Chapter 444: Add Some to Charm

"Oh, that's right. I put the pearl away. You're currently in your spiritual form so you can't get near it, otherwise your soul will be absorbed."

"Oh. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I thought I lost it and my heart was dripping blood!" said Ning Shu, annoyed.

2333 argued back, feeling wronged. "Didn't I already say that I would store the soul pearl when you came back to the system s.p.a.ce?"

"Why didn't you let me know that you were storing it?" Ning Shu was really annoyed. This 2333 was really an idiot. He was always so unreliable. Why was he so different from a normal predictable computer?

System 2333 forcefully changed the topic. "Look at how many experience points you got this time."

The stats panel appeared in front of Ning Shu.

There were thirty thousand experience points this time. It wasn't a lot, but there were ten attribute points and three additional merit points even though she didn't know what merit was used for. She added the attribute points to luck and martial arts.

I changed the term virtuous achievement to merit

The stats panel then reflected the change.

Ning Shu discovered that martial arts was very important. In this task, if she hadn't had sharp reflexes, she would've died at the ghost's hands and wouldn't have obtained a treasure like the soul pearl.

"Ning Shu, add some attribute points to charm," said 2333. "You're always adding attribute points to martial arts. Do you really want to become a female hulk?"

Ning Shu didn't mind at all. "What's wrong with having strong martial arts? I feel like it's pretty good."

"It's better to have more charm. Things will be much easier if you have more charm. People will have a naturally good impression of you, so it's helpful in tasks too," persuaded 2333.

Ning Shu said mildly, "It'd be better to rely on yourself. It's not like I'm going to date, what do I need high charm for?"

She understood that she couldn't stay in the task world for long. Once she left, the original host would return to her body and start a new life.

Suddenly, she asked, "Am I going to continue always having to pa.s.s through world after world, counter attacking for all sorts of people? If life is always going to be like this, it's a little tiring."

2333 was silent for a moment, then he said, "You should rest. Your soul is a little worn out. Everything you do has a lot of meaning. Not only are you helping people change their fates, you're helping to stabilize the planes and you also get eternal life. Although this sort of eternal life is a little tiring and though your time in the task worlds are short, you'll never disappear until you fail your task and get purged."

"Perhaps one day you'll be strong enough to break free from all of this. At that time, you'll have freedom." 2333 consoled Ning Shu. "What you want is the same thing as the people asking for counter attacks. You just want to live and change your fate."

Ning Shu sighed heavily like she was trying to expel all those gloomy feelings.

#comment: Feels like the author messed up on the stats? The 20 extra attributes from last world wasn't added on, but maybe it was on purpose. Also got info that the author is actually a girl… But still not 100% sure~ Also, in hindsight, 2333 has a really different personality compared to the future. Feels like the author totally changed the direction of the story, but I love the future direction, totally to my tastes! :3
