Chapter 150: The Experience Pack and the Positional Warfare
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Shaz herded the porcupine demons to another herb base. It had stayed in the Land of Heritage for eight years, collecting information about the Chinese’s actions.
However, they did not pick a fight with it, so it would not risk injury to threaten them. Now that the Indians have arrived, it had the hope to advance, so it no longer had to care. As soon as it advanced to the next level, it would reign supreme in the Land of Heritage.
It could easily overpower its natural enemies instead of just scaring them off with its higher cultivation base.
Half an hour after Vigilante A flew toward one of the herb bases, it turned around and zoomed back into the headquarters.
Fang Ning was puzzled, “Why are you turning back? Was there a treasure back there…”
The System said, “Hey, Host, you’re getting to know me pretty well. However, it’s not a treasure, it’s a kill count…”
Soon, Fang Ning saw the struggling porcupine demon on the ground, poisoned by Shaz.
Fang Ning immediately pointed the game book at it.
[Mutated Blood Porcupine Demon Sex: Male, Likes: Destruction and killing. Age: N/A. Identity: Mutated Demon of the Porcupine Tribe.]
[Alignment: Evil.]
[Power Level: Pond-level Powerhouse. Description: A swimming pool-size, close to death, not dangerous.]
Fang Ning’s jaw dropped. It was really a good haul, the System Map was really powerful.
It was still within the twenty-four-hour limit, so the Land of Heritage map was still fully revealed. It was because of that that the System could spot this porcupine. Any later, the porcupine would have died…
Vigilante A approached it and struck the porcupine’s head with his palm.
The porcupine swayed a little, but it was still struggling as if nothing had hit it.
Fang Ning was even more stunned with that, ‘What the, it’s already dying, but still doesn’t die from one palm strike.’
After that, he saw Vigilante A produce a fire dragon and a wind dragon between his palm. They twisted together and zoomed at the porcupine demon.
The porcupine could not evade. Finally, its legs gave out and it was no longer moving.

Fang Ning applauded, “Woo! A free experience pack! As expected of Pond-level powerhouses. You leveled up Dragonization Ability last time when you killed N’gun, so this time you can upgrade the Atmospheric Morality Technique.”
The System said, “That’s what I planned to do.”
Fang Ning replied, “I recall the Dragonization Ability has reached its bottleneck the last time. After leveling up the Atmospheric Morality Technique, maybe think about leveling up your level?”
The System asked, “What are you trying to say? Level 15 was still fine, and there are plenty of skills I can upgrade, like the four arts, alchemy et cetera. Those skills are still not high enough, so we can do the level after maxing them out-”
Fang Ning said, “Are you trying to suppress your level grade again? If it were not for my awesome plan, where would you find this free experience?”
The System said, “Oh, right, I have to go collect the other herbs. Go take a nap, didn’t you say you have a headache?”

Fang Ning said, “Your skill in changing the subject is too weak, go level that up… I realized a way to farm monsters after reading the System Notification. But since you’re suppressing your level, I don’t need to tell you.”
System Notification: [The System consumed 500,000 Experience Points and leveled up to level 16.]
Fang Ning responded, “Such a petty move. Fine. I’ll be the generous one and will not fuss over things like this with you, puny System. A reminder for you, we can use that poisonous porcupine corpse as a bait to fish. Didn’t they say the mutated beasts were irrational? We should be able to get a few of them.”
The System said, “Brilliant idea, what else?”
Fang Ning replied, “Nothing else. I’m going to take a nap.”
***************
For the rest of the day, Shaz consecutively barged into three emptied bases. It knew something was wrong and that calmed it from its frenzied state.
It understood that it was strong, but its movement speed was its weakness. After all, snakes were not fast runners. Compared to its natural enemies like eagles and big cats, it was definitely losing out.
That was its natural drawback. If it could break through Grade A and become a Grade S, it would be able to cover that up, for example, choosing to be a snake of flight. That was also why it wanted so badly to advance. If it could offset its weakness in mobility, it would not need to worry about any opponents of the same level.
Its scales were hard and strong, it was venomous, and it was also smiled upon by the god. If it could also fly, it would have been able to overpower any of its opponent of the same grade.
‘So, let us meet face to face. I want to see for myself, how you humans as weak as ants could defend against the wrath of the incarnate of the God of Destruction!’
***************
Aside from the headquarters, the Truth Department had only founded six herb bases and four cultivation bases in the past dozen of years.
In addition, those were founded after building relationships with the nearby beast and demon tribes, the Truth Department had been gifting them with some herbs annually.
Of course, this was only to make sure those tribes do not destroy the bases, they would not have risked their tribe members to protect the bases for the Truth Department. When irrational mutated beasts appeared, the Truth Department could only send their forces to fight against the beasts.
After Vigilante A had cleared the six herb bases, he returned to the valley and started guarding the place with the other three.
Now that the ambush had turned into a positional warfare, they started to build defensive structures in the valley.
The four Pond-level powerhouses were in charge of surveillance and defend against the attack of the king cobra that could happen at any time.
Manpower was definitely enough in the valley, there were tens of thousands of members with black uniforms that could make up armies. Fang Ning tried to calculate the exact number of people, but the System immediately told him that there were 53,600 people, reminding him not to slack off.
All the black-uniforms had their own cultivation base of at least a Mug-level. They were nothing individually, but when aggregated together, their strength was formidable.
The System rated the army formations. They seemed to be really powerful and can attack with the intensity of a Pond-level powerhouse. As long as they locked onto their target, no one had been able to come out of that unscathed, not even the king cobra.
It was the first time Fang Ning saw a huge operation of the company. Every task was assigned and carried out, every part was detailed, every order was completed methodically. Everyone was a clockwork gear on a war machine, efficient, indomitable.
Within two days, a wooden walled city was erected with just the materials the could find around the area. At the same time, defense formations were set up to resist arson, windstorms, quakes, explosions. It was set up in a way that it could use the power from everyone to defend against explosive attacks from powerhouses.
The location of the walled city had placed the entrance from India in the center, where a disturbance formation was set up.
Now, both sides had already put aside all facades of being courteous. There would not be any checkpoints for the Indians, but a complete rejection.
If the Indians complained to the GASATO, it would be better. The Chinese could just file the report about the Indians conspiring with the king cobra demon to attack another member country. The Indians might even be expelled because of that.
It was a taboo to attack another member country, even the United States would only plot through third parties, stealing technology through cloak-and-dagger tactics, but not declaring war so openly.
The Special Affairs Investigation Bureau of America (SAIBA) had many wise people who knew that the Chinese were not their biggest threat in this new age, but the demons and beasts and non-human creatures. The appearance of a single deity could mean the end of an entire country.
The economic system of Chinese was closely related to the American one, so the Chinese would not have attacked the Americans anyway, but the deities would not have cared. Would they have cared about the economic benefits? American worshipers, blood, and faith, the deities might care about, but the top-notch microchips, precision instruments, Hollywood films… probably not.
A room was assigned to Vigilante A for meditation and cultivation after the wooden walled city was completed.
Not even Fang Ning knew what the king cobra was doing. After two whole days, it should have realized it was no use attacking other bases, but yet, it still did not show up and attack the walled city, that bugged him quite a bit.
The Thousand-mile Assistance effect that Long Fan activated had already ended, the System Map was left with only darkness.
The System mused, “What now? After obtaining the big pile of Experience Points, I have been cultivating the past two days. But now that I came out of seclusion, I can’t see anything, not even to go and fish.”
Fang Ning said, “Are you playing dumb? Go look for Long Fan and give it one of our cell phones… actually, no. Qiao Zijiang was too smart, she would immediately sense something was wrong. Call Long Fan here, let’s just bullshit it a little.”
Through the messenger talking to Qiao Zijiang, Long Fan the Stygian snake heard about the Venerable White Dragon’s intention to talk to it.
Before Qiao Zijiang could agree to it, Long Fan had set down its book and flew over.
On both times that it had met the Venerable One, its life was changed, so naturally, it would be more than happy to attend.
“Venerable One, thanks to your help last time, I finally could have a hand,” said Long Fan as he turned into a human hand.
At this point, Fang Ning had just appeared in his dragon form and was immediately caught off guard, “Oh my f- I thought I saw The Thing for a second there, turn back into your original form.” 1
After being reprimanded, Long Fan knew it was inappropriate to turn into a moving human hand, so it turned back, “Venerable One, did you ask for me?”
Fang Ning said, “Oh, nothing. It’s just that my new phone may have some issues. Could you help me press this button?”
