Chapter 61: b.a.l.l.s-Hurting Question Marks

Right after Ning Shu hit yes, she felt the world spin around her, then fell with a thud to the ground. She felt so dizzy that she was about to puke.

She got up from the ground and glanced around. The surroundings were completely white. She had returned to the system s.p.a.ce. Ning Shu gave a long sigh.

Following that, she looked down and saw that her soul had actually become a bit dimmer. She hastily sat down and started absorbing the matter in this s.p.a.ce. Although she didn't what those things were, there was no reason to reject it when it could strengthen her soul.

"Congratulations, Player, for making it back to the s.p.a.ce." The system's cold, mechanical voice rang out in the system s.p.a.ce. Ning Shu immediately stood up and asked, "Why did my soul become so dim? Could it be that completing tasks actually drains energy from the soul?"

"The only reason Player was influenced by the original host's emotions was because Player's soul is overly weak," explained the system emotionlessly.

"Then is there a way to strengthen the soul?" asked Ning Shu. She had a feeling that traveling between worlds like this drained the soul a lot. If she didn't have a strong soul, her soul would be used up sooner or later.

"There are medicine for strengthening the soul in the marketplace. There are also secret manuals with cultivation methods to strengthen one's soul. However, you currently do not have the qualifications to open the marketplace or the exchange system." The system's explanation had given Ning Shu hope until she heard the part about not having the qualifications. It felt like another bucket of cold water had been poured over her head.

"Player will only have the qualifications to open the exchange system once Player officially becomes a player."

Fine. Currently she didn't even count as an intern. She was probably the smallest of the small cannon fodders, doomed to disappear forever if she died in the middle of a task.

"Examine stats? Yes/No."

"Yes."

The stats panel immediately appeared in front of Ning Shu.

Number: 23333

Name: Ning Shu

Age: 27

Experience: 4000 (4000/10000)

Soul: 60

Life: 50

Intelligence: 80

Charm: (?????)

Luck: 20

Mental Strength: 120

Martial Arts: 10

Apt.i.tude: 20

Abilities: Five Rings Shooting Skill, Trashy Combat Skill

Acquired t.i.tles: None

Ning Shu examined each attribute carefully. She was pleasantly surprised to find that she actually got four thousand points this time. It was probably due to the fact that she had been sent to a mid-level world and managed to complete the task after running into a stroke of good luck.

As expected, things with high risk were accompanied by high interest returns.

"Player has been rewarded with ten attribute points." The system's voice rang out again. "Due to the fact that Player's first task was a mid-level world and the fact that the tasks were satisfactorily completed, ten bonus attribute points have been given."

Ning Shu thought about it, then added one attribute point to charm. Having her charm level simply be several question marks seriously made her b.a.l.l.s hurt. When she thought about her even more pitiful luck level, she added five attribute points to that without hesitation, then added four points to apt.i.tude.

Following that, Ning Shu's stats panel changed.

Number: 2333

Name: Ning Shu

Age: 27

Experience: 4000 (4000/10000)

Soul: 60

Life: 50

Intelligence: 80

Charm: 1

Luck: 20 (+5)

Mental Strength: 120

Martial Arts: 10

Apt.i.tude: 20 (+4)

Abilities: Five Rings Shooting Skill, Trashy Combat Skill

Acquired t.i.tles: None

Ning Shu saw that her charm level was finally no longer question marks. Though it was a lonely one point, at least they weren't questions marks anymore.

"Would you like to enter the task world now?" asked the system.

Ning Shu considered it, then asked, "Can I enter it a little later?"

"You can." Then the system fell silent.

#comment: I purposefully didn't add this in the beginning since I felt like there was already a lot of information to absorb, but a reader remarked a while ago that another system novel had the same number and I felt like this would be a good place to add it before I forget. 2333 in Chinese represents laughter. The more wildly you want to show you're laughing, the more 3s you would add on. It's like LMAO vs LMAOOOOO. Ning Shu gets made fun of for it a couple arcs later. Btw, I'm still not sure if Ning Shu's number is 2333 or 23333 because the author types both. I'll edit all previous mentions to one or the other once I'm relatively sure but for now, I'm just going w/ what the raws use.

Chapter 62: Fascination with the Chest

Ning Shu looked at her soul again. If she entered the world when her soul was this dim, she would definitely be influenced by the original host's strong emotions again. It was best not to try to run until one could walk. Ning Shu decided to first meditate for a while.

She sat down and started absorbing the things in the system s.p.a.ce in order to strengthen her soul. This was undoubtedly a very slow process, but it was the only option she had.

What she wanted the most right now was to obtain a cultivation manual that could strengthen the soul. How long did she have to wait until she could become an official player?

There was no concept of time in the system s.p.a.ce. Ning Shu sat on the ground without moving. After an unknown period pa.s.sed, Ning Shu opened her eyes and looked down at her body. She felt that her soul had solidified a little more. When she touched it, it felt like touching milk. It was a satiny sensation.

"System, are you there? I want to start the task." Ning Shu lifted her head and asked while looking at the wall in front of her. She had no idea where the system was.

Right after she spoke, she felt suffocated. Frick, couldn't they give her time to prepare first? At the very least she should have been given a quick notification.

Ning Shu fell unconscious.

In the heavy darkness, she could sense that there was someone beside her and talking to her. With great difficulty, she opened her eyes. Her head felt very heavy and she couldn't move at all as she looked at the bed canopy above her. Her mind was blank.

When the servant girl next to the bed saw that she had woken up, she seemed extremely moved and immediately knelt next to the bed and cried, "Princess, you're awake!" Then she hastily sent someone to get the imperial physician.

Ning Shu turned her head and looked at the maid that was kneeling next to the bed. Her hair was combed up into an elegant hairstyle with a bead flower as an ornament. She was wearing lily magnolia double embroidered satin garments that had a layer of gauze fabric draped over it. The soft swell of her b.r.e.a.s.t.s could faintly be seen.

>There are set names for styles of ancient Chinese apparels, but unfortunately though the names are pa.s.sed down, the styles are not doc.u.mented well. Google images don't turn up what the style looks like. The Chinese words below each image is just a list of garment set names.

Ning Shu's body felt very heavy and her stomach was completely empty. She didn't even have the strength to lift her hand.

"Princess, you can't abuse yourself this way ah." That servant girl cried and laughed at the same time from relief. Ning Shu had to use a lot of effort in order to speak. "Get me some food."

That maid wiped off her tears. When she heard that Ning Shu wanted to eat, tears of joy spilled down her face again. She lifted the hems of her garments and ran out of the palace.

Ning Shu lay on the bed, starved to the point she felt dizzy. How long had this body been starved? Was this the path of starving to death?

Her brain felt both chaotic and blank. She decided to wait until after eating to receive the storyline. The girl earlier had called her princess. From the looks of it, this body had a very high status. She had never imagined that there would be a day she could experience the fantasy of being a little princess.

Not long later, that girl returned with a bowl of congee. It was simmered with meat stock and vegetables until they turned soft. The moment Ning Shu smelled this fragrance, her stomach started growling.

The maid helped Ning Shu up and said, "Princess, this servant will feed you."

Ning Shu nodded and joy immediately lit up the maid's face. She spooned a small mouthful and blew on it before feeding it to Ning Shu.

It was unknown how long this body had been starving, as even this mild congee caused the stomach a bit of pain. Luckily, her body slowly adjusted. Ning Shu only ate one bowl before stopping.

The maid helped Ning Shu lay back down. Ning Shu looked at the maid. She seemed only about fifteen and was quite delicate and pretty. However, Ning Shu's gaze was focused on this girl's chest. This era's clothing was still rather open and sensual. It was like the clothing of the Tang dynasty. It covered the chest from the front but if one looked down from above, the cleavage within was in full view.

>Tang Dynasty clothing example

Ning Shu saw that this girl treated this body rather well. Not only was she respectful, she also seemed very concerned. Ning Shu hadn't received the storyline yet so she still didn't know what this girl's character was truly like. However, based on this girl's earlier behavior, she probably had a pretty good personality.

Right after Ning Shu lay down, another maid ran into the palace. Probably due to the fact that she had rushed here, her face was bright red and there was a bit of sweat visible on her delicate nose.

#comment: Ning Shu's pretty dirty-minded… Her innocence only lasted like 1 chapter. Must have been exploring a lot of media while she was in the hospital.
