'Having given my underlings all the difficult tasks, I shall hole myself up…no, control the entire game so the System would not deviate from its true goal . '
With these thoughts, Fang Ning started surfing the net contentedly .
Vigilante A soared back up into the sky to see the world… No, to farm monsters .
After half a day, Fang Ning noticed that the System Notifications were pretty strange .
[The Black Dog Brett is under fatal threat in XX area; the Thousand-Mile Assistance is activated . ]
[The threat on the Black Dog Brett has been resolved . ]
[The Black Dog Brett is under fatal threat in XXX area; the Thousand-Mile Assistance is activated . ]
…
That poor black pooch had to donate blood as well as help Sir reclaim parts of the map . It was constantly poisoned nearly to death .
The key point was that it was actually enjoying it, with some sort of confused pride .
Fang Ning felt sympathetic towards this poor manipulated boy, and decided to privately give it more rejuvenation .
The golden chain that the dog forged for itself was already long and heavy enough . He would allow it to loosen it a bit…
He regarded himself as a kind boss, not an evil capitalist .
After that he praised, "You are very smart, Sir System . After detecting the activation of the Thousand-Mile Assistance, as soon as the threat is removed, the map will still be active for 24 hours . That Black Dog had been cultivating hard to regain its strength and no one could help you with your map, which is why you've never used this setting . Now, that Black Dog is good at burrowing, it's pretty effective to have it as assistance in creating a world map . I thought you didn't know . "
The System replied, "Rubbish . How can I not know this? It's just that Black Dog's power had not fully recovered earlier, and its slow speed is useless for this task . But you? You've been secretly going online, and that double-S qualification of yours is still at Bucket level after cultivating for so long . You must have been lax in your cultivation . Have you started puffing up that ego after seeing me instantly farm monsters?"
Fang Ning said defiantly, "What puffing up? I'm accumulating theoretical knowledge and looking for inspiration . That world modification theory I told you about was found on the net . Else, you probably would finish them off within half a year . They aren't stupid; if they can't survive above ground, then they would go under . Then, it would be hard to make a map for that . Only by farming monsters and encouraging them to copulate can we go on a path where we can continuously rise in level . "
The System continued, "Oh, I don't understand . . . well, go on finding inspiration online, Big Billionaire . If we ever need you to come out to rescue us, I guess we are already finished . "
Fang Ning felt slightly sheepish at this . "Never mind, since you said it in such a serious way . I'd need to work overtime and cultivate for some time to reach Pond-level quicker . Then, I would have confidence in controlling the Dragon God once I summon it . "
. . .
The black cat Tom had been very busy these days with something important .
It had just heard about Vigilante A's work in destroying the Japanese serpent, and it felt very regretful .
"Too bad, too bad . If I'd known he'd be there, I would have hidden out there earlier and set up the Altar of Death . That serpent is large, not good in fighting and evil, but it had its own unique method of cultivation and could absorb the Power of Fear .
"It's divided into eight heads . When one's power has accumulated to the limit of this world, it would grow another . Now that two has been slain, how much Power of Fear can be released?"
'Why don't I disguise myself and become one of Vigilante A's followers?
'I've heard that he keeps many animals there . There are dogs, birds, even rodents and insects . Another black cat named Tom would fit in . '
The black cat Tom spent some effort ignoring that surely fatal thought . Even if the Death's Shadow Disguise was good, it did not want to bet its life on it .
After all, a leopard would not change its spots, and once it showed its cruel character that liked to anticipating-death, the other could spot it immediately . That was hard to disguise .
Black Cat Tom, lost in its thoughts, sighed, and its nimble form suddenly vanished into thin air .
Soon, it appeared before a mysterious face .
Here was an underground castle .
Here was an underground castle .
Before it was a young white man in an all-black suit . With his evil eyes and handsome features, he looked very much like a domineering president of a company .
His head was lowered as he read the newspaper . The content was in German, and had a large bold headline as well as a very clear photograph .
Das Hotel Pharos im Osten leuchtet die ganze Welt
(The Pharos of the East Illuminates The World)
The picture contained a Chinese man much more handsome than he was, his body well-built and powerful . His whole being was suffused with a look of righteousness .
"Vigilante A, the Venerable Dragon God . What is his real name? Herr Tom, can you answer my question?"
The evil man asked mildly . He may look human, but he was in fact a demon .
The Eastern Underworld had Greater Rats, and the Western one had demons .
Those Greater Rats, having stolen the food thrown away by humans each day, had always learned from humans and tried to be independent . With help from Greater Rats from the Upper Realm, they had partly achieved this goal and started building their own underground kingdom .
Those demons, however, lived on the lifeblood of human beings .
They infiltrated different associations in many lands, and used their position to take food or even human lives . To them, "being independent" was bulls**t .
In the demons' opinion, humans were born to be their slaves and sheep, so they should rightly serve them, since demons were at a higher level of the food chain .
They would never do all demeaning and dirty work as long as they had strength .
The Elite Nightmare Demon slain by Vigilante A was one of them, which used human lives as food for its growth .
Black Cat Tom said, "Herr Claude, no one knows his real name, and he's never mentioned it . His past is unknown, but he is definitely one of the Descended, and a spirit of a True Dragon which has descended into a human host and slowly cultivated the methods of the Dragon Clan before finally reverting to the form of a dragon . "
Black Cat Tom said, "Herr Claude, no one knows his real name, and he's never mentioned it . His past is unknown, but he is definitely one of the Descended, and a spirit of a True Dragon which has descended into a human host and slowly cultivated the methods of the Dragon Clan before finally reverting to the form of a dragon . "
Claude nodded . "If so, why are you here, Herr Tom?"
Black Cat Tom smiled strangely . "Herr Claude, you and your tribe are in danger, don't you know?"
Claude nodded . "I know, which is why I am meeting you . What does Herr Tom have to tell me?"
Black Cat Tom did not beat around the bush . "Your Highness now has two ways out; fight or flight . However, where are you planning to flee? You have always hidden among humans, and never did think of building your own underground kingdom . "
Claude shook his head . "I don't think there are many places to hide . That black dog is too powerful; wherever it goes, it seems to be able to distinguish the smell of any species different from Vigilante A . Pity, we are all different to from rats in the East; we don't like living underground but prefer the villas and castles of humans . Vigilante A, except for hating to go underground, could go anywhere . "
Black cat Tom tried to manipulate him . "Why don't you choose a spot, sir, gather manpower and topple this Pharos in one fell swoop?"
Claude rubbed his chin, putting down his newspaper . He had a weird expression on his face . "No need for all that trouble . This Vigilante A calls himself a fighter for justice . Good . So Herr Tom can send out word asking him to commit suicide or watch us massacre a hundred thousand people . If that's not enough, then one million, even ten million is no problem .
"No matter whether he agrees or not, it will be a large blow on him . It will teach him a lesson on self-control . Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!"
Black Cat Tom, hearing the laughter of the other, shivered .
It had planned to manipulate him into gathering a strong troop of clan members in a place to fight Vigilante A to the death . Then, it could also gather some of the Power of Death .
However, it had forgotten that this Demon before it had a much lower bottom line than it could ever imagine .
Black Cat Tom, of course, would never allow the other to do so . Murdering ordinary citizens like this was something Death would never allow . It disobeyed Death's most basic rule which could be developed continuously .
So it shook its head . "It's useless, Herr Claude . All newspapers hire stupid reporters, who mold Vigilante A into the Pharos of the East and the ambassador of justice . He's actually cultivating the Path of Heavenly Punishment, and the Heavenly Axiom is merciless, which is why there were initially people who thought he was cultivating the Merciless Path .
"No matter how many people you murder, he will not be affected . He would just come and give you a stab with his sword . The fact you had killed many increases the grievous number of sins you've committed; he would actually get rewarded by the Heavenly Aziom and have a vast improvement in terms of strength . So, your highness, that idea is just you thinking highly of yourself which would only bring failure instead of success . "
Claude froze at his words, and a furious embarrassment flashed across his face . His wild laughter stopped .
He pondered for a moment and immediately understood . This cat spoke the truth; rumor had it that Vigilante A would have an enormous increase in power each time he slew a monster . "No wonder it's been known that the Global Power Balance Association has always been at odds with him, yet you've never taken such a step . I'd thought you were a bunch of do-gooders, when you'd all already known it would be ineffective . Those imbecilic short-lived people who kept wrapping him up with that Ambassador of Justice nickname just needed some sort of spiritual support, " he nodded .

Tom then let out a breath of relief . Dealing with this sort of cruel Dark guys was too complicated . Their line of thought was strange and weird, without any moral bottom line .
"So, it has to be like what Herr Tom mentioned . Gather enough manpower, then topple and crush this Eastern Pharos!" Claude said coldly .
Black Cat Tom then smiled briefly . Mission accomplished .
. . . . .
On the African savanna, on a riverbank where rushes grew, Vigilante A had destroyed an enormous man-eating crocodile which had hidden in the river for a very long time with a single sword stroke, and removed its carcass .
Those black people who had rushed over earlier raised their arms and shouted in celebration . Most of them were settlers on both sides of the river who had long been tormented by it . Many knelt on the floor, prostrating themselves before him . They obviously saw him as some sort of god .
Most of them were elderly and weak . Those who were able enough had long left this area, leaving those people who could not make a living in other places behind .
They breed and catch fish in the river each day, and the thing they worried most about was the sudden appearances of the man-eating crocodiles .
After the place regained Vitality, one of the crocodiles, unique in itself, had been enlightened .
It soon discovered that catching humans was much easier than catching those quick and nimble gazelles…
Those humans react slowly and were easily scared; they could be downed easily with a pounce . Most importantly, there were many of them, much more than gazelles .
Man-eating crocodiles were not exactly news, and after acquiring wisdom, it had made it famous .
Its armor-like scaly skin cannot be pierced by bullets or destroyed by cannonballs, and normal armed regiments could not do anything .
Here, there was no hope of any official intervention . Before the restoration of Vitality, no one intervened in the ordinary feuds, and even more when those monsters wreaked havoc .
However, Vigilante A, expressionless, had just flown away like a true god from the heavens .
Having given my underlings all the difficult tasks, I shall hole myself up…no, control the entire game so the System would not deviate from its true goal .
