A few days later, Fang Ning stared at the system notifications happily. ‘It’s so nice to be able to stare as money rolls in…’
The System said jealously, “This stupid book could farm experience points as quickly as I do… I’ll have to tax it when it returns, it’s using up my Morality Bars to farm.”
Fang Ning was speechless at that. He said, “What? Did you want to tax my precious game book? No wonder you weren’t happy seeing the octopus slacking off. Then again, wouldn’t its power add to yours? The Morality my darling used up was nothing. Your Atmospheric Morality Technique has this ability called Morality Absorption. As long as you fight in areas where you are being worshiped, it would be refilled in no time. That’s exactly what an investment without a capital is.”
The System retorted, “You can’t trick me this time. It used up so much of my experience points, I have to earn it back from it. To prevent it from using up all the experience points, I shall make it cough up when it almost reached level twenty. I’m thinking about a million experience points per level up…”
Fang Ning rolled his eyes. He knew he would not be able to persuade the idiot on this.
He stopped talking and began to cultivate on his own. ‘Even my precious game book had started becoming strong, as a master, I can’t be too weak, or it would be so embarrassing…’
Unfortunately, he only managed to concentrate for two hours before he was cut off by a phone call from the great green insect.
Luckily, his body was being controlled by the System, and he had also memorized the Dragonization Ability that his spirit was cultivating. He could pause at any time without risking deviatory psychosis.
“Hey Daqing, what’s up? Have you already finished the snake that belongs to you?” He guessed subconsciously.
“Oh, I still have ways to go. Great green dragon, I won’t mind if you are willing to part with your half.”
Fang Ning rolled his eyes again. ‘Too bad, it’s not mine, that decision is not mine to make.’
“Excuse me, but you should finish your own portion first… Say, what did you call me for?” Fang Ning asked again.
“Oh, right. Remember before we killed the two snakes, I turned two of the boys into girls? I turned them back. Elder Gui Er couldn’t find new missions for me today, so he gave me a good idea. He asked me to open a webshop to specifically perform the Great Reversal skill on buyers and said it would definitely sell. So I came to ask you whether this counts as being self-sufficient…”
‘If this doesn’t count, what would?’
Fang Ning muttered as cold sweat covered his body.
He recalled the moment when the women turned back into men and still shuddered at the thought. It really was a spell that was completely unethical but seemed to have a really huge market for…
He said helplessly, “Of course it counts. You just have to apply for a license to legally open a business and have the guarantee that patients are willing… Actually, you have a huge advantage. I’m guessing you’ll force many departments in hospitals into a shutdown, as you can change your patients back without side effects.”
“Heh, Elder Gui Er said the same thing. Since you’ve agreed, I will ask Elder Gui Er to help me with the procedures. Haha, I will finally earn a huge amount of money, I won’t die of starvation anymore…” said the great green insect proudly.
Hearing that, Fang Ning could already imagine it in its arms akimbo stance…
‘It’s so nice to be young. An entrepreneur great green insect! It will soon no longer need to fly around to look for food. With its power, it has the ability to provide for itself that lasts thousands of years.’
However, Fang Ning thought about something and said. “Wait a second, I remember the artifact you used to cast the spell is a white jade piglet sculpture Tian Zhu has lent to you. I know that much. If you want to do this business, you have to divide the profit properly and not swallow the whole chunk yourself. She’s provided you with the production tool, you provide the manpower, you have to be clear on those.”
“Oh, it’s so complicated, I don’t understand at all. I’ll go and ask Sister Zhu Zhu,” said the great green insect as it hung up.
Within ten minutes, it called back excitedly.
“Sister Zhu Zhu said she doesn’t need the money, and I can use it all I want. She also said that she would look for me when she needs to use the piggy sculpture.”
Fang Ning had no words. ‘Another naive child.’ He said patiently, “Of course Tian Zhu wouldn’t calculate those with you, but since you’re opening a legitimate company, you should have a proper account with clear balances. Just let Gui Er worry about it for you, you can just be the doctor.”
…
In the vice captain’s office of the Think Tank Group of the headquarters of the Truth Department.
Racks of bookshelves displayed all sorts of poetry and ancient literature, as well as some literature-based magazines that showed the tastes of their owner.
Hong Yunjiao was looking over some documents. One by one, she commented on them.
At this moment, a document titled “Application to Use Spells Peacefully to Benefit the Society” appeared in front of her.
She picked it up nonchalantly. Applications like this had been increasing recently. Many people who managed to learn some spells had decided to stop cultivating and return to their secular lives.
After all, cultivation was hard work. Aside from using a good amount of time, many people would not be able to master what they wanted to master. For the people with less talent, it would have been a better choice to go for other paths.
Furthermore, longevity no longer necessarily required being a cultivator. It was said that some alchemy-based sects had already started researching on pills that can lengthen a person’s lifespan. As long as they could make plenty of money, they could just buy enough of those to live a long life.
After reading a few pages, her eyes lit up.
‘The Great Reversal of Heaven and Earth?
‘Sex change?
‘Why haven’t I thought of it?
‘This is a project that has perpetual needs in the society.’
She gave it a thought and flipped a few more pages before stamping a huge red “Approved” at the back. She then went out to pass the document back to the Special Affairs Department of a certain city in the south.
She walked briskly and passed by Ren Ruofeng’s office. Hearing the sighs and groans coming from inside, she thought, ‘Hmph, there are more things for you to cry about, you old man…’
…
At that moment, in a residence somewhere in the Truth Department.
Tian Zhu was enjoying the sun as she caressed her bulging belly.
She wore the smile of a loving mother and told her unborn child, “Piggy, don’t rush. As soon as you come out, you’ll have two papas. Aren’t you happy?”
“Mm, you’re happy, aren’t you? With the two Think Tank papas in the Truth Department and the invincible Uncle Dragon God outside of it to protect you, who would even dare to hurt my baby girl?”
Did anyone think she was weak? She was the one who made Ren Ruofeng into who he is today, she was not as weak as other people.
She was from the Azure Mountain, and where was that? That was a place of full of envious greens, where romantic tragedy dramas thrive.
As the Guardian Goddess of the Azure Mountain, even though she had yet to experience it, she had seen it happen enough.
Her experience in the romance department was so much richer than both Hong Yunjiao and Ren Ruofeng, it would have been appropriate to describe the difference as a lake and a pond.
She was low-profile, classy, and cultured. Being a third person in a relationship, she had managed to elevate her status to a heroine with two husbands with the classy strategy of non-contest…
With that done, who else would say that her child was an illegitimate child?
…
In the Isle of Qiongzhou where the Whitestone people lived, there was a group of uninvited guests.
“Heh, Leader Shi Gan, you’re famous in you spiritual sensing technique. Do you still recognize me?” An old man of small stature asked as he stroke his beard.
The leader of the Whitestone people was a tall stone-person. Shi Gan, who looked the most similar to human out of all of the rest, said as he frowned, “The Greater Rat King. I heard you have descended early on. Is there anything I could help with ow that you’re looked for me? We have never really interacted with each other.”
Elder Ancestor Bai smiled. “Leader Shi is really impressive. Even if most of your power was lost, your natural talent inherited from your ancestors was still so sharp.”
He complimented, but Shi Gan’s face did not change.
“My purpose here today was to invite your clan to build a business with us.” Elder Ancestor Bai stopped beating around the bush. He knew that he needed to be straightforward when dealing with these square-headed stones.
They would not have understood him if he had tried to dance around his intention…
“Build a business together? I didn’t know the Whitestone people were so popular among the humans and the Greater Rat Clan even though we were looked down upon by our brethren. Both of you have come to us asking for a collaboration, but I’m afraid I will have to politely decline. We don’t want to be too involved with this world. We only wanted to work in our fields and live.” Shi Gan shook his head.
“Leader Shi, please don’t refuse us so swiftly. Listen to our terms, we’ll offer you something much better than the Truth Department.” A young-sounding voice called out.
Shi Gan nodded as he gathered his patience to listen on.
Most of his power had been lost, and the Elder Ancestor Bai had always been known as a cunning and powerful individual ever since he was in the Upper Realm.
They were not a local establishment and did not have strict regulations to restrict them. It would have been better to be more cautious.
The young man was Nie Yuan. He chose his words carefully as he described his plan, it was Bai Shixin’s computerized informatization method, which was combined with the occupational lures he had proposed—such as minister of education or the chief judge—as well as the clan-wide culture.
Nie Yuan persuaded as hard as he could. This was his first time leading a persuasion, if he could win over some of the Whitestone people, it could prove his usefulness.
It was unknown why his guide claimed to have health issues again and did not come along, so it was his chance to shine.
Shi Gan nodded. He could tell their difference from Ren Ruofeng of the Truth Department. Even though they have their own ulterior motives, their intention to reform the Greater Rat Clan was true.
“It would be easier to draw on a piece of white paper than—”
Could a clan of newborn Greater Rats be the foundation of a new, honest world?
He nodded, interrupting Nie Yuan who was still pitching.
He said, “Young man, your pitch was good. Now, if you’d entertain one of my questions, I might consider aligning with you.”
Nie Yuan was thrilled to hear that.
Elder Ancestor Bai nodded in approval.
“Can you lead by example and be honest to your friends, your partner, and the society?”
“Of course I can,” uttered Nie Yuan and immediately regretted as he realized what he had done.
As expected, in the next moment, he saw Leader Shi Gan shook his head as he smiled wryly.
“Another one who only uses lies to bind another. Leave us. How can you expect someone else to achieve what you could not? We will build an honest world with our own two hands.”
Nie Yuan paled. Elder Ancestor Bai sighed deeply and left along Nie Yuan without glancing back.
He had risked a lot by coming out. There was someone in the air who had not forgotten about him. He remembered clearly how the person had looked at him.
He would not force these rockheads. This was because he wanted a group of trustworthy underlings, not a bunch of unstable bombs that could go off at any time.
His only miscalculation was that he should have brought Bai Shixin instead of Nie Yuan.
Even a wise man may sometimes make mistakes.
