On this day, when Fang Ning was observing the current situation, and Sir System was controlling Vigilante A's body to continue farming monsters and maps, Zheng Dao's QQ message rang again.
Zheng Dao said, "Venerable One, the Truth Department is doing a year-end summary. They're sending out personnel to visit the partners who performed well. They're requesting to meet the Venerable Ones."
Fang Ning was about to reject the request. Sir System was so busy now, how would it have the time to talk to them?
However, Fang Ning agreed after some thought. There was no other reason. The prisoners in the Draconic Penitentiary would need to change their skin before they could join the Battle of the Beasts to farm gold. There would definitely be a lot of trouble for the Truth Department.
Two days later, Vigilante A returned to the farm villa in Qi City. In the simple living room, he received two personnel from the Truth Department.
It was a man and a woman. The woman looked decent, but not beautiful. She was in her twenties, and looked young. The man was in his forties, and looked calm and honest.
After Zheng Dao served them some good Longjing tea, she stood at the side and waited for orders.
Fang Ning invited them for tea, but they declined. After a few sips, they explained their purpose.
The middle-aged man said, "Venerable Dragon God, we're from the Truth Department's Public Relations Team. I'm Xie Dong, and she's Liu Qing. We're here to thank you for your contributions to the stability of society in the past year. This is a consolation money. It's not much, but it's a token of our appreciation."
Xie Dong placed a red envelope on the coffee table. As soon as it was on the table, it flew towards Vigilante A with a whoosh.
Liu Qing was reminded of something. Her colleague said that they could not bring any other consolation gifts to the Venerable Dragon God, but it was better to bring money. That way, it would be more convenient to talk.
Fang Ning said, "You're too kind. Have some more tea. If there's nothing else, I'm going to cultivate in isolation. I'll let Butler Zheng keep you company. "
Xie Dong then signaled Liu Qing with his eyes. Liu Qing quickly said, "Venerable One, you're so hardworking. We wanted to ask if the Venerable One has any new goals?"
Fang Ning's heart skipped a beat. What did they mean?
He immediately said to the System, "Go out and talk. Just say that your goal for the coming year is to cultivate and serve justice."
The System seized Vigilante A's body again, "There's no new goal. In my dictionary, there's only four words, 'cultivating and eliminating evil'."
Xie Dong gave Liu Qing another look, and the other hurriedly said, "The Venerable One's ambition is pure, and we admire it very much, so we won't delay the Venerable One's cultivation time any longer. It's good enough that Mr. Zheng is accompanying us."
Vigilante A naturally did not stand on ceremony. He immediately left the living room, leaving Butler Zheng to chat with the two of them.
After they left, the System asked, "Why did you waste so much time asking me to answer this question?"
"It's nothing. I just feel that you're sincere and trustworthy. You can make these guys feel at ease."
The System replied, "Of course. Unlike you, I've always been an honest System."
After chatting with Butler Zheng for a while, Xie Dong and Liu Qing walked out of Vigilante A's farm villa and got into a black car. After driving for a distance, they used the car's equipment to secretly report to their superiors.
"Vigilante A's ambition has not changed. His goal for the coming year will still be to practice martial arts and serve justice. Through my special ability's appraisal, this person's words are completely true. The potential threat level is not recommended to change …"
…
A day later, in the Mount Indigo Monastery in the north, the man and woman continued to visit Monastery Master Ma Futian.
Monastery Master Ma said, "Haha, next year, Mount Indigo Monastery will open its doors to select outstanding disciples from all over China. Of course, we still need the Truth Department to make an exception … "
Xie Dong came out to report, "Mount Indigo Monastery's ambition has increased. Through appraisal, some of the words are true, and some are hidden. The potential threat level is recommended to be increased …"
After that, the two of them went to the Association of Spirit Kings in the south, but they did not see the leader, Bodhisattva Spirit King. They only saw the Vice Leader, Gui Da.
Gui Da said, "The Association of Spirit Kings has always been responsible for the safety of the people. There won't be any big movements next year."
Xie Dong came out to report, "The Association of Spirit Kings will definitely make a big move next year. High vigilance is recommended."
The two of them went to each of their collaborators. They were not overly courteous, and they did not say much. They went straight to the point and asked, "What's the new goal for next year?"
Naturally, those old foxes wouldn't take his answer seriously. They just casually replied with a "haha".
Xie Dong did not think much of it. He was just trying to get information out of them, and then determine the content of the report based on the truth of their words.
Two weeks had passed by the time they finished their round. The two of them had already visited dozens of cultivator forces among the people in China and reported the results of their search to their superiors.
The leader of the Think Tank Group, Ren Ruofeng, saw the report and said lightly, "Looks like after half a year of dormancy, many of them have grown a lot in strength. They're already having second thoughts. It's time to get that thing out as soon as possible, so that they have a place to use their energy and prevent outsiders from taking advantage of them."
Not long after he said this, a storm broke out.
…
After the two of them left, Vigilante A did not continue to explore the map. Instead, he cultivated at home, converting the experience points he earned into combat power.
On this day, another uninvited guest came to his house.
This person was a dignified old man dressed in a traditional Chinese robe. Although he was old, his gaze was still sharp.
After seeing this person, Fang Ning almost thought that this person came from ancient times. When the other party spoke, he felt that his intuition was right.
"I'm Huang Rui, I came in a hurry and came uninvited. I hope you can forgive me." The person went straight to the point, bowing and apologizing.
Fang Ning knew that the end of the year was approaching, and there must be a lot of chores, so he waited patiently. After Butler Zheng served tea to the two of them, he still stood at the side.
Fang Ning raised his hand slightly, "May I know why you're here, sir?"
Huang Rui said, "You're a hero, and you're respected by everyone. However, do you know Han Xin and Li Shan Chang? "
Fang Ning was drinking tea, and he almost spat it out when he heard this, 'This person really came from ancient times, but I wonder if he's from the Three Kingdoms, or the Spring and Autumn Warring States period?' He was most familiar with those two historical periods, and knew that there were many talents during that time.
Thus, he put on airs and said seriously, "I've heard a little about them. May I know why you mentioned these two sages, sir?"
Huang Rui's face was serious, "You're in danger, but you don't know? Although I'm just a commoner, I know kindness. I can't bear to see you suffer the misfortune of your predecessors, so I came to warn you. "
Fang Ning pretended to be confused, "I've saved too many people, but I still don't know who you are, sir?"
Huang Rui said, "I have quite a few assets in Ji City, and they were once coveted by a sneaky person. Fortunately, when you were a hero, you killed that person, and the danger was averted. I've always thought about repaying you, but unfortunately, I only have some ordinary property, and I don't think you'd care about it. I've thought about it for a long time, but there's nothing I can repay you with, so I've been feeling uneasy. "
Fang Ning thought, 'No, there's a fellow that I really care about. Fortunately, it's busy, so I don't have to worry about it coming out and asking for it openly, and ruining my style of learning from the ancient people.'
Huang Rui continued, "Fortunately, I've been reading history books, and I'm quite knowledgeable, so I've been paying extra attention to your behavior recently. Only then did I discover a big hidden danger, and if this goes on, you'll be in big trouble in the future, so I came to warn you. "
Fang Ning said, "What kind of trouble? I hope you can tell me, sir. "
Huang Rui said with a straight face, "Of course it's to keep the bow after the birds are gone, and to cook the dogs after the hares are dead. The current situation is not clear, and I still need you to help, so no one will mind. However, when you're a hero, you've killed villains multiple times, and that's an action that's beyond your authority. I'm afraid that when the situation calms down, there will be villains causing trouble, and they'll make things difficult for you. "
Fang Ning heard this, and called the System out again, replying according to what it said last time.
The System said, "I only know how to 'cultivate and get rid of evil', and I've always had a clear conscience, so there's no need for you to worry."
Huang Rui looked extremely disappointed, and immediately said, "Sigh, since you didn't listen to me, I hope you won't regret it in the future …"
After that, he turned around and left.
The System said, "Wait."
Huang Rui's face lit up, and he immediately turned around, "Do you want to hear how I can solve the big trouble?"
The System said, "You don't have to worry about that. I heard you say something like 'I'll always feel uneasy if I don't repay you'. If you want to feel at ease, it's very simple, just donate a sum of money to me."
Huang Rui was speechless, and after a long while, he said, "If that's the case, I'll donate half of my assets to you to show my gratitude."
The System said, "Hmm, you're not bad. If there's any sneaky things that try to disturb you in the future, you can directly contact Butler Zheng."
Huang Rui pretended to be happy, "Thank you for your kindness, I'll take my leave now."
After that, he hurriedly left, afraid that Vigilante A would call for him again, and the remaining half of his assets would be targeted.
Fang Ning was speechless, and said to the System, "I only allowed you to say one sentence, why did you say the rest?"
The System said, "I heard that someone wanted to give me money, so of course I had to continue. You can't bring yourself to ask for it, but I can't let my money fly away … Vigilante A isn't the Host's real identity, so don't be embarrassed. If there's money, you have to take it. All of your plans are brilliant, but which one of them doesn't require a large investment?"
Fang Ning said, "It's not easy for me to imitate an ancient scholar, and I wanted to show off, but this time it's all ruined by you."
The System said, "Then don't show off so much next time, I almost lost all my money …"
…
After Huang Rui left Vigilante A's farm villa, he also got into a car and drove away.
After driving for a long time, he made an overseas call and said respectfully, "Sir Tom, Vigilante A has no great ambitions, he only wants to cultivate and get rid of evil. No wonder the people from the Truth Department are so confident in him, the President wants to nurture him into a new hero and fight against the Truth Department, but it seems impossible. "
Tom the black cat said, "If that's the case, then he has no strategic value. After that, think of a way to kill him and avenge Anderson and the others. Maggie and Anderson have a personal grudge, so they don't want to interfere, but I, Tom, can't let the brothers in the Association down. "
Huang Rui said, "Sir is wise, I will think of a perfect plan, but there's a small problem now."
Tom the black cat asked, "What is it?"
Huang Rui quickly told him about how he shot himself in the foot, and how he said he would give Vigilante A half of his assets.
Those assets belonged to the Association, and he could not use them as he pleased. Without Sir Tom the black cat's permission, he had no right to use them.
Tom the black cat said, "Idiot, how could you make such a mistake? Don't you know that Vigilante A is greedy for money?"
Huang Rui looked terrified, "I'm sorry, Sir, I thought he would be moved by my words, is he really an idiot? Everyone knows that the Truth Department won't let people like them cultivate endlessly. "
