Chapter 1106: Spark

At this moment, System No. 2 suddenly suggested, “Since you don’t want to find someone from below to become your agent, you can find an agent from above. Aren’t there plenty of gods up there currently living in their bitter days, plus the ancient books they have in their hands are probably the most abundant. Why’d you bother with these ordinary people?”

“Hehe, you’re stupid, really stupid.” Fang Ning threw out these words. “Do you think I hadn’t thought about it? At this time, sure enough, I can’t look for them to work together.”

“Could you please explain further?” System No. 2 asked in utter confusion.

“Mysteries of the heaven must not be revealed 1,” Fang Ning said pretentiously.

“Oh, the real body also remarked another item about the host. Likes to be deliberately mystifying and make something unnecessarily complicated. Yet in actual fact, it was frequently an attempt to overreach himself and end up with egg on his face. This seems to be accurate as well,” System No. 2 responded seriously.

“D*mn, how can that b*stard imbue you with all these malicious things about me? Did it say anything nice at all?” Fang Ning felt indignant.

“It did. The real body said that you have your own strong points, it was an impartial System.”

“What’d it say?” Fang Ning overjoyed at the unexpected news.

“It said that working together with you, there’s no need to worry that you’ll destroy the bridge after crossing the river 1. It’s because you’re such a lazy person that you’ll be too lazy to build another bridge…” System No. 2 said expressionlessly.

“…” Fang Ning was on the verge of collapsing.

At this moment, just when Fang Ning wanted to go and find a suitable agent. The conflict below was nearing to an end.

There were streams of blood, crowds of evil doers milling around like wild beasts and frightening screeches. With the accumulation of grievance, delusions as well as greed amongst the gathered rebels. They were quick to crumble in the hands of the strict organization’s imperial household’s army.

Fang Ning took a glance and carried a helpless expression on his face.

“Host, why are you not stopping the conflicts below? Is it really just because you’re lazy?” System No. 2 asked suddenly.

Fang Ning did not notice the slight change and subconsciously retorted. “How could it be because of this reason? The main reason is that my position is on Earth, in China, my friends and relatives, my subordinates and myself. I’m not of the Upper Realm. Sympathizing yes, but to throw my life for them is something that will not do.”

“I see, the real body mentioned that you’d be able to find a reason no matter what. It seems like it was right again.” System No. 2 stated in a flash.

“You need to stop mentioning that second-hand good.” Fang Ning then discovered the slight change in System No. 2 and asked in surprise, “What’s wrong with you today? Why are you actively asking questions? Are you becoming like the Heavenly Book baby, suddenly having your own independent consciousness?”

“Independent consciousness? What’s that, I am just a thread of intelligence of the System,” System No. 2 spoke with no expression.

Fang Ning was too lazy to investigate the changes in this guy, despite myriad changes the system would still cling to its original purpose and position anyway.

He looked below and gave it a thought, then threw a book down from the storage ring he was carrying for reciprocation. He was always someone that believed in equal exchange.

Even though he was disinclined to put the matter into his own hands, arranging a chess piece was still fine.

…

Dong Menqing was fleeing furiously as he relied on his familiarity with the city, he finally managed to escape the cruel firearm soldiers’ wipeout. He leaned back against a corner of a wall and gasped for air. If he continued without a break his heart would jump out of his chest.

He was thirty-three years old this year and read books before but he never went to school which meant that he had no scholarly honor.

Dong Menqing understood reasons and this time his reason for attacking the Wan Bao Pavilion was different from others. He went there for revenge.

The reason was that his fiancée was taken away by the Wan Bao Pavilion’s men ten years ago, to serve as an offering to the gods.

In reality, at the time, the gods had already stopped showing up for a long time. The offering was actually meaningless and was merely the last struggle made by the old forces.

It was just that his cries were insignificant in the light of the setting sun 1.

The people from Wan Bao Pavilion had collaborated with the feudal officials to take his fiancée away.

Therefore, he had no faith in the cultivators nor the feudal officials. In his eyes, the two were of the same kind.

Today’s conflict and bloodshed were further proof of this.

How does one avenge all that hatred? Could it be that one could only hope for one of those scenes from those legendary novels?

Falling down a precipice and taken pity by a god, then granted an ability. Let us just not talk about the fact that there were no more gods in this world since early on. Let us first mention the fact that the Wan Bao Pavilion was initially the gods’ pet. Why would the gods let outsiders slaughter their own pets?

Right at that moment, a ‘plop’ sound was heard. An unadorned and yellowed book fell right before his eyes, almost hitting his head.
