After a while, Fang Ning finally recovered from his daze and flipped through the crudely made thread-bound book.
As expected, only the first few pages of the book had content. After a page labeled "Mission Scroll", there were only two pages with the contents of Mission One and Mission Two written on them. The pages after that were empty except for a line that read, "Please wait patiently for the game update, the future will be more exciting …"
"As if I'll wait patiently, I don't have any expectations for the future …" Fang Ning muttered as he tossed the book titled "Life Online" into the System Cyber Cafe. The book flew under the table with a "Biu" sound …
'Even if I don't play "Who Cares", I've already been nostalgic for such an ancient text MUD game for 860 times!'
Fang Ning's spiritual sense left the System Cyber Cafe and went outside to continue playing his "Battle of the Beasts" game. Now that's what I call fun, I'm still far from crippling myself!
He continued to play excitedly for about ten minutes before he suddenly stopped. He didn't even care that his character was being surrounded by monsters and was about to die.
'Wait a minute!' Fang Ning's eyes turned as he came up with a brilliant idea. This was something he could only come up with based on his previous profession. With his ten years of experience as a coder, as long as the idiotic System kept on doing this, he wouldn't have to worry about money anymore!
'Hehe,' Fang Ning was very pleased with himself after he thought of that idea. He immediately retracted his spiritual sense and went back into the System Cyber Cafe. He quickly found the game book under the table and hugged it tightly to his chest, as if no one was going to take it from him.
Fang Ning coughed a few times, cleared his throat, and organized his thoughts.
Just as he was about to speak, he thought for a moment and immediately opened the recording software on the computer in the System Cyber Cafe.
After he was done preparing, he said, "Sir System, I've just made a very difficult decision. I'll definitely take more time off to play this game of yours in the future."
The System immediately jumped out, "How is it, Host? You finally understand my painstaking efforts! I knew that the high-quality game that I've been working on for months would definitely be better than that Battle Royale you're playing right now! "
Fang Ning ignored the System's deliberate slander and complimented it instead, "Yes, yes, Sir System, you're the best of the best. This game that you've developed is extremely realistic, and it's all played by real people. Even virtual reality games can't compare, let alone this 3D computer game that I'm playing now. I'm really impressed."
The System said proudly, "Hmm, it's good that you have this awareness. Have fun in the future. If there's anything you want to update, just let me know. "
Fang Ning hurriedly said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll definitely play it to my heart's content. I believe that this game of yours will always surprise me, and bring me many unexpected surprises … No, no, it's fun, fun."
Sir System said, "Alright, you don't have to flatter me anymore. I'm not like you humans, I won't fall for your tricks. Hurry up and complete the quest. I don't have the option to kill you if you can't complete the quest. You can play with confidence and make full use of your imagination. "
Fang Ning said, "Yes, yes, I'm grateful for your kindness. I just have a question that I'm not sure if I should ask. "
The System said, "When have you ever been so polite other than when you're asking for money? If you have a question, just say it. Don't waste my isolated cultivation time. "
Fang Ning thought to himself, 'As expected, this stupid System is no longer the same as it was a few months ago. It's much more experienced now, and I can't continue to look at it with my old eyes. Of course, my brain has evolved faster, so it's not a problem for me to crush it. '
Fang Ning said, "Oh, it's like this. Let me ask you, where's the quest module you developed? It can't be in this book, can it? I just have to shout at it when I submit the quest? "
The System said, "Yes, you're still as smart as ever. From now on, all the modules will be loaded into this book. I spent a hundred thousand experience points to make this equipment for you, so it contains a shred of the Maxim. It's not like those pretentious web novels that you bought before, Host. " “
Sir System's voice became louder as it spoke, "Your high-level mechanical puppet substitute only cost 217,000 experience points. This one cost me 105,000 experience points the moment it was born, and it's only a beginner's inferior version!
"You dared to throw it away just now? If you didn't pick it up and hug it like a big treasure, I would've canceled your one-week holiday. "
Fang Ning felt a chill down his spine. Thank goodness he had that thought and treated this book like a treasure, so he got lucky. How lucky.
Fang Ning quickly said, "That's because I'm ignorant, please don't mind me, Sir. Let me ask again, is it up to you to complete the quest or not? Or does the quest module in this book say that it's completed if it passes? "
The System said, "Of course it's up to the book. If it thinks it passes, I'll accept it, or else my chivalrous attribute will drop. What kind of hero doesn't keep his promise?
"When I update this game, you have to return the book. Other than me updating it, I won't care about this book. Wait, Host, why are you asking so many questions? What are you trying to do … "
Fang Ning immediately answered, "Alright, that's what you said. You can't change it again. If you do, I'll stop playing this game of yours immediately. "
The System said, "I'm a Wuxia System, I'm a man of my word. I'm not like you who spouts nonsense and lies …"
Fang Ning said, "Isn't that the result of me plugging your loopholes every day? How dare you criticize me?"
The System said, "Don't change the topic. Why are you asking me so many questions? What are you trying to do? "
Fang Ning said, "Nothing, I just want to submit Mission One …"
The System said, "Impossible, how did you come up with an idea so quickly! Even the Bodhisattva Spirit King was worried that its rats would cause trouble, so he didn't dare to touch it. "
Fang Ning hugged the coarse thread-bound book tightly. "If I tell you my idea, you'll only find it more troublesome … but this precious game book of mine will definitely not care."
The System said, "You're trying to trick me, aren't you?"
Fang Ning said, "Yes, my precious game book, I submit Mission One. The perfect plan is to first kill all the giant rats, then find Elder Ancestor Bai's whereabouts through the Truth Department, then find Bodhisattva Spirit King and kill Elder Ancestor Bai with the System."
The System was speechless.
Fang Ning thought, 'You're telling an experienced gamer and coder like me that there are no bugs in the game? I've never seen a game without bugs …'
System Notification:
The mission module of the beginner-level fake text and picture game book "Life OnLine" has been activated. Beginning to accept the Host's submission of Mission One.
[Mission One: The Perfect Plan: Think of a perfect plan to kill Elder Ancestor Bai within three days.]
[Mission Module evaluating …]
[Mission Module evaluating …]
[Mission Module: Host completed Mission One perfectly. Mission completion rate: 100%.] [Reward distributed: 500,000 in cash. The System needs to create the Host's Attribute Panel within three days.]
[Five hundred thousand has been transferred into your free bank account.]
Fang Ning kissed the book and hugged it tightly in his arms, "It's finally here. Thank you, my precious game book. Sir System, your game missions are so fun, but the rewards are too little. It's not enough for me, hurry up and give me a few more. "
The System said, "Give me back that stupid book! I want to update it, I want to fix the bug overnight … "
Fang Ning said, "I'm not giving it to you, don't even think about touching my precious game book! You said it's my equipment, so let me finish Mission Two first. It's a million after all. Why didn't you give me a few more at once … "
The System was speechless.
Just as Fang Ning was feeling smug, his QQ suddenly lit up on his computer. He quickly opened it and saw that it was from Zheng Dao.
Zheng Dao wanted to take two days off to go out, and Fang Ning immediately approved it. Nonsense, how could he not approve of Zheng Dao's hard work?
Fang Ning finished his interlude and said, "Alright, Sir System, continue thinking about the missions you should give me. You can update after I finish Mission Two. I don't need Vigilante A's body anymore. I need to hug my precious game book and play games in the System Cyber Cafe, so you don't have to steal it and change Mission Two again … "
The System said, "Even if I don't change it, you won't be able to complete it. There's no loophole for you to take advantage of that infinite long main storyline mission …"
Fang Ning logged back into Battle of the Beasts from the System Cyber Cafe's computer and said casually, "You're raising flags again, I'll definitely complete it easily …"
The System said, "I, I'll cut off the electricity and internet in the System Cyber Cafe, let's see if you can go out and play …"
Fang Ning spat out a mouthful of blood, "With a game developer like you, how am I supposed to play in the future …"
The System admitted defeat, "Forget it, it's the first time I've given you a mission. Just play your game, I won't steal your precious game book."
… …
Somewhere in the north, in a secluded Taoist temple, there were very few visitors. Leaves had fallen all over the ground, but no one was cleaning it up.
In one of the rooms in the temple, an old man holding a horsetail whisk stood behind a young man who was engrossed in his online game.
The young man was so focused that he didn't care about what was happening behind him. He was immersed in the game, and occasionally typed on the keyboard.
The old man looked at the young man for a while, and suddenly said, "Son, your father has spent too much on artifact crafting, and now I've invested the last bit of money I have. You should know that my new method is more efficient, but it costs more. If your idea doesn't work, our temple will immediately go bankrupt … "
The young man said in disdain, "Father, why don't you just sell any one of your treasures and you'll have money immediately? Do you have to scare me with bankruptcy?"
The old man pretended to hit the young man with the horsetail whisk, "Those treasures are used to save lives. It's easy to sell them, but it'll be hard to buy them back!"
The young man said, "Don't hit me, look, there are so many tycoons signing up, and you're still worried about business? I'm just worried that you won't be able to teach them. "
The old man glared at him, "How is that possible, your father is one of the four strongest people in China. That Basic Cultivation of the Spirit is just a basic cultivation method, and it's so simplified. I can learn it with one look, why can't I teach normal people?"
The young man said, "Don't brag, you're the second person to learn it. The 'Pioneer Cultivator', Dragon Ascending The Heavens, was the first person to learn it in this game."
The old man said, "It's all because our temple is located in a remote area, and the signal between us and the Nets Above Snares Below is not good. That's why he succeeded first. When we get rich in the future and move to a big city, there won't be such a problem anymore. "
The young man said, "Then you have to teach them well and get rich quickly. It's a pity that the developers of this game are too unscrupulous, they even charge a platform management fee for trading items related to cultivation.
"The Wolf King's Token that we bought from the built-in player market that was worth ten million yuan has to be paid an additional twenty percent of the platform management fee, or else it won't come into effect. Now that we're collecting an entry fee of five hundred thousand, we have to pay at least a hundred thousand, or else the disciples won't be allowed to enter … It's the first time, but in the future, Father, do you think we should take advantage of the loopholes in this game? This game seems well made, but there are still many loopholes in it. Your age is one of them, it says that only those below fifty can cultivate … "
The old man shook his head, "That's not a problem, but we should be honest when it comes to earning money. I heard from a few old friends that this game is very complicated, the developer of this game is a new company that recruited top talents from all over the world, and they have the backing of the Truth Department. Don't even think about taking advantage of their loopholes to steal their money, they still have six powerhouses, and none of them are weaker than me … "
…
The next day, Fang Ning received a QQ message from President Zhao. After some thought, he put down the game and asked the System to change back to his real identity to attend the banquet. He couldn't always let the mechanical puppets replace him, could he?
However, he would have to beg the System to cook a meal for him again, and he might lose some of his privileges.
However, Fang Ning was touched by the fact that during the banquet, President Zhao did not mention anything at all, and Fang Ning only talked to him.
As the dishes were served, the entire table was soon filled with a dazzling array of dishes.
Fang Ning and President Zhao's family sat around the table to eat.
Fang Ning looked at the dishes on the table and was shocked, 'President Zhao is a real person, but this food is really good.'
Fang Ning said subconsciously, "I didn't expect uncle's cooking to be so good, I can't compare."
President Zhao was very satisfied, and gave his wife a provocative look.
He knew many people, and he could tell that Fang Ning was not lying, but sincere. After all, Fang Ning was an otaku, and he had not learned to hide his feelings.
What did this mean?
It could only mean that his future son-in-law was not only caring about his reputation, but his cooking skills were also similar to the cooking skills of his son-in-law.
Madam Zhao was confused. She looked at Fang Ning, and then sniffed the dishes. They looked good, but the smell was like heaven and earth compared to the ones she had eaten at Fang Ning's house.
She tried eating with her chopsticks, and as expected, it tasted like wax, but Fang Ning did not look like he was lying.
However, who was she? She was a heroine who could describe her snake demon as a dragon, beautified the Dragonization Ability into the Dragonization Ability, and even coaxed a business hero like President Zhao.
She said lightly, "This dish must have used fat. Xiao Fang, I just received the Bodhisattva's gift, and I need to eat vegetarian for a while to show my respect, so I won't need it. You and Yao Yao eat more. I still want to share the Bodhisattva's gift with you after dinner. "
Fang Ning was very touched that his future mother-in-law would think of him for such a good thing.
He said, "Thank you for your concern, I can't thank you enough."
"You're welcome, we're family," Madam Zhao pointed at the dishes and said, "Eat more, Xiao Fang."
Fang Ning had only eaten a little during the Demon Slayer Feast, and that was because he had to take care of his three subordinates.
To him, his taste could not be compared to Madam Zhao's, who was raised by the System's cooking skills.
Therefore, he immediately gobbled down the food, and thought it was delicious.
President Zhao saw this and was very proud. He gave his wife another provocative look, "You don't like it, but others won't."
"Yao Yao, you eat too," Madam Zhao saw that her daughter did not eat for a long time, and her eyes brightened, "Try and see if your father's cooking has improved."
Liu Yao looked at the dishes, sniffed them with her pretty nose, and said obediently, "Looks like they're all very delicious. But Dad, I've been practicing the ancient zither Ji Kang's version of Guangling San recently, so I need to abstain from eating meat and fish."
President Zhao was defeated, and his head drooped.
Fortunately, when he saw Fang Ning's table manners, he felt a little more comforted, 'My future son-in-law is a practical person, unlike this mother and daughter, whose appetites have been fed to the sky by my son-in-law's cooking.'
After the meal, President Zhao brought up a serious matter, and Fang Ning started to pay attention.
President Zhao said, "Recently, I've been discussing with your Uncle Liu. We're planning to use the Qi City Chamber of Commerce's name to purchase a plot of land near Qi City. We'll use it to plant some vitality crops. It's what we learned from the Truth Department's Special Training Academy. Xiao Fang, do you want to invest? "
Before Fang Ning could say anything, he realized that he could not control his body.
The System said, "I'll invest a billion."
President Zhao was shocked, "I heard that your restaurant is expanding in all the major cities in China, shouldn't your cash flow be tight?"
Fang Ning was stunned.
In the System Space.
Fang Ning said, "You idiot, once you heard that there's a source of good ingredients, you're asking for trouble! My real identity has only been around for a few months, how could I have a billion? "
The System said, "Go out and fool them …"
