Chapter 773 - Isolationism

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After some time had passed by, the System suddenly said, “Richie, how should we build it?”

Fang Ning was using a computer simulator to play the mobile game. He was relying on Pay-to-Win and killing all his enemies. Just when he was at the climax of the game, he was startled by the System and his game character keeled over.

Yes. It had evolved to the point that Pay-to-Win is in mobile games…

As for the modifier, it naturally existed. Fang Ning was lazy to search online, so he spent money as a means to support the development of others.

The System suddenly exclaimed, and Fang Ning stopped what he was doing. He scanned through the visual angle of the System view half-heartedly and said, “The empty space in front is not bad. The area’s large enough for construction.”

Where the so-called empty space that he spoke of, stood many brown and grey stalagmites. There were some pale yellow and white stalactites hanging from the roof of the cave as well.

“Are you trying to piss me off?” the System was annoyed. “My effort of going around this place is wasted. All you could see was that? There were fourteen locations just now, all better than this one by a hundred times.”

“Calm down,” Fang Ning was guilty. After all, this was the only place he saw. “You should know what I was doing just now. Why are you so mad? You can make the decision yourself.”

“You’ve got a point I guess,” the System said bitterly. “Since you’ve got no opinion, I’m going to choose the previous spot. The area’s larger than this one here by ten times, and the stone walls are more sturdy.”

“Well, that makes sense. That’s settled then,” Fang Ning simply replied, he was still thinking about his unfinished game.

“Having to deal with you is like living eight unfortunate lives,” the System said helplessly.

“Look at you, ungrateful as always. When I came up with this idea, you were basically worshipping me. You haven’t even given me any benefits, and yet your attitude has changed so soon,” Fang Ning pretended to be upset.

“Forget about it then. Bodhisattva has already taught me everything. There’s another problem left though. The air down here is extremely thin because it’s deep underneath the ground. The stone walls were eroded by underground water that makes them prone to collapse. I can’t imagine how high the cost of construction would be,” the System was distressed.

“Look at you, you have to rely me on ideas and advice anyway,” Fang Ning said proudly. “That’s simple. All the help you need is waiting for you there.”

“I understand. Such a wise rich man you are,” the System was completely won over.

“You’re wiser now seeing that you understood what I said so easily. That bunch of rats, under the commands of the beings from the Upper Realm, betraying their own kind. I’ll let them make amends for their faults this time,” Fang Ning said justly.

“You’re right,” the System agreed wholeheartedly. After all, he was getting free labor lawfully. After that, Vigilante A stopped inspecting the place, then he appeared in Greater Rat City in a flash.

Just when he arrived in the city, he received a message on WeChat. The Greater Rat Kingdom was pretty well built, at least there was Wi-Fi everywhere. It was apparent that they made a great effort to blend into the human world.

At least through the Internet, most of the things that happened to human beings could be learned in a timely manner. In that way, they would not be in a state of isolationism and completely lose touch with the outer world.

On the contrary, Vigilante A’s intention was to cut off communication with the rest of the world.

“Old Master Ma wants to see Vigilante A, and it seemed like he has something urgent,” Fang Ning reminded.

“I see it now,” the System responded. “What urgent matter could he possibly have? My mastery in intuition tells me that seeing him wouldn’t make a difference.”

“Good heavens. If Old Master Ma heard that, he would vomit blood,” Fang Ning was utterly speechless. “It’s better to meet him still, my intuition tells me that something’s wrong.”

“It seems that we’re not on the same page about this. Am I not better than you? That’s impossible. I cultivate every day, but you’re always slacking off,” the System was baffled.

“We’ll make a bet to who’s right about this,” Fang Ning was unsure, his intuition wasn’t always something he could rely on.

However, human beings could never live without it. If their intuition was wrong for ten or a hundred times, they would just be wasting some of their time and effort. However, on rare occasions that their intuitions was right, it usually turned out to be a lifesaver or a major discovery.

“Okay, let’s make a bet. Do I even have to be afraid of a lazy bum like you?” the System was very confident. The next moment, Vigilante A went back to his home in a flash… That’s right, Old Master Ma was at Vigilante A’s farm villa and waiting for him in the living room. Butler Zheng was drinking tea with Old Master Ma.

“The System Map’s quite handy, I could easily ask and find out his location,” Fang Ning was impressed.

“Of course. I’ve placed an extra mark on those who are stronger, especially the ones who are yet to be our allies…,” the System said proudly.

“You’re filled with hidden intentions,” Fang Ning had nothing more to say.

“Thanks for your compliment,” the System was shameless.

At this point, Old Master Ma quickly went up to greet Vigilante A.

“I apologize for troubling you to return, I must’ve bothered you a great deal,” Old Master Ma had an apologetic look on his face.

“You’re not wrong. I was just in the middle of something important. Since you’ve got an urgent matter, you should say it first,” Vigilante A said bluntly.

“Thanks for understanding,” Old Master Ma was about to say something, but he stopped and looked around.

“The Venerable One, Taoist Priest Ma, I’ll withdraw myself now,” Zheng Dao got the hint and went out the living room. Then he ordered all the servants to keep away from the place.

Vigilante A nodded, and there were only two of them left in the living room.

Old Master Ma hesitated for a while and said, “The Venerable One, you have offended the goddess from the Upper Realm with the way you acted. Don’t mind me for being nosy, but what you did wasn’t wise.”

“Why does it matter?” Vigilante A showed no signs of being mad, he just talked in his normal tone.

Old Master Ma felt a little relieved. Although he knew Vigilante A would never get angry so easily, what he said implied that he looked down on Vigilante A. Any other powerhouse would be furious of what he said.

To a lot of powerhouses, having your powers underestimated was the biggest humiliation.

“No one knows the extent of the Upper Realm, nor the number of powerhouses. That goddess from the Upper Realm might be far less powerful than you, but behind her stands many holy immortals and buddhas. If they were to blame it on you, would it not be an imminent disaster? In all the myths and fables, the ones who went against the beings from the Upper Realm never had any happy endings. This might be hard to hear, but it’s the truth,” Old Master Ma was earnest and sincere.

He was aware that what he said was hard to take in. However, standing from the viewpoint of a true friend, he felt that he had to say it at all costs. After all, he did not wish to see the Venerable Dragon God to be another one to suffer the fate of repression.

Vigilante A’s natural talents, strong willpower, diligence in cultivation, righteous character… He was the best of humanity and a gem of the human race.

“You’ve got a point. However, if I don’t come forward, the whole of Earth would be at their mercy. By that time, I’m afraid that unpredictable things might happen,” Vigilante A shook his head.

“Venerable One, I’m not asking you to succumb to them forever. You just have to pretend to be temporarily. Once you’ve reached immortal ascension, you can go back on your word then. Your cultivation path might be an obstacle, but if you can change it and leave it behind…,” Old Master Ma did not express his thoughts fully. After all, he did not wish to be condemned by the heavenly gods…

The Earth of Heavenly Axiom might not have a way to deal with the beings from the Upper Realm, but dealing with a Lake-Level powerhouse like him was a child’s play.

“I understand that your intentions are good. Do you have anything else you want to say?” Vigilante A said flatly.

Old Master Ma knew that Vigilante A was suggesting him to leave and said, “According to my observations, if you don’t change your attitude towards the Upper Realm, I’m afraid that they’ll send someone extremely powerful to suppress you. I’m guessing that won’t even take a month.”

“I appreciate that. You must’ve taken a great risk as well. If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can always come and seek my help,” Vigilante A finally changed his tone and thanked Old Master Ma.

“Alright. Venerable One, you’ve got to take extra caution. I’ll make a move now,” Old Master Ma knew that this favor did not come easily, but Vigilante A did not show any will to change. He let out a long sigh, and walked out the living room.

“You won, Richie. However, I’m very glad that I lost…,” the System was walking on air.

“Be careful about capsizing the boat,” Fang Ning solemnly warned.

“Don’t worry. I’m a captain with almost a hundred years of working experience,” the System said with extreme confidence.
