Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Long Fan pressed the ‘call’ button on the old-looking cell phone. The System Notification imdiately started flashing in his eyes.
[Long Fan the Stygian Snake is currently in a life-threatening situation, the System Map within vicinity will be revealed for the next 24 hours. Activating the skill Thousand-mile Assistance, there are two allies or followers in life-threatening situations, please select your target to provide assistance.]
The System said, “Oh, that’s great. Now get it away and hide in the System Space, I wanna go fishing…”
Fang Ning was speechless to that, “You’re such a heartless… never mind, Long Fan just gave us a huge advantage, I think we should give it a Variated Vitality Pill. I don’t know how long more we would need to stay in here. We’ll need it to co again every single day, so we need to maintain relationships.”
The System said, “Such a bother. Just one. And make it go away, don’t waste my fishing ti.”
Fang Ning was soone who rembers favors.
If it were not for Long Fan unveiling the System Map, the System would not have been able to arrive at the Land of Heritage, would not have been able to kill the weakened Pond-level beast, as well as book the only wild ginseng sprite in the world.
As soon as Long Fan pressed ‘call’, a string of numbers appeared on the screen. Before Long Fan could see what it was, the cell phone disappeared.
“Hmm, looks like the phone is fine. Maybe I had been cultivating too quickly recently and underestimated my strength,” said Fang Ning. He revealed a Vitality Pill in his claw and said, “Thank you for coming.”
Long Fan took the pearly dicinal pill off Fang Ning’s claw and imdiately knew it was sothing that cannot be found elsewhere, not even the top alchemists of the Truth Departnt could synthesize that quality of pills.
After taking the pill, it should add quite a bit to its strength, saving about a year of cultivation ti.
‘A simple deed like that, and the Venerable One gave such a good reward. He’s such a generous person!’
Long Fan was thinking that as he thanked Fang Ning, satisfying Fang Ning’s vanity.
Fang Ning waved his claw, saying that it was nothing, and that he might be asking for help in the next few days.
Long Fan imdiately agreed. Who knows, it might get even more advantages in the near future.
After giving Long Fan the pill, Fang Ning did not chase Long Fan away imdiately, thinking that it was difficult enough to have t soone he knew. He started chatting with Long Fan and trying to fish valuable information from it.
As the primary scout of the Truth Departnt, Long Fan had heard a lot of news, it was nothing a hobody like him could ever compare.
Moreover, he needed to communicate with normal people. Spending all his ti dealing with evil beings and criminals would not have been good to his sanity.
The System did not like novels and gas, so it was not a good partner to chat with.
Long Fan was different, it was a decent chatting partner and soone at which he could boast.
They started talking about webnovels, about the titles they were reading recently.
Long Fan ntioned soone who could update a hundred thousand words per day, and his work quality had been consistent. From his tendency to steer the story toward where his readers prefer, it did not seem like the author saved up chapters to release at once.
Fang Ning imdiately asked for the author’s pen na. It was ‘XXXXX’. Fang Ning morized it, thinking if there ever was a ti he needed to hide underground, there would still be books for him to read.
Long Fan said, “Let’s talk about sothing else, do you still play gas?”
Fang Ning said, “Of course, I’m playing that ga Battle of the Beasts, my account is Dragon Ascending The Heavens…”
Long Fan was shocked hearing that na, “Oh, that server-wide famous account is yours? No wonder it could perform so many amazing inhumanly maneuvers…”
Having boasted successfully, Fang Ning asked nonchalantly, “Oh, it’s nothing. The recent update with the spiritual sense control mode is more my thing. I’m a dragon after all…”
Long Fan said, “Impressive, I’ve just started playing, so I’m really a newbie. Most cultivators knew about the Truth Departnt being the main supporter of the ga’s developnt. I’ve heard about the spiritual sense control mode when I’m on missions with Qiao Zijiang, so I knew about so insider info of the ga.”
Fang Ning thought, ‘That’s right. I knew Long Fan likes to boast. After spending so ti together, it would definitely throw sothing out to pretend to be an expert…’
Fang Ning said, “Please, tell , my good brother. I don’t have many hobbies, but playing human gas is actually of the few.”
Being called ‘good brother’, Long Fan was joyful. There were not many people who could have this relationship with a true dragon…
It imdiately said, “I heard them saying that the next update would be even more shocking, they could be releasing the spiritual sense ch arena mode. The Think Tank group had been urging the Technical group to work faster to combine the spiritual sense mode and the ch technology. By then, cultivators would be able to duke it out through controlling chs with their spiritual sense.”
Fang Ning was aghast. Long Fan’s words were exactly how he had envisioned it.
It was a simple guess, really. chs were becoming common in many industries, like manufacturing, dicine, military, scientific research etc., they were everywhere.
In the era of Vitality Restoration, it was a hot topic among the researchers on how to combine these mystical arts with chs to better utilize them.
Fang Ning imdiately beca interested, he had wanted to discuss that topic at length.
The System interrupted, “How long do you want to chat? Do you need to provide so candles to you?”
Fang Ning, “That’d be great. This building was built in such a short ti, it’s got no electricity. I wanted to talk to my good dragon brother all night long… You wouldn’t understand it anyway. Go cultivate now, I will check the fruits of your cultivation soon.
The System, “…”
Fang Ning ignored the System. What Long Fan was about to say was definitely important in the grand sche of things.
Fang Ning said, “This could be the Truth Departnt’s secret. You wouldn’t run into troubles just by telling this, would you?”
Long Fan shook its head and said, “Oh, it’s nothing, I heard they will release that update into beta within three months. Both of you were associates of triple-A grade, the information can be released to you much earlier.”
Fang Ning was relieved, ‘It looks like Harmony Powers Limited has a much higher value than I thought, I should ask Zheng Dao to manage it better…’
He nodded and said, “If that’s the case, please tell more. I’m interested.”
Long Fan started talking describing what he had heard from the others.
Fang Ning’s jaw dropped, ‘What’s the biggest advantage of utilizing chs?’
‘It was the industrialization and the mass production of them. They will not fear death, and they can be easily replaced as long as the resources can keep up.’
‘Spiritually-controlled chs can be remotely controlled, and they can employ the military formations that hold enormous power.’
Fang Ning was deep in his thoughts, “Looks like there’s a prodigy in the Think Tank group who had huge ambitions. They left so places for non-cultivators and the weaker ones so they could avoid being used by those with power in the future.”
“With the spiritually-controlled chs, normal people could still beco an important part in combat. No wonder the Truth Departnt would want to spread the Basic Cultivation of the Spirit. It’s so that normal people could have a place to belong in the future.”
Long Fan did not think of it initially, but it was impressed after listening to Fang Ning’s analysis, “Brother White Dragon, you really know a lot. I only thought it was fun, but you’d understand the plan imdiately. I can’t compare myself to you, maybe I’ll be your wingman or sothing.”
Fang Ning waved his claw and said, “You’re giving too little credit to yourself. Let’s talk on QQ soon, you need to tell their progress, I’ll definitely let you in on good things.”
Long Fan said imdiately, “You’re welco, whatever I hear, I will tell you pronto.”
Both of them were talking until the sky darkened, if it were not for the System’s urging, the two would have talked until midnight.
At last, both of them said their goodbyes and agreed to continue chatting online after they have returned to the main world.
As Fang Ning stared at Long Fan’s leaving silhouette, the System said coldly, “It wouldn’t matter if you promised anyway, did you forget? Anderson said Long Fan should have a Soul Labyrinth set in it. It wouldn’t rember whatever happens in the Land of Heritage.”
Fang Ning grinned, “You silly, you think I’ll forget that? Since the Indians are in here, and we are in here, primary scouts like Long Fan will definitely have so of the restrictions removed, so it will definitely rember our promise.”
The System, “…”
Fang Ning sighed, “You always respond with just ellipses whenever you have no cobacks. I better cut you so slack.”
The System said, “It’s not that. Sothing happened, look at the System Map.”
Fang Ning’s heart skipped a beat. Sir System would never lie about this.
He flicked open the System Map and his expression turned into one of surprise.
“What a sly demon. It’s not like the bosses developed for gas, it didn’t consider the player’s intelligence at all,” muttered Fang Ning.
He glanced out the window, the sky had already darkened considerably.
Fang Ning knew one of the Truth Departnt’s main scouting procedures was to utilize drones to patrol.
However, in darkness and with the cover of the woods, that effect would be minimized.
If Long Fan did not help them to reveal the map, the Truth Departnt would have suffered a huge loss.
At this ti, there was a pile of dark red-colored spots each on the walled city’s east, west, and south sides.
The walled city had been surrounded on three sides.
Fang Ning recognized the spots on the east, those were the mutated Blood Porcupine demons.
Obviously, the cunning king cobra did not just lay low in the past two days, it threatened more of those beasts to help it out.
Fang Ning said anxiously, “That’s bad, really bad. We need to inform Elder Hai. Dangit, not only is the king cobra strong, it can also control so many powerful minions. We need to think of sothing to get to it first.”
The System stopped him, “No, don’t. Host, don’t think of anything to kill the king cobra now… I have to say, your plan earlier was really, really aweso that it could make this situation happen. I’m not desperate to kill the big bad king cobra…”
Fang Ning could not make sense of it for a mont before it clicked, “Damn, you’re such a shrewd when it cos to fighting monsters. You’re just trying to create a permanent farming spot with free underlings aren’t you?”
The System said, “Hey Host, you’re becoming smarter and smarter. Help finish this plan. Right now it’s just a silhouette of a farming spot, it might not work.”
Fang Ning said, “It’s going to be very draining, I’ll be tired.”
The System replied, “If you can do it I’ll give you a hundred million…”
Fang Ning said, “Don’t worry, just count on . The people from the Truth Departnt will definitely agree to this. When I am done, it will be as advantageous to them as this is to us. It’s good as long as it’s a win-win.”
