Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After much thinking, Fang Ning was still puzzled. He wondered for a long time, “This shouldn’t be it. Logically, if Master Cang wanted to be the System’s follower, it only needs to have that thought. From what he said, it’s clear that it wants to follow us to serve justice, so it should be able to fulfill the Maxim’s request. It doesn’t need to vow loyalty in words, just like how the yellow dog didn’t even say a word back then…”
As he thought about that, Fang Ning recalled something and became speechless, “Sir System, you’re asking me to ‘come up with an idea’, but you should be dealing with this yourself.”
The System sounded confused as it said, “Host, what are you talking about, I don’t understand.”
Fang Ning snapped. “The amount of followers is being limited. The current limit is 3… Zheng Dao, Xue Ba the yellow dog, and Brett the black dog, can you count how many are there?”
The System had a sudden realization, “Oh, I see that’s the case. I’ve forgotten about having a follower limit. Now I know what to do.”
[The System consumed 600,000 experience points, and leveled up from level 16 to level 17. The System’s health points and vital energy has been increased, the System gained a Luck Attribute Point]
…
[The System consumed 1,000,000 experience points, and leveled up from level 19 to level 20. The System’s health points and vital energy has been increased, the System gained an Attribute Point on Luck.]
[The System currently has 11 Luck Attribute points, advancing from 10 points, Good Luck skill acquired, Crit Rate and loot increased, mysterious effect attained.]
[For every five grades of the System’s Aggro Bar, it has increased by 1, the current count is 5, due to the effect of Aggro Bracelet, the total number of Aggro Bars is 15.]
[For every ten grades of the System’s follower quota, it has increased by 1, the current limit is 4.]
[‘Cang’, the descendant of Greater Rat King Clan is willing to serve justice with the System, its qualification is far beyond the lowest requirement, it became the System’s follower. The current follower count is 4, the follower limit is 4.]
After looking at the System Notification, Fang Ning took a deep breath of relief, “As expected, this is the reason, so much for all the imaginings, what’s with being ‘self-restrained’ or not, the Maxim setting doesn’t bother about it. But how could you forget about something like that? Are you lying to me? Either you’re a fake System, or you’re plotting an evil scheme…”
The System sounded very wronged. “I really forgot… You clearly saw Master Cang’s information and guessed that its Alignment is ‘Righteous’, up until now, we’ve only met Qiao Zishan and Bodhisattva Spirit King who can’t be our followers. If it becomes our follower, it can learn the Atmospheric Morality Technique, and it’ll be able to learn the rudimentary lessons immediately and advance rapidly, then our Backup Morality Bar will be increased greatly. I was too elated to have met a Revered Treasure like it, so I forgot about the follower count limit.”
When Fang Ning heard, he felt that this idiot was probably capable of doing something like that, after all, it experienced quite a number of bugs before. For example, an idiotic matter like prying one of its brother’s components open as its own backup.
He said in doubt, “Have I misunderstood you then? Ultimately, you’re a System that was manifested from a single-machine video game, you’re only half a year old you’re still not developed, it’s rather normal for you so have such bugs.”
The System said, “You must have misunderstood me… Oh, right, I keep my promises, I’ll give you two extra days of break.”
As soon as Fang Ning heard that he would have a break, he could not be bothered arguing with that idiot anymore. More importantly, he would not get anything out of it anyway…
Hence, he said, “Forget it, I’m not going to argue with you. Since this fellow has become your follower, give me the Atmospheric Morality Technique so that it can take a look at the boss’ culture.
The System said, “It’ll definitely leave it in awe.”
…
When Master Cang noticed that Vigilante A had been quiet for quite some time, it started feeling a little uneasy.
It wondered, “Did I offend him by saying that I can give him reminders in case he experiences danger again? Maybe he thinks that I’ve underestimated the True Dragon’s ability…’
Not long after, while it had its own musings in its head, a thick book suddenly appeared beside it on the table it was on.
Then it heard a gentle voice saying, “After our meeting today, I noticed that we’re exceptionally fated, Master Cang… this Atmospheric Morality Technique has been secretly transmitted in the Dragon Family, based on your words and acts, I can tell that you’re a gentleman, so I’d like to pass it on to you. I’ve only ever awarded this to trustworthy beings, and I hope that you’ll finish reading it on the spot. Master Cang, you must not divulge this secret, lest other beings covet it.”
Upon hearing that, Master Cang was completely in awe. Without even flipping the book open, it knew that for someone like him to say such words, it must indeed be a supreme technique.
It thought, “How could an ordinary person acquire such teachings? I can’t believe it. I’ve always received criticism from my clan for walking the path of righteousness, yet I’m completely accepted over here. Sure enough, the Venerable Dragon God and I belong in the same category. I’ve made a worthy choice to overcome my sleepy character to serve justice with him in the future…”
At that very moment, he sounded extremely grateful, “Venerable One, what have I ever done to deserve your love..”
In short, its words were all similar, Fang Ning was very speechless from it, “This master is really being too self-restrained, clearly it is very grateful, yet other than sounding so sincere, it doesn’t vow loyalty or bow down to me.
“It’s just not as frank as the yellow and black dogs, so much for finding the crucial reason after much complications…”
While Fang Ning was silently cursing, Master Cang had finally listened to Fang Ning, and activated its spiritual sense to read the Atmospheric Morality Technique.
[‘Cang’ the descendant of Greater Rat King Clan gained the supreme technique, it established its personal way of cultivation and is extremely grateful towards the System, it decided to entrust his life and follow the System to serve justice.]
[Resonation has occurred between ‘Cang’ and the world, it comprehended the Atmospheric Morality Rule and has progressed in its cultivation level, advancing to Pond-level.]
[‘Cang’ learnt the Atmospheric Morality Technique, currently at Beginner-level, it has attained the Morality Envelopment skill and provided two backup Morality Bars.]
Fang Ning was both surprised and in joy, “This fellow is truly a Revered Treasure, how long has it been reading? It’s true that we left it in awe, but it had left us in awe too. It had made such progress by reading the book, we’ve just gained a Pond-level follower.”
The System said, “Right, the potential and qualification of this fellow is much greater, it is much stronger than Qiao Zishan, since it was born a demon royalty.”
Fang Ning nodded and said, “Yes, now that I think about it, when the black and yellow dogs regain their strength, we have five absolutely reliable Pond-level experts in addition to the Pond-level gigantic eagle. In terms of strength, we’re definitely the pre-eminent in China. Although Truth Department has six disregarding Qiao Anping who is too old and their trump card, based on individual fighting will, they’re not as strong as us. I can’t believe that unknowingly, we’ve become very awesome…”
The System said, “If you can cultivate and become a Pond-level expert too, we’ll have six, then we’ll be even more awesome…”
Fang Ning looked indifferent as he said, “Since we share a body, even if I’m not awesome, it will do if you are. You only need to consume experience points to level up your strength anyway, who can be faster than you? My main responsibility is to gain experience points for you, this is much more cost-effective.”
The System said, “You’re coaxing me again… Then, watch over this hamster until it finishes learning, let it teach you too…”
Fang Ning said helplessly, “This is quite troublesome, I’ve noticed that its cultivation base is closely related to its temperament and habits, you’re clueless about this anyway. I can’t be taught, or else, why can’t the black dog learn its stuff too? Don’t bother with me, I’ll practice something else first.”
The System said, “Your training efficiency is so low… But speaking of which, how about you come up with an idea for the black and yellow dogs to regain their powers as soon as possible. I have a Combined Skill now, if they can be my helpers, it’ll be much more effective for me to farm spots again.”
Fang Ning wondered, since his strength has greatly improved, not only was he full of pride and felt like he wanted to set the world right, he was highly motivated as well, so he had an idea, “This is simple, their strengths are similar to the Elder Ancestor as they’re all at Pond-level. I’ll ask Zheng Dao to inform the Truth Department to allow them to cultivate in the Land of Heritage. The vitality is very rich there so it’ll be very quick, they’ll regain their strength without needing to break through again, and they won’t be influenced by an Inner Demon too. I’m sure that they’ll accept my request since we’ve done such a meritorious service.”
The System said, “Very well, quickly proceed.”
Fang Ning did not delay at all. He left Master Cang to read the book itself, then spoke to Zheng Dao.
Naturally, Zheng Dao did not hesitate. He immediately contacted Truth Department, and they gave a prompt reply as well. As expected, they agreed to it and permitted the Venerable Dragon God to send a few of them over to cultivate, they only requested that he would not send too many at once.
