Chapter 402: The Fierce Dark Tiger and Black Cat Tom
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
With the existence of the great green insect’s successful climbing experience, Butler Zheng took the opportunity to raise the tuition fees of ‘Stairway climbing lessons’ to another level…
Besides, they were all filthy rich, so he did not feel any psychological burden from ripping them off…
The next lesson would be in three days. With the great green insect as an example along with the Dragon God’s lesson, the representative of the Spirits—Fei Gui’s confidence greatly increased, and it decided to give it a go as well.
Vigilante A was completely unconcerned. He did not practice the policy of ‘results guaranteed, otherwise your fees will be refunded’. He merely looked around before flying away to continue carrying out justice…
Fei Gui walked confidently into the Divine Gate, but before it even reached the first step, it collapsed down on all fours and started twitching incessantly.
There was an immediate public outcry. The result of taking lessons was worse than not taking them at all. It could not even be compared to those that had just entered without preparation…
However, at least it could still stand, which made it slightly better than the sleeping bear that was still lying down.
“What a profiteer…” Seeing this, the same thought emerged in everyone’s thoughts at the same time.
Before long, a tough-looking spirit known as the ‘reckless spirit’ approached Zheng Dao to question him.
“This is your training? We spent so much money and expended three hundred ultimate evil spirits to learn the experience of climbing the stairway, and this is the result?! We want a refund!”
What? A refund? Preposterous!
Zheng Dao’s expression was solemn, and bouts of white energy emerged from his body. The people around him were shocked before they started exclaiming thunderously.
Who would have imagined that a mere butler of Vigilante A, someone who was basically a lackey, would have such pristine Morality Cultivation?
No wonder people always said that the place where Vigilante A lived was ‘a place where all righteousness gathered, where no evil can step foot in’. There were even people saying that ‘the surrounding house prices soared, fetching up to 300,000 RMB per square meter’. The rumors were indeed true!
Any random person picked out from Vigilante A’s home would have Morality protecting them!
The reckless spirit immediately retreated three foot away, visibly panicking.
It had thought that this gentle and kind-looking male would be an easy target to bully, but it never thought that he would be so tough instead!
He not only had Pond-level cultivation, but he was also releasing the Atmospheric Morality that was specialized in subduing evil!
In other words, did that mean that under the True Dragon, only those above Pond-level would be allowed to go out?
The reckless spirit hurriedly turned around and saw the black and yellow dogs glaring at each other; one was Pond-level, while the other was Lake-level. As for Mr. and Mrs. Sky Eagle who looked down at everything from high above, one was Lake-level, and the other was Pond-level as well.
There was even a top Lake-level Insect God, which had just comprehended the universe, currently squatting on the Black Dog’s head while eating jelly beans…
Besides that, there was also a white hamster chewing on a chestnut on the Black Dog’s back. Its cultivation was not low at all, and it was rumored that it was still in enlightenment.
At this moment, Zheng Dao’s voice sounded, “Why is it that one party’s student can obtain 100 marks while yours can only obtain 20 despite studying under the same teacher? I think I don’t need to explain the reason behind that, right?”
The reckless spirit seemed to have heard this familiar sentence before. It suddenly burst out into inexplicable tears, but no one knew what it thought.
The only thing everyone knew now was that it would no longer cause any trouble, as it quietly left. Its whole body seemed like it would disappear any time soon too.
Everyone looked on with horror. There was more to Butler Zheng than meets the eye!
His Morality prowess was profound, and his words were equally sharp. He was able to push back a party complaining about his teaching quality with just two sentences!
Butler Zheng’s expression turned bad after speaking. He had just raised the auction price, but he had already presented himself as such…
He thought to himself, ‘It looks like from now onwards, only students with extremely high qualifications can be chosen. We can’t just teach anyone that is willing to pay high tuition fees.’
If the students were just mediocre, it would affect the Hero’s fame too much…
…
Vigilante A was, of course, ignorant of the teaching accident that happened after he left.
He was currently in the construction site of Morality City in the Yin Energy Realm. His eyes glimmered when his gaze landed on a black tiger sculpture.
The sculpture was incredibly lifelike, just like an actual fearsome dark tiger. It was awe-inspiring, imposing, and carried an inexplicable nobility. It was absolutely extraordinary.
This extraordinary black tiger sculpture was actually something that the construction workers had offered as an expression of their gratitude towards the Venerable One’s kindness and generosity.
They said that it was dug up from the ground while they were unearthing the foundation.
Someone said that since this arcane realm belonged to the Venerable One, all treasures that are dug up should also belong to him.
Vigilante A was very grateful to their awareness and even especially rewarded the discoverer and all relevant personnel with two pills. He encouraged them to do well and told them that if they offered a treasure like this again in the future, there would be more rewards.
“I never thought that a treasure would come to me for free right after I said they never did. Looks like Daddy Axiom still dotes on me,” Sir System said gleefully.
With a wave of Vigilante A’s hand, the black tiger sculpture entered the Draconic Realm…
Fang Ning questioned, “Oh, you’re not going to keep it in your Preservation Area?”
“Eh, that’ll be a waste. I think the medicinal materials in the arcane realm will be maturing soon, so I’ll need a fierce fella to suppress them and prevent any bugs and ants from eating my materials. I think that tiger’s disposition should be strong enough to scare away those little bugs.”
“It certainly won’t be able to scare one certain bug,” Fang Ning pointed out.
“Don’t worry. I won’t let that great green insect enter the third floor,” The System said in concern.
“Hehe, that old ginseng would probably miss it very much,” Fang Ning reminded.
“Then you go take a look. The old ginseng should be refined soon, so we have to pay more attention to it. It’ll become the Herb King in the future, as well as the commander-in-chief of the herb garden,” Sir System ordered, and Fang Ning could only blame himself for his loose mouth which caused more duties to befall upon him…
He helplessly entered the Draconic Realm.
Inside, the sun shined brightly, the trees were lush, the villas were lined up, and the brooks gurgled. It was certainly a good place to live in.
If not for him being used to staying in the System Cyber Café, as well as the noise here, Fang Ning would have definitely moved here already.
His body moved, and he wobbled towards the exterior of the herb garden.
Once he arrived, he saw the fierce dark tiger sculpture crouching in front of the bamboo door of the herb garden, an imposing and menacing air about it.
A group of Whitestone people who were resting in between shifts currently surrounded it.
“I bet this fierce dark tiger is definitely alive,” Shi Da, who had gotten bigger from when he had first descended, pointed at the tiger’s head and said firmly.
“How’s that possible? Although this tiger looks incredibly lifelike, it’s not moving at all, so how could it be alive?” the other Whitestone people expressed in disbelief
Although they were all honest people who spoke honest words, honest words were in the end, just words that came from the heart. It did not equal the truth.
“Even if you don’t believe me, there’ll be someone who does,” insisted Shi Da on his own views.
“Look, that ‘His Excellency Dian Xing’ fella is here…”
“What Dian Xing, it’s ‘His Excellency Dian Yu’,” Shi Da corrected his companion before moving forward to welcome Fang Ning.
“Brother, please help me,” Shi Da greeted Fang Ning.
Fang Ning was not surprised at how they addressed him. They were different from Anderson in the way that they only knew Vigilante A.
Their stone heads would never be able to realize that Fang Ning and Vigilante A were actually the same person.
“What is it, Brother Shi Da?” Fang Ning asked courteously.
These people were different from those evildoers. They were honest people and diligent workers. They were the cornerstones, producers, and creators of the Draconic Realm… so his tone was much more polite.
“A fierce tiger sculpture dropped from the sky. I think it’s alive, just like us stone people, but my brothers disagree. Please help me testify,” said Shi Da straightforwardly as he rubbed his head.
“Oh, really?” Fang Ning was very surprised. Neither Sir System nor he felt that the sculpture was alive…
“Why do you think it’s alive?” Fang Ning continued to ask.
Shi Da blushed so much at the words that he turned from a Whitestone person to a Redstone person…
“Is it something difficult to say? We’re all men, so what’s there to be shy about?” provoked Fang Ning
Honest people really could not handle provocation.
“It’s actually really simple. I wanted to check if the tiger was male or female, so I secretly crouched down to look, but I saw the sculpture quietly clamp its tail…”
“Hiss…” Fang Ning received a shock. He did not expect another problem to appear.
He hurriedly told the System telepathically, “Look, your Khorium ore dog eyes really are lagging behind by a lot. This is yet another malicious person that wasn’t noticed in advance. If it suddenly caused trouble and did me in, won’t the bad luck fall on you then?”
“Yeah, it really did lag behind a lot,” admitted the System honestly, which made Fang Ning feel bad instantly.
“Rich-man Host, hurry up and give me some experience points to level up. We can’t continue on like this.”
‘So that’s it,’ Fang Ning’s head was hurting beyond relief now.
He said, “Don’t you have any other methods besides spending experience points? Don’t always look towards those experience points, they’re to be used for war preparations.”
“We are in the midst of war right now. I heard it clearly just now; this black tiger’s heart harbors evil intentions. It’s definitely here to entrap us. Since we’ve already entered a state of war, I need to upgrade my weapons and equipment,” Sir System asserted eloquently and adamantly.
“Godd*mit, how much do you need for those Khorium ore dog eyes?”
“It’s currently Legendary Level, so to upgrade it to Mythical Level would cost ten billion experience points…” Sir System’s voice became softer as it spoke.
“See, you know that that’s impossible even if I bring out all of our resources, but you still insist on talking about it,” Fang Ning took the chance to refuse.
However, even if he refused, things still needed to be solved.
He frowned and said, “Last time it was Claus, and this time it’s a black cat… but we didn’t manage to detect them at all. We need to find a solution to this problem.”
“This time, it’s a ‘fierce dark tiger’. Billionaire Host, are you blind?” Sir System corrected.
“What do you know? My intuition is telling me that it’s actually just a black cat that’s pretending to be a fierce black tiger to scare others,” Fang Ning asserted.
A moment later, a ‘hiss…’ sounded by Fang Ning’s ear, and it was the System’s turn to be surprised.
A few System Notifications appeared right after.
[The System used Legendary Esoteric Skill ‘Spirit Gaze’, expended 20 Morality Bars and 20 Aggro Bars.]
[The System activated skill ‘Clairvoyance’, currently expending 1 million experience points per minute.]
[The System discovered that the fierce black tiger sculpture is actually black cat Tom…]
“Billionaire Host, you’re really awesome. Did you actually obtain new skills from climbing the Stairway and hid them from me on purpose? I know, lying to me comes easily to you…” the System exclaimed.
“Hehe,” Fang Ning did not expect his guess to be true, but he quickly put on an act and said calmly, “You guessed correctly this time. Actually, my sense of foreboding towards impending danger has also greatly improved. As soon as I saw that fierce black tiger, the black cat Tom appeared in my mind, which was why I said it was a black cat instead.”
“I see, amazing indeed,” expressed the System in admiration.
