"Chip, can you scan this book and its contents?"
『N𝑒𝑔𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒.』the chip replied in its usual female robotic sound.
"What a waste." She remarked and dropped it in the bedside drawer. She turned to look at the other ones.
After opening them, she realized that she couldn't understand anything.
"Aish.... Another waste. I wish I had drawn sothing that would be useful for for the next run." Closing her eyes, she leaned against the head board.
Suddenly Percival's voice rang in her ear. "Soul Language."
"Seems like I need to learn the Soul language." She decided to dress up and go out.
After taking a quick shower and dressing up she put on the space pouch she had made with a shelf life of only one week.
With the upgrade of her physique and constitution as well as her gifts, they had only beco stronger but she still had weak control over her gift.
Walking out of her system space, she wondered if she should get a house in the main world instead of staying in the system space that were like small space pockets.
Shaking her head, she decided against it. She was not yet rich enough for her to consider such options.
She walked straight to the Departntal centre. Arriving at the departntal Centre which had many floors, her destination was the seventh floor. She had already prepared what to sell.
Entering the elevator, she heard the familiar robotic voice, "Which floor is your destination?"
"Seventh Floor."
It didn't take up much ti, she was not sure if it was even up to a minute and she arrived at the sales centre.
Her eyes scanned the crowd, mostly moving between each staff.
She walked up to the one who she had sold her things to. To her, it was best to deal with one person and after asking Xen. Xen had assured her that he was trustworthy.
Well, she wasn't really selling contraband goods.
"Hi..." She had a smile on her face as she stared at the well dressed young man with well trimd hair.
"Oh! It's you again."
"I still need your services."
"That's great. Please follow ." Zosia followed him as they both entered the room they had stayed in before.
After she was done settling with him, she had a total of 5 Million points.
"It was nice doing business with you." They said in unison as they both shook hands.
Leaving the place, she entered the elevator. Arriving at the 6th floor which was the task centre, she was amazed by what she saw.
There was a section that had tables and chairs and so people were busy chatting. Mostly talking about their task or different missions. At the other section was the task board, lined up on the wall. She noticed it was self servicing but still unaware of how to go about it. She walked to the receptionist whose position was facing opposite the elevator circle.
"Hi. I need help in navigating so tasks." Her words concise with her usual professional smile adorning her lips.
The receptionist, a middle-aged woman with a warm smile, glanced up from her desk. "Of course, dear. What kind of tasks are you interested in?"
Zosia leaned forward slightly, her expression eager. "I'm looking for tasks within my capabilities and level."
"Hmmm, then what is your ID?" She asked.
"Do you an the ID for paynt or my na?" She asked with confusion written on her face.
"Both are the sa thing ma." The receptionist replied with a warm smile.
Feeling confused, she wanted to have a clearer understanding of her situation. "Ma, I don't have an ID as a na but my real na, so how is my paynt ID the sa as my na?"
The middle aged receptionist looked at her in surprise.
"Alright. What's your na?"
"Zosia ave Branden."
The holographic screen in front of the woman changed, revealing Zosia's face and so basic details.
"Mhmm indeed, your na is your na and not a serial number." The lady muttered with a tilt of her head.
"Now, your level and the task you can take." There was a pause for a mont before rows of task appeared.
Since the holographic screen was set at two people, only Zosia and the receptionist could see it.
Looking at the rows of task, one caught her eye. It was an apocalypse task with great reward and a ti limit.
Since she decided to push herself, she felt that was better. Turning to the receptionist, she spoke:
"I will take this task."
"Okay." The receptionist said followed by another pause as her hand moved fast along the holographic screen.
"I have sent you the details to your task panel. Do check it out."
"How will I get the rewards ma?"
"Since you are a newbie, you may not know but since you have collected the task, your chip is linked to it, so once the task is completed, the rewards are imdiately deposited."
"Ooh, Okay. Thanks." She said with a professional smile.
"Goodluck in your task and rember there is a ti limit."
Zosia nodded appreciatively and turned to leave, her mind already buzzing with plans for the upcoming task. As she exited the task centre, she felt a surge of excitent mixed with a hint of nervousness. This was her first ti going to an apocalypse world, so she definitely needs to get a book with so knowledge about it.
Besides this was also her chance to earn even more rewards and further enhance her abilities.
Taking a deep breath , she left the Departntal Centre. She decided to check out the stalls on the marble pavent.
She walked to the comrcial street which had so street stalls and roadside peddlers occupying so space on the pavent.
She walked towards the first person she was seeing, who happened to be an old man.
Looking at the old man whose ear was the only body part that was strange from the normal humans she had seen, she wondered why an old man was here anyway ?
She was a little surprised to see the old man but suddenly rembered that apart from not seeing people below 18 years of age, she had at least t, three people who were behind in age, so she shouldn't be prejudiced.
After going through the old man wares, she kept on going till she arrived at a big shop located close to the heart of the comrcial street.
Opening the glass door, the bell announced her presence followed by a female voice.
"Welco! What can we help you with?"
"I am looking for books on apocalypse and soul language." She said to the female receptionist.
"Mmm. Please go to aisle 45 and 65 for what you are looking for. The little robot will guide you." The female receptionist answered.
Zosia followed the small robot with its height only reaching her calf. Passing through different aisles, she was surprised by the wares they had as well as the points needed.
She even saw a Love talisman which she had seen in the old man wares but this one should be stronger as the price was on a higher side.
Arriving at Aisle 45 which had the soul language, she looked at the soul language skill.
They each had varying prices and different contents. The basic/novice one consist of just daily communications. Interdiate ranged from basic communications to identifying so complex structures and the more you go, the more contents there are.
Picking out the Expert dictionary, she paid one million points for it, which was quite expensive.
Going to Aisle 65, she bought a comprehensive book on Apocalypse which cost her 10,000 points. So in total, she spent
One million ten thousand points on just two books.
Feeling the heart ache of her points being spent, she quickly left the shop, unwilling to spend one more minute there.
She took note of the fact that despite how long ti had passed in her personal space, it didn't seem like she had been gone for long when asured with the main world ti.
Zosia also hadn't checked the new features of her system. Thinking about it, she imdiately clicked on the return button in her holographic screen.
Appearing back in her personal space, she gazed at the decorations in the room and smiled. As for how genuine her smile was, it would only be known to her.
Sitting on the couch in the room, she clicked on the holographic screen .

Gazing at the two new functions, her eyes glead with happiness. The functions had also increased her rate of survivability.
She was not strong and neither did she believe she was invincible. Even when she faced Lucian and his group, she was so nervous inside. If they hadn't relented, she was sure she would have succumbed.
Right now, she didn't want to think about those things but to quickly learn the things in the book she had bought.
