Reincarnated as an Energy with a System
chapter-72

In less than a day, Ning was out of the forest. Following the old man named Kaezir Brouch and the young lady named Mikaela Brouch was not a mistake at all for Ning. Aside from his name and place of origin, the old man asked him nothing. So, Ning decided to not ask anything in return either.

As such the rest of the journey had been a silent, awkward one. From time to time, he would see men and women, both single and in the group, walking around the forest. However, no one seemed to want to talk with anyone.

Finally, only after leaving the forest did he see a city in front of him. "Welcome to Starsight City, my young friend," the old man said.

"Woah," Ning said looking at the massive walls. 'That reminds me of the walls back in the southern continent,' he thought.

"Do you guys get a lot of Monster invasions in this town?" Ning asked directly.

"We used to, but not anymore. Initially, this place was not populated at all, so the monsters ran rampant here. To counter that, the people living at the time built these massive walls here. However, over the course of time, the city got more and more populated, some of which were strong cultivators and they cleared the forest of any strong monster"

"Now, the most they can go without being noticed is 5th realm of Qi Condensation, which most of the disciples in the sect of this city are," the old man said.

"I see," Ning said.

The old man suddenly took out 2 pieces of circular metal and handed them to Ning. Ning looked at it and was surprised. "Coins?" he asked.

"Yes, they are silver coins. You will need 5 bronze coins to enter. You can keep the rest of it for yourself and settle wherever you can in this city. Now, I have some important tasks to complete, so I must bid you adieu my young friend," The old man said.

"Ah, okay. Thank you for saving my life and bringing me all the way to the city," Ning said.

"Take care young man. Amitabha." With that, both the old man and the young lady left the newbie Ning and entered the city in a hurry. He saw the old man not even being blocked by the guard while entering. In fact, he was bowed to by the other people around him.

"Was that man some sort of big figure in this city?" Ning wondered. Quickly, he ignored the thought and started focusing on what he had to do next. He was absolutely unsure of what to do in this Starsight city.

"Well, first of all, I should get in. I can think of other stuff later." Ning walked up to the long queue of people waiting to enter and waited for his turn to come.

As said by the old man, the guard only took 5 bronze coins before letting Ning enter. He needed to go through no other checkups. "They let just about anyone walk in here? What if a terrorist were to come in like that?" Ning wondered.

"Hmm… although, there might not be such a thing as a terrorist in this world. I should not forget that I'm not on earth anymore." He wanted to forget that, but then the houses in front of him would remind him of the period pieces he watched in the orphanage.

"Now that I'm in, what do I do now?" he wondered.

GRRRR

"Well, at least you know what to do," Ning said as he giggled. He asked around and quickly found himself a tavern where he could get some food.

The food here costs about 2 bronze coins per meal, so Ning ate it without worry. "I can create money for myself whenever I want," Ning thought and giggled himself.

"Although, it might be better to learn about this town," Ning thought. "System, give me knowledge on this town," he said.

<All Knowledge about town>

<Basic Starsight City information : 8,800,000 Energy>

<Beginner Starsight City information: 88,000,000 energy>

<Intermediate Starsight City information: 880,000,000 energy>

<Advanced Starsight City information: 8,800,000,000 energy>

<Omniscient Starsight City information: 88,000,000,000 energy>

"Hmm, that is more expensive than I was expecting it to be," Ning said. He contemplated for a while and finally came up with a decision. "I will have to stay in this city for the foreseeable future, so it might be a good idea to buy the Beginner version. Alright, system, buy the Beginner information," he said.

<Confirmed>

Suddenly, the entire beginner's knowledge of the city appeared in his mind. It gave more information than he was expecting it to, So he went over the new information.

"City lord huh? that's something like a mayor or a president, I assume."

"The number of people is also quite surprising. Seeing how small it looked, I assumed the numbers wouldn't be that high. Not to mention, Over 64% of them are cultivators."

"Oh, there are 3 sects around here, and multiple guilds huh? I will have to check them out when I have the time."

The last piece of information was something that really helped and depressed Ning at the same time. It was the geographical information about the city, and the land it was on. That, mixed with the intermediate Map he had, he was able to make enough correlation with the two and easily figured out where he was.

Turns out, he was still on the northern continent. It hadn't taken him more than a few minutes to put those two together.

only thing was, he was on the other side of the planet as well. During the 164 years, he had been in a coma, he had somehow managed to cross the entire globe.

While Klavis was on the side with no Central continent, Starsight was on the side with the Central continent.

Finally, he finished his food and walked out of the tavern. The city was huge, but it was nothing to a cultivator. He walked around the city doing nothing but buying a few small snacks here and there.

In the end, after seeing all the different houses and decorations of the city, he got bored. "Guess I should go see what these sects are like," he said.
