[Comprehension Skill: Resonance, current skill level 1.]
[Resonance: Planes: Land power is the tendency of the world, and it is the protection given to life born from the world. Resonance teaches learners how to coexist with a region, obtain the highest land power in their area, and become the agent of the universe.]
Suddenly, some skills emerged in Noita's mind. Inspirations about how to please the planes and nests, how to guide the situation in a place to use for one's own benefit, etc. gushed out like a spring, and all were recorded in the diary.
too easy.
At this point the book is of little use to Noita, but Noita needs to show a desire and cherishment for the book.
After putting away the books, Noita turned to observe the dream stabilization device.
It looks like a half-meter-high triangular prism made of bone. It is pale white and looks very evil.
But it is actually a device created after receiving divine blessing.
【Dream Stabilization Device】
[Alchemical creation, outstanding artifact, stable, stone aspect]
[This sacred artifact, blessed with the Seventh Level of Blessing, creates a protected area within a twenty-meter radius where it stands, unaffected by chaotic environments. According to scholarly testing, it can negate the effects of resetting small secret realms.]
【Bow to order and holiness.】
The Association has many magical items that can protect an area from being reset, and Noita doesn't know where the raw materials for this device come from.
But the description is very useful.
Noita glanced at the rest of the supplies and took them back to the secret realm.
It takes psychic energy to carry materials out of the gate city. When Noita opened his eyes, he felt that his psychic energy was obviously reduced.
She smiled indifferently. The loss of psychic energy was acceptable. The total weight of this aid was less than a ton, which could not reach the upper limit of Noita's psychic energy after her persistent strengthening.
The supplies that appeared out of nowhere scared Miaoyin Bird.
She carefully observed the stabilization device and magical materials, surprised: "Is there really help?"
"I have someone above me, and I need supplies quickly."
"That's great." Miaoyinniao quickly adjusted her mindset and exclaimed in amazement, "The Adventurer's Association is quite efficient. We've only been here for an afternoon, and they've managed to prepare all these things in a timely manner despite a five-fold time difference. That's impressive."
Miaoyin Bird paused, her voice suddenly becoming serious. "They're truly impressive! No wonder they've been able to expand their influence and business across Gaia. If the associations in the Rongguan Kingdom harbor any ulterior motives..."
The consequences could be disastrous.
In an instant, the bird of prey came up with several ways to make the situation of the kingdom worse.
The resources controlled by the Adventurer's Association are enough to influence the political affairs of many countries. It can be said that if they deviate from their neutral position even slightly, it will mean a disaster for many countries.
The dragon's turn is a disaster for the ants.
The Adventurer's Association has always existed, but today Miaoyin Bird woke up from a dream and discovered for the first time the horror of this behemoth.
Noita smiled and explained to Miaoyinniao, "This isn't a normal speed. I have Chaofan as my backer, so many resources are given priority. In reality, the Adventurer's Association's approval process is much slower than this. If we follow the normal process, which involves review, verification, background checks, and so on, it will take about a week to receive the supplies."
"Ah."
Miaoyinniao's worries were somewhat alleviated, but the worry about the association being too big still lingered in her heart.
Miaoyin Bird then asked, "Why are you applying for these supplies?"
This is a difficult question to answer. Miaoyin Bird's sense of ownership makes her regard the secret realm of Swan Land as her private territory, and subconsciously feels that this place belongs to her.
If the answer is not good, it may lead to a gunfight on the spot.
Noita thought for a while and replied, "Save the world."
PS: Today I experienced the real-life version of the classic story where you can’t open the door from this side and the key to the door is inside the room. Why am I not a professional Qixiang professional?
Sorry, there is only one chapter today, I will make up for it tomorrow.
Chapter 163 It's You
"Huh?" Miaoyin Bird's brain obviously couldn't immediately understand the meaning of these words, and its eyes were clear.
How did the topic suddenly shift to such a grand narrative?
While the bird was still dazed, Noita continued, "The Dark Moon Land is facing a crisis. I want to build the secret realm of the Swan Land deep within into a forward base, making it strong enough to protect it from being destroyed by any crisis that may come at any time."
"Strengthening the secret realm is a good thing, but why is the Dark Moon Land suddenly facing a crisis?"
Miaoyin Bird's knowledge of the outside world was only known a long time ago. At most, it knew that the Adventurer's Association wanted to know how to develop the dream of the gods.
In fact, there are countless rumors in the outside world about the dangers of Typhon's dream, and rumors of an impending danger that will affect the entire country are also widely circulated.
The Judgment Hall's announcement confirmed that Dark Moon Land was facing a crisis, but the extent and scope of the impact had yet to be determined. The prevailing consensus was that the danger was minor, but not significant, and that Serkar and the Adventurer's Guild could handle it.
They had discovered the cause of the danger: it was simply the overuse of the earth's leylines, causing some deeply buried past events to surface. Dark Moon Land was rich in everything, but limited in scope for human activity. Most of the land was occupied by magical beasts, so even if a large number of enemies emerged, the first to bear the brunt would likely be the magical beasts that were their friendly neighbors.
Serkar is well prepared for battle and believes that his side can easily overcome this crisis.
If we tell them now that this disaster will sweep across the vast Dark Moon Land and destroy all means of defense, I am afraid it will be laughed at.
But this is the current situation that Noita knows.
Even though she reminded them, the Serkar people did not take it seriously and remained optimistic and arrogant about their own strength.
After listening to Noita's story, Miaoyin Bird nodded and said, "So you want to solve this disaster?"
"No one can solve it. All I can do is minimize the damage caused by the disaster. I want to transform the secret realm into a forward base to conquer more secret realms and understand and observe the secret realms ahead."
After saying this, Noita prepared for battle, guarding against the bullets that the Mirabird would shoot in anger after hearing his request.
But the beautiful bird accepted all this calmly and was even in the mood to eat a plate of peanuts.
"So that's how it is. Just go ahead and do what you want. I won't cause you any trouble."
The bird noticed Noita's wariness and quickly understood her concerns. It offered some words of advice, "Don't be too wary of me. I have no desire to rule this secret realm. If I did, it would have been mine long ago. Don't look at me as a playboy now. I used to know the weaknesses of the powerful within this secret realm. Conquering this place is easy."
"It's just too boring. It's not me you need to be wary of, but others," said Miaoyin Bird. "Since you want to transform this place into a forward base, there will definitely be a lot of people coming and going here in the future. I don't mind this, but will the others also care?"
"Swan Land is covered in golden sand, and even the water ripples with golden light. Some people are counting on it to make a fortune. If you entice the Association to come in and take over the gold mine, it would be a complete disaster for those lost people who dream of getting rich. They will hate you."
The mountain of gold is right in front of us. It would be a lie to say that no one has any unrealistic thoughts. It’s just that there is no hope of getting out and the secret realm is wasting time day after day, which makes the lost people realize that they have money but cannot spend it, so they give up.
If there really is a way out, the Lost will be the most crazy money-makers.
Cutting off someone's source of income is like killing their parents. Miaoyinniao is worried that Noita's intention to allow association members to move in here will arouse public anger.
"Public outrage? I'm not afraid." Noita thought Miaoyin Bird's worries were groundless. "Even if they were tied together, they wouldn't be enough for me to fight. So what's the use of their anger? Besides, it's not like I forbid them from taking money from the secret realm. As long as they can do it, even if it means emptying the gold mine, I'm fine."
Given the huge gap, Noita didn't think the others would become greedy and make unwise moves.
Noita continued, "This is too far away. I don't know how long it will take for the people in the association to come here. Besides, they seem to be lacking interest and think this place has no strategic value. Tsk."
"Didn't you tell them about the gold mine?"
"I said, maybe they feel the cost of mining is greater than the benefits."
Noita shook her head: "Let's not talk about this anymore. I have another thing I need your help with."
"About saving the world?"
"Yes."
Noita's lips twitched. She felt awkward hearing the words about saving the world from the bird's mouth.
Everything Noita has done since her reincarnation until now has been to accumulate enough experience to become a legend. Saving the world is on her to-do list, but its priority is about the same as "staying up late with a cup of coffee tonight", and it only comes up occasionally on a whim.
But having said that, Noita didn't want to refuse by saying "Sorry, I was just kidding."
In her heart, Noita raised the priority of saving the world a little. She said, "The secret realm is still very fragile and can be easily destroyed by natural disasters in the dream. I want your help to make the secret realm stable."
"How to help?"
"Become the ruler of this secret realm."
Confusion first appeared in those crosshairs. The bird whispered the future Noita had prepared for her: "Mysterious Realm Ruler? What is this?"
She understood the word literally, but how did she become the dominant one?
She had no idea what to do in the past 276 months, but the newly arrived Noita had a solution. This contrast seemed absurd to Miaoyin Bird, as if she had heard a joke that made her want to laugh.
There are mixed feelings behind the smile.
"I have the skills to become the master of the secret realm."
Miaoyin Bird's fingers tensed unconsciously, as if it wanted to touch the gun.
Noita took a look, paused, and continued, "This requires you to sign a contract with me and become my nominal follower under the witness of the waves. Only then can I give it to you."
"In name?"
"Yes, there are no actual obligations. I will also sign another contract with you later to stipulate your responsibilities after becoming the master of the secret realm. It will probably be to adjust the strength and location of the secret realm and prevent some disasters."
"What can I get?"
"The status of the Lord of the Secret Realm grants you the highest authority within the Secret Realm and unlimited support from the Secret Realm. Here, you are equivalent to a transcendent. Even if you leave the Secret Realm one day, you will still retain a certain degree of blessing."
"That sounds great, but why don't you take on this role yourself, pushing it onto me instead? My mother once taught me that if something has immense benefits, but someone else is pushing it onto you, there's a 90% chance that the harm is greater than the benefit." Miaoyin Bird smiled softly. "Are you the remaining 10%?"
Miaoyin Bird suspected that there was a big problem hidden in this matter.
Noita answered truthfully, "I can't stay here forever, but since we've decided to build this into a forward base, a Secret Realm Master capable of commanding the entire situation is indispensable. You're the only Level 2 Lost One, so I have no choice but to choose you. And you have decent character, so I believe you won't do anything wrong."
The implication is that they don’t want to choose you, but they can only choose you.
Miaoyin Bird chuckled: "I've already done that before. I just reset everything and didn't leave any records. I agree to this. When will the contract be signed?"
Chapter 164 Deception
The preparation for the resonance ceremony takes a lot of time, but fortunately, time is worthless in the secret realm.
With the knowledge about resonance flowing through his mind, Noita stood on the top of a rock on a high ground, overlooking the panoramic view of the secret realm, sketching the picture of the ceremony in his mind and surveying the location that would serve as the key point of the ceremony.
From daytime observation to dusk, Noita was only touched and had not yet found the key location. This was normal. If a level 1 resonance scientist wanted to arrange a proper ceremony, he would have to spend time and polish it. If he took it slowly, he would always find the right node.
And she also has to wait for the association to send enough ceremony materials.
There is no need to rush.
As dusk fell, Noita returned to the tavern to rest. The beautiful bird waited at a table for a long time, and two bottles of wine were already empty in his chest.
When Noita sat down, Miaoyin Bird took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and covered the table with it.
"Muse and the others knew you could send letters, so they assumed you could purchase some supplies from the outside world. However, they didn't dare to come to you. After spending a long time planning, they came to me and sent a message, hoping for your help."
Noita pulled out the paper and saw several lines of black words with the names of many luxury goods written on them, some of which even Noita had never heard of.
Just a few words about guns and other life-saving things.
Noita almost laughed out loud: "How come they can remember luxury goods so clearly in the countryside?"
The beautiful bird lowered its eyes awkwardly, not wanting to meet Noita's gaze.
"I don't know why they remember these things so clearly when they were bragging to the people in the secret realm... Hey, are you willing to buy these things for them?"
"Yes, of course I would, but the price might be a bit high. These things are not cheap."
Noita has a monopoly advantage. Since these people want to buy these unimportant things, she has to charge more money. After all, the consumed spiritual energy also needs to be replenished and restored.
“They don’t mind.”
Miaoyinniao guarantees that there will be no objection to the price.
We are all professionals, so we naturally have no shortage of hands-on skills. Over the years, when we are short of money, we go to the gang headquarters or other places to get some gold. Over time, we have become familiar with the process.
Noita's smile became more obvious.
Now I have the power to set prices.
Seeing Noita's generous agreement, Miaoyin Bird looked around and whispered her request: "Get me two bottles of Empire-produced ice grape mead. I haven't had it in a long time and I'm craving it."
Noita extended his hand and said, "No problem, one kilogram of gold for one bottle."
Miaoyin Bird glared at him and said, "You are asking for too much."
"Then don't drink."
"Okay! I'll give it to you tomorrow."
Miaoyin Bird was so angry that he gritted his teeth and went to cause trouble for the local gang at night.
Noita laughed in silence, picked up an unopened bottle from Rulin's bottles, and slowly drank it.
