Chapter 984 - The World in the Building (1/2)

After a three-day-long reunion with his family, Fang Ning was back in good spirits, and he poured his heart and soul back into work.

The path to divinity was just in front of him. This made his good mood, and he was also particularly motivated.

He asked Tom the black tiger along to the HQ of the Truth Department, which was situated in the Land of Heritage, for a formal discussion with Old Ren about expanding the growing of Yin Attributed medicinal plants.

Tom sprawled on the floor morosely. To him, a whole lot of problems would spring up after growing plants outdoors.

It knew clearly how complicated the surroundings here were, with their abundance of spirits, devils and all. How could it match up to the simplicity of everything back in Morality City?

If it was bored, it could even run to the city and tease some of the felines. In the outdoors, there was nothing like that. Now, the cats outdoors were all strays; not only were they fierce, but they could also carry various types of mutated bacteria.

It was not diligent in the eyes of most cats. Saying that he was lazy was more accurate.

On the contrary, the gray ant was pumped. It had convened a group of its descendants, and they climbed all over and between the black tiger’s rear and head, seemingly singing and dancing.

With more land, the ant could birth more descendants. This was good news to the diligent ants.

In their short lives, there were few moments when they embodied the concepts of relaxing and slacking off.

“The Venerable One’s suggestions from the past few days were astute. Although the Shadow Spirit General is now dead, there are still countless of unbridled spirits and monsters roaming everywhere, and they are still breeding nonstop. With our current defensive power, we cannot cover everywhere in the plots and grounds like before. We can only pick the most pertinent spots to focus our power on. The other plots can be used to plant medicinal plants that aren’t affected by spirits,” Ren Ruofeng said. “In these few days, I’ve already sorted out all the locations required. I’ll pass on everything to this Brother Spirit Tiger later.”

“Mm. Good. Thompson, you and Little Gray here will start working immediately on the restoration,” Fang Ning delegated some instructions to them. Later, he casually asked, “Has Old Qiao resurrected?”

Ren Ruofeng complained, “Now we’re prepared for everything save for the last step. The Bodhisattva is still stuck in the World of Spirits and hasn’t returned yet. What should we do?”

Ren Ruofeng had wanted to press this matter by then, but he thought it would not be appropriate as the Venerable One was busy killing devils. Today, as the other inquired on the matter voluntarily, he found it the right time to raise his question.

“Oh, I see. I’ll try to contact him and ask when he’s going to return,” Fang Ning said courteously.

Deep in his heart, he had also hoped that Old Qiao could resurrect earlier, as this would lessen his stress.

Now, the problem was not that Sir System was short on monsters to farm, but it simply did not have the ability to farm more. In the System’s current level, farming monsters for a century would not even hold a candle to that instantaneous strike just now.

This was how leveling up in the gaming system was special. After advancing to the later stages, the monsters from lower levels were no longer suitable, as killing them was simply inefficient.

It was only a system like him that would never find it tiring. A player himself would have been tired of it way earlier.

“If this is so, then I thank you, Venerable One.” Ren Ruofeng was overjoyed. With Qiao Anping out of commission, he had already felt dissent brewing in the Truth Department as many got ready to oust him from his position with force.

He, as a tactician, had been busy planning and strategizing throughout the year, and so his Cultivation Base had not leveled up. Quite a few young people had highly surpassed him.

Moreover, in the world of cultivation, the people with higher cultivation bases looked down on those without, like how adults always looked at children with some degree of disdain.

Recently Ren Ruofeng had felt that disdain when he gathered up the young teammates for a mission assignment. They had looked at him with a vague sense of resistance.

If he had not had so much support behind him and if they had not just learned a lesson from the debacle in the World of Spirits… Ren Ruofeng would have the reason to believe that they would have chosen to snatch his power from him.

However, those young men were too young. They did not know that there were many kinds of power in this world, and that wisdom was one of the most powerful.

Fang Ning did not know what Ren Ruofeng was thinking about. He only contacted the Green-skinned Frog in secret and asked it to transfer the call to the Bodhisattva Spirit King.

A few minutes later, the Green-skinned Frog transferred his words to Fang Ning. “Master, the Bodhisattva is currently converting a Spirit General. The Spirit General is inherently good, and according to the Bodhisattva, he will be the only way to transform the chaotic essence of the World of Spirits. Also, he’s searching for materials for a treasure of his. He’ll return to Earth in approximately ten days’ time.”

Fang Ning relayed the above to Ren Ruofeng, and the latter relaxed a little. All of it could wait for ten days.

After this was solved, Fang Ning asked Tom the black tiger to stay behind and start on production on the abandoned plots as soon as possible.

…

After the discussion, Fang Ning left the office building of the Truth Department. He had wanted to leave the Land, but then his interest was piqued when he looked upwards and saw the buildings that were arranged orderly.

How was the new life of humans in those buildings?

He thought for a while, assumed invisibility, randomly chose a building and walked towards it.

This building that he chose was over 200 stories tall and was as wide as a soccer field.
