Chapter 1322: What Happened to That God-Star Soul Later?
"Heh, I like this little guy's personality," the Monarch laughed.
Nai Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si rolled his eyes: "What's good about it? This personality is the most annoying. It will definitely be like you, liking to jump to conclusions. Once it decides on something, no one can change it. It has now decided that the Little Tree-Person and the Guman Snake are in cahoots; ten Abyss Big-Mouths couldn't pull it back."
The Monarch laughed: "It's just that you can't pull it back. Let An Dongni go pull it; he definitely has a way to persuade this little guy."
Nai Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si curled his lip: "Don't 'little guy' this and 'little guy' that. It's not certain who is older, you or it."
As he spoke, Nai Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si turned to An Dongni. To persuade a stubborn guy, one indeed needed a charlatan like An Dongni.
An Dongni smiled bitterly: "You guys think too highly of me. I can't get in, and I have no way to remote-control the Little Tree-Person to persuade the other party."
"That's true. Your swindling skills also need face-to-face contact to be effective. Remote control requires looking at the executor's ability. The Little Tree-Person..." Nai Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si stopped there.
Everyone nodded with deep feeling. The Little Tree-Person was a bit more mature than the Little Sapling, but the gap was like that between the Star Kindergarten and the Star Botanical Garden—not much difference. To have the Little Tree-Person execute such a complex 'persuasion' task, it would be better for Nai Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si to go one-on-one with the King of Feilie; the success rate might be higher.
"So we can only use the ultimate move," An Dongni said.
Looking at the various knight novels handed over by Silver Coin, Nai Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si had a face full of black lines: "This is the ultimate move you were talking about?"
"Of course. You ask Silver Coin, what do those Star-Born buy the most here at the World-Tree?" An Dongni said.
Silver Coin said: "Board games, improved ball games, various rewritten knight novels, illusion dramas—anyway, entertainment items sell very well here. Of course, they need targeted improvements."
An Dongni continued: "For example, knight novels. Humans read about commoners practicing hard, changing jobs to Sword Saints, leading armies, and defeating orcs or elves. These Star-Born read about low-level Star-Born leveling up, fighting monsters, and evolving into Void-level Star Gods. If it's for a God-Star to read, then change it to a God-Star Soul working hard to cultivate, defeating the Guman Snake, saving the World-Tree, successfully escaping, and burning all enemies to death."
"Pfft, you call this rewriting? You call this customization," Nai Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si spat out a mouthful of old blood: "That restricted little fire-person is indeed working very hard to cultivate, but unfortunately, every time it's about to have a breakthrough, the Guman Snake loots most of the Star Flame. Just thinking about it makes me angry."
With this kind of tailor-made work, he didn't believe the other party could resist.
"Sigh, the void is too boring..." the Monarch suddenly sighed long and hard.
Indeed, the void is too boring, especially for long-lived species. When life no longer needs to struggle for survival, one needs to struggle for spiritual fulfillment; otherwise, one will be like an undead creature, sleeping for decades or centuries, wasting that endless life.
At the World-Tree, the best-selling items are various entertainment and leisure things. For example, Super Dodgeball is a ball game tailor-made for Star-Born. A bunch of Star-Born gather together and use a special ball to throw at the Star-Born in the middle.
To limit the Star-Shift ability, all participating Star-Born also need to wear special clothing. Whoever hits the Star-Born in the middle can replace them, go on the field, and enjoy the fun of being hit by others. The onlookers can also add some bets and participate.
With the popularity of Super Dodgeball, the economy of the entire area has come alive. Previously, there was no economic activity here at all; a small amount of barter didn't even count as 'activity,' let alone 'economic activity.'
Now it's good. The economy is alive, and the demand for currency has greatly increased. Silver Coin took the opportunity to issue vouchers, called Ball Coins. One Ball Coin can be exchanged for a set of custom dodgeball equipment.
Then, equate various materials with Ball Coins—for example, how many cans of Star Dust can be exchanged for one Ball Coin, how much Star Iron can be exchanged for one Ball Coin. Operating like this, a currency system can be established very quickly.
This area actually has a lot of high-value materials. For example, the gravel fragments Ang encountered before were formed after the branches and leaves of the World-Tree fell off and were subjected to the roasting of the God-Star for a long time, finally carbonizing and petrifying. A single piece is as huge as a plane.
They are easily obtainable here, but if you put them in a plane, even if you crush them and mix them with mud to build a city wall, magic crystal cannons wouldn't be able to blast through them.
Take ordinary iron, for example. Throw it onto a God-Star, and it will soon melt into liquid. Scoop up this liquid iron, and it becomes Star Iron that can withstand temperatures of two or three thousand degrees, which even a dwarf's furnace cannot melt.
It is not yet known what Star Iron is useful for. Du Luo Ken's hypothesis is to cold-forge it into armor, specifically to resist fire magic.
Similarly, there are various metal materials. Take them here to process, and you can significantly change the material's performance or even properties. And the materials native to this place have properties that crush materials in the planes. Whether you crush them forward or backward, they are very extreme.
Alchemists love all kinds of extreme materials, so during this period, this place has become Du Luo Ken's paradise, launching various research projects. He wishes he could split himself into ten people to use.
This is also Du Luo Ken's fun. As the Monarch said, the void is too boring. If there is nothing to pin one's interests on, long-lived species can easily get bored to the point of madness.
"But does the Little Tree-Person have the ability to tell these stories clearly?" Nai Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si couldn't help but ask.
"It doesn't need to tell it. It only needs to transfer the text on the book into the tree tumor. That little fire-person should be able to read it," An Dongni said.
It wouldn't know how to tell a story, but if you let it replicate something, it could carve it exactly the same. It didn't take long for the Little Tree-Person to transfer the first few chapters of the knight novel inside.
Of course, besides knight novels, there were also some board games and the like. They were all simple, required simple materials, and could be made on the spot by the Little Tree-Person inside. The board games were also carved with rules and ways to play.
But board games need two or more people to play to be interesting. Although they were also replicated inside, according to the Little Tree-Person's feedback, the restricted little fire-person was not interested in them.
Not only was it not interested in these things, but it was also not interested in the Little Tree-Person. As long as the Little Tree-Person projected itself in, it would hide in the hot spot and no longer meet with the Little Tree-Person.
If it were An Dongni's swindling method, progress might have stopped here, but the Little Tree-Person was only responsible for delivering things.
"So what if you jump to conclusions? It's fine if I deliver things to you, right? If you don't accept it, it's fine if I throw it down and leave, right? If you don't like this, it's fine if I change it, right?"
"So what if you are stubborn? Seeing that the board games didn't move, the next day, the Little Tree-Person changed to another type of board game. Seeing that the knight novel wasn't flipped, the third day, the Little Tree-Person changed to another knight novel. Seeing that the toys didn't move, the fourth day, the Little Tree-Person changed to another type of toy."
There were also various improved Rubik's cubes, marbles, shuttlecocks—as long as it could be simply replicated, it had the Little Tree-Person move it in.
Until the twelfth day, when the Little Tree-Person put down a new toy and turned to slip away, a small head poked out from the hot spot: "Cough, hey, that, that... what happened to that God-Star Soul later?"
