Seized by the System Chapter 204

Fang Ning was eager to work . Just now, Sir System shocked everyone with what it did in Fang's Family Restaurant, so now it should be his turn to boast a little .

He arrived outside a modest, newly restored command room and asked the gatekeeper to inform Elder Hai, who was busy working inside .

After the previous battle, the Venerable Dragon God had already been granted special permission to roam freely in the main base . However, Fang Ning was different than Sir System, as he understood the rules and regulations, and chose not to enter any important locations at the main base .

Elder Hai was busy instructing everyone on how to set up a new formation for the defense system, but as he heard the arrival of the Venerable Dragon God, he immediately stopped his work and personally greeted him outside .

He received an emergency notice from the headquarters with information that the Venerable Dragon God managed to suppress a descendant from the Upper Realm, a reincarnated strong insect monster, with his bravery and righteousness . The Venerable one once again helped China by calming down an imminent threat, and indirectly saved a fortune for the Truth Department…

Elder Hai was thankful for the wisdom of the upper management . The tactic that was previously approved was showing its effect now . By successfully recruiting a righteous descendant, they managed to save manpower as well as reduce the number of chaos in the country .

Each new era will have its changes and differences, so trying to keep hold of a tradition will only lead to elimination . The elders had first-hand experiences with this saying .

He brought Vigilante A into a meeting room and received another piece of good news…

"What? The Venerable One has managed to convince this insect to help us eliminate those bloodthirsty beasts residing in the Land of Heritage?" Elder Hai was excited and the wrinkles on his face were shaking as Fang Ning stated his purpose here .

To be honest, he was constantly worrying about the imminent attack at the end of the year .

By then there would be hundreds of Pond-level monsters, and he had no idea how many people and resources he would need to suppress the invasion, and this was something that would happen once a year . Although it would be a good time to train their soldiers, it will also mean their development progress will be greatly delayed . Everything had its own pros and cons .

He understood that so long as the birthing ground of the bloodthirsty beasts remained, he would have the chance to train his army . The help offered by the Venerable Dragon God was to eliminate the majority of it, equivalent to reducing the intensity on the battlefield . This was the help that they needed . With his help, the fight could be easily controlled .

The great green insect just kept its head up, full of pride without saying a word .

It had no idea what the righteous dragon was going to ask it to do to earn money . It couldn't care less though . From their previous conversation it realized that it was a good person, so it would most likely not lie to it…

Fang Ning acted noble and said, "That is correct . This insect is reasonable, and I've already convinced it to eliminate those bloodthirsty beasts together . "

Elder Hai replied, "Good, good . I will get some workers to choose a wide area and dig a deep groove . I will make sure that the groove is deep and straight enough . This insect and you will be rewarded immediately after you've done your part in killing those beasts . "

The great green insect heard and got excited, 'Oh, this is his idea of earning money . This is so easy then . When I recover my true strength, I can go solo… This guy is too righteous so he must have a rigid characteristic . I don't want to play with him . '

Fang Ning nodded, "Very good then . Sorry for troubling you, Elder Hai . "

After that, he was guided to a resting area by another worker and gave his body back to Sir System for cultivation, while he went back to work in System Space .

The great green insect kept looking around but was afraid to leave Vigilante A . It sensed some danger in the surrounding forest, so it felt it would be safer staying near to it . Besides, it felt that Vigilante A was never afraid of anything .

…

Ten days later, Vigilante A was informed that the work had been completed . He brought along the great green insect to a secluded and overgrown hill .

A stone gully was built according to Fang Ning's requirements . It was 20 meters deep, 5 meters wide and 2,000 meters long . In front of the gully was a V-shaped hole with similar depth gully itself . Together it looked like a funnel, with a Y-shaped structure . However, this gully was not meant to be filled with water, but with strong monsters .

Outside of the gully, ten thousand workers gathered around along with a row of huge construction machines .

The machines weren't excavators or bulldozers; they looked similar to that spiritually-controlled mech that Fang Ning saw previously, but all the machines had more hands and legs, and all were equipped with construction tools instead of weapons .

The Truth Department never planned to carry out Fang Ning's request on grassy plains . Although the work might be easier, there was a chance they might accidentally hit water . The only place to avoid such a problem was on mountain plain .

The difficulty of digging into mountain was greatly increased compared to working on grass plains . If this was the older times, it would not be possible to complete it in ten plus days, yet now progress had sped up significantly…

Even though there were many dangerous things in the new era, at the same time, the ability for humans to restructure the world had also greatly increased . At least, construction machines that seemed to defied the law of physics was something unimaginable in the older times .

Fang Ning was satisfied with the progress . Without working together with the Truth Department, he would always be a liability, and would never satisfy the need of Sir System .

If Vigilante A were to dig this groove by himself, he would have taken more than a year to complete . This was the beneficial part of working together, where both parties can mutually benefit each other according to their needs .

He praised the captain of the construction workers before asking them to clear out immediately . The area would soon become very dangerous for them .

The captain said, "Venerable one, do you need somebody from the Truth Department to assist you in eliminating these beasts?"

Fang Ning rejected the offer naturally, "No thanks . If the situation were to go awry, it would be easier for me to escape alone . Having more people means a higher chance of innocent death . "

The captain felt touched by his words and replied, "The Venerable One is really righteous . We will clear out now . Stay safe, Venerable One . "

Fang Ning waved his hand and said, "Alright . Be careful on your way back . After I finish this I will ask Elder Hai to reward you guys . "

The captain thanked him and asked everyone to immediately get away . They weren't just any ordinary construction workers . Everyone moved quickly as they were highly trained . All the human-shaped construction machines started to move to clear out the area .

The great green insect heard him and understood his idea . He needed the green insect to emit its overpowering energy to rush all the beasts into the trap before killing them with ease .

However, it felt that the area was highly concentrated with vitality, and this would greatly benefit the growth of strong monsters . Tt least they would be better than it right now . Is this guy really that strong? The only thing there was a groove and nothing else, not even a trap .

When Vigilante A flew around on his flying sword, the great green insect was shocked when it saw a group of monsters .

"There's so many… No, this is just a group of porcupines . I myself could easily kill them off and take all the rewards, and you will get none…" The green insect lied on the shoulder of Vigilante A as it looked at hundreds of porcupines beneath them . It was shocked but remained calm as it realized it might accidentally expose itself with its reaction .

Vigilante A replied, "Oh yeah? If so, you can go ahead and kill them all . I am very fair . So long as you kill them, all the reward will be given to you . I will not take a single penny . "

The green insect shook its head and said, "Oh my, these beasts are too dirty . I don't want to touch any of them . You can do that yourself . I'll just focus on scaring them…"

Vigilante A said, "If that's the case, you just need to emit your energy and lure them towards the deep groove and let them run along it . . . "

The great green insect looked at the green flying sword and asked, "I see . Is this the best your sword can do though? Can you use this sword and impale the beasts till they die like a bunch of candied haws?"

Vigilante A replied, "This is a sword created using the best material in this realm and the secret technique of the Dragon Clan, so this thing is really strong . "

The great green insect was confused, "I never knew the Dragon Clan had something like a flying sword . At most you guys should only know how to keep it, but not use it…"

The System said to Fang Ning, "This insect seems like it has some idea about the Dragon Clan in the Upper Realm . It was originally a Skylake-level powerhouse so it should have some background . Try to change the topic…"

Fang Ning replied, "This is easy . This insect is an idiot who eats a lot, so it'll be easy tricking it . "

Fang Ning regained control of his body, but Sir System was still controlling the flying sword since he had no idea how to manage that .

He said to the great green insect, "This flying sword technique is something I managed to discover after I researched human technology with all my time after I descended . You just arrived, so it is normal for you to have no knowledge on this . "

The great green insect was shocked, "I see . You must be very lucky . You were born a dragon and must be slightly stronger than me, yet you managed to descend successfully…"

Fang Ning replied calmly, "I must do the right thing, and it is my responsibility to uphold justice . God will protect me . "

The great green insect never refuted his idea, instead, it agreed with him, "I see . Looks like this world also accepts good people . Originally when we found this realm, those strong clans in the Upper Realm chose some people to try to descend spiritually, but I heard most of them failed . I guess those were criminals… They weren't welcome . "

Fang Ning thought, 'Eh, this guy is really a foodie . It's so stupid, yet it knows so much insider information . Well, it is a true descender from the Upper Realm, unlike myself, who's just an imposter…'

He thought about something and said, "Actually, I was on the edge of failure . I almost lost all my memories when I descended . It took me half a year to go back to where I was . "

"That's more like it . Luckily, I never listen to my dad . I already knew there's nothing good for me to descend to, so I delayed until I could to come down with my original body . Unfortunately, my true body was still destroyed, only leaving behind a complete soul…"

The great green insect listened to Fang Ning, and felt thankful rather than suspicious . Just as it was about to say something it realized it might expose itself again, so it stared at him and said, "However, I still manage to keep the majority of my original power . There's no one who can compete against me in this world… Including you . I wasn't afraid of you just now . My dad taught me to never bully any nice people . "

Fang Ning was speechless, 'Hehe, the more this thing tries to emphasize on its strength, the weaker it actually is…"

Fang Ning was planning to continue digging for information, but someone was getting impatient .

The System said, "Enough with your act . Get her working now . By the time I gather those beasts, the workers would have left the area, so there shouldn't be any delays . "

Fang Ning realized he could never argue with Sir System who had its sight set on getting its Experience Points, and replied helplessly, "You never think about the bigger picture… Fine . I will wait for you to finish before continuing . "

…

After a moment, the Land of Heritage was filled with an overpowering energy . Suddenly, everything there started to run and birds were flying away .

Vigilante A was stepping on a flying sword and followed behind the group of porcupines . With the help of the green insect, it chased the group of wild beasts towards the deep gully .

When it was sure that the beasts were heading in the right direction, he immediately went and gathered another group of beasts . This time it targeted a group of bloodthirsty lizards…

And then a group of snake monsters…

There were other smaller groups of beasts around, but they were too scattered around to be gathered . Sir System ignored them as it felt it wasn't worth the effort .

Fang Ning counted around 500 plus beasts . If one beast could give 10,000,000 Experience Points, in total this group of beasts will provide around 5,000,000,000 Experience Points . The System will then improve over Pond-level and reposition itself as the strongest in the world .

That was good enough for him . He no longer needed to worry about anything and would then have the time to relax for a moment…

The groups of monsters was moving at different speeds . Some were moving faster than others, and some even ran in a different direction . Only Sir System had the patience and particularity to ensure everything worked as planned .

Fang Ning felt that if someone else were doing this, only 30% of the beasts would reach his desired position . Only Sir System could ensure that almost all the beasts would arrive around the same time .

Vigilante A saw all the beasts jump into the gully and said to the great green insect on his shoulder, "Alright . Try and lure them further and make sure no one is jumping or running around, then you can go and hide somewhere else . "

The great green insect held its waist with its front leg and replied, "I don't need to hide . You are a lot weaker than I am even though you are a green dragon . You couldn't even touch me!"

As it finished talking, it increased its energy and emitted its power towards the beasts trapped inside the gully .

The overpowering energy made all the monsters to act on their instinct without thought . All the beasts started flooding towards the only exit . A single beast was 2 to 3 meters wide, and the gully was only 5 meters wide, so could only allow one beast to enter at a time .

All the beasts were forced into a long line . No one could jump upwards or run towards another direction . The overpowering energy had infiltrated through the air and around them, only the gully was unaffected…

Something as simple as the trap would've easily been detected by normal beasts in the outer realm, but in the moment, they had lost their ability to think .

"Good, the chance is here . It's time for me to kill these monsters!" Vigilante A calmly said and disappeared immediately, leaving behind the great green insect .

It was stunned for a moment and thought, 'I'm also a monster though… Should I hide somewhere else first?'
