Chapter 142 (1/2)
Chapter 142: The Land of Heritage
After Fang Ning had finished telling the System, he observed Vigilante A’s movements through the System View.
When he saw Vigilante A took out a large surgical mask and put it on, he immediately wanted to vomit blood.
Fang Ning said, “Are you an idiot? Just because I said ‘be discreet’, you think people wouldn’t recognize you with your surgical mask? Not even the darkest night would be able to cover up your tall, upstanding figure and flaring aura, who do you think you’re fooling?”
Vigilante A stopped after hearing that.
The System said, “What else do you want? The more I wear, the more cumbersome it is…”
Fang Ning did not know how else to respond, “Are you playing dumb? Haven’t you already mastered the art of disguise? Why don’t you just change your look again?”
The System answered, “I can’t. The principle told me that as we have attained the Reputable Figure status, we would lose all our reputation if we use a new disguise and would need to restart. However, if we cancel the disguise and turn back into your original appearance, it is fine.”
Fang Ning said, “So you’re basically saying you could only maintain two accounts right now?”
The System said, “If it’s easier for you to understand, then yes, so I can only wear a huge mask to avoid people from recognizing me.”
Fang Ning immediately started spewing blood again, “Fine, your principle is a freak, I can’t deal with it.”
The System said, “If you don’t have other concerns, I will go now, I think Long Fan’s gonna die soon…”
Fang Ning had already given up as he waved his hand, “Go do whatever you want, if you broke Vigilante A, we can just create another one…”
The System said, “Don’t worry, Vigilante A is now basically a money generator, I won’t break it so easily…”
[The System consumed 10 Morality Bar to use the Legendary Skill Thousand-mile Assistance. Arrived at the Land of Heritage.]
Just as Fang Ning was getting ready to look at the System Map, a new notification popped up.
[Your ally Long Fan had died. Due to failing to assist your ally, the System’s reputation dropped slightly.]
Fang Ning immediately looked out through the System View. There was a wisp of white smoke rising above nearby treetops that soon disappeared. Needless to say, that was the smoke left behind by Long Fan after its death…
The System moaned, “Tch, it’s all your fault dilly-dallying…”
Fang Ning ignored it. Long Fan could be revived, and reputation could be earned back, so he continued looking at the System Map.
There were think undergrowth and trees where Vigilante A had appeared. The woods were familiar. With his excellent memory, Fang Ning could easily recall that they were at the Truth Department’s Land of Heritage. There were plenty of woods within the region of Land of Heritage, similar to what they were looking at.
At this point in time, Vigilante A was hiding inside the crown of a huge tree, but Fang Ning soon spotted something weird.
Between the treetops not so far away, a white-tailed monkey was hanging upside-down on a branch, staring at Vigilante A’s direction. It was obvious, it saw Vigilante A’s appearance.
The monkey was sizing up Vigilante A, its gaze was not filled with fear, but curiosity and wariness.
Fang Ning said, unable to come up with a way to evade an encounter, “Look, you’ve been exposed as soon as you arrived.”
The System said, “Shut it. Come out and help me communicate with the monkey. Ask if it knows anything about the Blood Porcupine demons. The information shown on the map is limited.”
Fang Ning said, “I thought you were gonna just attack… This seems to be the first time you had tried to assess the situation before killing any monsters.”
The System said, “Didn’t I say most of the creatures here were stronger than Anderson and that I wouldn’t break the identity of Vigilante A?”
Fang Ning felt a great relief washing over him. He did not immediately approach the monkey, but instead, he used his precious game book to show the information of the monkey.
[ Hou Dabai 1 Sex: Male, Likes: Vegetables and fruits. Age: N/A. Identity: Monkey King of the Whitetail Monkey Tribe.]
[Alignment: Neutral Righteous.]
[Power Level: Pond-level Powerhouse. Description: Size of one-and-a-half swimming-pool, depth unknown, but not very dangerous.]
Fang Ning was very surprised to see the stats, ‘This really is a place of heritage. Such a mystery, a simple monkey king is really a pond-level powerhouse, that’s already stronger than Anderson by half his strength.’
He brainstormed a little and asked for his body back, then retrieved one banana and waved it at the monkey. Of course, the banana was from the System Preservation Area.
In his mind, to make the monkey tell him things, he would need to bribe it. Since it likes fruits, might as well give it what it wants.
The Whitetail Monkey rolled its eyes and even sneered at him with its gaze.
‘Wha-? This monkey doesn’t like bananas? Does it, like, want carrots or something?’
Fang Ning retrieved a carrot and waved at the monkey.
The Whitetail Monkey turned away, showing its disdain.
‘F*ck me, this monkey is even pickier than humans,’ thought Fang Ning. He started taking out all sorts of fruits, like a watermelon, a pineapple, mandarin oranges… but the monkey was still not tempted.
