Chapter 631: Asking For More

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Qiao Zishan and his team finally completed their preparation to fight before they realized that the usually lazy miniature green dragon already ended the battle.

This was when they realized that a huge gap existed between the two.

Even though it was just a manifestation of an Upper Realm True Dragon’s spiritual sense, but it had great talents that they would not be able to catch up on even after thousands of years.

The Era of Vitality was as such. No matter how hard you worked for years, you still might not come up to the level of a feather from the powerhouses.

Situations like these often destroyed confidence, especially in those who were not persistent enough.

In the Era of Technology, in an underdeveloped place, as long as one had the willingness to learn, to endure hardship, to contribute–basically only a generation was needed, along with a duration of thirty years–there would the possibility of great changes and progress. If one continued to work hard, it was not entirely impossible to catch up.

After all, with education as its murder weapon, human infants were not all that different from each other. They could develop the next generation to pursue the world trend.

The Era of Vitality was different. Inheritance by blood, the source of Vitality, a culture of abilities... The various gaps could no longer be bridged in a mere generation or two.

Many ingrained factors could potentially cause a decline one by one, forever slaves.

Seeing that, Qiao Zijiang did not sigh or complain. Instead, he quietly ordered his team to retract their Spiritual Ascension and get ready to greet the Venerable Dragon God in front of them...

They thought that after so long, the Venerable One would spare more time to converse with them at least.

However, he only glanced at them, nodded, and handled his sword before leaving...

It was worth noting that many among these people were familiar with Vigilante A. Reasonably, after not seeing each other for so long, they should exchange a few words at least.

However, the System was headstrong this way. It could not care less about their feelings. As long as it had something to work on, all forms of courtesy and politeness were insulated from it.

Qiao Zijiang was a loyal man; he did not put it to heart.

The same could not be said to his men, though.

Xu Rui, who was recently integrated into the Special Investigations Unit, was once the most talented person among the young generation in the Truth Department. As time flew unnoticed, he had already cultivated to the peak of Pond-level. His increased drive and spirit were fitting to his name.

However, among his small team, his level of cultivation was at the bottom of the pool. Everyone else was a Lake-level powerhouse there. This was one of the hidden terrors of the Truth Department.

It was very difficult for commoners to imagine the power of a country to gather resources and manpower, what more the forces that could break out as a result of that.

He also had the opportunity to borrow the Truth Department’s resources and secret techniques that enabled his instant breakthrough to the Lake-level.

However, Principal Xu warned him that using secret techniques to breakthrough to Lake-level would have its flaws. Despite being able to fix it up afterward, it would never be perfect. The potential regret kept him at bay.

Qiao Zishan definitely knew about this fact. However, for everyone’s sake and for the sake of coming at par with the devil leaders’ cultivation, they were willing to pay the price.

Of course, a lot of people wanted to pay the price this way, but the opportunity had yet to present itself... An example would be a fellow who was undermined again.

Witnessing the scene that just happened, Xu Rui had an unhappy expression on his face.

He tried to hold it in but eventually could not help but say, “Sigh, it’s true that it’s easier to be looked down at if you’re weak. Our leader is already at the Lake-level, yet he still gets treated like this. Will the Venerable One only prioritize those who leveled up through the right path?”

Qiao Zishan shook his head in silence, choosing not to answer this question.

His Morality Cultivation Base did not depend solely on secret techniques to reach Lake-level. Even though he borrowed a lot of the Truth Department’s resources, he cultivated his Morality Cultivation Base on his own for his breakthrough at Lake-level.

However, Qiao Zijiang said indifferently, “Others might, but I know the Venerable One definitely won’t. He had always hated bullies in power, so I think he must have something important to attend to...”

Hearing that, Xu Rui forced a smile and nodded.

He did not argue. After all, based on his background, if he was caught gossiping about others at the back, what sort of poise could he still have?

...

Vigilante A could care less about what happened at his back. He only cared about rushing home at high speed.

When he arrived, the Sun was setting in the West. It was not him who flew slow, it was because he departed when the Sun was already setting...

At this moment, the workers from the farm laid back on their chairs resting, scrolling their phones, and chitchatting.

Some of them were talking about a strange shooting incident that happened recently. The news spread widely on the Internet for the past few days.

After all, the incident was an uncommon one–shooting in America; damage in China.

If they did not know early on that both countries altered their defense and attack strategies, many would have thought that Americans were trying to provoke China again.

However, it was now obvious to everyone that the incident was another mysterious special case that struck fear.

On the contrary to outsiders, the workers who were chitchatting did not show any signs of fear. They treated it like a faraway disaster. Amidst their sighs, there was also the thankfulness for their luck.

Ever since they started work here, none of the mysterious incidents happened to them.

In this unpredictable Era of Vitality, inconspicuousness was no doubt one of the best workfares. Many people could have died a sudden death on the road, and only to find out that it was the work of ghosts after an investigation.

These chitchatting workers did not know that the culprit was already executed by their boss.

Yet this did not stop them from finding out.

“I think, the culprit won’t be able to be active soon. Before this, a lot of incidents like this happened. Which one of them was not solved by the Dragon God Hero? It won’t be an exemption this time,” said someone confidently.

“Yes, I dare to bet that in not more than three days, the Venerable One won’t tolerate letting this cruel bastard being alive.”

“That’s right. It isn’t even one of those demons who seek vengeance. A cold-blooded murderer like this is the worst, they’re unpredictable. We have to worry about being shot even as we walk on the road. How can we live out our days in peace?” said a few female workers in sympathy.

“Sigh, how else? We live counting our days,” explained someone.

“It’s good that we still have the Venerable One to depend on. Otherwise, our lives will be a hundred times harder,” said a person gratefully.

Vigilante A naturally would not be concerned about the topics discussed by these passersby. He entered the living room, sat on the sofa, and started to summon Golden River.

He retrieved Fang Ning’s cellphone and began to text.

“I’m confused. You can summon him on your own, why are you using my cellphone?” said Fang Ning dismally.

A man’s cellphone was like his wife. They were the type of existence that should not be touched by just about anyone...

“Nonsense, using this thing of yours saves magical energy.” defended the System.

Fang Ning went down another level of dismal as he contemplated the System’s actions, to no avail.

“Sir, since you rush back to claim your reward from the River God of the Sky River, can’t you simply find a place outside to send him the text? Why do you need to come all the way to the old house when it’s not like you can’t get reception outside?” asked Fang Ning confusedly.

“Nonsense, I can ask for more money if I ask at home,” said the System confidently.

“I don’t understand. What kind of logic is this?” Fang Ning was rendered speechless.

“Aren’t you rather smart? This is my house. If he comes without bringing gifts, won’t he feel ashamed to come to me for help next time?” replied the System nonchalantly.

“Eh... Have you no shame?” Fang Ning squeezed out a sentence before being awash in admiration. “In this aspect, you’re truly experienced. You don’t lose out to those who have lived for ten thousands of years because they still have to maintain their reputation when they receive gifts.”

“Thanks for flattering me.” The System expressed his pride in this matter.

Soon, the Golden River reappeared in the living room.

Before Vigilante A managed to open his mouth, piles of shining golden sand appeared above the Golden River with every speck of sand as clear as crystals, blinding everyone’s eyes.

“Thank you, Venerable One, for removing this threat. Humbly, I ask that you accept this small gift.” The Golden River buzzed.

Seeing that, Fang Ning thought hard and said, “No wonder Brother River God rarely shows up in public. He must’ve thought that it’s embarrassing too...”

“He takes a lot of advantage, do you think he’s afraid of being ashamed? You humans are the true hypocrites.” The System did not care about this. It only kept all of the golden sand with a wave of his sleeves.

“You’ve collected so many treasures that I’ve never even seen you use. Do you expect them to multiply if you keep them long enough?” asked Fang Ning curiously.

“Who cares? I like it.” The System was too lazy to explain.
