Chapter 102 - 102 The Plan and Goal

102 The Plan and Goal

Ning Shi had doubts in his heart after hearing Ilya say this.

Ilya’s spiritual power was as high as 55 points, and her perception was over-the-top. How could she not know that the World of Moen would be connected to the Saturn World in more than a month?

Logically speaking, if a world passage appeared in the Mieln Federation, the same passage should have appeared in the World of Moen.

Was it due to Ilya’s negligence that she didn’t discover it, or was the New World discovered by the Mieln Federation not the Moen Federation at all?

Or was it the world’s consciousness that was intentionally interfering with Ilya’s perception?

Ning Shi was a little uncertain.

Ilya’s words made Ning Shi understand the reason…

“I’ve been in this world for more than 1100 years. At first, I thought it was very novel, but in less than 20 years, I felt bored. This is a world with nothing new.

“After that, I was sleeping.

“I woke up a few times in the middle and tried to find a chance to leave this place, but I failed in the end.

“In my boredom, I could only continue to sleep to increase my strength.”

She was probably sleeping and didn’t pay attention to the changes in the world.

To be able to become stronger just by sleeping, the talent of dragons was enviable.

After some consideration, Ning Shi was still prepared to sign a companion contract with Ilya.

It wasn’t because he was lustful, but mainly because he valued Ilya’s powerful combat ability.

Ever since he found out about the owner of the origin treasure, Ning Shi still had a sense of crisis in his heart. Who knew when the owner of the origin treasure from other worlds would kill his way to the Saturn World and snatch Ning Shi’s origin treasure?

After signing the contract, he would have a powerful bodyguard and his sense of security would increase greatly.

The most important thing was that even if he didn’t bring Ilya out, after more than a month, the world passage would be connected, and Ilya could still enter the Saturn World.

With Ilya’s strength, she might cause a big problem if she didn’t have anyone to guide her after entering the Saturn World.

Now, using the companion contract to bind and guide her was more beneficial to Saturn.

“Ilya, I can sign a contract with you, but I need you to promise me that you won’t do anything stupid in my world.”

Upon hearing Ning Shi’s words, Ilya was extremely excited. She felt the prosperous atmosphere of Saturn in Ning Shi’s soul.

She was a curious dragon who liked to explore the world.

Being trapped in the World of Moen was like being in prison. Now that she could get out, she was especially happy.

“No problem, Your Excellency Ning Shi. I can add a freedom clause in the contract. After arriving at Saturn, I absolutely won’t harm the creatures there.

“I’ll also give you an additional discount of one year of free service.

“For a year, you can order me to do anything, provided that it doesn’t go against my bottom line.”

A year might be the concept of a day for a Taikoo Red Dragon that had a lifespan of 10000 years.

“No problem!”

Ning Shi nodded in agreement.

Ilya walked to Ning Shi, took his hand, and pressed it on her soft and full chest. Her left hand was on Ning Shi’s shoulder, and she read aloud.

“Under the witness of the great ancestral dragon, Hiccup, and the supreme free will, I, Ilya Pixie Zloyutro… August is willing to sign a Taikoo dragon companion contract with Ning Shi. The content is as follows…”

Ilya mumbled a bunch of words and a purple light shone from her body, turning into a ray of light that connected her and Ning Shi.

A notification came from the game system.

[ Taikoo Red Dragon Ilya August invites you to sign a companion contract. Do you agree? Yes, no. ]

[ After signing this contract, all attacks you deal to Ilya will be forcefully transferred to you. You can summon Ilya to battle, but you also must participate in the battle when she summons you. ]

After receiving the system prompt, Ning Shi felt more at ease. He clicked yes.

The purple light connecting the two of them was instantly cut off, turning into two balls of light and entering the bodies of the two.

Ning Shi felt a new message in his mind. If he followed this message, he could activate the summoning technique and summon Ilya to fight.

After signing the contract, Ilya’s attitude towards Ning Shi became extremely close, and she said jokingly.

“Ning Shi, are my boobs comfortable to touch? The contract has been completed, and you still don’t want to let go.”

Ilya’s words were straightforward and bold, and Ning Shi immediately retracted his hand. It felt amazing.

“Ning Shi, what’s your travel plan this time? Tell me and I’ll help you complete it. This way, you can return to your original world faster and summon me over.”

Since they had signed the contract, Ning Shi was not so guarded against Ilya.

He explained the situation of the Duohuang and Brad Empires to Ilya.

“You know that I have a treasure. This treasure has a magical power that can force some people to contract as my servants. The success rate of the contract depends on the spiritual energy of the other party and me.

“I came out this time to use this ability to expand my influence.”

Upon hearing this, Ilya opened her palm, and a crystal-clear fruit appeared in her hand.

The fruit looked like an apple, and it was emitting a faint silver-white light. Countless tadpole-like creatures were swimming inside the fruit, making it look very mysterious.

“I’m from the Sky Dragon World. This is a fruit unique to our world, the ethereal fruit. After eating it, it will strengthen your spiritual power, and the strengthening effect varies from person to person.

“This fruit will only be effective the first time it’s consumed. To me, it’s only an ingredient for making wine.

“This ethereal fruit is for you, just eat it.”

Ning Shi’s current spiritual power was only 27 points. Compared to his physique, it was indeed too low.

So, he didn’t stand on ceremony. After remembering the favor from Ilya, he directly took the fruit and ate it.

[ Consumed Sky Dragon World’s specialty: Ethereal fruit. Spiritual energy is randomly increasing… Spirit +3 ]

Ning Shi instantly felt that his soul had been sublimated, as if it was constantly flying up until it flew to a critical point.

With a leap, his soul broke free from the restraints of his physical body, and the world turned gray in an instant.

The soul, without its support, was like a wisp in the wind, a small boat in the waves.

It was too terrifying. Ning Shi’s thoughts flashed, and his soul instantly retracted back into his body.

Ilya seemed to have sensed something, and she said gently,

“Ning Shi, your spiritual power grew too fast, and your soul showed a rare phenomenon of rising. This is a normal reaction, so don’t worry.”

After stabilizing his mind, Ning Shi felt that his five senses were more powerful, and his control of his body was more precise. His thinking and memory speed were also faster.

“Thank you, Ilya. The ethereal fruit came just in time for me.”

“You’re welcome. Combat partners should help each other.” Ilya smiled and poured out the last of the wine in the bottle, finishing it in one gulp. Then she said, “Let’s go. Now that you have enough spiritual energy, I’ll bring you around and subdue those servants.”

To leave the World of Moen, Ilya had learned some spatial magic over the years. With her around, Ning Shi’s speed of advancement was like teleportation.

In the blink of an eye, Ning Shi appeared in the residence of the Marquis of Eagle Mountain.

Under Ilya’s casual suppression, the Marquis of Eagle Mountain could not move at all. He was forced to become Ning Shi’s servant.

With the help of the Marquis, Ning Shi also contracted a dozen key figures in the Marquis’ territory.

He had completely taken control of Marquis of Eagle Mountain’s territory.

In the same way, Ning Shi had signed contracts with more than 2000 servants in one night, secretly controlling more than half of the Brad Empire.

Ilya was not impatient at all. She continued to follow Ning Shi and help him contract servants.

She suggested, “Ning Shi, your contract ability is very abnormal. In that case, why don’t we directly find the royal family of the human empire?”

“If you contract all of them, won’t you be able to unify the entire Moen Continent?”

Hearing this suggestion, Ning Shi suddenly smacked his head. He had been misled by his habitual thinking.

The previous plan was to slowly expand his power because Ning Shi was not confident that he could confront the three empires’ full forces and the super magical beasts and gods behind them.

Now that he had Ilya’s help, subduing these royal family members was a piece of cake.

But on second thought, it didn’t seem right.

Ning Shi analyzed, “There are two problems now. One is that my spiritual power is not high enough. Many key figures, such as the Mountain Cluster Palace Master, Joseba, have spiritual power that is estimated to reach 40 points. I can’t contract them.

“Secondly, I’ve observed the way you subdue your opponents, it’s mental suppression. Under the suppression of the world’s will, your attacks seem to be limited.”

Ilya nodded, not hiding anything.

“As a visitor from another world, if I attack recklessly, it will lead to unpredictable tragic consequences. Otherwise, I don’t mind helping you wipe out the super magical beasts and gods, but this is not allowed by the will of the world.

“If that’s the case, I suggest that you focus on increasing your spiritual power. Once you have enough spiritual power, I will help you contract the higher-ups of the humans and control the Moen Continent.

“As for the Elven Empire, it’s backed by the remaining gods, and the relationship between the gods and their believers is extremely special, especially those in special positions such as the Elven King and the Grand Elder. They’re closely watched by the gods, and the chances of you being discovered by the gods if you sign a contract with them are extremely high.

“But you don’t have to worry. After the Battle of the Gods a thousand years ago, many gods fell, and the world’s will has recovered most of its power.

“Furthermore, humans have abandoned their gods, and the power of faith is also decreasing. The remaining gods are destined to perish, but we have to prevent them from taking desperate actions.”

Ning Shi thought for a moment and said, “Next, let’s go to the Elven Empire to contract servants. We won’t touch people like the Elven King. It shouldn’t be a problem to contract some middle and upper-class people.”

Ilya nodded.

In the next two days, the man and dragon didn’t rest and filled up Ning Shi’s extra 5000 servant slots.

He had also gained control of nine cities in the Elven Empire to the south of Duohuang, as well as the demonic ape dukedom of the Ole Empire to the west of Duohuang.

The demonic ape Duke had a strong body, but his spiritual power was not high. Ning Shi successfully enslaved him.

Now, the area of power controlled by Ning Shi was no less than any of the previous empires. Under this trend, it could be said that the territory he ruled had already surpassed the three great empires.

Now that his servant quota was full, there were four things he had to do in the game.

One was to level up his cultivation and improve his spiritual power. Ning Shi estimated that when his spiritual power reached 35 points, he would be able to contract with Joseba. After contracting Joseba, killing Sean and obtaining the soul ring would be a matter of course.

The second was to find a hero, gain two more followers, and complete the main quest.

The third was to expand the production scale of magic core weapons and improve the combat ability of the army, in preparation for the battle against super magical beasts and gods.

The last point was to find the specific location of the world passage between the World of Moen and the Mieln Federation. If the people from the Mieln Federation came, Ning Shi wanted to give them a surprise.

“Ilya, I’ll return to Duohuang first, and then return to my world. Just wait in the palace for my summoning!”
