Chapter 805: Nightmare

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

On a flat meadow, there was a river flowing from the South to the North.

On the East side of the river, stood a small village.

The village looked dilapidated with most of the houses being madhouses made by the bricks of yellow mud. These muds were dried under the sun before being made into walls and held together by wooden poles to make an older-style house.

A group of children was running up and down by the riverbank, shouting and crying out loud while running through the village. Behind them, one could hear the shouting from the elderly.

One of the children who were in the middle had a good-looking face and was running along playfully with the other children.

Time passed and there was a sudden uproar at the village front where a group of people was creating trouble.

“We are not moving and that’s it! Why should our village be destroyed?” A group of strong men wielded iron shovels and wooden sticks were shouting.

“What’s going on?” The children were naturally unaware of the situation’s gravity. All they wanted was to join in the crowd and started gathering toward the noise.

One of the older children who acted as a leader quickly got a sense of the situation and turned to the younger kids.

“There will be digging the mines for coal. Our village will be destroyed.”

“We’ll no longer have land for farming and no houses to live in…”

“What are we going to do?”

“Are we going to be homeless like Ning Zi?”

“Ah…” Fang Ning woke up from his dream and sat upright on the bed in the lounge. He had a dazed look on him.

“Urm, Mr. Rich Boss, are you okay?” Sir System was concerned.

Fang Ning still looked dazed but replied slowly, “I had a nightmare.”

“Oh, is that it? No wonder your thoughts were in a mess and without logic. It was because you were dreaming,” Sir System was relieved.

“Damn it! Do you need to peek into my thoughts when I’m sleeping?” Fang Ning was speechless.

“It’s necessary of me. Don’t you know that a lot of spirits and demons are skilled at going into your dreams? For example, the Nightmare Demon we vanquished very long go,” Sir System was adamant.

Fang Ning did not know what else to say. He was feeling a little empty in his heart.

He had not had this dream since he started cultivating.

“Do I really no longer have a home??” He said to himself.

There were only thirty years left before moving after signing the contract with the gods.

It did not affect him when he was awake. In fact, he was thinking about stealing away to take a nap.

However, after falling asleep and having that dream, he realized that deep inside him, Fang Ning did not want to accept this reality.

“What nonsense are you talking about? We don’t need to move. That Moon Goddess was smart enough to give us leeway. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have let her off that easily,” Sir System huffed angrily.

“Well, you are right. But this planet is left with just a few cultivators, is it really still a home?”

Fang Ning remembered that scene in his dream. There was an empty, dilapidated house that he’d rather not stay in. He preferred to run off and have fun with all the other children.

“You’re in a depressed mood. That’s rarely seen. What exactly did you see in your dream?” Sir System was curious.

“Nothing, I’ve decided to work hard. There’s still thirty years to go. We’ll go head to head with them if we have to. There’s a chance we might win,” he gritted his teeth.

System Notification: (System is checking the Host’s mental health.

System detected Host is at stimulated stage.

Host mental health is normal.)

Fang Ning was speechless, “You really are worried.”

“Of course. We used to only handle demons and evil spirits. Now even the gods have started appearing. I would need to pay close attention in case they make an attack via you. I would be done,” Sir System was adamant.

Fang Ning had no retort for that. He lowered his head and said, “Thanks for your concern.”

He then immediately slipped away and ran straight for the System’s Cyber café.

“You’re incorrigible. Your sense of heroism only lasts for three seconds. How can you have fun after just making a promise?” Sir System said angrily.

“Stop maligning me, I haven’t even turned on my computer,” Fang Ning retorted as he started the computer.

The computer was turned on in five seconds. This was the advantage of using a high-end computer system. It could be turned on in seconds, a big plus to Fang Ning was always too lazy to clean up his computer programs…

Fang Ning did not click on the game menu nor his online novels, but he did open the files to ‘work’.

There was a list of files that fill up the screen.

“Summary Report for Third Year of Shenyuan – Zheng Dao.”

“Progress Report Regarding Morality City’s Herb Crops – Tom the Tiger.”

“Proposal for Next Stage Progress Key Points – Dragon Carp.”

“Analysis Regarding Several Prospects of Recursive Cycle Growth – Xue Ba.”

“Solution for Recent Properties in the Red – Zheng Dao.”

Every ‘unread’ marked on these files stood out like a sore thumb.

“Look at you, look at how lazy you are. These are all unread documents from the last year,” Sir System said indignantly.

“Well, it’s not really last year. These are from the last few days. Stop exaggerating,” Fang Ning said defensively.

After that, he started concentrating on the documents.

Time passed.

He stretched without saying anything and continued with the many documents.

With his intelligence, experience and the many networks he has accumulated, it was not hard to grasp the essential points.

After all, he was not a young man who has just stepped into society and had many years of working experience. Moreover, he had been running around with Sir System, which gave him a wider view of the world. Not to mention as well that cultivating had also helped increase his brainpower. Handling these documents was not an issue.

These documents did not involve any technical problems but were more about choice and judgment.

Outsiders could not make any of these decisions and he could not employ the help of a military advisor.

This was because the ultimate goal was to upgrade the System.

The System should not be exposed to outsiders.

Fang Ning gave his instructions one by one and compiled all the information into one conclusion.

He was very clear that everything led to accelerating the herb harvesting and alchemy, and in the end, nurture stronger evil spirits for Sir System to gain more experience points.

He understood the true aim of gold farming online games and there was only one truth.

“Do not ask me the strategy, if you can’t beat the enemy, just inject more money.”

The ultimate goal for all the work and effort was to make more money for Sir System.

“Wow, you’ve really impressed me. Have you had an epiphany?” Sir said disbelievingly as if the sun had just rose from the West.

“I don’t want to say anything. The only proof is by taking action. Silence is the best,” Fang Ning said casually.

“Wow, you really know how to put up an act,” Sir said thoughtfully.

“…” Fang Ning did not bother to explain but continued going through the documents to work on accumulating power.

Previously, he had mentioned a plan for growing the recursive cycle. Now would be the time to act on it.

However, it would bring about a huge depletion of funds as mentioned by Zheng Dao earlier.

Even though he did mention to maintain a balance by investing in the sales aspect, it was not an easy feat. Otherwise, there would not be so many issues with financial bankruptcy.

Now is the time for him to solve this problem.

It was unavoidable to hire cheap labor.

“It looks like the best way is to get help from that man in the black robe,” Fang Ning instructed in the documents.
