Fang Ning was in the midst of the crowd, calling out to his friends. Sir System was secretly lamenting his injustice.
"Mr. Rich Boss, you're pushing the good stuff away again. I'll remember this and deduct it from your future treasury."
"You're really forgetting morality at the sight of profit. Can you accept these things? Favors are the hardest to repay. Who knows if they'll turn bad tomorrow? If I accept their gifts, will it affect my chivalrous nature? "Fang Ning said righteously.
"Uh, I always feel that you just can't bring yourself to do it. I'll just seize you, I don't care. You've said it before, my face is long gone, "Sir System said in disbelief.
Fang Ning panicked. If he accepted the gift in front of so many people, how was he going to pretend in the future?
He hurriedly bluffed, "Look at you, you're so short-sighted. You'll only benefit from the gift for a while, but you'll lose the hard-earned reputation of Vigilante A. I've said it before, a good reputation will earn you more. "
"Is that so? However, they seem to know that Vigilante A is very greedy for money, and I haven't lost a single hair. Those who want to give me gifts are still rushing to give me gifts … "Sir System was no longer that easy to fool.
It was stupid, but it had a good memory. After accumulating experience, it would never forget.
"In short, you can't just accept gifts from anyone, understand?" Fang Ning said through gritted teeth.
"I don't know. In any case, I can see it. As long as I'm strong enough, I can absorb it. If they do bad things, I'll get rid of them. It's better that way, we don't have to work hard for them anymore. "Sir System said righteously.
Fang Ning finally realized the real difference between him and Sir System — he still cared about his reputation.
After all, he was human and had spiritual needs.
However, Sir System was different. Sir System's requirement was safety first and power first.
What face, what self-satisfaction, what recognition from others, what sense of glory? To Sir System, these were all nonsense.
Just as Fang Ning had said before, if it were not for the System's Chivalry Rules, with Sir System's temperament, it would have degenerated into an evil god at any moment.
Fang Ning had no choice but to concede, "I'm the one attending the meeting today, I'm in charge. I'm too lazy to care about you in the future. If you want to accept it, then accept it. Anyway, I won't accept it when I'm in charge. "
"That works too." Sir System was satisfied that it had achieved part of its goal.
Fang Ning was now very depressed that he could not fool Sir System.
After all, it was a system that was almost two years old, and had already seen through some of the rules of human society.
What was the point of being thick-skinned? There were simply too many things that could change one's mind. As long as you were strong enough, you would be the key to the overall situation. Others could only accommodate and compromise with you.
As long as a powerhouse's flaws didn't cross the bottom line, they would be beautified into their personality.
He could only comfort himself that the System was still bound by the Chivalrous Rules. No matter how much trouble it caused, it was still a righteous hero and not a villain.
After all, there was no perfect person in the world.
Fang Ning stopped pestering Sir System and continued to enjoy the compliments from the crowd.
"Venerable One, you're finally here." Not long after, a friendly voice came from afar.
Everyone looked up and saw a middle-aged man with a majestic gait and a smile on his face as he strode toward them with large strides.
He was followed by a group of people. Almost half of them were powerful people, all of them above Pond-level.
From this, it could be seen how powerful this person was. He must be rich and overbearing. The annual expenses of a Pond-level master was incomparably huge.
This person was the head of Cloud Fog City, Yun Hui. It was said that this person was busy with mundane affairs, so his cultivation base had been stagnant. He was still at the early stage of Pond-level.
Many of his subordinates had long surpassed his abilities, but none of them dared to be presumptuous towards him, let alone yell at him or covet his great fortune.
Other major forces were different. After some powerhouses were taken in as subordinates, the masters had to serve them carefully and willingly even though they were ordered around every day.
The relationship between the two did not seem like that of an employer and a worker, but more like that of a debtor and a creditor.
The reason behind this was clear to everyone. The Venerable Dragon God was Yun Hui's backer, so who would dare to be presumptuous?
If they dared to be presumptuous, it would be a trip to the Draconic Penitentiary.
Now that it was the third year of Shenyuan, the name of the Draconic Penitentiary had spread far and wide along with the disappearing sins.
Everyone knew that of those who went in, other than the young lady of the Azure Mountain who had her soul bought with a large sum of money, no one else had managed to escape.
With the backing of a mysterious major force like the Azure Mountain, unless someone thought they could defeat them, who would not fear the reputation of the Draconic Penitentiary?
Sometimes, many desperadoes weren't afraid of a clean death.
If they had to go to hell after death and never have a day of peace, it would be a great fear, and they would have to think twice before doing anything bad.
This was different from the previous era of technology. Back then, evildoers did not have to worry about retribution. As long as they could escape the official authorities' pursuit and punishment, they could live freely.
Seeing Yun Hui's arrival, everyone was envious. Relying on Vigilante A's reputation, the Cloud Fog City expanded extremely quickly, and no one dared to provoke them.
Fortunately, the other party relied on capital and business rules to expand reasonably. They did not bully the weak or dominate the market, so they were considered lucky.
Many major forces also wanted to rely on Vigilante A, but they did not know that Yun Hui's surrender was a matter of survival. A city's forces had to become an ally in order to succeed.
The other forces had their own plans and were secretive, so how could they become allies?
Even someone as greedy as Sir System would not dare to accept these forces as disciples. That was completely different from accepting gifts. They were your people, borrowing your name. If they committed a crime, you would have to bear the consequences on the spot.
"Oh, Duke Yun personally came to welcome us."
"Sigh, people are really different. There are so many of us here, but he didn't even come out to welcome us. The Venerable One arrived, and in less than two minutes, he came out to welcome us …" Someone was indignant.
"Who asked us to not have a high cultivation base and a weak background? If powerhouses like Bodhisattva Spirit King or Tianjing Fawang came, he would definitely come out to welcome them. "Someone explained.
Old Master Ma, who was standing at the side, heard this, and his face immediately turned ugly.
This clearly meant that he was still not a true expert. At the very least, he could not be mentioned in the same breath as these two.
Although everyone said that they were the four powerhouses of China, they still had a scale in their hearts.
Old Master Ma's foundation was shallow, and he could be a hero among local cultivators, but in front of the True Dragon, Bodhisattva, and Arhat, he was still not enough.
Lake-level was very powerful in the eyes of Earthlings.
However, in the Upper Realm, the overlord of a small place had to be at least Lake-level. A carp guarding the door of the True Dragon Clan Leader's house had this cultivation base.
As for the Bodhisattva, True Dragon, and Arhat, who had achieved enlightenment, one could imagine how powerful they were.
Currently, the Earth's Heavenly Axiom was still in control, releasing the upper limit of power bit by bit, limiting the strength of the Descended Ones from the Upper Realm.
If it was completely released in the future, no one would be qualified to visit them.
"See, this is the difference. If I don't come out and only look at the sky from the bottom of a well, I'm afraid that breaking through to Lake-level is enough. In fact, it's far from enough. Look, everyone knows what they're talking about. First, second, and third-rate experts. Even I, your father, am just a third-rate expert. They may be complimenting me, but deep down, they all know that the real experts are the mighty beings of the Upper Realm like the Dragon God, Bodhisattva, and Arhat. "
Obviously, he was provoking his son. He was not young anymore, and he knew how high his upper limit was. Breaking through to Lake-level was already a breeze given by the Heavenly Axiom.
