LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 226: Save someone?
Noan could only smile upon hearing this: "Fine, if you don't want to tell me, it's alright."
He didn't care much to know Isabell's secret. He had wanted to find a way to travel easily between the 'Anomaly Point' and the City before.
This way, he could accomplish a lot, especially with transporting supplies.
But now, things had changed. He had gained the ability to create 'Anchor Points.' He could cross the gap between the two worlds as long as he had enough energy and resources.
When he first arrived here, he had tried using the 'Anchor Point' function, and he could return to the 'Anchor Point' he had placed on Noralia.
It just required a huge amount of energy and many energy crystals.
Even though the cost was high, this proved that the 'Anchor Point' function was compelling.
Isabell, seeing that Noan had easily given up, silently speculated on his thoughts.
"It seems you're truly more impressive than I thought," Isabell said with a smile.
"Ah! I have another incredibly powerful ability. Would you like to try it now?" Noan smiled, his words revealing a great deal of desire.
Isabell wasn't angry. She only smiled and responded, "I hope you can handle it. If not, dying in the middle of the fun would be disappointing."
Noan smiled without saying anything, then stood and headed toward his room.
At that moment, Isabell's voice echoed from behind, "Remember, that room is 'our' bedroom."
She intentionally emphasized the phrase 'our' for Noan to hear. He just waved his hand as a gesture of goodbye, then entered the elevator.
Isabell took another sip of tea, but as the cup touched her lips, she noticed something on the table.
A single black hair.
Yes, it was Noan's hair.
She smiled, extending her snow-white hand, as perfect as a work of art, toward the hair.
Isabell used her nails to pick up Noan's hair precisely, then… placed it in her mouth.
She began savoring it, and then a strange and twisted smile appeared on her face: "Delicious… I wonder… how good you will taste, Noan..."
…
Noan returned to his room and felt a chill, as if someone was watching him.
But he didn't think much about it, lying down on the bed to rest for a bit.
Facing Isabell, he had been under an immense, invisible pressure, leaving his mind utterly exhausted.
He lay on the bed, but he wasn't idle. Instead, he decided to try using a resource card.
Since the resource cards were useless for the Lords forced into the 'Chaotic World,' he didn't want to bring these cards there.
If these cards couldn't be used in the 'Chaotic World,' he would suffer a huge loss.
Therefore, he decided to try using them here.
Moreover, each resource card could only hold up to 20 million units of resources, and there were various types. They couldn't all be stacked together in one slot, which took up a lot of space in his 'Storage Space.'
[Ding! You have successfully used a resource card and received 7 million units of wood, 5 million units of stone, 1 million units of iron, 10,000 units of gold, and 1,000 units of metal.
All have been placed in the 'Storage Space.']
Noan was pleased upon seeing this. It seemed that he could use the resource cards at the 'Anomaly Point' and then bring them into the 'Chaotic World.'
"Damn it!" Noan cursed as he looked at the electronic board displaying the 'Storage Space.'
The 'Storage Space,' which had once had plenty of room, was immediately filled with resources, leaving only two empty slots.
Noan slapped his head, feeling incredibly foolish. He had forgotten that each slot in the 'Storage Space' could only hold 999 units of the same resource.
If he received too much of the same type of resource, only 999 units could be stacked in one slot, which would occupy many slots.
Just by using one resource card, almost all the slots in the Storage Space were filled, giving him a massive headache.
"If only I had another 'Storage Space'… that would be great." Noan muttered.
He currently has two 'Storage Spaces' of type x99 slots, but even if he had another x99 space, it wouldn't solve the problem.
After all, there were just too many resources, and they could easily fill all the remaining empty slots.
The spatial stone was also complete and couldn't hold any more. Ultimately, he could only sigh, temporarily putting the issue aside.
During his ten days at the 'Anomaly Point,' he would need to find a way to solve this problem. Otherwise, the resources he had now might go to waste.
Noan continued checking the 'Anchor Point,' wanting to see how many resources he would need to return to Noralia's side.
[Ding! To teleport to 'Anchor Point' number 2, you need 1,000 D-rank essence crystals.]
Noan saw the system's notification and sighed a light sigh of relief.
This showed that he could still return whenever he wanted, but the resources were a bit much.
He wasn't too worried because he still had the 'Resource Production Center.' He was sure he could harvest more resources as long as he kept upgrading it.
Noan frowned and decided to try teleporting to the 'Anchor Point' on Lylia's body.
[Ding! To teleport to 'Anchor Point' number 1, you need 100 B-rank essence crystals.]
"It seems the world where Lylia is located is far from here," Noan stroked his chin and frowned.
He shook his head, temporarily dismissing the thought of teleporting to the 'Anchor Point'. After all, Isabell was still here, and he didn't want her to know about this ability of his.
Noan didn't stop, continuing to look towards the parts of the 9 Machine Heroes.
He thought for a moment and then decided to ignore them for now.
While Noan was feeling somewhat stumped, a voice suddenly rang in his ear.
"Do you want to make a deal with me?"
"Hm?!" Noan was slightly startled, and then, a strange fragrance assaulted his nostrils.
The scent was very strong, similar to that of the Lethal Bloom flower, a toxic flower, but also the one representing witches in this world.
Noan slowly turned his head and looked toward Isabell, who was sitting behind him. She gently placed her hands on his shoulders, her face just a few centimeters from his.
Her breath, carrying the fragrance of the Lethal Bloom flower, irresistibly swept across his face, causing him to feel an inexplicable sensation.
"You want to trade what?" Noan frowned and asked.
Isabell smiled and took out a bronze key, saying, "I just discovered a portal leading to the Challenge Space. Do you want it?"
Upon hearing this, Noan's eyes lit up. He knew his current medal could help him become nearly an invincible being in the 'Challenge Spaces'.
If he could find a 'Challenge Space', he would undoubtedly be able to harvest many things.
However, Noan knew that in this world, nothing came for free.
He frowned and asked, "What do you want?"
"Hahaha… don't act so cold like that." Isabell smiled, blowing a puff of purple smoke from her mouth into Noan's face.
"It's very simple, I need you to help me save someone." Isabell said, her voice full of charm.
"Save someone?" Noan asked, confused.
"Yes, she's one of my subordinates. Don't worry, she's gorgeous. If you save her, I'll let her be your woman." Isabell said, her tone full of seduction and allure.
"Ah! So working for you will come with many benefits, right?" Noan laughed, then added, "But are you really willing to give her to me? Could it be that she's ugly?"
"No… she's very beautiful, a B-rank Landlord. It's just that she can't level up to rank 4." Isabell answered with a smile.
"Can't level up to rank 4? Then she's useless?" Noan pursed his lips and said, "Isabell, you know I don't want to keep any useless people by my side."
"Ah! What about Noralia? She's not a Landlord, but you still love her, pamper her to the point that it makes me jealous."
Upon hearing Isabell's words, Noan furrowed his brows, his gaze turning cold. "Noralia is my woman, and that girl is your subordinate. How can I fully trust your subordinate?"
"Unless… you also become my woman."
