Chapter 303 (1/2)
China.
According to ancient rites, before a grand festival, one must perform ablution and fasting in order to express reverence towards heaven and earth.
Regarding this, after the meeting was dispersed, Old Hook specially reminded Vigilante A.
Fang Ning expressed that these had no effects on him at all.
At this moment, he was still playing games in the System Space, as if he was not even bothered about the sacrificial ceremony happening three days later.
Thought he needed to fast, he had also forgotten when was the last time he ate on his own…
Now he was still allowed to be a vegetarian, which simply raised the standard.
As for ablution, as far as he could remember, vital energy enveloped his whole body after the Sir possessed his body, such that he became spotless, automatically cleaned. Even his perspiration was cleared up…
Just like the old saying, one became speckless when suffused with vital energy; with a body like glass, one will never be covered in dust.
Once Fang Ning thought about this, he suddenly put his game down and turned pale as he was frightened, he said to some idiot, “Damn, I wouldn’t know if I didn’t count, you haven’t been bathing me for almost a year…”
Upon hearing that, Sir System who was working hard on capturing thieves said in distress, “There’s no need to, why should you waste your time to bathe?”
Fang Ning was speechless, he then said, “I need the feeling of a ceremony, do you understand? Quickly return to Truth Department and return my body, I have to take a bath.”
Sir System rejected and said, “I don’t understand, I’m not giving it back.”
Fang Ning was helpless, he could only sacrifice his ultimate weapon. “Five million, can you let me take a bath?!”
A brief moment later, Vigilante A returned to the base of Truth Department’s headquarter like a flying sword.
System Notification: [The System temporarily discontinues its seizing status towards the host.]
[The System transfers five million out of the host’s free banking account.]
Sir System said, “Look at you, wouldn’t it have been better if you said that from the start? You could’ve saved a few seconds.”
Fang Ning was at a complete loss for words. After he retrieved his own body, he found a worker on the base. After taking many turns under the lead of the worker, they arrived at a luxurious bathhouse that belonged to the logistics team in Truth Department, then he started to take his bath.
As he was the only person in the commodious bathroom, it was like a VIP guest treatment.
Clearly, the water had been changed as it was crystal clear and the bottom could be seen, various toiletries were also laid out beside him which were easily accessible.
While Fang Ning bathed, he talked nonsense, “By the way, this Pond-level is really nothing much, there’s not much water in this pond.”
Just as he was five minutes into his bath, an old sir rushed him and said, “Just soak for a little while, there’s nobody with a body cleaner than yours, you don’t even need to bathe in the first place. When have you seen the hero bathing? More like the hero often sees other people bathing.”
Fang Ning said helplessly, “I’ve only bathed for a few minutes, is the five million really so unworthy??”
[The System is evaluating…]
[The System is evaluating…]
[The System decides to meditate and train…]
The System said, “Look, you can bathe as you wish, I’ll be meditating in the water, we won’t disturb one another.”
Fang Ning was tongue-tied. Could he even enjoy a comfortable bath?
…
A moment later, a worker from the logistics team knocked on the door and entered.
He wanted to ask if the hero had any need, but he found him sitting with his eyes shut and legs crossed in the water, the vital energy in the surrounding was dense, and a dragon figure could be vaguely seen.
This worker was Yu Bo who was in his twenties, he had an ordinary look, but there was a sense of persistence between his brows, when he witnessed this scene, he was instantly deeply shocked.
The sages said it well, “A genius is one percent inspiration, but ninety-nine percent perspiration.”
He did not know if this sentence had a second half to it, but at this moment, he totally saw these from this hero.
The Venerable Dragon God was complete with talent and hard work.
Undoubtedly, he was a True Dragon from the Upper Realm, but even when taking a bath, he never forgets to cultivate…
Was there anyone else who was as diligent as the Venerable One?
It was almost impossible.
He had met many geniuses who were gifted with talents, whom worked hard and persevered in the early stage, causing them to progress in the speed of lightning.
After achieving a little success from their cultivation, until a certain level, they started to enjoy wealth, glory and flatters from people, which resulted from their statuses.
They left all their bitter days of cultivation behind, and in a long run, they became no different from normal people.
From the way he looked at it, the Venerable Dragon God was the only one he did not have to worry that something like this would happen.
It was no wonder that he was able to achieve a prestigious reputation of the “Eastern Pharos” in just a year’s time.
Currently, when all unorthodox demons were faced with the Venerable One, it would be a difficult task even if they wanted to flee at the mere sight of him, let alone provoking or battling him.
All of a sudden, Yu Bo was significantly inspired, he did not disturb the hero, but instead left quietly.
He returned to the simple and neat reception room outside, while he waited, he concentrated in cultivating the basic techniques instilled by Truth Department.
Through stages of selections and inspections, they were able to choose a basic cultivation technique from the Hall of Lores, after they entered the department, and it was the same for even a logistics worker.
He believed that, perhaps he did not have that one percent of inspiration of talent, but as long as he gave ninety-nine percent of effort, even if he might not surpass the others, he would unquestionably be stronger than himself yesterday…
…
Just when Yu Bo was driven in his cultivation, a voice was heard a short while later.
“Little fellow, you chose the wrong technique. The harder you train, the faster you’ll regress… Sigh, Truth Department has only left me for a few days, but there’s already such a flaw in a new worker, yet nobody is doing anything about it.”
Ren Ruofeng walked into the reception room leisurely as he waved a folding fan.
“Hello, Advisor Ren.” The little fellow immediately stood up and greeted him.
“Mmm, you’re Yu Bo, right? Return to the Hall of Lores and pick another one, remember to choose a bold and sophisticated one, which is more compatible with your true character.”
The little fellow was startled, he did not think that the advisor was indeed like what was said in the legends, he was profoundly resourceful, and was the living dictionary of the Truth Department.
