Chapter 1073: Couldn’t Escape
Chapter 1073: Couldn’t Escape
Nathan asked, “Do you want to ask something? For now, I will allow three questions.”
Charlotte’s eyes brightened. “Wait. Wait. Three questions? That is not enough.”
“So, you want me to reduce it to two? The person himself is still having a hard time figuring out everything, so asking a lot of questions will not give you answers. Instead, it will just make him hate you. If you don’t take it, then I will just ask Selena to recall him.”
“No, wait. Let me think…” Charlotte panicked, racking her brain to find a question that could satisfy her curiosity. “I know what I should ask. How do you evolve? This is a path that has never been seen before. Although your expertise can suddenly go up, your body has to keep up. Hence, you shouldn’t evolve.”
“I’m not entirely sure myself. What I know is that after seeing the technique from the Blood Cult, my memory resurfaced, which was the cause of the evolution.” Ying Zhen shook his head helplessly.
“From the looks of it, it’s not that he evolves, it’s that he has just returned,” added Nathan. “It’s similar to your case, Charlotte. To be summoned to this world, you have to seal a portion of your power, right?”
“My ena, yes.”
“Yes, Jiangshi is a living corpse. What corpse do they use? It’s the corpse of their original body. In other words, this body is Baek Jin-Ho’s body.
“However, everything related to Baek Jin-Ho has been sealed because of his death. As a result, the personality of Ying Zhen is formed.
“Still, the body is Baek Jin-Ho’s, meaning the body has the power of a transcendent. But because his soul is now Ying Zhen, his state is registered that way by the world.
“In the end, the world is just a database. It records your information and stores it. Since the soul of Ying Zhen seals the existence of Baek Jin-Ho, it’s no wonder why it looks like he has evolved when, actually, he just regained his former identity.
“The world registered that new information, which is why Baek Jin-Ho’s name is there alongside Ying Zhen. Still, soul is soul and body is body. His quality increases because this is the body of Baek Jin-Ho.
“That’s how it looks. I believe I’m making the correct assumption right now. I have tried to erase someone’s name or even change their name by altering the world’s record.”
“What did you say?” Charlotte’s eyes became fiercer. “Database? New information? Changing someone’s name? Altering the world’s record? You did what? It looks like you have a lot of things to tell me…”
“Ah.” Nathan wanted to spout some bullshit connecting all the information, but to do that, he had to add the new information about the world being a database. He forgot this was a much bigger matter than Ying Zhen, especially for Charlotte.
He didn’t realize he had just shot himself in the foot when trying to help Ying Zhen.
Charlotte didn’t even hesitate to push him to the floor, pinning both his arms and legs.
“My dear husband… Now that I look at you, you have become more charming today. Why don’t we have a little date right now?”
“…” Nathan panicked and turned to the side. Ying Zhen bowed politely to Nathan while saying, “It looks like my summoner is calling for me. Allow me to excuse myself, as I don’t want to disturb the two of you.”
“Ying Zhen. You traitor!” Nathan panicked, but he realized it wasn’t Ying Zhen’s idea. It was Selena’s idea. It looked like Selena and the others were paying him back for giving the name Reckmoon to Evelyn first without even telling them.
“We can discuss this later, Charlotte. If you do this, I will shut my mouth the whole time.” Nathan tried to threaten Charlotte, but it was useless.
“Shut your mouth? Do you think you can do that?” Charlotte licked her lips. “It looks like those girls are allowing me to do everything I want today. Have you offended them? Oh my, it looks like my charming husband has created another trouble with another woman outside…”
Nathan’s face turned pale. He definitely couldn’t escape this time.
“Now that I think about it, where is my teacher? There’s something I want to ask my teacher. Considering I’m about to make my domain, I need some information about herbs.” Nathan had thought of another idea. Usually, shifting Charlotte’s focus would be enough.
And the matter of domain was much easier to explain than this one, so he could escape once he got to his teacher.
“Domain?”
’Got her.’ Nathan smiled inwardly, knowing it was time to shift the topic. “That’s right. I’m planning to make a domain soon. My ability hasn’t reached that level yet, but there’s one type of contract that inspires me. It’s the Land Contract.
“If I have a land contract with the world directly, I can definitely create a unique domain. I might even be able to expel anyone I don’t want to have on my property. This will be the first property that is owned by an individual and registered by the world itself.
“And since my element is time, I want to adjust the time within my domain, which will be usable for herbs. If they can grow at a much higher pace, we will be able to grow a lot of herbs in that domain.
“That’s why I need my teacher. I need to pick a mountain suitable for those herbs and other knowledge to make sure that it’s a successful project.” Nathan nodded furiously.
“I see… That sounds interesting. I have some knowledge about herbs, but it’s not as deep as your teacher’s. And a title deed that is recognized by the world instead of kingdoms, huh? This is something no one has ever seen before.”
“I know, right? That’s why, can you move first?” Nathan was glad that he had swayed Charlotte’s focus. With this, he could escape.
However, Charlotte added with a big smile. “That is something I’d like to see, but we can see it after we have a lengthy chat regarding this database.”
His heart sank.
*Thud—!*
