Chapter 124: Repent, Even if You’re Already Dead!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Fang Ning hesitated before answering, “Oh, I didn’t understand your functions enough previously…”
The System deadpanned, “You were lazy.”
Fang Ning retorted, “Cut so slack… Although this function will serve us well, there’s still the possibility of two problems happening.”
“There’s no need for you to say it. The first problem is that those of Feng Gensheng’s grade are all well-hidden; they never appear to cause trouble so we can’t catch them without reason. We can’t catch those weaker than him either cause that’ll be pointless since they’ll probably run out of spiritual sense very fast once they’re locked up here. Once their spirit is separated from their body, nobody will last long enough.
“Secondly, we’re now in the System Space, so there’s no external source of vitality for Feng Gensheng to absorb for cultivation. He’s weaker than Anderson, so he won’t last long.”
Fang Ning continued, “I can solve the first problem, but do you have any ideas on solving the second one?”
The System answered, “I can feed them dicine. I can alchemize so pills that can replenish vitality so they can consu it. However, I suggest you think twice. These pills will need to be made with vitality and we haven’t gotten our return on investnt for those Vitality Crops either. We can only buy vitality from the Truth Departnt’s internal market, which will be quite costly.”
Fang Ning responded, “Oh, you don’t have to worry about that, they have to pull their own weight of course. Have you forgotten that I can play video gas for a living now? I’ll just recruit them into the guild I want to found and then they can just farm money for .”
“You’ve really thought of everything, Host… No, did you think of this after your previous guild in the ga disbanded? There just wasn’t a chance for you to carry it out.”
“Am I soone like that? I rely felt that these heinous criminals were let off easy from just dying with a single attack from you. Now, after killing them, we can force their spirits to contribute Aggro and money to us. One, we will be able to continue punishing them for their sins. Two, by having them help us accumulate resources, we can defeat even more evildoers. Isn’t this killing two birds with one stone?”
The System praised, “You’re brilliant, Host.”
“I don’t want to hear your fake praises sourced online. Since the initial experint of the first step in the System Advancent Plan was a success, I’m in a good mood, so I’ll let my brain take a break while I read so novels. Go treat your wounds, stop using my body to play around. I’ll be carrying out the second step of the plan after I rest.”
A System Notification read, [Host has been released from “Kenja Mode”, mood has returned to normal.]
The System said, “Hmm, I can now completely confirm that Host is still the Host…”
…
The next day, Fang Ning completed so nial tasks and transferred Robert and the middle-aged woman to the Truth Departnt.
While the transfer took place, he took the opportunity to finish the second part of the Advancent Plan by helping the recently revived Long Fan redeem itself from the false credit it had taken from Fang Ning…
After he was done, he proudly looked at Brother Long Fan’s green ally indicator on the System Map; it seed that its Friendliness Attribute had reached the cap. With an immortal fellow by his side, things would be way easier now.
The System spoke up, “Eh, you’ve actually thought out more things than when it cos to matters of battle? I was just about to use ‘Thousand-mile Assistance’ to farm so monsters.
“When we were fighting Anderson the last ti, if Long Fan had been green while he was close to that coffin, I would have been able to ignore Anderson’s shield and teleport directly into the coffin once Anderson killed him, allowing to attack Anderson’s actual body directly.”
Fang Ning taunted, “Haha, as long as I put my brains to it, even you will lose to …”
“I think I should let you enter “Kenja Mode” more so that you’ll be able to think more.”
“…With Long Fan as an ally, we won’t have to worry about not knowing where to catch criminals like Elder Feng.”
“You’re brilliant, Host.”
“Get a different one.”
“I don’t know a different one.”
At the sa ti, Long Fan, who had returned to Ji City, never thought that he would be on soone’s mind. He was just cultivating an advanced technique with sha in his heart.
It wasn’t sothing as advanced as the “Dragonization Ability” of course; this technique was but a shape-shifting ability that triggered morphological changes. However, even a technique like this was extrely valuable.
‘Not being able to repay the Venerable Ones despite knowing them really is a shaful thing.’
He thought this to himself as he cultivated the technique.
…
After he was done dealing with the Long Fan’s matters, Fang Ning suddenly thought of sothing that had previously slipped his mind completely.
“Eh, aren’t we supposed to look for Butler Zheng? Where did that fellow go?”
While he pondered on that thought, a QQ ssage ca in.
Zheng Dao’s ssage carried a happy tone, “Venerable One, this humble servant has been greatly successful in cultivation this ti and will return tomorrow.”
Seeing the ssage made three crows fly over his brain while cawing 1 . What? Was this fellow alright all along?
Fang Ning imdiately typed a reply, “Where have you been these past few days?”
Zheng Dao answered. “Eh, why are you asking this, Venerable One? After I took my leave, I was going to et a friend but fell into a Soul Labyrinth instead. Soone did save after, though. The sa person wanted to teach what they knew to but I needed to cultivate in isolation for a few days, and I did notify both Venerable Ones through QQ. You both did agree to letting cultivate in isolation almost imdiately.”
Fang Ning vomited blood, “Was your savior a male or a female? They must have cast an illusion spell on you. I don’t rember any ssage from you whatsoever. I already… No, the Truth Departnt checked your QQ chat history and told you didn’t send any ssage to at all. Why would we go around looking for you otherwise?”
Zheng Dao was shocked, “They were dressed in black from head to toe, so I couldn’t tell if it was a male or female. Didn’t you receive any ssage from ? Had I been trapped in the Soul Labyrinth this whole ti?”
“Now that you’re able to contact , I reckon that person has let you go.”
“Have you both been looking for these past few days to no result? This humble servant is ashad beyond words. Are you both alright?”
“We’re fine, but I know that you’re about to be in deep trouble soon.”
“…”
Under the blue sky, a white dragon and two dogs were leaning against the barrier atop a farm villa’s roof as they watched the Chinese opera play out below.
“Being a bachelor for 250 years doesn’t seem all that bad now,” quipped the yellow dog.
The black dog responded, “I suddenly feel like the consequences of being hit by that bullet isn’t all that scary either…”
At the courtyard below, Zheng Dao faced two classy-looking won who looked exactly the sa, clearly at his wits’ end.
“Ding Xiang, the Venerable White Dragon is watching from above, so this isn’t exactly appropriate, right? Besides, the imposter is probably soone on the Truth Departnt’s wanted list, right? You’ve brought her out into the open; aren’t you afraid she’ll run away?”
Both the Ding Xiangs stayed mute as they typed away on their phones. They then raised their phones, their faces expressionless.
The phones faced the direction of the roof; using the System’s exceptional vision, Fang Ning could clearly see the small letters displayed on the screens.
“Hmph, using such a cheap trick to get to talk is useless. She has decided to turn over a new leaf and has voluntarily accepted to sever her Bloodline Connection. She’ll be joining the Truth Departnt to atone for her cris, you don’t have to worry.”
“However, the Venerable White Dragon is quite worried about the fact that you can’t see through the imposter; so he has given permission to do this. Quickly, I’ll give you twenty minutes. If you can’t tell the difference, you’ll be getting it…”
Zheng Dao was incredibly helpless, “Ding Xiang, cut so slack, will you? First I was captured, then I was saved; I’ve never did anything that displeased you at all.”
A mont later, both Ding Xiangs held up their phones once again.
“Hmph, if you had seen through her ruse, you wouldn’t have been captured so easily. She had confessed that she was under the orders of Elder Feng; she had used my appearance to send you a video ssage, which helped her lure you right into the trap that allowed Elder Feng and Lei Juedong to capture you with no resistance. Tell , should I train you properly so that you’ll gain a sliver of the ability to distinguish between real and fake so that sothing like this won’t happen again?”
Zheng Dao didn’t dare answer.
…
After watching the scene unfold before his eyes, even Fang Ning couldn’t predict the outco of it all. All he knew was that after Zheng Dao had returned from following both Ding Xiangs out, he had been in “Kenja Mode” ever since. He was lethargic and he did all his tasks with no motivation.
“Old Man Zheng, you haven’t changed at all. Are you still a d*uchebag?” Fang Ning imdiately questioned after flying right in front of Zheng Dao.
Zheng Dao retorted, “Venerable White Dragon, when was I ever a d*uchebag? I’ve rely overused my Psionic Ability. I was helping Ding Xiang with psychotherapy just now.”
Fang Ning was no longer worried about his subordinate’s long-distance run of love; once their cultivation was complete, their lifespan would greatly increase, so they had plenty of ti to get to the finish line anyway.
He imdiately spoke of serious matters, “Go and ask the Truth Departnt what are the rewards this ti. Also, isn’t their internal market open to us already? Here’s a list of dicinal ingredients and a budget; get everything on the list. Don’t worry about overspending as long as you get the ingredients of highest quality.”
The System was still spitting blood from ti to ti; it kept saying that they needed to get the vitality herbs before they could alchemize anything but nothing could be bought from the usual places.
On the other hand, Qi’s Pharmaceutical Group of Qi City had long started experinting with planting vitality herbs. However, only a few months had passed and they were still quite far from success. From what President Zhao had said on QQ, they’ve been hitting quite a few walls. President Qi Ye had been running around looking for experts to help.
Hearing that it was a serious errand, Zheng Dao’s face pulled into one of strictness, “I was just about to report on this matter, Venerable One. The Truth Departnt ntioned that they’re avoiding the leak of so extrely important technical information on the massacre of Anderson’s party. They’re still in the initial stages of calculating the overall rewards.”
Fang Ning’s interest perked upon hearing this; what exactly was that extrely important technical information? Could it be useful for his System Advancent Plan?
Now that they had Anderson locked up, not asking would be a waste. If he didn’t answer, they could just farm so Aggro instead.
Fang Ning passed the dicinal ingredients list to Zheng Dao and had the System transfer so funds to him as well before sending him on his way.
He then entered the System Space.
…
The System Jail area.
Fang Ning grasped his ga book as he walked slowly along the pristine marble floor.
Except for the dark jail cells, the System Space’s four corners were lit brightly. The only place with lighting here was the walkway.
Two jail cells stood side by side here; the numbers 1 and 2 hung high above the respective jail cells.
Anderson was locked in cell 1, which previously imprisoned an Elite Nightmare Demon. The demon was now used as material for the Legendary Space Equipnt that the System was currently crafting. This place should be renad soon…
Anderson spoke first, “Soone’s coming. Elder Feng, stop sleeping.”
Elder Feng answered, “I won’t last more than a few weeks. Let take a nap before my spirit is destroyed completely. I’m already dead anyway.”
Fang Ning flung his ga book and it landed on Elder Feng’s jail cell with a loud bang, which shook the person inside to his core.
After the ga book automatically returned to Fang Ning, he started reprimanding, “Wake up, Feng Gensheng! This isn’t so place for you to kick back and relax. Don’t you have any sha for all the cris you’ve committed? Your sins are so grave and you want to take a nap? Repent, even if you’re already dead!”
A System Notification popped up, [Feng Gensheng’s Aggro towards the Host is increasing rapidly.]
Fang Ning nodded his head, ‘That’s good.’
