The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 241

Chapter 241: Chapter 241: It Ate All My Swords?!

As soon as Scarlett Jennings said this, everyone present was taken aback.

Gregory Xander even shot up from his seat, "Impossible!"

To Gregory Xander’s reaction, Scarlett merely glanced over indifferently, "Nothing is impossible."

Her advantage over Gregory Xander lay in her eyes’ ability to see things they couldn’t.

For instance, even through a screen, she could clearly see the nearly formed Evil Spirit faintly swirling around the broken sword.

The collector on the other end of the livestream was startled by Scarlett Jennings’ words, casting an incredulous look at his collection of broken swords.

"Young master, the Sword Spirit you’re talking about, is it the kind from those immortal cultivation novels?"

As he spoke, an involuntary expression of joy appeared on his face, "Could it be that my place is some kind of treasure land where spiritual energy gathers?"

Did the originally unremarkable broken sword grow a Sword Spirit after entering his collection room?

The collector wasn’t as concerned about the destruction of his many collections.

Scarlett Jennings looked at the inexplicably excited collector and didn’t quite understand his excitement, but it didn’t stop her from answering.

"In a way, your collection room is indeed a treasure land for this sword."

The collector grew even more excited at her words, only to hear Scarlett Jennings explain calmly,

"Generally, the conditions for the birth of a Sword Spirit are extremely stringent. Nowadays, it’s almost impossible to develop a Sword Spirit. But this broken sword is unique."

"From its blade, it’s accumulated at least a thousand years of Evil Qi. Swords like this usually bring death or harm to their collectors due to the Evil Qi. You and its previous owner being unharmed is primarily because it became a broken sword."

"When any sharp weapon breaks, its power is significantly reduced. The opportunity for this sword to develop a Sword Spirit ended when it broke. However, it unexpectedly entered your collection room, surrounded by so much Sword Energy..."

Scarlett Jennings paused here momentarily, then provided a relatively easier-to-understand analogy.

"It’s like a starving weasel locked in a chicken coop full of chickens..."

The collector, originally a little smug, was dumbfounded at Scarlett Jennings’ words.

"You, you mean it ate all my swords?!"

So it wasn’t his collection room gathering the nature’s spiritual energy, but rather the treasures in his collection room that naturally carried spiritual energy...

The livestream audience, who were listening with great interest, couldn’t help but be floored by the analogy.

["Wow, the imagery instantly came to life!"]

["Girl, you sure know your metaphors."]

["Biggest piece of bad news today: a collector’s chickens all died!"]

["They all rusted, so they all died."]

["I see it as a big tree growing and instinctively drawing nutrients from the surrounding soil."]

["Anyway, I sympathize with the collector for a second."]

Scarlett Jennings also looked at the comments in the livestream and happened to see the tree metaphor. She nodded in agreement,

"This comment is also apt. The older the swords, the more Sword Energy they naturally possess. This Sword Qi keeps them sharp through the passage of time.

This Sword Energy can be seen as their nourishment. So you can understand that your entire collection was drained of its nourishment by it, leading to everything rusting overnight."

["Wow, this feels like raising a Gu King."]

The owner of the named comment was even more thrilled.

["Aaaah, the girl mentioned me by name and praised me!"]

["I always thought she focused on helping people. Didn’t expect her to pay attention to the comments! If I’d known, I wouldn’t have just typed ’wtf’!"]
