish your Dimensional Territory.
Note: The size of your territory is as big as your heart!
Required Points: 100,000 (Limited-time offer: 0.01% off)
[Use generated Dimensional Territory?]
A system pop-up notification appeared, Lin Nieran asked 007, "Is this territory fixed or random?"
[It was randomly selected]
"What a rip-off!" Luckily, he didn't generate it rashly. If he'd generated a bunch of ruins, he'd be devastated.
Lin Nieran understood the system's nature; it wouldn't cheat him, but it also wouldn't actively help him, focusing primarily on official business.
"System, use a Luck Card."
[Successfully used]
A Luck Card slowly cracked open, and a fine, dense pink halo enveloped Lin Nieran, making every breath feel incredibly comfortable and natural.
Lin Nieran spread his hands, and the wind around him seemed to be adjusting the temperature to be the most comfortable for him.
He suddenly had a hunch that he would be able to achieve his wish.
"Generate Dimensional Territory!"
As he finished speaking, the Dimensional Territory Scroll exploded, and a black rift sucked him in along with Moonlit Night and Flower Language, who were watching nearby.
[Dimensional Territory generating...]
[Generation successful! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Boundless Land]
After a dizzying spin, two mechanical voices pulled Lin Nieran back to his senses.
He felt a lightness all over his body, and the ground beneath his feet was no longer hard paving stones, but white soil with a delicate and calming floral fragrance.
Lin Nieran looked up in astonishment. Layer upon layer of strange trees grew intertwined, each reaching straight to the sky. The trunks of these trees were brown, but the leaves were white. White spots of light covered the hem of his clothes, making him look both sacred and dazzling.
On the left, however, lies a completely different, dark scene: solidified, dark earth, plants covered in unidentified Crystals, a crimson sky, and a bloody, terrifying atmosphere.
He was standing at the boundary between the two; Moonlit Night stood on the white boundary, and Flower Language stood on the black boundary.
Looking up, the land seemed exceptionally vast, with both the sky and the earth giving him a sense of boundless emptiness.
Is this his Dimensional Space?
"It feels like I've traveled to another world?" Lin Nieran asked, looking at the flying 007.
[Host, this is another world, a failed world where no life exists.]
"Would our world end up like this if it failed?"
[Host, the level of this world before its defeat was much higher than the level of your current world.]
007 truly lives up to his reputation as a high-level employee; he always knows how to speak eloquently. The implication is that their world isn't good enough for him.
Perhaps after their world fails, it will simply vanish into the myriad worlds.
Lin Nieran didn't have any superfluous thoughts of feeling sorry for someone who had failed. If it really couldn't be saved... then so be it. There was still hope for everything; it wasn't time to be pessimistic.
