Chapter 773 - Isolationism (1/2)
After some time had passed by, the System suddenly said, “Richie, how should we build it?”
Fang Ning was using a computer simulator to play the mobile game. He was relying on Pay-to-Win and killing all his enemies. Just when he was at the climax of the game, he was startled by the System and his game character keeled over.
Yes. It had evolved to the point that Pay-to-Win is in mobile games…
As for the modifier, it naturally existed. Fang Ning was lazy to search online, so he spent money as a means to support the development of others.
The System suddenly exclaimed, and Fang Ning stopped what he was doing. He scanned through the visual angle of the System view half-heartedly and said, “The empty space in front is not bad. The area’s large enough for construction.”
Where the so-called empty space that he spoke of, stood many brown and grey stalagmites. There were some pale yellow and white stalactites hanging from the roof of the cave as well.
“Are you trying to piss me off?” the System was annoyed. “My effort of going around this place is wasted. All you could see was that? There were fourteen locations just now, all better than this one by a hundred times.”
“Calm down,” Fang Ning was guilty. After all, this was the only place he saw. “You should know what I was doing just now. Why are you so mad? You can make the decision yourself.”
“You’ve got a point I guess,” the System said bitterly. “Since you’ve got no opinion, I’m going to choose the previous spot. The area’s larger than this one here by ten times, and the stone walls are more sturdy.”
“Well, that makes sense. That’s settled then,” Fang Ning simply replied, he was still thinking about his unfinished game.
“Having to deal with you is like living eight unfortunate lives,” the System said helplessly.
“Look at you, ungrateful as always. When I came up with this idea, you were basically worshipping me. You haven’t even given me any benefits, and yet your attitude has changed so soon,” Fang Ning pretended to be upset.
“Forget about it then. Bodhisattva has already taught me everything. There’s another problem left though. The air down here is extremely thin because it’s deep underneath the ground. The stone walls were eroded by underground water that makes them prone to collapse. I can’t imagine how high the cost of construction would be,” the System was distressed.
“Look at you, you have to rely me on ideas and advice anyway,” Fang Ning said proudly. “That’s simple. All the help you need is waiting for you there.”
“I understand. Such a wise rich man you are,” the System was completely won over.
“You’re wiser now seeing that you understood what I said so easily. That bunch of rats, under the commands of the beings from the Upper Realm, betraying their own kind. I’ll let them make amends for their faults this time,” Fang Ning said justly.
“You’re right,” the System agreed wholeheartedly. After all, he was getting free labor lawfully. After that, Vigilante A stopped inspecting the place, then he appeared in Greater Rat City in a flash.
…
Just when he arrived in the city, he received a message on WeChat. The Greater Rat Kingdom was pretty well built, at least there was Wi-Fi everywhere. It was apparent that they made a great effort to blend into the human world.
At least through the Internet, most of the things that happened to human beings could be learned in a timely manner. In that way, they would not be in a state of isolationism and completely lose touch with the outer world.
On the contrary, Vigilante A’s intention was to cut off communication with the rest of the world.
“Old Master Ma wants to see Vigilante A, and it seemed like he has something urgent,” Fang Ning reminded.
“I see it now,” the System responded. “What urgent matter could he possibly have? My mastery in intuition tells me that seeing him wouldn’t make a difference.”
“Good heavens. If Old Master Ma heard that, he would vomit blood,” Fang Ning was utterly speechless. “It’s better to meet him still, my intuition tells me that something’s wrong.”
“It seems that we’re not on the same page about this. Am I not better than you? That’s impossible. I cultivate every day, but you’re always slacking off,” the System was baffled.
“We’ll make a bet to who’s right about this,” Fang Ning was unsure, his intuition wasn’t always something he could rely on.
However, human beings could never live without it. If their intuition was wrong for ten or a hundred times, they would just be wasting some of their time and effort. However, on rare occasions that their intuitions was right, it usually turned out to be a lifesaver or a major discovery.
“Okay, let’s make a bet. Do I even have to be afraid of a lazy bum like you?” the System was very confident. The next moment, Vigilante A went back to his home in a flash… That’s right, Old Master Ma was at Vigilante A’s farm villa and waiting for him in the living room. Butler Zheng was drinking tea with Old Master Ma.
