Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Fang Ning was satisfied as he looked at the product of his wild imagination, the Lake of Yin, which was spinning around like a?Chinese Pa Kua?1
A little time ago, he had a bright idea and thought about how “Yin and Yang reciprocate and inter-transfer, mutually reinforcing one another”, which was often mentioned in novels, hence he gave this suggestion to the Sir.
These words reflected how difficult it was to achieve it.
Nonetheless, Sir System still found a way, as there was a similar method in the perfect True Bodhi Tactics.
I turned out that the Upper Realm had also walked the path of Buddhahood conflux, this supreme technique that belonged to Taoists was not even recorded in normal scriptures, but it was recorded in True Bodhi Tactics because the founder of this technique was a master who practiced Buddhahood as well.
There was an old saying – hybridization is king…
At this instant, Sir System interrupted abruptly. “I heard from Lock and Danny from the Draconic Penitentiary that the land here is about one hundred and thirteen square kilometers. Just now, you told me that you want to build a city here, where will the funds come from?”
Upon hearing that, Fang Ning said righteously, “The ultimate goal of building the city is to provide you with fuel for Morality, of course it’ll come from you, Sir.”
Instantly, Sir System said in a state of grievance, “I knew that it was going to be like this…no wonder when you came up with that ‘salvation foundation’ and I said that I no longer have to borrow money from you, you gave an avid smile.
“Previously, I thought that it’s because I’ll need to borrow experience points from you, now I understand that no matter how much money I have, you’ll lose them all for me.”
Fang Ning lectured it immediately. “You have no idea at all. Essentially, this money is just a symbol of our resources, which is completely worthless if it’s being saved up. Only by making it flow and by spurring the flow of resources to elevate our strengths, it’ll be meaningful.”
The System replied, “Of course I know, but this time you spent too much.”
Fang Ning was simply not bothered about the Sir’s complains, he only said, “The thousand gold spent will come back again, remember, this has to be done discreetly. Don’t speak carelessly of this outside. After all, a world crisis will occur soon, if the others know of this, they’ll think that Vigilante A is looking for a back way out, and it’ll have terrible consequences.”
The System said, “I never speak carelessly, you’re the one who often does that, doing things however you want it to be.”
Fang Ning was tired of minding this idiot, he thought to himself, ‘Hehe, though I’ve been brought back to reality from my emperor dream, I can still dream of being a lord, and I’ll become one with my true identity…
‘All in all, it doesn’t feel great to scratch an itch from outside a boot.’?2
Hence, he quickly rushed Sir System and said, “Enough with the nonsense, hurry up and carry out a field study, I’d like to see the foundation of the future Morality City.”
“Oh,” Just as Sir System was going to agree, it said dubiously, “Wait a minute, I have something going on. Since just now, I’ve noticed some yellow spots nearby and two acquaintances. They probably came in advance, what are they trying to do here?”
As Fang Ning was caught up in the thought about transforming the Source of Yin, he really did not notice this.
After he heard what the System said, he was on his toes instantly, then he pondered for a while and understood at once. “What else are they trying to do? Since they’ve come in advance, they were definitely brought in by those two evil spirits, they can’t possibly be of any good. Who are those two acquaintances by the way?”
“One is called Valery, the other one is Alex.”
“Oh, it’s the bastards from the two fighting tribes.” Fang Ning recalled right away. “There’s no doubt, surely they’re casting their eyes on this Source of Yin. Haha, how dare anyone covet the territory that the master of Fang Family has reserved? Kill the hell out of them…”
“Eh, Mr. Rich Boss, your obsession is getting stronger again… It turns out that this advantage comes along with the elevation of your strength, you’ll have to work overtime more often in the future.” Sir System was inexplicably surprised.
Fang Ning immediately forcibly explained, “That’s not it… it’s because this town that I’d like to build is purposed to benefit an extensive amount of righteous people. This is originally a land of Yin energy, thus their presence here is clear, they definitely want to build a Holy Land of Undead, isn’t that against righteousness? They’re certainly not good people, of course we’ll have to kill them quick.”
“I see. Nevertheless, the yellow spots on the map now aren’t showing any signs of sin, I’m not sure if you’re wrong or my map really needs an upgrade and renewal…”
Fang Ning said at once, “Of course it’s you that needs a patch up and an upgrade, I’m unquestionably right.”
Sir System did not refute, it only directly controlled Vigilante A’s body to walk over to a pompous pink kitten not far away from the lake water.
Everyone from the Special Investigations Unit promptly noticed the situation, they instantly looked at them one after another.
Upon seeing the situation, Qiao Zijiang was confused, she secretly thought to herself, ‘This car has such a high level of qualification, it’s unfortunate that I’m cultivating the Path of the Chinese Zodiac, and the Chinese Zodiac doesn’t include cats…’
The timing of its appearance was rather strange indeed, could it be that the Venerable One had noticed something wrong?
…
Tom the black cat was a little anxious as the one walking towards it now was the hero of China, the Eastern Pharos, the True Dragon of the upper realm!
The titles like “hero of China, Eastern Pharos” did not scare Sir Tom, but his identity as the “True Dragon of the upper realm” was something it needed to look up to.
All of a sudden, it was somewhat regretful.
It did not think that it could not hold in its greed, this was considered to be a personal involvement in the situation…
As it looked at Vigilante A who was walking towards itself with an expressionless face, it had a vague instinct that his look was obviously the one before he farmed spots, which was shown in the videos…
After it noticed this, it no longer hesitated, and it leapt into the sky and vanished all at once.
“Tss! As expected, something’s strange!” Everyone from the Special Investigations Unit gasped after seeing what happened.
They were extremely astonished, although they had previously thought that it was quite odd that a cat and a lost Whitestone person had appeared, they did not have the time to investigate it in detail. Instead, they only put them aside and kept them under surveillance.
However, with just one look, the Venerable One could tell that something was wrong, he was indeed a man with “Heaven’s Eye” just like what was said.
Qiao Zijiang was relatively annoyed at the situation, she did not account for the fact that with protection from the Venerable One where it was safe and secure, their alertness would be hugely reduced.
In the past when she carried out her tasks, unusual trespassers such as them were not allowed to roam around the core site, even if it was just a car.
What just happened was neither a big nor small act of dereliction of duty.
Sir System said in utter shock, “I didn’t show any murderous intent, but that fellow ran away so quickly…”
Fang Ning thought carefully for a while then came to a sudden realization. “I know who it is. Other than Tom the black cat, Anderson’s old boss, who else has this legendary ability to travel through space? Long ago, Anderson has mentioned that Tom the black cat could travel between spaces through soul linking.”
The System said with certainty, “That’s right, this ability is seldom seen and is very high-end, only very few people know how to use it, let alone cats. It even purposely transformed its form, it has hidden motives indeed. Mr. Rich Boss, your analysis was right, these fellows are evil.”
Fang Ning said proudly, “Meanwhile, get rid of the other rascals too then, lest they covet my city in the future.”
…
Crouching on the level ground of the mountain while absorbing Yin energy was Claus, no, Claude.
He really could not comprehend why as he waited and waited, he had met the real clan leader of the Whitestone people so soon…
Luckily, he had always put on a full show, so he would not reveal simple flaws.
That was right, Sir System was still afraid of killing the wrong person. Even though Fang Ning could farm them after he killed them, it did not see any signs of their sins on the map.
Therefore, Sir System only captured and threw them into the Draconic Arcane Realm instead of the Draconic Penitentiary.
On the third level of the Draconic Arcane Realm.
Vigilante A and the members of the Special Investigations Unit had already surrounded Claus.
“Clan Leader Shi, this person calls himself Claus and claims that he was lost in an arcane realm when he came down with you, do you have any idea?”
Clan Leader Shi Gan checked him out then said in confusion, “Eh, isn’t your name Shi Shiba? I remember that I made the elders make you stay up there, why did you come down on your own and even changed your name? Did you learn to lie?”
Claus immediately rubbed his head with his hand. “I didn’t learn to lie, clan leader. When I saw you leave that day, I was really worried so I secretly came down, but I don’t know why I fell in here. As for my name, it was a handsome fellow who said that I had fate with him, so he changed my name.”
After Clan Leader Shi Gan heard him, he furrowed his brows and paused for a while then said, “What you said was the truth. Since this is the case, you don’t have to return, we happen to be short-handed here, stay and help out with work then.
“Work hard and work well, the Venerable Dragon God is really nice to us. He offered us high salaries, there’s no need to work overnight, and it’s extremely safe over here. It’s rare to find a job like this.”
Sir System quickly told Fang Ning, “Look at you, you almost made me farm the wrong person, quickly ask your old book to give me a million experience points to help me get over my shock…”
Fang Ning was speechless, he was a little hesitant and uncertain as well, but he did not show weakness to Sir System.
He only said, “I didn’t let you kill him either…besides, you’re not able to see every sin now. Though Clan Leader Shi has amazing abilities, his deduction might not necessarily be accurate this time. Nothing is absolute in this word.”
Sir System refuted, “There is, at least you’re absolutely a salty fish.”
Fang Ning was at a loss for words, he reminded it, “Enough with the nonsense, it’ll be good if he stays here too, I’ll let Achilles the space governer to look at him.”
Thus, Vigilante A left with the people.
As Claude looked up and away, he saw herb field after herb field, where one or two Whitestone people popped up occasionally.
He was dumbfounded. In order to disguise his identity, he had prepared for almost everything, but the only thing he did not prepare himself for was farming.
Farming was not a thing to be underestimated, it was a professional’s work. Without hundreds of years, it would be impossible for one to achieve the standard of a Whitestone person, hence he did not even put this into consideration from the start.
That being said, he did not retort in any way.
This was because he knew that the golden rule of the Whitestone people was to listen to their clan leaders, and to listen to their elders. Only huge matters would require group discussion.
Currently, his matter was clearly not a huge one, so it was impossible for him to refute the clan leader’s arrangement as it would not comply with the conscientious and obedience Whitestone people.
There were countless proficient eyes watching around.
A tomcat had just escaped, which evidently made them way more alert. A wrong move could land him in the Draconic Penitentiary…
Despite that, it was not a problem for Claude, who was profoundly intelligent, he instantly came up with a genius idea. He would just do all the hard work by avoiding those that required skills, he could still pass himself off as being able to farm.
Except this genius idea somehow did not feel right…
That being the case, in the Draconic Arcane Realm, a fake Whitestone person blended into Vigilante A’s second core site.
Two days later, he became a hardworking and capable true Whitestone person who specially looked for all the hard, dirty work to do.
The positivity and sincerity in his working attitude made even the true Whitestone people compliment him – this was the role of a Whitestone person, by doing all the tough and dirty work, leaving only the easy ones to the others, he was truly an honest man among all honest men.
Towards all these opinions, Claus always smiled simply and looked humble.
Damn it, after all the scheming that he had done, he was only going to do tough work for Vigilante A with nothing in return?
Oh, that was not it, either. He was paid with salary that seemed to be bountiful for ordinary people, but so what about it?
He was only a castle on land, this bountiful salary could not be bought even after a hundred years.
He thought to himself, ‘Wait and see, Vigilante A, I’ll work hard to gain your trust and when that time comes, you’d better watch out…’
While Claude pondered, he carried a bag of high quality mixed fertilizer that had an impressive smell, then passed it to another Whitestone person who was in charge of fertilizing.
That person smiled at him and pat on his shoulder to express encouragement.
Claude returned a smile as well.
