Chapter 208 (2/2)
Whereas that Wise Grand Tutor was not worried, and only dealt with him patiently.
The confidence on his face gradually increased, his maneuvers were sharper and fiercer, with more changes as well.
Vigilante A was obviously giving him a sense that he was fatigued and treading water, but his momentum was kept high, which made it seem like he could kill the enemy in one fell swoop at any time he chose…
Just as Fang Ning was fascinated by the fight, sir System suddenly spoke to him, “I can’t do this, Mr. Multi-Millionaire, I can’t act anymore, I really feel like killing this annoying jackrabbit … this is just a waste of time, really boring.”
Fang Ning was speechless, “Sir, think about those colorful green banknotes… Are you in the mood again?”
The System, “Hm, I’m in the mood now… but my chivalrous virtue seems like it’s going to drop any moment. Since this is a bad guy, I do not intend to let him go, and I’ll definitely kill him using my Dragon Fist.”
Fang Ning became nervous after hearing so, and no longer had the mood to watch. How did this happen?
It was important to note that the chivalrous virtue never seemed to work before, and it basically never appeared in the System Notifications as well, but it was the foundation of the System’s existence. If it said that there was a change happening, Fang Ning always took it extremely seriously.
After he thought about it carefully and observed through the System View, he realized a problem.
Fang Ning furrowed his brows, “Damn it, I understand where the problem is… teasing this guy doesn’t matter, it’s fooling all these innocent spectators that’s the catch. Everyone’s paid a huge sum to enter, our appearance fee came from them. However, now we’re making them worried, this is not virtuous at all. It isn’t like the last time when we duped the green insect. That group of passers-by were watching the show for free, so we had no obligation to them.”
The System, “Then what should I do? I faked the last fight too, but nothing happened?”
Fang Ning was speechless, “N’gun died too quickly last time, of course nothing happened. Besides, you were not exaggerating like right now… I can only say that you have acted too much.”
The System, “Oh, I’ve a great idea. It’s going to save time and there would also be no risk of reducing my chivalrous virtue.”
[The System is evaluating…]
[The System is evaluating…]
[The System decided to temporarily terminate takeover mode.]
Fang Ning felt uneasy after seeing that. Every time this idiot had an idea, the one who suffered was always himself…
He quickly asked, “What are you doing? Quickly continue seizing my body and perform, I think that you just need to work on that one.”
The System continued “… Vigilante A’s soul is injured seriously, and needs to sleep for a while, so it is the Host’s turn. You’re not restricted by my chivalrous virtue, so you can perform all you want, just make sure not to do anything heinous.”
“Wha… what? You want me, with my tiny arms and legs, to fight against a villain?” Fang Ning turned pale with fear, and started to stutter, “The precious game book told me to not enter the battlefield, it probably wouldn’t falsify big things like this.”
The System, “Don’t listen to that stupid book, I’ve already thought about it… You just need to wear my legendary armor. It has complete defense, and his attack power can’t touch you at all. Then you just need to use Vigilante’s Flying Book against him. I will change back when time is almost up. Don’t worry, I will pull strings to protect Mr. Multi-Millionaire all the way. Once there is danger, I will immediately come to the rescue.”
‘Goddammit. In the end, the one suffering is still me.’
Fang Ning immediately puzzled himself to look for excuses, and he frighteningly asked, “Aren’t worried that others might notice our abnormalities? Some people would definitely sense the difference between us before and after…”
The System’s tone was firm, “I’ve already grown out of puberty, what are you afraid of? Vigilante A has always been switched back and forth between you and me. People would have noticed it long ago. That Bodhisattva Spirit King was the same. As long as we are strong, no one would dare to gossip.”
Fang Ning said, “You’re making me take the lead, but will you be willing to borrow me money in the future?”
The System said, “If you don’t perform well in this competition, I will have much less income…”
Fang Ning could not find any more excuses, and could only resign himself to his fate. He said with a low spirit, “Alright. It’ll be good practice for me. In the future, I will summon the Celestial Dragon, so this can be getting familiar with the battlefield beforehand.”
He said those words, but a dreariness still emerged in his mind. It seems his days of leisurely watching the battle from the sidelines are never coming back…
The System was pleased, “As expected of a multi-millionaire. As always, you look at the big picture. You have foresight. Don’t worry, you’ll have your share of the appearance fee. After all, I am a fair System. Ah, right. I felt that Mr. Multi-Millionaire’s emotions are a little desolate, so I took the liberty of playing some music that suits the occasion to lift your spirits… ”
As such, among the countless big screens in the stadium, a passionate yet dreary background music suddenly started to play in succession.
The sound of a lute reverberated across the stadium. The four hundred thousand people in the stadium suddenly quietened down. All sorts of whispers instantly dissipated, birthing a pin-drop silence.
The lute was a traditional stringed instrument from ancient China. It was shaped like a Qin, had thirty strings, and under each string were the frets. Before Jing Ke assassinated the Qin Emperor, Gao Jianli played the lute, while Jing Ke sang and played the accompaniment. 1
The current background music playing was ‘Yi River Song’.
“The wind blows, the river freezes. The hero fords, never to return!”
Along with the song, the minds of the audience were immediately shrouded with a desolate sense. Like the first autumn wind, the Yi River was cold and frigid. Heaven and Earth were gloomy and downcast, and heroes draw the curtain.
Then, they saw Vigilante A’s expression change through the screen. His movements suddenly became slower, as if he completely became a different person.
Previously, although Vigilante A was shaky and unsteady, he still had an all-conquering aura, which let people believe in him. However, right now all of that seemed to have completely disappeared. Several people immediately found tears in their eyes.
Fang Ning regained control over his own body, and said helplessly, “Sir, what you chose really suit the occasion… Your aesthetic standards are indeed far beyond a regular person’s.”
