The God of Plagues' expression was uncertain. There was no need to test it now.
He already knew where the Culinary God's soul was, but he was not happy at all.
This was the worst possible outcome. Snatching someone from Vigilante A's hands was harder than snatching a bone from a dog's mouth.
As for those unorthodox methods of blackmailing him, they could not be repeated. If they were used too many times, they would definitely be punished by the heavens.
This would explain the previous problem. Why he could not sense the Culinary God's soul, but the other party could suddenly sense his presence.
At this moment, Vigilante A had already looked at the shadow where he was residing.
"Found it." Sir System was excited at first, but then he said dejectedly, "I was wondering who it was. Turns out it's that chicken rib."
"Yeah, there's no experience points if you kill it, and it could easily bring about hidden dangers. If it binds the lives of everyone in the world, it'll be a big problem. It can definitely do it." Fang Ning had already seen the existence of the black figure through the System View.
"Hey, actually, it's still a little useful. I can borrow it to increase the rent." Sir System suddenly said.
"You, you, I'm too ashamed to say that. If you meet other friends in the System World in the future, don't say that you're binding it to me. I can't afford to embarrass myself … "Fang Ning shook his head and sighed.
"If you meet other friends in the System World in the future, don't say that you're binding it to me. I can't afford to embarrass myself …" Sir System retorted.
"…" Fang Ning was speechless.
Sure enough, the best System was binding the best Host.
Fang Ning could not be bothered to sit on the chair anymore. He moved and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Everyone was envious. They naturally knew that Vigilante A had a portable grotto-heaven. This person obviously had the authority to enter and exit it freely.
After entering the System Space, Fang Ning saw Sir System shamelessly showing the Culinary God an image of the outside world.
"Do you know who it is?" Sir System asked in a serious tone.
"Isn't this the God of Plagues who is feared by everyone, worried by ghosts, and hated by gods? Why is he here? "Black Pot was indeed surprised.
"Hmph, don't tell me he's interested in your Culinary God's inheritance?"
"…" Black Pot, of course, understood what the other party was interested in. He did not say a word, but he was secretly glad.
Sure enough, the Heavenly Axiom operated, and disaster and fortune were unpredictable. When he was first brought into this mysterious space by this mysterious existence, he was still a little nervous and thought that he might be dead.
Now, it seemed that he had escaped a calamity.
"That's why the rent for staying here has to be raised. After all, you're a soul that's being coveted by the gods. It'll take a lot of effort for me to protect you." Sir System took the opportunity to say.
Black pot was speechless. This mysterious being was indeed powerful, but it was different from the other mighty beings who stood high above the masses. It would kill people whenever it had the chance …
Yet, they were all reasonable excuses. However, didn't the other party have any dignity?
In the past, when he was still the God of Cookery, the mortals who offered tribute, no matter whether it was good or bad, as long as they worked hard to make it, he would give them some rewards. He could be considered a rare God of Generosity.
In comparison, this person was truly a god of stinginess.
However, it was not entirely correct to say that there were no good gods without good karma. After all, he did not fall into the hands of that God of Plagues.
People of the same trade are enemies. This saying applies everywhere.
He dared not imagine what would happen to him if he fell into the hands of the God of Plagues. The methods these evil gods used to torture people were beyond the limits of human imagination.
From this point of view, this mysterious existence was actually benevolent and kind …
After thinking for a while, Black Pot replied, "I have nothing now, and I can't just sit and eat. Why don't you give me a job to do?"
Fang Ning nodded. This was what a god should be, able to adapt to changing circumstances. He was definitely not like the mortal emperors who were unwilling to do things because of their pride.
"What else can you do besides cooking?" Sir System said gloomily.
"No, no, it's the opposite. I've never cooked, and I don't know how to cook …" Black pot suddenly said.
"What? You don't know how to cook, so how did you become so proficient in food? And you even came up with so many recipes? "Sir System was shocked.
"Because I became a god by tasting food. As long as I've tasted food, I can immediately deduce its cooking method … So, the truth of the God of Cookery's inheritance is the Upper Realm's Compendium of Culinary Arts." Black pot said faintly.
"Brilliant, truly brilliant." Fang Ning was sincerely impressed. To be able to become a god to this extent, he was truly free and unfettered.
"Then what exactly can you do?" Sir System asked.
"I can absorb the essence of food and use it in alchemy. To be precise, I can refine pills that can extend the lifespan of mortals." Black pot said proudly.
"Uh, you're a god, why do you need to refine pills for mortals?" Sir System asked curiously.
"Because the gods don't know how to cook for me. It's not easy to raise a good chef, and they don't have the time to cultivate either. I can't just let them die of old age right after they've been raised, right?" Black pot said righteously.
"That's a good and powerful reason." Sir System was very happy. "Just in time, I have an alchemy lab here. You can work for me and specialize in refining pills that can extend lifespan. Your rent will be deducted from your salary."
"Alright." Black pot agreed readily. Even a god under the eaves had to bow his head.
Fang Ning hurriedly reminded, "Sir System, those are all system buildings. Can they be used by external souls? Didn't you say that it's bound to me? "
"Then how many times have you used it?" Sir System said righteously. "It's mine, I can open it to whoever I want."
"That's impossible. I've always felt that you need my permission first." Fang Ning shook his head.
"… You, when did you find out?" Sir System turned pale with fright.
"I've known for a long time, but I was too lazy to say it." Fang Ning said proudly, "You said once a long time ago, 'Those system buildings can't be used by other souls, but as the host, you and I are one. If I can use them, you can use them too.' I guessed at that time that I must have some shares in them, and the right to speak."
"Then you'll definitely agree now." Sir System said without hesitation.
"I don't agree, unless you help me pass the rest." Fang Ning took the opportunity to say.
"Uh … You have the nerve to say that? I'm doing this for our benefit. As you said, other souls can't use them, but this black pot is different. It used to be a god, an existence that controls the Maxim. I'll modify it a little and it'll be able to use it. "Sir System said resentfully.
"Of course I have the nerve. Compared to you, I'm still far from it." Fang Ning gritted his teeth.
This was not very sincere, but there was no other way. If they lost the competition later, he would not be able to afford to lose face.
"I'll help you then. So you agree now?" Sir System gritted his teeth.
"Isn't that right? We're of the same body and mind, so we should be of one heart and one mind. Don't always fight against each other. Be a river crab, don't fight against each other. "Fang Ning said earnestly.
"You'll only be a river crab when it's beneficial to you; when it's disadvantageous, you'll fight against each other. I've seen through you a long time ago." Sir System said resentfully.
"…" Fang Ning was speechless. This was the truth.
System Notification: [The System consumed 30,000,000 Experience Points to modify the Alchemy Room and added a new type of alchemy furnace. It can now be used by the designated person.]
"Alright, I'll designate this person to black pot. I think we don't have to do anything else in the future with the Longevity Pill. With just this, we'll never have to worry about money. "Fang Ning was very impressed.
"What if humans rely on technology to achieve immortality? Wouldn't that be useless?" Sir System thought far ahead when it came to benefits.
"Hehe, that's impossible. If you don't believe me, you can ask black pot. He's a god, he'll know more inside stories." Fang Ning shook his head and sighed.
Sir System immediately asked.
"That's impossible. If this world of yours didn't have the consciousness of the Heavenly Axiom before, it might be possible. However, with the emergence of the consciousness of the Heavenly Axiom, all sentient beings have no hope of immortality. In other words, unless one surpasses it, it's impossible to achieve immortality. "Black pot insisted.
"Why is that?" Sir System asked curiously.
"Hehe, how can there still be motivation for improvement in the existence of immortality? The Upper Realm only produced a few saints, and it was enough to make the entire world stagnate. The Heavenly Axiom of this world will definitely learn from this lesson. We can achieve immortality, but not immortality. "Black pot said lightly.
"I see." Sir System suddenly understood.
