Reincarnated as an Energy with a System
chapter-209

Ning looked through his head and continued reading. The information there was just too much to sort out in just a few minutes.

Thankfully, due to them being bought from the system, all he had to do was refer to them.

'This book… is an entire book that does nothing but tell me what something is or something does. It's like a children's book for grown adults that help them visualize different kinds of stuff to use with Aether,' Ning thought.

'I see. So that is what it was. Aether isn't like Qi where just by training, you can get strong eventually. It's actually the power of imagination. As long as you can imagine it, Aether can help you do anything.'

Ning was absolutely thrilled to learn this. If visualization was all it was needed, he knew tons of things, remembered so much that it would be impossible for him to not visualize stuff very easily. He could tell that Aether was going to be a lot of help for him.

"Hmm… so falling down after your Aether disappears is not that uncommon huh? I guess people here are just used to it. Or maybe it's just not a well-known thing in this faraway land of nowhere," Ning thought and kept reading.

Learning that it was the power of imagination, he started wondering how far the powers of Aether could be pushed forth.

'When you burn away Aether, your body looks for the next thing to burn, which happens to be the important nerves around the Sea of Aether and started burning it too… Yikes. Do people slowly lose functi— Oh, here it is, the damaged nerves are healed when the Aether returns.'

'However, if one kept up with the damage, they will go on a coma. I knew this. Why did I spend energy to get the same information twice? Tsk,' Ning thought.

After an hour or so, Famir finally tapped him, relaying that he was ready to leave. Ning looked to his other side and saw that Jangar had been fast asleep with nothing else to do for him.

Once he woke up, he too walked out of the library.

"So the library is free to use?" Ning asked after walking outside.

"Yes! It's maintained by the Noble Canon," Famir said.

"You guys want to go check out anything? Or do we return for now?" Jangar asked.

"Hmm… let's go to some stores and see if there are some clothes to buy. I don't feel like walking around while looking like this," Ning said.

"Oh, I know a shop. This way," Famir said and started walking forward.

They soon reached a shop and started looking through clothes.

'System, give me information on the currency here,' Ning asked.

Soon, he had basic information of currency here. The lowest currency was bronze coins that were also called Sik, and 100 of those would join to be this alloy of silver and some other metal, also known as Rop.

'How much energy do rops cost?' he asked.

<it will cost you 5 Million energy per Rops>

'Wait a second? Didn't that cost me the same thing for gold coins back on Kumia too? I'm starting to sense a pattern here' Ning said.

<Yes, there is one>

<It costs you 5 Million energy per highest denomination of currency in that land>

'Wait, so if the highest denomination of money in this land was only siks with no rops, then would I have had to pay 5 million per sik?' Ning asked in surprise.

<Yes>

'Tsk. That's quite bad. How much do I have to pay now?' he asked.

<Siks are 1 Hundredth of a Rops value>

<So, you will have to pay 50 thousand energy per sik>

'Damn, that different just because there is a higher value currency above it huh?' Ning thought. 'No, wait a second. There were spirit stones above gold. Why didn't you count that?'

<System cannot make spirit stones due to being unable to create energy>

<So, it doesn't count Spirit stones as a currency, and chooses the next possible currency>

'So there really was a pattern to the prices huh? What about prices for the other things I make you create?' he asked.

<They have a price pattern as well>

< Non-organinc, Non-metallic creations cost 1 million energy per kilogram>

<Organic creations cost 2 million energy per kilogram>

<Metallic creations cost 4 million energy per kilogram>

<Objects will also cost more if their value is considered very high by the world>

'I see. Alright, make me… 20 Rops for now,' he asked. As the guys were looking through the shop, 20 rops appeared in front of Ning that he hid as quickly as it appeared.

"You guys have seen enough? Let's go pay and return back home," Ning said.

"Yes, senior," Famir said and took out a single pair of clothes from the place.

"Hey, that won't do. I thought I gave you ample time to choose. Why are you only taking one set of clothes?" he asked.

"Umm… I don't have a lot of money." Famir got a little embarrassed.

"Ahem. Carpentering doesn't earn very much in the village," Jangar said.

"Sigh, I will pay. Choose what you want," Ning said.

Famir and Jangar smiled, but they still only chose a few clothes. "Goddamn you guys, here take these and this one too. Do you like that? Take it."

Ning started dumping the clothes onto the guys more than they could handle. When they got to the front to pay for it, even the lady at the counter was in shock at the sheer volume of the clothes.

She started to calculate the costs of all those clothes, so it was going to take some time.

TRING

Two men with big bodies walked into the store and went right up to the counter.

"Be right there with you," the lady said without looking up.

"Hey!" one of the gruff men said. "We are not customers, lady. Look over here."

The lady looked up and saw the two men and fear showed in her eyes for a second. She did not like seeing these two here.
