Chapter 343 - Strike the Temple Block Ten Thousand Times, and You Will See (1/2)
Fang Ning was just going to leave as Anderson told him about Wang Lei.
They mentioned his abilities as well as the report they were currently working on.
As soon as Fang Ning had heard it, he was ecstatic. ‘Finally. some good news!’
In his joy, he promised to promote them to a deputy warden.
Anderson was overjoyed. That move was a really clever one.
As soon as the third floor of Draconic Arcane Realm was put into use, they realized the electricity was a problem.
‘Generating electricity with gas was simple, and Sir Warden did not seem to care for the little money it cost, but it did pollute the air and affect the quality of life. After all, the arcane realm was not large. Looks like Sir Warden was someone who cared about the quality of life.’
After getting the promise, Anderson thought, ‘Hmph, Lei Tian, you just wait.’
Fang Ning walked out of the prison. After Anderson’s experiment was done, he would no longer need to worry about the System stopping his electricity. Having solving a weak spot, he was delirious.
His next move was to solve the internet disruption from the System. ‘Should I set up a large scale LAN?’
The Draconic Penitentiary had plenty of people. In those inmates’ free time, it would be nice to have them produce content.
If the Draconic Penitentiary lack people, he could connect it to two other places.
After the Yin Energy arcane realm was redone, it could house up to a hundred billion people. It was an area of a hundred thousand square kilometers. If it was filled with Harmonic Yin Yang Energy, it would be very habitable for people as it was good for health.
‘Wouldn’t that have solved all my worries?
‘I no longer have to worry about the mental health of other people affecting their production of novels and games.
‘I no longer have to worry that Sir System would stop my internet—wait, no, that still goes on.’
Fang Ning’s thoughts were shooting in all directions, and soon realized something odd.
He asked the System, “You said you killed Wang Lei and it gave you sixty million experience points?”
The System said, “That’s right. What do you want?”
Fang Ning said in confusion, “But Anderson was just questioning his spirit in the office. I remember you said before that if spirits entered the System Prison, you wouldn’t get any experience points. Last time, you killed Lei Tian before the Heavenly Axiom resurrected him and was captured into the Draconic Penitentiary.
“Wang Lei had nothing like that. I could see it clearly, you captured him directly.”
The System said, “That’s right. That’s why I said it was my birthday present from Axiom Daddy. I suppose it would be gone after today, so don’t talk to me, I want to farm experience points.”
‘Crap,’ Fang Ning was speechless, “I don’t believe that. It must be some unknown reason. Wang Lei and Lei Tian should have something similar that a situation like this might transpire. Could it be that the real Wang Lei had already died, and this Wang Lei was formed by Demonic Energy?”
Fang Ning brainstormed, but the System ignored him and immediately went to farm monsters.
Unfortunately, until the dawn of the second day, the System no longer encountered good things like this.
The System rules had not changed. If spirits were captured into the System Prison, they would not give experience points, not both.
The System returned to the farmhouse and continued its cultivation.
…
In the morning of the second day, the sun had spilled all over the farmhouse’s courtyard. The Boston ivy had bloomed all over the courtyard, bringing with them the taste of summer.
Fang Ning was still snoozing in bed when the rapping of a Chinese temple block woke him up.
“Sir, since when did you open up a temple? Why are you striking it so early in the morning and waking me up?”
“You got two things wrong. One, I didn’t open a temple; two, it’s not early in the morning, it’s ten o’clock. I noticed you’re getting lazy again. Did you forget to work overtime again now that I stop making sure that you do?”
The hollow sound of the temple block was still ongoing, which forced Fang Ning to wake up really quickly.
He told the System, “Go take a look.”
“What for? It’s not affecting me,” the System said.
Fang Ning said, “It wouldn’t affect you, but it would affect me. Please help me block out the sound.”
The System said loudly, “Why should I? Someone’s waking you up for me. The sound of the temple block can reach the deepest depth of your heart, it would be a really good alarm clock.”
Fang Ning almost vomited blood. ‘Damn, Sir System is such a sly thing.’
He said helplessly, “I’m awake now. I want to work, so ask the temple block guy to go away, it’s affecting my work efficiency.”
As he finished, the sound of the temple block disappeared from the System Space.
Fang Ning was speechless. ‘That’s right, the System was pragmatic, it wouldn’t chase the source of the sound away, it would continue using the sound tomorrow.’
Fang Ning had no choice other than his ultimate weapon. “A hundred thousand experience points, let me use my body for two hours. I have to see who’s knocking that thing at our doorstep.”
“You could’ve said earlier. Look at you, you’re too kind.”
System Notification: [The System paused its control of the Host.]
Fang Ning resumed control of his body and stormed out of his bedroom, searching for the noisemaker.
He wanted to see which person it was who dared disturb his beauty sleep!
Soon, he found the source of the sound.
The source was in front of the farmhouse estate’s entrance, which was about one kilometer away from the bedroom. That showed the noisemaker’s technique.
A middle-aged man dressed in a black robe was floating in the air in a seated position, his eyes were closed, and he was knocking on a golden temple block.
Fang Ning observed the man. There was an indescribable quality about the man that Fang Ning had never seen on other people.
Fang Ning stood quietly without interrupting him.
Soon, the sound of the temple block came to a halt. The middle-aged man opened his eyes and sized Fang Ning up.
He smiled and asked, “Almsgiver Fang, are you doing well?”
Fang Ning nodded. “Thank you for your greeti– wait, what did you call me?”
Fang Ning was shocked. Fortunately, the System controlled his facial expression so he did not look aghast.
There had never been anyone who managed to find out his true identity. The closest person to him was Anderson, but even they did not know his true identity.
