Seized by the System

Zheng Dao was standing by the swimming pool as he reported. He looked charming in a suit and golden-framed glasses while he spoke clearly, appearing just like a legitimate filthy rich suck-up…

“Cang Gongzi said that the Morality City is progressing very well. Due to the large expansion of the new spiritual robots, the effectiveness of capital construction is extremely high. Among the recent basic facilities, the roads, power plant, hospital, school, safety mechanism…have already arrived at preliminary completion.

“The sales of Dragon Clan’s secret online store continues to increase, and the normal vitality pills are continuously supplied in large amounts. The Dragon Clan Honey-flavored Pill, Soul Strengthening Pill, and the Nine Transformations Rejuvenating Pill are in short supply, it’s hard to even find any of them at the moment…

“The Fang Family Food Paradise has been built, but because of the moon crisis, it hasn’t achieved one-third of the initial expectation for its income. It’s still earning a large profit but many of the foreign ingredients are often out of stock, only the ingredients from the local Xingsheng Group by Boss Zhao are in sufficient supply…

“Many of your followers have stable emotions and positive attitudes at the moment…”

Upon hearing him, the black dog beside instantly lifted its head a little higher, its black metal skin was reflecting a unique metallic luster under the dazzling sun…

Fang Ning was floating on the water surface as he listened, he thought to himself, ‘Everything is normal, this is great, I don’t like accidents, it’ll be best to just stay at home without worries.’

However, problems would not leave Vigilante A alone.

Even if Sir System was not around, he was still the talk of the world, the focus of the people, the brightest pharos in the dark night…

“As for recent temporary affairs to attend to, the main one will be the ‘Demon Suppression Ceremony’ held by Cloud Fog City. It’ll be convened at 9 am in the morning tomorrow, at Guifang’s Prairie XX. The participants include all human powerhouses above Pond-level, the Descended Ones from upper realm, and powerful forces who are in goodwill with humans. I heard that they’ve paid an extreme price for this Demon Suppression Ceremony.”

‘Ai, I almost forgot about this. Since the butler mentioned it and that idiot has accepted the money on its own will, I can’t turn it down.’ Fang Ning thought.

Without the Sir’s supervision, Fang Ning was experiencing a terminal case of laziness, he truly forgot about this. If it were not for Zheng Dao who was attentive to details and reminded him, Cloud Fog City would really slump…

Everyone would certainly steer according to the wind if Vigilante A would not be there to keep watch, thinking that they had lost his support. Although it would be momentary, they would suffer a huge loss.

An influential force like that had an extensive territory, hence should they lose their prestige, a bunch of people would definitely go crazy gaining advantage from it.

Even if they were to regain their losses, it would be harder than reaching for the sky…

Fang Ning could only get out from the swimming pool unhappily, since he had matters to attend to the next day. He no longer had the mood to relax. He pondered, ‘What should I do now?’

All of a sudden, his heart twitched, he really forgot about something important.

Despite that, he still remained a poker face and responded to Zheng Dao, “Alright, I understand.”

Fang Ning remembered something urgent that required his immediate action.

Since sir was still in isolation, it could not seize him anymore. Unless it was a critical situation, it would not appear to fight for him.

In other words, should the smallest accident occur in this huge event at all, he would be on his own…

How could he let this be?

If those were games, Fang Ning knew that he would not be afraid, but those were real fights involving weapons. Though he was already used to bloody scenes, surely he would not be able to adjust to situations where he needed to do things like that…

Once Fang Ning was done conversing with Zheng Dao, he quickly brainstormed for an idea.

He must think of a way, with that many people present at the ceremony, what would happen if somebody were to provoke Vigilante A?

…

An hour later, Sky Eagle descended from the sky, the great green insect flew out from the Draconic Arcane Realm, the black dog sat beside Vigilante A, and Xue Ba the yellow dog emerged from the ground.

‘Very well, with these four Lake-level powerhouses, do I even need to do anything?’ Fang Ning said in his mind.

Previously when sir was around, it never let them do anything because they would steal its limelight…

Now it was time for them to show their strengths, Vigilante A could not be the only one to make moves all the time, and Fang Ning’s precious body could not be harmed at all.

Fang Ning announced calmly, “Everyone, Cloud Fog City will be having a Demon Suppression Ceremony tomorrow, I need you to unveil your strengths, what are your thoughts?”

Sky Eagle hesitated but replied, “‘Demon Suppression Ceremony’? By right we originated from demons as well, it’s just that we’ve completed our cultivation and gotten rid of demon attributes, this name is rather disturbing.”

“Oh, that’s true, it’s doesn’t sound fancy enough, I’ll have them change the name, it shall be changed into a Fellowship Meeting then. If our friends come, there is fine wine, but if the wolves come, those who greet them have hunting guns… ¹ ” Fang Ning casually answered.

At this instance, in a place still unknown, Cang Lang the Military Executive of Demon Alliance was planning an action to infiltrate Australia, it suddenly felt chills down its spine.

‘Could it be that somebody is plotting a scheme against me?’ It wondered.

While it thought so, it continued ordering its followers around as if nothing was going on, it only became more alert.

When Sky Eagle heard what Fang Ning said, it nodded. “Since you’ve instructed us to, we’ll naturally be duty bound. It happens that I’ve just learned a number of brilliant magic spells of the path of godhood from Master River God, I shall take this opportunity to exchange skills with those of the same path.”

“This will be great, this time, Brett has advanced into Lake-level and has a mythical metal body, it’s time for it to make its name known.” Fang Ning spoke earnestly, “Little Black, I have faith in you this time, heroes from various paths will be present, tomorrow will be the day for you to become prominent.”

“Thank you for giving me this chance, master, I’ll surely do my best and leave those heroes in awe.” Brett held its head high and declared.

“Keep up this momentum, you must dare to be the first, get rid of all obstacles, and be brave in everything you do.” Fang Ning encouraged.

“Yes, I understand.” Brett stomped the ground with its might to express its determination.

Next thing they knew, it vanished.

Everyone else was dumbfounded but they then noticed a dog-shaped hole on the marble floor of the villa’s courtyard…

“Hehe, Big Black, be more mindful, this courtyard it very expensive, it can’t withstand your determination.” Xue Ba the yellow dog purposely remarked.

“Uh, I’ll take note in the future.” Brett the black dog leaped out from the hole then landed carefully.

The great green insect quickly said, “I’m very capable too, but I can only unleash them after I eat.”

Fang Ning was speechless when he heard that, but after he thought for a while, he stole a bottle of Honey-flavored Pills and passed it to it as it urged, “This is your snack, if you perform well, you’ll get more.”

“Great Azure Dragon, no, Little White Dragon, you’re very nice, you’re much more heroic than the Great Azure Dragon.” The great green insect’s eyes glimmered, it immediately pounced forward and hugged the jade bottle tight with an elated mood.

‘Hehe, I knew it could tell’, Fang Ning thought to himself, but he did not bother about it since he was sharing a body with sir and he was not by himself…

When the yellow dog witnessed that, it quickly pleaded, “Owner, I have very powerful magic too, I’ll certainly do a great job.”

“Very well, as long as you don’t ruin my image, all of you will get rewards when you return.” Fang Ning noted generously.

“Let me make this clear first, these rewards will come from your own treasury.” Sir System suddenly spoke.

“Tss…” Fang Ning was surprised. “Didn’t you say that you won’t show up unless out of absolute necessity?”

“Yes, now is the time of absolute necessity! You’re almost turning my System Preservation Area into your home!” Sir was enraged.

“Uh, I’m sorry, I got used to it, I’ll pay more attention to it next time. Quickly return to isolated cultivation now, don’t cause any trouble.” Fang Ning tried to fool it.

“Lazy Rich Boss, I know you’re using my items in exchange for their favors because you don’t want to do it yourself, I really don’t have the time to seek trouble with you now, you better watch out after I level up.” Sir System was absolutely not bothered about Fang Ning’s attempted tricks.

“Hehe, let’s see who’s afraid of who.” Fang Ning could not care less. “You’re only levelling up the System Map anyway, not your IQ or EQ…”

“Hmph, you’ll definitely be shocked!” Sir uttered,

“Damn it, you better not mess with my body!” Fang Ning really panicked after he heard that, but Sir no longer responded to him.

After calling out to it for a few times, that idiot continued to ignore him. It seemed like he really crossed the line this time, what a stingy system indeed, he was only spending its money for the better of the bigger picture.
