Chapter 1488: Arya’s System
Arya had a system solely focused on earning points by becoming popular. The points came not from her fame, but from her invention’s fame, based on how many of her inventions were bought and how much they earned.
From the age of 3 when her brain had grown enough for her to think everything clearly, she had gained access to the system with a few blueprints available to her.
She planned on making them all when she was old enough, but when her mother died just 2 years later in a house fire, Arya decided that she couldn’t wait for much longer.
If her inventions could save people, she would do so right away.
So, after the funeral, she decided to tell her father everything.
Zarius was shocked and confused at first, but Arya had always been a weird child. The new information simply explains why she was weird.
He accepted his daughter’s knowledge and wisdom and began working on the different inventions.
The beginning was difficult. With how little money they had, they couldn’t gather resources to create what needed to be created. There was also only a blueprint, leaving a lot for the person making it to try and figure out.
There was knowledge Arya could buy from the system, but it needed Research points, which she could only get once she sold a lot of her inventions and made a lot of money.
For 3 years, Zarius struggled to make the few inventions he had made previously. However. In the third year, he was approached by Jacob who had been passing by and wanted to sell what he had created.
Immediately, their sale had skyrocketed, allowing Arya to buy a lot more things from her system.
Zarius’ name had spread throughout the world in a matter of a decade, with Arya barely being able to do much. She continued learning, gaining new knowledge, and unlocking new blueprints.
By the time she was turning 18, she had made enough progress in her system that she could stop working at all, and everything would be alright.
However, every time she thought of stopping, she remembered her mother. Had there been a fire alarm, or a fire extinguisher, or a safer system for cooking, she would’ve still been alive.
Her mother was dead, but there were a lot more mothers and children who needed each other in the world. There were many others who deserved to live.
Now, she worked for them.
And more likely than not, she would work forever.
Arya finished telling her story to Ning.
Ning nodded as he listened, coming to understand the girl a little.
Zarius was furious on the side, having come back from the door after failing to call the guards. He wanted to beat Ning, but the lack of petrification on his body confused him.
And once his daughter began talking, he remained quiet.
“Papa, it’s alright,” Arya said. “He’s not here to hurt us.”
“That may be so, but I do not trust him just yet,” Zarius said. He had missed the part where Ning had told Arya exactly why he had come here.
To determine if they were using a system or not. Ning had decided not to tell Arya about Zurnius, since that would cause more questions.
And both Zarius and Arya were big enough a figure in the world, that Zurinus might even keep a close watch on them.
“Where were you from originally? Your other world,” Ning asked.
“My previous world? It was different from this one,” Arya said. “I was born on planet Lovaria of the Highstar Empire in the Govarial Galaxy.”
“It was a world far more developed and far more brutal than this one. Although, I suppose the brutality might be the same if we consider the scale of it and all.”
“The Govarial Galaxy?” Ning was a little surprised.
“We had the entire galaxy mapped out, so I fear this is not the galaxy I came from,” Arya said.
“I know this is not the one,” Ning said. “This is the Meghilaris Galaxy. Give me a moment.”
Ning closed his eyes for a moment before opening them.
“The Govarial galaxy is neighboring this, on the farther side, beyond the black hole,” Ning said. “Hmm… I might go there next.”
Arya’s eyes widened slightly. “What? Govarial is right next to this one?” she asked.
“Yes,” Ning said.
Arya felt jubilated for a moment before reality struck her and she lost all happiness. “That means nothing to me, unfortunately. One cannot just travel to another galaxy. We’ve tried before. The distance is just too far away.”
“I know,” Ning said.
The only way he could possibly take her to the other galaxy was to either put her in a cryo-chamber for millions of years or put her on Earth where she could cultivate and live long enough to see Ning reach the other galaxy.
Even so, enough time would’ve passed that everyone and everything she loved would’ve long since perished.
This would be a full-on tragedy that Ning did not want to put on the poor girl.
“Please tell me more about your system. Where are you from? Did you reincarnate here too?” Arya asked.
Ning told her that instead of reincarnating to this planet, he had transmigrated instead. He came here through a portal that was from a planet nearby.
He told her he had come here in search of someone, but did not tell who.
Zarius remained quiet the entire time, losing enough anger that he did not continuously seethe, but still angry enough that he glared at Ning.
The way Ning had snuck in had put him and his daughter in danger, and he would never forgive this man for that.
Ning did not care what Zarius thought of him and continued talking to Arya for some time before standing to leave.
“Oh right, don’t forget that we’ll be going to the Emperor’s birthday too. Don’t leave without us.”
Once he said that Ning gave a small bow and teleported away.
