Later, when Vigilante A had collected all the information he needed, he walked away leisurely after he had chucked the mech into the Draconic Arcane Realm.
Tom the Black Tiger sympathetically stared at the direction where the mech disappeared, and made a mental remark that that fellow would probably be detained longer than himself.
“Zhi Nan was so inhumane that he actually used the souls of the living to create mechs! We have so many cards saved in our hands, now is the time for us to crush him!” Fang Ning continued to fulfill his responsibilities by keeping the situation under control.
“Okay, got it. Just let it be.” Sir seemed uninterested after hearing Fang Ning’s proposal. Instead, it scanned the interior of the depot, and led Tom the black tiger out. Throughout the entire process, it managed to look mysteriously aloof.
Vigilante A studied his surroundings all the way out of the fuel depot. Then, he chose a direction and sneaked towards it.
Fang Ning could not fathom what Sir System was trying to do. This fellow was always a bloodthirsty maniac that was addicted to farming monsters, no?
He wanted to speak, but he was also afraid to disturb the genius at work. Alas, he could only hold back the urge.
With a turn of his eyes, he came to the office of the Draconic Penitentiary and asked Anderson for explanation.
There was no need for him to say anything; Anderson had already saw what happened through the live broadcast.
“Andy, what do you think the Venerable Dragon G.o.d is going to do now?”
“The Venerable One is probably going to search for the source for these sins, right?” Anderson was unsure.
“Maybe, but I don’t think so.” Fang Ning had an intuition that Sir System had something else on its mind.
When did this little thing learn how to hide things from himself? Something must be wrong. Was there a change after it evolved the System Map?
Fang Ning was frightened after he thought of that. It would be bad if that fellow had a change in nature.
He immediately opened the System Map and studied it closely. Then, he understood what Sir System was trying to do.
That fellow was still that one track-minded System after all. How was it possible that it would have any profound plans?
It did not have a change of nature; it was still the uncomplicated, innocent, honest System that had not forgotten its initial motivation…
On the System Map, some material warehouses were highlighted, indicating that they were filled with mountains of materials. It was obviously intentionally highlighted by Sir System.
Vast in territory and rich in resources was a perfect sentence to describe America. The rapidly developing industry and the abundant resources had once shocked the whole world.
With the coming of the new century, the manufacturing industry s.h.i.+fted, causing the country to be hollowed out. However, the emerging Era of Vitality led to a blockage of overseas traffic. Multiple industries in the country restarted once again, and all of them were working overtime to produce various resources.
The entirety of America had actually entered a state of semi-war.
During the Second World War, the abundance of produced war resources in America had already shown the others that there would be no other winner.
Fang Ning was instantly moved. Needless to say, Sir System must have been worried that a fight now would obliterate all these fragile yet precious resources. Thus, it did not hurry itself to meet Zhi Nan…
Sure enough, Fang Ning was the one who knew the System thoroughly.
In the next moment, Sir System cleared out the large industrial area by emptying each of the material warehouses with ease and familiarity, as if it were just taking a stroll in its house.
The resources that it collected were things such as building materials, food, clothing, machinery, steel, oil, vehicles…
“Fortunately, the Draconic Arcane Realm is a square kilometer long. Otherwise, it would be impossible for you to fit all of it in the System s.p.a.ce, sir…” Fang Ning sighed.
“Huhu, I am also not bad when it comes to controlling the overall situation,” gloated Sir in glee.
“Wouldn’t this lower your chivalrous virtues?” Fang Ning was still worried.
“How would this lower my chivalrous virtues? These are all tools used by the wicked devils to spread evil. It’s reasonable for me to confiscate it…” Sir System declared boldly.
“Hah hah, that’s absolutely correct.” Fang Ning nodded in agreement.
The construction of the Morality City was in need of various resources and materials. Every day, the golden mountains and silver oceans within Sir System’s money vault were quickly draining. It was no wonder why Sir System could set the experience points and farming aside for the free replenishment. After all, it would be a waste not to take something that was free.
The only regret here was that not long after they had experienced such a good thing, three to four figures had appeared in the sky above Vigilante A.
A light voice was heard from above.
“Vigilante A, these acts of thievery are way below a man of your status.”
That was Zhi Nan’s voice.
Vigilante A turned a deaf ear and resumed clearing the warehouse in a calm and collected way. It continued to chuck items into the Draconic Arcane Realm.
With every second, large amounts of resources went into the Arcane Realm, and was stored in a specific storage area.
“Can you see it, Saki? The Azure Dragon that you have always wors.h.i.+pped is actually just a thief. Of course, this is their clan’s Natural Trait. All talks of True Dragons being the guardian of the world were just a n.o.ble lie. In fact, their greed is commonly known among those in the Upper Realm. Based on the memory that master has given me, whoever that wishes to enter ztheir gates must provide treasures to the dragons. There was no way to know how many servants in their house have benefitted from that,” lectured Black Robe at a young girl beside him with disdain as he stood beside Zhi Nan.
Zhi Nan no longer spoke. Instead, he just watched Vigilante A’s actions with cold eyes.
However, not only did the young girl not look disgusted, her eyes shone brightly instead.
“What a reliable man; mummy said that a man that moves things back home is a good man,” said Saki Yamanas.h.i.+ with great longing.
“Um…” Black Robe was immediately speechless.
He finally understood it after giving it some thought. This gal was born in turbulent times, and it was normal for her to have similar thoughts. It could be entirely probable that she has a preference for men who takes care of their home…
D*mn, how could she side with the enemy despite being the Devil Lord’s disciple? For some reason, the Devil Lord did not question nor seek for any explanation.
Zhi Nan seemed to have no intention of stopping the hero. Instead, he watched from the sky, until Vigilante A finished clearing the last warehouse.
Fang Ning could not understand the reason behind the Devil Lord’s actions. What was he trying to do?
At the same time, Saki Yamanas.h.i.+ asked curiously, “Uncle Black Robe, why didn’t Master stop Sir Azure Dragon? Is he afraid of Sir Azure Dragon?”
When Black Robe heard that, he was immediately flushed with anger. He spat, “Hmph, Master is acting wisely. Vigilante A is so greedy that he would turn into a devil sooner or later. The more he takes now, the more greedy his heart will become, and the more devilish thoughts will flourish within him. Soon, he will be just like you, and turn into the Nine Demon Generals under his wings, and become one of the Nine Devil Deities in the future.”
“Is that so? That’s great!” Saki Yamanas.h.i.+’s eyes bloomed into hearts, and she quickly became excited as if she could see a scene where she would work together with Sir Azure Dragon in the future.
“Um, Sir System, would you turn into a devil?” Fang Ning was also worried after he heard their discussion.
“Turning into a devil? What’s that? I’ve always followed the rules within my heart. What devil are you talking about?” Sir System was perplexed.
“That’s great.” Fang Ning was relieved.
“Of course it’s great. Our haul this time will supply us with resources for three years. We will no longer need to exhaust my little gold vault in the future,” said Sir System, very pleased with the result.
“Hehe, I believe that Zhi Nan’s expression will be an interesting sight.” Fang Ning was gleeful.
Meanwhile, Zhi Nan finally spoke.
“Vigilante A, what business do you have here?”
The countless resources just now seemed to be nothing in the eyes of the Devil Lord. Well, that made sense; as a devil, mortal wealth and riches can just as well be dirt to him.
He controlled the Paradise Realm, and thus could conjure countless mountains of gold and oceans of silver.
Losing these resources in real life only meant that he needed to just order someone else to produce them again. In exchange, it would be a perfect bargain if Vigilante A’s greed could cause him to turn into a devil.
However, he could never have dreamt that the Fang Ning that was seized by Sir System was entirely cut off from the prospect of becoming a devil.
Perhaps Fang Ning could turn into the devil, but since the great amount of wealth was moved by Sir System and was entirely unrelated to Fang Ning, no greed would be elicited within him.
