Chapter 115: Extend Your Head over Here, System, Let Me Buff You
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Everyone, today is the day we come together to save Butler Zheng! Now is the time for all of us to be fight courageously so that we can save Butler Zheng from the grave danger he is in! We are going to do this with the power of loyalty between brothers and the bond between peers. First, check if you’re all equipped completely. Brett, have you done your stretching properly? Xue Ba, see if your helmet is on properly…”
A white dragon hovered in mid-air, its expression serious. It watched over everyone as it gave its orders.
Its tone was encouraging, its demeanor confident. Sadly, all that were present for it could not clap…
All that were present were the yellow and black dogs.
The yellow dog shook its head before its front paws reached upwards to adjust its helmet. It answered in high spirits, “Venerable One, your humble subordinate is done with inspections and can leave immediately.”
The black dog did a few push-ups before it stretched its entire body as it exclaimed, “Venerable One, your humble subordinate is also done with inspections and can also leave immediately.”
Fang Ning was incredibly pleased; although having only two lackeys wasn’t a lot, but that did not matter as long as they were of high quality. Once this pair of dogs had fully replenished their power, they were easily on par with Bai family’s Elder Ancestor.
However, it was also possible that once their power had fully recovered that the Bai family’s Elder Ancestor would have improved significantly too.
After giving his inspiring speech, Fang Ning returned to the System Space.
The System said, “The followers are done with preparations. Are you done with preparations, Host?”
Fang Ning felt slightly uneasy, “I have preparations to make? I’m the commander, I don’t need to prepare. Although our information shows that our enemies are great in number, but they’re all only unimportant pawns, the Super Boss won’t appear. You don’t even need to Dragonize; all I have to do is cheer you on, so I don’t have anything I need to prepare.”
The System retorted, “No, you listen to me when it comes to matters concerning combat. How can you say that it’ll be a certain victory? Ample preparation must be done so that all accidents can be avoided.
“Come on now, help yourself. I’ve prepared everything for you. I’ve deducted everything from our combat budget, so you don’t need to pay…”
As the System spoke, thuds resounded throughout the System Space while books fell to the floor.
Fang Ning glanced through the titles of the books and famous titles stared right back at him.
“XX”, “XXX”, “XXXX”, “XXXXX”…
Fang Ning did not even need to read the books because looking at the first letter of the titles were more than enough to fill his heart with dread…
“Let’s talk about the effects of reading these novels. I read some online reviews from book clubs that reading the physical version of tdidhis type of novels gives the reader more feeling,” lilted the System, “They said reading the novels like this would give you a better sense of authority and reality. Apparently humans believe physical books better than electronic ones…”
A System Notification popped up then, [The Host has entered “Intense Fury Mode”, all three Aggro Bars have been fully replenished.]
The System then said, “As expected, the efficiency really is much higher than reading electronic versions…”
Fang Ning was speechless, “You’re vicious. How are you, the main assault frontline, going to prepare?”
The System answered, “You’ll know after reading the Notifications. I have another surprise for you. Since there’s no need to face a Super Boss, you should join the battle and get used to the atmosphere of battle. I’ve purposely prepared an exclusive weapon for you…”
After hearing that he would be getting such a huge benefit, Fang Ning’s fury immediately quelled. His eyes glimmered as he said, “Show me, quickly. I don’t know what you were doing before either, I didn’t see any System Notifications…”
A System Notification appeared then, [The System consumed experience points to level up to 15. Health points increased, Morality increased, 4 Attribute Points gained. All Attribute Points distributed to Perception.]
[Base Aggro Bars increased by one, total Aggro Bars is 4 now. Effect of Aggro Bracelet: Stores Aggro, maximum reserve of Aggro is twice the number of current Base Aggro Bars, 8 Aggro Bars can be stored. Current total Aggro Bars is 12.]
[The System consumed a large amount of experience points to upgrade “Atmospheric Morality Technique” complete version to Intermediate Level. The System is affected by new buffs:
1. Morality Envelopment. Current level allows for storage of twice the amount of Morality of current Morality Bars. Current Morality Bars increased to 18.
2. Bonus to all martial arts whenever Morality is expended, current bonus at 50%.
3. New function to Morality Module added. “Morality Shelter” Ability has been expanded with “Morality Absorption”. If the System is battling in an area where it has a reputation of “Local Worship”, Morality Bar will replenish slowly.]
[The System consumed 100 experience points to rename beginner-level game book “Life Online” to “I’ll Burn You If You Continue to Judge Carelessly!”]
[The System consumed 5000 experience points to expand beginner-level game book with a new functional module: Character Attribute Interface.]
[The System consumed 500 thousand experience points to affix a new Attribute: “Indestructible”.]
[The System consumed 500 thousand experience points to affix another new Attribute: “Automatic Recovery”.]
[The System consumed 500 thousand experience points to affix another new Attribute: Beginner-level “IQ Strike”. Effect: If casted right at the back of an enemy’s head, there is a low chance of lowering the enemy’s IQ slightly for 24 hours. More effects will be added after leveling up.]
Fang Ning was speechless after reading the Notifications, what a surprise indeed.
After reading everything, he searched around him for something. After a while, he finally found the upgraded game book in a corner of the System Space.
The original book still looked like a book despite its rough appearance. Now, it looked nothing like what it was. It was entirely black and hard to the touch.
The cover was significantly damaged and a long row of words were printed on it, which was the title that had appeared in the System Notifications.
“My poor game book. Whose vengeful hands did you fall into for you to become like this?” Fang Ning held the book delicately in his games, his hand caressing it over and over, “It’s okay, don’t be afraid. That idiot probably made another bug. It already gave you the “Indestructible” Attribute, so you don’t have to be scared that it’ll burn you. The next time another Mission comes in, you just have to remember to continue judging as before.”
Right after Fang Ning finished speaking, the game book trembled slightly in his hands, as if it had understood him.
The System spoke up. “Host, don’t you dare sow discord the relationship between my son and I. It is a treasure that I crafted with my own two hands. I’m its daddy, why would I hurt it…”
This moment, the book left Fang Ning’s grasp and started floating upward. It hovered in mid-air and it’s cover flapped up high. The words “I’ll Burn You If You Continue to Judge Carelessly!” could be seen as clear as day…
The System was speechless.
As they had previously interacted before when submitting missions, Fang Ning wasn’t the least bit shocked at the game book’s performance. Instead, he took the chance to take advantage of the System’s misfortune.
“Sir System, the exclusive weapon will need a sacrifice. There’s only the two of us in this System Space, so you’ll have to play that role.
“It just so happens that I don’t know where your head is either, so quickly extend your head over and let me take a look. That’ll let me test out the ability effect of this exclusive weapon too. Let’s see if I can buff you with lowered intelligence because I’ve realized that you’re always meddling in things after your intelligence increased…”
The System ignored Fang Ning and was already controlling Vigilante A to run speedily in a certain direction…
The two dogs followed closely behind, their posture stable as they ran like the wind. They did not fall behind their Master at all.
Fang Ning immediately halted the reckless idiot, “Don’t waste your energy. We can just call for that free ‘Flight’…”
The System stopped and said, “Why didn’t you say so earlier…”
…
The place they had agreed to meet Qiao Zijiang was a mountainous area in the areas in the middle of China. It was deserted and barely a soul passed by the place.
Qiao Zijiang had long already sent the map and coordinates to them.
Xue “The Flight” Feng arrived once he was called. He sent them to their destination in the blink of an eye and left with a bow.
Right after they had landed, Fang Ning emerged from the System Space in his White Dragon form.
Before them was a narrow valley with tall trees and mountains lining both sides of the valley; most of the trees were bare and dry with only a few still green and dense with leaves. The forest was quiet; not even the sound of the birds and insects could be heard.
Right in the middle was a winding river that flowed towards the distance. They had landed on a cobblestone shore by the side of the river, and it was the only flat land for miles.
Once Fang Ning took notice of the terrain, he immediately felt slightly claustrophobic. He scanned his surroundings and realized the problem. It was much too quiet here.
A while later, he saw a group of people walking towards them from the distance.
Once Fang Ning scanned the group of people, he subconsciously looked towards his own surroundings before nodding his head; they had about the same number of people, which was good enough.
The group of people was in fact Qiao Zijiang and her party.
Leading the group was the older-looking Qiao Zishan and by his side strode the younger-looking Qiao Zijiang.
Behind them was a classy-looking woman in green; the “Lilac in the Rainy Alley” from the video.
Next to the woman in green was another woman in a blue cheongsam 1 , her face cool and emotionless.
Fang Ning saw the unfamiliar woman and sifted through his memories of the profiles that Zheng Dao submitted to him weekly, before finally remembering that this cool middle-aged woman was probably “Hai Lan”. According to her data, she and Qiao Zishan were also long-distance running mates.
She had actually appeared during the banquet at the Institute for Special Training but Fang Ning did not meet her personally. Being the slacker that he is, he had taken the opportunity to play games for two days straight while the System ate and drank to its heart’s content.
He could recognize her entirely because Zheng Dao’s profiles were updated regularly. Fang Ning had decided that he did not need to meet her personally.
Behind them was another person that had Fang Ning rubbing his eyes. He couldn’t believe what he was saying; an old friend had arrived too. However, this old friend had probably never seen him before.
That person was Director Mo of Qi City’s Special Affairs Department.
Although he was already in his 30s, the other man was as thin as before. Despite wearing glasses, the aura about him wasn’t as refined as Zheng Dao’s; instead, it was a calm aura with a hidden edge.
Next to him walked a young man with a proud air; despite walking in the last row, he was still in high spirits.
Fang Ning had never seen this person before, so he sifted through his memories of the profiles that Zheng Dao had submitted again before finally finding out the person’s name and relationship with the Department.
He was Hai Cheng, Hai Lan’s younger brother. He was 27 years old and also the current leader of the Hai clan. He was also known as “Red-eyed Celestial Gaze” and he had a double A grade for Vitality Cultivation Proficiency. He was extremely skilled at determining power types and the strength of one’s power presence.
The party of six had Fang Ning pursing his lips; it wasn’t much pressure. He had four in his party; but of course Sir System alone was more than enough to defeat them all.
