Fang Ning stretched fully, his mouth going wide in a yawn. He was exhausted.
The System accused, “Are you finally awake? I’ve been farming for eight days and eight nights straight and even I’m not as tired as you, and you’ve had chances to sleep every day.”
Fang Ning retorted, “Do you think I’m a non-human like you? I maintained Fury Mode for so long I felt like I was going to explode where I stood. I’ll be taking another nap after going through our rewards, and don’t you stop me.”
The System Notifications read, [The System activated True Dragon mode.]
[The System used Esoteric Skill “Flame Dragon Devours The Sky”.]
[The System has swallowed the Mutated Giant Yellowjacket Boss, which can be used as the base for a variety of medicinal pills.]
[The System used Esoteric Skill “Dragon’s Storm Breath”.]
[The System killed Elite Mutated Giant Yellowjacket…]
[The System killed Elite Evolved Mutated Giant Yellowjacket…]
[The System has swallowed all Mutated Giant Yellowjacket carcasses, which have all been reserved in the Alchemy Lab.]
[…]
[The System obtained four million experience points.]
[The System has temporarily stopped a serious threat to the people of China. Favorability with Celestial Dragon Forms of all Attributes has increased slightly.]
[The System obtained a large amount of Heroic Fame, Reputation has upgraded to “Reputable Figure”, Morality Bar increased by one. Due to the effect of “Morality Envelopment” from “Incomplete Version Atmospheric Morality Technique”, total number of Morality Bars have increased to ten.]
[The System obtained a large amount of Morality, all ten Morality Bars have been replenished.]
[The System obtained the “Element Replenishment Sarira pearls” Talisman, which contains a large amount of magical energy. When fully exhausted, it can act as a equipment to reserve magical energy or vital energy.]
[The System obtained “Four Symbols Sealing Formation” Formation Map, “Four Symbols Sealing Formation” can now be activated.]
After reading the notifications, Fang Ning was more than satisfied. He immediately felt less sleepy than before and he proudly said, “If you add everything together, you’ve already obtained around seven million experience points and a whole bunch of medicinal herbs. Not only that, you were also gifted two treasures from other people. Thanks to my thorough contemplation, I’ve just asked somebody from the Truth Department to bring Xue Ba here.
“It has a very receptive nose, it could even smell a semblance of your presence and principles. Once it arrives, it can help us track down that Insect Demon for sure. Then we’ll not only get a whole bunch of experience points, we might even get a treasure deposited into our inventory. You can spend the next half a year farming normal criminals after the rewards this round.”
The System answered, “Stop all that babbling, just say you want a Mission Reward…”
“Then you should know what to do, I’ve contributed quite significantly this time. I even passed out a few times from exhaustion, which has never happened before…”
“After we capture that Insect Demon, I’ll give you a week of Relief Time. You can use this body as you please, just don’t do anything illegal.”
“That’s not bad. When was the last time I could use my own body? But don’t I get a bit of prize money too?”
“I’ll give you 2.5 million for investment into new games too.”
“Why is it always 2.5 million?”
“Then I’ll deduct a zero at the end and give you half a million.”
“What an impressive way to deduct a zero, but I’m not as stupid as you. Ten million, no negotiating.
“I’ll transfer it to you later.”
Fang Ning contentedly returned to the System Cyber Café; instead of booting up a game, he immediately fell asleep. To ensure that the System wouldn’t disclaim his System Reward, he had resisted his sleepiness during their negotiations…
Just as he was about to fall asleep on the floor, Fang Ning suddenly felt that something just did not seem right, ‘How stupid of me, I could’ve asked for a bed in the System Cyber Café, but I just thought of it. I guess the System’s diagnosis in the beginning really was accurate, I really do have the final stage of the final stage of Severe Procrastination…’
Fang Ning then spoke up, “Sir System, go through your Reserve Space and see if you have a mattress or pillows or something similar. I deserve at least a bed to sleep in.”
Right after he finished speaking, a System Notification popped up.
[The System expended 100 thousand experience points to construct a Basic Lounge. Effect: Host’s energy restoration accelerated slightly.]
Fang Ning then saw a grass-green building appear next to the System Cyber Café. He pushed the door open and entered the building to see it was furnished with a desk and a chair, as well as a sofa and a bed.
Fang Ning voiced his dissatisfaction, “Wow, you’re so stingy, Sir System. It only needed a bit of experience points and yet you didn’t build one earlier; I could’ve saved so much time sleeping.”
The System retorted back with one of his own, “You’re calling 100 thousand experience points a bit? You spend a lot more time playing than sleeping, so if you play less you can sleep more. That bit of accelerated restoration won’t do you much good.”
“Then when we faced off against those Giant Yellowjackets, I took so many naps to restore my energy but why didn’t you build me one then?”
“You didn’t mention anything…”
Fang Ning was speechless, “Just say you felt that I didn’t need one and wanted to pin the blame on me and be done with it. Why did you make it green anyways? Green makes me really uneasy now, so quickly change a color.”
“Doesn’t green signify restoration of health? If you want to get the color changed, just wait until I level up again.”
Fang Ning was once again rendered speechless, and so he decided to fall right asleep on the bed.
…
Xue Ba sat on the flying sword obediently as it flew towards where Vigilante A was. The extra load made traveling much slower and it could no longer travel thousands of miles in a single breath anymore. It could also be because Xue Feng wanted to guarantee safety and no longer accelerated it to its highest speed.
This instead gave Xue Ba the chance to comment on things unnecessarily, “This speed is unsatisfactory, but I think it’s just because you have not mastered your skill properly. Being a delivery person or a driver would suit you better. In the heat of battle, you’ll be defeated in two or three moves.”
Xue Feng was worse than Fang Ning at speaking to strangers, let alone a dog.
Although he knew that a dog that could speak meant that it must have extraordinary origins and that he should instead be asking it for advice, Xue Feng remained quiet anyways. After sending Xue Ba to its destination, he nodded his head at Vigilante A and left.
Sir System was no better himself; if Xue Feng didn’t say anything, then he won’t have to fork out a payment…
He meant this as a joke of course, nobody would dare to ask for payment from Vigilante A. One of the important matters the Truth Department was dealing with now was calculating just how many Mission Rewards they should award Vigilante A…
Fang Ning could only nap for ten minutes before he was woken up.
Fang Ning appeared in White Dragon Form, a Giant Yellowjacket carcass in his grasp, “That was fast, Xue Ba. Come here and take a whiff of this, can you sense who was the one controlling it?”
Xue Ba’s nose twitched twice before it said, “This Mutated Giant Yellowjacket reeks of the Insect Demon and the Insect Mother; it was obviously birthed from her pair of lits. The pair of them have been wreaking havoc on this world for too long; despite committing so many atrocities, they’ve always managed to slip the net.”
Fang Ning was incredibly pleased with Xue Ba’s performance; it identified everything immediately by smell. It seemed that it would be quite possible for them to locate the Boss behind-the-scenes; there was two of them too, which was even better.
Fang Ning then asked, “Can you locate them?”
Xue Ba hesitated for a bit before speaking, “I might be able to locate the Insect Mother. But that Insect Demon has always not only a lot of body clones, but it has been exceptionally good at hiding its true body too; locating it might be much more difficult. As long as it doesn’t die, it can resurrect the Insect Mother and start everything over from scratch. Despite the numerous powerhouses in the previous world, they still could not eradicate it despite multiple sieges on their hives.”
Fang Ning felt an immediate disappointment; Sir System might seem invincible now, but its one weakness was those enemies that hid themselves completely. This problem still hasn’t been solved yet.
Fang Ning has always been a loner, although he could access the Truth Department’s intelligence network to some extent now, the enemy’s limitations weren’t all that small either. It didn’t help that the deep sea and the underground were Information Restricted Areas either. He could only hope that once more parts of the System Map were unlocked, a new ability would unlock together as well.
Fang Ning then said, “Forget it, killing an Insect Mother alone is better than killing nothing at all. Let’s go look for it.
Xue Ba immediately nodded its head vigorously, “Please follow me, Venerable One.”
Right after Xue Ba said this, its silhouette sped off in one direction. The speed at which it took off could rival that of Vigilante A while he was chasing the insect swarm.
Fang Ning was in awe, ‘This yellow dog has only spent the last ten days or so living comfortably, and yet its speed has restored to this level.’
It seemed that there was more pressure on Sir System than he thought, he would have to intensify training before more fellows make their advent into this world. Of course, this burden will still be handled by Sir System, Fang Ning just had to cheer him on while he controlled the overall situation…
…
In a deep cave somewhere.
The Insect Demon was pacing back and forth in the same spot, but its face showed no sign of defeat, “Hahahaha! I see, I see! I may have lost, but I have also succeeded!”
The Insect Mother said nothing as the Insect Demon continued laughing in glee.
“When that dragon faced off against the Yellowjacket swarm at the end, it must have used some technological power from this world to avoid being hurt. The previous True Dragon would have never been able to do something like this.
“As fate turned out, that is also something I’m currently focused on researching. I’ve always wanted to see whether or not their nuclear weapons could mutate the swarm further using technological power; however, none were brave enough to let me continue. Sure enough, even a blind person could see just what advantages the humans of this world hold. That dragon definitely must have succeeded using technological power.
“It had completely defeated all previous forms of our power, but its performance just now only confirms my theory even more. As long as I’m given a bit more time, I can create a never-before-seen super swarm. When that time comes, that dragon won’t be able to act as it pleases anymore, hahaha!”
The Insect Mother panted, paying no heed to the Insect Demon’s post-combat analysis.
Its physique had shrunk from the size of a blue whale to that of a normal rhinoceros after eight continuous days of combat; anyone could see the toll that it had taken.
After panting for a while longer, the Insect Mother hesitated for a moment before speaking, “Let’s not talk about that first. Since we’ve worn it down quite significantly, we should make our escape. Since that Bai family’s Elder Ancestor could locate this place, we aren’t exactly in a fully secure location.”
The Insect Demon continued nonchalantly, “What are you afraid of? That old fart has always cared and worried too much. He would never take revenge on us by leaking our whereabouts. I’m trying to figure out just what technological power that dragon used, so we’ll talk about moving in a few more days.”
The Insect Mother’s dozens of compound eyes flashed with something indiscernible before she made a decision of her own.
A while later, while the Insect Demon was busy analyzing the entire battle process and seemed to be on the brink of figuring it out, a peaceful voice emitted from within the cave.
“Million Ghosts’ Soul Consumption…”
