Chapter 631 - Asking For More (2/2)

Some of them were talking about a strange shooting incident that happened recently. The news spread widely on the Internet for the past few days.

After all, the incident was an uncommon one–shooting in America; damage in China.

If they did not know early on that both countries altered their defense and attack strategies, many would have thought that Americans were trying to provoke China again.

However, it was now obvious to everyone that the incident was another mysterious special case that struck fear.

On the contrary to outsiders, the workers who were chitchatting did not show any signs of fear. They treated it like a faraway disaster. Amidst their sighs, there was also the thankfulness for their luck.

Ever since they started work here, none of the mysterious incidents happened to them.

In this unpredictable Era of Vitality, inconspicuousness was no doubt one of the best workfares. Many people could have died a sudden death on the road, and only to find out that it was the work of ghosts after an investigation.

These chitchatting workers did not know that the culprit was already executed by their boss.

Yet this did not stop them from finding out.

“I think, the culprit won’t be able to be active soon. Before this, a lot of incidents like this happened. Which one of them was not solved by the Dragon God Hero? It won’t be an exemption this time,” said someone confidently.

“Yes, I dare to bet that in not more than three days, the Venerable One won’t tolerate letting this cruel bastard being alive.”

“That’s right. It isn’t even one of those demons who seek vengeance. A cold-blooded murderer like this is the worst, they’re unpredictable. We have to worry about being shot even as we walk on the road. How can we live out our days in peace?” said a few female workers in sympathy.

“Sigh, how else? We live counting our days,” explained someone.

“It’s good that we still have the Venerable One to depend on. Otherwise, our lives will be a hundred times harder,” said a person gratefully.

Vigilante A naturally would not be concerned about the topics discussed by these passersby. He entered the living room, sat on the sofa, and started to summon Golden River.

He retrieved Fang Ning’s cellphone and began to text.

“I’m confused. You can summon him on your own, why are you using my cellphone?” said Fang Ning dismally.

A man’s cellphone was like his wife. They were the type of existence that should not be touched by just about anyone…

“Nonsense, using this thing of yours saves magical energy.” defended the System.

Fang Ning went down another level of dismal as he contemplated the System’s actions, to no avail.

“Sir, since you rush back to claim your reward from the River God of the Sky River, can’t you simply find a place outside to send him the text? Why do you need to come all the way to the old house when it’s not like you can’t get reception outside?” asked Fang Ning confusedly.

“Nonsense, I can ask for more money if I ask at home,” said the System confidently.

“I don’t understand. What kind of logic is this?” Fang Ning was rendered speechless.

“Aren’t you rather smart? This is my house. If he comes without bringing gifts, won’t he feel ashamed to come to me for help next time?” replied the System nonchalantly.

“Eh… Have you no shame?” Fang Ning squeezed out a sentence before being awash in admiration. “In this aspect, you’re truly experienced. You don’t lose out to those who have lived for ten thousands of years because they still have to maintain their reputation when they receive gifts.”

“Thanks for flattering me.” The System expressed his pride in this matter.

Soon, the Golden River reappeared in the living room.

Before Vigilante A managed to open his mouth, piles of shining golden sand appeared above the Golden River with every speck of sand as clear as crystals, blinding everyone’s eyes.

“Thank you, Venerable One, for removing this threat. Humbly, I ask that you accept this small gift.” The Golden River buzzed.

Seeing that, Fang Ning thought hard and said, “No wonder Brother River God rarely shows up in public. He must’ve thought that it’s embarrassing too…”

“He takes a lot of advantage, do you think he’s afraid of being ashamed? You humans are the true hypocrites.” The System did not care about this. It only kept all of the golden sand with a wave of his sleeves.

“You’ve collected so many treasures that I’ve never even seen you use. Do you expect them to multiply if you keep them long enough?” asked Fang Ning curiously.

“Who cares? I like it.” The System was too lazy to explain.
