After she finished getting the stuff she needed, she started browsing through the marketplace and found that some things were only exchangeable with faith points. Not only that, the prices easily went up to several ten thousand faith points.
Ning Shu glanced over at her one point of faith, then silently closed the marketplace. This marketplace seriously liked to remind her at every turn of how dirt poor she was.
She didn’t rush into the next task and instead, took a book from the bookshelf and sat down on the sofa to start reading. Of course, with Ning Shu’s intelligence, she couldn’t read things that were too profound.
However, reading a little to increase her intelligence wasn’t a bad way to spend time.
2333：……
“Compared to reading these useless books, wouldn’t it be better to add some attribute points to intelligence?” 2333 finally couldn’t take just watching anymore.
Ning Shu exclaimed, “Oh, I forgot. I’ll add some to intelligence next time. But, can something like intelligence really be increased with points?”
“How come you believe that martial arts can be increased with points, but not intelligence?” asked 2333.
Ning Shu said, “Something like intelligence is fixed. Can it really be increased just by adding a couple attribute points?”
2333: …
“You should really add some attribute points to intelligence. Having higher intelligence will help you come up with ways to solve the task effectively and speed up your task completion rate.”
2333 was very annoyed with the way Ning Shu always added the attribute points to martial arts. Can it be that all she saw was the benefit of martial arts? Couldn’t she see the benefits of the other attributes?
“The truly wise are always able to come up with plans and manipulate people with perfect precision,” said 2333. “Those types of people don’t need enormous strength but still almost always make it out of everything unscathed.”
Ning Shu nodded. “It must be so tiring.”
It felt like a mass amount of her brain cells were dying just from hearing about it.

2333: …
“So you don’t feel tired from swinging a sword around all day?” 2333 felt that he had a duty to guide this task-taker onto the right path. How great could a person’s strength possibly grow? Once she encountered something she couldn’t deal with on her own, she’d need outside help.
Those kinds of situation tested a person’s intelligence. Some people were able to resolve things easily, but some people wouldn’t be able to.
2333：……
If a person only had brawns and no brains, they wouldn’t be able to get far.
“Fighting really isn’t tiring, but I’ll learn to use my brain in the future. I’ll work hard to practice,” said Ning Shu while nodding.
She had always felt that intelligence was something that slowly accumulated. The more of the world you saw, the more your intelligence would naturally increase.
Ning Shu closed the book, then trained for another while. Once her soul became more stable, she said to 2333, “Let’s head into the task.”
Right after Ning Shu said that, she felt a vibration in her head. Following that, there was the sound of all sorts of mechanical instructions. Lines of code flashed past her eyes as her ears filled with the loud crackling of electric currents.
This sound made goosebumps pop up all over her body.
When she opened her eyes again, she found that she was in front of a valley and that she was currently sitting on the ground. Her hand was placed on her ankle and her ankle was slightly red and swollen. However, she didn’t actually feel anything.
She felt her body up and down. She was currently wearing an elegant ancient era outfit and her hair was tied up with a simple headband.
This body felt solid and real, but there was no heartbeat. This body didn’t even seem capable of breathing.
She reflexively took a couple deep breaths, but breathing was no different from not breathing.
She couldn’t feel the cold, heat, or pain. Other than self-awareness, there was nothing else.
What had she become this time?
She looked around. This place was very beautiful. There was a river and a forest. Everything down to the last strand of grass looked very real, but there were no signs of human habitation. A bird flew past in front of Ning Shu and she reached out to catch it, only to find that this bird also didn’t exhibit any normal signs of life.
