Chapter 499: Wishful Thinking

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In a big square within China’s Truth Department Headquarter.

Vigilante A was dumping demons into the square… Or rather, dumping these ‘post-evolved humans’.

“One head, two heads… Oh no, it’s one, two…” A person beside counted out loud.

Occasionally, somebody would take these muddled little demons away, scattering them to different locations to reform them through the reeducation processes…

A couple of hours later, the demons had all been cleared.

“There are a total of two hundred thirty-three thousand of them, thank you for the hard work, my hero. Regarding the devil slaying budget, we’ll transfer it to your butler.” A secretary-general reported solicitously.

Vigilante A only nodded faintly. He displayed an overbearing stance, as if he were unbothered about the money, then flew away with his sword.

“Damn it, there’re actually so few of them. I can’t believe that white wolf made empty lies, there aren’t millions of them yet it said that it was a million-demon army. An honest system really gets bullied.” Sir System complained to Fang Ning as it was discontented.

“Alright, they’ve been seriously influenced by human culture, it’s normal for them to exaggerate. If not, how could it boost morale and gather so many little demons in such a short time? It’s quite a remarkable act, it really has extraordinary potential, adding onto the fact that these local demons only activate their sapience for two to three years.” Fang Ning exclaimed too.

“So what if that’s the case? Catching them is as easy as pie.” Sir declared proudly.

“Hehe, you’re awesome. Anyway, how did you split into four dragons? Can you do more in the future?” Fang Ning was troubled with this question.

” The Dragonization Ability has trained me to this level. Since I can combine them, I can naturally split them too. Out of my ten threads, I’ll just have to pick three to control one dragon.” Sir replied firmly.

“Oh, you’re right.” When he heard the Sir’s reply, he became unconcerned as well.

By using the “million demon army”, Fang Ning managed to satisfy Sir System for the time being. He then continued to play on his own.

However, Sir suddenly added, “Eh, why do I feel like somebody is rebuking me non-stop. How abominable, I’m such a nice system, do I have to be criticized behind my back too?”

“Of course there are many people rebuking you. However many evildoers you’ve captured, the same amount of evildoers would be cursing you.” Fang Ning responded dispassionately, he could not hear those scoldings anyway…

There was a good side to being weak too, at least he could enjoy the peace and just watch from afar…

“This isn’t right, I don’t bother about those fellows, but this doesn’t feel the same. My instinct tells me that this is quite a significant issue, I’ll have to take a look.” Sir was cautious.

“Do as you wish, just don’t nag at me.” Fang Ning completely uninterested.

Upon seeing that, Sir System was disgruntled. “How can you be like this? Do you really thrive in disasters and perish in soft living? I browse the internet every day and I’ve seen a lot of main characters from novels who strive for the better all the time, they never rest or play around. They either go for training or they search for treasures, I never came across any characters like you who constantly thinks about playing.”

“You’re wrong…” Fang Ning answered confidently, “That’s because you read too few novels, there are many more who are more ignorant than me. There are countless of them who always flirt with ladies, and misspend their time ceaselessly…”

“Uh… Can’t you just emulate those who are better than you?” Sir was not going to let this go.

“If I were to emulate those better than me, why would I be seized by you now? Give me a break, of course I’ll show up if something huge happens, now let me rest for a month.” Fang Ning boasted shamelessly.

“You still want to relax for a month… You’re getting better at slacking.” Sir was at a loss for words.

While they conversed, Vigilante A had gone underground into the Greater Rat Kingdom, and arrived at the Demon Alliance Headquarters.

Initially, Fang Ning was unmindful of it. When he heard the clamor and chaos from the outside, he then looked through the System View out of curiosity.

As soon as he looked, he gasped.

“Tss…”

“Tss…”

“Tss…”

He saw that the conference hall was packed with innumerable demons of weird shapes and sizes, he would be praising them if he regarded them as half-evolved humans…

Many demons discussed with one another while a heated debate was going on on the platform.

“You really surprise me, I can’t believe you came here! Don’t you always stay away from tunnels and seabeds?” Fang Ning was extremely shocked.

“Oh, somebody is plotting a scheme against me, my instinct tells me that I have to come here.” Sir System explained casually then hid in a corner.

“Your instinct is really amazing then, this isn’t a small event.” Fang Ning nodded.

After watching for some time, he realized that this was a Demon Alliance Conference, where a fight between some figures was going on.

Sure enough, wherever it was, an internal discord was the kingly way…

From Zheng Dao’s regular reports, he knew that although the demon clan had just established Demon Alliance for a few months, they imitated human organizations by developing a crude management system.

The white wolf he previously met at Cloud Fog City’s Fellowship Meeting was the military affairs executive member, and appeared to be one of the three bosses.

The last time he trash-talked it, it was severely scattered such that it ran away after feeling inexplicably stunned.

When Fang Ning recalled that then took a look at Cang Lang again, he instantly felt sympathetic. The white wolf was not here to watch, or else he could act in front of the Sir again.

“The white wolf is here, the fellow that’s speaking vigorously on the platform is its human form.” Sir hinted.

“Eh, not bad, Sir, it’s really that foolish fellow.” Fang Ning looked carefully then noticed a vague sign of the white wolf in the eloquent middle-aged man on the platform.

Needless to say, Vigilante A was the only one able to perceive that, nobody else could.

“Hmph, I was the one who angrily denounced this fellow earlier on and made it speechless. Sir, do you know what this is called?”

“I’m not interested.” Sir stared at the platform attentively.

“This is called ‘the greatest victory comes by conquering your enemy without fighting,” Fang Ning insisted and answered, “A wise man once said, it is not outstanding to fight and conquer in all your battles, supremity comes in overpowering your enemy without fighting. Which means, even though you’ve won a hundred battles, they’re nothing compared to my verbal sparring that was able to scare the wolf away.”

“Oh, I’ve always known that you’re unmatched at trash-talking, you don’t have to boast about it anymore.” Sir negligently rejoined.

“…” Fang Ning felt terribly awful after failing his act.

He diverted his attention to the platform to look for an opportunity.

He saw that Cang Lang continuously gave insulting remarks to a short elder, then wondered.

‘Eh, this old man seems familiar. Isn’t that Elder Ancestor Bai? The one who keeps hiding underground and is extremely afraid of you?

‘This old rat always does evil deeds and they’re always serious matters, it’s not easy to catch information to be used against it, so the Sir hasn’t done anything to it.’

Currently, this old rat was in a difficult position where it was outwitted by someone of its own kind.

Indeed, though righteous factions had never-ending internal conflicts, in actual fact, disputes in rebel factions were way more extreme. Those villains were more unrestrained and had much lower limits in their internal battles, which was clearly shown by those invaders.

“Elder ancestor, your son learned Vigilante A’s morality techniques, what’s there to debate about? We’ve done a clear investigation of its morality techniques, those are rare supreme skills in the world which are also infrequently found in the upper realm. If it didn’t make the Heavenly Oath and is not a lineal descendant, it’s impossible for him to learn that!” Cang Lang kept holding on to its opponent’s vital point as it pursued this matter fiercely.

“I’ve said this before, different people have different aspirations, my son is walking its own path, I can’t do anything about it.” Elder Ancestor Bai remained composed, as if Cang Lang was not criticizing him at all.

“Hmph, don’t you think you’re being funny?” Cang Lang turned to face the ordinary demons and proclaimed, “Everyone knows that in the demon clan, dragons give birth to dragons, chickens give births to chickens, and rats know how to bore holes. This is entirely different from humans, but elder ancestor says that it can’t do anything about its son, do you believe this?”

“No!” Many demons answered in unison.

That was right, who would hope to see their next generation muddle along with their enemy? Probably no one?

Cang Lang immediately looked pleased, this trick could destroy at least half of the elder ancestor’s reputation.

It wanted to exploit the demons to ascend, but before this problem was solved, that would just be wishful thinking.
