Chapter 329: Cang Gongzi

After all, they were experts approved by the Truth Department. Soon enough they identified a few basic problems and came up with a preliminary solution, so Fang Ning started to have an idea of the situation.

Building a city was a problematic, trivial yet huge event. The only means completion was the passage of time.

From the reasoning of experts, to the drafting of a plan, until everything was settled down, it required endless nights of hard work from the whole team before completion.

Hence, Fang Ning started picking people from his pocket out of habit.

Anderson?

That would not do, they could not come out as they had to manage the “Draconic Penitentiary”.

Currently, there were up to ten thousand sinful spirits. A part of them were goldsmithing through a spiritually-controlled mech challenge, whereas a part of them were moving bricks and working in the Draconic Arcane Realm.

There were also an extremely small number of them who became full-time Aggro Bar supplies, who were usually free but busy during wars…

All the spirits had committed terribly evil sins when they were alive, and they were not conscientious even after they had died, such that they would always look for trouble even when there were none. Thus, they were best described to be “dealing with numerous affairs every day”.

It was fortunate that Anderson had once been the vice president, so their leadership skill was very strong.

They had done rudimentary steps in developing a simple command system, there were “foremen” and “goldsmiths” as well. The former was “Ma Dechun” for an example, whereas the latter was “Lei Tian the War Demon” and so on.

Zheng Dao?

That would not do as well, he had a huge amount of responsibilities.

The arrangement of intelligence information, daily operation of Triple-A grade associate “Harmony Powers Ltd.”, the functioning of True Dragon’s mystery online shop, comforting followers, connecting relationships with friendly forces, various miscellaneous works, there were too many to count…

Luckily, he was a cultivator; he was vigorous and had extremely high effectiveness in everything he did. Should an ordinary person take up the role of this butler, that person would definitely not be able to handle all the matters that he did. He would at least need to hire another five to ten people to meet the requirement, but safety would be the biggest issue then.

As he could not transfer both his domestic and foreign generals too, Fang Ning thought carefully to see if anyone else could take up this huge responsibility.

Both the yellow dog and black dog had their own duties.

The great green insect and the Sky Eagle were just friendly forces, so he could not trouble them with this chore…

Perhaps the great green insect would be happy to, since it had no business lately.

It had to wait till next year at the very least, when everything had settled down, before anyone would visit its clinic again.

The only thing was, unless his brain was removed from his head, he would not ask it to be the person in charge…

Eh, there was another one?

Cang Gonzi.

At any rate, it was the Gongzi of a big clan, and a spirit of the modern era.

In this case, it was actually equipped with knowledge in both the cultivation world and modern technology. As long as it was given training, it would be very suitable for building a new city with characteristics of the new era.

However, it seemed to have gone to the underground Greater Rat Kingdom, so it might not have free time.

If this was it, who else could there be?

Sir System interrupted, “There’s you, right?”

Fang Ning was speechless. “I just told you to stop reading my thoughts, don’t force me to use strategic deterrent weapons.”

The System replied, “Oh, continue to throw the work to somebody else then, I’ll just watch without saying anything.”

Fang Ning was too lazy to do it himself, a game was a game, but building a city in reality was certainly nothing relaxing or happy.

It was not like he did not think about seeking talents from outside, but where was this?

Sir System, no, it was the pyramid force of the master of Fang Family.

The System Space, the Draconic Arcane Realm, the Morality City, each level was greater than the other, and this was going to be the last and the largest basic territory.

Therefore, from the very beginning, he needed to choose an absolutely reliable person, who would be close on guard during the early construction period.

For any construction processes in the city, they needed to be highly confidential.

Especially a city for the cultivation world, it involved the arrangement of formations, the absorption of vitality, safeguards…all these required high intelligence, and were things which could never be easily grasped by outsiders.

After much thought, Fang Ning still decided to dump this laborious, no, this glorious yet strenuous task to Cang Gongzi.

Didn’t it mention that it was going to investigate something in the underground Greater Rat World?

Perfect, the Greater Rat Clan must be building a city underground as well. He could instruct it to take the opportunity to observe, to learn from others’ strengths to offset their own weaknesses, and to gain experience.

The building of the city was not a hurry. At least, the Source of the existing Yin had to gather all the Yin energy in the entire arcane realm and transform it into Yang energy or Harmonic Yin Yang Energy before anything could be done.

Or else, even the construction team would not be able to enter, after all, ordinary people could not withstand Yin energy…

Eh, those spirit workers could enter in advance.

It was just nice that they already had practical work experiences of over half a year, so once they were done with their tasks in the Draconic Penitentiary, they could enter here to handle constructions of facilities. As a result, a huge amount of working fees could be saved.

Fang Ning figured out everything in detail, he had thought about everything regardless of their importance.

According to his experience in SimCity, should he be lazy in planning from the start, many huge deconstructions would need to be done after.

…

While Fang Ning considered how to build the city, Tom the black cat had already dismantled the altar.

When Vigilante A flew past the sky above and patrolled his territory blatantly just now, it made it feel especially irritated.

Cats were born with territory complex.

Now that it had the protection of the dumb Death, he could not locate it from the sky, but it could not stay for long on land.

He was not a fool anyway, so there were going to be more inch-by-inch searches, inspections at borders, and investigation of resources in the future. Thus, it could not hide on land.

Though over hundreds of thousands of kilometers in land area was considered to be massive, for a modern country, it was very small. With all sorts of highly effective technological tools, every inch of land could be easily searched, and basically anywhere strange could be detected.

If it wanted to implement the big plan that it had thought of, it had to start underground.

Damn it, those damn greater rats were smart. They had been building an underground city from the beginning, and had been living peacefully with Vigilante A.

Other than that, they had been wanting to cut off relations with it since a long time ago, so it was afraid that they had already seen through its background and was not willing to be brought into the situation.

This showed that the white hamster in lead was extremely cunning and was not at all inferior to Sir Tom.

Previously, it was even thinking of when to send them an express delivery, but had never had the reason to visit.

As Tom the black cat pondered indignantly, it led a group of its subordinates into a cave somewhere.

It wanted to start digging from there, and to build its own territory from the Yin energy arcane realm here.

It thought to itself, ‘Hmph, Vigilante A, you think that this is your territory, but I, Sir Tom, will stay deliberately…

‘You think you can have control over that newborn Heavenly Axiom, but you have no idea of what destiny it holds.

‘This arcane realm exists to be a Yin energy arcane realm, the Holy Land of Undead, you won’t succeed in changing that…’

…

Meanwhile, somewhere underground in China, the Greater Rat Clan, who were in both Fang Ning and the black cat’s minds, were amidst the full swing construction of an information management system.

In the future, once their country was established, this system would naturally become their corresponding managing system.

“Phase one of the online system is successful, and operations are very smooth. Thank you for your hard work these days, Operator Liu, Operator Li. You’ve tested every round seriously, implemented every step carefully, and never let go of any flaws, you’re simply perfect implementation models.”

In Bai Shixin’s private residence, he was serving two human engineers.

While he praised the two of them, he passed a golden card to each of them, a six-digit passcode was written on the back of each card.

“This is just a small token of appreciation, you don’t have to reject it, this is the reward for the phase one construction.” He smiled cheerfully, showing no signs of being suppressed by anyone.

Both Operator Liu and Operator Li looked at one another, and were rather anxious. Although they had been longing for this, they had been used to receiving dead wages and dead rewards, hence they felt somewhat uneasy when they finally received such an enormous amount of income. They felt like they were dreaming.

In the past, this was something only possible for salespeople or purchasing agents, technical staffs like them would never get the chance.

One could imagine that the golden card certainly contained an enormous amount of money. Looking at the position Bai Shixin held, anything given it to them would amount to at least a few million.

Operator Li gritted his teeth and was the first to receive the card, then smiled rather embarrassingly. “Obedience is better than politeness, thank you very much, Brother Bai. If anything happens to the system in the future or if you’d like to change anything, just look for me, I will be at your service 24/7.”

Bai Shixin smiled plainly, this was exactly one of his objectives.

He said at once, “Operator Li, you’re being too polite, we’ll discuss the phase two engineering matters tomorrow. Now, the five core departments are operating successfully at the moment, and the effectiveness is elevating in an exceedingly shocking manner. We’ll expand the second phase to secondary departments, and the last step will be an overall expansion. These matters are extremely complicated, I’ll have to rely on the both of you then.”

“You’re too kind, Brother Bai. with your strong coordination, those rat brothers were very cooperative, which spared us a lot of worries giving the work to humans.” Operator Li could not help but compliment.

“Haha, brother, you’re truly an honest person, all technical staff are; you’re right, greater rats were born with clear rankings. Once the big demon gives orders, the small demons listen, so we’re naturally better at the execution side of things as compared to humans. That being said, in comparison, they lack a lot in creativity and agility, they lack the thoughts of freedom and open-minded thinking.”

Bai Shixin said that as if he had other intentions, but the two engineers were technical staff, and just as he had mentioned, they did not think more than that.

They only laughed simpy and straightforwardly, after a conversation, they bid farewell at the same time and seemed a little impatient.

As Bai Shixin looked at their backs, he smiled and shook his head. He managed to guess their thoughts at all – they’re definitely going to look for a place to inquire the balance in the cards. They would totally be shocked, especially surprised, and distinctly satisfied.

They were ordinary people anyway, so it was quite good to live in such naivety.

A brief moment later, a young person walked out from his study room.

This person looked attractive and a little youthful, yet his eyes revealed a sense of determination, and a vague hint of morality surrounded his body.

“As expected, you’re different from other greater rats. Those were just two ordinary people, but you managed to treat them equally, I can’t tell previously.” Upon seeing the situation, the young person somewhat exclaimed, and had a confused look.

“Haha, what is ordinary? Comparably, everyone has an exceptional side and an ordinary side. Wisdom means one must be able to see this.” Bai Shixin turned around and said to the young person.

The young person nodded to agree.

Later on he said, “Recently, I’ve secretly investigated many Greater Rat Clans. That person has a tremendously high prestige that everyone is convinced of, most of them from clans think that the Greater Rat Clan will definitely prosper under his leadership, and it will only be a matter of time before they surpass humans.”

When Bai Shixin heard that, he sneered. “Back then in those years, the Japanese thought so too, but what happened in the end? Didn’t they become dogs? Where are they now?

“Anyone and everyone needs to have self-knowledge. In two hundred years, it won’t be possible for the great rats to surpass humans. Though science and technology are easy to learn, cultural foundations, clan morales, and race qualities need to be slowly accumulated and cannot be rushed. Intelligent creatures are not robots, they need complicated emotional support, especially social beings that live in groups.”

The young person said with certainty, “That’s right, if it involves the development of a clan, it is better to be slow than be hasty. Humans have left too many lessons behind, we can’t repeat the same mistakes. It’s a pity for that person, he probably has other plans. I’ve sensed through my blood veins, when humans were faced with the danger of the return of moon, his emotion was always one of excitement, so I think he has some scheme going on and might make do something major.”

Bai Shixin furrowed his brows after hearing this. “I’m really not sure about this. You didn’t know before this, but since I’ve completely shattered my meridians, I’ve lost connection with many spies and subordinates, I’ve lost reliable control over them.

“Nevertheless, from the way you put it, I deduce that the person is probably trying to use this case for the Greater Rat Clan to gain official approval of Heavenly Axiom in this realm. This way, he’ll be able to remove the biggest obstacle for ascension.”

“I think so too,” The young man nodded and said, “He broke out from his realm and came down in advance, it cost a huge amount of essence, and there have been no breakthroughs in his skill. Only by ascension will he be able to get rid of the obstacle and experience significant breakthrough. He definitely can’t wait for the greater rats to develop for two hundred years leisurely, so he probably will adopt measures for instant success.”

“This is why he is doing this information engineering, he wants to take a shortcut and overtake on a bend,” Bai Shixin analyzed one by one. “However, this engineering work is not considered for instant success, it’s a typical late-developing advantage, he took a very right step.

“As for how he decides to use the danger of the returning of the moon? I’m afraid only my cheap disciples know about it, you can try to contact him. Based on your strength now, they won’t be able to see through your background.”

Once Bai Shixin mentioned up to this point, his teeth were slightly clenched together, causing the young man to feel pity when he saw the situation.

Even so, the young person could not comfort him in any way. After all, the root and cause of this issue was still because of the hero that he was following.

Could he blame the hero? He could not.

Formerly, everyone was their own master, and the wins and losses depended on their own capabilities. Therefore, Bai Shixin had to reap what he had sown for looking for trouble on his own, it could only be said that destiny was fooling with him and it was difficult to tell gratitude apart from grudges.

In reality, human figures were not simple, brainless NPC in some game, the change in each and everyone’s standpoint was constant.

That was right, the young person was Cang Gongzi the white hamster, after he had come down, he secretly contacted Bai Shixin.

After all, the thing about his mother was informed as a hint by him. It was clear that he was already cautious against his father.
