Alright, now we’re done discussing the big things. Time to move onto setting up our future strategic plans.
Fang Ning collected his thoughts before saying seriously.
In the past, he never would have imagined that he would be competing with people that were so much better than he was. Some of them were so good, they had even reached the sky. However, ever since he was seized by Sir System, he has gained all these advantages that even those mighty beings could not compare to. Right now, he could even compete with them on equal grounds.
The thrill that he felt was similar to when he fought the Big Boss Zombie in Dead Rivals…

What are your plans?
The System had witnessed Fang Ning’s prowess before, so it immediately became honest.
Besides, it would have never realized the horrible truth of the Heavenly Axiom through a few clues.


Maybe there were a few people that possessed the ability to discover this, Ren Ruofeng was one good example, but all these people lacked the conditions that Fang Ning had.

My plan, to put it simply, is to use the wishing lamp as a lever and the malicious spirits as the center to set off the entire universe…
proclaimed Fang Ning proudly.

Ugh, I don’t understand. Could you put it in layman’s terms?
asked the System humbly, no longer as arrogant as before.
Obviously, it could not adapt quickly to the dawn of the new situation, which meant that it had no choice but to resort to asking Fang Ning for help again, causing it to feel guilty and dejected.

It’s simple, really. The wishing lamp is able to quickly improve one’s strength, so it’s the best method to train malicious spirits. Furthermore, farming malicious spirits is the fastest way for you to accumulate experience points. When we did this previously, it was only to convert the looting method into the farming method, thus allowing us the most efficient way to harvest experience points. The amount of experience points decides the speed at which your strength grows, the limit of your power, and your adaptability,
explained Fang Ning straightforwardly.

Ugh, why didn’t you say so in the beginning? I thought it would be some mysterious trick. But, the wishing lamp was only used by Yellow Dog before, and never by any malicious spirits, if I’m not wrong. Besides, there weren’t enough materials to make its lamp oil before, so you didn’t even bother about it,
huffed the System resentfully.

There should be more than enough now. Stop talking about me when you’re the one that should pull yourself together. Stop devoting so much attention catching petty thieves and taking utterly inadequate measures. Wouldn’t putting effort into accumulating those materials be faster than arresting thousand of thieves?
uttered Fang Ning in disdain.

Arresting thieves is something I do without extra trouble. Besides, the more money they have, the harder I have to work. I can’t be too idle either, and I have ten supervision threads, so I can’t practice while arresting thieves while collecting materials…
said the System, completely ignoring Fang Ning’s suggestions.

Whatever. As long as you don’t delay things.
Fang Ning understood the System’s stingy personality would never let even a single experience point go.

First things first, we’re going to check on the progress of the lamp oil’s materials. From now onwards, we’ll check it on it briefly every three days, and we’ll do a grand inspection every ten days where we increase the supply of resources, optimize configuration, and improve output,
said Fang Ning seriously.



Why didn’t you just go with this arrangement in the beginning? Wasted all my time for nothing, and we can’t even entrust someone else with this,
grumbled the System.

Oh, a wise sage once said that regret is the most useless emotion humans can feel. Look towards the future, don’t regret anything.
Fang Ning quickly passed a bowl of chicken soup to the System.

I’m not regretting anything. I just want to remind you that you can’t play anymore from now on,
asserted the System eloquently.

Ugh, let me play once every three days, otherwise I’ll suffer a mental breakdown easily…
begged Fang Ning.
…
In the Land of Heritage, at a certain area where birdsong could be heard and the fragrance of flowers permeated the air, beehives in neat rows could be seen everywhere. Countless bees the size of an index finger hovered in mid-air in formation, looking just like an army waiting to be deployed.
All around the beehives were flowers in full bloom, and the flowers themselves emitted a herbal fragrance, obviously signifying that they were all actually extremely rare plants.
However, not a single bee flitted about amongst the flowers, as they were all gathered near the beehives.

Venerable One, before us is the Sacred Bee Tribe that you entrusted us to breed. We’ve been caring for them for slightly more than a year, and they’re all well-bred. Under the guidance of the Spiritual Insects Clan, their training has been coming along well too. They’ve recently started to produce large amounts of beeswax, all thanks to the regulated climate of this place. They’re able to produce up to hundreds of pounds of it a month,
explained Qiao Zishan.
The Venerable Dragon God came to inspect the industrial situation personally, so the Truth Department naturally did not dare delay things and had immediately sent a familiar person to welcome him.


Ren Ruofeng would never have appeared for something like this. After all, he had too many things to handle in a day.
As a result, the dependable and sincere Qiao Zishan had to take the field once more.
Everyone knew very well that the Venerable Dragon God liked honest folk, and it would be even better if they were slightly stupid as well.
Among all his Followers, his favorite was obviously Black Dog, who often got the worst of it, and this was obvious to everyone…

Hmm, very good. You lot are still quite diligent.
Vigilante A reached a hand out, and one of the sturdier bees that was about half a palm in size landed on his hand, causing the people around him to click their tongues in amazement.
The Sacred Bee vibrated its wings rapidly and emitted humming sounds. Vigilante A nodded his head as he listened to it, causing the people around him to be even more confused.
Noticing the situation, Qiao Zishan felt nervousness creep over him. He had no idea that Vigilante A could communicate with the bee colony directly.
Suddenly, he remembered that he had forgotten to say something important…

Oh, everything else is going splendidly. However, this bee just said that a big insect often comes strutting in here to steal their honey and royal jelly… Is that so?
asked Vigilante A calmly.

Oh, now that you’ve found out, there is actually something like that going on. The big insect isn’t just anyone else, but Miss Daqing,
said Qiao Zishan in embarrassment,
however, we can’t exactly call what Miss Daqing does stealing either. It always comes to help us out. Besides, it is also the clan leader of the Spiritual Insects Clan, and they’ve helped us a lot with training the bees, so part of the wage includes it…




Ugh, what work can it do? It’s as big as a palm, and it’s not bigger than a dozen or so of those Sacred Bees…
asked Vigilante A in doubt, his gaze sweeping over the beehives.

Uh, about that…
Qiao Zishan was obviously slightly troubled, so he then said to a staff member,
Instructor Wang, you explain it.

A technician that seemed to be in his mid-50s walked over and hesitated for a while before saying,
The Venerable One might not know it, but in the natural world, drone bees live short lives. Although their lifespans are relatively quite long, they’re never able to die of old age, do you know why is that?


Of course I do. In the natural world, you’re either useful or useless. After drone bees have served their mating purposes, they’re useless. When honey in the hive is scarce, they’re mercilessly driven out by worker bees. Since they’re unable to collect honey, they can only starve or freeze to death… Nature has always been cruel. Compassion and kindness only existed when human beings birthed civilization, which is why we should cherish those things so that the world doesn’t lose the light of civilization,
said Vigilante A calmly.

The Venerable One really is extremely knowledgeable, what an admirable trait,
said Instructor Wang as he nodded.
Miss Daqing is a kind child, it was the one that suggested to turn the useless drone bees into female bees. Since they’re small in size, it wouldn’t consume much of its magical energy. And so all the drone bees that had served their mating purposes were turned into worker bees who could collect honey, so they were no longer driven out to starve to death…


Huh…
Fang Ning was rendered speechless upon hearing this. He was in awestruck admiration as he thought to himself, ‘That Chong Daqing really knows how to play…’

If that’s the case, that the great green insect eating honey is as what it deserves, since it did help create more labor power for the bees. I’ll explain this to the queen bees so that they won’t be surprised by it anymore,
said Vigilante A in satisfaction.

How brilliant, Venerable One,
complimented those around him.

What is there to call brilliant. Ah, you humans really are such fakes,
sneered the System in disdain.

Hmph, being slightly fake is good too. At least it makes people feel more comfortable than being too straightforward,
said Fang Ning in indifference. He then asked in wonder,
How are you able to talk to these bees?




Of course I can, do you think I’m you? I have ten surveillance threads, so I pick up various skills from the people in the Draconic Penitentiary every day. You’ll no longer be able to find out my inner secrets,
replied the System confidently.

How brilliant, Sir System,
complimented Fang Ning in sincere admiration.

Hahahaha…
Upon hearing Fang Ning’s compliment, the System immediately felt smug.
