Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 1670: Purchases



Ning felt sleep approaching, but he pushed it aside for the moment to check on his points. He needed to plan what he was going to do next. There would be dozens of guards searching for a young girl of 15 and a young man with a missing arm tomorrow. They couldn't just walk out and leave.

Were they going to have to use another invisibility scroll?

He looked at the points he had and was pleasantly surprised. "22 Points?" he thought. "Even after I bought all those scrolls?"

He vaguely remembered getting a notification when he was leaving the village with Shara. "I received more points back then," he thought. He was happy to see he had so many points.

"What should I buy?" he thought. He knew he was going to have to buy multiple things instead of just a single item. With their current state, he couldn't afford to buy just one expensive thing like the Minor Scroll of Cognition which cost 22 points, or the Self-Mending Clothing of Choice which cost 18 points.

It would have to be something with the best value for them at the moment.

'To escape, I will need to use another Invisibility scroll,' Ning thought. That cost 8 points, leaving him with 14 more points.

'Will I have food and water for the next few days?' he wondered. If not, he could buy the Ever- filled Bottle for 6 points and the Hunger Relieving Potion for 6 points.

'I should buy the water just for the sake of not getting sick. And I can use it forever too,' he thought. 'But the potion... it can only be used once and by one person. One of us will have to go hungry or I will have to get more points.'

Instead, Ning decided that the better choice here was to buy the Dimensional Storage instead. It cost him 5 points, leaving him with 3 points in the end.

He could restore his energy with the 3 points if needed or buy a random weapon for 2 points there wasn't much to think about beyond that.

Ning didn't waste any time buying the Dimensional Storage and felt it appear within him. <Ding!>

<1 of 1 Tiny Dimensional Storage has been purchased>

<You may access the Dimensional Storage through 'Inventory'>

"Inventory," Ning said softly, calling out to his status. A moment later, a blue panel appeared in front of him with 'Inventory' written on top.

The inventory itself was many empty boxes in a 20 by 20 grid.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

[Total Space: 796 cm2]

To Ning's surprise, there were items within the Inventory already, occupying a bit of the space

"Oh?" Ning said in surprise when he saw that the first slot of the inventory had been filled with a scroll icon. There was a scroll within his inventory already?

He wondered what it did.

He clicked on it and information about the scroll popped up.

[Scroll of Fireball]

"Ah! The last fireball scroll," Ning remembered he had only used two, so the last one was still within the system itself, waiting for him to bring it out. It seemed it had moved to his inventory automatically.

He tried to pull it out of the inventory and the scroll flew right out into his palm. He pushed it back into the inventory and it disappeared right back to the first slot.

"That's handy," he thought. It wasn't as handy as having the entire thing work with just a thought, but given his current situation where his mental faculties were not as good as when he had his original body, it was more than handy.

After checking the inventory for a few more minutes, he moved on to the other things and bought the one thing that would be very much necessary tomorrow.

The Scroll of Invisibility.

It appeared conveniently in his Inventory, which he rather liked about the thing. Having spent 13 points, he had 9 more points to spend.

He decided not to spend his remaining points on the bottle right away. He might have to end up buying another Invisibility pill or something else entirely. He couldn't waste his points right away.

Ning began thinking about many other things and didn't realize when he dozed off. When he woke up, the world outside of the door had already begun their day.

The sound of a bustling city made its way through the door, bright light streaming through the gap, brightening the entire room.

Only now did Ning see what sort of place he had been sleeping in. It was a small room with no more than 10 feet in all directions.

The floor was wooden, and he was sleeping on top of a table in the corner. It looked like a butcher's table. Was he in a closed-down butcher's shop?

He looked for Shara but didn't find her anywhere.

'Where did she go?' he thought, curious. The door seemed tightly locked from the outside. He looked around and found the pieces of paper from the food yesterday and his spear thrown to the side of the room.

He looked at the spear and then his arm. The bandage work on his arm was amateur, but Shara had done her best. Perhaps because his healing was much better than regular humans, his wound had healed quite a bit.

The one on his arm hurt a lot, but there were other wounds around his body too, and those had healed. It also seemed like he hadn't needed a blood transfusion.

'Did I drink a healing potion?' Ning wondered. He must have, or else it wouldn't have healed

so quickly. 'God, I can't remember anything.'

The last thing he remembered was Shara holding him as they moved out of the village. Everything she had done or he had done was completely vacant from his mind.

"Oh! You're awake," Shara called out, appearing inside the room.

Ning was startled and looked toward her, not realizing how she was suddenly in the room.

"Did you... teleport in?" he asked.

"Hmm? Oh no," Shara said. "I walked through the wall."
