Chapter 29: My little sister, Lyra.
Evan was simply amazed by his findings,
‘I definitely didn’t waste my money.’
He said to himself inwardly.
[I am glad you liked it, host. You can take a look at it if you want. One more thing, host, you can expand this place and things in there as well, but you can’t expand things like spiritual energy, herbs quantity, weapons, but you can change time dilation inside this space.]
‘But doing so will cost me points, right?’
Evan said, beginning to get a little frausted with his stingy system.
[Yep, but it won’t cost much. But if you can learn the Time law, then things might change, you won’t need the system points to change the time of this place.]
‘Time law, huh? But I don’t think it’s that easy to master, right?’
[Then pay the points, simple right?]
Evan thought, it would just be a hassle and wasn’t worth it to keep talking with the system, so he just walked away without saying anything.
After coming out from the hall, he strolled around the sect.
He just his ability to see the end of the sect, and was shocked to find that the sect’s area was 10000 km².
“This is so big, it might be able to handle even a million people…”
[If it’s just living on the sect, then it might be possible, but the spiritual energy won’t be enough, you can see right the faint wisps of energy. They are the pure form of energy that’s been generated by the spiritual veins.]
The system said like a proud dealer, glorifying the land that it has just sold.
Evan didn’t speak even now, after listening to the system, he confirmed what these wisps of energy surrounding him were. They are the spiritual energy that can be found in the surroundings.
[Though, they are not the purest yet. As you have just bought the sect, the spiritual veins here are also new, so it will take some time for it to cover the entire sect and become purer, but you can increase its efficiency by adding some more spiritual veins. But if you want faster results and the purest spiritual energy, then you will need the world tree for that. It is the only thing in the universe that can create the purest form of spiritual energy.]
The name of the world tree intrigued him, so he asked, “World tree..? Can I buy it in the system?”
[Sorry, host. But you should get the thought of buying a world tree out of mind. It costs 100,000,000,000 points to buy it. Know your place… you are stingy for a mere 10,000.]
The system said though it said the last line as if a human was muttering something, but Evan could still read it clearly.
His face turned red with anger,
“You fucking… you are getting annoying now.” Evan couldn’t control himself and finally said it.
The system also sneered and said,
[Don’t call me annoying just because you can’t buy it. Besides, you buying something from system store benefits you and me both. I am just helping you.]
“Yeah, yeah, I am poor, laugh if you want.”
[Why would I laugh at you, host? You and me are interconnected now, only death can separate us. So I am just trying to help you, don’t take it in the wrong way.]
Evan didn’t utter a single word after that and continued to roam around the sect, if he was a normal human, he probably wouldn’t have visited every part of the sect, but his speed was incredible now, he could easily reach anywhere he wanted in the sect in just a matter of seconds.
He visited all the places that the system mentioned, the training hall, alchemy hall, weapon manufacturing hall, and herb garden, but they were all empty.
But they were all empty, herb garden didn’t have a single herb, the alchemy hall didn’t have a single pill, and there wasn’t a single weapon at the weapon manufacturing hall as well, but all of them had the necessary things needed for each hall, just no manpower to make anything.
The training hall was the only thing that was a bit different, it included a big platform at the center, and it was more like a colosseum. Besides that, there were many places where people could sit and absorb the spiritual energy. It was the only place where the spiritual energy was the densest in the sect as the spiritual veins were just beneath it.
Evan also visited each chamber and he had to say,
“It is indeed a good sect. The only thing it lacks is the member. Hey system, do you have the stone-like thing to judge people’s meridian or qualifications?”
[Have you gone nuts host? You can just see their potential.]
Evan sighed before he answered to the system,
“Sigh, I am the sect leader, I can’t just stand at the gate checking everyone’s potential, right?”
[Ah… you can find them inside the sect’s storage. It has some spiritual stones and potential judging stones as well and some basic things like some cultivation scriptures and all.]
‘At least you have something and I don’t need to buy it…’
Evan thought inwardly but forgot that the system could still hear him.
[I can hear you!!]
He scratched his cheeks as the situation became a bit awkward, but he directed his attention to something else.
“It’s enough tour of this place, I should return now.”
The tattoo on his hands glowed faintly and he was again inside his room.
Returning to his room, he first stopped using the time chamber and put it inside the system store, and he was about to head downstairs when the system stopped him.
[Don’t move, host. Let me seal your stats for now otherwise, you might destroy this entire planet. That time chamber was protecting this place from crumbling down to dust with your strength till now. I will set your stats at 30 for now and once you get used to it, I will gradually unseal more.]
Before Evan could say anything, the system worked by itself and sealed his stats.
Evan felt his never ending power leaving his body and he felt like he was hollowed out from inside.
[Done. You can move now host.]
Evan didn’t say anything and left his room and headed downstairs.
After reaching the kitchen area, he saw a cute little princess-like girl sitting on the chair and watching TV.
She had purple curly hair cascading down to her back, and a cute little face that was showing her innocence. Her eyes shimmering with curiosity and joy while watching the TV made Evan feel a sensation he never felt before, it was the feeling of protection he felt towards her.
She was his little sister, Lyra.
