Chapter 1670: Purchases
Ning felt sleep approaching, but he pushed it aside for the moment to check on his points. He needed to plan what he was going to do next. There would be dozens of guards searching for a young girl of 15 and a young man with a missing arm tomorrow. They couldn't just walk out and leave.
Were they going to have to use another invisibility scroll?
He looked at the points he had and was pleasantly surprised. "22 Points?" he thought. "Even after I bought all those scrolls?"
He vaguely remembered getting a notification when he was leaving the village with Shara. "I received more points back then," he thought. He was happy to see he had so many points.
"What should I buy?" he thought. He knew he was going to have to buy multiple things instead of just a single item. With their current state, he couldn't afford to buy just one expensive thing like the Minor Scroll of Cognition which cost 22 points, or the Self-Mending Clothing of Choice which cost 18 points.
It would have to be something with the best value for them at the moment.
'To escape, I will need to use another Invisibility scroll,' Ning thought. That cost 8 points, leaving him with 14 more points.
'Will I have food and water for the next few days?' he wondered. If not, he could buy the Ever- filled Bottle for 6 points and the Hunger Relieving Potion for 6 points.
'I should buy the water just for the sake of not getting sick. And I can use it forever too,' he thought. 'But the potion... it can only be used once and by one person. One of us will have to go hungry or I will have to get more points.'
Instead, Ning decided that the better choice here was to buy the Dimensional Storage instead. It cost him 5 points, leaving him with 3 points in the end.
He could restore his energy with the 3 points if needed or buy a random weapon for 2 points there wasn't much to think about beyond that.
Ning didn't waste any time buying the Dimensional Storage and felt it appear within him. <Ding!>
<1 of 1 Tiny Dimensional Storage has been purchased>
<You may access the Dimensional Storage through 'Inventory'>
Ning began thinking about many other things and didn't realize when he dozed off. When he woke up, the world outside of the door had already begun their day.
The sound of a bustling city made its way through the door, bright light streaming through the gap, brightening the entire room.
Only now did Ning see what sort of place he had been sleeping in. It was a small room with no more than 10 feet in all directions.
The floor was wooden, and he was sleeping on top of a table in the corner. It looked like a butcher's table. Was he in a closed-down butcher's shop?
He looked for Shara but didn't find her anywhere.
'Where did she go?' he thought, curious. The door seemed tightly locked from the outside. He looked around and found the pieces of paper from the food yesterday and his spear thrown to the side of the room.
He looked at the spear and then his arm. The bandage work on his arm was amateur, but Shara had done her best. Perhaps because his healing was much better than regular humans, his wound had healed quite a bit.
The one on his arm hurt a lot, but there were other wounds around his body too, and those had healed. It also seemed like he hadn't needed a blood transfusion.
'Did I drink a healing potion?' Ning wondered. He must have, or else it wouldn't have healed
so quickly. 'God, I can't remember anything.'
The last thing he remembered was Shara holding him as they moved out of the village. Everything she had done or he had done was completely vacant from his mind.
"Oh! You're awake," Shara called out, appearing inside the room.
Ning was startled and looked toward her, not realizing how she was suddenly in the room.
"Did you... teleport in?" he asked.
"Hmm? Oh no," Shara said. "I walked through the wall."
