Chapter 166: Harvest Ceremony

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The System faked its injury and cultivated in isolation for a day, before calling Zheng Dao over.

Vigilante A said with a calm voice, “Butler Zheng, the day before you said that President Zhao and the rest are planning to organize a ceremony for their harvest. Go and inform them that I will be there on that day.”

Zheng Dao was shocked, “Venerable One, yesterday you just said you were injured and need to rest in isolation for a few days. It’s only been a day, I really think you should reject their invitation”

Fang Ning thought, ‘The System is more dedicated than you could ever imagine. Even if he was really, hurt he’d still go. Besides, this is all just part of the act.’

Vigilante A replied, “Because of this, I must go now to avoid others from knowing I am hurt. Go and arrange it for me.”

Zheng Dao’s face turned serious. He hesitated for a moment and didn’t try to convince him. He left to inform President Zhao and the rest.

…

Three days later, the secret valley of Qi City, originally a quiet place, was crowded with people as a huge ceremony was in preparation.

To the west wall of the valley was a door, and inside the door was a tunnel, brightly lit and covered with red carpet. On the red carpet were those rich and famous people, walking in with their wives or partners.

A plain field in the middle of the valley was decorated for the main ceremony venue. The seats were arranged and the tables were decorated with fruits and flowers. Pots and plants were placed in the surroundings. In the middle of the venue was a green stage made of stone. Although it was winter season, the temperature in the valley was slightly warmer, similar to how it would be between spring and summer.

The chairperson of the Qi City Chamber of Commerce, Liu Shiliang, was standing by the door with his fat tummy and smiling face, welcoming the visitors. Any one of these people had the potential to be the next huge customer, so of course, he needed to greet them with a smile.

This valley belonged to the Vitality Herb Plantation Company. Its full name was Qi Sheng New Herbs Plantation Limited. Most of the investors and shareholders for the company were from the Chamber of Commerce. However, the biggest shareholder wasn’t anyone from the Chamber of Commerce, Vigilante A, who never invested a single cent.

President Zhao and Chairman Liu gave him 25% of the share from the new company, this on the surface was as a reward for him choosing the plantation ground and for the work done by the group of rats that completed the ground works. However, the most important thing that wasn’t mentioned but obvious to everyone was to get Vigilante A’s support.

As for Fang Ning, he invested $20 million using his real identity and he only owned less than 5% of the total shares. This was the difference in abilities between him and Vigilante A…

“Master Ma, welcome. You should have told us you are coming, then I would have personally gone and picked you up,” Fatso Liu saw an elderly with white hair and a man bun wearing a black gown walking through the tunnel and immediately walked towards him.

The elder was very polite and replied, “I came without any invitation, I hope you can forgive me.”

Fatso Liu replied immediately, “That’s no problem at all. Don’t need to be so polite, Master Ma.”

He saw that behind Master Ma were four other people who entered the valley together with him.

Two youngsters, one man, and one woman, were leading the group. He was well aware of their identities…

The man was wearing gold-framed specs and was in his thirties. He was the president of Qi’s Pharmaceutical Group, Qi Ye.

The woman was a graceful and beautiful lady, and she was the heir of all Qi’s Family traditional medical techniques, Qi Yan. Rumor had it that she was personally trained by Vigilante A, so it seemed like their relationship was quite strong.

Behind those two were two other even younger looking guys. They were definitely below twenty. Fatso Liu thought about it and was sure that he had never met those two before.

“President Qi, Doctor Qi. What a rare occasion. We had sent out the invitations but we never thought that the both of you would take the time to come over. You two really flatter me,” Fatso Liu greeted the two that he knew before the two strangers, “Can President Qi introduce these two youngsters to me?”

Qi Ye laughed, “No problem at all. We are all in the Chamber of Commerce, how could we possibly reject your invitation? As for these two youngsters, this one is Master Ma’s s… No, his elder disciple, Ma Ping. This boy has great potential for creating formations. This one is Master Ma’s newly accepted disciple Shen Xingchen. His cultivation proficiency is great. Master Ma has been praising him non-stop for these two days.”

Ma Ping was busy looking at the surroundings, while Shen Xingchen remained unmoved and looked straight ahead.

Fatso Liu continued to talk to them for a while before bringing them to the main venue.

A moment later, a voice appeared, “Look, the Hero of Qi City is here.”

Vigilante A was walking swiftly at the front.

Behind him were President Zhao, Butler Zheng, and Yellow Dog, only focusing on what was in front of it.

Black Dog didn’t follow because it was lacking behind on the Atmospheric Morality Technique training, and so was ordered to stay home and try to catch up. However, the truth was that Fang Ning had ordered it to prepare to summon the Dragon God.

Everyone turned to look at Vigilante A. Vigilante A looked extraordinary and full of pride, just like how a hero would.

This was the first time seeing Vigilante A in person for many of the visitors, and all of them were amazed by him. To be able to meet someone like him was enough to make their visits meaningful.

Those that knew him before this, however, had different reactions.

Master Ma carefully looked at him and frowned.

He felt that Vigilante A’s breathing was slightly unstable. He looked slightly weaker compared to their previous meeting. It wasn’t supposed to be this way, though. For him personally, he felt his vitality was increasing every day and his skills had also improved. Vigilante A was the true heir of the dragon, so he should have improved more than he did himself. Why?

Ma Ping saw Vigilante A and remembered something. He whispered to his father, “By the way, about the problem of the bug monster. This hero killed the monster and saved my life. You’ve been too busy with your ambition and haven’t mentioned anything about returning the favor.”

Master Ma heard him and stared at him, “Don’t call me father in front of strangers and outsiders. I already have an idea on how to do that, but the timing isn’t right.”

Shen Xingchen was standing next to Ma Ping. He saw how Vigilante A still had the pride he had a couple of days ago, and how everyone was admiring him. He felt jealous, but hid it away immediately, and no one noticed how he looked.

He turned and talked to Ma Ping, “Senior, is this hero really that strong? How strong is he compared to our master?”

Ma Ping looked at his father, who was acting natural and replied unwillingly, “This hero can personally kill off the bug monster that has been terrorizing us for a while now, so he definitely is strong. But compared to our master he is still slightly weaker. Our master is so strong yet, he is humble and never tries to prove his strength in front of others. This is the reason why our master is not as famous, but at least those in our circle know the truth.”

Shen Xingchen nodded. The butler looked honest, so whatever he said to him was, in fact, the truth. He was right in becoming the disciple of his master, and he believed that in the future he might be better than Vigilante A.

Qi Ye looked at Vigilante A, lifting his specs to focus on him. This was the first time they’ve met each other face to face, even though they had worked together in secret previously. They had their gains when Qi Tao was killed. After that, Qi Ye’s position in the Qi Family was immovable.

Qi Yan was standing next to Qi Ye. She finally saw Vigilante A again, and she felt he was still the same as before. She had mixed feelings; for the past six months, he had been appearing and disappearing as he pleased, while she was focusing on training her inner strength, so they never saw each other. However, every time she was in her training, she would think about him.

Vigilante A really was a truthful hero. The inner strength that he passed to her looked normal and rough, but the energy that she obtained after cultivation was pure and powerful. This energy was a match made in heaven with her Golden Acupuncture Guidance technique, and her technique became more effective than before.

She managed to regain her title as the Miracle Doctor of Qi Family in just a short time and completely inherited the medical department of the Qi Family.

Fatso Liu wouldn’t have been so polite to her if it weren’t the case. She would have been just a disciple of the Qi Family, incomparable to a billionaire chairperson of the Chamber of Commerce.

President Zhao and Fatso Liu personally guided Vigilante A to the stone stage while everyone was looking.

“Everyone, this is the Hero of Qi City, the Venerable Dragon God. Everyone here should have your ways of getting information around here, so I believe everyone has already heard a lot about the work done by our hero here. Therefore, I won’t talk about it here. So long as we have this hero here, Qi City has remained as a stable and peaceful city amidst this unstable era, so much to a point that we don’t even need to close our doors at night. If anyone here wants to move here or invest in our businesses, I will welcome you with open arms. Now let us give a round of applause to the Venerable One to say a few words.”

As he finished his speech, the place rumbled with claps and cheers. For those who only wanted to earn money and follow the law, the presence of Vigilante A was the symbol of peace in the new era.

Those that clapped the hardest were those famous people from Qi City. The fame that Vigilante A gained in Qi City was not a fluke.

Fang Ning was controlling Vigilante A, and he never felt nervous facing those thousands of famous and rich people below the stage.

He had been traveling up and down with the System for half a year now, and had seen many bloody and gory situations. Only Master Ma stood out among all the others when it came to power-level, so it was easy for him to deal with them.

He started talking on the stage, “Today I am here on the invitation from President Zhao Xiangwen and Chairperson Liu Shiliang to attend this ceremony for the first ever harvest at this herb plantation. I am very honored to see all the successful people from all around China gathered here today for this ceremony as well.

“The time has come. Everyone here blessed with talent and in this new era, all of you can become something amazing. I hope all of you can seize the chance and unleash your potential for the country, for the people, for your family, and for yourself.

“Today’s Vitality Herbs Harvesting Ceremony will be one of the major symbols of a new industry in this era. I hope everyone here can join us and together, we can make this industry, beneficial to both the country and the people, even better.”

The end of his speech was met with waves of applause. He was young, but he had the demeanor that commanded respect from others. Although rumor had it that he was an old-school hero, the speech just now he had shown that he understood well what the society had involved into, and that it would be easier interacting with him.

Qi Yan looked at Vigilante A, at how he was standing above the rest of them and well respected. She was admiring him.

Qi Ye was standing next to her and noticed how his cousin was looking at Vigilante A. He started thinking, ‘Looks like Vigilante A fits what the information I’ve received from my informant. He’s not the kind of old-fashion hero I was being cautious of previously. Plus, I didn’t have the need to, so I never really talked to him much.

“After today, I think we can really interact more. That Master Ma is still useful, but sometimes he can be unreliable. I paid him so much money for so many months, but my company’s plantation base has only just managed to start after all the obstacles. Fatso Liu and the others entered the industry later than me, but their progress was so much ahead of me. The difference between us is so obvious.”
