Fang Ning heard it but chose to not reply. Instead, he allowed his beloved ga book to show his opponent’s details.
[Shen Xingchen. Sex: Male, Hobbies: Training to beco stronger, Age: 19. Identity: Disciple from Shen Family of Ji City.]
[Alignnt: Neutral.]
[Power level: Mug-level Powerhouse. Description: Looks like a teacup, with slightly better cultivation proficiency.]
Fang Ning read it and shook his head. He walked straight past Shen Xingchen and entered the main door to the farm.
Brett Black Dog wagged its tail and followed Vigilante A without batting an eye on Shen Xingchen.
Shen Xingchen tightened his fists in secret as he was ignored by a man and a Dog at the sa ti. When they were a distance away, he kneeled again and yelled, “Great Hero, please take as your disciple, or I will kneel here forever!”
Fang Ning wasn’t interested in him as he entered the farm and walked towards the villa.
Even after a month without visits, the interior of the farm remained unchanged. It looked like there were a few snowy days recently, as so spots were still covered with a thin layer of snow that had yet to lt.
Butler Zheng and Yellow Dog walked out from afar.
Zheng Dao looked apologetic, “I am sorry, Venerable One, I was just training with Brother Xue in my free ti and we ended later. Forgive for coming out late.”
Black Dog heard it and seed to feel ashad as he withdrew his head.
Fang Ning waved his hand, “Butler Zheng, don’t need to be polite. That guy outside, try to find a way to get him to leave. Next ti if every Tom, Dick, and Harry cos to get to tutor them, this place won’t ever be peaceful anymore.”
Zheng Dao nodded, “Previously when the Venerable One wasn’t around and uncontactable, I tried to get him to wait inside, but he refused to, so I didn’t chase him away. If that is the case, I will go and ask him to leave. If the Venerable One desires to be sowhere quiet, I will contact the Truth Departnt. Ding Xiang ntioned before that place has a few hiding formations.”
Fang Ning nodded. If that was so, he wouldn’t need to think about moving. He hated moving to a new place…
Fang Ning sat in the living room and drank a cup of tea before asking Yellow Dog’s progress in his Atmospheric Morality Technique training. So long as he was using the identity of Vigilante A, he would need to do what was needed of him.
Yellow Dog beca full of self-confidence and explained his training progress. It was hard to bla him. He was approved by the System, so it was natural for him to feel self-assured.
Fang Ning saw the System notification, [Follower Yellow Dog Xue Ba has progressed well with his training of Atmospheric Morality Technique, learned a beginner skill “Righteousness”.]
Unfortunately, Brett the Black Dog surely hadn’t learned anything, if not the System should have notified him. Zheng Dao had a lot of issues to handle so it was normal for him to progress slower, but it wouldn’t be long until he reached the sa level.
Yellow Dog finished his report, and it was now Black Dog’s turn. However, he looked down at the ground and didn’t say anything.
“Brett, this is not going to work if you continue this way. I will give you ten more days. If you still can’t learn it then you will have to deal with the consequences.”
Fang Ning told Brett seriously, completely forgetting the fact that he, too, had yet to learn it…
He only knew that ten days later, when the System finished its training in isolation, it would surely ask what Brett had been doing for the past month or so.
The System would not be as kind as he was. It would do well to not assu that the System was sothing that ca and went randomly and looked as if it were easy to handle. That impression only stems from the fact that Fang Ning and he were from the sa body, thus the System couldn’t do much to him other than locking him in the black room.
It would be different to the others, though. The truth was the System was a cold-blooded master that killed without hesitation…
Black Dog felt dejected and looked like he had lost everything in the world.
Xue Ba the Yellow Dog didn’t take the chance to put down Black Dog like how he usually would. He was acting like a gentleman.
He tried to help. “Venerable One, Brett has been trying many tis. Unfortunately, he is not the most talented when it cos to studying. When I try to teach he will turn lazy and sleepy, sotis making so low-class jokes, and he has yet to overco those obstacles. I hope the Venerable One can give him extra ti.”
Black Dog Brett turned and gave him a look, “Why do I get the feeling that you’re taking the chance to fra instead of helping here? You’re openly trying to beat down, aren’t you afraid of halting your morality training progress?”
Yellow Dog Xue Ba looked back at him and said, “My righteousness is active right now. I am telling the truth, and everything I said was for your own good.”
The truth always hurts, and the term “trying to help you” was the most dreadful…
Black Dog turned mute that instant and had a stunned expression.
Fang Ning was indirectly hit by his words and thought, “Oh. The reason I can’t master the Atmospheric Morality Technique is the sa as Black Dog. I, too, have the sa problem with low-class entertainnt, and I’d feel sleepy when I see how thick the Atmospheric Morality Technique book is…”
He avoided continuing such awkward conversation and waved his hand, “We will talk about this later. Recently I managed to kill a major demon. Later, the Truth Departnt will award with a huge reward. Yellow Dog also managed to progress well in his training, so we should celebrate all of this together. Tonight, we shall have a huge feast.”
Black Dog Brett heard him and started drooling. But when he looked at Yellow Dog, Yellow Dog was sitting straight, and he felt that the differences between them were getting larger…
Shortly after, butler Zheng entered the main hall and gave Fang Ning a fist salute, “Venerable One, the youngster has left.”
Fang Ning was amazed. The guy was insisting on reaching his own goal and was threatening to kneel forever. He was becoming a headache, but Zheng Dao managed to send him off easily. He understood that every job had its own specialty.
Zheng Dao always one that always had the attention for minor details. When he saw the look on the Venerable Dragon God, he didn’t wait for him to ask, and instead started explaining imdiately, “I just told the youngster that the Mount Indigo Monastery to the north is currently opening their doors and accepting talented students. The leader of the monastery, Master Ma, is much stronger compared to our Venerable One, and he greatly welcos all talented people from across the earth. When he heard , he hesitated, before standing up and then leaving. If my words sound exaggerated and offensive, I hope you can forgive .”
Fang Ning waved and said, “No worries, seems like after the previous incident, your psionic ability has improved greatly. With just a single sentence you made him believe you.”
Zheng Dao replied humbly, “You exaggerate, Venerable One. This was all thanks to you asking brother Xue to teach about the Atmospheric Morality Technique. After my training, my psionic ability also improved greatly, and I was filled with righteousness. Whatever I say will beco convincing naturally.”
Fang Ning nodded. He rembered what Anderson had said; all superpowers were just a physical manifestation of one’s innate talents.
Zheng Dao’s psionic ability ant that he was talented in training techniques related to temperant. The Atmospheric Morality Technique was, coincidentally, a technique that required great temperant.
If Zheng Dao managed to master the Atmospheric Morality Technique, he might reach an unimaginable level.
When he thought of this, Fang Ning asked, “I t Master Ma personally, and I know he’s skillful, but he is definitely weaker than I am. If you say such lies to him, will it affect your progress in mastering the Atmospheric Morality Technique?”
Zheng Dao smiled and replied, “Thank you for caring, Venerable One. Since you had already decided, then letting him stay here will only waste his own ti. I used those words to get him to move to sowhere else, and it all originated from my righteousness. All this will only help in my training and will have no negative effect. As for Master Ma, his is wise and ambitious. If he is to take Shen Xingchen as his disciple, he will for sure tutor him patiently and make him a great man.”
Fang Ning nodded before shaking his head and sighing. “Shen Xingchen. He has the required proficiency and temperant for cultivating. Unfortunately, he loves fa and fortune. I have many issues to handle so I won’t have the ti to tutor him as well. This will be a good alternative for him.”
Zheng Dao nodded in agreent. He had no idea if the System master really had so major issues to handle, but for Fang Ning, his biggest issue was to play video gas and read novels in peace. Where would he have the ti to teach his disciple…
Fang Ning felt satisfied acting like a boss and comnting on the youngsters. However, he felt that the audience was too little; only one man and two dogs to be exact.
At that mont, he completely forgot whether or not he had the qualification to do so. At least Seng Xingchen was described in detail by the gabook about his ability. He was barely ntioned at all. The gabook gave him a “…” comnt just to save his pride.
The reason he could comnt on him was that Sir System was acting as his backbone.
This was like a Fox assuming a Tiger’s authority. 1
Zheng Dao suddenly ntioned, “Venerable One, two days ago, Zhao Xiangwen, the president of Xingsheng Group from Qi City, called to inform that the first batch of trial vitality dicine has already matured. They’re planning to hold a ceremony for harvest to increase publicity.”
“He said if you want to get involved, I am to inform him, and he will co personally to invite you. By then many famous people from various places will be in Qi City. If the Venerable One can go and comnt on the quality live, the dicine’s sales will surely skyrocket in the future.”
Fang Ning heard that and felt troubleso. He hated attending crowded events. Previously he was forced to do so by Sir System. Besides, if president Zhao was the one saying it, it ant that the event will be even bigger than previous tis, even famous people would be coming…
As he was just thinking about Sir System, the System started talking.
The System said, “You have to go. I’ll give you ten days for you to do anything, but not just to just enjoy yourself. You will need to do sothing beneficial. Besides, without these cheap herbs, I won’t be able to make cheap pills. And without those cheap pills, how are you going to earn money from your gas, and without money, you will never play gas comfortably…”
Fang Ning replied helplessly, “Okay okay, I’ll go. I don’t need you to lecture . Both my identities are shareholders of the company that planted the vitality dicine, I have a third of the shares combined. I’ll work harder, even if the money that I earn doesn’t belong to …”
System, “It is good that you understand. When the ti cos for you to judge the quality of the herbs, just tell . I have so really good comnts in mind.”
Fang Ning replied, “Just keep a low profile. Don’t make your act too obvious…”
When Fang Ning ntioned the word “act”, it got excited. The number of audience mbers wouldn’t even matter. By then, who could be stronger than Vigilante A? When the ti cos, he could just continue his act…
The two n and dogs gossiped for a mont more before each left for their respective places.
Fang Ning didn’t have the mood to play gas, so he decided to take a walk on the farm to relax.
Green pine, cypresses, and other evergreen trees were planted at both sides of the roads. Even when the weather was cold, the whole farm still looked lively.
In the distance by the roadside, he saw a worker taking his ti trimming those trees.
He sighed. He ca to a realization that regardless of what era it was, large amounts of human resources were still required for things to work. This idea would never change.
He pondered for a mont before walking towards the worker.
The fellow was in his forties and had an honest look about him. He was wearing a pair of gloves and trimming those wilted branches with big scissors.
“Hey there, sir, how should I call you?”
The worker heard him and stopped his work. He smiled and replied, “Boss, I am no sir. My na is Luo Xingrong. I am a gardener for the Xingsheng Group.”
Fang Ning understood clearly that president Zhao always made sure things were well organized. When he gifted Vigilante A a farm and a villa, he also took out a small group from his company to manage the water and electricity of this property, as well as hiring people for maintenance.
With this small group, Vigilante A wouldn’t be required to handle tiny issues, and butler Zheng wouldn’t need to worry too much and instead only focus on the usage of the farm and the villa.
Vigilante A was so full of pride to the outside world, but behind him was a group of normal people working tirelessly for him. Without them, he would be dragged away by multiple small problems…
Fang Ning thought about it and asked, “Since Mister Luo works here, you must have t two dogs that can speak human language. Were you afraid of them?”
Luo Xingrong wiped his hands and replied, “Before I was sent here to work, the company already gave different kinds of training. The salary here is twice the pay of other places, so I was ready for anything. But this is a whole new era. Finding a tutor for personal training, the appearance of animal sapience, these are so of the most trending news around.”
“The cat my daughter has has also learned to talk. It’s actually beneficial for it to learn to speak human language, because it can help with many things and longer just eat for free. But the cat also gained a bad temper, and it no longer entertains when we feed it leftovers.”
Fang Ning nodded. Humans always had stronger adaptability. Those from Central China were also the best at this; so long as they had food on their table and lived a peaceful life, they could settle down easily.
Vigilante A was always living above the others and isolated himself in the System Space. His only interaction with the society was through the internet and net forums, and he never really talked to normal people in the world or interacted with a lower level in the society. This was a ti for him to regain what he had lost.
If he didn’t understand the situation present in society, his position as a leader would not stay for long. He could be potentially swept aside by another more experienced Sir System. He was a System that could play the ga of words…
