Chapter 1110: Like Forging Iron
“That tasktaker committed suicide, so does her task also count as a failure?” asked Zhang Jiasen.
“Not necessarily,” replied the system.
Zhang Jiasen sighed. The only reason he didn’t die this time was because he had obtained a treasure previously. However, this treasurer had already disappeared after blocking the power that had tried to eliminate him.
The scene of Mu Nichang committing suicide was still vivid in his mind. The hand that had gripped his was deathly pale and all the veins on it protruded horrifically. It didn’t even seemed like a human hand anymore, it was too crazy.
That person should have died ages ago. However, after being cursed, she was still able to go on for such a long time, enduring the pain from the curse. Zhang Jiasen suddenly started laughing.
He had lost to the same person two times in a row. He had a feeling that he’d still be encountering this person again in the future. There was no way the hatred from these two incidents would disappear.
After all, enemies tend to walk on a narrow road.
Zhang Jiasen softly murmured Miao Miaomiao’s name. His voice was extremely eerie.
…
When Ning Shu got back to the system space, the first thing she did was take a good hard nap. She had never gotten this tired out in a world before. Even after leaving Mu Nichang’s body, she still seemed to feel the pain.
She didn’t even dare to recall that pain. Still, she was pretty proud of herself, she had actually been able to endure that torment.
After sleeping a good while, when she woke up, she stretched, then glanced down to find that her soul was actually much tougher than before. The texture also looked much denser.
Ning Shu: →_→
Does this count as compensation for that pain?
……
“2333, what’s going on? I feel like my soul’s much stronger than before.” Ning Shu was a little surprised.
2333 said, “It’s like forging iron. After being molded by a painful experience, if you’re able to endure it, you naturally be honored with a new life. If you can’t hold out though, your soul will fall apart. Some people are strong, some people are weak. That’s how things are.”
“So congratulations! With your idiotic resolution, you managed to make your soul much stronger,” said 2333 happily. “The stronger your soul, the less you’ll be influenced by the entrustor’s emotions.”
Ning Shu nodded. It counted as a harvest. The task this time was seriously unbelievable. She had even wasted thirty-five merit points to exchange for a protective talisman.
Her heart was bleeding. Ning Shu felt that her heart hurt even more than her body did from the curse.
Merit points were the hardest to obtain. After all those tasks, she still only had that bit of merit points. She never thought that she’d use them up in this sort of situation.
She had freaking committed suicide, oh my God!
Ning Shu said listlessly, “Let’s check how many points we got this time.”
She didn’t have much hope for this task. She didn’t even complete the task, so how many points could she possibly get? She only wanted to see how many points she had, in order to see if she could exchange for a halo that could resist curses.
She never wanted to suffer that pain again. Just recalling it made her heart chill.
She had better not find out who the tasktaker in Mu Xue’s body was, otherwise she’d kill him.
