章 4: World Treasure
Riya felt her heart pounding.
She knew how much world treasure worth in that world. It was even more so in this world where resources were scarce and the mana was very thin that it was almost impossible to practice.
After a few breaths, Riya finally calm down.
The world treasure was precious but it was not easy to cultivate. In order for the world treasure to fully showcase their capabilities, a lot of resources were needed to open it and then nurture it. In such situation, she might need to exert even more efforts in order to make sure the world treasure can be used.
Riya checked the time and found that it was time for lunch.
Packing the rocks into her pocket, Riya made her way into the inn to eat lunch and then go back to her room to inspect the world. If she suddenly disappeared when she was outside, it would be hard for her to explain to others.
The currently safest location was the bedroom because she knew that there was nothing that watched her.
Riya looked at the pebbles around her and slowly arranged advance Mana Gathering Formation. After that she took a paper and used water and mana to create a talisman to gather the mana into her body.
Making a talisman like this wouldn't be perfect, but it was enough for the time being.
This method was usually forbidden because it would destroy their foundation and hurt their body.
But Riya wanted to feed the mana into the world treasure.
With her current magic that hadn't even started, she might need a few months to open that world. Even though Riya was usually a patient person, she still didn't want to wait that long.
Sitting down on the bed, Riya pasted the talisman to her head and began to gather the mana around her into that world. As if sensing her thoughts, the world also began to actively absorb the surroundings mana greedily.
Without Riya needing to feed it, the treasure was busy eating the mana around Riya.
'The mana is getting thinner.'
Riya felt helpless.
Even with the advance Mana Gathering Formation she set up on her bed with the rocks, it could barely sustain the mana needed for the world to be activated. If she had her previous magic, she would have been able to help the world better.
But at this time, she could only wait.
Riya sighed and began to continue her practice, gathering wisp of mana into her heart and run it through her body.
At the same time, the world was busy feeding on the mana around her, greedily absorbing it on its own.
With her current strength, Riya couldn't control it.
Anyway, it was bound to her soul. No one would be able to get it unless they have the method to extract it from her soul.
The world treasure also wouldn't usually betray their master, so Riya was relatively calm.
Time passed quietly.
When it was night time, Riya sensed that she could finally enter the world and used her thoughts to enter.
Tep!
She landed on an empty land. Looking all around her, she could only see dark starry night and the faraway stars. Below her was a relatively transparent small land that was barely 10 meter x 10 meters wide.
And the world was still sucking the mana greedily, wanting to grow.
Riya looked at the faint mana around her and sighed deeply. No wonder that there were a lot of people who wanted to get this treasure. Just the fact that it could absorb the mana and created a world on its own was worth it for people to rush over and aim for it.
By now, Riya no longer felt regret for trading her life for it.
"I can control everything in this world, right?"
Riya's eyes flashed and the scenery below her changed rapidly. Half of the world turned into grassland while the other half's floor changed into rock platform and there was a faint invisible wall that separated the two of them.
With her thoughts, Riya froze the time on the rock platform and let time continued to flow on the other side.
She thought of making buildings, but this world could only grow ordinary plants. If she truly wanted to, she would have to build it herself.
"Can I just bring an entire building inside?"
But thinking of the money she had, Riya sighed deeply. That would be quite impossible because she was not so rich to buy so many buildings.
She only has a few millions NA (National Accepted) money.
Part of it was from her parents who wanted to sever their relationship with her a few years ago.
Yes, both parents.
Riya's full name is Riya Elizabeth Taylor, but her father divorced her mother because he had a mistress and children outside and after the divorce, her mother also had a lover on her own.
As for her?
She's the oil bottle and burden for both sides. Ever since she was young, she had been thrown to various relatives' house one by one and barely able to grow up. Neither parents wanted her custody and once she reached 18 years old, they had the chance to kick her out because of the law.
They sent money and severed relationship so that she would not bother them anymore.
The rest of the money came from her work that she did on her third year in the university where she managed to sell a program she made for her project. It earned her a few millions, which she could use for many things.
So she was able to live quite well.
She was originally living a peaceful four years after she reached 18 years old.
But her so called stepmother just have to come here and disturb her for the sake of the so called step sister.
Riya took a deep breath, controlling her emotion and tried her best not to think about those annoying people.
Looking at the situation in this small world, Riya decided to create a farm on one side and planted some herbs that would be useful. The other half would be used for her to keep useful items so that she would be able to live here.
Aside from her best friend, she didn't really have anyone to contact anyway.
Even if she spent days inside this world after she had graduated, no one would come to look for her.
Riya felt that it was feasible.
Anyway, practicing in this world would be more convenient rather than practicing outside because there were people around.
Not to mention, high ranking magician lived far longer than ordinary humans. She might not be attracting much attention in the beginning, but if she still looked like teenager when she was 50 years old…
She was sure that the country will send someone to take her to the laboratory.
Riya shivered when she thought about it.
In that case, she had to be prepared to have a place on her own!
"Then, it's decided!"
