Chapter 359: An Understanding Friend Is Hard To Find

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After being advised to leave by the clan leader of the Whitestone people, Fang Ning was extremely dissatisfied. He only managed to find one intimate friend after a whole afternoon of singing. The others looked like they were greatly tortured, was his singing really so terrible?

It was impossible, it was definitely because the one that admired the superior melody was outnumbered by the other people that were blind…

When Fang Ning returned to the System Cyber Cafe, he was discontented, thus he turned on the microphone to sing out loudly and freely…

It was a pity that he did not receive any claps even after singing for a long time.

With the wild ginseng, at least it swayed its leaves along with the tempo to accompany him.

“Sigh, if my precious game book was here, at least I’ll have a listener. Sir, you’re a tone deaf with no music admiration standards, you’re not even clapping to encourage me.”

Fang Ning casually complained, which was followed by thundering claps and beating of drums in the cyber cafe…it was as if a renowned singer was going on stage.

“You’re being too fake… Can we be more sincere to each other?”

Looking at the affected scene, he Fang Ning rolled his eyes.

His mood had been really good after settling Zhi Nan, especially now that he had do avoid Sir, it made him more expended.

There was nothing to be done, he had a character of an earthling; he would be very proud if he succeeded something…

“You’re forcing me too much, you didn’t even get a single note right, yet you still want real claps… If weren’t because of my strong resistance that stopped your demonic voice entering my brain, I would’ve stopped you from speaking for 24 hours.” Sir System said, displeased.

“What?” Fang Ning turned into a monkey who had its tail stepped on, he turned crazy at once. “Nonsense, not only am I hitting all the right keys, I’m even deeply immersed into it. This contains thirty years of my life. You’re not sincerely praising me for this sincere song, you must be jealous, you don’t have the skill to sing, you’re jealous of my singing.”

“Alright, I’ll let you take a look at the scene after you’re done singing…”

After Sir said that, he played the scene where the wild ginseng washed its leaves with clear water, which naturally included Claus and Zhao Xin’s conversation.

Fang Ning instantly suffered a head-on blow, his face was flushed red and he could no longer refute, but how could he admit that he was tone deaf?

He carefully looked at the replay then said pretentiously, “No, how is the wild ginseng actually disgusted with my singing? You’ve guessed it wrongly, this is clearly hinting me that a rascal is hiding beside us.”

“You’re trying to fool me… I won’t listen.”

“Hmph, that’s all your Heaven’s Eye can do, he’s already under your nose but you didn’t even notice…”

Sir System said frustratedly, “Mr. Rich Boss, what are you saying? Isn’t my Heaven’s Eye your Khorium Ore dog’s eye? Your Khorium Ore dog’s eye is ineffective, but you’re trying to blame me for it?”

“Very well, you said it very well,” Fang Ning was oppressed again, he quickly shifted the topic. “When the wild ginseng asked somebody to get it water, it was actually telling me that Claus who went to get water has something wrong.”

“What’s wrong, isn’t he your intimate friend too? It was just him and the wild ginseng who weren’t wrecked by your demonic voice.”

“You only know a little, I’m keenly aware of what’s happening. This fellow is acting rather strangely, the wild ginseng was sucking up, it’ll be extremely normal for it to respond well to my singing. Obviously the other Whitestone people were getting headaches from it, but he’s not affected at all, there must be something going on.”

Fang Ning had a bearing like Zhuge Liang, thus Sir System dared not slow down.

After all, he had just turned over the existence of Demon Lord Zhi Nan…

Therefore, Sir immediately said, “This is easy, I’ll let Achilles the space spirit, who is the real manager, control him.”

Fang Ning widened his eyes, “That’s so crude, didn’t you notice that he’s hardworking and very welcomed by the others?”

“Eh,” Sir System came to a sudden realization and said, “Mr. Rich Boss, you’re wise.”

“Hehe, it’s right to let Achilles keep an eye on him, but don’t make a move, as long as this fellow doesn’t cause any trouble, just let him work conscientiously.

“These years, it hasn’t been easy finding fellows who can work through hardships, especially tasks related to herbs. Ordinary people won’t be able to do it, cultivators might have other thoughts too.

“If he’s a good person, everything is well then. If he’s an evil person, as soon as he does something evil, just capture him into the Draconic Penitentiary. As long as we stay calm during crises, we won’t suffer any loss.”

After the confrontation with Zhi Nan, Fang Ning had unknowingly elevated his temperament.

If it were before, based on his cautious character, he would have certainly get rid of hidden dangers immediately.

As for now, he subconsciously chose to utilize the other party’s greatest effect, as he had already gained confidence in his own powers.

At the same time, Claude, who had no idea that he had been set as the center of observation, was also deeply thinking about a serious question.

It had been a few months since he came to Vigilante A’s Draconic Arcane Realm, other than working for him every day, he seemed to be getting further away from his true goal – obtain the Yin Energy Realm.

Currently, he seemed to have gotten used to fetching water and fertilizing. In order to disguise his identity, he even secretly learned exclusive farming knacks of the Whitestone people…

‘Pei, what’s the use of me learning their exclusive knacks?’ he thought.

“Clause, it’s time to eat. This time a new pill will be given out, I heard that it’s the Dragon Clan Salted Pill.

“In the upper realm, we won’t even get to use the bathing water of the True Dragon, now we can actually have a taste of their personally refined pill, our days here have been too blessed…”

Shi Da walked over and said to him, who was publicly known as the most honest Whitestone person. This fellow was the only one who would not refute whatever he said, and had always seemed obedient.

Eh? This was quite a good benefit, Claus suddenly realized, he felt like he had gotten some ideas.

That was right, if he continued to muddle along with the people here, at least he could enjoy great benefits. For the past few months, his strength had increased quite a lot, which would not be the same case if he was outside.

While he elevated his strength and gained their trust, he would also naturally muddle into Vigilante A’s core level. By then, he could get close to a Yin Energy Realm…

For such an enormous arcane realm, it would be worth it if it meant spending tens or hundreds of years.

Not everyone was like Vigilante A, who was born a True Dragon and had deep blessings, such that arcane realms were competing to throw themselves to him. Could it be can the earth’s Heavenly Axiom was his father?

This plan would work!

All of a sudden, he was filled with confidence.

Clause the heliotrope was currently satisfied and contented.

Afterwards, he carried some mixed fertilizer that smelt great, and as if he had forgotten that it was meal time, he worked extra hard instead.

Shi Da who was babbling beside him became embarrassed after looking at him, while he was already thinking about eating, he was completely wrapped up in his work.

Seeing that he had forgotten about eating too, he did not mention things like his work being imperfect.

After seeing this through the System View, Fang Ning immediately became firmly confident in his thoughts.

He said to Sir System, “Now you know that there’s something wrong with this fellow, right?”

“I can tell he’s a rather capable and honest fellow, he’s much more hardworking than other Whitestone people. Of course the others are hardworking too, but he’s much more hardworking.”

“You’ll understand after I tell you a joke.”

“In the past, there were two organizations, A and B. The undercover operatives sent by Organization A were always easily spotted and captured by Organization B. Later on, somebody asked Organization A, what’s their trick. They said something, do you want to know?”

“I don’t want to know, you’re definitely planning to make me stop the seizing status, but that’s impossible. We finally managed to shoo Zhi Nan away, I must take the opportunity to keep more people.” Sir System shook its head and said.

“As I was saying…” Fang Ning was just frank like this, he continued, “Organization B said, their men are too capable, they can actually work overtime every day in order to be promoted…they’re definitely not one of us.”

“Oh, in this case, Claus is just like that. His degree of effort is almost equivalent to two Whitestone people.” Sir System suddenly realized.

Hence, Mister Claude, who was clueless continued daydreaming as he carried things back and forth.

On a certain level, he was no different from those sinners and souls at the second and third level who were carrying bricks around.

It was just that he was much more initiative, such that from time to time the latter would want to do scamp work or to slack off.

This was the true reason that Fang Ning decided to let this fellow stay. He probably had no idea that he had already been exposed and was only a poor prisoner in the eyes of Fang Ning…

…

Time was going round in circles, three days had passed.

Fang Ning was practicing his vocals when he received a message from Zheng Dao.

“The list of candidates for China’s “climbing the Ladder to Heaven”?”

He was happy after seeing that, he finally did not have to be bored.

He did not think that he could be a judge and was qualified to do things…

“Mr. Rich Boss, what kind of twisted idea are you having?” Sir System felt Fang Ning’s emotions, he poured him cold water head-on.

Upon hearing that, Fang Ning’s twisted idea was completely gone at once.

His body was being seized by Sir after all, how could he think about doing anything bad?

It was impossible, at least it was impossible in this lifetime. It would be better if he just stayed in the System Space, since he could go online and could eat drug pills.

Beside it was a prison too, with all sorts of fellows to interact with. They said nice things – those with nothing nice to say were locked up in isolation cells…

Fang Ning set his mind right then checked the long list.

Clearly, Ren Ruofeng wanted Vigilante A, who had Heaven’s Eye, to take a look at it to give opinions.

This was an event of climbing the Ladder to Heaven, not a bloody war.

It was unlike what was stated in novels, where competitions were held to compare people’s fighting will.

Even with a strong fighting will, secret skills, and the ability to kill in seconds, one might not be able to move a step up.

Although Vigilante A did not give a specific message, with just one glimpse everyone could roughly guess that one required profound magic, a robust body, and a tough spirit to climb high.

In short, for the three rounds of “energy, vitality, spirit”, none of those could be weak. Weakness in any one of those areas would directly strike one down where one could no longer climb the ladder.

Just like climbing a mountain, climbing a mountain as high as the Everest, it required an overall healthy body.

One could not have a huge defect, for example illnesses such as heart disease, which would clearly be dangerous.

So what now?

Naturally, a powerful figure needed to show up, a professional needed to select.

Similar to selections of various famous awards, it would not be a real-life PK, the spot would be given to the seemingly stronger one…

As Fang Ning looked at the long list, he was instantly contented.

On the list, which one of them were not talents selected from over a billion people?

Right now, their fates were up to the span of his thought.

This felt like a real man could not be powerless for even a day!
