Chapter 753 - Sequence Of Events (1/2)

Brett tunneled around the underground. This Earth Hound’s sense of smell may not be as keen as that of Yellow Dog, but it is nevertheless a skill that was unique to him.

This was especially so with Brett’s mythical metal body; he was much more sensitive towards the scent of Heaven and Earth’s Vitality. His body was, after all, almost entirely made by Heaven and Earth.

He sensed a minimal amount of Vitality flowing towards a certain direction and very quickly found something strange.

There were numerous thin strands of Vitality Flow appearing in the air. These Vitality Flows were absorbing the Vitality on the entire Earth and directing them underground to be accumulated at an unknown spot.

He tracked the direction of the flow and came to a place that was somewhat familiar.

The Underground Greater Rat Kingdom. It was so brightly lit that is looked just like daytime, a city that never sleeps.

Brett sat on a rock and looked down at the kingdom from above, trying to sense the source of the abnormality.

This portion of the kingdom was divided very distinctly. There was the inner and outer city that was separated by a wall within the city.

The inner city was prosperous. It was bright and had several tall buildings which were aesthetically different and stood grandly.

If there was not a rocky roof above Brett, he would have had the impression that he was in a prosperous human city at night time.

He could clearly smell that a few familiar human scents coming from several of the buildings, there was even sounds such as ‘Go big!’, ‘Go small!’, ‘You are a winner!’, “Big money’, ‘Come and have a go’, coming from them.

The lights in the outer city were slightly dim. The architecture style was much more modest, and one can even hear clanging noises coming from within. The noises were probably coming from a few factories.

“That’s strange. What are these rats doing?” Brett sensed the atmosphere carefully, confirming this place as the source of Vitality’s abnormality.

To be precise, the place where the Vitality Flow ended was in the inner city’s largest building… within a palace.

He gave the situation a thought and decided not to enter. Instead, he took out his phone to update his Master on the latest information.

“Wait a minute, this is the underground. There won’t be any signal, right?” Brett was about to put his phone away when he realized that there was actually signal underground. In fact, it was full bar…

“These rats really got themselves busy…” Brett was very surprised and proceeded to send a message via WeChat.

After that, he took his time to admire the Rat’s city. It was a novelty for him.

Naturally, he started comparing it with Morality City, where he had stayed for a long time.

He quickly came to realize that the thick scent of humans had come from decadent sites such as casinos and brothels.

In Morality City, everyone was a do-gooder and were hard workers. During their leisure time, people in Morality City would be busy training or cultivating. There would be no sign of any poker cards, what more places of decadent.

Leisure buildings within the city were libraries, sutra depositories, cultural palaces, science museums… They were all buildings such as these, none were used for immoral purposes.

“Only rats would turn this into a dirty place,” Brent said with utmost disdain.

He naturally had no desire for these places. After all, he had studied the Atmospheric Morality Technique and was a gentleman among hounds.

He was, of course, unaware that this was an attempt by the newly elected king, Bai Shixin’s efforts to turn around the city’s trading with humans by creating all these new games.

The Greater Rats were at an era of development and there was a huge demand for human merchandise. However, demand for Greater Rat merchandise was not as popular in the human world.

The only items they could export were cheap geothermal power and basic materials produced through the garbage industry.

China had started a ban for importing garbage and the Greater Rats did not mind the change and got the contract for garbage disposal.

Importing required Greater Rats to spend money and garbage was the only import that was paid by the humans…

Previously, this business was limited to only China. However, the underground tunnels began to be developed, which led to them monopolizing the business and getting contracts from Europe and America.

This industry may not be a glamorous one, but it was able to garner huge profit, especially for a developing region. They were able to obtain basic materials at a low price and the profit was significant for them.

Not long after, Vigilante A appeared silently by Black Dog’s side.

“Master, I’ve discovered that the rats have stolen the Vitality. It is no wonder that it has been decreasing. Their thieving habits are difficult to kick. They have wasted your efforts in trying to educate them and now have the gall to do such a thing,” Black Dog hurried tried to get credit.

“You did well,” Fang Ning nodded at the words and handed him a vial of pills.

“Thank you, Master,” Black Dog reached out with his paw to receive the pills and wagged his tail happily. His brown-nosing was being blatantly expressed.

“I should really not let you have this body to play detective. You are too generous to simply hand over my pills as a reward,” Sir System suddenly interjected.
