Seized by the System

“Mr. Rich Boss, Mr. Rich Boss. Stop sleeping, the Sun is already high up in the sky but these days, it suddenly turns dark once in a while, I’m puzzled.”

Fang Ning slowly woke up sleepily on the bed in the green lounge.

“What does it have to do with us if the Sun turns dark or not? Perhaps it is just covered by the clouds…” Fang Ning was unbothered.

“You’re bullsh*tting again. You clearly know that I fly through the clouds every day, they can’t even obstruct my view of the Sun.” The System was disgruntled.

Upon hearing that, Fang Ning silently put a thumbs up, and replied with respect, “I’ll give you a full score for your attempt in pretending to be awesome.”

“Ah? What am I pretending? I simply stated a fact. I’m not like you, you always think about pretending.” The System was in disdain.

“Hehe, is that so? But since you can see that the Sun is starting to turn dark every now and then, needless to say, Axiom Daddy is starting to make a move on the Sun.” Fang Ning talked nonsense with a serious face.

“Tss…” The System gasped. “This, how can this be? Although I’m a martial art system, I still have a pretty good idea of how big the Sun is. The Earth is so little, forget when it swallowed the Moon, it’s almost impossible if it wants to make a move on the Sun…”

“Be more civilized!” Fang Ning immediately yelled at it after it said that, “You’re a heroic system, you must have self-discipline, don’t be polluted by those words on the Internet. It doesn’t matter if you tell me about it but if you accidentally mention this outside, what will happen to Vigilante A’s reputation and image?”

“Uh, I was wrong, I was slacking just now so I just replicated a comment on the Internet.” The System quickly admitted his mistake.

“Eh, why are you being so honest?” Fang Ning was puzzled.

“My chivalrous virtue suddenly dropped a little just now, I’m really dispirited.” The System replied angrily.

“It’s just as I’ve expected. If it wasn’t for the restraint of the Chivalry Rules, based on the moral integrity you constantly portray, you would’ve degenerated into a wicked system long ago…” Fang Ning was speechless.

“That’s impossible, impossible…” The System’s voice was getting softer as it said. Clearly, it had self-knowledge.

“Enough with the blabbering. Don’t tell anyone about Axiom Daddy making a move on the Sun, I think that it’ll be another big project. Back then, the Moon case took over a year’s time altogether, and that was also because there were topographic advantages. For the Sun, I wonder how Axiom Daddy will do it?” Fang Ning held its chin, and acted like a renowned detective.

“Why don’t you just ask your dragon ancestor?”

“How can it be so easy? It’s not like you’re unaware of the huge resources we would need, we can only summon it once if we have 50 Favorability Points. Now, we haven’t successfully bred it. The last time we summoned it once, all the Celestial Dragon’s Favorability have been cleared, how much do we have now?”

“Oh, currently there’s only one Celestial Dragon Form • Wood that has 5 Favorability Points for you, the others never increased again after they were cleared. It looks like your dragon ancestor’s vitality was severely injured after being summoned the last time. Though I’ve accomplished a couple of good deeds for you, it didn’t increase your Favorability.” The System was confused.

“Really? They’re probably a bunch of geeky dragons, they won’t come out come out.” Fang Ning felt extremely regretful.

“Could it be they have the same attributes as you? It’s impossible, how can you compare to a True Dragon?” The System was uncertain.

“Damn it, what do you mean by I can’t compare to a dragon? Everyone outside says that I’m the descendant of a True Dragon from the upper realm, alright? Even Anderson made the closest guess, they also believe that I’m the combination of the True Dragon of the upper realm and a smart version of AI…”

“Zhi Nan won’t say the same, he knows that you’re Vigilante A.” The System refuted.

“Uh, he’s a fellow with extremely profound intelligence… He really has some skills.” Fang Ning could only admit this honestly.

“Which also means that your armor can only fool some idiots.” The System commented proudly.

“Yes, and you’re the one I fool the most.” Fang Ning agreed, and rejoined confidently.

“Damn it, I was tricked again…” The System was very dismayed.

“Enough with the nonsense. Right, why did you wake me up so early?” Fang Ning was very pleased as he won the verbal argument.

“Oh, Old Yellow called just now, it asked us to inspect the opening ceremony of the Scientific Academy for Vitality. It has looked for quite a number of manpower, and hopes that we’ll go over to support the event…” The System explained faintly.

“You should’ve told me earlier, look at the time now, I better clean up myself quickly.” Halfway listening to the System, Fang Ning rushed over to the floor-standing mirror in the lounge…

Afterward, he ran back again and demanded, “Hand the body over to me now.”

“Did you just notice that you’re a ghost now…you can’t look at yourself in the mirror.” The System gloated.

“Ghost your a**. I won’t go then, settle it yourself.” Fang Ning used the lethal tactic.

“Nonsense, I’m not as good at deceiving as you are. You’re the best at lifting morale.” The System quickly threw the responsibility back at him.

“No, no, you’ve learned enough. Two days ago, the words you used to trick the Crimson-mantled Woodpecker were very classic ‘For all the beings in the world’, I wouldn’t have thought of that.” Fang Ning tossed the ball back to the System.

“Forget it then if you’re really not going…”

“Don’t, I’ll go, I’ll go.” At last, Fang Ning said truthfully.

…

In Morality City, there stood a skyscraper that was fully covered in shades of blue, which looked like it had just been completed. At the entrance of the building, a gigantic colorful banner was hung – “The Inauguration Ceremony of the Academy of Vitality…”.

Fang Ning was seen taking pictures with a group of people at the colorful banner, he had an indifferent posture, and appeared to be extra outstanding.

He had arrived here through a reserved carriage in the Golden Train.

This was its difference from the Draconic Arcane Realm, and the System Space.

Morality City was formerly a Yin Energy Realm, a relatively independent space.

The System could only control the Heavenly Axiom of the arcane realm through the Sky Blue Orb but could not travel back an forth anytime, anywhere.

If they wanted to enter it, the only was still through the Death Train.

“Owner, thank you for sparing your time amidst your pressing affairs, I’m really touched.” Once they were done with the group photos, Xue Ba the yellow dog went up to Fang Ning to fawn over him.

“Knowledge is productivity. Even as the era changes, it doesn’t mean that knowledge becomes useless, it only means that knowledge needs to be renewed and reformed, this is one of the purposes of the Acadamy of Vitality’s establishment. No matter how busy I get, I’ll personally come to take a look.” Looking like an inspector, Fang Ning rejoined seriously.

Xue Ba immediately nodded its head, and agreed with it as it said to the others around them, “Owner, your instructions are very right, and you really value the academy’s establishment. We will surely work hard in the research, and show some results soon to not let you down. This way, you’ll receive enormous investments too…”

The people who were in the group photo consisted of people of all ages, and all gender. Upon hearing that, they nodded their heads one after another.

They did not flatter or fawn over the vigilante like the yellow dog, instead, it came from their hearts.

At a time like this, it was truly rare that a private-led academy was willing to spend money on researching fundamental theory systems.

Most people pursued the completion of a certain ability, and were eager to see results in a few years, a few months, or even a few days. How could they have the patience and the funds to execute this work on basic theories?

That was because research on fundamental theory might not even show results for tens of years.

On a contrary, the reputable Venerable Dragon God who was number one in strength paid so much importance to knowledge, science, and technology. It was evident that he truly deserved his fame as he had such great foresight.

Due to his actions, ordinary people were able to understand that in the Era of Vitality, not only the cultivation of abilities, research work in fundamental theories was also important.

Fang Ning took a look at his surroundings as he enjoyed the admirable looks from the people.

This was how a real man should be like. One should be able to gain approval from top-notch people, and only then, one could take pleasure in pretending to be awesome.

Right now, he particularly understood why leaders were keen on making inspections…

Over here, these people were elites, professionals from different areas, and their characters were qualified.

Owing to the Vigilante A’s reputation, they had roped in massive funds, plenty of cultivation books, and a group of top-notch talents. Moreover, they were able to pick the best of the best.

As for Xue Ba who had mastered the Atmospheric Morality Technique, although its ability to evaluate people was not as good as Vigilante A’s, it was able to sense if one had morality, which was convenient for it to select people.

In the past, those who tried to swindle about their knowledge were probably able to make their way through but presently, Xue Ba could identify at once if one possessed morality or not.

Xue Ba the yellow dog was truly a lackey. Whenever it carried out a task, it ensured that Fang Ning would be satisfied, unlike human lackeys who would use tricks to make up the funds and the accounts.
