Chapter 90 - Seed of Providence
Chapter 90: Seed of Providence
“Ah, that’s possible?”
“Sister Zhou, haven’t you been worried that you won’t be able to see your master and senior sisters after arriving at our settlement?
“Let’s enter the Battlefield of Providence and obtain the ‘keepsake’. Perhaps we can bring them to our settlement!
Upon hearing this, Ning Ling’s eyes lit up as she said to Zhou Zhiruo beside her.
“May I ask if there’s a way to directly generate a background related to your origins in this Battlefield of Providence?”
Zhou Zhiruo, who had concealed her true appearance, asked after some thought.
“This… is almost impossible. This is because the formation of any ‘battlefield world’ involves the wrestling between the light from providence of two or even more civilizations. And once you provide a background of your own, then one side will undoubtedly obtain a large advantage. It will be stopped and tampered with by the other side. Therefore, there might even be some backgrounds that don’t match your understanding. However, because of the projection, the personalities of highly popular characters usually wouldn’t change…”
The purple-dressed female manager shook her head.
“Hmm, unless…”
However, she suddenly thought of something and hesitated.
“Unless what?” Ning Ling widened her eyes and asked curiously.
“Unless it’s someone who has become a ‘seed’ chosen by the light from providence shining on a particular human civilization. Perhaps the power of providence on their side will treat them better and try its best to provide them with a more familiar world background. It might even arrange for some powerful heroes to help them clinch victory,” the purple-dressed female manager said.
“Seed of Providence?”
Zhou Zhiruo frowned and muttered softly.
“Ah, that’s unfair!”
Ning Ling widened her eyes.
“True fairness does not exist anywhere!”
The purple-dressed female manager shook her head.
“In any world or plane, it’s inevitable that there are so-called ‘Children of Providence’ and ‘People of Destiny’. They might not even need to work hard to obtain something that others can’t obtain even if they work hard their entire lives… In the Land of Inheritance, these seeds of providence are chosen based on certain principles. In fact, relatively speaking, it already depends on one’s ability.
“Furthermore, it can’t be completely unfair. When the background is beneficial to oneself, then his opponents will definitely obtain an advantage over him in other areas, such as the number of people in the same faction or the qualification to enter the map in advance…
“In short, the Battlefield of Providence adheres to the principle of balance in the battle. However, it’s ultimately easier for true experts to win!”
Her words undoubtedly made Lu Zhishen and Zhou Zhiruo show looks of agreement.
“Ah, I’m only a Silver Card. It’s definitely impossible for me to be the ‘Child of Providence’ of Mother Earth!”
Ning Ling sounded disappointed.
“By the way, Sister Yu, are there any options to form a team in the Battlefield of Providence?”
However, her large eyes rolled twice as though she seemed to think of something. She asked the purple-dressed female manager named Yu Long with a look of anticipation.
“Yes!”
“If people from the same settlement enter at the same time, there’s a high chance that they will be assigned to the same Battlefield of Providence. And if people from different settlements have a certain connection, they might be assigned to the same battlefield when they enter at the same time.
“If it’s not any of the two, it’s said that there are also items obtained from the Battlefield of Providence that can allow people to complete their ‘team lineup’!”
The purple-dressed manager had an immortal-like aura. As the exchange in the City of Humans was done through “intent”,
everyone could completely understand what she meant despite using Earth lingo.
“However, having too many people might not be a good thing.
“This is because when a large number of people in a settlement enter the same ‘Battle of Providence’, not only will it weaken the settlement’s defensive capabilities, but once it fails, the losses will be unbearable!
“Furthermore, the more people there are, the more Civilization Coins are needed for entry into the Battlefield of Providence.
That’s right. Just like logging into the City of Humans, one had to pay a certain amount of Civilization Coins to enter the “Battle of Providence” based on the number of items they carried!
Some of these Civilization Coins were used to support the operation of the Battlefield of Providence, while the rest were used as rewards.
Theoretically, those who were strong enough could earn back these “Civilization Coins”.
Furthermore, if someone brought in overly powerful items, then out of balance, their opponent would most likely benefit in other aspects, such as the strengthening of the battlefield’s setting. Furthermore, the conditions to achieve victory would become even more stringent.
In addition, one had to bear the risk that if they failed, the items would belong to the victor!
Therefore, I suggest that excess items should be directly sent back to the settlement.
“If you plan on using it after exiting the Battlefield of Providence, you can also place it in your exclusive rooms in the Three Thousand Restaurant. Even if you fail and return to the settlement, you can still teleport back the items by expending the power of providence!
“Of course, I believe that with your abilities, you definitely won’t fail. You will definitely be the winner,” the purple-dressed female manager smiled and said.
“Chief Lu, what are your thoughts?”
Ji Ye looked at the “pale-faced, beardless” Lu Zhishen.
“Master, I’ll leave the decision to you!”
Lu Zhishen answered.
However, there was obvious interest in his eyes.
Although he was not a warmonger, it was undoubtedly very meaningful to experience the experts of other human civilizations.
As for “failure”?
How could a Perfect-level hero not have confidence?
“Alright, let’s first send the items back before choosing to enter the Battlefield of Providence!”
…
[You brought: Black Serpent Sword, Totem Wolf Skin, Nine Yang Art, Ruby Crystals, Rejuvenation Beads… Entering the “Battle of Providence” requires a total of: 505 Civilization Coins!]
Standing in front of the beam of light, a notification appeared in Ji Ye’s mind.
Not only did he bring two weapons, but he also brought the Nine Yang Art he had just obtained from his trade with Zhou Zhiruo.
This was because the purple-dressed female manager said that the flow of time in the “Battle of Providence” was different.
Therefore, he wanted to verify a certain idea. Furthermore, because the “martial arts manual” was not a tool that could directly enhance one’s combat strength, the cost of bringing it in wasn’t much. He had enough Honor for the conversion!
In comparison, apart from Wolf Totem that spent the most Civilization Coins, his three attributes had already reached Extraordinary Rank-3.
Yes, even his body, mind, and soul power needed payment.
Therefore, he had to obediently throw away the idea of cultivating a body-tempering cultivation technique and only wearing his underwear to rip the benefits.
“Brother Ji, wait a moment!”
However, just as Golden Cards appeared beside Ji Ye and Lu Zhishen as they prepared to pay the Civilization Coins for entry, a voice sounded.
“Hehe, Brother Ji, let our two settlements enter at the same time. Perhaps we can be assigned to the same battlefield.”
Ning Ling, who had jogged over, blinked her large eyes and grinned as usual.
