Chapter 162: A Huge Earning

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Once the Sky Eagle saw that the venomous snake was killed, it was elated. It meant that it had successfully gotten rid of a huge threat to its family in the Land of Heritage. Although eagles were predators of snakes, snakes were still fatal threats to the eagles’ eggs and eaglets.

Most importantly, as soon as the threat was gotten rid of, it could fly around the area with no worries.

It had heard from the Chinese that the world out there was a very huge planet, with an endless night sky.

Unlike where it was at the moment. It could not fly past a certain height, and there were no moon and stars hanging in the sky, night and day only came at set intervals.

After the Sky Eagle frolicked in its imagination for a while, it was going to fly down to greet Brother Dragon. However, it saw it diving down to the ground at once, and the hundred-meter long cobra disappeared after…

‘Brother Dragon’s diving form is much stronger than mine…’

The Sky Eagle thought admirably It wondered, ‘It looks like I might be able to challenge Brother Dragon in flying downwards in the future.’

In the System Space, Fang Ning was conversing with Sir System.

At that time, he could not be bothered to look at the System Notifications. He had only heard about the Legendary Equipment from the System itself, but had never gotten any insight of it.

Nonetheless, he had a great understanding of the power of Legendary Skills. Only a small part of the power of “Thousand-mile Assistance” was revealed, and he thought that it had not been completely unleashed yet…

The System mentioned that a piece of Legendary Equipment would be exposed once the snake was killed. Since Sir System had already kept the snake’s body, so the object must be inside.

Fang Ning asked, “Has the Legendary Equipment been revealed?”

The System answered, “Yes, this snake is quite generous, not only did it reveal the Legendary Equipment, it revealed a Legendary Farming Spot too. I thought that it would be hopeless once it died…”

Upon hearing that, Fang Ning immediately thought about the one hundred million reward once the farming spot was built.

Right then, he completely put the Legendary Equipment out of mind. After all, regardless of how great the equipment was, he could only feast his eyes on it.

He sputtered, “You mentioned that once the farming spot is built, you’ll transfer one hundred million to me when we leave, does that still hold?”

The System replied, “Of course I meant it, I’m a heroic System that keeps promises. When we leave I’ll transfer one hundred million happy credits to your QQ account, so you can spend them on poker games.”

Happy credits??…

Fang Ning only felt like three crows were making “gua gua” sounds as they flew on top of his head. 1

He said in disbelief, “Are you sure that you said that right?”

The System said, “That’s right, I’ll repeat my original words, ‘If you can do it I’ll give you a hundred million…’, I didn’t mention the unit. You should be contented that I didn’t convert it into some ridiculous currency that humans use, a hundred million happy credits can still be sold for few hundred dollars…”

Fang Ning was speechless, he cried to God, “Oh God, the System has learned the words game. I see you’ve increased your IQ quite a bit, it seems like you don’t need me as your military adviser, I should just retire…”

The System said, “Don’t, you’re still very useful, host. You had no small part in the success this time. I’ve gained a lot of experience points from killing that big snake, I’ll need to cultivate in isolation for a few days to cultivate and absorb them. Whether it’s Vigilante A, or your original identity Fang Ning, I’ll give you ten days break, as long as you don’t commit evil deeds, use whichever identity you want to display your badassery…”

Once Fang Ning heard that, he felt that that was more like it.

If there was something good about him, that he had a big heart. Even though he had been seized by the System, he could adapt to it very quickly and never mentioned a desire to live or die.

It was the same for the money with Sir System, it would be used to level up his own body strength anyway. Since it would not be wasted, the meat would rot in the pot anyway, right?

Despite the one hundred million dollars turning into one hundred million happy credits, Fang Ning got over it. He was no longer concerned about the easy money, and started to regain his interest in the Legendary Equipment.

Fang Ning said, “I’m not concerned about your money anymore, let me have a look at the Legendary Equipment…”

A clear dark green orb was seen floating in front of Fang Ning’s eyes.

It looked like emerald, yet it looked like pearl too. It was shining with faint, hair-like rays, and it was clear that it was not an ordinary object.

Fang Ning stared at the orb for a long moment, other than knowing that it must certainly be very valuable, he could not get anywhere with that.

He sounded out by making a blind guess, “Five Poison Orb?”

The System said, “Eh, host, you haven’t looked at the System Notifications, have you? That’s quite a sensible guess…”

Fang Ning was lost for words, “I’m not shameless like you. Oh right, save Qiao Anping, don’t let him die for real.”

The System replied, “You don’t have to remind me about that, I’m a System that fights for justice, I won’t just do nothing and watch him die…”

While looking at the System Notification, Fang Ning nagged, “You’re a money-minded System, you won’t leave any money unattended…”

System Notification: [The System used the game book to attack Shaz the king cobra.]

[The System used morality in addition to the “Accuracy” effect of the game book. Note: “Accuracy” can be comprehended from the Separation Skill “Death Snipe”.]

[The System’s Prestige in the Land of Heritage ascended to “Confidence”, the System Map: Land of Heritage is opened forever.]

[The System prevented a fatal threat towards China, the Celestial Dragon awarded the Host 30 Favorability points toward all attributes.]

[The System did a major contribution in the process of developing land outside of China, the prestige of China was greatly lifted. Currently 75 Map Region Prestige Points achieved “Confidence”, the corresponding System Map is opened forever.]

After looking, Fang Ning realized that despite the Legendary Equipment “Poison Prevention Orb” seemed to have a simple and ordinary feature, its effect was actually very good.

There was a good saying: Everything that can increase life-saving abilities are definitely precious.

It would be unnecessary to state how many fatal toxins there were in the modern era, at least one would not have to worry about being food-poisoned anymore…

When Fang Ning read until the end, he was even more satisfied. Sure enough, it was easy to gain fame by doing great things, he wondered, ’75 System Maps were unlocked at once, how much time can be saved for the System to farm maps in the future?’

He had seen the System Map countless times, and he remembered it well, ‘There were a total of 99 maps in the entire region of China, and they each had unequal sizes.’

There was a simple pattern: In crowded areas, more map regions were divided, with each area being smaller. In less crowded areas, the map regions divided were larger.

In addition to Qi City, Tao City and Ji City from before, there were seventy-eight maps already, more than three-quarters of all the maps.

To the civilians, since the olden days, developing land was something that would highly increase prestige. Based on history, one of the biggest factors to evaluate whether the king had bold visions was whether he could defend his territory while developing more land. No matter how magnificent his internal affairs were, should his army be annihilated or his lands lost, he would definitely lose support.

When Fang Ning was looking at the System Notification, some fellow suddenly interrupted, “Eh host, look, five Soul Strengthening Pills were sold for five hundred million. Qiao Zijiang is indeed a wealthy woman, she didn’t even bargain at all, she said she’ll give me five hundred million when we leave.”

Fang Ning scoffed, “Don’t tell me it’ll be five hundred million happy credits as well?”

The System said, “Would she dare? Won’t she be afraid that I’ll ruin the reputation of Truth Department? This isn’t right, she was so quick to agree, she won’t really be giving me happy credits, will she?”

Fang Ning was extremely speechless, “I just randomly said it, you really believe me? Do you think she’ll be shameless like you… Of course she’ll agree immediately, it’s true that you saved her uncle. However, her uncle was injured and was dying in the war zone, don’t you know that we humans have a term called ‘reimbursement’?”

The System said, “Previously when I was injured nobody reimbursed me, I had to look for them…”

Fang Ning, “…”

Within the walled city of the ravine, a quiet, green room, the arrangement inside was very simple, with only one bed, one table, and one chair.

Qiao Anping was laying on the bed. He was no longer like a statue, he had vitality instead and he was conversing with his niece.

Qiao Zijiang was by the bedside.

At last, Vigilante A had unleashed the True Dragon that had profound culture, it gave out five elixirs that were said to have been produced from the previous realm. It showed immediate results, after Qiao Anping took them, his soul started to recover again and he was able to speak normally.

It mentioned that it was difficult to refine them, it required five hundred million to gather the complete medicinal materials needed. She was not dissatisfied at all, she agreed immediately and promised to pay up after they left.

By saving a life of a Grade-A powerhouse with that price, it could be considered as a huge earning.

There were around ten Grade-A powerhouses in a country, some countries even had none. How much maintenance fee would it take for a mothership each year? With the current stage of deterrence and fighting will of a Grade-A powerhouse, it was completely equal to a mothership.

Regardless, Truth Department would definitely use it for a full reimbursement of the war expenditures. It was a battle to seize 16,000,000 square kilometers of land, the officials would certainly not grudge those expenses.

Qiao Anping said, “Sigh, I’m considered to have survived a near-death experience this time. Elder Xu was right when he reminded me, I’ve overdone my cultivation in murderous intent, such that I was so carried away by all the killing in the war zone, granting the snake a successful sneak attack as I wasn’t on guard…”

Qiao Zijiang said, “It’s not your mistake, uncle, it’s that snake demon that was too cunning…”

Qiao Anping rolled his body over, “Forget it, luckily the Venerable Dragon God was there, so we manage to solve this tricky issue perfectly by paying the smallest price. As long as Elder Xu has settled everything, we’ll move back to headquarters in a few days. Just leave a few members here on guard. After what has happened, our foundation in this Land of Heritage is entirely stabilized at last, from now onwards, this will be our territory, no one else can enter.”

Qiao Zijiang placed a pillow as a cushion for him, she comforted him as she said, “Uncle, don’t worry about the official affairs and take care of your body first, your soul has suffered serious injury. The Venerable One said that you’ll have to recuperate for at least three months to ensure that there’ll be no after-effects, you might be able to level up still.”

Upon hearing that, Qiao Anping smiled bitterly, “If you’d like me to rest for three months without worries, one of those brats of Zishan with Basin-level will have to advance to Lake-level.”
