Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Just as Qiao Anping and Qiao Zijiang were talking about the strongest elites in the world, one of the “strongest elites”, Vigilante A, was also having a conversation with his new de-facto minion in a hotel at the countryside.

After a round of boasting, Vigilante A leaped out of the window in a hurry, using the excuse of having a lot of monsters to exterminate…

Zheng Dao admired at Vigilante A’s silhouette that was moving further away, thinking, ‘He really is a person who’s thinking for the good of the public, I’m so lucky I befriended him.’

He would not have guessed the System to be that eager after it had unlocked the map of Ji City.

It waited for so long only because there were a lot of things to handle. After letting Fang Ning and his new follower handle some chores, it would want to farm monsters to level itself up.

Zheng Dao looked at the name cards on the table, opened up his laptop, and set up a database for those contacts based on the names on the cards, public, and his own private channels.

He was busy well into the night. After he had some understanding about the people, he added their contact numbers and started calling them to introduce himself.

Looking at his professionalism, Fang Ning would have been impressed. He had always added people’s contacts and had immediately forgotten about them. If he had no urgent business, he would never have remembered them, let alone to set up a database for them…

Qiao Zishan said, “You’re Vigilante A’s manager? Oh, I can call you his butler? Oh, yes, he had mentioned it in a previous text. My name is Qiao Zishan, nice meeting you, Mr. Zheng.”

Zheng Dao had only talked for a few second, Qiao Zishan had already felt a sense of closeness. He had almost wanted to confide in him his recent experiences. Fortunately, he still maintained a professional outlook, leaving his experiences out of the conversation.

Qiao Zijiang said, “Butler Zheng, nice meeting you. If there is any need to contact Vigilante A in the future, do we always come to you first?”

Zheng Dao replied, “Preferably, but of course, if it’s something urgent, you can directly contact the two Venerable Ones.”

Qiao Zijiang asked in return, “Two Venerable Ones? Are these the true identities of Vigilante A and his White Snake companion?”

Zheng Dao was not shocked, he had already written ‘incredibly intelligent’ on her sheet, he was not at all surprised that she would be this sharp-witted.

Zheng Dao replied, “Oh, you meant The Venerable White Dragon and The Venerable Dragon God. The Venerable White Dragon is probably the latter one that you mentioned, and The Venerable Dragon God is the true identity of Vigilante A.”

Qiao Zijiang thought, ‘Lame. The white snake definitely made it up on the spot.’

However, she would not expose it just like that, she texted back, “If that’s the case, I would like to congratulate you, Butler Zheng. With the Dragons on your side, your future is going to be immeasurable.”

After exchanging pleasantries, Zheng Dao gave it a thought and added extra information under Qiao Zijiang.

After that were dozens of other people. Having talked to them, Zheng Dao found out every single one of them was important to their own field. Some of them were rich and influential, some others were strong and powerful. No matter who it was, they all treated him with respect as Vigilante A’s manager-slash-butler. This respect was hard to obtain under normal circumstances.

The more people spoke to him respectfully, the more he felt he holds a huge responsibility. It was such a massive riches in the form of connections. The two Venerable Ones were busy saving lives, so all their contacts were all entrusted to him. With such a big responsibility on his shoulder, he must put all his heart into managing the relationships.

That’s right, Sir System was busy, it had been farming all day, every day. No nation leaders in the world would be busier than it, not even three Zheng Daos would be able to catch up to its speed. It can, after all, set up a multithread system to do work…

The other Venerable One, Zheng Dao’s real boss, Fang Ning had been busy as well, but he was busy saving his guild in the game…

Now that Fang Ning had to use his daytime to cultivate, he could only game at night.

It was his first guild he had created by the power of money. It was not easy, claiming the throne in a popular game and enjoying the prestige of a pay-to-win warrior. However, there was a new game in town. It was said to be fun and enjoyable, his guild members had all stopped logging in, choosing to play the new game instead. His guild was at the point of crumbling…

Zheng Dao was busy all the way until 11 p.m. before he stretched his back satisfactorily. Back then, he was busy, but it was uninspiring, unlike the work he had done today.

He received a notification from QQ 1 . As soon as he saw the name of the sender, he sighed and tapped on his phone.

Lilac in the Rainy Alley typed, “You had been avoiding me lately. I’ve only just found out that you were possessed by a demon, why didn’t you look for me?”

Zheng Dao replied, “It’s causing harm to only me, why do I want to risk harming you?”

Lilac in the Rainy Alley continued, “You didn’t even ask me, how are you to know that I can’t handle it? Fine, let’s not talk about that. Now that you’re alright, why didn’t you call me?”

Zheng Dao explained, “I’d just followed a hero and am helping him with the cumbersome worldly matters. Now that the world’s such a dangerous place, I want to help him to save the world wholeheartedly… I am in no position to consider relationships for now, so I think you should let this go.”

Lilac in the Rainy Alley typed, “In the past, I had lost to a woman I’ve never met. In this situation, can I say that I’ve also lost to a man I’ve never met?”

Zheng Dao almost spewed blood onto his phone screen, “Can you not? The hero’s a good man, even if it’s just normal conversation, you shouldn’t accuse people like that.”

Lilac in the Rainy Alley retorted, “Hmph, it’s rare to see you so impressed by a person. I wanna see if he has three head and six arms.”

Zheng Dao felt helpless, “Please don’t make it hard for me for the sake of our relationship. I’m helping him to solve problems, not bring him problems.”

Lilac in the Rainy Alley challenged, “I wouldn’t look for trouble if you beg me.”

Zheng Dao relented, “Please, I beg of you.”

***************

Even his newfound follower had his own women issues, however, Fang Ning who was single could only entertain himself with games. He was rich, but because the System was controlling him, he could only play inside the System Space…

The next day, the System returned after farming a whole night, but Fang Ning felt a little empty inside. Why was that? He had been persuading people to stay, but the guild members were still quitting the game one after another, saying people only need to have money to play the guild leader in this lousy game, so it’s useless to even put any effort in.

They also said it was not as fun as the new game in which the equipment could only be obtained from the monsters. Not only that, the game was said to have a powerful hidden feature that will only be unlocked after a certain level in the game, and the players who had unlocked it were even asked to sign an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) or something…

The System sighed a sigh of satisfaction, “The big city was so different. So many monsters to fight, I don’t even have to wait for respawns. However, under the governance of Truth Department, there weren’t many that pose a challenge. Most of them were petty crimes, so that was the only fly in the ointment.”

Fang Ning felt weak, “Yeah, congratulations, there’s no danger this way, isn’t it?”

The System replied, “Yeah, but host, why do you look so dispirited? I didn’t cut off your internet or electricity, and you aren’t cultivating.”

Fang Ning explained, “It always happens whenever I mess up a game. Only when I am prepared to play the next new game can I be revived.”

The System said, “Oh, well. Revive soon. I’ll look for a place to cultivate before farming again. After all, we know the higher-ups in the Truth Department. As long as we don’t overdo it, nothing will happen.”

Fang Ning was still gloomy, “Okay. I’m jealous of you for not having a heart, you only need a junk game to satisfy you…”

His cash-clad character was almost wasted. Without other players playing with him, no amount of cash-armors would be satisfying…

At this point, there was only one other pay-to-win warrior called Filling the Sea with Ashes who also poured in a lot of money in the game…

Fang Ning typed dejectedly, “Sea, you still playing?”

Filling the Sea with Ashes replied, “What for? No one’s here anymore. That’s weird, people shouldn’t have dispersed so quickly. Normally it would take at least half a year for a server to be completely empty. The game had been so popular, and the last month, player count dropped so suddenly, that’s too strange.”

“Forget it. My grandpa had just returned from the something cultivation class. He rounded up the whole family and asked us to learn about cultivation, asking me to prepare to cultivate. I wouldn’t have time in the future to play anymore, gimme your phone number, lemme treat you to a meal.”

Fang Ning’s interest was piqued, “I’ll leave you my number in a bit. Oh, what’s your grandpa’s surname? I might know him. Is it the cultivation class in Ji City?”

Naturally, Fang Ning would not tell anyone the full address, he could not leak it out.

Filling the Sea with Ashes replied, “Oh, that’s right. I think it’s called something Garden? Grandpa didn’t tell me the full story, oh, his surname is Wei. Did you join the cultivation class as well? That class was pretty expensive, my grandpa didn’t even bring me there, he said that two people going to the class is a little wasteful, so he went there first. You’re a rich man, it seems.”

A little bit of life returned to Fang Ning’s eyes. He typed, “Haha, that’s nothing. I had just come into some money recently. I believe I know your grandfather. Something happened in class, luckily your grandfather was calm enough that nothing else happened.”

Of course, Fang Ning would not talk about the monster, he did not want to scare people unnecessarily.

Filling the Sea with Ashes typed, “Oh, that’s right. Grandpa did say something happened. He had always been the spine of the house. He even brought back an amulet this time around and put it into the main hall. I wasn’t even allowed to touch it, he said the amulet’s gonna protect the whole of House Wei.”

Fang Ning replied, “Mr. Wei was right. Sea, just be careful, don’t try and touch it out of curiosity. I have one as well. Cultivate properly. The sun is almost up, I should go soon, I’, going to cultivate in a bit.”

Filling the Sea with Ashes agreed, “Okay, I’ll listen to you. I won’t touch it. Oh yeah, send your number to my email. I don’t think I’ll log in anymore.”

Having said goodbye to his last guildmate, Fang Ning looked around, crestfallen. He decided to read up on several novels to refresh himself.
