Chapter 186: Let’s Launch One Too

Junior Sister Qi’s eyes brightened, “Since he’s just Pond-level, he doesn’t seem that strong. Plus, nobody has seen that dragon before, so it would be possible to catch him… Ah, no, so Senior Ren, what other superpowered people are there?”

Ren Ruofeng’s brows furrowed. Judging by her words, she must have somehow heard that Brother Dragon’s current might was not that strong, and wanted to capture him back to the mountain… It was absolutely preposterous! With such a good dragon like Brother Dragon, it saved him a lot of trouble. Most importantly, where would he buy his Face Rejuvenating Pills in the future?

He had met these two people three years ago. That Senior Gu, named Gu Buwei, had remained aloof and was thoroughly particular about equivalent exchange in order to get rid of the higher-ups. He had no semblance of serving the country, and there was not much else to be said about him.

However, this Junior Sister Qi, a girl named Qi Mei, had an extremely vivacious disposition. She loved fresh and stimulating thrills, and she especially liked to find powerhouses to pit her strength against, and find various types of rare and precious monsters. She caused more than a small amount of trouble, but the Truth Department covered it up from the shadows.

However, because her background at Azure Mountain was very strong, Gu Buwei had to go easy on her. That was the reason why he personally looked after her.

His expression quickly turned calm, as he suddenly thought of a place, already having an idea in his head, and then said, “The other superpowered people are nothing, with the intrinsic strength of your Azure Mountain, you do not have to mind them. But there is one venerable one. The Bodhisattva Spirit King of the Southern Association of Spirit Kings, from the Buddhists of the Upper Realm is making a fresh start in this realm. It is said that he was a real Bodhisattva who descended to the mortal world spiritually, He has immense Spiritual Ascension, he even has the Resurrection Ability.”

The moment he uttered those words, Qi Mei and Gu Buwei’s expressions changed slightly.

Qi Mei shot up and said in disbelief, “Can it really resurrect?”

Ren Ruofeng nodded, “With no doubt. We verified it last year. There was the soul of Zhu Sanmei who died many years ago. Due to her master Gui Qi’s death, she got frightened out of her own wits, but was revived by him. She is now the Law-Enforcement Spirit of the Association of Spirit Kings, and her name has changed to Zhu Hongying. Her bearing is much better than ordinary people. As for her lifespan, it is definitely over several hundred years. She’s quite the subject of envy.

Qi Mei had no more suspicions. He had already stated such an example, how could it be false?

She looked at her Senior Brother with sparkling eyes, whereas Gu Buwei had calmed down quickly, and said, “To be able to reincarnate, and reunite scattered souls from the void, it is certainly amazing. I wonder how is his strength?”

Ren Ruofeng laughed, “This person lives in seclusion and rarely comes out. The scale of his strength was evaluated to be Pond-level at first, but no traces of him have been found these days. Perhaps he is accumulating his strength, and may be preparing to advance to Lake-level. After all, he was a Bodhisatta which descended to the world spiritually. There is no need for various breakthroughs, his strength would only be affected by the principles of the world.”

Gu Buwei shook his head, “The vitality in this realm is too thin, if he wanted to accumulate his strength and raise to Lake-level, it would be impossible to do so in just a few years. Either he takes the opportunity if the vitality concentration spikes, or he cultivates the path of godhood. But China is being controlled by your Truth Department, so unless he sets up his own clan, it would be impossible.”

Ren Ruofeng nodded. “You are right, my friend. The vitality concentration of this place is ten times higher than the Land of Heritage, how can it compare with your Azure Mountain? That Bodhisattva Spirit King should still be at Pond-level.”

Qi Mei interrupted and said, “In that case, since you are busy with Master’s matters, let Senior Ren borrow us two people. I have some business with that Bodhisattva Spirit King.”

Gu Buwei shook his head. “Junior Sister, I understand how you feel, but we have our own missions to complete. You need to go around and search for outstanding disciples among the people, and I need to convene everywhere with Senior Ren to launch the Treasure Trading Convention. Although we were given a whole year to search for disciples because of last year’s accident, and we have plenty of time, we still cannot act with personal intentions.”

Qi Mei grit her teeth. She suddenly thought of an idea and said to Ren Ruofeng, “Since Zhu Hongying was chosen by that Bodhisattva Spirit King and brought back to life as a spirit, her proficiency should be extremely high, right?”

Ren Ruofeng nodded, “According to the file records, she should have the Spirit King’s proficiency.”

Qi Mei looked towards Gu Buwei, and he nodded his head.

Ren Ruofeng maintained his expression and sneered to himself. She really still had the same style from three years ago, acting as if the mere words’Azure Mountain’ was enough to convince one and all to come with her, but did they know what the situation had become?

…

Another two days had passed. In the System Space, Fang Ning was leading his little brothers in farming Bosses and clearing Instance Dungeons, having fun.

At this time, the System spoke up, “Mr. Multi-Millionaire Host, your time of relaxation is up… It’s time to punch the clock, you can play again after you finish work.”

Fang Ning stared blankly, it did not matter if he went immediately. Although the Spirit Mode’s character is bound to one person, there is still the normal keyboard and mouse mode.

Fang Ning said, “Sir System, set up a computer and internet access in Anderson’s prison officer’s office. I’ll ask them to get someone to help me level up 24/7.”

The System, “Mm, I’ll arrange it immediately for you, Mr. Multi-Millionaire.”

Fang Ning spoke to Anderson, and he vowed to make this ‘Dragon Soar Under Heaven’ account number 1 on all rankings.

After settling that, Fang Ning adopted the behavior of a boss inspecting his employee’s work, and asked, “You’ve been training in isolation for a few days, how is your progress? Have you risen to Lake-level?”

The System said, “Don’t worry, my multi-millionaire host. I need to leave 10 million Experience Points to forge a flying sword, the rest will be used to advance power. Take a look at the notifications first.”

System Notification, [The System consumed 15.5 million Experience Points. Level raised from Level 20 to Level 25. Health Points and Vital Energy increased. Attribute Points increased by 5.]

[Basic Aggro Bar increased by 1. Current amount is 6. With talisman ‘Aggro Bracelet’, Aggro Bar amount increased to 18.]

[‘Dragonization Ability’ and ‘Atmospheric Morality Technique’ upper limit increased to Master-level.]

[The System consumed 30 million Experience Points. Isolated cultivation increased ‘Dragonization Ability’ to Master-level. Effects are as follows:]

[1: Master-Level Gorging. A year’s worth of food can be consumed in one sitting. There will be no need to eat for one year.]

[2: All Dragon Series martial arts power increased. Current ability level increased by 500 percent.]

[3: ‘Dragonization Ability’ and all Dragon Series martial arts fusion completed. The System successfully learned Special Martial Realm ‘Dragon Incarnation’. No morality will be consumed upon transforming into True Dragon Form.]

[The System’s current Dragon Series martial arts content Fusion progress completed. The System learned a new Dragon Series martial arts skill ‘Dragon’s Roar through the Nine Heavens’.]

[The System’s wind-element Dragon Series martial arts cultivated to skill cap. Effect: When using wind-element Dragon Series martial arts, formidable power is increased by 100 percent.]

[The System started cultivating lightning-element Dragon Series martial arts.]

[The System in isolated cultivation learned Basic martial arts ‘Vigilante’s Flying Book’. Currently beginner-level. Explanations are as follows:]

[1: When casting the game book, choosing to consume Morality will trigger ‘Sure Hit’ effect.]

[2: Every attack will automatically lock on to the opponent’s head. Without ‘Sure Hit’ effect, hit rate and proficiency is based on martial arts level.]

Fang Ning was extremely pleased, Sir System worked hard again, and he could more at ease when he cooped himself up from now onwards…

“Hm, not bad. My precious game book, let me see the strength of your Daddy System. I want to see the real one, don’t listen to it and show me a fake one.” Fang Ning slouched on the leather sofa in the Cyber Cafe.

The game book only floated before him, and obediently opened up its pages and displayed itself to its master.

[Name: N/A. Gender: N/A, Hobbies: Training and farming, Age: 0.5. Identity: The System.]

[Alignment: Defender of Justice.]

[Power Level: Peak Pond-level Powerhouse. Description: Three swimming pools, very deep swimming pools. Extremely high endurance, extremely high dodge, superior speed, strong attack, above average defense, numerous moves, extremely strong escaping ability, extremely high survival ability…]

Fang Ning was satisfied after looking at it. After considering, he let the beloved game book check on that ‘four-headed snake monster’s details and made some comparisons.

[Name: Aachman. Gender: Male, Hobbies: Preaching, Age: N/A. Identity: Seventh Envoy of the Hindu God of Creation.]

[Alignment: Neutral Evil.]

[Power Level: Lake-level Powerhouse. Description: Small lake, not enough for followers to

worship, very shallow waters.]

After comparing it, Fang Ning asked, “A small lake is still a lake, and is still bigger than a pond. We still can’t compare with him yet… When are you going to reach Lake-level?”

The System replied, “It should be enough farming those hundred or so Pond-level monsters in the Land of Heritage. To quickly promote abilities that are Master-level and above would consume ridiculously large amounts of experience points, all billions of experience points per level. We would need to take time and slowly cultivate them if you want to.”

Fang Ning did some calculations. He could obtain approximately a few billion experience points in that area, still enough to raise a few levels, but it might not be easy for him to find that many monsters anymore. There would probably not be many chances to quickly raise his strength, so the only thing he could do would be to cultivate slowly.

The good news was that the System was cultivating all the time, and even used multithreading too. Its hard work was way beyond what others were capable of. He should still be able to rush ahead by cultivating step by step.

Fang Ning nodded his head. “Since there’s no way for us to level up quickly, we should then strengthen our external might, get the best equipment, and expand our connections with others. What else could we do to increase our strength, let me think…”

While he was talking, Fang Ning saw his QQ app lit up. It was something sent by Zheng Dao. He tapped open the message.

Zheng Dao wrote, “Venerable One, the Truth Department just sent a notice saying that on 22nd February, the arcane realm ‘Azure Mountain’ will convene the ‘Treasure Trading Convention’ at the Truth Department General Headquarters. Every subsequent month on the 22nd day, there will be a period of three days to carry out the trading of treasures. The entire process will last for one year. All Double-B grade associates will have the right to participate. The treasures the other party is offering as well as the treasures they are requesting are all listed in the attachment.”

Fang Ning thought at the moment, “Treasure Trading Convention”, it was pretty easy to understand, there were similar events in the normal human world. Things like pearls and agate, emerald and jade, antique paintings and drawings etcetera. They all cost a bomb, but had absolutely nothing to do with increasing one’s strength.

He immediately asked the System, “We are rich now, and the chance to increase our strength has arrived. Sir System, you have quite a few treasures you usually hoard, right?”

The System replied, “Not really, most of it is just materials. The best we have now is that jeweled scepter currently hanging from the ceiling of the System Space. Its function is still unknown.”

Fang Ning opened the attachment and said, “In that case, take a look at these treasures offered by Azure Mountain. Can you create something similar to this?”

After a short while, the System finished browsing and replied, “Yes, they are currently supplying pills, Buddhist instruments, Formation Discs, techniques etcetera… I can refine the same effects for most of the pills. As for the Buddhist instruments, I would need to cultivate instrument refining techniques before I can do it. There are some that can be built using the Master-level Forging, but we lack the materials. I do not know how to refine Formation Discs, and for techniques, all that I have are normal martial arts and three supreme techniques, which we cannot use to trade.”

Fang Ning said instantly, “Refine as much as you can. Look at their prices when the time comes, and we will sell after them. This is the best time to gather materials, and when we are done, get familiar with the process, and make a name for ourselves. Next time, we can also learn from them and launch a Dragon Clan Treasure Trading Convention once every three years.”

The System said, “Hm, then I’ll start refining. Right, you should go practice that ‘Vigilante’s Flying Book’. That martial art is very basic, you should be able to learn it quicker…”

Fang Ning saw a flimsy book fall into his palms. He carelessly flipped through the pages and remembered everything inside it. Of course, it was easy. It was just some casting techniques.

He worked his mind and got the idea. “I’ve finished learning it.”

The System was astonished. “I know your brainpower is very strong, but isn’t that a little too quick?”

Fang Ning said, “If you don’t believe me, then make me a human-shaped target. I’ll show you.”

After he said that, the System set up a human-shaped target on a tree on the small road at the Cyber Cafe’s entrance.

Fang Ning hugged the beloved game book and went around 30 meters away. He told the System,

“Watch closely…”

The System said, “Show me how you hit this target’s head.”

Fang Ning lowered his voice to say a few words to the game book. He did not bother getting into the shot put stance. He only held it with one hand, “Babe, please eliminate the enemy.”

Whoosh! The gamebook suddenly flew out by itself and flew towards the head of the human-shaped target, and beat it up to a pulp.

The System was speechless, “…”

Fang Ning said, “How’s that? Does that count?”

The System said, “Why won’t that stupid book listen obediently when I’m the one using it? I can only use it as a brick, but when it’s you then suddenly it becomes a homing missile…”

Fang Ning laughed, “Respect is mutual. That is something you ought to learn… We’ve made an agreement. As long as you use the spell I tell you, it will automatically bash people’s brains in.

But when it comes to those awesome people, you’ll still have to consume Morality and act.”

The System said, “Ah, that’s better. I knew this stupid book wasn’t that useful at all… It can’t possibly be stronger than me.”
