Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2060  Loot Goblin

While Lin Mu was observing his 'hoard' and marveling at his organization skills, a silver sphere manifested behind him.

~shua~

The sphere faded away and the figure of Xukong was revealed. "You know, there was once a person that said the same thing. He kept on hoarding and hoarding until one day he had hoarded several world's worth of stuff.

They called him the Great Loot Goblin who could put a dragon to shame." Xukong spoke, feeling very amused.

"Oh? There was actually someone like that?" Lin Mu was intrigued by the little story.

"Indeed. They even say that he is still hoarding to this day." Xukong replied.

"He must've hoarded a lot right? How much would it be today?" Lin Mu wondered.

"Possibly a thousand worlds worth or more." Xukong guessed, having no idea. "Though it's good that you finally got to this." He said finding it much cleaner than before.

"Ah yeah. It does feel quite good." Lin Mu replied. "I feel a sense of satisfaction that I can't quite describe." He added.

"Mmhmm, you did well." Xukong praised.

"Did I disturb you, though?" Lin Mu asked. "I didn't wish to wake you up." He said.

Xukong was usually cultivating in one part of the ring while absorbing the Spatial Energy, and Lin Mu didn't want to break his focus. Thus he hadn't spoken to him while he was organizing all the things.

"It's fine." Xukong stated. "I wanted to see the final result." "Took much longer than I thought." Lin Mu said, checking the time. "It's been about six days now."

"That's still a lot faster than what it would take you outside the ring." Xukong chuckled. "Imagine manually moving all those items."

"Oh…" Lin Mu could feel the dread simply by thinking about it. "I can at least teleport items instantly and rearrange them with a thought here. Outside… no way I'd be done, even in a couple of months." He stated.

In the ring, Lin Mu had absolute control over the items that were present within it. As such, teleporting them with a mere thought was nothing and took no effort from him.

While thinking of all this, Lin Mu was reminded of something.

"Ah! Senior, I found a way to obtain the third ring." Lin Mu suddenly spoke.

"You did?" Xukong asked before checking the memory that Lin Mu had just shared with him.

After seeing it, he learned about the conversations that Lin Mu had with Lady Kang.

"Seems like you've obtained a small fortune." Xukong said.

"Not exactly. I still need to finish the work that Lady Kang asked me for." Lin Mu replied.

"Hahah! You got nerve thinking it is something impossible with me around." Xukong couldn't help but laugh.

"You're willing to help me, senior?" Lin Mu was surprised.

From what he could recall, Xukong wished for Lin Mu to learn on his own and limited the amount of influence he had on it all.

"Of course. You are searching for the third ring which is something beyond the normal scope of things. The ring is something even I cannot comprehend, thus I'd be a fool not to assist you." Xukong replied, making Lin Mu a bit relieved.

Having heard that Lin Mu was content and his hidden anxiety vanished.

"Though considering the time it has been, finding it will certainly be a bit hard." Xukong admitted. "The void is a fickle place, and it is hard to estimate where anything goes." He added.

"Hmm… I'll try to get the closest coordinates possible." Lin Mu replied.

"We'll see how that goes," Xukong said, letting Lin Mu think about the rest.

But while Lin Mu was doing this, Xukong's thoughts went to the woman Lin Mu had been with a while ago.

'Hmm… that woman actually dares to come out of her clan… I gotta say, she's probably the bravest woman I've seen with her condition.' Xukong thought to himself, thinking about Lady Kang.

Lin Mu had no idea that Xukong seemed to have different thoughts about Lady Kang.

'Though for someone of her physique to be that ambitious… She's either very confident or naïve.' Xukong thought, looking at Lin Mu. 'She has no idea the kind of risk she is at, merely being in the vicinity of others like him.' He reckoned.

Xukong didn't speak about this though, letting the woman keep her privacy. He also thought Lin Mu had no need to know about something like that for the time being.

The spider watched, as Lin Mu finished his work and finalized the layout of the ring. There were now multiple towers in the ring, each having a different function, and it was something unlike anything that had been seen before.

The closest comparison would be a sect, but a sect was much more widespread and also had tens of thousands of people. If one compared the area that the towers had taken in the ring around the altar, it would be about the same as a small to medium sect in a mortal world. As such, it didn't feel much to him, and he simply felt like it was his own personal abode.

"An abode, but infinitesimally expandable." Lin Mu said with a smirk.

Having done that, Lin Mu touched up on some of the things he had kept for last and finally moved onto the treat.

'Finally… time to read all the things I had been waiting for.' Lin Mu thought and went to the library tower.

There, Lin Mu read all the books he had been desiring too and analyzed them as well. He took his time doing all that, and took out his personal jade slip to add his notes. Day after day passed and it was now the fourteenth day since Lin Mu had entered his ring.

Lin Mu was nowhere close to finishing the mortal books in his ring. There were simply so many books in it, that he had basically not even seen them due to them being in spatial storage rings. But now he was stopped by a particular thing.
