"How can he be the Master of the Earthly Monument? My baby Earthly Monument can only have one Master, and that's me, Daddy System…" the System suddenly said .
"You spied on my thoughts again…" Fang Ning said in displeasure .
"No, I was correcting your thoughts . You always take sides when judging," Sir System said righteously .
"Haha, that's very System-like," Fang Ning was speechless .
He could not be bothered to talk to this retard, so he conversed with Gu Buwei instead .
"What special characteristic does that black carbon have that makes him qualified to be the Master of the Earthly Monument?"
Gu Buwei glanced down and pondered a while before saying solemnly, "It's probably because he's quite down-to-earth…"
"Hm, that explanation was perfect," Fang Ning also looked down and nodded his agreement .
Sir System was ignorant . "Can you two speak in clearer terms? I'm an honest System . I don't understand your roundabout remarks . "
"You're so ignorant . Do you know how magma is formed?"
"Of course I do . Doesn't it erupt from the ground?"
"That's wrong . What Gu Buwei means by 'down-to-earth' is this . This demon probably often immersed itself in magma . It has close contact with the earth, and no one can come close to compare with it . It's only logical that that's the reason why it could become the Master of the Earthly Monument . " Fang Ning said solemnly .
"It's not logical at all . Look at how black he is . He definitely doesn't have any morals . Treasures should only belong to the virtuous . They can only be mine," The System refused to give up and further blackened Lie Huo's reputation .
"Hehe, you're right," Fang Ning naturally would not be biased . After all, he was not a Lunar Spiritual . He said, "The Earthly Monument doesn't have any fixed Master now . What Gu Buwei says doesn't count . The last time, he said that the Divine Monument's Master was someone else, but it ended up being forcibly beaten by Sir System anyway . "
"Oh, Richman Host, you're smart," the System was overjoyed . "Help me think of a way to obtain that Earthly Monument . "
"Think of a way? Right, look for that green-skinned frog . Those two should have a sibling relationship so they should be very close . Maybe we can use that bond and obtain it," Fang Ning was struck by inspiration .
"That's a good idea . You go call it . It's probably scared of me," the System ended up throwing him under the bus anyway .
Fang Ning did not shirk away from the words . He gave up the body to the System without hesitation and went into the System Space .
'Heroes belong to heroes . Treasures belong to me . If they land in another's hands, they might use it to commit evil deeds, but if they land in Sir System's hands, they'll definitely not be used for evil . '
Arriving at the System Preservation Area, the black Divine Monument appeared with a wave of his hand .
He chanted quickly, and the Divine Monument transformed . Bouts of greenish purple colors appeared, making it look extremely valuable .
A green-skinned frog hopped out and looked around the System Space, its two bubble-sized eyes full of doubt .
"I clearly felt that not even one second had passed, but at the same time, I feel that a long time had passed . How strange…"
Fang Ning was surprised, "Brother Frog really is the Divine Monument's spirit . You have a keen intuition . Indeed, the place where you stay is indeed a place where time doesn't flow, which is why you have that feeling . "
Sir System interrupted . "Why're you being so honest for? Why're you telling him everything?"
Fang Ning was speechless, "I'm sincere to my brothers . "
"Hmph, you're definitely trying to fool it again," the System said disdainfully .
System Notification: [The System did not understand the Host's intentions . Intuition has decreased . ]
"Ah, I'm wrong?" the System was in disbelief .
"Hehe, stop being so suspicious of me," Fang Ning was very satisfied . As expected, the System Rules were impartial as ever . It was not like Sir System, who was getting better at playing against the rules .
At this time, the green-skinned frog was pleased . "I also feel that way . You didn't lie to me . You really different from that mysterious existence that beat me up . You're an honest man who performed many meritorious deeds . No wonder Axiom Daddy acknowledged you and allowed you to be my master . "
"Hehe, the pleasure's all mine," Fang Ning started acting .
"Damn it, this result was only because I seized you in the first place, but you ended up getting all the benefits," the System was very displeased .
Fang Ning ignored the System's dissatisfaction and chatted happily with the green-skinned frog .
"Oh, right . Did you need me for something? The next Stairway to Heaven event is around two months away . In the future, when the potential of the various races are determined, the intervals between the events will get longer and longer," the green-skinned frog said doubtfully .
"Oh, thanks for the notice, Brother Frog . I wanted to ask you, are you familiar with the Earthly Monument?" Fang Ning did not beat around the bush . Since he already established himself as an honest and straightforward person in front of the frog, he would carry on that way .
"Familiar, you say . Axiom Daddy created three monuments, which are the Heavenly, Earthly, and Mortal Monuments . They would all appear at different times, and since I'm the oldest, I appeared first… Sigh, I shouldn't have come out so early . The one who comes out first gets unlucky first too…" the green-skinned frog stretched out a small, short leg, and touched the smooth skin with a look of lingering fear painted on its face .
'This frog was really beaten up by Sir System…' Fang Ning thought secretly, turning .
"Who told it to refuse to yield? I could only continue pummelling it to death," the System said plausibly .
Fang Ning was too lazy to deal with Sir System's snooping, and continued speaking to the frog, "Do you know what condition the Earthly Monument is in now? I hope Brother Frog can tell me if you know . Here are some Dragon Clan Honey-flavoured Pills . They're a gift to you, they have healing properties . "
Fang Ning took out two light red pills from the System Preservation Area after speaking and handed them over to the green-skinned frog . The pills emitted a sweet aroma .
"Oh, thank you, thank you . " the green-skinned frog's large eyes brightened . It stuck out its long, white tongue, and gulped down the two pills .
"It's so delicious . There's none other like this on Earth," after swallowing, the green-skinned frog immediately guaranteed .
"This was created using the Upper Realm Dragon Clan's secret technique . Of course there are none produced on Earth," explained Fang Ning .
"I see," said the green-skinned frog, "you're asking about the Earthly Monument . That's simple . It's similar to me, but yellowish-brown in color, and it's also slightly smaller . I'm 10 meters tall, but it's only around 5 meters tall . "
'What's the point of knowing that?' Fang Ning was incredibly speechless . He asked directly, "Does it have any special hobbies?"
"Hehe, you're thinking of making him acknowledge you as its master?" the green-skinned frog chuckled .
Fang Ning rubbed his head and acted sheepishly . "It's just that since I've seen how amazing Brother Frog is, I'm afraid your Earthly Monument sibling would fall into the wrong hands and be used to shed blood . "
"Hehe, you really are an honest person . Axiom Daddy doesn't care about that at all . It doesn't matter if we fall into good or bad hands as long as they have large potential and fast development . " the green-screen frog said noncommittally .
"Please tell me, Brother Frog," Fang Ning asked again .
"Hm, well, it doesn't have any particular hobbies, but it should be more afraid of beatings than I am…" the green-skinned frog croaked for half a day before conceding due to the gift Fang Ning gave it, and said one sentence .
"Haha, that makes things much easier," the System interrupted .
"Yep . With your abuse of power, the Earthly Monument won't be able to escape from your clutches . "
"Watch what you say . Hitting is affection, and scolding is loving . I only hit my two beloved treasures because I care for them . It's to get them back on the right track," Sir System said justly .
Fang Ning asked the frog bluntly, "Do you know what functions the Earthly Monument has?"
The green-skinned frog said casually, "It's not that useful, but…"
The green-skinned frog continued to speak for ten minutes straight, which showed that it was not completely useless either . . .
Fang Ning listened attentively . Rarely, the System did not interrupt a single time .
After listening, the System firmly said, "A treasure like that, who else would it belong to if not me? I'll definitely not let it fall into that black carbon's hands . It'll only be a waste of a perfectly good gift . "
After the conversation ended, Fang Ning had a rough idea of what to do . He asked for the body back and spoke a few words with Gu Buwei before walking away .
Gu Buwei was surprised to see this and secretly thought, 'I never expected the Venerable One would act so differently than before . Is he really not interested in this Earthly Monument?
'Right, he must have seen that another person was already here, so he left because he did not want to bully the weak .
'As expected, he's a chivalrous character, not like those unscrupulous and crafty powerhouses . I can be at ease when dealing with people like him .
'At least, I won't have to worry that it'll end up like the novel I read earlier . I don't have to worry about him ending up alone when searching for treasure . '
He saw Vigilante A leave and turned back to look at the black carbon in the magma pool before shaking his head . "You're just a little demon, but you really have some destiny . If it were an ordinary person, you'll be used to further someone else's goal . "
At this time, red flames started rising from the magma pool .
The volcanic rat demon Lie Huo was exercising its technique as if it was absorbing all the energy of the magma . It mixed that with vitality and started cultivation .
It turned out that its natural trait was very special . It could transform the ancient magma heat energy between heaven and earth and convert that into its personal magical energy by using vitality as a catalyst .
That was very frightening . No wonder it could rush to Pond-level in just a short period of one year . It really had a strong destiny . Translated from the Chinese saying "打是疼,骂是爱", used to describe a parent's desire to raise upright children by beating and scolding them for their wrongdoings
