Ning Shu called Huo Chengwang to her palace to eat. Her task had finished, so she’d probably leave this world soon. Before she left, she wanted to have a meal with this temporary son.
Huo Chengwang had grown very quickly and he was now tall enough to reach Ning Shu’s chin. When he ate, he still ate a small amount of everything so that no one could tell what he liked and what he didn’t like.
Ning Shu got some of the food that Huo Chengwang liked best and place them in his plate. She looked towards him and said, “Imperial Mother’s Chengwang will definitely be a good emperor.”
“This son definitely won’t let down Imperial Mother’s expectations!” said Huo Chengwang earnestly.
Ning Shu smiled. “Chengwang, if in the future you have a woman you admire, you can dote on her, but no matter what, don’t be like your father. Emotions that are too intense will only leave exhausted ashes. The gentle flowing of a long river is what’s most beautiful. What’s most most most important is not to admire a woman that’s too dumb.”
“This son knows. In the future, if this son has someone he likes, this son will definitely have Imperial Mother take a look.” Huo Chengwang nodded, then said with a smile, “With Imperial Father as a precedent, this son is a little scared to like a girl.”
“It’s fine as long as you stay within appropriate limits,” said Ning Shu. She rubbed Huo Chengwang’s head. “Chengwang, work hard!”
After the meal, Huo Chengwang left. Ning Shu lay down on the bed to nap.
“Ding! Mwuah, Ning Shu! Did you miss me?” 2333’s voice suddenly appeared inside her head.
“Humph! Would it kill you to be a little nicer to me?” 2333 sounded very hurt. “The task is complete. Leaving the task world.”
Ning Shu heard a buzz, then passed out. When she woke up, she had already returned to the system space.
She looked down at her soul. Although it was a little dim, it wasn’t as worn out as before.
“System 2333-sama, let me check how many points I got this time.”
The stats panel appeared in front of Ning Shu.
Experience: 80000 (+60000)
Abilities: Five Rings Shooting Skill, Trashy Combat Skill, Trashy Beginner of Unsurpassable Martial Arts
Acquired Titles: Goddess of War
Halos: Benevolent Mother of the World (Empress’s blessing)
Task Completion Degree: 100%
Gained 10 attribute points.
Ning Shu lifted her brows in surprise and asked 2333, “What the heck is this ‘mother of the world’ halo?”
“You’ve changed Huo Chengwang’s fate. The original host Xiao Xiao was grateful to you, so you obtained this Benevolent Mother of the World Halo. Actually, this counts as the original host giving some of the faith of the citizens to you. Basically, she’s giving you some of her fortune,” explained 2333.
“It’s this good?” Ning Shu was a little surprised. This task netted her sixty thousand points and ten attribute points, but the biggest harvest was probably this mother of the world halo.
Ning Shu added all ten attribute points to life and luck.
Experience: 80000 (+60000)
Abilities: Five Rings Shooting Skill, Trashy Combat Skill, Trashy Beginner of Unsurpassable Martial Arts
Acquired Titles: Goddess of War
Halos: Benevolent Mother of the World (Empress’s blessing)
“Mwuah! Keep working hard, Ning Shu! You already have 140 thousand points now. Once you get 200 thousand, you’ll be able to open the primary system marketplace.”
“The primary system marketplace? Could it be that there’s an advanced system marketplace?” asked Ning Shu.
2333’s tone was filled with yearning. “The best is the ultra system marketplace. It has all kinds of treasures. I’ve seen someone exchange for a plane before. The people that can open the ultra system marketplace are all god-like existences. For a little trash like you, just being able to open the primary system marketplace is already really good.”
#comment: So weird. Most of the stats added last time had disappeared too. Or maybe it was on purpose… And by plane, it means plane of existence
