Chapter 203: Dig a Deep Groove First
The green insect heard him and looked up at Vigilante A with a weird expression.
“You know how strong I am, yet why aren’t you afraid of me?”
Vigilante A replied, “I carry the responsibility to help the people and preserve order and justice. I am one who is only strong when facing the weak and run when facing the strong! Before you eat, have you thought of how not to cause trouble to others, have you thought about how you are going to pay for all this?”
The green insect widened its green eyes and stared at Vigilante A, and its power level increased by a little.
They looked eager to fight.
All the powerhouses that were standing outside were shocked, and everyone was getting ready. That is, some were ready to help diffuse the situation, while the others were ready to run…
Vigilante A remained firm with his righteous look.
Fang Ning was looking from the top of the System Space and thought, ‘You big insect. All you can do is trick all these people that have no idea of your background. You are nothing when it comes to the rules.’
He flipped through his beloved gamebook and read the information displayed in the book.
[Chong Daqing. Sex: Female, Hobbies: Eating, Singing, Age: N/A. Identity: Currently the first insect born in the Spiritual Insects Clan. Previous identity unknown.]
[Alignment: Neutral Righteous]
[Power Level: Pond-level Powerhouse. Description: Previously a Skylake-level powerhouse with no further details. Requires a huge amount of vitality food to recover its energy. Its ability is disguising its power level to during its heyday.]
The green insect stared at him with an angry look, but deep inside it was complaining, ‘My dad lied to me again. He told me before that there are many stupid people in this lower realm.
‘The powerhouses are all trying to protect themselves and acting rationally. They would never try to fight with me just because I am eating too much.
‘I must disguise myself as the strongest in the realm without exposing my own lies, and find the chance to eat as many as I can to regain my true strength.
‘I did everything correctly and perfectly. Everyone is obeying my order and bringing food to me, but at the end why must I face an idiot that is full of righteousness?
‘Most importantly he can simply beat me with his strength… If he was slightly weaker then I would not be afraid of him.’
Great green insect got angry and stared at Vigilante A, ‘Damn you, bastard. I’m not even eating your food, why are you poking your nose where it doesn’t belong?
‘Give me another month to continue eating and recover my energy. I will beat you down in an instant…
‘Whatever. He looks like a good guy. Dad told me not to beat good guys…’
Suddenly, Ren Ruofeng spoke from the outside towards Vigilante A, “Venerable one, we the Truth Department will pay for its meal. Better to avoid fighting, in case something terrible happens.”
Vigilante A replied, “If anyone from the upper realm can just descend and force us to feed them, even with the size of our country, how many of them can we actually feed when they all have such appetite? I have my responsibility and I will never allow anyone to consumes our items for their own benefit just because of how strong they are. These are the rules, and I will uphold them, regardless if the one I face is a God.”
Ren Ruofeng felt ashamed and admired him. With Vigilante A holding the front line, he immediately ordered the newly appointed director of the Special Affairs Department to clear out the surroundings and evacuate everyone within a 5km radius. He was confident that his nets and snares still had the ability to contain their fight in the area and stop it from spreading.
The great green insect realized that it couldn’t overpower Vigilante A, and instead turned towards the waiters and said, “Ask your boss to hurry up and bring me more food. I don’t have any money, but the others do. They will pay for this meal, and we will never owe any money…”
Although it sounded demanding, others realized that it was trying to explain its actions.
They were surprised by what had happened. Vigilante A managed to hold a Lake-level powerhouse with his righteousness and reasoning, to a point where it needed to explain itself… No wonder he wasn’t afraid of those from the Azure Mountain.
Vigilante A heard it and looked at Qiao Zijiang and the rest standing in the restaurant, indicating for them to not move.
He turned back and stared at the green insect and said, “Do you think that if you keep your energy to yourself, that they’d pay for your meal? If you want to eat, you should work for it using your own strength. Earn enough money before you come and eat here, and not through pressuring others. These are the rules. I will not allow anyone bullying others anywhere in China.”
The green insect heard this and remained silent. It stared at the empty plate and thought to itself, ‘If I had my energy since the start, of course I’d work for this, but how am I going to get my power if I don’t eat?
‘Unfortunately, dad already reminded multiple times to never let anyone else know about my disguise. Even more important to not let anyone know that I can only regain my strength through eating.
‘All I wanted was to just fill my stomach and then go earn some money, yet now I have to deal with such righteous idiot who is forcing my back against the wall. Do I really need to tell the truth, what am I supposed to do?’
All the observers were shocked. Vigilante A somehow managed to reason with such a strong monster until it couldn’t fight back. It was no surprise that he never cared about Gu Buwei…
“Yes. That’s right!” Inside the restaurant, a teenage girl recording the event started putting her hands together. Her boyfriend pulled her to stop her from doing anything.
Suddenly, more people started clapping.
They had no idea how strong this monster was, but they could feel that this green insect must be a rare monster just by looking at the number of people in different uniforms, monks, as well as Taoist priests surrounding the restaurant.
They remembered that the hero had the same appetite as the monster, yet every time he came to eat he would pay for himself without asking or pressuring others…
Quite a number of the people hiding outside remained calm, yet deep down they were both angry and shameful. Most of them were actually using the power they gained through cultivation to get to where they were in their respective organizations. All they do was sit there and stare into space while getting paid, yet no one dared to question them.
Some of them even hoped that the green insect could just get angry and devour Vigilante A, and not let him continue his exhortation…
Wasn’t the reason everyone went through cultivation to overpower normal humans? If they had to work as hard as a normal humans to earn money, then what would be the point of all their training? Where would they even get the time to train?
