Chapter 633: Do As One Pleases
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Fang Ning entered the System Space and went to the System Cyber Cafe with nimble limbs, with no signs of fatigue after running about the entire day.
On the contrary, he was in high spirits, and he turned on the computer with well-practiced familiarity.
However, what upset him was that although the novel was updated, he was concerned about a number of single-unit masterpieces that would be on sale soon. He had long coveted them and had already prepared the money needed to purchase the quality works...
As a result, developers had issued official statements one after another, requesting to integrate the realistic contents related to vitality cultivation in accordance to the latest requirements from above and passing through an audit, thus they had no choice but to bounce cheques again...
‘To the fans and consumers, I express my sincere apologies and heartfelt thanks...
‘If the integration doesn’t go well and it can’t pass the audit, it’ll obviously become another ‘Lifetime’ series.’
Fang Ning was shocked after seeing this. He was lazy and only stayed in the System Space all day.
Before he knew it, the general mood of the entire society had quietly changed.
Now, it was the third year of Shenyuan and various measures had already been implemented. Efforts were being made to promote the rapid transformation of society from the original Era of Technology to the Era of Vitality.
As long as the industry was linked to the ‘vitality industry’, they were on the right track and had constant favorable benefits. On the contrary, they would be subject to various implicit restrictions.
Tax, land use, employment, approval... There were too many means to regulate the above.
Therefore, many traditional industries had also started to innovate and try to keep pace with vitality.
For example, ‘vitality foodstuff’ and ‘vitality herbs’ were industries that began to develop early. They were more novel, had vitality tourism, and vitality health care...
Fang Ning was no stranger to these, let alone surprised.
In the past, he worked in the software industry. If he wanted to gain customer approval and sell more, he would have to hang up several frontier terms, and frontier innovations.
The software they made promoted the idea of ‘integrating information silos and establishing information superhighways’. After that was ‘big data’, and ‘artificial intelligence’, and most recently, it was ‘blockchains’...
Regardless of whether users really needed this technology or not, the concepts had to be integrated into the software in order to sell well.
Now, it seemed that before those great works of the era merge into the latest concepts, they could not be published...
Fang Ning was very depressed about this. However, he did not remain depressed too long. His inspiration struck, and he thought of a solution.
‘Why do I have to wait till they publish before playing?
‘I’m fully capable of finding those game companies through people and getting the internal testing version...’
He was a programmer, so he was clear about the processes here. Now, the internal testing version should already have almost all the functions that could be played.
‘Sigh, when a normal person works too much, he won’t be able to think of this method immediately. What a failure.
‘Having power was good. One can do whatever one wants...’
Fang Ning excitedly sent a WeChat message.
He took a fancy to a few next-gen games. Two were released by an American game developer, and the other one by Europe.
“Brother William, I’ve taken a liking to some games recently. Please help me get them...”
Fang Ning typed rapidly and was just about to send the message after finishing.
System Notification: [Your Internet connection has been disconnected.]
“Sir, what are you doing?” Fang Ning was very annoyed.
The consequences of interrupting a serious gamer right before playing were very severe.
“Does Vigilante A know how to play games?” The System said plausibly, “If you do this, won’t you destroy his public image and affect our future earnings? You just said not to ‘corrupt Vigilante A’s public persona’, did you forget already?”
“Uh...” Fang Ning really was momentarily speechless.
Everyone had their weaknesses. He was not a god, so he would naturally lose some judgment when it came to his greatest hobby.
“Ah, alright. I’ll just change the contents a little before sending the message. I definitely won’t corrupt his public image.” Fang Ning muttered.
Sir System saw that the message sent on WeChat changed to, “William, I recently toured the USA and found some evil beings who’re currently improving their wicked deeds and trying to spread terror through games. I have several targets I’m highly suspicious against, so help me get them here...”
“How’s that? This way, it’s in line with Vigilante A’s public image of hating evil and farming monsters.” Fang Ning said triumphantly.
“Oh, I forgot. You’re very good at conning. You’re an expert in using official authority for private interests.” The System was extremely gloomy.
“Watch what you’re saying. I’ve always been an honest programmer.” Fang Ning immediately retorted.
“How, how could you use my words?” The System said sullenly.
“Hurry up and give me back my Internet connection, otherwise not only will I use your words, but I’ll also even collect rent...” Fang Ning said rightfully.
“Hmph, you think you’re all that just because you have a house?” Sir System said in discontent.
“Heh, of course.” Fang Ning said triumphantly, “No matter how amazing you are, and how good you are at farming, I’m the landlord. You can only stay if I allow you to, and if I don’t, then you’ll just have to squat outside. Now stop speaking nonsense and give me back my Internet connection.”
System Notification: [Your Internet connection has been restored.]
The System really was decisive.
“Ah, damn. You scared me so much that I forgot. I could have just connected to the Internet spiritually...” Fang Ning suddenly thought about something and grew incredibly gloomy.
“Hehe, you’ve always been timid.” The System gloated.
“That’s alright. At least his public image wasn’t ruined.” Fang Ning was still satisfied.
He quickly pressed ‘send’.
Unfortunately, he did not receive a reply even after a while.
“Damn it, I forgot after being flustered again. I asked the wrong person. That William is probably having another sunset party again... He won’t have the time to check his phone.” Fang Ning was helpless and switched to another contact person.
He copied the message and sent it to ‘Robert’.
This time, he got a response immediately.
“Venerable One, please rest assured. I’ll have them send over the original version in half an hour.” Robert took charge of everything.
As a former investigator of the USA’s Special Affairs Investigation Bureau, something like that was naturally easy for him to do.
Now was not the time where you could do whatever you wanted with money. Now was the time you could do what you want with strength.
These Europe and American corporations were all somewhat afraid of backgrounds like the American Investigation Bureau.
If they did not cooperate, it was easy to say they were possessed by evil beings, and dragged off into an investigation.
Although Robert had lost this identity, do not forget that he still had people in the Investigation Bureau
He very quickly found Black Guy Jim, who once stabbed him in the back, and instructed him on the matter.
Thus, before even half an hour, Fang Ning got the three games he wanted with satisfaction.
A considerable amount of that time was used to transmit the games’ installation packages.
Although the download speed was 100 megabytes per second, three games and a few hundred gigabytes worth of game installation packages still required some time.
Fang Ning excitedly began to install the game. Every time he played a new game, he felt most excited not when he was playing the game, but when he was installing it.
The expectation towards the unknown was what excited him the most...
However, when the game finished installing and after Fang Ning clicked ‘Start Game’, the computer screen went black.
System Notification: [Your power supply has been disconnected.]
“What’re you doing?” Fang Ning said angrily, “Do you really want me to charge you rent?”
“Hehe, I also forgot. I’m also the landlord...” The System said plausibly, “Right now, aren’t you using my System Space?”
“Uh, you, how could you be this smart?” Fang Ning paled in shock, “Did I get seized by a different System?”
“Hmph, after all, I’m already an old System with fifty years worth of working experience. Don’t think you’ll be able to fool me as easily as before.” Sir System said gleefully.
“So, you think you’re all that just because you have working experience?” Fang Ning could not help but say.
“Sorry, but that’s right. No matter how smart and cunning you are, you only have the same tricks. I’ve suffered through all of them and I’m know all about them now. You can’t fool me anymore.” The System said firmly.
“F*ck...” Fang Ning had nothing to say.
