Seized by the System

Hearing that, Fang Ning nodded silently. Looks like the Heavenly Axiom in real life was not as mysterious as it was lauded to be.

It still followed the basic rule, knowing to test things out before eating the moon.

After all, it had never had it, so it had to prevent itself from choking…

The Heavenly Axiom’s operation was the same as always. It did not follow its whims, but instead following its usual processes.

Misha, on the other hand, had overslept to the point of forgetting the Heavenly Axiom’s experiments.

After hearing the two’s conversation, all the observers were slightly worried.

If it were normal government servants, they would already be executed if they make mistakes like this, and it would not be unjustified.

However, they had no way of doing that now. The Spirit Bear was a supernatural being, uncontrolled by human laws.

All its behaviors were born from its hearts. The only thing that could control it was probably the faith of the Russians.

However, it evidently did not care much about the wants of its citizens, or it would not have taken naps so openly, leaving out precious messages from the Heavens again and again…

This was still the early stage of the Era of Vitality where super powerhouses were rare. With the Venerable Dragon God around, he could still keep the peace.

When the Era of Vitality entered its climactic chapter, an uncountable number of super powerhouses would rise.

What would happen in that situation?

Even if the Venerable Dragon God was strong, could he handle waves after waves of challengers with differing personalities and power?

Many of them began worrying.

Fang Ning noticed the expressions on the people around and immediately understand what they were thinking. He was secretly really smug about it.

He did not have worries like that. These people would not have known, but with the System taking over his body, he would not have wasted even a second. Furthermore, it could run ten threads at once. Who would be able to compare to the System’s rate of growth?

He could totally stand aside and watch as it unfurls.

As Fang Ning was fantasizing, the System said in displeasure, “Hmph, now you think of the pros about having me… When you were just playing, you kept trying to utilize my loopholes, you even mastered electricity generation with spiritual sense just so you could connect to the internet… I don’t even know how to do that.”

“You’re not being fair again and read my thoughts. How could my self-entertainment be called playing? That’s called work-life balance and relaxation. My mastering of electric generation and internet connection express my creativity and hardworking. A certain sage had said that one should reap what they sow so that we can self-sustain. I’m following entirely what the sage had advised.” Fang Ning retorted defiantly.

‘Ugh… you’re just a wisecracker. Even Cang Lang was completely defeated by your trash talk. I’m just an honest system, so I definitely could not fight you in that regard.” The System said bitterly.

“Stop spouting nonsense. The Spirit Bear had made itself really clear. The moon would be gone in six months, we need to make the most of our time tying up loose ends.” Fang Ning changed the subject immediately, not wanting to spar with the System.

“I don’t understand, please speak frankly, what loose ends do we need to tie up?” The System asked in boredness.

“You don’t even know this? Simply, it means to give me a report of all your assets and sources of income, and I will arrange a new place for them to do. For example, the Fang Family Food Paradise had just been built after all this time. We need to floodproof it in case tsunami happened… actually, it doesn’t seem like it would help.” Fang Ning tried scamming the System again, but as soon as the words left his mouth, it suddenly seemed like a flimsy excuse.

“That’s easy. By then, I’ll just move the Fang Family Food Paradise directly into Morality City so we wouldn’t have to rebuild it, that’s so wasteful…” The System said nonchalantly.

“Sss… You surprise me. You’re really that powerful?” Fang Ning was astounded.

As expected, when he was working hard, the System probably worked a hundred times harder. It was surprised at his innovative ideas, but he was shocked by its power’s upper limit.

Its true power was probably as deep and as immeasurable as the ocean.

‘That’s better, actually…’

After getting over his surprise, Fang Ning was quietly pleased.

“Naturally. Didn’t you see how strong I was when we went to Mars and your Axiom Daddy couldn’t control me? The power of an Inner-Sea-level could move mountains and fill up seas, how difficult would it be to move a tiny building complex?” The System said proudly.

“Uh, I’m still a little confused. I remember your signature cultivation techniques were still Legendary-level. Legendary-level Dragonization Ability, Legendary-level Atmospheric Morality Technique, Legendary-level True Bodhi Tactics, and some other random ones like the Heavensward Sword Technique. How did you manage to raise your power to Inner-Sea-level?” Fang Ning decided to figure out the System’s trump cards in order to pretend to be badass better in the future…

“You want to know? Then tell me how you managed to generate electricity with spiritual sense. I do know someone who could generate electricity, could it be that you have learned to do that? That’s important to me.” The System continued.

“Uh, you still have a while before you can deceive me. I won’t ask you how you managed to become an Inner-Sea-level, I won’t be able to copy you anyway. Besides, the higher your strength, the better it is for me.” Fang Ning immediately shut up.

‘Psh, if I said it, this idiot could interrupt my spiritual sense with just about any tiny tricks.

‘New system notifications would probably replace the old ones, like “Spiritual sense electricity generation has failed” or something.’

“Dammit, do you think I wouldn’t know as long as you don’t tell me? You only need to activate it for a few more times before I discover how you do it,” scowled the System.

“Be my guest then. You’re just a martial arts-based system, you wouldn’t be able to figure out the in-depth theories of electromagnetic conversion. This is a specialty of science and engineering students.” Fang Ning was confident.

“Determination will eventually be recognized by the heavens. If I could subject myself to all kinds of hardship in order to achieve that, I can definitely learn to do it like you.” The System mumbled before it began to talk about work, “My other assets can be done the same way. If a tsunami comes, I’ll move them all into Morality City.”

“Mm, not bad, you even thought of that, maybe you might actually be able to learn electromagnetic conversion? Nah, that’s incompatible with your system. Without that compatibility, even a genius will turn into a turd.” Fang Ning was not worried at all.

He reminded, “When you move your assets, remember to wait until everyone has evacuated. You should not let other people find out, so you should only do it discreetly.”

“I know, I shouldn’t sabotage my fame. Otherwise, other people would think that we only care about ourselves.” The System said, having understood what Fang Ning was implying.

“You’re really become good, I don’t even have to explain anything anymore.” Fang Ning was pleased, he no longer needed to explain things to the System.

He sent a text to Ren Ruofeng, explaining everything he had from the bear.

“The information is correct. Six months later, the moon will disappear…”

…

In the adviser’s office of the Truth Department, a brand new mirror decorated the room.

Ren Ruofeng sat in front of the mirror, his chin supported by his hands as if he was making a difficult decision.

“Looks like we need to be quick, things should escalate really soon.”

After mumbling to himself for a while, he opened his right palm and said in a low voice, “Piggy, come out.”

A cute white jade piglet sculpture appeared in his palm.

“What is it? I’m having a chat with my wife, so don’t disturb our personal moment. It’s not common that her new master is so free, so we have only a little time for us.”

“Ugh…” Ren Ruofeng rolled his eyes. “I have an urgent matter, I need two minutes. Call Darkling One, activate the mission. Code: Rathunt!”

“Mm, I’ll do it right now.” Jade white piglet sculpture knew how to prioritize. Its body flashed red for a split second.

Soon, it yelped, “Sh*t, I can’t contact Darkling One!”

“What?!” Ren Ruofeng was given the shock of his life as he shot up!

“Oh, I just got him online. He was taking a nap,” said the piglet three seconds later. “I’m sorry, Old Man Ren. It seemed I scared you. I’ve told him what you told me, he said he’ll immediately carry out the mission.”

“That’s good. Looks like my self-restraint was still not good enough.” Ren Ruofeng shook his head, sat down on his chair, and groomed himself while looking at the mirror.

“Oh, I’ll go back to chatting with my wife then. Call if you need me.” The piglet shifted in its place and disappeared from Ren Ruofeng’s palm.

“Mm, thank you for your service. Oh right, Piggy, have you thought about a reunion for your family?” Ren Ruofeng asked casually.

“What, is that for real?” Jade white piglet sculpture rematerialized in his palm, asking nervously.

“That’s right. If our mission succeeds this time, your merit will be the greatest, so you should be able to take a few days off, isn’t it? You should use this opportunity to reunite with your family for a few days. After all, our organization takes care of our employees’ familial relationship…” Ren Ruofeng swallowed his saliva in the end.

“Great! My wife is working for this insect. You know it, its name is Daqing. It didn’t need my wife to do much recently, so I get to talk to her.” the piglet sculpture said excitedly.

“Oh, of course I’m familiar with it. It’s a friend of the Venerable Dragon God, a good kid.” Ren Ruofeng sighed. “It won’t stop you from reuniting with your wife. You’ve been with me for so long and have accumulated merit as well as poured in hard work. You even stayed behind the scene without anyone knowing. Whatever it is, I have to pay you back.”

“Heh, looks like you do have a heart. Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on the other side to make sure the plan succeeds.” Jade white piglet sculpture was immediately filled with motivation.

“Mm, I’m glad. Just be careful. The other side is extremely dangerous. Darkling One is constantly surrounded by demons, if something was wrong, it’ll turn into an irrevocable situation. This next step is really important, I’ve handled it on my own until now. Only in the new era can I execute this sort of plan.” Ren Ruofeng looked satisfied with himself when he was finished.

“That’s right, Old Man Ren, I’ve always been impressed by your wisdom. That plan is basically striking at the heart of the solution, like the turtledove that took over the magpie’s nest ¹ … isn’t it?” Jade white piglet sculpture began toadying to Ren Ruofeng.

“Heh, you’ve improved. That’s absolutely correct,” said Ren Ruofeng as he nodded.
