Chapter 600: Great Wall Summit
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Fang Ning was done inspecting the Scientific Academy of Vitality. He had fully expressed how much he valued this department, and highly elevated the morales of related personnel so that they would understand that a real powerhouse was supporting them.
In the past or present, whenever someone superior paid importance to a job, it somehow always sped up the progress of those jobs.
Although this place was bound to not show any results in three to five years’ time, it was a way to reinforce the roots and foundation.
Whether it was the Era of Technology or hundred years enterprises, they were all spearheaded by individuals who attached great value in researches and foundations. As for those who were greedy for quick money, they declined as fast as the outflow of their quick money.
When the Era of Vitality arrived, though it brought a huge change that was a first in over three thousand years, the concept was still the same. Only by having a solid foundation, the people could succeed due to their good preparations, and could withstand mistakes and failures.
To be able to bounce back from a failure, this was the most important thing.
People made mistakes, it was the same for big influencers; in compet.i.tions, the aspect being competed was the people’s tolerance in accepting fault.
Liu Bang 1 was able to come back even after countless failures, whereas Xiang Yu 2 showed no signs of getting back up after one failure. This was the gap between their foundations. Coincidentally, it was the same case for Li Zicheng3 .
Many people thought that Vigilante A liked to keep to himself, and was only immersed in eradicating demons. They always thought that he never bothered about group interests, so he must have limited room for growth in the future, and was at most a precursor of a king.
What they did not know was that Fang Ning who was hiding in the System s.p.a.ce was soundlessly making ma.s.sive arrangements, and by the time his plans bore fruits in the future, it would undoubtedly leave the whole world in awe.
Once Fang Ning was done with his act, he returned home fully satisfied… Back to the System s.p.a.ce, where he returned his body back to the System.
At the auto show at the very end, Vigilante A shook hands with the researchers, the yellow dog, and the black dog. Everything was very natural, then he waved to the crowd and left after that.
The crowd was filled with enthusiasm as they watched the Golden Train slowly moving away.
“We’re lucky to have a powerhouse like the Venerable One who values fundamental work so much. He’s truly a descendant of True Dragon, and a pair of dragon eyes that has great foresight. He’s certainly not a match for ordinary people.”
“Yes, with a top-notch figure like the Venerable Dragon G.o.d who is also kind and generous, what do we have to fear? Now, we have plenty of funds, good research targets, and abundant books for reference…”
A person agreed then turned to look and smiled at a Crimson-mantled Woodp.e.c.k.e.r that was also here to send the vigilante off.
As a matter of course, they were clueless that these things were forcibly taken away by the System through tricks.
The funds were from squeezing Fang Ning’s brain, the books were taken by the name of justice, from Nie Yuan who stole it from Bai s.h.i.+xin, and the research targets were acquired by Tom the black tiger through its schemes.
Since those were costless businesses, the System could afford to be generous.
Only when the Golden Train had gone out of everyone’s sight, the people left unwillingly.
They all wondered, ‘It’s so rare to have a big investor who is full of righteousness, and never bullies the weak.
‘From the interactions just now, he looks extra friendly, and his conversations were like normal conversations between ordinary employees. This is really hard to come by.
‘Most ordinary investors are arrogant and bossy towards their research personnel, let alone strong powerhouses.
‘In the modern scientific research system, a great portion of research members are just crew, there are very few who are masters. In terms of capital, these people who call themselves masters of human knowledge, and leaders of civilization development, they’re actually nothing more than high-cla.s.s tools.’
…
“As expected, technicians are very simple, I was able to satisfy them by just turning up to the event, those old slickers won’t be so easily pleased.” Fang Ning was contented.
“Aren’t you an old slicker?” The System responded angrily.
It was still vexed about its failure. After spending an extensive capital in building the Scientific Academy of Vitality that, it turned out that the host was going to be the biggest client in the future, which naturally made it feel exasperated since it had a stingy nature.
Though the System knew nothing about science, it knew that as lazy as Mr. Rich Boss could be, as long as he paid importance to something, he never let it down.
Therefore, while whatever belonged to the host belonged to it, and whatever belonged to it belonged to it only; it still hoped that all the good things would be its property.
After all, the host did not always listen to it. At least, it was not easy to wake him up from his deep sleep, and it always needed to use Zhi Nan’s temple block. Thus, it was extremely difficult for the System to gain even a bit of experience points…
Speaking of which, that ruined book had been farming quite a number of spots lately.
“…” Fang Ning was at a loss for words, and it was after a long while before he rejoined, “That’s because I never encountered a good boss, and was never given any percentage allotment, so I had to always use my tricks; or else, I can also be a hundred and twenty percent driven.”
“Uh, you’re quite reasonable. Ever since your family restaurant gave you some percentage allotment, you really became quite diligent.” The System thought for a while then agreed with him.
“Since that’s the case, that cultivation ability is entirely beneficial for you, why do you still behave like you lack perseverance? I’m still very puzzled even after much thought.” Afterward, the System asked as it was confused.
“Don’t I have you? You’re so highly efficient that as a failure, I feel so overwhelmed, that’s why I’m not as motivated? That being said, there are times when I’m really driven, whenever I cultivate the Dream Cultivation, I’m exceptionally driven.” Fang Ning replied confidently.
“Uh, I’m seriously suspecting that you’re making excuses to sleep. I’ve never encountered anyone who can cultivate and snore at the same time…” The System commented indignantly.
“Uh, you’re making false accusations again? You’re not me, how would you know that I can’t cultivate and snore at the same time?”
“You’re not me, how would you know that I don’t know?”
“… I can’t be bothered to go through this endless cycle with you.” Fang Ning went into the System Cyber Cafe at once.
“Zheng Dao sent a message.” The moment he turned on his computer, a QQ message popped up.
“The Truth Department is about to organize a Great Wall Summit to discuss the reinforcement and consolidation of security defense mechanisms. The conference will be held at x.x.x Mountain three days later. The invited guests are the Taoist Alliance, the Buddhist a.s.sociation, the a.s.sociation of Spirit Kings, Cloud Fog City… Such a.s.sociates and friendly units.”
“Oh, Mr. Rich Boss, it looks like you’ll be able to put on another show. Don’t you think that you should pay me some copyright fees?” The System grabbed the chance to say that.
“Why should I pay you?” Upon hearing that, Fang Ning felt very dispirited.
After his little treasury was fully cleared by Chong Daqing, he had not replenished it yet, how could he have any money?
Fortunately, his daily necessities were managed by the System, thus there was no need for him to spend money on those, and could save whatever money he earned.
“I was the one who earned Vigilante A’s reputation by farming spots one by one yet you’re the one using his fame to put on acts, don’t you need to pay me copyright fees?” The System uttered clearly.
“d.a.m.n it, Vigilante A is transformed from my body, I don’t see you paying me a cent for using my body… Pfft, this sounds a little weird.” When Fang Ning finished his sentence, he was speechless.
“Pfft, I’m seizing you every day, you never paid me anything either…”
Due to this issue that revolved around money, an irreparable crack finally appeared between the two partners who used to be very intimate.
“Stop, stop, we’re brothers who live or die together, let us not talk about money, it’ll hurt our feelings.”
“Even as brothers, we should keep clear accounts, caring about our feelings will hurt our money…”
“Enough, you don’t have to say anymore.” Fang Ning typed an emoji of “a dog with its mouth covered” on the computer.
“You’re taking this chance to rebuke me again.” The System was dismayed.
“This is an expression that represents friendliness.”
