Chapter 1012 - Talk

"Anyway, that's the deal. I will provide you food and water. What else do you need?"

Mileda thought for a moment and shook her head. "That's all. The only things we need now are these two."

Alex narrowed his eyes to see whether this girl lied or not, but there was no shred of doubt, so he decided to seal the deal.

"Alright. That's the deal."

"I understand. Since you have given the magic water, I will provide you with information first to show our sincerity in this deal. Please don't reject it." She politely bowed her head again.

"Anyway, get up first." Alex waved his hand, using his Spiritual Energy to help her up.

Once again, Alex shocked her with his "magic" that could lift someone like her without even touching.

Alex thought for a moment and asked. "Where can I find a map?"

"We don't have it anymore. At the very least, I can draw a simple map for you." She politely replied.

Alex nodded. "Let's get into it then."

When he was about to grab a paper and a pen from his Inventory, he suddenly remembered that he needed to be prepared for anything. He found that there was no kind of Space Ring or any storage system in the princess's body, so he thought there was a possibility she didn't have it or the world didn't have it.

From his perspective, it was the latter. So, to avoid any suspicion, he refrained himself from using his power in front of them and waited for the reply instead. He got this thought after seeing the shocked expression on the princess's face after he helped her up.

She then looked down and bowed to him. "I will need to bring the paper first. May I leave for the time being?"

Alex nodded.

She quickly turned around and left the room as if she couldn't be in that room anymore. In fact, her feet went limp as soon as she closed that door, and she dropped to the ground.

Her face eventually turned pale as she recalled their conversation.

With how he acted and his power, Alex's status might be more mystical than she thought.

Due to the ridiculous event she faced earlier, she murmured in a low voice. "Is he God? Or an apostle?"

The misunderstanding continued and where would it lead this kingdom to, no one had the idea.

Alex, on the other hand, let out a long sigh. "It seems this place is more primitive than I thought."

[I agree. This place is a bit far from our place, so we don't have much information since we haven't checked it yet, only basic information.]

"I know how hard it is to check worlds. I mean, there are millions of worlds out there, and if you try to get detailed information from that world, you will need to check their power level, minerals, and so on. Hence, I don't blame you. I need to be more careful."

[Thank you. But I do think that this world has a certain power system, which I have never seen before. I have seen the record with your Spirit Eyes…It seems they have enough power to cultivate, but it's not cultivation.]

"Yes. I don't know if I should ask them, but I think I will. Just with some bullsh*ts with my identity to confuse them."

[I agree. Do you find anything familiar that can be a clue for their power?]

"One thing. There seems to be a certain pattern on their body."

[Oh. That one? I think I have seen the same pattern as the one in the girl's b.r.e.a.s.t that was hidden underneath the cloth with the one in the prince's chest.]

"Yes. I don't know what the pattern means, but I think it's something related to this country. I mean, if you check the others, they will have the same pattern, but a bit simpler."

[Now that you mention it, it's true. The one that people in this town had seemed to be a bit simpler, but the basis is practically the same.]

Alex nodded. "It's most likely either their country or something like a pattern from their so-called God? Is this place someone's territory?"

[I don't think so. I have checked it previously and there is nothing like that. To put it simply, the planet is in the "International Water," so no one cares about what you do here.]

Alex narrowed his eyes. "In that case, I will get as much information as I want today and tomorrow. I will plant the seal the day after."

[Sure. Your choice. By the way, I have just gotten information from Alicia. It seems they are returning to Eulja soon.]

"Alicia and Firia?"

[Yes.]

"That's great. I miss all of you." Alex smiled and recalled Sherry.

[Don't worry. Sherry is fine. Do you want to send a message to her? Or you can even use the Inventory to message each other.]

"No. I don't want to disturb her. Just make sure you follow her up, so I know if she is doing fine or not." Alex smiled.

[Ah? Are you embarrassed to ask her?]

"…" Alex shrugged. "I am a bit tired of this."

[Fine, fine. I won't make this joke for today. Anyway, I am a bit curious about their power system, so you might want them to fight together with you to see their own power. This is the best way to see their power system and test the Gacha System. Don't you agree?]

"Completely." Alex nodded with a serious expression. "Besides, I think I can learn something from them."

[True. We can learn from anyone no matter if they are weak, idiot, or anything. As long as you are open to any kind of teaching and know how to filter what you need and don't need, you will be fine.]

Alex smiled. "Alright. Let me continue the negotiation first. For now, I will bring out some food supplies that I have. I wonder if she will call it magic food or something."

[Haha. I am curious as well. I don't understand why normal water is called magic water. Maybe there is something different in their body or something? I don't know. You might want to check more about it.]

"I am not a doctor, you know. I am not good at this. If only…" Alex suddenly looked down and sighed. "Never mind."

[That wasn't your fault. It was that Palm God's fault. He surely had gotten his punishment.]

Alex stayed silent for a minute before nodding his head. "There will be a time we will meet again, so I will put it aside for now."

To change his gear again, he waved his hands, summoning all Foundation Rank vegetables that were not used for Alchemy Ingredients. "By the way, where was the food coming from?"

[I don't know. It surely came from one of your journeys. I mean, your past life.]

"He didn't bring you or anything?"

[Not really. There was always a need for me time, so I could understand it. Even now, I never imposed it on you because it would be too annoying, right?]

"I guess." Alex nodded. "Well, it's indeed nice to experience some time alone. Usually, I have this type of time while flying to another place."

Alex then waved his hand and took out a few vegetables and meat. The vegetables were just some herbs that were not used for Alchemy for various reasons while the meat was monster meat.

"Now that I think about this, in this type of world, this food will surely be called a magic food, isn't it?" Alex narrowed his eyes.

[I am sorry. I don't have anything that doesn't have Spiritual Energy.]

"Wait a minute…" Alex narrowed his eyes and took out a water bottle and looked at it with his Spirit Eyes. "Can you see it?"

[It's just normal water?]

"I mean, this water is normal, but after being radiated for too long by Spiritual Energy, it carries a portion of it as well. We, cultivators, never think about this because they are separated from our power system, but this might be related to those in this world. You know what I mean?"

[Now I understand. The power contained within it is not that big, so any cultivators will see it as a useless item. How can I forget this? My blunder.]

"Well, you haven't really gotten anywhere for the past one thousand years, no?" Alex shrugged.

[That's true, but my memory is not like an old woman.]

"I didn't say it like that. I only said it might not appear in your mind because you have so many memories. I mean, it took me so long just to absorb the knowledge I got from the inheritance. In fact, I haven't absorbed them completely. Only fifty percent of the total?" Alex shook his head.

[Fair enough. I will accept this one then.]

"Yep." Alex rolled his eyes. "Well, should we still give the food?"

[I don't know the effect the food will give them, but I don't think it will be something big. Besides, they will soon face catastrophes everywhere, so I think it's fine. It will soon be useless anyway.]

Alex thought for a moment and agreed with her. "Alright then. He looked at the meat and vegetables and compared them to the water he had. It seems this food supply will last for a month."

[Who knows.]

"We can just wait for her. After getting the map, I will try to find any information about this world, especially regarding other influences, the gate, and the other side. I hope it won't take too long."

[It will. Trust me. You are getting it so easily by using this kind of approach, but if it's the normal investigation, the N squad needs to check it by themselves. One Lower World like this might need one to two years. One Upper World is around decades, so you can imagine how hard it is. Of course, I am talking about detailed information.]

"I know. I just want to see whether this world suits my Gacha System or not." Alex shrugged. "Besides, the World's Will will be the one making a deal with me. By the way, how do I even contact the World's Will?"

[Two ways. The first will be showing your real power. It will approach you. The other one is to use a kind of ritual with Array. I don't have the array plate at the moment, and no one can make it in a short time because we have no need for it this whole time.]

"Heh? You forgot?" Alex wanted to tease her since Lin Xingzhi usually had prepared everything for him. This was a rare chance for him to get back, albeit just like usual, she fought back.

[So, you are going to keep relying on me? What a cute boy?]

"…" Alex twitched his eyebrows. "Is this the system's auto defense?"

[Nope. Just saying.]

"…" Alex scratched the back of his head. He could negotiate with others and get his own advantage, but why could he not handle her?

[Fufu. Teasing you is really nice.]

"Fine, fine. I lost again." Alex shrugged before noticing that Mileda had come back.

He calmed himself down and looked at the door with a serious expression.

"I am sorry for taking too long." She panted as if she rushed to this room.

From one glance, the drawing hadn't been made, so he knew that she must have something to do earlier. It was probably related to the prince, but in either case, he didn't pay any heed and stretched his hand to tell her to continue.

Before she could say something, she noticed that the room was filled with vegetables and meats. The energy emitted from those startled her, and she realized there wasn't any place to walk other than a single path.

"This…"

"I am giving this to you. Just talk to me about what I want to know for a single day. I will think about what to reward you tomorrow."

She widened her eyes, never expecting that Alex was this generous. Although she wanted to question where all these came from, she decided not to talk about it, lest Alex got pissed.

"I understand." She walked carefully to Alex and began her explanation, including drawing a simple map.
