Chapter 104: Man Proposes, God Disposes… Give Me Ten Million And I’ll Tell You What It Means

With his sharp senses, the Bai Family’s Elder Ancestor immediately found the source of the pair of hungry eyes. His heart froze.

Yes, he had had conflict with Vigilante A since long ago, which was why he had prepared to escape almost immediately. It was clear which side would the Bodhisattva Spirit King be on if a fight was to ensue. If he had the confidence to take on both of them on, he would’ve never handed his Insect Demon Double over so quickly.

In the System Space.

Before Fang Ning could finish reading the System Notification about the Insect Demon’s utter annihilation, Sir System was already clucking like a hen.

“This is a once in a lifetime opportunity! Host, get out there quick, trick the Bodhisattva Spirit King to seal that old thing! I’m going to farm him immediately!”

Fang Ning could understand the desperation in the System’s tone. This Ultra Big Boss had been on the System’s mind since forever. He himself was forced to sweep the sky and the earth for a sign of this old dude, but all of that effort was in vain. Today, they finally met the person in question, and they now had a Big Boss of similar caliber on their side that they no longer need to worry about any mishaps. It would be surprising if the System did not sound desperate…

Still, Fang Ning had to hurt Sir System’s childlike heart by revealing the cruel reality to the poor soul. After all, Sir System was technically only born for a few months, and ‘childlike’ was an extremely accurate term to describe it. However, Fang Ning had no intention to spoil it…

Fang Ning spoke, “I’m sorry, but the Bodhisattva Spirit King will never help us to farm him.”

The System was immediately dumbfounded. “Why not? He just said that he’ll fight this old man from the Bai Family together with us! To quote him, ‘I will not care even if we’re outnumbering him.'”

Fang Ning explained, “Your memory is impeccable, but you are almost hopeless in the common-interest game. The intention behind his words were not to kill it, and it was built on the premise that Elder Ancestor refused to hand in the last double of his Insect Demon. Now, Old Bai has gave up his Insect Demon Double without a struggle, and even tried to glorify himself by saying he’s one of the Demon Slayers, and that was just a Demon Slayer Dinner.

The System spluttered, “It’s just a baddie with sores for a head and pus for feet! It had the audacity to say that? Judging from the Bodhisattva Spirit King’s white hue in the System Map, he must be a complete warrior for justice, how is it possible that he would not help us when it stood right before us? You’re just trying to slack off again! You’re trying to avoid channeling Aggro to me when I farm the Boss, aren’t you? You’re trying to return to your game as soon as possible!”

This time, Fang Ning was slandered out of the blue. With 3 liters of frustrated blood in his mouth, he said, “Alright, you won’t believe whatever I say anyways. You even dare to drag me in the mud like this! I don’t even bother explaining to you anymore. Okay, go ahead and ask him telepathically if he’s willing to help you.”

Sir System really didn’t trust Fang Ning at this point, so it actually went to talk to Bodhisattva Spirit King with telepathy. Fang Ning shed a few tears in disappointed despair. ‘Yeah, no.’

Vigilante A said, “Bodhisattva, we must completely cleanse the world of evil. Come, cooperate with me, and we shall kill Old Bai together!”

Bodhisattva Spirit King was very shocked after he heard Vigilante A’s message. The hero seemed to hate Old Bai to his core!

Bodhisattva came to a realisation after he thought in detail. Well, Old Bai did close an eye when his subordinates ate humans in the past to increase their magical energy when he intended to quickly spread the Giant Rats’ roots in the area. Brother Dragon’s abhorrence of sin will of course never deal with Old Bai courteously. It’s normal for him to express his stance this way.

How sincere was he, that he would have an unwavering set of principles that remained unflinching, even in the face of immense pressure? His judgment on the hero was accurate after all.

After some thought, he decided to send a gentle and patient message to Vigilante A using telepathy. “Brother Dragon, I understand your heart in ridding the world of all evil, and is immensely impressed by your righteousness. Indeed, it would not be difficult if we were to annihilate Old Bai together, but we must remember he is the leader of the Giant Rats. With him intact, we could control most of the Giant Rats, and forbid them from hurting the people. There’re at least a few million Giant Rats around now, and there’s a possibility that they’ve already broken the billion population count. If Old Bai were to die in our hands today, the Giant Rats will lose the only tether stopping them from harming humans. They might all come up to the ground and cause immense trouble, and that’s when countless people will be harmed. We must come up with a solid and complete plan before we kill this demon.”

Sir System blinked dumbly at that. He really disagreed with the plan! The Host was really much smarter in this aspect huh…

Vigilante A said, “If that’s the case, I’ll adopt your words, Bodhisattva , and let him live for now.”

Bodhisattva felt relieved and delighted at the turn of events. It’s amazing that Brother Dragon was still willing to listen and look at the bigger picture! When he recalled what the hero repeatedly said before this, Bodhisattva started to contemplate again.

Actually, this happened because the System now has amassed enough experience to know that it would have no way to deal without the help of the Bodhisattva if Bai Family’s Elder Ancestor went into hiding once again. Even Bai Shixing could escape with his injuries last time! The Elder Ancestor was much stronger than Bai Shixing.

After the private telepathic communication has ended, the Elder Ancestor found that Vigilante A no longer stared at him with those chilling eyes. He immediately felt relieved, but he still had his guard up.

Bodhisattva Spirit King spoke up to the Elder Ancestor, his tone unaffected, “It’s a pleasant surprise how you’re willing to take a step back and look at this clearly despite your cautious self, Elder Ancestor. If that’s the case, Brother Dragon and I will excuse ourselves. Before we leave, I would like to advise you to think twice before you act. You shall stop these killings, and be careful, as karma will always come to you.”

“I will always remember your good advice, Bodhisattva. Although there’re a large number of Giant Rats around, there has yet been a case of a large-scale assault under my daily management and discipline.” Bai Family’s Elder Ancestor said as he gave the men a hold-fist salute.

It was already clear to the Elder Ancestor that Bodhisattva Spirit King’s reluctance in killing him all stems from the fear of his ferocious Giant Rat underlings would lose control without his lead and go manic for a killing spree.

The advantages of starting his own clan had finally paid off now. If he were alone in his journey of evil, the Bodhisattva Spirit King and Vigilante A would not even bother talking to him today when they had finally caught up with him. It was evident by how they treated the Insect Demon. This place would be his graveyard!

As long as he did not endanger the bigger picture, they would temporarily tolerate his existence. At this thought, he quietly made up his mind.

Bodhisattva Spirit King shrugged after he heard the Elder Ancestor’s words. With Vigilante A in tow, he once again disappeared into thin air.

The Elder Ancestor barely blinked at the disappearing act, as he himself was able to do that easily. The System, however, nearly drooled at the maneuver, hoping to equip itself with the skill.

When they once again landed on the ground, they noticed the warm sun and the greenery surrounding them. As they were in the South, the area was filled with comforting greens and a few pedestrians strolling in the vicinity. A serene silence filled the air.

The Bodhisattva smiled at the sight. Instead of leaving immediately, he decided to have some small talk with the other hero.

He started, “It’s all thanks to your help, Brother Dragon, that we’re able to completely exterminate the Insect Demon that has been plaguing humankind for centuries. The significance of your efforts and contributions cannot be described with simple words, Brother Dragon.”

Vigilante A answered, “It’s what I must do. If you have any other issues with slaying demons in the future, you’re always welcome to seek for my assistance, Bodhisattva.”

Bodhisattva Spirit Kind nodded. “I’m supposed to give you some monetary compensation for that, but those are all external possessions that I’m sure Brother Dragon would not even glance at anymore…”

Fang Ning immediately answered internally. ‘Nope, that’s absolutely wrong, our Sir System here never said no to any gifts handed to him. Quick, give me all those external possessions that you don’t want to even look at. The more the merrier…’

“If I’m not mistaken,” continued Bodhisattva Spirit King, “every time you slay a demon, Brother Dragon would always speak of wielding the will of God and execute with heavenly justice. Are you looking to attain that position in the future, Brother Dragon?”

Vigilante A did not answer.

In the System Space, the System was confused.

“What is he talking about? I have no idea what he’s saying. Why doesn’t he just hurry up and give me some treasures and scriptures? What is he trying to do, bringing me around the garden like that? Host, go and ask him to clarify himself.”

Fang Ning answered, “You didn’t want to believe me just now, but you’re expecting me to go and handle your problems whenever you want me to? Let me first ask you this: Does the words that you would say whenever you farm a boss monster have any meaning behind it? I never dared to ask you about it in fear that I would unknowingly activate some extreme main quests.”

The System answered, “Nope, they’re all what I got from those webnovels you read. I felt that these lines might help us boost our reputation faster, or they could somehow activate some hidden Maxim. It does not seem to work now, though; we might need something else…”

Fang Ning cursed, “F*ck, you’ve really messed it up for me here.” Fang Ning went to take over his body, and started to bullsh*t.

Vigilante A spoke. “Man proposes, God disposes.”

Bodhisattva Spirit King nodded in agreement. “Brother Dragon is indeed one with an open mind and a generous heart. I will definitely vouch for you in the future, Brother Dragon. With your honor and justice, you’re the most suitable candidate for that position.”

Vigilante A replied, “Thank you for your kind wishes, Bodhisattva.”

Bodhisattva Spirit King nodded again. “I shall take my leave now. Please take care, Brother Dragon, and you can send anyone to notify me whenever you need my help.”

Vigilante A said, “Forgive me for not escorting your leave, Bodhisattva.”

Fang Ning grumbled to himself. ‘Yeah, right, it’s not like I could escort you anyways, what with your disappearing act.’

As if proving a point, Bodhisattva Spirit Kind disappeared in a flash after a warm smile.

The System immediately piped up, “What’s all that talk about position and voting? What’s ‘Man proposes, God disposes’?”

Fang Ning scoffed, “Nothing much. I know, but I won’t explain it to you anyways. You’re the one who didn’t trust me before this. Now shush, don’t interrupt me while I read the System Notification.”

“…” The System was speechless.

System Notification: [The System used Esoteric Skill: Flame Dragon’s Body Incineration]

[The System killed the last Insect Demon Double.]

[The System destroyed the soul of the Insect Demon.]

[The System entirely destroyed the Insect Demon.]

[The System obtained 3 million EXP.]

[The System has completely rid the world of a threatening existence. The Host obtained 5 Favorability Points from the Celestial Dragon Form.]

[The System obtained an extensive amount of Heroic Fame.]

[The System obtained an extensive amount of Morality Points. The Morality Bar is full. The excess Morality overflowing has triggered an additional hint: It is possible to allow qualified followers to cultivate the Atmospheric Morality Technique to store the excess Morality. The maximum number of Morality Bar for each follower is half of the System’s.]

Fang Ning said to the System, “Hey, good news. A hidden setting was triggered just now, and was actually proactively telling us how to store excess Morality. Quick, fill up the incomplete spots of the Atmospheric Morality Technique.”

The System mumbled, “Your skills in changing topics are too bad…”

Fang Ning continued, “What did you just say? I forgot. Well, this time our followers gave quite a substantial effort. Aside from Brett the Black Dog, the other two worked hard for this, so I’ll personally handle their reward allocations. According to the mission rewards you said last time, it’s my relief time in the coming week anyways, so don’t think about disconnecting me from the internet, I’m not afraid of you now.”

Sir System remained dumbfounded. This Host was difficult to handle when he decided to hold a grudge huh…

Fang Ning piped in, “That’s inaccurate. I’m very easy to handle. Just give me another 10 million.”
