Chapter 627: Recharged to the Max

Fang Ning’s head ached. The System was clueless about many things, but not combat.
“Haven’t you always paid to defeat your enemies? Why don’t you recharge another amount today?” suggested Fang Ning as the idea popped up in his head.
“Nonsense. Will I need you to remind me if I can solve this by recharging? Things are different now. The monsters are very strong and I haven’t accumulated enough experience; not even recharging can help...” said the System resentfully.
“I know, I know. The money to be recharged in the early game is completely different than the money to be recharged mid-game. It only takes thirty dollars to get from V0 to V1, but it costs a million dollars to get from V12 to V13...” said Fang Ning relatably.
“Huh, did you secretly recharge in the game using my money? Your little treasure chest was empty the last time I checked.” The System realized suddenly
“You’re accusing me without proof again. I’m recalling my previous experiences in other games, not this one.” Fang Ning argued sternly.
“The more I hear about it, the more convinced I am that it was that game that you’ve played recently. The game had the exact same money-recharging method for its VIP level,” said the System skeptically.
“Let’s stop talking nonsense. There are still monsters outside.” Fang Ning quickly changed the topic.
“I’m using two surveillance threads to monitor it. If it dares to run, I’ll kill it immediately. It won’t live to see another day,” said the System angrily.
“Let me think about it. Oh, Chong Daqing said it was sent by Qiao Zijiang. Isn’t she from the Special Investigation Unit? There is also Qiao Zishan and his group who haven’t appeared for a while now. They’re the ones who issued the announcement; we should ask them for help.”
“What use will the bunch of weaklings have? In the end, we might end up protecting them instead...” said the System indifferently.
“You’re too proud and too arrogant. Even the weak little Crimson-mantled Woodpecker did what you couldn’t do. Every existence in the world has its own purpose. You even said so yourself,” lectured Fang Ning.
“Actually, I don’t really believe that,” said the System in regret. “Most existences in the world are trash, for example...”
“What example? Look outside carefully, we’re now in a war.” Fang Ning felt uneasy and interrupted the idiot immediately, then he went on Wechat.
...
Currently, the Poisonous Rainbow Snake outside did not have any intention of leaving.
Vigilante A kept quiet. He floated in midair and was examining it carefully without making a sound.
It seemed like this was not a talkative BOSS; there should be a degree of complication to kill it.
Suddenly, the snake moved. It was casually spitting out a mouthful of venom to the side, like how one would spit at the roadside.
Vigilante A dodged.
The venom splashed onto where Vigilante A originally was. A sudden fragrance wafted into the air, coloring the small area in rainbow colors. It was very pleasing to the eyes, yet absolutely no one would want to get close to it.
“Not bad, I didn’t expect you to be this alert. You’re not useless, after all. It’s no wonder he treasures you greatly,” sighed the Poisonous Rainbow Snake while shaking its triangular head.
‘The existence that could ambush the System successfully was probably yet to be born.’ thought Fang Ning indifferently as he watched the scene from the System Space.
Unnoticed by anyone, the tramp who shrunk into a ball on the grassy park recovered what little courage he had to move. He was witnessing a fight between Gods.
Although he was not clear how the snake got out from his body, he understood that if he let it retreat into his body again, he probably would not be able to live for long...
He had never heard about anyone who survived after hosting a parasitical snake in his body...
He did not dare to sit up. He laid on the ground and slowly shuffled backward with both hands, careful with each of his step.
In spite of his careful attempts, every little movement he made was as clear as day to the two beings floating in midair.
“It seems like this trash is losing its usefulness as well. I should clean him up and clear up space for a more useful fellow to consume Vitality...”
The tramp heard the words and paled immediately. He started to use all his limbs, wanting to quickly escape from the damnable place.
Yet, how quick could he go with those gammy limbs of his?
At that moment, Vigilante A said suddenly, “What good will it be to you if you kill them?”
Naturally, a question like this was relayed by Fang Ning through the System...
“Of course it will benefit me,” the Poisonous Rainbow Snake raised its head, seeming like it had given up on attacking. “Killing off useless garbage will make me the cleaner of the land; I’ll prevent the new land from repeated mistakes.”
Its words seemed to have revealed something great.
“Cleaner? You’ve clearly said this before, ‘It seems like this isn’t an easy task...” You’re just an underdog, you don’t have to pretend to be noble,” said Vigilante A lightly.
Hearing that, the Poisonous Rainbow Snake glared at him with a hint of coldness.
“Hmmph, what do you know? I know your reputation, hehe. You act like you’re high above everyone, using the pretense of righteousness. But you’re still just a pawn for those holy immortals and Buddhas! You charge into danger and risk your own life, yet they only wait to enjoy the results!”
Hearing that, Vigilante A paused as though contemplating something.
The Poisonous Rainbow Snake did not use the opportunity to attack him. It was unsure as to what it was calculating.
Hearing that, the System was hit by a sudden realization, “It’s right. I fight in their front lines. What Bodhisattva Spirit King or River God of the Sky River? They cower behind me and reap what I sow. That can’t do, I have to make them pay...”
“Damn... I actually thought that you’re experienced by now and won’t get tricked easily. In the end, you’re still the same. This is our enemy. After listening to its nonsense, you’re already considering turning your back?” Fang Ning was at a loss for words.
“A wise man once said, reason doesn’t have a side; it’s applicable to everyone,” said the System confidently. “Of course, I won’t turn my back, but it has reminded me that I actually have a lot of debt to collect.”
“Then, you still have to choose your time. Is this the time to ask people for money?” said Fang Ning in disbelief.
“Alright, after this fight, I’ll go back and collect money from them,” said the System with a heavy heart.
“Stop it, your words might bring bad luck, take it back,” said Fang Ning in panic.
...
At this moment, a crowd already formed quietly in the distance, witnessing the whole incident.
“Strange, in all his history of exterminating evil, the fights have always been high-profile and grand. So why is he giving empty threats this time?” A young lady who dressed up splendidly frowned, unable to understand the scene in front of her. She was about the age of eighteen or nineteen.
“Zijiang, be polite. Just because you managed to reach Pond-level with help from some external forces, it doesn’t mean you can disrespect the Venerable One. You’re still far from being comparable to the Venerable One,” lectured a man with an aged face as he turned around to face the young lady.
“I know, brother.” Qiao Zijiang turned her gaze to the scene before her, contemplating.
After a while, no one knew what she was doing, but a black snake crawled out from her left palm lazily.
“Long Fan, all the training we’ve ever had is for today. You’ve achieved Pond-level, and today is the day you’ll impress everyone,” said Qiao Zijiang encouragingly.
The black snake did not respond. It only assessed the fight before it silently and then immediately curled into a ball in her palm, hiding its head in its body.
“Can’t win. I’m not going,” said the snake while shaking its head.
“Are you even a male snake? Grow some balls,” teased Qiao Zijiang.
“If I join in, I’ll lose my balls.” The black snake shook its head strongly.
Based on its instincts and memories as an Upper Realm snake demon, everything reminded Long Fan that a small Pond-level snake like itself could not even come up to a single scale from that rainbow-colored snake!
“It’s not like you’ll die. If you die, I’ll just revive you,” encouraged Qiao Zijiang.
“Hehe, it was like this before. But if this fellow kills me, you might not have the capability to revive me.” After it reached Pond-level, it already cleaned up the memories of the snake demon that consumed its body. It knew exactly what would happen.
No matter what, he would not join in the fight. Did she not notice that her own brother only gave lip service and was not actually making a move?
