Chapter Fifteen: Nahida's Request, the Price is to Give Birth to a New Life?
As Ye Xi pondered, an ethereal reminder sounded in his ear.
[Ding~]
[Complete the mission [Opening Branches]! ]
[Physical Strength +17]
[Thunder Element Strength +21]
[Tip: Thunder Element Strength can use the electromagnetic super weapon twice! ]
[Spiritual Power +3]
[Acquiring the calming force ability! ]
[Acquire Controllable Ruins Guard*10]
The system notification sound faded, and Ye Xi felt the change in his body again.
He could hear the sound of blood flowing through his meridians, growing more powerful with each moment.
Today he went outside the city to experiment. If it were a slime, he could smash it to pieces with a punch.
As if a watermelon were struck with a stick, it exploded.
If it were now, he felt he could turn slime directly into liquid slime!
Not only had his strength improved, but the hardness of his body had changed as well.
Explosive power, resistance, counter-attack ability, and various forces were all greatly enhanced. This feeling was very addictive.
Just think about it—you can get stronger every day without going to the gym to lift weights. The system is simply a blessing for lazy people.
After feeling the changes in his body, Ye Xi heard the new attribute values.
Mental Power +3
Although he didn't understand the role of mental power, he could sense that his focus had become sharper.
Next, there was the special ability: forced calm.
[Forced Calm: Calm emotions like joy, anger, sadness, happiness, etc., the effect will become more significant with the improvement of mental power. ]
Upon hearing the message, Ye Xi was speechless for a moment.
Why did this ability seem so familiar?
It seemed that an extremely explicit character had the same ability, right?
He didn't know what it was for, but it was better than nothing.
As for the guards of the ruins.
The last time the reward was ten units, and this time it was again ten units.
Although the guardian of the ruins was a considerable force, it still wasn't worth mentioning to powerful adventurers.
After Dadalia activated the Demon King's Armament, it wasn't difficult to destroy a few guards of the ruins.
If the relic guard were used to protect a city, that power would still be very weak.
After checking all the rewards, Ye Xi discovered that Dunyarzad had fallen asleep.
He wanted to turn over but realized his arm was trapped in an extremely soft embrace, making it impossible for him to escape.
Even in deep sleep, Dunyarzad still held his hand tightly.
It seemed this girl really had no sense of security, or she was worried that if she closed her eyes, she would never be able to open them again.
'Forget it, this is fine too.'
Ye Xi slowly closed his eyes.
Outside.
Dehya leaned against the corner, looking at the stars in the sky, shivering.
"Ha Chirp—"
…
At some point, Ye Xi felt a gentle calling.
[People of Khaenri'ah, please open your eyes, will you? ]
The voice seemed to come from nine days ago, startling Ye Xi.
To be honest, it felt a bit like déjà vu from Journey to the West.
If there were a word for [evil beast], Ye Xi would be almost scared to death.
He suddenly sat up and realized there was a vast white space around him.
It was like dreaming.
[Are you awake? ]
"I am Nahida, and I have been following you for a long time."
Suddenly, a resonant voice emerged behind him, extremely clear.
Ye Xi turned his head and saw a small "badminton."
Well, it was Nahida who had turned her back to him.
The back looked very much like a badminton ball.
"Little auspicious grass king?"
"You knew I existed?"
Nahida was a little surprised; she hadn't expected Ye Xi to recognize her identity just by hearing a name.
She turned around, saw the confusion on Ye Xi's face, and explained: "I am here to thank you for helping Dunyarzad."
"This child has grown up under my watchful eyes. Because of the devil's scale disease, she is very unfortunate."
"But, as the god of Sumeru, I have no choice."
Hearing Nahida's sigh of disappointment, Ye Xi remembered.
At that time, Nahida was imprisoned in the Jingshan Palace by the Great Sage.
Because Nahida still didn't understand the emotions that a god should have—not even anger.
One could say she was a confused Nahida.
"I have been following you since you entered the city."
"I feel that there are many variables in you, which is why I let Dunyarzad approach you."
"In this way, I can connect with you."
"I'm sorry, but I can't appear to see you in person; only through a dream."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xi understood.
The reason she guided Dunyarzad was that Nahida had no way to connect with him directly.
"Wait, you said this is a dream?"
"Uh... yes."
"To be precise, this is your dream."
Nahida thought Ye Xi would ask a question about "Sumerians cannot dream."
But before she could explain the issue of the Void, she suddenly encountered something very strange before her eyes!
It was a Ferrari!
That's right.
It was imagined by Ye Xi.
If it's your own dream, then everything in the dream can be controlled by you.
To travel through the unreachable dreams of the past, of course, you have to live your vision now.
Seeing the car before him, Ye Xi was surprised.
This was the first time he could control his dreams!
Then he started to fantasize about fighter jets.
Soon, a jet dark as pitch number 20 appeared before him.
That cool appearance made Ye Xi exclaim.
"This is a man's romance!"
No man doesn't love fighter jets!
Nahida, beside him, was stunned.
Because she found that she had never seen what Ye Xi visualized through dreams!
Gathering all her wisdom, she couldn't penetrate the mystery.
"Is this Khaenri'ah technology?"
"No, I don't belong to Teyvat."
Upon hearing Ye Xi's response, Nahida was suddenly struck by a bolt of lightning: "You are the descendant?"
"Well..."
Ye Xi thought something was wrong.
Bad, too focused on appreciating what was in front of him, subconsciously revealing his identity.
[Force to Calm Down]
When the ability was activated, Ye Xi immediately felt as if he was drenched with cold water.
He calmed down for a moment, dispersed the creations in the dream, and said: "As expected of the God of Wisdom, you noticed this very quickly."
Nahida suddenly became excited; if he were a descendant, perhaps she could help her!
She asked hastily: "Descendant, as you can see, my strength is very small."
"So, I want to ask you to help a group of people from Sumeru."
Nahida had a lovely and pitiable appearance. Like an ordinary person, when she heard this request, she was afraid that whatever she did, she would agree.
But Ye Xi did not hesitate.
Help a group of people from Sumeru.
This request showed that Nahida was really confused.
She didn't even know if it was right or wrong to be imprisoned.
She didn't complain to the Great Sage Azar, but just silently observed Sumeru and everyone.
Apparently witnessing the corruption of the Order Academy, Nahida felt the danger.
However, she only wanted to help the Great Sage and resolve these problems.
In other words, if he promised Nahida, he would be helping the Great Sage clean up his mess.
A ghost would do that.
If Nahida's request is to help her out of trouble.
Well, he might consider it.
Thinking of this, Ye Xi asked back: "If you want to use my power, you need to pay a price."
"God is no exception."
"So, Nahida, what price are you willing to pay?"
Upon hearing the question, Nahida thought for a moment and gave an answer.
"Although I don't know if the gods can combine with humans."
"However, I will do my best to give birth to a new life…"
