Chapter 2 Ning Rongrong: Rounding up, I spent seven billion gold soul coins on a man?!
"Level three soul power? God, can I exchange it for a cloud-nurtured artifact?"
Looking at the words "Soul Power Level 3" on the panel, Ning Rongrong regretted making such a hasty decision.
[A cloud-nurtured object has only one choice; once chosen, it cannot be changed. Forcibly canceling it will result in the shattering of the martial soul at best, and death and annihilation at worst. Do you wish to cancel it?]
"...."
"So...was I scammed?"
Ning Rongrong felt that her fragile heart had been greatly hurt.
[You can choose to use your own resources to feed and nurture your cloud-based pets!]
With the prompting of the voice in her mind, Ning Rongrong finally saw the many options on the panel.
[Enhance Soul Power]
[Gift of Soul Ring]
[Soul Bone as a Gift]
[Provide protection]
.....
"So what resources do I currently possess?"
Ning Rongrong couldn't help but feel a little curious.
[You possess 7,860,000 Gold Soul Coins.]
"Why don't you just say I'm so poor I only have money left? Will spending money help Cloud Nurturing's objects increase their soul power?"
Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes and asked the voice in her mind.
[Yes, would you like to spend Gold Soul Coins to increase the Soul Power of the Cloud-Nurturing Item?]
The voice in Ning Rongrong's mind gave an affirmative answer.
"Spending money is a small matter. Since the Cloud-Nurturing Object isn't a genius, I'll just use money to create one to help me improve the Cloud-Nurturing Object's soul power. Spend as much as you want, and don't stop until I tell you to."
As the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Secrt, money was just a number that Ning Rongrong filled in casually.
[Since you are the first goddess to feed Ye Tianchen, you will receive a 99% discount this time.]
[You spent seven million gold soul coins to feed Ye Tianchen level seven soul power.]
"...."
"Stop! Stop right there! What did you just say? You spent seven million gold soul coins... to increase your soul power by seven levels? And that's with a 99% discount? Are you the god of fraud?"
In less than half an hour, Ning Rongrong felt that her young heart had been hurt twice.
Although seven million gold soul coins is not a lot, if the voice in her mind is not deceiving her, after conversion, it is equivalent to her spending seven billion gold soul coins to increase her soul power by seven levels.
Keep in mind that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's annual income is only about 700 million gold soul coins, and a single ten-thousand-year soul bone only costs tens of millions of gold soul coins. In other words, she used ten years' worth of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect income—enough to buy a warehouse full of soul bones—to exchange for level seven soul power...
For a fleeting moment, Ning Rongrong was thankful that the voice only verified the resources she possessed, not the resources of the faction she belonged to. Otherwise, no matter how much her father loved her, he would have been so angry that he would have vomited blood.
[Since you are the first person to feed this item, you will be rewarded with a Resource Critical Hit Card and an additional Soul Power Critical Hit Card.]
...
At the same time.
[The little witch of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has spent seven million gold soul coins to enhance your soul power.]
[Your soul power is increasing.]
The cold voice rang in his mind once again. Ye Tianchen, who was immersed in a state of anxiety and uncertainty, suddenly felt his soul power, which was dripping like asphalt, begin to surge wildly.
Level 3, Level 4, Level 5... Level 10!
The soul power that he had spent six years raising by two levels was raised by seven levels in less than seven breaths.
"Little Witch? It should be Ning Rongrong. That makes sense. Only the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sext, who is richer than a country, could use seven million gold soul coins."
Although Ye Tianchen's talent for level 10 soul power at the age of twelve was still mediocre, it at least gave him hope. After all, Ning Rongrong could help him improve his level 7 soul power, so it was possible for her to continue to improve his soul power even more. One million gold soul coins for level 1 soul power should not be a problem for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which is richer than a country.
Ye Tianchen was unaware that Ning Rongrong, who appeared to have spent seven million gold soul coins, had actually almost spent seven billion gold soul coins, and even suspected that the system was a big liar because of this.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong's attention was drawn to the "Resource Critical Strike Card" and "Soul Power Critical Strike Card" that had appeared in her mind.
As if sensing her thoughts, detailed descriptions of both immediately appeared in her mind.
[Resource Critical Hit Card: After use, the resources you previously consumed will be returned as a critical hit, or increased by one, ten, one hundred, one thousand, or even ten thousand times!]
[Soul Power Critical Hit Card: After use, you can randomly obtain a corresponding Soul Power level within the range of 1 to 10!]
"I take back my previous doubts about you; you are the greatest god!"
Ning Rongrong, who was just moments ago full of criticism, instantly beamed with joy. Putting aside the "Resource Critical Strike Card," the extra "Soul Power Critical Strike Card" alone was enough to change Ning Rongrong's mind.
Unsure why she was doing this, Ning Rongrong got out of bed, washed her face, and then, full of anticipation, chose to use it.
[You used a resource critical hit card.]
[Currently dealing critical damage...]
[You have received double the resources.]
...
[You used a Soul Power Critical Strike Card.]
[Currently dealing critical damage...]
[You have gained level three soul power].
As the voice sounded in her mind, Ning Rongrong clearly saw that the amount of 860,000 gold soul coins she had left began to jump wildly. A few seconds later, the number stopped jumping, and the amount reached 14,860,000 gold soul coins.
But that wasn't what excited Ning Rongrong the most. Immediately afterward, the soul power in Ning Rongrong's body began to operate automatically, and her original level 26 soul power began to rise rapidly.
Twenty-six, twenty-seven.....Twenty-nine.
Ultimately, It settled on level 29.
Ning Rongrong suppressed her excitement and began to carefully sense it. After a moment, the joy on her face grew even stronger.
She discovered that the soul power from this attack was just as solid as the soul power she had cultivated herself, without any sense of emptiness.
Having tasted the benefits, Ning Rongrong immediately planned to continue feeding her cloud-nurtured creature, but just as this thought arose, she was reminded by a voice in her mind.
[You can only feed your Cloud-Raised Item once a day, and the discount has already been used. To further increase its Soul Power level, you will need to spend one billion Gold Soul Coins.]
[When a Cloud-Nurtured Item has not broken through to the next level, Gold Soul Coins cannot be used to increase its Soul Power.]
Perhaps because of Ning Rongrong's complaints, the voice in my mind thoughtfully reminded me of the amount that would be spent.
Ning Rongrong, who was originally delighted to have suddenly gained seven million gold soul coins and level three soul power, suddenly looked dejected.
One billion gold soul coins for a level one hero is indeed a lot, but it's not impossible. After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has a deep foundation, and with a little effort, they can push Ye Tianchen to level ninety-nine Limit Douluo.
However, Ning Rongrong was somewhat at a loss because she could not improve her soul power without breaking through to the next level.
"I've already fed it today, so let's learn about the martial soul of the Cloud-Nurtured Object before making any plans. It's getting late, and tomorrow Father is taking me to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan for a ceremony, so I should get some rest."
