Chapter 110: Sir System Learns to Cry Wine and Sell Vinegar
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Fang Ning called out to the System a few times and tried to make sense of what happened in the few hours he was taking a nap, but the System ignored the summons completely .
Fang Ning could not be bothered to pester the idiot System, with its recklessness, sooner or later its tail would show anyway .
Now that it was gone, at least something good came of it, he could play his game for a while without being interrupted .
Fang Ning returned to his game . Right after he finished off a boss, a game notification popped up that made his face change slightly .
[Player 'Rich Immediately' had founded the first guild of the game named 'Mount Indigo Monastery Online Branch 1' . 'Rich Immediately' was awarded 10,000 reputation points and has become the guild master of 'Mount Indigo Monastery Online Branch 1' . ]
Fang Ning stared with a jealous hatred at the rolling notification, "The required item for founding a guild, Wolf King's Tokens, there were only three of them so far, and all of them are in the players' market priced at least ten million apiece in cash . Not even I was willing to buy . This dude actually bought it without hesitation, what a prodigal move! He shouldn't be named 'Rich Immediately', he should be named 'Bankrupt Immediately'!"
"Wait, why does his guild sound so familiar? Isn't that the monastery of the Master Ma? When we were farming the insects, this old man had retreated because of his son . Not only that, he didn't even leave anything behind, unlike the other two powerhouses . Say, dude has skin so thick, he isn't embarrassed about putting his own brand up in the game?"
Knowing that Master Ma was behind this, Fang Ning could guess why the player could afford the required item -- he was acknowledged by Bodhisattva Spirit King and the old monk, so he must have quite a bit of money to spare . Sir System only took a few cases and it already amassed a dozen billion in his account .
However, Sir System's money was not his, he could only use the 15 . 5 million in his account as investment capital, so there was no way he could compare with other people in terms of spending power .
Fang Ning, who had met with his first obstacle with his goal of domination in the new game, silently promised himself to prove to his rival that this game is not winnable by just throwing money at it .
Another notification appeared .
" 'Mount Indigo Monastery Online Branch 1' is recruiting non-cultivators for a 500k entrance fee . Benefits include: Teaching Basic Cultivation of the Spirit to non-cultivators, mastery guaranteed, full refund if guarantee not met . "
Fang Ning was surprised, "Dang, they are really doing it . They've already started vocational training . "
After the initial shock, Fang Ning continued playing his game, ignoring the flood of prodigal players requesting to join the Mount Indigo Monastery branch in the game . It was sad just seeing them . . .
After a while, he received a QQ message from Zheng Dao saying the reward from the Truth Department had already been received .
After seeing the reward, Fang Ning was reminded of the guild the other dude had founded . He still had a long way to go, with that money, he would have left with no money to buy more things if he spent on the token .
His eyes lit up and he tried calling Sir System a few times . Still ignored .
He did not let down his guard, however . An idea ran through his mind, causing him to chuckle a little, and he ran up against the wall and slammed Vigilante A's head against it . . .
Vigilante A's head hit the wall with a resounding 'Bang!'
Fang Ning did not feel pain, but the wall did have an indent banged into it . Vigilante A's body was indeed strong, not even a wall could endure a hit like that .
Fang Ning was beyond happy and started texting Zheng Dao .
Fang Ning said, "Tell me about the reward . "
Zheng Dao said, "250 million, tax-free . Our associate ranking was raised until level two grade A, information access authority increased, some access to the internal exchange for us to make trades . "
Fang Ning ignored the benefits at the end and typed, "Please transfer ten million to this account . . . "
Zheng Dao saw the request and started worrying, 'Did the Venerable Dragon God get scammed on the modern technology?'
However, when he saw the account number and recipient name, he was sure it was not a con, because the account belongs to the Venerable White Dragon .
As the butler, he would have asked this information about the Venerable White Dragon on QQ and memorized it .
Zheng Dao thought, 'The two Venerable Ones are so close . Since the Venerable White Dragon is in seclusion, the Venerable Dragon God would transfer money over to him as his living expenses . '
Zheng Dao replied immediately, "Sure, Venerable One . I will transfer the money immediately . "
As soon as Zheng Dao told him that the transfer was complete, Fang Ning immediately logged into his online bank account to check . Indeed, an extra ten million was sitting in there .
"Alright then, two can play this game . I will also found a guild . He wants non-cultivators, that's too basic, I will only accept cultivators, I will call my guild the Soaring Dragon Matchless Alliance, I will definitely dominate this game!"
"I'm not here to play around . This is important to set up for my future . Even if I use this money, I will make back a hundredfold in the future! If Mount Indigo Monastery is opening an education-based establishment, I will set up my physical training-based one . "
With money in his hands, Fang Ning entered the players' market . Right before he confirmed the transaction to buy the token, a system notification appeared .
[Ten million was transferred from your account . ]
"Sonofa . . . " Fang Ning almost cried, "System, you still have me under surveillance! Why didn't you stop me when I was hitting the wall with my head? I should have known . With your stingy nature, would you let me play such a trick? I'm such a dumbass, I actually headbutted the wall . . . "
The System finally replied, "Huh? What are you talking about, host? I don't understand at all . I just noticed that Zheng Dao had accidentally transferred money to the wrong place, so I return it to him . "
"I did say I have you under surveillance and won't let you be hurt, but weren't you okay after hitting the wall? The surveillance program won't stop you from doing that, you'll be paying for the wall yourself anyway . "
Fang Ning retorted, "Hmph, just me being unlucky . Go back to your cultivation and leave me alone with my game . I'd use my own money to found my guild if I have to . "
The System said, "I don't care, you won't have any more to spend after you finish them anyway . . . "
Before Fang Ning had made the decision to buy the Wolf King's Token regardless, the System spoke again .
It said, "You were always so lazy, you went laissez-faire even with three followers, but how are you so gung-ho in your games? You're willing to spend ten million to buy an item to found a guild, is it really that fun? I don't feel the fun . "
Fang Ning said, "You're not human, so of course you can't feel the fun . This game is fun because of all the customization you can make . Different classes, different experiences, main quests, side quests, events, everything is fresh and stimulating, not like you, just farming monsters constantly . "
The System was filled with thoughts, "Oh, you like doing quests . It's easy then, I'll imitate the game and give you some quests to do so you can stop wasting money on the game . "
Fang Ning was caught by surprise, "When I was first taken over by you, I asked if you have a mission system, but you ignored me . Are you going to activate the mission module? I can play Earth Online now?"
The System quipped, "What's Earth Online? I don't understand you . I don't have a mission system, of course, and I don't have the principles to obtain any mission rewards . If I do, I would have farmed the quests myself, it won't even come to you . "
"I was just saying that since you're so passionate about the fictional games and their fictional quests, there's really no benefits to play them aside from wasting your time and money . "
"I can give you something akin to the quests in the game, they're fun and exciting . When you are on holiday and have nothing to do, you can complete the quests . Aren't I good to you?"
Fang Ning was hesitant, "How would you be so nice to me? Something must be wrong, are you trying to set me up?"
The System said, "I'm not trying to set you up . We live in the same body . If you died, I wouldn't have survived, so how would I endanger you? My game quests are not only fun, and the rewards are real money . . . "
As soon as he heard about the reward, Fang Ning chose to surrender and not think about the possible trickery . His income was controlled by Sir System, only by being useful in battles can he get rewarded in money .
If he has a consistent income, he can revive his pay-to-win glories, become indomitable, and gather a bunch of followers .
Fang Ning begged like a dog, "Sir, please gimme some fun, exciting quests with high rewards? Open my eyes to the world of quests . "
When he saw the system notification, Fang Ning was stunned, 'I shouldn't have underestimated its intelligence as well as its cheapskatery . . . '
System Notification .
[The System utilized its Beginner-level Calligraphy skill, Beginner-level Drawing skill, Master-level Carpentry skill, and consumed 100,000 experience points, high-grade papers, yarns etc . to build Beginner-level counterfeit-version game book -- Life Online . ]
[System consumed 5,000 experience points to build mission module . ]
[Mission module started releasing quests to the Host . ]
[Mission 1, Perfect Plan: Come up with the perfect plan to exterminate Elder Ancestor Bai in three days . Mission reward: 500,000 in cash . Host Attribute Interface module . ]
[Mission 2, Weaker Than None: Repeatable Main Quest, find the strongest creature in current realm every season for the System's comparison purposes . Repeatable mission reward: 1,000,000 in cash . ]
[P/S: Reward will be released to Host automatically after completing missions . ]
[All missions had been stored in relevant pages for reference . ]
Fang Ning held the book titled Life Online, loosely put together with a cover, and said to the System expressionlessly, "Sir, you're such a player, I didn't even remember you having the skills for the four arts . . . "
The System replied, "I have observed you for months . I have acquired the skills of the four arts in preparation for today . What do you think? You can play this instead, it is definitely more fun than all those digital games that you play, and you don't even have to worry about me stopping the electricity and internet . "
Fang Ning kept spacing out, "That's right, you've mastered the art of crying wine and selling vinegar without anyone to teach you . . . I am speechless . Aren't those missions the same as what I need to do usually? Even the reward is fixed, I can't even bargain!"
The System said, "Oh, look, the Host is spacing out because of joy . So keep playing this game, I will update regularly and what's more, there are no bugs in it! After the first mission, I will give you your Attribute Interface, it's so much better than the game you're playing now!"
