Chapter 423: Heaven Will Help When Your Luck Arrives

As the Lunar Spirituals were sent away, the Divine Gate remained open and everyone was still competing in the Stairway to Heaven. A certain bear was, as usual, sleeping.

The Venerable Dragon God continued his lecture series every three days. However, it was no longer open to just anyone with the cash. His lecture had stricter rules that omitted anyone that was not talented, regardless of how rich they were.

Rumor had it that this was implemented by Butler Zheng to keep the reputation of Dragon God. Unsurprisingly, the passing rate had increased ever since this rule was in place.

Two participants from the human-race had passed the first stage, but the demons were even better as three odd-looking demons also completed the first stage.

That was proving to everyone the importance of protecting wildlife. Those that felt that it was not beneficial to have too many species in the world and shrugged off the idea of conservation were receiving a big slap on their ideals.

Everything in the world had their own strengths that they never realized. However, with a change in circumstances, they could prove their competitiveness like everyone else.

Everyone knew that only a Lake-level powerhouse or stronger could satisfy the requirement for the second stage!

It seemed like most of the competitors would only reach the first stage.

There were only a selected few people at that level, and even they would refrain from joining the competition too early and exposing their weaknesses to the others.

Fang Ning no longer cared about the competition, as if he wasn’t the one that opened the Divine Gate…

Ever since he got his hands on twelve spiritually-controlled mechs, he would indulge himself by observing their training in the arena situated on the second level of the Draconic Arcane Realm.

The Guardian, Achilles, fell in love with those war machines. He took ownership over one of the machines and started his own training.

War Demon Lei Tian was godlike when it came to piloting those mechs.

The arena was a huge cylinder at 30 meters tall with a radius of 300 meters.

“Come on, baby,” a red machine pointed its fingers towards a blue machine opposite it.

The blue machine walked towards it clumsily like it was having a hard time balancing itself.

“Haha, you’re die immediately on the battlefield,” the red machine reappeared behind the blue machine in an instant before holding the opponent’s neck with a chainsaw on its right hand.

“Give me some time to master this,” Achilles’s voice appeared from the blue machine.

The blue machine started warming up for ten minutes and became more agile as time went by.

However, it was like a child compared to the red machine, who was moving around like a professional athlete.

Fang Ning sat on the audience seat, accompanied by President Zhao and his family. He was enjoying the match.

Space was limited, but it was a lot more peaceful and quiet compared to the outside world.

He was self-satisfied. In that space, he could remain at ease even when the outside world is falling apart.

That was what Fang Ning always wanted. He had nothing more to ask for as he had already achieved his dream.

System Notification: [The Host is losing his fighting spirit dramatically …]

“Hehe, Sir System, did you make this up? Admit it,” Fang Ning said disdainfully.

“Why are you accusing me?” Sir System was helpless, “It also notified me about my problem previously.”

“Really?” Fang Ning said in disbelief. However, he stopped his accusation since he had no evidence on his side.

“Stop watching the competition and do something meaningful. You are free from managing the Stairway to Heaven and pushed the responsibility of catching those Lunarians to Ren Ruofeng. Can’t you think of what else can you do right now?” Sir System said.

“I knew you were going to start this conversation,” Fang Ning unwillingly left the place after bidding farewell to the Zhao family.

He rushed back to his internet café. He placed his legs on the table and rubbed his chin while trying to figure out his next action.

Sir System was an aggressive character when it came to finding things to do. It never procrastinated at all and was always a step ahead of everything.

As for himself, everything that was his was either in production, in training, or learning. Plus, he had no responsibilities on himself since he was so great in pushing them away.

‘Right, I should have a look at the construction of Morality City where my base will soon be. Besides, I need to think about it more since the Truth Department will move their factories in the future.’

…

A moment later, Fang Ning arrived at the Morality City on the golden express.

The construction work was progressing rapidly, and the place looked different after just half a month.

Fang Ning walked into the temporary command center in the construction site. He saw an aquarium on the table near the door. In it, a golden koi was carefully hiding a gold ring into the creeks of those fake mountain decorations.

The golden koi quickly jumped out of the water like it didn’t do anything and greeted its boss. “Hello there, master…”

“Hello there. Sorry that you need to work harder since Cang Gongzi is not around.”

Fang Ning greeted the dragon carp and sat on his chair. He ignored the dragon carp and Sir System no longer sent any notifications.

The dragon carp replied, “I am not tired. Thank you for your kindness.”

After a while, a fifty-plus-year-old supervising civil engineer of the construction works walked in and started reporting his progress to Fang Ning.

Everyone knew who Vigilante A was…

Fang Ning was satisfied after listening to him. The group of civil engineers was from a top construction team, so their efficiency would always be better than everyone else. Plus, with their implementation of new spiritually-controlled construction mechs, they managed to further improve their effectiveness and reduce the cost of manpower.

After just a month, the structures were already built. A few roads had already been set up for the city.

From residential zones, industrial zones, commercial zones, public services… Everything had a detailed plan for their building and arrangement.

All the planning was done by the best planning company in the world. Their ability was so much better than Fang Ning, who only knew how to play Tropico and Sim City.

The design pitched by the company would be fail-proof…

Fang Ning exited his office. The dragon carp wanted to follow him, but it sadly fell back into the aquarium.

“Where are you, black dog? Hurry back and carry me…” It murmured. It knew it would be hard to climb the rankings if it couldn’t follow its master.

‘Oh well, I should increase my training intensity and become an amphibious fish…’

The dragon carp set a goal and started cultivating inside the fake mountain.

Fang Ning stood on top of a hill and looked upon the construction works while a few workers followed behind him.

A road was being built from the North to the South.

All the zones were being set up right along the main road…

A power generator was planned to be built on the South West area, which was also one of the most important zones in the whole city.

Fang Ning thought of a problem as he looked at the area, ‘How are Ren Ruofeng and his group going to overcome the problem with electricity…’

He had no knowledge of how to solve the problem, so he once again pushed it to them to handle it. As a last resort, he would ask the great green insect to help with solving some of the more critical issues…

Fang Ning was satisfied.

Just as he was going to turn back, he felt an itch on his leg.

He looked down and saw a grey ant climbing his leg and holding onto a strand of leg hair…

Fang Ning was shocked, “Sir, your body shield is still not powerful enough. Even an ant can easily break your guard…”

“Are you stupid? Do you really think it can get near me without my permission? I think it is trying to tell us that our time has come,” Sir System replied happily.

“Si…” Fang Ning took a deep breath, “What luck.”

He started talking to the little ant.

“Brother ant, why are you here today?” Fang Ning asked.

The ant seemed like it understood him and started replying with its antennas.

“I don’t understand. Sir, please translate for me…” Fang Ning was speechless.

“One thousand meters below the ground lies an old palace. There’s a pearl inside it which it couldn’t carry away. It is suggesting that we split the pearl into half…” Sir System somehow managed to translate it.

“Good one. Since you are so generous, please lead the way,” Fang Ning accepted its proposition.

They understood that all of this was arranged by Heaven.

The Gods would help them in increasing their chances of encountering boons while reducing the probability of bad things happening to them.

Even Heaven was helping them when it was their time.
