Chapter 9: Su Nian's True Gift

"By the way, Boss, why don't you just bid for it yourself?"

Su Nian asked with great curiosity; for Shiroyasha, this amount of money shouldn't be much, right?

But looking at the somewhat embarrassed Shiroyasha, Su Nian realized he might have truly asked a particularly stupid question.

Shiroyasha looked at Black Rabbit, who had perked up again and was blinking her eyes, looking at her with anticipation.

She also somewhat awkwardly opened her fan, which was printed with the double-goddess emblem, and blocked it in front of her face.

If at this moment, Shiroyasha could confidently slap the table and say, "Isn't it just Leticia?"

"I'll just bid for her."

Black Rabbit might even have been conquered by Shiroyasha on the spot.

It was just a mere lewd photo collection; she could bid for as many as she wanted.

Black Rabbit, the Moon Rabbit who was good at sacrificing herself, would not refuse Shiroyasha, who had saved her companion.

But the problem was...

"Such a large sum of money, I can't take it out either, you know?"

Shiroyasha shrugged her shoulders helplessly and said.

Did he really think she was that rich right now?

Besides, although she had many rare Gifts on her, she couldn't sell them off in a short time, could she?

As for the ones that were usable and easy to sell?

They had long since been swindled away by that woman, Canary.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be this angry.

This was clearly targeting her, okay!

It could be said that Canary had completely swindled No Name without even calculating it.

Back then, she, Shiroyasha, was also a well-known wealthy woman in Little Garden, okay, but in order to support Canary in dealing with the Absolute Evil.

She had almost pawned off her Sun Authority.

Watching Shiroyasha and Black Rabbit fall into a state of frustration, Su Nian did not speak.

Instead, he sat to the side, quietly fiddling with two Magic Cards, lost in thought.

He was pondering whether Shiroyasha and Black Rabbit were worth him exposing his true secret.

The true Gift that was appraised and bestowed upon him by Little Garden Central after he arrived in Little Garden.

Although, thanks to his previous understanding of the original work, Su Nian was very clear about the character of Shiroyasha and Black Rabbit.

But knowing their character did not mean he had to place absolute trust in them.

Moreover, if he didn't intervene, Leticia's likely ending would just be falling into the hands of Perseus.

And then, three years later, waiting for Izayoi Sakamaki and the others to come and win Leticia back.

However, should he take a gamble?

Su Nian fell into deep thought.

If the gamble succeeded, he would gain a true backer, and he would also receive protection from Shiroyasha.

And if he lost, the consequence would just be that he would never step foot in Little Garden again until he had developed to a certain level.

After all, as a Planeswalker who could travel between infinite worlds, Su Nian did not lack worlds that would allow him to develop.

But if the gamble succeeded, the protection and guidance of a big shot who was once a Two-digit.

This couldn't help but make Su Nian feel tempted.

Let's gamble; at worst, he just won't come to this cesspool of Little Garden.

After all, if he didn't even dare to take this small risk, how could he talk about continuing to travel through countless worlds?

The dangers of other worlds might not necessarily be weaker than this world.

"Perhaps I have a way."

Su Nian toyed with the two Magic Cards in his hand and spoke up.

The Planeswalker Card was also the true reason Su Nian dared to go adventure in other worlds.

In the Magic Card game, Planeswalker Cards are partners you can summon to assist you.

But in Su Nian's inheritance, Planeswalker Cards could actually be seen as his own Avatar, his other life.

Its function was similar to a lich's phylactery, or a character card in a tabletop RPG.

If it died, for Su Nian, it would just be tearing up one Planeswalker Card.

He would just lose everything on this card, commonly known as "tearing the card."

And as a Planeswalker, as long as one Planeswalker Card still existed, he could be reborn at another Planeswalker Card when he was "torn."

Although the cost of making a Planeswalker Card was high, he still had two or three of them.

As for the true Gift bestowed upon him by Little Garden, it was:

【Outside the Law: You come from a universe outside the observation of Little Garden, and you can freely go to any world.

Incorporating an unknown universe into the observation range of Little Garden can grant a large amount of Merit, increase Spirit Status, and harvest Sovereignty.】

This was also the true reason he didn't flee this cesspool of Little Garden at the first opportunity.

After all, relying on his own step-by-step bitter cultivation and slowly accumulating knowledge to increase his strength, how could it be as fast as the bestowals from Little Garden?

Moreover, this did not conflict with his traveling to other worlds; or rather, it was completely complementary.

It was like the joy of eating a double-experience card.

And especially those last four words: harvest Sovereignty.

In Little Garden, Sovereignty was a good thing.

Not to mention the various abilities that came with Sovereignty, it was already a not-weak Gift in itself.

Most importantly, Sovereignty can grant you the right to settle Merit for a certain thing.

This means, for example, if you have Steam Engine Sovereignty, every time someone in Human History or even Little Garden uses or manufactures a steam engine, it will provide you with a certain amount of Merit.

Although it is very little for each person, Human History is Infinite, so the total adds up to a terrifyingly huge amount of Merit.

In Little Garden, Merit is equivalent to Merit in the Primordial Era; this is the true hard currency.

If observing a new world is a one-time deal, then Sovereignty is a hen that lays golden eggs.

A steady stream, a long-lasting flow.

Here, I must mention Sun Authority; as long as the sun continues to rise normally, the person who possesses Sun Authority can harvest a huge amount of Merit to improve their Spirit Status even while lying down.

This is also the reason why Sun Authority is called the true Secret Treasure of Little Garden, and even the reason why two Sun Authority Wars were launched for it.

Of course, if Su Nian wants to obtain the corresponding Sovereignty, he must also bring out something completely new that has not been observed by Little Garden.

For example, he cannot bring back a sword from another world and then obtain the Sovereignty of Weapon: Sword.

But if he brings back a Zanpakuto, then he can obtain the Sovereignty of Zanpakuto.

That is roughly the logic.

Of course, harvesting Sovereignty is just the first step; if one wants to truly obtain a huge amount of Merit, one must also consolidate the Gift corresponding to the Sovereignty into Human History and expand its influence.

Just like the Magic Card Sovereignty he has now, there is no difference between having it and not having it, since Magic Card was created by him relying on his Planeswalker Spark.

There is fundamentally no possibility of it spreading or increasing its influence.

After all, not every Sovereignty is like Star Authority, which can harvest Merit just by hanging in the sky; more often, one must promote the influence of the Gift corresponding to the Sovereignty.

For Su Nian, who can travel to different worlds, Sovereignty can be easily obtained, but the subsequent consolidation into Human History and the expansion of influence is not something he can do.

In other words, Sovereignty can be called the tax right over a specific Gift.

Take Sun Authority for example: did you bask in the sun? Pay up! Ah, no, pay taxes!

Sovereignty is pretty much this kind of thing.
