Chapter 835: Priorities

At the balcony of Vigilante A’s farm villa.

Fang Ning requested for Butler Chen to brew a pot of Bilochu Tea. He then sat comfortably on the chair, drinking tea while reading the book titled ‘Introduction to Modern Biology.’

The book was thick, at approximately 500 pages, but Fang Ning had a strong belief that he could finish reading it within a day. He then planned to spend another two days doing simple experimentations to fully grasp the book.

Sir System was strongly against the idea, it thought this method was too wasteful for Fang Ning’s body.

Fang Ning then eloquently asserted, “What do you know? It’s going to be soul consuming if I use my spirit to read the book, not to mention inefficient. It’s better if I depend on my brain, I’d understand everything better and faster.”

“That’s you being lazy, I don’t see the difference.” Sir System replied disapprovingly.

It was obviously unable to mandate the Host, but this was still a huge loss for Sir System.

Even though in their current state they were inadequate to farm big mobs, at least they could have farmed smaller mobs.

“Stop your nonsense, I don’t need your permission to use my own body.” Fang Ning said straightforwardly, “Don’t disturb me while I study, I’m actually doing serious business.”

“If it’s not serious business, do you actually think I’ll constantly seize your body?” Sir System said eloquently.

Fang Ning ignored the secondhand fool and continued immersing himself in his studying.

It had been quite a while since he was so focused on improving himself. Looking at the rows of words that emitted the smell of ink, he suddenly understood why although online reading was something so widespread, it could never replace a real physical book.

The reason was quite simple, so long as human beings felt the need to act pretentious, a real physical book would never disappear.

No matter how convenient online reading was, it would never give off that pretentious vibe akin to reading a real book.

Fang Ning read the book vigorously, to the point that he neglected sleep and forgot to eat. The moment he started reading it, it continued for a full day and night.

Sir System noticed how immersed he was and chose to stop bothering him. He could only take some time out to operate the remaining 12 threads and train its own Life Skill.

As Fang Ning had been reading for a whole day, Sir System had trained for a whole day as well.

‘Ugh, I’m probably the most tragic system in history. For other people’s systems, the host would be the one required to train these skills by hard work. Why am I the one training so hard for these skills?’ Sir System thought to himself unhappily.

“Bullsh*t, other people’s systems don’t possess a consciousness and don’t care if their host is dead or alive, as it’s not related to them, not to mention they have no desire to survive. But for you, one that’s terrified of dying, of course you’re obligated to work harder!” Fang Ning replied him eloquently while reading his book.

“Hiss…” Sir System hissed as he was startled. “You can read my mind now? Impossible, that’s just impossible!”

“Nonsense, you said it out loud…” Fang Ning replied to him, feeling speechless.

“Oh, did I?” Sir System replied feeling eased but afterward continued, “Not good, Anderson just sent us some Intelligence, you should hurry to the System Cyber Cafe and check on it.”

“Is this another one of your strategies?” Fang Ning replied but did not put down his book.

“Sh*t, I wouldn’t trick you with such an important matter.” the System said angrily.

Fang Ning shook his head still in doubt, “Last time you ruthlessly tricked me, and if it wasn’t because of my triggered Mythical Level Heroic Achievement, I wouldn’t have seen through you.”

“Uh… This time it’s for real. Anderson said that based on that trusted Intelligence, the Moon Goddess is also looking for a base to reach illumination, and her base is on Azure Mountain… Previously they came to seek help, but their real intention was to spread the blight. After it’s done we won’t care less whether they’re alive or dead, but now it’s impossible to do so.” Sir System said, repeating the report.

“Oh, I see. Then. the matters need to be prioritized in order. Destroying the God of Plagues’ plan is a priority, but it can wait. The rotten matter on Azure Mountain, now that’s urgent and needs to be settled fast. If the Moon Goddess seized Azure Mountain, a disaster is imminent, and she might become a god on the spot.” Fang Ning said as he realized the severity of the situation.

“Yes, that’s true, but we just abandoned them. If we go back now, will that be such a good idea?” Sir System said in hesitation.

“What? Since when have you ever cared about your dignity? Why would you even think about that?” Fang Ning replied to him feeling surprised.

Sir System replied him in disdain, “You’re crazy, I haven’t finished my sentence. I was saying if we took the initiative to solve the problem, wouldn’t it be difficult to demand reward?”

“Uh, I was wrong. I thought that you were feeling awkward; I didn’t think you’d have such a different way of thinking things through. You’re really the rarest flower in a field of rare flowers!” Fang Ning said in admiration.

“I’m just all right…” Sir System said complacently.

“Fine, I’ll stop studying now and the body is yours. We’ll go to Azure Mountain tomorrow but not initiate anything, we’ll just be observing the two Gods’ tracks. We’ll see if they have any tricks up their sleeves that could possibly coerce Boss Sang to let go of the base to reach illumination.” Fang Ning decided in determination.

Since getting the path of godhood from Bodhisattva Spirit King, he understood that even if the God of Plagues could master the evolution of life and the rule of cell division, he would still need Heavenly Recognition in order to have the title of a God.

This was also the root of their reason to go against the Heavenly Axiom, once the Heavenly Axiom was on their side, everything would be in their favor.

On the other hand, for the Moon Goddess, once she seized Azure Mountain, she would possess a realm that was built on the lands of Lunaette, there would be a possibility of a Noumenon Descend, ascending her to a god status on the spot.

After all, she was already the precognitive Moon Goddess, once she seized this land on the moon, it would be equivalent to having the title of a God.

This was the difference between the God of Plagues and the Moon Goddess.

The jade scroll given by Bodhisattva stated lots of examples of precognitive Gods becoming Gods, such as the Gods of mountains and rivers. Once a relevant land was conquered, it would be equivalent to an Empyrean acceptance.

Once they had unanimously decided, Vigilante A placed his book down and went towards the sky.

At the exact moment, a young farmer looked up into the sky and sent a signal somewhere.

If only Fang Ning knew there was traitor right under Vigilante A’s nose, he would be astounded. This meant that the System Map had not detected it…

….

Morality City, In the Red Queen’s Cloud Computational Center.

Black Robe had gotten the information almost immediately, he had an inconceivable facial expression on his face.

“Vigilante A’s such a pedantic, yet he really didn’t even bother to monitor me.”

He pondered around while walking back and forth, still in disbelief.

Although according to the information he had gotten just now, it definitely proved that when Vigilante A had gotten his own information, he left immediately.

This further proved that the other party did not know this was a first-time tryout. Further concluding that when he had the conversation with his master yesterday, the other party had not spied on him.

Otherwise, the other party would have initiated an action against the Moon Goddess yesterday, and not wait until today to leak the information.

Unless the other party had done this on purpose, but this served them no benefit as they would not have done such a big scheme on such small matter.

The scheming method did not fit the persona of Vigilante A, he was someone that would face an argument head-on and one that would never play mind games.

“Seems like these guys really are rare righteous men, but how long could they possibly be this righteous? On the Upper Realm, the Righteous God was the one that died the fastest, he could not even live more than a hundred thousand years, while the other gods had an average lifespan of a million years, the difference is just so baffling.” Black Robe said while he shook his head.

He felt at ease in Morality City, secrets were difficult to be leaked. He could stay here with peace of mind.

At least until the two gods p*ssed off, he would not be going anywhere.

Else, they would do things to put him on the spot. These gods were known to be selfishly oversensitive, and master had made it as clear as daylight in his memories.

If a mortal gave the gods an irreverent look, it may lead to the destruction of a whole country. When divide powers were unconstrained, dire consequences followed suit.
