Chapter 475 I Don't Want the Void Terminal
Hearing Tina's explanation, Xu Ning wanted to ask even more questions.
Xu Ning laughed and said, "You know I'm a businessman. When I see free goods, I usually can't help but think about the huge profits that might be hidden behind them. Call it paranoia if you will, but I haven't seen such a convenient tool in you or that forester lady!"
Tina was somewhat surprised by Xu Ning's insight, especially his statement about free goods.
Thinking back to my dealings with that wealthy businessman, the little guy kept using words like "free," "gift," and "discount," but in the end, it always ended with me paying more Mora. I couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in my heart again.
Shaking his head to put aside the painful memories, Tinari explained, "Actually, this was something I deliberately asked the rangers to do. The situation in the rainforest is changing every moment. Relying on the fixed experience patterns in the Void Terminal for a long time will make them inflexible in actual work, which will lead to danger. That's why I don't let them use the Void Terminal. I usually conduct training regularly and share new experiences with everyone."
"But for you who are entering Sumeru for the first time, that thing is an absolutely convenient tool. At least it can save you a lot of effort in finding your way, finding people, eating, and finding lodging."
Upon hearing that he could use the Void Terminal to find people, Kong was immediately intrigued. He put the prepared flower paste into a bowl and handed it to Xu Ning.
"I'd like to hurry up and visit the Little Lucky Grass God. I'd like to get one, no, two. I wonder if there are any alternate terminals for Paimon?"
Tinali laughed and said, "Many children in Sumeru City are using it too. However, the Void Terminal will automatically select the knowledge with different access levels to you based on your age and experience. In other words, you can't access all the information. You'll know when you use it."
"As for Lady Little Auspicious Grass Goddess, she should reside at the Pure Goodness Palace at the top of the big tree upon which Sumeru City is attached. You will see her at a glance when you arrive. However, whether you can successfully visit her depends on the Order of the Teachings."
Having received guidance from Tina, Kong finished his wine and, satisfied, placed the Dust Song Pot at the door and went inside to sleep.
Xu Ning also greeted Tinali, and placed the Dust Concealment Gourd at the door before going inside to rest.
Tina looked speechlessly at the two sets of equipment on either side that resembled two little gatekeepers, then at the only bed where Cole was sleeping, and sighed.
I had no choice but to stay at Amir's house.
The next day, after saying goodbye to Ke Lai, whose health had clearly improved, Xu Ning told her to take good care of herself and promised that he would come back to help her get rid of her old ailment after he went to Sumeru City to take care of some business.
Huacheng is not far from Xumi City. On a clear day, you can see the city, which looks like a big tree, from a high mountain peak.
However, the area between the two places is mostly canyons and mountains, and there is really no good way to travel in a straight line except by flying in the sky.
Xu Ning had no intention of being so ostentatious. As far as he knew, the people of Sumeru were not particularly interested in politics and power.
While Inazuma himself could flaunt his self-proclaimed title as Liyue Ambassador, in Sumeru, those arrogant scholars probably wouldn't care about such a title at all. He might be more respected if he returned to his old profession as a merchant.
The two took a long detour and followed the mountain path trodden by their predecessors to the gate of Sumeru City.
"Please wait a moment, you two, uh, you three! This must be your first time visiting Sumeru City."
Xu Ning looked at the soldiers blocking their way and asked curiously, "How did you know that with such certainty?"
The soldier laughed and said, "Because there is currently no information about you in the void."
"However, you need not worry. I am not preventing you from entering the city because of this. On the contrary, the Order will provide a convenient item for every traveler who comes to Sumeru City."
"This is the Void Terminal."
The soldier took a transparent crystal piece that looked like a leaf from a box behind him and handed it to Xu Ning.
Xu Ning casually took the crystal chip, rubbed it in his hand a couple of times, and then looked around at the merchants who were entering Sumeru.
I didn't see anyone wearing these crystal chips; instead, I could see tiny vines curled into leaf shapes near their ears.
Each time someone enters the gates of Sumeru City, the vines on their ears light up slightly, as if they have suddenly received a signal.
"You two may have already heard that the void is a legacy left by the Great Tree King, a treasure trove that can gather knowledge."
"Over the centuries, the Order of the Church has relentlessly researched the void, which is how the Void Terminal was developed. Now, as long as one is within the Sumeru Realm, as long as one wears and activates the Void Terminal, one can connect to the void and obtain the knowledge one desires from it."
Upon hearing that this little device had such powerful functions, Kong asked excitedly, "Isn't that a portable library, and one that can automatically help us find information? Are there any sizes that she can wear?"
Seeing Kong's excited expression, the soldier couldn't help but laugh. "Of course! After all, many children in Sumeru wear them and learn a lot of unknown knowledge through them. That's why it's called the cornerstone of the City of Wisdom!"
The soldier took out two crystal leaves, one large and one small, from the wooden box and handed them to Kong and Paimon. "You just need to hold them in your hands and silently say, 'May I hear the voice of divine wisdom,' and you can activate them."
Almost the instant the soldier uttered the command, Kong and Paimon involuntarily began to silently repeat it.
"May I hear the voice of divine wisdom!"
Xu Ning wanted to stop them, but before he could think of a reason to refuse, the two guys had already put them on.
Xu Ning clearly felt the crystal chips in the hands of the two men transform into an invisible energy that enveloped Kong and Paimon. Then, a tiny vine suddenly emerged from the tips of their hair and curled into a small leaf shape near their ears.
"Can it be taken off?" Xu Ning asked, holding up the crystal leaf in his hand.
The soldier nodded and said, "Of course, you can just take this vine off and it will turn back into leaves."
Xu Ning nodded, leaned closer to the soldier, and whispered, "I noticed that everyone who enters Sumeru seems to be wearing a void terminal. What happens if you don't wear one in Sumeru City? Will you be arrested? Or will you be considered special or strange?"
The soldier patted Xu Ning on the shoulder and smiled, "Don't worry, we won't arrest you for this, but it would indeed seem strange to leave such a useful tool unused!"
