Chapter 10 - The Five Spirit Halls of the Spirit Card and Spirit Hall System
Li Zheng followed the system and walked on the square. The bell of the ruined grand palace did not ring again, but Li Zheng knew that this dilapidated spirit palace must have its extraordinary and unique features.
Finally approaching the bottom of the spirit palace, looking at the tall stone pillars, long stone stairs and dilapidated dome of the spirit palace in front of him, Li Zheng was speechless for a long time. At this time, the system that had not spoken all the way spoke: [The spirit palace system is an auxiliary spirit summoning system. The function of the spirit summoning system is to use "spirit cards" to summon spirits from the other world, but without the support of the spirit palace, these spirits cannot go to the real world. ]
["Spirit card"? Is it like a card like the Phoenix God? A card, is it really that powerful? ] Li Zheng was a little confused. In the final analysis, this was because he did not understand this world. Anyone who has read the original work would know that in the world of Yu-Gi-Oh, a card is really that powerful, even if it was originally just a mortal bone.
(Qishala & Shi-chan: My knees hurt a little.)
[Yes, and the power of the card is far more powerful than you think, host. "Spirit Cards" can not only summon spirits, but the five spirit temples in the Spirit Temple system also need corresponding spirit cards to open. 】The system replied: 【This is the rule of this world. Even the summoned spirits must convert most of their power in the original world into the corresponding card group. However, since the host's own cards cannot be used as a guide for the spirits to come to this world, the summoning system cannot use the host's own cards, but can only use the cards of this world itself. 】
【So that's it...】Li Zheng suddenly realized that if the strength of a card represents its power, then the strength of monster cards such as Trident Dragon (gift), Crown Tiramisu, and God Shadow I-Midrash (gift) in his deck should all exceed Phoenix God, but they have never been prompted by the system as "spirit cards". No wonder, it turns out that spirit cards must be from this world itself.
【Not only that, spirit cards must be cards that once hosted powerful elves, but no longer host elves for various reasons. Cards that are still hosting elves or that once hosted elves are too weak are not enough to become spirit cards. However, the spirit cards needed to unlock the spirit hall are not like this. They are more powerful cards, but they must be produced locally in this world. 】The system added, 【At the same time, the spirit hall is the place where the summoned spirits rest, and it is also the place where you issue bounty tasks. 】
【Bounty tasks? Could it be that the summoned spirits are not obedient? 】Li Zheng was a little surprised. According to the rules of general time-travel novels, shouldn’t the creatures you summon obey you? It seems that he thought too much.
【…Please respect yourself, host. You are not Ye Liangchen. There are not a hundred ways to make them unable to stay in the local area. 】The voice of the system seemed to suddenly have a hint of helplessness, but soon returned to the original electronic sound. 【The "spirits" in the original world are very powerful and excellent. They will not listen to the words of incompetent people, and they don’t work for nothing. The "spirit points" mentioned earlier are the price for the "spirits" to take action; of course, if the spirit agrees with you, the host, it may help you do something for free when it is in a good mood. 】
【Is that so...】 Li Zheng thought about it carefully and accepted this statement. He was not a conceited person. He did not think highly of himself and wanted to be the protagonist of the whole world just because he got the system, not to mention those spirits who were originally strong. Li Zheng put himself in their shoes and assumed that if he did not die suddenly, but lived to the future and became the person who used computers to cause changes, and then suddenly one day, after he died for various reasons, he was summoned to another world by someone. That person arrogantly ordered him to do things for him and did not give him any benefits. Then he... I really wanted to slap him twice after thinking about it!
If he was like this, it was self-evident what the reaction of those powerful and arrogant spirits would be.
No longer thinking about these messes, Li Zheng asked the system a question: [System, can you tell me why I need to summon spirits to assist me? Don't I want to complete these tasks alone? ]
【Host, you will understand this question when you first receive the relevant task. Due to various reasons, this world has seen conflicts that should not have occurred, and these conflicts are for you, the host, to deal with. But one person's power has its limits after all, not to mention that most of your energy has to be placed on the contractor, so you don't have time to care about so many things, so sometimes you need to use spirit points to hire spirits to help you complete these tasks. 】The system explained in detail.
【So that's it. 】Li Zheng understood this a little, and at the same time he also deduced other meanings, just like he didn't know the plot now and couldn't control the situation, then the role of this summoning spirit and spirit temple system is very obvious, don't know the situation? Then use the power of yourself and the spirit to guide the situation in your own direction, as long as you don't deliberately compete with the "main plot" of this world, so as not to be killed by the protagonist.
Li Zheng finally figured this out, and after thanking the system, he realized that he had unknowingly walked the long stairs under the giant palace, and now he was standing at the closed gate of the giant palace.
Li Zheng pushed the closed stone door, and when he found it was unshakable, he gave up pushing the door and began to observe. There is a relief painting on the door of the spirit hall. Looking from the bottom up, the painting shows a huge book, which seems to record endless knowledge in heaven and earth.
"The forbidden holy book..." Li Zheng murmured, and he didn't know how he sensed it. He guessed that the key spirit card to unlock this spirit hall should be the "forbidden holy book"!
Above the relief painting, there is a lettering. Li Zheng squinted his eyes and read the three words "Human Spirit Hall".
[Since there is a human spirit hall, what are the other four spirit halls? ] Li Zheng asked the system, and the system replied: [The five spirit halls are the human spirit hall, the spirit hall, the demon spirit hall, the heroic hall and the god spirit hall. ]
The system stopped talking after answering here. Li Zheng was about to continue asking, but he felt that it was dawn in the outside world, and Hui-chan was calling him. [Let's put things here to an end first. For now, the matter of the Duelist Kingdom Competition is still the most important. 】After making up his mind, Li Zheng said goodbye to the system, clicked on the "residence system", and teleported out from his inner world.
In the huge square, the five temples were still dilapidated, but there seemed to be a little more light in them.
