Chapter 576: Have to be Well-Rounded
She was clinging to martial arts earlier, and now she was switching to clinging to life?

When Ning Shu saw that pretty much all her points were gone, her heart broke again. However, it was only now that she noticed that she actually gained ten merit points. She asked 2333-sama, "How did I get these ten merit points?"
"Who knows? I don't know either. These things are counted differently from the other attributes," said 2333.
"Do you want to enter the task world now?" asked 2333.
Ning Shu waved her hand dismissively. "No, I'm too tired. I'm going to rest for a while."
"Oh, that's right, what kind of world is the next task going to be in?" Ning Shu tapped open the marketplace and started browsing through it. Her heart itched with desire for these things, but she didn't have the points for them.
"You're going to be in a modern world next," replied 2333.
The moment Ning Shu heard that it was a modern world, she wanted to buy a handgun, but it costed five thousand. With the cost for bullets added on, it was seven thousand points. However, she was very tempted.
Hence she finally pressed exchange. She hit it once but the screen didn't react, so she hit it again, but the screen still didn't respond.
The frick? Why couldn't she exchange for it?
"2333, what's going on? Why can't I get it?" Ning Shu continued jabbing at the screen.
2333 explained, "The plane you're going to is in an era of peace and prosperity. There's no need for guns at all, so the system marketplace won't allow you to exchange for them."
f.u.c.k! If this couldn't be exchanged and that couldn't be exchanged, what the h.e.l.l did she purchase this marketplace for? As expected, it was still best to rely on yourself. Outside resources like this were completely unreliable.
Ning Shu laughed coldly, then sat on the ground and forced herself to take deep breaths.
"In the future when you're doing tasks in high-level worlds, there'll be a lot of resources so you can collect them yourself. This is simply how the system marketplace is. It sets restrictions on everyone, not just you," said 2333 comfortingly.
"Why haven't I encountered any task-takers yet? Could it be that each world can only tolerate one task-taker?" asked Ning Shu.
2333 said, "There are actually a lot of task-takers since some would disappear entirely after encountering an accident during their task. With how many planes there are, the chances of encountering one is quite slim, but you'll definitely encounter them in higher level planes. High level task-takers don't like doing tasks in low level worlds."
"You're currently just an ant in the low level planes, aka someone that's at the very border of the worlds, so you can't enter that kind of circle." 2333 then encouraged Ning Shu, "Gambette."
Ning Shu: …
Chapter 577: There's Furniture!
Ning Shu kept browsing through the system marketplace and looking at all the things she couldn't buy. Finally, she closed the window. There was no point in looking, she'd only drive herself mad.
She decided to take a nap, then take on the next task. Although she was currently in her spiritual form and had no need for sleep, she still had the habit of sleeping to destress.
She lay down on the ground in preparation to sleep, but it was really uncomfortable, so she sat up again and asked, "Is there anything like a bed or something? I want to sleep."
"There is. The system marketplace has plenty of stuff like that. You can exchange for them," said 2333.
The moment Ning Shu heard that, she hastily opened the marketplace. In the end, at a very inconspicuous corner, she found a b.u.t.ton for furniture. It was no wonder she hadn't noticed it before.
She opened the tab and found that there was a variety of furniture offered in all styles and they were all very cheap. The most expensive ones only costed about twenty points.
Not only was there furniture, there were all sorts of electronic appliances, exercise equipment, bouquets, bonsai, etc. Everything that should be here were here and there were also some luxury goods such as hair accessories, purses, clothes, shoes, and all sorts of things that drove women crazy. And most most most importantly, they were dirt cheap!
It was clear that these were the most worthless things in this system marketplace.
Ning Shu bought a ton in one go. She got a bed, household appliances, bonsai, and a lot of other little things, but it barely totaled up to two hundred points. The feeling of buying stuff sure was great. It felt like she had become a nouveau riche.
After she bought them, they soon appeared in her system s.p.a.ce. They just suddenly appeared, she didn't even know how they got there. There wasn't even the need for a delivery man, it was seriously magical.
It took Ning Shu quite a while to arrange everything and the empty white s.p.a.ce finally felt a little more personalized and comfortable.
The simple and cute bonsai had tiny little flowers that gleamed with little drops of dew. The light green sofa and white carpet made Ning Shu feel for the first time that this system s.p.a.ce was her home.
She threw herself onto the bed. Even though she was in her spiritual form, she could still feel the fluffiness of this soft blanket.
She soon fell deep asleep on the comfy bed.
#comment: On that note, I've been watching a lot of diy-ish home staging videos lately, namely Decorating Girls and ECLife and now I really can't stand my current storage dump of a room and want to redecorate, but since I'll be interning and studying abroad in different locations for the next year, I'll be living in at least 4 different locations and I don't want to buy things only to throw 'em away… Anyone have home organization/staging videos geared towards people that travel a lot? Also, any tips for someone who's about to study aboard in Europe? Ty in advance~
