As soon as Ning Shu got back to the system space, she looked down to check the condition of her soul and as she had expected, it was dim to the point it was barely visible. It was clearly severely damaged, so she hastily sat down to absorb the material in the system space in order to strengthen her soul.
She only stopped when she couldn’t absorb anything else. She then asked 2333, “What am I absorbing?”
She had been wanting to ask about this. Whatever she was absorbing, it seemed different from spirit energy.
“What you’re absorbing? It’s primordial spirit energy,” replied 2333.
Primordial spirit energy? The name sounded quite cool. She still didn’t understand what it was, but it was fine as long as it was beneficial to her.
“Let me check the experience points I got this time,” said Ning Shu. She should probably have enough points by now to open the marketplace.

Ning Shu’s attention was immediately drawn to the fact that she actually got a hundred thousand points this time. With the one hundred forty thousand points from last time, it was enough to open the system marketplace.
“I already have over two hundred thousand points. Let’s open the system marketplace!” said Ning Shu excitedly.
2333 said, “You can only open the primary system marketplace right now.”
“Yeah, I know. Make the exchange.”
“Please wait a moment, system is currently updating.” After saying that, 2333 fell silent and didn’t appear again for a long time.
Ning Shu sat on the ground to wait. When she finally couldn’t take it anymore, she said, “2333, is it done yet?”
“It’s done. You can open the marketplace now,” replied 2333.
Ning Shu immediately opened the marketplace and found that there were all sorts of things available: all sorts of pills, secret manuals, halos, weapons, even aircraft carriers, god weapons, god beasts… This was just a primary marketplace, but it already had so many things, so what would the advanced and ultra marketplaces be like?
It was unimaginable.
When Ning Shu saw that a primal chaos stone about the size of a fist actually costed two million points, she felt a hole rip open in her heart and blood gushed out of it. 2333 actually swindled a primal chaos stone that costed two million out of her!
She hammered at her heart. It f*cking hurt.
She opened her backpack and saw that there was a completely black soul pearl and a few lone spirit essence crystals. It was seriously a pitiful sight.
When she saw that the things for sale easily costs several ten thousands, hundred thousands, and million points, she felt pain in her liver. It was only now that she realized that she was dirt poor.
What made her heart seriously ache the most was still that primal chaos stone that 2333 had swindled away.
Ning Shu set her gaze on the cultivation manuals. They were all very expensive, so after considering things, she decided against buying one and decided to keep using the Unsurpassable Martial Arts. After all, she had gotten a little attached to it and she felt that it was pretty strong.
2333 then said, “Although you’ve opened the system marketplace, there are still some things you have to be aware of. First, things that are purchased from the system marketplace cannot exceed the limit of what the plane will tolerate. For example, you can’t exchange for a spacecraft in an ancient era world. Of course, you can’t afford it anyways. Second, in each world, the player is not allowed to use more than two items from the system marketplace. That means you can only use two props. This is to prevent players from deliberately destroying the plane by making use of the system marketplace. Once again, your job is to repair and protect planes, not to wreck them.”
“Understood?” asked 2333.
Ning Shu nodded. “So basically there’s restrictions on using things from the system marketplace.”
“And, I’d advise you to add more attribute points to your life level,” said 2333. “In the future, you’ll encounter worlds with higher cultivation levels. In those worlds, just one round of training in seclusion takes several dozen years. You only have fifty points in life so if your life points run out in the task world, it’ll be game over for you.”
“Stop adding your points to martial arts all the time. You have to be well-rounded, you know?”
After Ning Shu heard what 2333 said, she nodded. “I got it. This time I’ll allocate all of my attribute points to life.”
2333: …
