Chapter 187: A Mosquito’s Flesh is Still Flesh

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Fang Ning discovered a new usage for his beloved game book, and he felt exceedingly pleased about it.

Now that there were people in hell providing anger, during battles, he basically just watched from the sidelines. Now that his beloved game book had this automatic smashing ability, he could brush up on his presence. He wouldn’t have to hear the System nag that he was the type who only knew how to clap and shout ‘you’re great!’.

Just as he was about to put down the book, he thought of the mission module above. His heart wavered, and he reached out to open and see.

[Mission 1, Weaker Than None: Prolonged mission line, find the strongest creature in current realm every season for the System’s comparison purposes. Repeatable mission reward: 1,000,000 in cash. Remark: Mission has been completed 1 time. Last strongest creature: Soul Consumption Demon Anderson. Mission has been renewed.]

[Mission 2, Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing…]

The System asked, “Host, you want to tun in the mission?”

Fang Ning replied, “Yes.”

The System said, “Why are you still so concerned over that little sum of money after becoming a multi-millionaire… How about I cancel the mission reward?”

Fang Ning laughed, “No matter how small the amount, I earned that money legally. Even if you wanted to cancel it, it would be impossible. My beloved game book won’t listen to you. Honey, your master chooses to turn in Mission 1. The strongest creature will be that ‘Aachman’.”

System Notification: [Starting high-level game book mission module. Beginning to assess Host’s completion condition for Mission 1.]

[Mission 1, Weaker Than None.]

[Mission module is evaluating…]

[Mission module is evaluating…]

[Mission module finished unsuccessfully for Mission 1. Strongest creature in current realm this season is not ‘Aachman’. Please try again.]

Fang Ning was struck into a daze, “What? Babe, did you judge wrongly? That thing is Lake-level, and it’s still not the strongest?”

The System sighed, “Ey, this stupid book… Ah, no, this beautiful, precious game book. You’re really created by me. You’re as upright as I am, you won’t mess around when it comes to important stuff.”

Fang Ning could not be bothered to bicker with the System. He did not blame his beloved game book either, and just said in puzzlement, “That shouldn’t be, the previous season, it was still that Pond-level Anderson who was the strongest. Could it be that besides that Aachman, there is still another Lake-level Powerhouse which descended to the Earth?”

The System said, “I don’t know. I only know your mission failed, Host… You won’t be able to take away a single cent from me.”

Fang Ning pondered, “I get it now. There’s no such coincidence in this world. I’ll report it again, the strongest creature is Azure Mountain’s ‘Gu Buwei’.”

System Notification: [Mission 1, Weaker Than None.]

[Mission module is evaluating…]

[Mission module recognized that Host successfully completed Mission 1. Strongest creature in current realm this season is ‘Gu Buwei’. Congratulations, Host. 1,000,000 in cash has been transferred in real-time.]

[Your personal bank account has received 1,000,000 cash.]

The System said, “Damn it, I got beaten by you. My one million flew away just like that… How did you manage to guess it?”

Fang Ning pressed a smooch onto his beloved game book and said helplessly, “The last notice the Truth Department sent included the details of those two people’s identity, remember? Also, Sir System, you’re missing the point… You should be thinking, since those fellas are so strong, you should be trying to emulate them to improve yourself, not stare at that one million cash.”

The System replied, “Why should I be afraid of him? Even if he is Lake-level, right now I have Master-level Dragonization Ability. I can transform into a dragon whenever I wish, and there’s nothing he can do about it… As for you, my multi-millionaire Host. You’re going to strike gold soon, so stop staring at these little mosquitoes.”

Hearing this, Fang Ning felt relieved. He had been actually worried that the System was scared.

He later refuted, “Mosquito flesh is still flesh. Didn’t you know? The great master Lu Xun said before ‘The more you refuse to relax, the more money you will get’. I need to follow in the footsteps of my predecessors before I can truly become a multi-millionaire… Besides, your martial arts aren’t worth enough money. The both of us are co-existing in one body, how can I not lend any money to you?”

The System said, “Oh, looks like the multi-millionaire was joking the last time. In that case, feel free to do missions from now on…”

When Fang Ning finished talking, he received news from Zheng Dao on his QQ app.

He opened it up to see and muttered, “As long as you’re aware… Right, the Truth Department just sent us a notice saying your remuneration is ready. There are too many materials, so long-distance transportation will be too dangerous. As someone from the Dragon clan, you have rarely seen large capacity Interspatial Equipment. They are requesting you personally ensure their safety. I’ll recite the list to you now.”

The System said, “It’s about time… Don’t have to trouble yourself to say it, Mr. Multi-Millionaire, I’ll read it myself.”

Fang Ning listened, ‘how impatient…’

He opened it himself to look, and saw that Zheng Dao only counted a total of four items. The largest set was materials to refine flying swords, various materials in large amounts. There was fine iron, morning sand, sinking star wood, verdant cloud stones and more.

He could not understand at all, and felt his head start to hurt. If these ended up being shoddy products passed off as quality materials, it would be better not to remind Sir System.

The second one was from Qiao Zijiang, who bought five ‘Soul Strengthening Pills’ from the Venerable Dragon God worth 500 million in cash. As expected of the Truth Department’s full reimbursement, they sent the money to the Venerable Dragon God’s account by posing it as an official reward.

The third set was small but extremely valuable. It was something sent personally from Qiao Anping, everything was top-quality medicinal materials for concentration and healing.

For the last set, its volume was definitely not little, but instead compared to the other three, it seemed like it was deliberately stuffed with items to make it look packed; it included the payment for the ‘Face Rejuvenating Pills’ which Ren Ruofeng bought the previous time, 3,000,000 in cash plus ten extra sets of medicinal materials.

There was even a message from Qiao Zijiang attached behind, saying that the set from her uncle was something selected from his quota, and should have been personally sent over long ago. However, because the other party was too lazy to receive it time and time again, it remained stored at the Truth Department’s specialized warehouse. In the end, during the last great battle in the Land of Heritage, it was misappropriated by some people to be used for alchemy…

It was only until today that it was brought together and he was remunerated along with the other rewards, he hoped the Venerable One would forgive Yun Yun…

The System said, “Hey, your playing weak plan is quite good. We even received medicine and condolences from others…”

Fang Ning was speechless, “Don’t you feel that this is nothing different from deceiving others? Aren’t you afraid that your Righteous attribute will fall?”

The System said, “During the last great battle, that Qiao Anping benefited a lot from following me around. When he finishes cultivating his soul, I reckon his murderous intent techniques will greatly advance and become one step closer to Lake-level. I’ll just take these little things as him repaying me back.

Fang Ning nodded his head, “As expected, as long as it is something that benefits you, you will always be able to find a righteous reason to swallow it down…”

The System said, “Oh, my multi-millionaire Host, you understand me quite well now… I’ll fly over there immediately to take delivery.”

Immediately after speaking, Vigilante A jumped out of the window of the bedroom. A long, green dragon soundlessly weaved above the clouds and flew towards the north.

Association of Spirit Kings Southern Headquarters, located in the Xiang Province Spirit Valley.

The landscape here was idyllic with beautiful caves. Twenty years ago, this place was a well-known tourist attraction. Although it could not be compared with those famous mountains and large rivers, it did bring quite a lot of tourism income to the local area.

However, afterward, the vitality recovered. Seventeen years ago, Yin energy appeared in that land and permeated the entire area. The Truth Department investigated the problem, and then, working with the local Special Affairs Department and the administrative bodies at that time, they sealed off the mountain and trapped the Yin energy within. Besides a few brave monster hunters who went there to explore, the other tourists now remained far away from that place.

In the Spirit Valley below a cliff laid a deep and narrow cave. The outside of this cave was a plaque that read ‘Spirit King Cave’. The three words carried an imposing and majestic air with stern morality, which drew a stark difference with the Yin energy surrounding the area.

This was, in fact, the nominal Headquarters of the Association of Spirit Kings, and the place which was needed to be revealed to the Truth Department…

The inside was filled with bends and twists. The fog was heavy, and there were small forks in the path littered along its length. If an ordinary l person entered, he would have no way of getting his bearings. Only demons and monsters unobstructed by the lack of sight would be able to come and go freely. In addition, only the Elders of the Association of Spirit Kings would know how to navigate the area…

At this moment, outside the Spirit King Cave on a bluestone platform stood three people; two women and a man. They looked like they were waiting for someone.

Two of them were people Fang Ning was familiar with. One of the men was Xie Dong, one of the women was Qiao Zijiang, and the other was Azure Mountain’s Qi Mei.

Currently, Qi Mei’s face looked slightly annoyed, as if she had become restless from waiting.

Qiao Zijiang’s face was cheerful, and her smile was like an innocent child’s. She said to Qi Mei in a placating tone, “Elder Sister Qi, that Second Elder from the Association of Spirit Kings earlier already went in to call out their Law-Enforcement Spirit ‘Zhu Hongying’. They will come out very soon, we don’t have to worry.”

Qi Mei nodded her head, her expression becoming slightly better. “Hm, this place is chock full of Yin energy. I really don’t know how they can stay here. I’ve only been here for awhile and I already can’t stand it.”

Qiao Zijiang, with a face full of naivety, chatted with Qi Mei about the current fashion trends, food, and jewelry, all to distract Qi Mei’s from her complaints.

While they were chatting, Qiao Zijiang kept planning in her heart the task her Grandfather assigned to her. Or rather, what Captain Ren had.

After Captain Ren told her about the origins of this Qi Mei’s background, he urged again and again for her to watch out for Qi Mei. If necessary, she could use the Nets Above Snares Below. For the ‘Heavenly Snaring Celestial Punch’, Old Hag Hong had allowed her to use it with a maximum of three times.

After ten minutes, a man wearing a white mask appeared out of that unfathomably deep Spirit King Cave. This man was Gui Er, who Fang Ning met before. He managed to save himself from death at Vigilante A’s hands once before.

Behind Gui Er was a heroic woman holding a dazzling red gun. She was Zhu Hongying.

Behind that woman was a company of three, all men. The three men were all dismissed at a single glance, their attention was completely undiverted by that attractive and heroic young woman.

After seeing, Qi Mei’s eyes brightened, and she said, “What an amazing Law-Enforcement Spirit. She has the bearings of a Spirit King.”

At this moment, Gui Er did a hold fist salute, “This is Law-Enforcer Zhu of our Association of Spirit Kings. Can you tell us your purpose here now?”

Qi Mei said bluntly, “Ah, I am Qi Mei, a third generation disciple of Azure Mountain. I recently heard about Law-Enforcer Zhu’s heroic talent. We of Azure Mountain have always opened our gates to people with outstanding abilities. My purpose in coming here today was to invite Law-Enforcer Zhu up our Mountain, to cultivate the great path…”

Qiao Zijiang was stunned after hearing her. ‘Sister, when I heard about the origins of your background, I already knew you weren’t normal. But I never thought that you would be so bold as to steal an Elder’s Law-Enforcer in front of him. The Truth Department would never be able to do something like that… At any rate, it would be better to just hook her up first, and let the other party propose a job change herself. ”

Gui Ei was indeed displeased, and he said, “Milady, your words are quite brazen. Our Association of Spirit Kings was created by the Bodhisattva, and we too have a great path…”

This time it was Zhu Hongying who interrupted him, “Second Elder, there is no need to waste your breath on them. I humbly received the grace of the Bodhisattva. Even if my bones were to be ground into dust, I would not agree to them. Forget the Azure Mountain, which I’ve never even heard of, even if you are inviting us to go to Heaven to become deities we’d refuse…”

Gui Er nodded his head. A hint of amusement seeped into his demeanor, and he looked towards the other party.

Qi Mei did not get angry after hearing that, but instead smiled and said, “You are right, sister. Azure Mountain has always cultivated within the mountain itself, we do not circulate among the mortal world. I’ll demonstrate to you Azure Mountain’s true abilities now. I suspect after you see it, Law-Enforcer Zhu will definitely change your mind.”
