NOVEL NEXT Chapter 25: I Would've Broken A Rib Or Two If I Had Them.
The man felt an intense urge to facepalm. But he was technically doing it already, right? I mean, he was clutching his head with his hands, and that should count as facepalming right? Never mind. Back to the story.
The man did not bother much about Catherine's comment and asked her with concern, "Did you really gain any knowledge?! Was the leader speaking the truth?! Will we really gain knowledge by getting stabbed by those needles?! Is the king really the messenger of the ancestors-"
"Woah woah woah. Calm down. One question at a time.", Catherine said.
The man asked the question that mattered the most to him. "Did you really gain any knowledge? And is it really possible to make Lyria lush again?"
Catherine smiled softly and said, "Yes. I really did gain knowledge that should've been unattainable. It was more like I was enlightened about farming. It is completely possible to make Lyria lush again. All it'll take is more time. And also, before you ask, yes. You gain knowledge if you are stabbed by those needles."
Even though her last statement sounded extremely hilarious, it was the approval that the man needed. He immediately walked towards the king who had fallen on his butt, and said with a solemn tone, "I Swear My Loyalty To You, My King. Allow me to receive the holy knowledge of farming that can allow me to feed my family properly again."
-------------------------
Harry literally leaped like a cat that was jump scared when Catherine screamed.
He fell on to the floor on to his butt. It hurt quite a bit.
The system tried her best to hold back her laughter. But it was just too hard because what happened was just too funny. She would've probably broken a rib or two if not for the fact that she had none. It was quite rude and impolite to laugh at someone who had just hurt himself, but she just couldn't stop herself.
[Hahahahaha!]
Harry felt embarrassed as he heard the laughter of his system. She was laughing so hard that she would probably be rolling on the floor slamming her fist if she had a body. He ignored her laughter though, as it just made him feel extremely embarrassed.
Now that he thought about it, did the system have a body? This was something he never thought about. Hm... he should probably ask her about it.
"Hey system, I don't want to be rude, and you can ignore or dodge the question if you don't want to answer it, but do you have a body?", he asked in his mind.
He knew that since the system could read his thoughts, she should probably be avoiding his question as she didn't answer as soon as he thought about it, or she should just have not enough energy to answer his question as she had all her energy occupied on laughing.
