The grey sparrow turned its head and saw an extraordinarily handsome face appearing not far away.
In its memory, this person's appearance was number one according to the evaluation standards of those humans.
He was extremely fair, had regular facial features, straight eyebrows … It could not think of any other adjectives to describe him. In short, he was good-looking, so he was probably not a bad person.
Therefore, it did not fly away at all. Instead, it flew straight towards that person.
If it was a good person and an adult, it meant that it was likely that the person would feed it. If it was a good-looking child, then it would not do. It should stay away … This was its experience of surviving among humans.
Fang Ning was puzzled. He had casually said something, but this sparrow seemed to understand him. Not only was it not afraid, it flew towards him.
It was really a bold sparrow. Did they not say that sparrows were naturally timid? It seemed that this one was indeed different. It was very likely that it was also a spirit.
Before he could figure it out, he saw the sparrow fly in front of him and start chirping.
"Chirp chirp chirp, zha zha zha, chirp chirp chirp …"
Fang Ning was speechless. He quickly asked for help, "Sir, can you translate it?"
"Oh, it's saying that it only has legs and no hands, so it can't plant fruits. It can only rely on stealing ready-made fruits to sustain its life. It wants us to pity it and give it something to eat …" Sir System actually translated it for real.
"Uh, you can actually understand its words? It's not Morse code again, is it? "Fang Ning was surprised.
"It's not Morse code. I don't understand it either, but I can learn from you." Sir said confidently.
"Learn from me what?" Fang Ning was very puzzled.
"Shift the blame. The sinners in the Draconic Penitentiary have all kinds of talents and abilities. I asked Anderson to find someone who can speak bird language, and there really is one … "Sir said proudly.
"You've really become smarter." Fang Ning heard this and immediately felt a lot of pressure.
His greatest ability had been learned by Sir. Was he really going to … Be idle every day in the future?
Fang Ning let go of this worry and immediately turned to the sparrow and said kindly, "A wise man once said that everyone is born to be useful. You don't have to belittle yourself. Although you don't have hands and can't farm, you can still work in exchange for food. "
Hearing this, the big grey sparrow rolled its eyes and revealed a puzzled expression. Then, it called out again, "Ji ji zha, ji zha zha, ji ji zha zha …"
"It's saying, what kind of fruit is' labor '?" Sir System took the initiative to translate.
Fang Ning was not surprised. In the minds of these living beings who had just gained sentience, the concept of "labor" did not exist. This was once exclusive to humans.
However, this gray sparrow was indeed intelligent. It could not speak the human language, but it could understand human language. It was definitely not wild. It should have lived in a human settlement.
Fang Ning said with a straight face, "Labor is not a fruit, but labor can bring fruits. For example, although you're a bird with only feet and no hands, you have a mouth … "
He couldn't be bothered to listen to Sparrow's weird reply, so he went straight to the point.
"Just like your species, the woodpeckers, they use their beaks to catch insects in exchange for food. On one hand, they help the trees deal with pests and diseases, and on the other hand, they get food for themselves. This is what 'labor' is. Only labor can bring about a win-win situation. "Fang Ning said seriously.
When the gray sparrow heard this, it immediately flew up and down excitedly. "Ji ji zha, ji zha zha, ji ji zha zha …" It kept calling out.
"What is it saying now?" Fang Ning felt helpless. He really could not understand this real "bird language".
"It's saying, if that's the case, we've also worked. Although we stole and ate the medicinal seeds, we often catch insects for those medicinal herbs … Especially me, I'm the best at catching insects. No matter how well-hidden the insects are, I can still find them. It's just that my beak isn't long enough, if the insects crawl into the medicinal herbs, I can't get them out. So, hurry up and get those people down there to remove those annoying sheds and nets. We need to work in exchange for fruits … "
Good at catching insects? Fang Ning did not pay attention to the last part of the big grey sparrow's words. Instead, a bolt of lightning flashed across his mind.
Everything in the world reinforced and restrained each other.
He stared at this ordinary-looking but extremely fat big grey sparrow and immediately had an idea.
He slowly said to Sir System, "I have a hunch that the key to dealing with that hateful Brain-Devouring Parasite is …"
"It's on this fat sparrow?" Sir System hurriedly followed up.
"It's not that simple!" Fang Ning was speechless. "It's on the woodpecker that I mentioned just now. Actually, Chong Daqing is the parasite's nemesis, but it used to be a human after all, so it won't eat those dirty things that have crawled into human brains. That's why the parasite has a chance to survive and continue its evil deeds. We need to find a woodpecker demon with strong talents to restrain this Brain-Devouring Parasite. "
"Oh, I see. What should we do? I don't know any woodpeckers. I can see their existence on the System Map, but I can't tell which one has talents. "
"You don't know them, but someone else will." Fang Ning faked it lightly.
"Can you be clearer? It's just the two of us talking, do you still have to pretend? "Sir System was very dissatisfied.
"I have to pretend. If I don't, how can I let you know who's the boss? Authority needs to be established at all times. "Fang Ning said confidently.
"…" Sir System was speechless.
However, before looking for that person, he had to take care of this small matter in front of him. Sir System would not leave its business alone.
Fang Ning immediately brought the big grey sparrow to the Mountain Rat King.
"Greetings, Master." The grey mountain rat smartly cupped its hands and bowed.
Fang Ning nodded, indicating that there was no need for formalities.
This scene made the grey sparrow very envious. It raised its wings to take a look and was instantly dissatisfied. The other person had hands, stealing and eating would definitely be more convenient than using wings …
"Yes, this is the leader of that group of sparrows. I've made a deal with it, they won't eat medicine seeds randomly in the future. They'll help catch insects and take care of the herbs. When the herbs are harvested, they'll be given some fruits of their labor. "Fang Ning instructed.
"I understand, Master." The Mountain Rat King glanced at the big grey sparrow and noticed that their skin color was very similar. In this case, if they were to transform in the future, they would all be demons of the same species …
At that moment, it no longer repulsed the grey sparrow that had troubled its family for many days. Instead, it looked at it with a friendly gaze.
After solving this interlude, Fang Ning sent Sir System somewhere else.
…
Underground Greater Rat Kingdom.
There was an uninvited guest in Bai Shixin's office today.
This caused his heart to involuntarily tighten, but he wasn't too afraid.
This was because he had already found someone to rely on. Otherwise, he could only escape at the sight of the wind. Whether he could succeed or not was another matter.
"Ah, it's the Venerable Dragon God. Long time no see. How are you?" He straightened up from the thick pile of documents and greeted him cheerfully. It was as if he had met an old friend that he had not seen for many years, and not a former assassination target.
"Everything's fine. I'm here today in hopes that the Demon Alliance can help me find someone. Of course, I won't ask for your help for free. "Fang Ning said lightly.
"Venerable One, what are you saying? You've always prioritized righteousness. If you're looking for someone, you must be looking for him to eradicate evil. How can we ask you for a reward? "
"That's great." Sir System suddenly seized control of the body and directly said, "I need a woodpecker demon that's very good at catching insects. Hurry up and help me find it."
"Yes, that's easy."
Fang Ning did not find the wrong person. Bai Shixin did not feel the slightest bit troubled and immediately agreed.
Counting and registering all the demons in the world was a task that had been carried out since the Demon Alliance was established.
The evolution of the bird's brain was roughly on par with that of a mammal. Although it was far from being on par with the nature-defying existence like humans, the possibility of turning into a demon was still enough to crush most ordinary creatures.
Therefore, among the thousands of demons, there were many bird shapeshifters. For example, the group of eagles was the leader of all birds …
As he thought about this, Bai Shixin had an idea.
If the other party wanted to find a woodpecker demon, the best choice was not him, but the Divine Eagle Clan.
That Sky Eagle, the disciple of the River God of the Sky River, was it not the Venerable Dragon God's loyal subordinate?
It seemed that this person came today on purpose.
He was here to warn him that he must serve him carefully. Otherwise, he would follow in Zheng Tu's footsteps. That would be bad luck.
The throne that he had painstakingly won would have to be given away.
This was the world of cultivation. It did not matter if you were a king or an emperor, if you did not serve a peerless powerhouse well, you would be forced to step down anytime.
Of course, there were pros and cons. If he served a peerless powerhouse well, even if the dynasty encountered a disaster, he could easily find someone to solve it.
As Bai Shixin thought about this, he immediately dialed the internal line and began to make arrangements.
Vigilante A nodded and did not leave. He sat on the sofa next to him.
"This is an emergency. I'll wait for you here." The System did not know the meaning of courtesy. After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and channeled.
Seeing this, Bai Shixin did not dare to be negligent. The image of Commander Lu seemed to appear in front of him.
He immediately ordered his subordinates to quickly send the relevant information to him, and it must be accurate.
"Hey, this guy is really smart. If he dares to refuse, I plan to ask you to find a chance to teach him a lesson. You know, he used to ambush us. Although he's better now and can't farm directly, you can cheat, Mr. Rich Boss. "The System's tone was complicated. There was a hint of regret in his satisfaction.
After all, he was not the one who suffered losses at that time, so he would not hold a grudge.
The reason he thought of looking for Bai Shixin was purely because the System came here with the little gray ant to steal the rare book …
No, when he came to pick up the rare book, he met the other person who was ascending to the throne.
A king could naturally mobilize a lot of resources. Moreover, he was the head of the Demon Alliance.
If he wanted to find a bird demon, who else could he look for but him?
Therefore, he did not have the intention to look for trouble, but the System did.
