Chapter 939: An Ancient Era City

Ning Shu had expected the fabricated space to be sumptuous and maybe have a sky filled with flying saucers. She never imagined that it would actually be an ancient era city. However, the task-takers in the city were all dressed in different styles.

Some were wearing clothing of the ancient era while others were in T-shirts and shorts. Some were in Western-style suits and some were even wearing hides…

“And I thought it would be some breathtaking place,” said Ning Shu to 2333.

“… This fabricated space has existed since forever. This space is here for task-takers to interact, not for them to enjoy. For that purpose, these ancient style buildings are the most suitable,” said 2333.

Ning Shu looked at the task-takers that were walking past her. There were a lot of people. She exclaimed with a slight sigh, “There are so many task-takers.”

“Is there a lot? Compared to the boundless vast sea of planes, these task-takers are just a drop in the ocean. There are never enough task-takers. Primary task-takers often get exterminated due to all sorts of things. They disappear at a rate faster than finding suitable souls,” replied 2333.

Ning Shu asked in confusion, “If there aren’t a lot of suitable souls, why exterminate them? Can’t they be given a chance?”

“Pfff…” 2333 snorted in disdain. “Allowing you guys to become task-takers is already giving you guys a chance. Ruthless means must be used to make task-takers understand their place. If they fail, of course they must be exterminated. This is an elimination process: survival of the strongest, elimination of the weak. You guys have been given a chance to live. As long as you’re not exterminated, you’d possess the ability to live forever. What more chances should be given?”

Ning Shu felt a chill down her back, so she stopped wondering about this question. Thinking about these kinds of questions would only make her more stressed.

She started looking around the city. Here, points served as money. Points could be used to buy a lot of things.

Some task-takers were selling things, but most of the items were for barter. Ning Shu saw that on the carpets of some task-takers were some rather rare treasures, but the items to exchange for them were also very rare.

Ning Shu saw quite a lot of treasures, but when she saw the price, she could only silently gulp.

“Are the people inside the stores also task-takers?” Ning Shu saw that a lot of shopkeepers were also spiritual bodies.

“This involves the question of division of labor. Points are very important to task-takers, they’re pretty much currency. Some people rely on doing business to obtain points. They’re unwilling to do tasks and only want to continue living. With this method, they also don’t face the threat of being exterminated.”

“However, people like this have generally given up the chance to become high-level task-takers. Even if they have enough points, they still wouldn’t be able to level up,” said 2333. “A steady life has its limitations.”

“Ning Shu, above there still exists an even more fascinating world. You’ll encounter even stronger people. Rather than spend a lifetime viewing the sky from the bottom of a well, why not slowly climb up?” said 2333.

Ning Shu had always been determined to keep doing tasks. While living, humans had to have a goal to slowly fight towards. Furthermore, she could experience all sorts of worlds while doing tasks.

It was much more interesting compared to staying in this fabricated space.

Ning Shu looked up at the restaurant in front of her as she asked, “It’s possible to eat in the spiritual state?”

When she saw the stream of people walking in and out of the restaurant, she felt like going in as well.

“It only satisfies food cravings. Eating doesn’t actually serve any purpose, but all humans have cravings for food,” replied 2333 off-handedly.

Ning Shu licked her lips. She hadn’t eaten since she died. How could eating using someone else’s body be the same as eating in her own body?
