With the System seizing him, Fang Ning could be hedonistic and play without restraints.
However, other people did not have it as easy. Using ‘up to their ears in work’ to describe them was not an exaggeration at all.
In China, at the mountain villas in the southern part of Qi City.
William returned to his familiar home and breathed out a sigh of relief. He was just about to call his sweethearts to have another party to relax when his uncle called.
“I heard that you found Jill’s soul? You still want to revive her?” Robert’s face was solemn.
“Oh, Uncle, aren’t you a little too well informed?” William was shocked and gingerly put down the phone.
“Ah, I met with the Venerable Dragon God on the way here. He told me telepathically to tell you that Jill’s soul will take another six months at least to warm up before she can recover.” Robert said calmly.
“Hm, in other words, after six months, I can be completely at ease…” William mused.
“What?” Robert could not believe his own ears and was very puzzled, “Judging by your words, even if she’s revived, you’ll still be as depraved as you are now and won’t make any effort to get stronger?”
“Uncle, why did you think so?” William questioned.
“I was too naive. I thought that if she came back, you would pull yourself together. Don’t novels and movies use this plot all the time?” Robert was greatly disappointed.
“Well, you said it yourself. Those happen in novels, not in reality. I admit that her death had something to do with me. After all, if I had been a Pond-level master at that time, I should have been able to save her from that sudden and mysterious incident. I felt terrible then, but in retrospect, that’s all there is to it.” William sighed, seemingly lost in distant memories.
Robert took the opportunity to advise, “That’s right. Think about it, when she’s revived, how will you protect her if she encounters even more dangerous matters if you don’t improve your strength?”
“Haha.” William laughed and shook his head, “One of the greatest advances of mankind is the development of productive capability, which brings about division of labor and cooperation. I believe that this will not change even after transitioning to the extraordinary era. Everyone has different natural traits and hobbies. I believe I have a higher natural trait in business compared to cultivation. Besides, isn’t there a magical energy bank now? You should have quite a lot of inventory there. When there is more, I’ll start buying.”
“Alright, alright, you don’t have to say anything more. I still have to keep those inventory to loan them out, so I can’t let the clients sell to you for now.” Robert waved his hand at his nephew, gestured for him to keep quiet, and left bitterly.
‘He’s really useless, but the best thing about this brat is that he values affection.
‘Before, no matter what I said, he never wanted to go to any arcane realms, but he finally became willing to risk himself for the sake of that woman that he almost forgot, in order to revive her.’
He had thought that that woman was the boy’s true love, and could make him change.
However, the feelings were not that deep after all. ‘It makes sense, how could that playboy love one person alone?’
Robert finally gave up hope completely. He considered, and decided to take the earliest flight to a small island in the American Caribbean Sea.
The newly opened magical energy bank saw its business growing by the day. It had to receive a large number of customers daily.
Among them, there were quite a few people who used to do nothing and beg for a living.
Those vagrants and unemployed people had started to cultivate the mainstream Nine Transformation Golden Core Technique. This technique had already been translated into various languages, such as English, Spanish, French, German, and so on.
It was not that they had suddenly become diligent, but that under the crisis of life and death, people would instinctively grasp any straw they could.
The curtain had long lifted on the Era of Vitality, and crises occurred again and again. It was impossible to live like before where they could eat their fill and pass their days in peace.
Without the ability to defend themselves, even a bite from a variated ant might be fatal if their constitution was not strong.
These accidental injuries were beyond the Venerable Dragon God’s control.
Thinking about this expert, Robert deeply sighed on the plane.
People really were different from one another.
Everyone knew that the Venerable Dragon God’s strength was high, and even more so about his diligence and hard work in his cultivation path. It was absolutely unparalleled; he was number one.
He even reduced the frequency of his meals to once a year. After eating once, he would work for a year.
Sleep did not even have to be mentioned. No one had seen him truly sleep before…
He fought for justice every day and took the pains to catch petty thieves. This was all cultivation. It was the hardship of taking up the Path of Heavenly Punishment.
It might be interesting to catch it once, but to do it every day, every minute, and every second? How many people would be able to stand it?
It was much more difficult than simply cultivating by meditating and taking pills to conduct one’s power.
It seemed that cultivating this path would allow one’s strength to improve rapidly, but the truth was that there were also huge risks. When doing things, one had to be restricted by the Heavenly Axiom. Unlike ordinary cultivators, one could not run away from a fight they could not win, concede defeat, or even collude with others.
It was said that the other party had met with five Arhats from the Upper Realm. If they responded with bias, they might have been suppressed by him.
After flying for more than ten hours, Robert finally landed on the new temporary airport on the island.
The airline on this island offered direct flights from all places. It was specially designed to receive big customers who came to the magical energy bank to do business. Only Pond-level masters and above were eligible to take it.
China had one, Europe had one, and even Africa had one.
Compared to the original Magical Provenance in China, this one run by Robert had high flexibility, avoided all supervision, and could keep confidential customer information. There were also numerous business patterns and constant offers to greatly meet the needs of various customers.
Compared to the Whitestone people who only knew of rigid management, he was the pupil that already surpassed the master. His reputation far exceeded the former.
Only the top cultivators recognized the former’s reputation more. After all, they did not care about a little benefit and put more value on stability and security.
It was not just a few financial tycoons that ran away with money or went bankrupt. If their painstakingly cultivated magical energy was swept away by someone and never returned, the loss was not a matter of money, but life…
For the Venerable Dragon God, no matter if it was his character or reputation, he was highly trustworthy.
Therefore, most masters above Pond-level still chose to open an account at the Magical Provenance in Qi City. Only the experts that could not see the light would choose to open an account at the Carribean island.
Robert got off the plane and arrived at the back door of the magical energy bank.
Then, a beauty in business attire came to greet him and ushered him into the manager’s office.
“David, you’re now the general manager of the magical energy bank, and you manage more than billions of magical energy points. You’ll really make people green with envy. How could you travel without bodyguards?” The beauty asked in concern.
“Haha, as long as I’m still on Earth, I don’t have to worry about that…” Robert spoke halfway and suddenly broke out in cold sweat. Then, he hurriedly nodded to the beauty, “Lina, your reminder is too timely. We should hire some excellent bodyguards. After all, I’m no longer that ordinary retired agent anymore.
He suddenly recalled that the Venerable Dragon God was currently not on Earth… and would not be for a while. Fortunately, those evil disciples did not come out to take advantage of it and cause trouble. They were probably scared that they would be baited like before.
Lina smiled and seemed very happy, and said, “Then, I’ll look for some powerhouses. However, they demand a lot and aren’t very good to employ.”
“Hm, then use magical energy points as their salary. They don’t lack money, but I believe that no one would reject this.” Robert said confidently.
The loaning business started up recently and saw extremely high profits. He had invested in dozens of talents to help them make breakthroughs and recovered several times the investment cost.
This was the advantage of having a monopoly. The interest rate was up to him. The bank in China only offered magical power deposits and did not offer any loaning businesses. A certain fee would also have to be deducted when depositing. It was the earliest banking model.
