Chapter 109 (1/2)
Chapter 109: A Word of Advice for You, Host.
Vigilante A left the Zhao manor and returned to his own. Immediately, he started meditating and cultivating, not wasting even a minute.
A large number of experience points just came in. If the System weren’t so anxious to conduct the experiment, it had already started the cultivation process to convert the experience points into power he could wield.
Techniques needed to be upgraded, both Dragonization Ability and the Atmospheric Morality Technique were powerful techniques that came with extra skills and passive support effects, as well as fitting to the System’s current martial arts system. After upgrading them, there would be a visible change in power. However, the consumption of these techniques is massive. Only after expending a large number of experience points can the techniques be upgraded by a level.
It also needed to level up. A lot of the skills and abilities have already been capped due to the level, and only with leveling up can it obtain more Attribute Points.
A few hours later, Vigilante A who was meditating calmly suddenly stopped and laid down on the bed and tucked himself in the blanket. The pose he was in was exactly the same as when Fang Ning fell asleep, and even the blanket was set the same way as before…
Soon after, Zheng Dao knocked on the door, saying that the Demon Slayer Feast was ready, and he invited the Venerable One to attend.
Fang Ning was awake as soon as he heard the knocks on his door.
He opened his eyes, feeling refreshed, but he was a little puzzled, ‘That’s weird. Why do I feel like sleeping in my own body is similar to sleeping in the System Cyber Cafe?’
‘It was still pleasant initially, but it was the same feeling in the end. Maybe the improvement in the Dragonization Ability has made it irrelevant whether I slept spiritually or physically.’
After feeling great about himself, Fang Ning was going to kick off his blanket before it occurred to him something was wrong. With his current memory, he could tell the blanket was identical to when he fell asleep, ‘How could this be? I move around in my sleep a lot, something must be wrong…’
However, since his follower was waiting outside, Fang Ning was not bothered to ruminate on the issue. He put on his clothes and exited the room.
“Venerable One, the feast is ready in the kitchen, please give us a short speech,” Zheng Dao asked respectfully outside the door.
“Good work,” Fang Ning said as he walked. “You should eat more later. Once you started cultivating, the energy consumption will increase.
“Thank you for your concern,” answered Zheng Dao.
In the dining hall, a huge round table was filled with all kinds of delicately-prepared dishes. Their exquisite presentation and mouth-watering scents tugged at everyone’s appetite.
The feast was in the form of individual portions instead of shared portions. A plate was set in front of everyone, reminding everyone to use different sets of cutlery during eating and serving.
Being the thoughtful person that he is, Zheng Dao explained this to the guests.
This arrangement made sure the two canine comrades were not humiliated and the Venerable One would not be discomforted.
After spending the recent past with them, Zheng Dao had seen it happen many times — the dogs started fighting each other for the big bone in a bowl. That was such a horrible sight.
It was fine if it happened in private, but since the Venerable One was here, something like that should not happen, should it?
As for human utensils, Zheng Dao was not worried that the two dogs were not able to use it. They were not normal dogs, as they can lengthen their digits and be as nimble as human hands.
He had seen it happen, the black dog turning on the TV or maneuvering around websites was smoother than he can be. As for the yellow dog, he had only seen it flip pages carefully, but it should be similar in theory…
Fang Ning has not even considered it. He had only one thing on his mind, ‘How long have I not eaten food?’
After the System raised the Dragonization Ability to Intermediate Level, it has been eating once a month lasting one whole day each. Fang Ning could not be bothered to waste time on eating, so he did not ask the System to return the mealtimes to him.
The upside of this was that he had one extra day to play around, and the downside was that he could not enjoy good food anymore. Fortunately, he could make up for it for a day.
Fang Ning took his seat and asked everybody, two dogs and a man, sat opposite of him. He did not pay attention to the servers, in case it would scare them…
Fang Ning said, “The Demon Slayer Feast starts now. The feast is for you, so help yourself with anything you want, don’t feel the need to hold back.”
Zheng Dao nodded and took his seat. After Fang Ning tasted the first dish, the others started to eat as well.
Zheng Dao’s table manners were polished, but the two dogs started fighting among each other again.
Xue Ba was unable to overpower the muscular Brett in this regard. In front of their master, Xue Ba could not just snatch the food away with its mouth. It could only use the utensils cautiously, but its paw muscle control was not as strong as the black dog…
It was left with only questions, ‘Did I not manage to become a higher status than musclehead? He was so rude, does he not know to leave the big bones for his superior?’
It started using its expressive eyes to glare at the black dog, “Gimme the big bone…”
Brett the black dog was happily chewing on its bone and casually flung back a glance, “Master said to help ourselves…”
Xue Ba was speechless, “Why does your wit only come to you when there’s food?”
“Thanks for the compliment,” the black dog snapped back and quickly took another piece of roasted chicken with the chopsticks. “If I were to eat less, how would I have the energy to do pushups? You, on the other hand, need to eat the things that are good for your brain, so lay off the big bones! Now that you’re learning the Atmospheric Morality Technique, your brain juice must have been depleted! Let me get you some dishes.”
As he finished, Brett skillfully picked out the walnuts, dates, and wood ears, and gave them all to the yellow dog.
