371: Chapter 371 Busy

After getting a fair distance away from the other-dimensional node, Nie Ning raised his hand, and the god-forbidden ring on his wrist flew out.

As he injected magic power into it, the god-forbidden ring expanded to a meter in size, revealing a scene in the center different from what was in front of him.

Nie Ning carried Xiaoguang through the god-forbidden ring, and his entire figure vanished, reappearing in another unfamiliar place.

Looking at his surroundings, Nie Ning nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad. A single teleportation covers five kilometers; that's just about enough."

The only downside was that it consumed quite a bit of magic power; five kilometers cost him about one-tenth of his total magic.

Furthermore, the god-forbidden ring could teleport further than that; it mainly depended on his own strength, though the further the distance, the more magic power it consumed.

But for the purpose of escaping, it was already sufficient.

As long as the opponent hadn't prepared in advance by reinforcing the surrounding space, spatial teleportation was enough to escape most dire situations.

Thinking back to earlier, Nie Ning felt a bit unlucky.

He had been ganged up on by a group of people right from the start, and it was even worse after the seventh-order creature emerged; the space was affected by its aura, causing the upgraded god-forbidden ring to become completely useless.

… One week later. Blood Rainbow City.

After spending so much time, he had finally returned to a familiar place.

Looking at the city before him, Nie Ning couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

It shouldn't have taken this long.

After leaving the ruins, the more he thought about it, the angrier he got, so he turned back and, taking advantage of the time Amivika was calling for reinforcements, blocked the entrance for two days.

And now, he was even angrier…

People did indeed run out from inside during those two days, but he hadn't managed to intercept a single one.

It was simply because that group was too cowardly.

The moment they saw someone blocking the door, they immediately burned their own energy source, sacrificing their energy storage capacity cap, and ran away without looking back.

If Fourth-Order Wizards did it, that would be one thing, but damn it, the fifth-order ones did the same, which left Nie Ning dumbfounded.

He had blocked the door for two days and hadn't managed to catch a single person.

However, there were three unlucky souls he forced back into the ruins; otherwise, Nie Ning felt he would have wanted to slap himself twice every time he thought about it while trying to sleep at night.

Nie Ning turned his head and found Korda staring blankly at the street in front of him, his eyes shimmering with a different kind of luster.

This place was, after all, different from the Dark Swamp; for a Transcendent, it might not be much of a change, but for an ordinary person, it was like another world.

Nie Ning patted Korda on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Perhaps in the future, you too can change the world with your own power."

Based on his interactions during this period, Korda had many very interesting ideas and a desire to create things that would make the world marvel.

Hearing this, Korda was stunned for a moment, but then he lowered his head.

He was just a half-dead ordinary person; how could he possibly have the ability to reshape this world filled with Transcendents?

"How would you know it's impossible if you don't try? Everyone should have their own dreams, and moving toward one's dreams is never wrong."

Seeing through Korda's thoughts, Nie Ning comforted him softly.

For such a genius, appropriate encouragement was always more effective than discouragement.

Although his own motives weren't entirely pure, at least he wouldn't go to great lengths to exploit others.

Korda didn't speak, just nodded thoughtfully.

… Nie Ning brought Korda back to the villa.

Although he was already very tired, for the sake of Korda's life, Nie Ning didn't rest. Instead, after settling Korda in, he began looking for a Wizard proficient in biological modification.

Fortunately, although Nie Ning didn't have many connections in Blood Rainbow City, the Clothing Store had accumulated many clients.

Most of them were female Transcendents.

And because the Clothing Store frequently released new products, these people who wished to stay at the forefront of the times would leave their contact information so that the shop assistants could reach them later.

According to what he learned from the Alchemist and shop assistants in the store, he indeed found a few individuals who were either masters of biology themselves or were associated with such masters.

After being busy for an entire day, Nie Ning couldn't help but miss the days when Saya was around.

Although there were many people who could take her place, for matters involving personal privacy, it was indeed more convenient to have a trusted confidant.

… Over the next few days, Nie Ning visited several masters of biological modification in the city.

As a Fourth-Order Wizard, Nie Ning still carried some weight in the city.

Coupled with the female clients whispering in ears after receiving new clothing items, and supported by high remuneration, two Fourth-Order Wizards agreed to perform the relevant surgery for Korda.

However, because Korda had been modified for too long, the two Fourth-Order Wizards did not have full confidence in a complete cure.

Nie Ning didn't have a better solution for this; it was just a case of trying anything, as it was better than doing it himself.

After all, he was just a half-baked wizard, and to completely solve Korda's problems, he could only seek the help of professionals.

Nie Ning asked for Korda's opinion.

Perhaps due to the long-term imprisonment, Korda appeared very indifferent and quickly agreed to undergo the surgery.

Since that was the case, Nie Ning did not delay any further and invited the two Fourth-Order Wizards to begin the surgery for Korda.

The surgery lasted a total of six days, during which various troubles arose, making Nie Ning's scalp tingle with frustration.

Fortunately, the power of money was indeed formidable; with the support of various rare medicinal materials, Korda was finally able to survive unscathed.

However, that was all.

The surgery removed the exotic beast genes, turning Korda back into an ordinary person, and even his lifespan was affected; at most, he could only live for another ten years without pain.

Although it was much better than before, this was not the result Nie Ning wanted.

Geniuses are hard to find; it was too much of a pity to give up easily.

… The next day. Nie Ning stood with Xiaoguang in front of the gate of a luxurious castle.

The entire estate was built on a hilltop, surrounded by lush greenery, with a stream winding down along the mountain, and various rare exotic beasts frolicking in the woods.

Nie Ning opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

At this moment, they were not in Blood Rainbow City, but at a location not far from Blood Rainbow City.

Blood Rainbow City was huge, so large that he hadn't known such a place even existed nearby.

"Wizard Bronk."

Just then, a slightly youthful male voice rang out.

Nie Ning looked toward the sound and saw a young man who looked to be in his early twenties.

The young man had curly black hair, wore a white robe, and his clean face had a rather aristocratic air.

Qian Ning, the person who had helped him improve the imprinted Runic Formula back in the Transcendent World.

Nie Ning smiled slightly, "Long time no see."

A while ago, he had been following Belen to learn about Artificial Spirit creation, and then he had gone to the Dark Swamp area; come to think of it, they hadn't seen each other for several months.
