My Adventure Diary of Reincarnating as a Bad Woman

The power of the path connected to the distant place. Beings from other worlds were attracted by the hysteresis crystal cluster and glanced towards this place. It seemed as if time slowed down. Adele's thoughts were extremely slow. It took a minute for her mind to turn around.

It was as if the passage of time was being stripped away from her. Adele only felt her vision flash before the ceremony came to an end.

A feeling of fullness fills every part of my body, my mind is clearer than ever before, and there is a power lingering in my heart. I can call it out with just a thought and destroy everything in front of me.

Noita stood in front of Adele and looked at her with satisfaction.

She said, "Adele, you're already a professional."

"Really?" Adele felt the changes in herself, but apart from the added ability to cast spells, it seemed that not much had changed. She could feel that some kind of existence was connecting with her from a distant world beyond human reach, and that was one of the sources of her power.

Adele shared her feelings with Noita, who explained, "That's the Patron. Some also call them the Sovereign or the Lord. Contractors forge contracts with powerful beings, imitating them and learning from them. The Silent Spirit is a cold being. It cares not for the outside world or its contractors. It operates solely within the reflection of the world, observing the world through the eyes of the contractor."

Adele instinctively felt that Noita's statement was wrong. She felt that the Silent Spirit was very attentive to the outside world, and it seemed that this creature was not an individual. In just a moment, she discovered that the things she saw through her eyes had changed by dozens of different ways.

They had no complex thoughts, only simple emotional changes. Adele felt a sense of wonder and gratitude from the other side.

These guys don’t seem to be very intelligent?

Chapter 48 Believe in yourself as you believe in me

Your followers set out on the path, forging a pact with the still object, a reflection of the world. The still object begins to move for the first time.

Stalled Spirit: From ancient times to the present, countless madmen have dared to challenge the authority of the gods. Those who fail become detritus, flowing with the tide into the reflection of the world. They settle and dissolve, forming something strange with the sedimentation of other things. Because it is a sedimentation of detritus, it is like stagnant water in a pond, unable to move. The appearance of the Contract Sorcerer has given the stalled things a channel to turn back, and the wheel has begun to move again.

It covets your possibilities and invites you to become a tributary of the wheel.

[Agree to receive a free Contractor Level (extra level). Do you agree?]

The log shows an introduction to Adele's patron, who has extended an invitation.

A free extra level for the Contractor.

Noita looked at the message in the log with a puzzled expression.

The so-called extra level is not counted into the character's professional level, but is counted into the total level. It will provide players with additional professions and abilities, which is equivalent to having an extra level that does not occupy a level position out of thin air.

In the game, extra levels are usually limited-time buffs that can only be obtained through God-descending type plots, allowing players to experience the joy of high levels at a low level, and they will be confiscated after the plot ends.

This level seems to be permanent at the moment.

However, all gifts from fate come with a hidden price tag.

Noita wanted to know the price of signing a contract with the Stagnant Spirit. If the benefits outweigh the costs, it is not something that cannot be considered.

The log gives a clear answer.

Possibility is one of the foundations of psychic energy. This contract means you will use your own potential to support the stagnant spirit. Your psychic energy reserves and recovery speed will be reduced, and classes belonging to the Mirror Heaven Path will receive a 30% experience penalty.

A 30% experience penalty is too harsh.

Noita refused the contract without a second thought.

[The Stagnant Spirit has known your refusal, and it always reserves a tributary for you.]

Noita knew in her heart that she was being noticed.

But the Stagnant Spirit's performance didn't match its previous life. Players who had signed contracts with the Stagnant Spirit in the past often complained on forums about the leader being too aloof, never giving them quests, and thus earning them no extra experience. They envied the contracted sorcerers who had signed contracts with the fairies, who experienced a different death every day.

But it's unlikely that they'll change their leader, because the class abilities granted by the Stagnant Spirit are simply too good to be true, with both strength and special effects. Slower upgrades are perfectly acceptable.

It is precisely because the Stagnant Spirit is aloof and powerful, and Adele had signed a contract with it in her previous life, that Noita recommended Adele to become a contract magician.

Worried that there might be problems with Adele, Noita checked Adele's upgraded data.

Adele Muse

[Occupation: Level 1 Contract Sorcerer (Spirit of Stagnation)]

[Skills: Spellcasting, Stasis Trap]

[Spells: Blade Protection, Magic Explosion, Charm Human, Psychedelic Manuscript]

[Props: None.]

[Skill: Stasis Trap: Consume the power of the Path to create an invisible trap of any shape with a radius of no more than five feet. The time of the one who triggers the trap will be slowed down.]

This human body belongs to you, beloved by the spirits that have stopped rotating. She is the first mover of things that have stopped rotating, the original favorite, and enjoys the destiny of the wheel. On the day when the wheel revives, she will be the oracle singer!

Noita looked at Adele's data and confirmed that everything was normal with her. It seemed that because she was the first to awaken the Stagnant Spirit, she had a special status and was treated differently.

I'm glad nothing happened.

The resurrection of the Stagnant Spirit sounds like a big quest, with its ultimate goal being the position of the Godhead, as the logs indicate that when it resurrects, Adele will be the Oracle Singer.

However, I didn't hear any news about it in the previous life. I don't know whether it took too long to prepare and died in the womb, or it was carried out in secret and did not alarm the players.

Neuta thought about this and left the basement with Adele.

In the warm light, Noita saw that Adele was still in a daze, so she asked her if she was feeling unwell.

"No, everything is fine. I just heard its voice, but I couldn't understand what it meant." Adele said uncertainly, "It seemed to want you."

It refers to her patron.

"I know." Noita comforted Adele, "I have already rejected its invitation. Let's talk about you."

"I?"

Noita coaxed him gently: "Yes, how do you feel? You have grasped a corner of power. How does it feel to be a professional?"

"If I had to say, I'd say it's unsettling. I didn't practice the path described in the books, nor did I pay a heavy price. I just worked hard for a week, and I gained power. It was too easy, like a dream."

"So this is what's bothering you? Then let me tell you, you've already paid the price."

Adele was puzzled: "I haven't lost anything?"

"No, Adele, you've lost yourself and your future. You were my follower, offering me your loyalty." Noita spoke as if she were telling a story. "If there were another Gaia world, where I didn't exist, you would become a professional even faster, becoming the master of Serkar with an invincible attitude. Everything would prostrate at your feet, and Serkar would stop at nothing to seize the magnificent jewels for you. Now, you no longer have the possibility of such a future."

Adele was confused for a while, and it took a long time before she said "Oh".

"I can't imagine that kind of future, and I also don't know how to become a professional any faster than I am now. But I think if Noita hadn't come, everything would be completely different. But you came, Noita, and you helped me. I don't have to worry about how to deal with someone coming to my house to blackmail me tomorrow. I can regain a peaceful life and have someone to follow. But... I still don't understand why you said this? It's completely nonsense."

"Then why do you feel uneasy? Is it because I'm not here? Or is a week of preparation not enough? Don't forget, even if you become a professional, you still have to help me manage the Pious Union and take care of the trivialities of life. This is the price!"

Noita tapped Adele on the forehead with her finger.

Adele suddenly realized: "It turns out to be a contract to sell one's body."

"That's it."

"That's all I can do." Adele stretched out in her chair and said with a smile, "Then, boss, can you cash my salary?"

Noita frowned: "Do I still pay my salary?"

Seeing Noita's cute look in retrospect, Adele laughed out loud: "That's what you said. I'll set up the organization, and you'll use that skill of manipulating emotions to make me feel satisfied."

"I remembered."

Noita remembered the promise and was about to use her skills when she suddenly smiled and asked Adele to close her eyes.

Adele followed suit, and in the darkness, she suddenly fell into a warm embrace, with a familiar body temperature and an intoxicating fragrance.

In the warm embrace, Adele hugged the other person tightly. She lay down on the bench, slightly bent over, curled up like a child.

Noita, mother.

A sense of security that made people completely relax made Adele relax her arms. She only held one of the other person's hands and fell asleep.

That will be a wonderful dream.

In the light, Noita was sitting on the ground, her right hand that was not being hugged was curling Adele's hair boredly.

She just had a sudden idea and wanted to try to combine hormones with real scenes in her technical knowledge. The test showed that the effect was very good.

There was just one problem, her hands were held tightly and she couldn't pull away.

She seemed to be sitting on the cold ground all night.

It's a little uncomfortable.

ps: Ah, the transition is so difficult to write

Chapter 49: The Coming Plunder

Noita walked across the morning streets and knocked on the door of the Life Society.

An elderly woman opened the door and was surprised that a church member had arrived so early, just after curfew.

The old woman opened the door and was stunned to see the unfamiliar woman. Her eyes, which had been slack and cloudy from getting up early, suddenly brightened up. She asked gently, "Who are you, young lady? Did you knock on the wrong door? I don't have the relative you're looking for here."

Many mountain dwellers and foreigners have been drawn to Serkar by the siphon effect. Once established, many are joined by people from their homeland. Some attractive young men and women, under the pretext of looking for relatives, knock on the doors of single residents, robbing them or selling their bodies.

The old woman's answer had two meanings: it meant that she had come to the wrong place, and it also meant that no one here needed service.

Noita was unmoved. She stood outside the house and said, "I'm an old acquaintance of your leader. Go and tell him that Adele is here and wants to buy his magic."

"Hold on."

The old woman closed the door and went to tell the leader.

Soon, the door opened and the polite leader invited Noita into the room.

"Friends, we meet again."

They sat across from each other in the side hall, and the leader asked directly, "What kind of spell do you want?"

"I wonder how many gold coins it will cost for the long-lasting soundproofing technique you installed underground."

"Five thousand gold coins," the leader advised gently. "Don't get excited, my friend. This is a complex formation technique, offering concealment, soundproofing, and anti-theft benefits. It's enough to protect your home. Once it's properly deployed, even if you hollow out the ground, your neighbors won't notice a single thing."

He really looks like a cunning traveling merchant!

"Two thousand gold coins."

Noita bargained expressionlessly, cutting the price in half.

"Knowledge is priceless, four thousand six."

……

The price of the skill fluctuated through constant bargaining, and finally settled at a price acceptable to both parties, 2,900 gold coins.

The leader is willing to accept Noita's payment method of spell books instead of gold coins.

But when he got the brand new spell book, his smile became subtle.

He flipped through the spellbook and concluded, "This is from last week."

Despite this, the leader still accepted the spell book. The fierce verbal battle wasted half an hour of their time, and it was already time for the leader's breakfast.

He invited Noita to have breakfast with him, but was declined.

Because his breakfast was too dry, with only cold bread and morning tea, without any meat or eggs, and Noita was worried that he would not be able to help but pick up the plate and smash it on the leader's head halfway through the meal - the leader's murderous intention was still so obvious.

This time, Noita understood that the leader's murderous intention was not only directed at her, but also at the entire world under the light.

He wants to destroy all life equally.

After hurriedly leaving the community controlled by the Life Society, Noita thought of going to the headquarters of the Pious Union.

She turned left and right according to the description in the diary and her memory, and finally arrived at a warehouse that was still under renovation.

It is located in the south of Community No. 7. It was originally a place where merchants stored their goods. However, the merchants later went bankrupt, and the warehouse was returned to the creditors along with other properties in a complicated property rights dispute. It seems to have been forgotten and has never been used. It has been desolate to this day.

Some time ago, Adele found the owner and bought it for 540 gold coins. It's said that the owner was surprised to find a warehouse when he first saw it, and only after he found the deed did he realize he had found the right person.

She looked out into the distance and saw a deserted warehouse. The outer wall of the warehouse was still under renovation, half mottled and half gray. It was deserted inside. The renovation workers had not yet started work, so Curry only left three people to look after the house.

Adele and her friends went to the community and were busy driving away the thugs and blackmailers who had wandered there and maintaining community order.

A total of seventeen people lived in the two houses surrounding the warehouse, all of them ordinary families.

Noita walked around the warehouse, resting his fingertips on the wall to explore the structure of the underground part.

She was very satisfied with the result. There was solid ground under the warehouse and it was far away from the sewer main, so she could dig out a training ground while ensuring safety.

She walked through the warehouse without attracting anyone's attention.

As the sun grew warmer, Noita walked out of the city.

There is still an imperceptible element of restlessness in the air. The closer to the city edge one gets, the thicker the atmosphere becomes. However, the concentration of the restlessness factor has not changed in the past few days and has been fluctuating around a stable value.

The stable atmosphere made Noita think about attacking the nest again.
