Chapter 206: Unparalleled
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Fang Ning’s round of interrogation, he also started to feel hungry…
It could not be helped. Since he was accompanying this glutton, he got hungry easily.
Speaking of which, it had been awhile since he personally ate food. A large part of enjoying life was eating good food. Even though he was rich, and even had a God-level chef at his disposal, he practically did not have any time to enjoy himself. That was another shortcoming of being seized by the System.
As the System was currently training, he conveniently stole a still steaming plate of rib chops from the System Preservation Area.
He placed it on the table, broke apart a pair of chopsticks, and started eating.
Besides, the System would definitely not dare to reckon with him over something this trivial. After all, he was a future multi-millionaire.
At first, the green insect looked unimpressed, and only waited for the attendant to serve more dishes.
Later, its nose twitched twice. A pair of beady little eyes involuntarily turned towards the pile of ribs.
It wanted to devour all of that in one bite, but recalling the might of this Tyrannosaurus, it shrunk back again. Right now, it had really no way of standing up to its opponent.
Forget it, that could wait until it finished eating and recovered its strength. Firstly, it would ask who cooked all of that. It actually was over a hundred times more brilliant than what he was eating now.
“Hey, Great Azure Dragon, those bones you’re eating, who made them?” he asked casually.
Fang Ning answered breezily, “Of course, it was cooked by my personal cook. He’s the boss of this shop, and usually doesn’t do this. Only when I come, or if his close friends come, he would.
“What?!” The Great Green Insect stood up, its face outraged, “How preposterous. I, Chong Daqing , was previously the dignified Celestial Clan’s patriarch’s daughter, and the current leader of the Spirit Insects. I have such an exalted identity, but he dares to not cook personally for me…”
“Hm?” Fang Ning cast it a sidelong glance.
The Great Green Insect hurriedly restrained the powerhouse presence it was about to release, and said with its head lowered, “What I meant was, he is being too disgraceful towards you, Great Azure Dragon. This is your treat after all…”
Fang Ning lightly said, “I’ll never throw my weight around. If he is willing to cook for me, that is due to our friendship. However, if he is not willing to cook, then that is his duty. From what I’ve observed, your character is not bad, Chong Daqing. In the future, you must walk the path of righteousness, and never use your power to bully others. Otherwise, if I find out…”
The Great Green Insect grumbled, “I got it, I’ll be a good person.”
Its eyes stared intently at the pile of ribs, and it scoffed in its heart, ‘Hmph, you boast without feeling shame. You must have asked him to prepare several delicacies and saved them beforehand. I know that your Dragon Clan has spatial talismans if nothing else. It’s a shame that my flesh body loses in that aspect. The treasures I carry on myself are gone, and I only have one that protects my soul. That place is too dangerous, so I can’t go and find it now.’
Fang Ning saw that it was being rather pitiful. Since his heart was soft, he could not act as righteous as the System could. He considered, the little guy had just given him a large amount of information, and he could still use it in the future. This, he reached into the System Preservation Area and stole two plates of ribs out.
“Hey, stop staring already. I’ll let you eat these, I don’t have any more left.” Fang Ning educated this green insect, “In the future, remember to be a good person. If you build a good relationship with the boss, he’ll naturally cook personally to entertain you.”
The Great Green Insect hurriedly nodded and agreed, but its eyes were fixed solely on the ribs. It was just about to open its mouth wide and devour everything in one bite, but it changed its mind instead and slowly savored it piece by piece, lest it ate everything in one go.
…
Accompanying this Great Green Insect while eating and digging information to fill in the blanks, the meal lasted until night time, and it did not seem to have any intention of stopping.
At this moment, Fang Ning received another email. After reading it, he thought to himself, ‘It’s about time. It seems my plan to disguise as a wolf in sheep’s clothing finally succeeded.’
It seems the organizer of the Dark Tournament Challenge Match finally sent him news of someone evoking the Right to Challenge the King.
In modern society, news travels quickly. As long as goes viral enough, ten minutes or so would be enough for it to spread across the world.
The System kicked up a fuss at the Treasure Trading Convention, and even drew his sword in public. It had been more than ten days since that incident, so it was about time that the heroes of the world realized the ‘truth’.
The message wrote, “To the Honorable King of the Dark Tournament, the unparalleled Celestial Aura of Your Excellency The Eastern Dragon God… the Wise Grand Tutor from Guifang Country has decided to evoke the Right to Challenge the King, and issued a challenge to you.
“Should you choose to accept the challenge, please reply to this email. We will arrange the competition in five days, or your candidacy for the King of the Dark Tournament will be revoked, and you will have to participate in the qualifiers match in order to capture the King again.”
Guifang Country, Fang Ning knew about them. Their population was around three million, but their land was sparsely populated. The average population per square kilometer less than even two people.
This Wise Grand Tutor was probably an Extraordinaire from that country who wanted to take the opportunity to build his power, gain fame, and consolidate his position.
After all, Vigilante A was the Eastern Dragon God, and a ‘World Legend’.
At this time, the System said, “It’s finally here. Your plan was brilliant as expected, Mr. Multi-millionaire. Tell me, how should I fight when the time comes? Lest the battle ends without even a fight.”
Fang Ning said, “Depends on the situation. In any case, you must run with my strategy until the end. If you meet a good person, win or force a draw. If you meet a bad person, force a draw and delay death.”
The System said, “What does that mean?”
Fang Ning was speechless, “It’s written in here… You got hit by my so-and-so palm energy, in a few days, you will die from your Internal Energy attacking your heart.”
The System said, “Oh, what you saw really was true. Only, I still need to advance my ability once more to be able to do that.”
System Notification: [The System consumed 4,000,000 Experience Points and advanced ordinary Martial Arts ‘Dragon Fist’ to Master-level. Effects are as follows:]
[1. For every Dragon Series Martial Arts attribute cultivated, Basic Martial formidable power increased by 50%.]
[2. Different attribute Dragon Series vital energy can be contained in one move. After hitting the enemy, vital energy can be kept and not released. The attacker can control the time and opportunity the vital energy shows effect.]
The System continued, “It’s a shame we can’t loot them if they die outside…”
Fang Ning said placatingly, “It’s the Dark Tournament qualifiers match, fighting one more match will not make a difference. Don’t be so calculative.”
Later, seeing that the Great Green Insect was still eating with no end in sight, he called over the restaurant’s manager-on-duty.
The shopkeeper, Zhao Ying, recently took time off. She seemed to have gone into isolated cultivation, presumably because she wanted to chase after her Savior’s footsteps…
Fang Ning understood. In the new era where danger emerged in an endless stream, smart people all worked hard from the shadows. It was probably only he who could have the ability to pretend even during his time as an ordinary person.
“Serve this Great Green Insect more dishes, until…” Fang Ning stopped. The Great Green Insect was immediately filled with anxiety, but after a long while, he finally continued, “Ah, until the bill reaches 60 million.”
The manager-on-duty was terrified at his words. As expected of an extraordinary person, he was prepared to pay a bill of 60 million for just one meal…
If it weren’t for the fact that he usually saw heroes eat a few millions worth of food, this heart of his would not have been able to take the shock.
“Understood, Hero. I shall transfer a specialized chef to be responsible for this Sir Chong 1 .”
“It’s Miss Chong,” the Great Green Insect said in dissatisfaction with a clear and melodious female voice.
The manager-on-duty hurriedly nodded his head. This was someone who alarmed quite a number of big-shots. Only the Hero of Qi City would be able to subdue it.
Fang Ning just contacted the Truth Department through Zheng Dao. He estimated the cash remuneration this time will be 300 million, the rest would be converted to pay the bills for vitality materials.
Fang Ning did not hesitate to use cash to split with the Great Green Insect. 30% would be 60 million…
“Is that a lot of money?” The Great Green Insect still did not have any concrete concepts.
“A lot. Most people won’t be able to earn that much their entire lives,” Fang Ning lied casually, “However, if it’s to let you eat your fill, then this much is no problem.”
Five days later, the System finally finished advancing. After informing Fang Ning, he expressed… absolutely nothing.
He was currently busy being shocked at the Great Green Insect’s appetite. It was still eating until now…
Vigilante A was constantly seized by the System, and could cultivate anytime, anywhere. Fang Ning could retract back into the System Space to work and rest, or else it was impossible for him to accompany it to eat until now.
Fang Ning disregarded the Great Green Insect which was still fiercely eating, and said to the System, “Sir, your advancement is indeed low-key. That time when Master Cang successfully rose to Pond-level, there was white gas which rushed to the skies. This time you successfully rose to Lake-level, but nothing is happening at all. That’s good, I was afraid that there would be trouble again.”
The System said, “Of course there isn’t anything happening. My power system is different from his.”
Fang Ning nodded, and took a look at the System Notification.
System Notification: [The System consumed 20,000,000 Experience Points and upgraded High-level Faking Technique to Master-level. Current effects: Only enemies three levels above the System will be able to see through the effects of the Faking Technique.]
[The System consumed 1,100,000,000 Experience Points. Isolated cultivation upgraded Master-level Dragonization Ability to Legend-level. Effects are as follows:]
[1: Legendary-level Gorging. Required food for three years worth of activity can be consumed in one sitting. There will be no need to consume food within three years.]
2: All Dragon Series Martial Arts formidable power increased. Current ability level increased by 800%.]
[3: Preliminary evolution of Dragon body successful, increasing basic body attributes by a large margin. Strength increased to 50 points, Innateness increased to 50 points, Alertness increased to 50 points. Health points increased to 30,000, Vital energy increased to 30,000.]
[Strength far exceeds the upper limit of mortals, obtained Skill ‘Mangle’. When opponent’s power is lower than half, all of the System’s melee attack skills automatically bear the Mangle effect. Damage will be increased by 100%.]
[Innateness far exceeds the upper limit of mortals, obtained Skill ‘Supreme Aptitude’. The Host’s vitality capacity proficiency increased to S-Grade. Cultivating speed of Trueness Cultivation type abilities increased by 200%.]
[Alertness far exceeds the upper limit of mortals, obtained Skill ‘Super Speed’. Short-distance mechanomotive force sharply increased.]
Fang Ning was both surprised and happy to see that. This Legendary-level was truly remarkable to directly change his body attributes and add attribute points. Only Comprehension and Luck did not increase, everything else skyrocketed.
He could probably level up easy while taking a backseat. Such a strong body, it was worthy to transform into a dragon. No wonder the Dragon Clan is so strong. Since this body grew, the strength was already at the borderline of Lake-level from the start.
Estimating how strong he was right now… it seemed he did not have to worry about summoning that useless Celestial Dragon anymore.
He hurriedly summoned his precious game book, “Baby, calculate your Master’s true strength, along with the body. Then see what Power Level your Daddy System is now. No need to indicate anything else…”
[Fang Ning, Power-level: Pond-level Powerhouse. Description: Water level… hard to determine. Take heed to not go into battle.]
[The System, Power-level: Lake-level Powerhouse. Description: Flesh body extremely strong, speed extremely high, attacking power extremely strong, survival power extremely strong… God of Battle, unparalleled.]
Fang Ning heaved a large sigh of relief upon reading. The larger the body of water, the better.. This time, at least the Celestial Dragon summoned will be one level higher than the current Pond-level System. Nobody should have the ability to fight against it, he did not need to personally control it.
He was getting addicted to being seized…
