System Space, in the blacksmith's forge .
A row of treasures and sapient tools pathetically waited in lines, rehearsing various battle arrays and receiving emergency training…
They came in all shapes and sizes .
There were birds, beasts, people, things… With their numbers, it was as if most of the sapient creatures in the world had gathered .
“Sigh, why is that mysterious existence so hateful?”
“Yeah, some brothers were just slightly slower, but were almost beaten to death . They're all black and blue now . This really is hateful . ”
“Sigh, before, we were the apple in our masters' eyes . We were loved…”
“About that, the three of us weren't . We've been in that dark storage artifact for hundreds of years . It's excellent to be able to come out to see the light and get some fresh air . ”
Among the blue and black treasures, only three were different and in good condition .
They were the green zither, the brown brush, and the ink landscape painting .
“Hmph, if you three hadn't taken the initiative to bow and bend the knee, you wouldn't have encouraged that mysterious existence's arrogance and caused him to readily beat us up . We can't even take a break…”
The brown brush took the lead in explaining, “My dear friend, there's a saying in the books, 'a wise man submits to circumstances', and 'a fine bird chooses the tree it nests in' . Since our bodies already belong to Cao, our hearts can't remain with Han 1 . Only then will you be able to go far in life . ”
As the brush spoke, a slightly invisible ripple streaked across the various sapient tools .
“That's true . ”
“A strict tutor raises a brilliant student . There's a saying in the books, 'Sweat more in peaceful times, bleed less in troubled times, and never shed tears after the battle' . Those beatings are all that sage's ardent love . You were always well-fed and well-treated by your master, and have not undergone harsh training at all . You need this age to properly refine you . ” The brown brush shook its head .
“Oh, that makes sense . ” All the sapient tools were completely fooled .
“However, we're going to the battlefield soon . What's the use of suddenly rushing us?”
“My brother, of course there's a use . As the saying goes, 'it'll help somehow even if you prepare at the last moment' . You naturally won't be able to score full marks after a rushed job, but at least you'll have a good chance of scoring a passing grade . ” The brown brush continued to coax .
A group of sapient tools nodded one after the other . Their resentment had decreased quite a lot .
Fang Ning was very surprised as he looked on from the outside, and started to praise .
He asked the System, “What exactly did that brown brush do? He can fool others better than me . ”
“Oh, that's one of its Natural Trait Abilities, 'Spring Autumn Writing Technique' 2 . It's specialized in fooling others . The zither, book, and painting all have a Natural Trait Ability . Daqing really was too wasteful . ” Sir System lamented .
“I see . In that case, I'll have to get closer to it . ” Fang Ning nodded .
“Don't even think about it . Don't you dare approach any of these sapient tools . ” Sir System quickly said .
“You're so stingy . Are you afraid they'll 'choose their tree to nest in'?” Fang Ning said disdainfully .
“Who cares about you? I'm rehearsing now, and I'm about to go on a killing spree later . You just do whatever you want…” Sir System chased Fang Ning away from its blacksmith's forge .
“Fine, I'll leave . Wait, my, my head hurts…” Fang Ning clutched his head and collapsed on the limestone board of the System Space .
“What? Mr . Rich Host, what's wrong with you?” Sir System asked, concerned .
After a while, Fang Ning stood up . He looked around in a daze with unfocused eyes .
“Where is this? Who am I? Were you calling me?” He said timidly, like a child who had just graduated from kindergarten 20 years ago…
“Oh f*ck, did you really lose your memories?” Sir System seemed to be extremely confused . It muttered, “That's impossible . I'm God in the System Space . How can the Heavenly Axiom outside do anything here? Did it sneak a law on one of these treasures, and you were affected by it?”
“I don't understand . Can you speak more clearly?” Fang Ning was still ignorant .
“Wait, let me check your mental state . ” Sir System said seriously .
Then, a System Notification appeared .
[The System began to inspect the Host's mental state . ]
[The System discovered that part of the Host's memory is sealed . ]
[The System tried to remove the seal…]
[Removal failed . Trying again will consume Astronomical Figures of Experience Points . The System decided to give up . ]
“Uh, you've really finally lost your memory…” The System suddenly said, and then immediately took it back and shed crocodile tears, “Sigh, and honest person has many trials, but don't worry, I won't give up on you . After all, we're one and the same . What's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine . I'll wait for the day when you return to normal . ”
“I don't understand . I just feel that my head is heavy, it's really heavy . I want to take a rest first . ” Fang Ning said while holding his head .
“Huh? Don't you want to know who you are?” The System hurriedly asked .
“Then who am I? Who are you?” Fang Ning was still confused .
“Well, you, and all those guys there are all my servants . Your name is Fang Ning . I'm the master of this place, my name is the System . You can call me Lord Tong 3 . You've just lost your memory because you were schemed against by the heavens outside, but don't worry, I'll foster you again and guarantee that you'll be better than before . ” The System quickly fooled .
“That sounds weird . I have this feeling that it's supposed to be the other way round…” Fang Ning hesitated .
“Look at you, I've always been the honest Lord Tong, how could I lie to you? Come over and look . The place you stay and the food you eat, everything was received from the salary I give you . Of course I'm the master . ” The System said rightfully .
“Uh, we'll just go with that . In that case, Lord Tong, I want to go back to my place and rest . ” Fang Ning said, resigned .
“Hm, seeing that you are injured, you don't have to work today . You can start working tomorrow . ” Sir System said kindly .
“Where do I live?”
“Just go straight until you reach a green room . That's where you live . ” The System enthusiastically guided the way .
Fang Ning walked precariously along the limestone road in the System Space .
“Hey, why is there a cyber cafe here?” Fang Ning's eyes suddenly flashed .
“Hiss…” Sir System was horrified, “That can't be . You lost your memories and even forgot who you are . How can you remember how to surf the Internet?”
“Well, I just find that this place is very firm and familiar in my memory . It's a beautiful place . ” Fang Ning explained .
“I see . It seems my task of reforming you has a long way to go . Remember, this cyber cafe isn't a good place . It'll only cause people to degenerate . You must study hard and make progress every day, and strive for Lord Tong your entire life . ” Sir System said righteously .
“Hm, although I still feel that's weird, you did give me food to eat, so I guess that's as expected . ” Fang Ning nodded .
“Yep, you still understand reason . Go and rest first, I still have things to do . ” Sir System said excitedly .
Thus, Fang Ning plunged into the green lounge and slept .
“Hahahaha, from today onwards, I'm the master of this place . It's best that that guy never regains his memory…” Sir System said arrogantly .
Meanwhile, a person was fast asleep in the lounge .
At this time, the few people outside were also hazy-eyed and seemed to have forgotten where they were .
“Where is this? Who are you?” Qiao Zijiang asked in confusion .
“I have no idea, but I keep feeling that I've forgotten something . However, you and this foolish guy look so similar to me, so you should be descendants of my blood . Don't worry, I'll protect you . ” Qiao Anping said placatingly .
Qiao Zishan was shot for no reason . His face was dazed, but he said nothing and looked extremely bewildered .
Black Robe looked on coldly from the side before suddenly revealing a smile .
“No wonder master told me to enter . He already calculated that there would be this layer . I'm not truly a person, but an artifact that was transformed, so my memory won't be lost . ”
He secretly thought in his heart that among normal people, he was the only who preserved all of his own memories . He could now deceive everyone so that they work for him and then easily seize this valuable arcane realm .
All the sapient treasures that were seized by Vigilante A was part of his plan . They were no longer able to remind their masters .
In such a situation, he was like a fish back in the water . There were no more hidden dangers .
