Not long after, Sir System quickly understood, 'This extremely lazy Host did not even bother to think. He used the two rat demons' corpses as bait and pushed the responsibility of solving the problem to someone else. When the scapegoat saw the picture of the giant rats, he was so happy that the System found it unbelievable.
The scapegoat said that they would soon come up with a plan and promised that once the plan was implemented, the incident where the underground communication pipes were destroyed by the underground monsters would not happen again in Qi City.
Fang Ning did not believe him completely, of course. He suggested that he would only pay the deposit after he saw the plan and confirmed its feasibility. After the scapegoat completed the plan and there were no problems within three years, he would pay the other half. That was why he asked for the two giant rats.
As for using half of the carcasses as a deposit, it would be less attractive and might not solve the problem perfectly. Fang Ning did not need the giant rats' carcasses anyway, so he would not be stingy and affect his internet career.
Vigilante A's credibility was high enough, so the scapegoat quickly agreed.
The System asked, "That's it?"
Fang Ning said, "It's done. I'm not a superhuman, so I had to find a professional. "
The System said, "I don't think I have to do anything?"
Fang Ning said, "Why not? You'll have to be the supervisor and check the work. If they lie to me, you'll have to beat them up for me … "
This was why Fang Ning was not worried that the scapegoat would blacklist him after taking the deposit. Anyone would have to think twice before offending a man who could summon the Dragon God …
After a while, the System said, "I feel like something's wrong. Why do I feel like I'm losing something? Although I don't understand it, I feel like I've lost two spoils of war for nothing. Although I said it's a reward and you're using them to solve your internet problem, it still doesn't feel right. "
Fang Ning rolled his eyes and immediately admired Sir System's calculative attitude, "Not bad, I didn't even say anything and you already felt it. Don't worry, we won't lose anything. Those who benefit from this, we'll definitely get something back from them. "
The System said, "Okay, if they don't give it to me, I'll help them for free. It won't count as a mission reward …"
After settling this important matter, Fang Ning was in a good mood. Looking at the time, it was almost midnight. In the past, he would have fallen asleep by now. Fortunately, after cultivating the Dragon Transformation Art, his mental strength had increased greatly. Even his need for sleep had decreased by a lot. In this way, although it was back to the days when he had to clock in at work and could only play at home after work, there was still a lot more time to play now.
Therefore, Fang Ning hurriedly returned to the System Cyber Cafe and started playing. He hurriedly downloaded a few completed novels, as well as the latest standalone masterpieces, in case he suddenly disconnected from the Internet one day …
When he was playing alone, Fang Ning thought that the System would seize the time to farm experience points again. However, when he glanced at the system notification, he realized that it was not the case.
System Notification: [The System is evaluating …]
[The System is evaluating …]
[The System decided to go for supper.]
Fang Ning rolled his eyes. 'Sir System, you've learned to slack off too.'
However, he quickly realized that the System must have overworked itself after farming three big monsters in a row. It needed to replenish its energy, so it didn't even want to waste time cooking.
Vigilante A sprinted to the old "Fang's Delicious" restaurant. Although it was late at night, the place was still bustling with people, and the customers were all in good order. A few days ago, under the management of Manager Zhao Ying, the restaurant was changed to a 24-hour business, and the store was greatly expanded.
Seeing her male idol, Zhao Ying, who had been leaving work late for the past few days, hurried to greet him. It couldn't be helped, her male idol was one thing, but the 380,000 credit card bill from last time was about to be due. Although her salary had been raised a few times, it was impossible for it to be too high. After all, the restaurant had only been open for three months. Even if it was paid in installments, it would still be a lot of pressure.
Vigilante A saw Zhao Ying at first glance. The System was indeed the System, it would never forget anything related to someone.
Before they fought the spider, it and Fang Ning were in a hurry and did not pay for the bill. Fang Ning was a shut-in, so naturally, he would not take it to heart. It was not like he was the one who ate the meal, so he had long forgotten about it.
Vigilante A stepped forward and said, "Oh, I was busy last time and forgot to pay for the bill. Count it in this time."
Zhao Ying did not even know why she said, "It's okay, I've already paid for you."
Vigilante A cupped his hands, "Then I thank you. This is a place with simple and honest people after all. Although I've done something for you, I've never thought of asking for something in return. I'm surprised you still remember it."
'What? I don't understand. Doesn't my male idol know that I'm just being polite? You should say something along the lines of "How can I accept it", thank me, give me a gift, and pay the bill? '
The dumbfounded Manager Zhao Ying repeatedly confirmed that her male idol's expression was serious, and that he was not joking with her. She immediately groaned in her heart.
Fang Ning, who was playing games in the System Cyber Cafe, heard their conversation and immediately spat out blood, 'Zhao Ying, you don't even know the System's personality. It's a thrifty person.' Furthermore, what you did just now did not go against Sir System's chivalrous nature. That was because it had saved your life when it destroyed the giant spider that was wreaking havoc in the city. From its point of view, there was nothing against chivalrous about you paying the bill for him.
However, Fang Ning was still soft-hearted. After all, Zhao Ying did not even know that she was saved.
He knew how much the System could eat, and the price of that single meal was equivalent to Zhao Ying's annual salary. After all, he was the owner of the shop, and he knew how much he was paying her.
He quickly asked the System to stop seizing her and said, "Oh, I was just joking. With my identity, why would I let a woman pay for me? I'll pay for it later."
This time, Zhao Ying did not dare to lose her mind and say something like "no need". She quickly welcomed Vigilante A with a smile and prepared a private room for him.
The System did not mind Fang Ning's small amount of money. After all, Fang Ning's status was getting higher and higher, especially in the previous battle. If it was not for Fang Ning's sudden inspiration, the precious jade pendant that was supposed to drop from the monster would have been lost for nothing. That was a treasure that could not be bought with money at this time.
… …
As Vigilante A gobbled down the food, within the jurisdiction of Qi City, teams of well-trained soldiers were working in shifts throughout the night, inspecting the mutated giant rats one by one.
They had specially modified life detection devices in their hands, which could detect the presence of giant rats within ten meters of the ground. This was an unimaginable technology in the past.
Mo Xing stood in the Special Affairs Department's Information Command Center, watching the scene through the screen in silence. Beside him stood a few leaders of Qi City's relevant organizations, all of them with heavy expressions.
As more and more giant rats were marked in bright red, a detailed electronic map representing the jurisdiction of Qi City was gradually dyed red.
Everyone's mood became heavier and heavier.
Finally, one of the leaders could not help but ask, "Why are there so many of them? What do they eat to survive? I've never heard of such a large amount of food being stolen. "
Mo Xing said calmly, "The giant rats can eat anything. Their diet is wider than their own, and their digestive system is stronger. The sewers have long been dug by them, and there's a large amount of swill and food residue in them from restaurants all over the country. There are tunnels leading to the underground at the major garbage dumps, the garbage spots in the residential areas, and even the dumpsters on the roads. Large amounts of organic waste are stolen every day.
There are a total of eight million people in our city, and the amount of food we don't waste every day is enough to feed a city of two million people. Feeding eight million giant rats wouldn't be a problem. In a sense, they're the best garbage cleaners. "
Hearing this number, the local leaders all paled. They knew very well that if an accident were to happen one day, the eight million giant rats would not be able to be stopped by the eight million people. Unless the entire population was a soldier, but what about production? What about the economy?
Someone asked, "Then how should we deal with them? We've asked the higher-ups, and they said that many other cities have experienced a disaster with giant rats, and we can only rely on the local Special Affairs Department and local organizations to control it. The higher-ups have not come up with a good solution, so they can only temporarily order the local garrisons to provide full support. The only good news we've heard is that there are very few of them in the vast rural areas, so it's not enough to affect the important agricultural production. "
Mo Xing said coldly, "That's not good news. This means that they're almost as smart as humans. Why do they only appear in the city's underground? It's simple, that way, they can be tied to us humans. Who would dare to use many effective military methods? Whether it's chemical weapons or biological diseases, who would dare to bear the risk of spreading them to countless citizens? As for why they don't affect agricultural production, that's even more terrifying. "
Mo Xing didn't want to talk about it anymore, so he gestured to Deputy Director Liu of the Special Affairs Department to answer.
Deputy Director Liu said, "This should be because they have the idea of sustainable development. Since they want to expand their population, they can't do without sufficient food supply. On this planet, at this stage, the only ones who can continue to provide the largest amount of food are us humans. However, many cities are wasteful. Even if it's not wasteful, there's still a lot of food residue that we can't digest, but it's their food."
One of the leaders said, "No wonder there's so little news of giant rats attacking humans. They still need us to provide them with food. This is a blessing in disguise. "
