Chapter 81: Talking by Oneself
He sighed at the expected response. He didn’t have much energy, so he instead opened the rulebook. Thankfully, it had a section about beast pouches.
A beast pouch that could store up to 2 tamed beasts of less than 200 Kilograms in total was given on entry to the sect.
“That’s not that bad. Even my interdimensional storage has around 110 kilograms of total weight. Although, I doubt I will need 200 kilograms worth of space for my Night. He barely weighs anything. I will just store him in my own storage,” he thought and tried to store Night away.
However, no matter how much he tried, he couldn’t pull Night in. “What? Why can’t I pull him in?” he wondered.
“Oh, that’s right. I forgot about it. I got used to the idea of storing my body that I forgot that was even a thing. So, I guess I really have to use the beast pouch huh?” he asked.
“I can? But I already have a beast pouch, so what’s the point?” he asked.
“Oh, that sounds good. How much does it cost?” Ning asked.
“That is surprisingly cheap, isn’t it. But what do you mean by a single beast space? Are there multiple?” he asked.
“I see. It’s cheaper than my interdimensional storage though. Although that just might be because I bought the time stopped version. Keep it on the top of my auto-buy list. I will buy it later on.”
“For now, you can sleep in the beast pouch, Night,” he said as he sent Night into his beast pouch.
“Oi idiot, why are you talking to yourself,” Ning heard someone say and turned around. It was the Yacius guy. It seemed he was still angry about the fact that he was humiliated before.
“Everyone, look at this idiot. He does nothing but talks to himself, Hahaha,” Yacius started saying out loud. By now, only the male group were left as they were being taken to their side of the outer sect residence.
‘Did he catch me speaking with the system? I should be more careful about it,’ Ning thought. “What do you want?” he asked Yacius.
“Haha, tell me, are you an idiot? Why were you talking all by yourself? You must have a problem in your head,” he said.
“Oh,” Ning said. He was a little ticked off and wanted to beat this guy up right now, but he controlled himself. Then, he asked him back, “What don’t you tell me first, then?”
“What? Tell you about what?” Yacius asked confused.
“Oh, tell me why you were talking all by yourself in the hall earlier?” Ning asked.
“What? I wasn’t talking by myself. I was talking with the girls earlier,” he said.
“Were you? I didn’t see any girls talking back to you though. Are you sure you’re not mistaken?” Ning asked.
Yacius started to get angry. He was about to say something to protect his image, when Ning spoke first and said, “Oh wait, I’m sorry. I was remembering wrong. You WERE talking with the girls. I even remember what they said back.”
Yacius’s face drained color as he could hear what Ning was going to say before he even said it. Immediately, he attacked Ning, trying to stop him from saying anything.
Ning, however, wasn’t phased by this. He simply sidestepped the attack and hit his leg to trip him to the ground. “Yeah, they said that they already had boyfriends and didn’t want to talk to you.”
“What? Did they say that? Haha,” the other people in the group started laughing after listening to this. Yacius started to get back up to attack Ning once more when the person in charge of their group intervened.
“If you two make any more ruckus, then I will make the elder expel you both,” he said.
“Haha, sorry about that brother,” Ning said.
Yacius too gritted his teeth as he apologized. Ning couldn’t imagine just how much he was hated by Yacius.
Soon, they reached the houses they were staying at. Ning was grouped together with 4 other disciples and made to stay in a single home. Thankfully, he didn’t have to share rooms like back in the orphanage so he was happy about that at least.
He went to his room and started learning the rulebook. He needed to gather as much energy as he could in the next few days to buy all the different things.
“I need to up my cap next. Sigh, it’s 10 billion, however. Do I just stop existing for a while in the sect to collect that amount?” he wondered. But he wasn’t going to do that. That would mean he couldn’t cultivate any more. Instead, he planned to increase his cultivation base a lot, while gathering his energy for doubling the cap.
“I can’t cultivate forever either now. I will need to stop and use the Yin to heat conversion technique, and the Yin to Sound conversion technique. 10 billion on both of those. Sigh, that is going to take forever.”
It was 250 days for either of the energy to reach the required 10 billion energy. If he wanted to double it twice, that was nearly a year of continuous energy gathering without spending it anywhere.
“That is going to be impossible. Even if I don’t use a lot of energy, I am still going to be stuck collecting energy for around a year straight.”
“Oh god. I wish the Kinetic energy is just around the corner.”
