Chapter 707 - Finally Lost Your Memory (1/2)

System Space, in the blacksmith’s forge.

A row of treasures and sapient tools pathetically waited in lines, rehearsing various battle arrays and receiving emergency training…

They came in all shapes and sizes.

There were birds, beasts, people, things… With their numbers, it was as if most of the sapient creatures in the world had gathered.

“Sigh, why is that mysterious existence so hateful?”

“Yeah, some brothers were just slightly slower, but were almost beaten to death. They’re all black and blue now. This really is hateful.”

“Sigh, before, we were the apple in our masters’ eyes. We were loved…”

“About that, the three of us weren’t. We’ve been in that dark storage artifact for hundreds of years. It’s excellent to be able to come out to see the light and get some fresh air.”

Among the blue and black treasures, only three were different and in good condition.

They were the green zither, the brown brush, and the ink landscape painting.

“Hmph, if you three hadn’t taken the initiative to bow and bend the knee, you wouldn’t have encouraged that mysterious existence’s arrogance and caused him to readily beat us up. We can’t even take a break…”

The brown brush took the lead in explaining, “My dear friend, there’s a saying in the books, ‘a wise man submits to circumstances’, and ‘a fine bird chooses the tree it nests in’. Since our bodies already belong to Cao, our hearts can’t remain with Han 1 . Only then will you be able to go far in life.”

As the brush spoke, a slightly invisible ripple streaked across the various sapient tools.

“That’s true.”

“A strict tutor raises a brilliant student. There’s a saying in the books, ‘Sweat more in peaceful times, bleed less in troubled times, and never shed tears after the battle’. Those beatings are all that sage’s ardent love. You were always well-fed and well-treated by your master, and have not undergone harsh training at all. You need this age to properly refine you.” The brown brush shook its head.

“Oh, that makes sense.” All the sapient tools were completely fooled.

“However, we’re going to the battlefield soon. What’s the use of suddenly rushing us?”

“My brother, of course there’s a use. As the saying goes, ‘it’ll help somehow even if you prepare at the last moment’. You naturally won’t be able to score full marks after a rushed job, but at least you’ll have a good chance of scoring a passing grade.” The brown brush continued to coax.

A group of sapient tools nodded one after the other. Their resentment had decreased quite a lot.

Fang Ning was very surprised as he looked on from the outside, and started to praise.

He asked the System, “What exactly did that brown brush do? He can fool others better than me.”

“Oh, that’s one of its Natural Trait Abilities, ‘Spring Autumn Writing Technique’ 2 . It’s specialized in fooling others. The zither, book, and painting all have a Natural Trait Ability. Daqing really was too wasteful.” Sir System lamented.

“I see. In that case, I’ll have to get closer to it.” Fang Ning nodded.

“Don’t even think about it. Don’t you dare approach any of these sapient tools.” Sir System quickly said.

“You’re so stingy. Are you afraid they’ll ‘choose their tree to nest in’?” Fang Ning said disdainfully.

“Who cares about you? I’m rehearsing now, and I’m about to go on a killing spree later. You just do whatever you want…” Sir System chased Fang Ning away from its blacksmith’s forge.

“Fine, I’ll leave. Wait, my, my head hurts…” Fang Ning clutched his head and collapsed on the limestone board of the System Space.

“What? Mr. Rich Host, what’s wrong with you?” Sir System asked, concerned.

After a while, Fang Ning stood up. He looked around in a daze with unfocused eyes.

“Where is this? Who am I? Were you calling me?” He said timidly, like a child who had just graduated from kindergarten 20 years ago…

“Oh f*ck, did you really lose your memories?” Sir System seemed to be extremely confused. It muttered, “That’s impossible. I’m God in the System Space. How can the Heavenly Axiom outside do anything here? Did it sneak a law on one of these treasures, and you were affected by it?”

“I don’t understand. Can you speak more clearly?” Fang Ning was still ignorant.

“Wait, let me check your mental state.” Sir System said seriously.

Then, a System Notification appeared.

[The System began to inspect the Host’s mental state.]
