Seized by the System

It was true that Fang Ning was lazy but he personally experienced the oppressive Chinese history in the past, so he understood very well the consequences of having science and technology that fell behind.

The Era of Vitality was one where vitality had recovered. Most of the old scientific theories were losing their effectiveness one after another, but that did not mean that science itself became useless.

On the contrary, this only meant that these ineffective scientific theories needed restructuring, new experiments, and new conclusions. The law of the new world and the new era must be found.

Once this restructuring work was done, the power emerged from these scientific theories would be unimaginable.

When that happened, everything would truly be possible when only one thing became possible.

After Fang Ning realized the seriousness of the issue, it was a rare scene as he did not delay his actions like he usually did. Instead, he quickly called for Zheng Dao, the little hamster, and the other core members to discuss this.

He needed to establish the “Scientific Academy for Vitality” right away.

Back then, he was just a nobody; even when there were many things that he did not agree to, he could only grumble a little then leave it be, and continued working or playing after complaining. He was similar to many commoners as there was nothing much he could change, he could only go with the flow, and play his own part.

However, it was different now. All by himself, he was able to shake Heaven and Earth.

On top of that, it was not an exaggeration to describe his transferable resources as “rich”.

At this moment in the living room, many followers were quickly gathered. There was Zheng Dao, the little hamster, the black and yellow dogs, and Chong Daqing who had just came from the Draconic Arcane Realm.

“Cang Gongzi, you must work hand-in-hand with Butler Zheng to build the Scientific Academy for Vitality. Right, I have Scientist An here with me who’s an expert in cultivation matters and scientific research, and will be the chief academician of the Scientific Academy for Vitality. Later on, I”ll let him into Morality City to discuss with you on the construction matters of the academy. If you need to, just report to me, I’ll do my best to allocate anything required.”

When Bai Ruocang heard him, he was a little dumbfounded. It was already his limit when he handled the city construction work under Dragon Card’s assistance.

Now, to be in charge of an academy?

After two years, he had returned his biology and chemistry knowledge from even high school to his physical education teacher, now he was to be at the cutting edge of science?

He was all thumbs… Completely clueless.

On the other hand, Zheng Dao nodded quietly. Meanwhile, the black dog was also puzzled.

The reactions of all his followers were entirely different.

Xue Ba the yellow dog was eager to try, it raised its leg to voice out, “Master, I’d like to participate in this Scientific Academy for Vitality. I have a deep understanding of humans’ past scientific theory, and I know the cultivation theory of the upper realm. If I combine both of them together, it’ll certainly benefit the construction work of the academy.”

Bai Ruocang felt like he had found a life-saving straw, he quickly backed it up. “Venerable One, I think that Teacher Xue can really uptake this responsibility, its intelligence is ten times better than mine, it’ll be best for it to take charge of this important project.”

The moment the yellow dog heard what he said, it could not help but lift the corners of its mouth. It glanced proudly at the black dog beside it.

The black dog stared back at it, then spoke with its Eye Contact Technique, “What are you trying to do? Are you trying to ruin the unity again? We’ve just had the Hundred Fish Feast not long ago.”

The yellow dog gasped, sure enough, a dog who had been away for long should be looked at with new eyes. After not meeting for a few days, the black dog had learned to stigmatize others.

Right then, it could only draw in its emotion and put on a humble attitude. “Cang Gongzi, you’re flattering me. Even though I have some specialties, the development of scientific research can only be pulled together through teamwork. By working together, we can restructure these theories and contribute to our owner’s foundation.”

“Very well, having a humble attitude is exactly what we need for a science research. At any point in time, don’t be arrogant about science. A wise man once said, weakness is not an obstacle to survival, arrogance is. You must remember this.” Fang Ning praised it.

The yellow dog nodded its head. It did not think that it succeeded by a lucky stroke as it actually received compliments from its owner, hence it was on cloud nine, and it secretly showed off to the black dog.

The black dog only looked at its muscles helplessly and thought, ‘These won’t be useful for scientific research, right?’

A short while after, it heard the yellow dog say, “Owner, let Brett follow me too. Its mythical metal body and its sturdiness probably has some research value; it’s perfect for being a research material. It’ll provide us with an early breakthrough for our work, we can first research fundamental theories related to body strengthening.”

“Uh…” When the black dog heard what it said, it was stunned. It wondered, ‘Old Yellow is really shameless, how can it treat me as a lab rat?’

Fang Ning nodded in agreement. “That sounds good too, the first step is always difficult, the black dog can also be the bodyguard of the academy, we can kill two birds with one stone. Let it follow you too then.”

The black dog realized that everything was decided, so it could only bow his head, and answered dispiritedly, “Yes, master.”

“Little Black, don’t be so dismayed, you must know that sacrificing for science is an honorable thing. Now, every beginning is tough, you must collaborate to build a solid foundation.” Fang Ning advised.

“Oh, I know, master. I’ll do my best to cooperate.” The black dog became slightly more uplifted.

Only when Fang Ning was done arranging matters, and seeing that the others began working, he sighed a breath of relief.

Sir was confused. “Ren Ruofeng and the others will work on this, why are we wasting the money? Although we have no understanding of science, I know that science consumes a lot of money.”

“You’re wrong. In the very beginning, the western people were able to develop modern science because it started from the folks, not the officials. Therefore, with the Era of Vitality, as the backbone of the people, we have to play our bits in order to form an atmosphere that will encourage the people to work on the scientific research on vitality.” Fang Ning explained earnestly.

“Uh, Mr. Rich Boss, when you become serious, I’m not really used to it. Are you having some mental issues? Why are you suddenly so passionate about encouraging improvement in science? Do you need me to inspect you?” Sir System hesitated.

“There’s nothing wrong with me, have you not heard of this? The world is run by lazy people because those who are lazy to work will invent a series of tools to replace their work… Today, I’m planting a seed that might save me a lot of work in the future.” Fang Ning uttered confidently.

“I see, I’m at ease then.” Sir nodded, then all of a sudden, its tone sounded hasty, “Oh no, you just reminded me that the seed we planted some time ago is probably fully developed now, I’ll have to go take a look.”

“Can you be clearer? My memory is not as good as yours.” Fang Ning was very speechless.

“Did you forget about the Divine Monument, the Earthly Monument, and the Mortal Monument?” Sir was discontented.

“Oh, you’re saying that Earthly Monument that was bred in the volcano. I really… Didn’t forget about it, looks like it’s time for us to check on it.” Fang Ning quickly covered it up.

He had really forgotten about this matter but obviously, Sir System would not forget about it. After all, that was the precious that it had preordained.

Afterward, Vigilante A dashed into the sky, and flew towards that volcano.

…

The volcanic rat who was also known as Devil Rat King and the “Infernal Flame” was bathing in the lava pool, and was extremely excited.

It was absorbing lava heat to nurture that mysterious treasure, which was almost close to completion now.

He believed that once its precious was out, he would leave the world in awe.

In the Demon Alliance, he would be exalted above everyone else.

As for those two competitors, one was exceptionally publicized and suppressed in an arcane realm, whereas another one was like a stray dog whereby after a few times of being hit in the face, it was no longer prestigious.

Among all, he was the only one who put great concentration into cultivating, and was finally going to achieve what he desired.

Just as expected, the one who held on till the end would be able to harvest fruit from it.
