Chapter 762: Setting A Small Target

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After chasing Nie Yuan away, Fang Ning stared at the Demon Suppression Monument, and could not help but let out a sigh. ‘This old rat really has it rough.

‘Compared with other general Bosses, it’s far more brilliant than those self-proclaimed intelligent Bosses.

‘It had prepared an alternative route for itself long ago and retained itself as someone with irreplaceable value. Even Sir System who hates evil and possesses the advantage of absolute power, can’t kill it directly and quickly.

‘This was the advantage of being in control of present conditions.

‘Although it was notorious for its misdeeds and committed many evil deeds, it was useful to the Heavenly Axiom as well as the overall situation, and could not be eliminated directly.’

Fang Ning sighed and went to Morality City to find Bai Ruocang.

With the Dragon Carp’s assistance, he was now temporarily acting as the city’s manager, and could be said to be the acting mayor.

However, the whole city was privately owned by Vigilante A. Rather than the acting mayor, it might be more appropriate to say that he was a butler instead.

Fang Ning flew in the skies and looked down at the entire city.

Countless skyscrapers stood erect on a perfectly flat green grassland.

At the beginning of the city’s birth, he relied on the authority as Lord of the arcane realm to activate God-mode and leveled all of the bumpy hills, making it comparable to level ground in games.

Once upon a time, when he played ‘ Mashinky 1 ‘, what he hated most was the rugged mountain roads. When building a railway track, he had to make countless twists and turns to ensure that the slope would not be so steep that the train could not climb it.

Now, the entire city was on the same level, and there was absolutely no need to worry about the danger of earthquakes, landslides, floods, and so on.

In addition, it was one of the hideouts of Vigilante A. It could be said to be the safest city in the world.

If he had put it on sale, the land would have sold at sky-high prices.

Using the System Map, Fang Ning quickly found Bai Ruocang’s current position. Allies were green, while followers were blue.

Bai Ruocang was the weirdest person on the System Map, with two blue dots coinciding with each. That was because Cang Gongzi and he shared the same hamster body, so there was this strange display.

That was why Fang Ning could find it so easily...

In a skyscraper in the middle of the city, with the sign ‘City Management Center’ on it.

Fang Ning inherited a good tradition of Sir System’s— never enter from the front door, but directly from the window of the building. It saved a lot of time.

He glanced around and quickly found the window he was supposed to enter from...

Bai Ruocang was sitting in the director’s office. He was currently bending over his desk, correcting some documents.

Compared to his slightly immature appearance from before, he was now a capable, professional veteran.

On the desk was a huge fish tank one meter wide and three meters long, which took up more than half of the desk.

Inside the fish tank lay a fat and lazy golden carp. It had grown a lot in the few months Fang Ning did not see it.

It was now more than half a meter long with its stomach facing the sky. It leaned against the layer of sand and exposed its white belly to the sun. If unknowing people entered and saw this, they might have thought that it was rotten.

If Chong Da Qing saw it, she would definitely start drooling.

Bai Ruocang was busying himself when he suddenly heard a splash of water.

He looked up and saw the lazy carp inside the tank suddenly perking up, swimming around in the water with a lively look and spitting bubbles from time to time.

“Xiao Cang, there are still some problems with last month’s financial statements. The deficits are quite serious, and can’t always be covered by the Master. We need to think of some income to at least make ends meet.” The Dragon Carp put on an act and said.

“Huh, Boss Dragon, why are you saying something like that now... Hm, you’re right, though” Bai Ruocang was about to question when he saw the Dragon Carp start to spit out a string of bubbles, four long and one short... and immediately understood.

He instantly frowned and chimed in, “Unfortunately, our Morality City was just established and doesn’t have many special local products. The Scientific Academy for Vitality led by Brother Yellow didn’t find any results that could be transformed into industries. Do you have any good ideas?”

“Of course I do. The land outside this hundred thousand square kilometers is flat and fertile, and the climate can also be adjusted at will. It can be used primarily for farming, fully mechanically produced. Of course, we won’t be growing ordinary food. I have a method of cultivating demon plants here. It only consumes very little vitality, the yield is huge and it’s not threatened by diseases and pests...” The Dragon Carp said earnestly, pleased with itself.

“That’s great. Food is always the most important thing no matter the time. As long as there’s enough food, the common people won’t be disturbed, and they’ll be able to keep on living.” Bai Ruocang was overjoyed. Although he was young, he benefited from many years of China’s ‘dragon slaying’ education 2 , and he deeply understood that one of the foundations for governing was food.

No matter how bad the upper-class rulers were, as long as the people could eat, the whole society could still run and there would be a chance to slowly sort it out.

If there was a food problem, there would only be one consequence, and that was the cruelest social change.

Fang Ning listened for awhile outside and nodded secretly. The Dragon Carp seemed to be doing well. It was still quite diligent.

“As expected of my loyal brother. Its enthusiasm for his job is completely different. I don’t have to worry about it at all.” Fang Ning said to the System.

“You’re so dumb, really. Xiao Cang isn’t too bad, but that Dragon Carp is carved out from the same mold as you, only knowing how to start pretending right before the battle. You might not see it, but I saw it clearly. It was just sleeping and woke up a second before you appeared.” The System said disdainfully, “If you don’t believe me, I’ll bring out the blue orb that controls this arcane realm and show you the scene earlier.”

“Uh... Nevermind, I believe you.” Fang Ning was really humiliated after being called dumb by the System, “Damn this Dragon Carp, how could it fail to live up to my trust like this? It was sleeping away while I thought didn’t have to worry about it...”

“Hey, isn’t it just inheriting your glorious tradition? What’re you so angry?” The System pretended to wonder.

“Stop mocking me.” Fang Ning was depressed, “Looks like the sages were right. Without supervision, it’s easy to fall. I have to let this lazy carp understand that my eyes can see thousands of miles. No matter where it is, it’ll always be under my supervision.”

“Heh, you should supervise yourself first.” Sir System said disdainfully.

“Scram. Whatever I say, goes. You’re just a System, why do you have so much nonsense to say?” Fang Ning was flustered.

Fang Ning tidied up his mood, went to the window of the office, and was about to break the glass with a kick when he suddenly stopped himself. After all, he did not want to get angry with his brother rashly...

He knew since a long time ago that Dragon Carp had always been lazy. After all, one could not expect a fish to do much work...

Vigilante A reached out and opened the window.

Bai Ruocang noticed and came to deeply understand the huge gap between the Dragon Carp and himself. The other party had most likely recovered its Lake-level strength. Otherwise, it would be impossible to sense the Venerable One’s arrival so quickly.

He quickly stood up and went to the window to welcome him.

“Venerable One, is there anything you need to instruct?” Bai Ruocang asked eagerly.

“Hm, I do have something to talk to you about.” Fang Ning replied, “Some time ago when I subdued an arcane realm, I found something that has to do with you.”

Then, he raised a finger, and an image appeared in the air.

The Dragon Carp jumped up and down in the fish tank and even jumped out of the water from time to time, but Fang Ning did not pay attention to it at all, which made it quite uneasy. ‘Did Master see me lazing off?’

However, it was just a fish. It was enough for it to watch the gate. What else could it do?

Bai Ruocang looked, and without realizing, tears started streaming down his cheeks. His body suddenly shivered and a voice sounded from inside his body.

“Venerable One, is it possible for them to come back alive?” That voice was clearly Cang Gongzi’s.

“The resurrection of a true spirit can only be achieved with the power of a saint...” The Dragon Carp could not help but answer, wanting to make its presence known.

A complex expression of hope and disappointment flashed past Bai Ruocang’s face.

“A saint?” Cang Gongzi’s voice carried a trace of firmness.

“Hey, you brat. Are you thinking of becoming a saint?” The Dragon Carp was shocked.

“Saints are also people, right?” Cang Gongzi muttered.

“Wow, look at him. As expected of a guy with rare righteous attributes. It seems to have set a small target for itself.” The System mocked Fang Ning.

“He deserves praise for his courage.” Fang Ning slightly admired this soft and squishy Cang Gongzi.
