China.
According to ancient rites, before a grand festival, one must perform ablution and fasting in order to express reverence towards heaven and earth.
Regarding this, after the meeting was dispersed, Old Hook specially reminded Vigilante A.
Fang Ning expressed that these had no effects on him at all.
At this moment, he was still playing games in the System Space, as if he was not even bothered about the sacrificial ceremony happening three days later.
Thought he needed to fast, he had also forgotten when was the last time he ate on his own…
Now he was still allowed to be a vegetarian, which simply raised the standard.
As for ablution, as far as he could remember, vital energy enveloped his whole body after the Sir possessed his body, such that he became spotless, automatically cleaned. Even his perspiration was cleared up…
Just like the old saying, one became speckless when suffused with vital energy; with a body like glass, one will never be covered in dust.
Once Fang Ning thought about this, he suddenly put his game down and turned pale as he was frightened, he said to some idiot,
Damn, I wouldn’t know if I didn’t count, you haven’t been bathing me for almost a year…

Upon hearing that, Sir System who was working hard on capturing thieves said in distress,
There’s no need to, why should you waste your time to bathe?

Fang Ning was speechless, he then said,
I need the feeling of a ceremony, do you understand? Quickly return to Truth Department and return my body, I have to take a bath.

Sir System rejected and said,
I don’t understand, I’m not giving it back.

Fang Ning was helpless, he could only sacrifice his ultimate weapon.
Five million, can you let me take a bath?!

A brief moment later, Vigilante A returned to the base of Truth Department’s headquarter like a flying sword.
System Notification: [The System temporarily discontinues its seizing status towards the host.]
[The System transfers five million out of the host’s free banking account.]
Sir System said,
Look at you, wouldn’t it have been better if you said that from the start? You could’ve saved a few seconds.

Fang Ning was at a complete loss for words. After he retrieved his own body, he found a worker on the base. After taking many turns under the lead of the worker, they arrived at a luxurious bathhouse that belonged to the logistics team in Truth Department, then he started to take his bath.
As he was the only person in the commodious bathroom, it was like a VIP guest treatment.
Clearly, the water had been changed as it was crystal clear and the bottom could be seen, various toiletries were also laid out beside him which were easily accessible.
While Fang Ning bathed, he talked nonsense,
By the way, this Pond-level is really nothing much, there’s not much water in this pond.

Just as he was five minutes into his bath, an old sir rushed him and said,
Just soak for a little while, there’s nobody with a body cleaner than yours, you don’t even need to bathe in the first place. When have you seen the hero bathing? More like the hero often sees other people bathing.

Fang Ning said helplessly,
I’ve only bathed for a few minutes, is the five million really so unworthy??

[The System is evaluating…]
[The System is evaluating…]
[The System decides to meditate and train…]
The System said,
Look, you can bathe as you wish, I’ll be meditating in the water, we won’t disturb one another.

Fang Ning was tongue-tied. Could he even enjoy a comfortable bath?
…
A moment later, a worker from the logistics team knocked on the door and entered.
He wanted to ask if the hero had any need, but he found him sitting with his eyes shut and legs crossed in the water, the vital energy in the surrounding was dense, and a dragon figure could be vaguely seen.
This worker was Yu Bo who was in his twenties, he had an ordinary look, but there was a sense of persistence between his brows, when he witnessed this scene, he was instantly deeply shocked.
The sages said it well,
A genius is one percent inspiration, but ninety-nine percent perspiration.

He did not know if this sentence had a second half to it, but at this moment, he totally saw these from this hero.
The Venerable Dragon God was complete with talent and hard work.
Undoubtedly, he was a True Dragon from the Upper Realm, but even when taking a bath, he never forgets to cultivate…
Was there anyone else who was as diligent as the Venerable One?
It was almost impossible.
He had met many geniuses who were gifted with talents, whom worked hard and persevered in the early stage, causing them to progress in the speed of lightning.
After achieving a little success from their cultivation, until a certain level, they started to enjoy wealth, glory and flatters from people, which resulted from their statuses.
They left all their bitter days of cultivation behind, and in a long run, they became no different from normal people.
From the way he looked at it, the Venerable Dragon God was the only one he did not have to worry that something like this would happen.
It was no wonder that he was able to achieve a prestigious reputation of the
Eastern Pharos
in just a year’s time.
Currently, when all unorthodox demons were faced with the Venerable One, it would be a difficult task even if they wanted to flee at the mere sight of him, let alone provoking or battling him.
All of a sudden, Yu Bo was significantly inspired, he did not disturb the hero, but instead left quietly.
He returned to the simple and neat reception room outside, while he waited, he concentrated in cultivating the basic techniques instilled by Truth Department.
Through stages of selections and inspections, they were able to choose a basic cultivation technique from the Hall of Lores, after they entered the department, and it was the same for even a logistics worker.
He believed that, perhaps he did not have that one percent of inspiration of talent, but as long as he gave ninety-nine percent of effort, even if he might not surpass the others, he would unquestionably be stronger than himself yesterday…
…
Just when Yu Bo was driven in his cultivation, a voice was heard a short while later.

Little fellow, you chose the wrong technique. The harder you train, the faster you’ll regress… Sigh, Truth Department has only left me for a few days, but there’s already such a flaw in a new worker, yet nobody is doing anything about it.

Ren Ruofeng walked into the reception room leisurely as he waved a folding fan.

Hello, Advisor Ren.
The little fellow immediately stood up and greeted him.

Mmm, you’re Yu Bo, right? Return to the Hall of Lores and pick another one, remember to choose a bold and sophisticated one, which is more compatible with your true character.

The little fellow was startled, he did not think that the advisor was indeed like what was said in the legends, he was profoundly resourceful, and was the living dictionary of the Truth Department.
No matter the immensity of matters or the innumerable members in Truth Department, they were all engraved in his mind.
Today was probably the first time they met, but he was able to identify him accurately and even mentioned his information, which was in fact unfathomable.
Sure enough, he was not the kind who was fond of being in the service line or logistics, he longed for the battlefield. These were recorded in the files.

Is the Venerable One inside?


Yes, he’s training inside.


As expected, it’s the demeanor of the Venerable One to even train as he bathes. Alright, go on with what you’re doing, I’ll wait here for a while.
Ren Ruofeng sat down in the reception room as he said.
Yu Bo nodded. He naturally stopped cultivating the technique from before, instead he found a book and started reading.
Ren Ruofeng nodded as he thought that the young man was worthy to be taught, he would undeniably be successful in the future.
Afterwards, he did not waste his time as well, he immediately took out his laptop that he carried with him at all times, and started to work on the spot.
These days, he had been drinking too much, which wasted quite a lot of his time, he needed to make up to that as he did not want to be underestimated by that old lady.
Around half an hour later, Vigilante A walked out looking refreshed and high-spirited.
…
In another room, the two of them sat down separately.
Ren Ruofeng personally looked for Vigilante A to tell him about an exceedingly important matter.

Venerable One, according to feedback from the intelligence channel, numerous media outlets from the west had been acting together and were calling for your appearance for the past two days. They lifted you up high just like you were Saint Savior, I think that this is not a great sign.

Vigilante A fell silent and did not say a word.
Sir System said,
I was wondering why there hasn’t been any huge farming these two days, the Mythos in the world actually soundlessly rose to 15 points, looks like there is still a larger number of good people in the world…

Fang Ning was unable to get a word out.
You simple-minded, naive System, you still think that it’s a good thing? Ren Ruofeng has already stated it so plain and clear, yet you’re still clueless about the severity of this, the higher you’re lifted up, the harder you fall.

The System said,
I don’t understand, translate it please?

Fang Ning explained patiently,
Sir, they’re shaping you into a prominent, glorious figure, it’ll be easy if you manage to do it, but if you fail to become what they claim you to be, if you can’t save the catastrophe, your image will crumble, and your reputation will be ruined. When that happens, I suppose that it’ll be good enough if it doesn’t become negative, let alone increasing the Mythos…

Sir System said in utter shock,
They actually manipulate me? Such vicious people must be farmed immediately, my Mythos was a hard-earned one…

Fang Ning was speechless.
If you’d like to farm, you have to at least find out who they are… Things have changed now. Among those sinners, they’ll be searching for ways to hide themselves if they have any strengths or abilities. This is all because of you.

At this instant, Ren Ruofeng continued saying,
There’s something else too, Robert said that he has just sent you an email, it’s related to the situation just now.

He said that he initially wanted to just call you to remind you, but it didn’t go through, so he asked me to come look for you personally and that I must remind you to check it.

It was then when Vigilante A nodded and replied,
I see, I’ll check it right now then.

When Ren Ruofeng heard that, he immediately kept his laptop and bid his farewell.
Fang Ning on the other hand quickly received his email on the internet.
Twenty minutes ago, which was when Fang Ning was bathing, Robert actually did send Vigilante A an email.
Towards important clients as such, Fang Ning did the usual and left them his personal contact information, be it QQ, WeChat, or email.
When Fang Ning opened it to take a look, he found a spreadsheet inside, which recorded profiles of a number of people.
Name, pictures, routine location, and sins committed in the past.
After Fang Ning had a look, he immediately felt aggrieved at injustice.
These fellows carried surface identities of Americans or stay-abroad Americans, the similarity between them was that while they looked dignified and noble, they were incomparably filthy.
They were different from normal sinners, as they had some smart, unique measures, which were able to hide away from the sensing of Sir System’s Map.
Although the Eastern Pharos was no less in lighting up the American continent, he had never arrested these people.
As expected, these sinners were speedily evolving, as they searched for all kinds of methods to avoid the light from the Pharos.
Those that did not evolve would soon be farmed by the Sir.
This was another form of survival of the fittest.
Upon seeing the situation, Fang Ning suggested,
Sir, your System Map should be upgraded too, the effective level of this magic to detect evil is no longer enough…

The System threw the blame and said,
Can’t be upgraded, there’s no more experience, I need time.

Fang Ning had no choice, he had no way to counter these three reasons.
Hence, he comforted and said,
Farm this fellow first, at least there’s something… Wait a minute, why do I feel that this is like murdering a person with a borrowed knife again? There’s a very familiar feeling.

[The System is evaluating…]
[The System is evaluating…]
[ The System decides to look for a steed using a picture… 1
 ]
Fang Ning rolled his eyes, this idiot was evolving too, it started using idioms.
Instead of using
having a strong sense of justice
, it used
looking for a steed using a picture
, and not even one word was missing.
Sir was using pictures to capture people.
A while later, everyone saw a ray of brilliance shoot out to the sky from the direction of where Truth Department’s bathhouse was.
…
On the shore of the great ocean.
Chief Hook looked up at the ray of light that pierced through the sky, he could not help but laugh.
He thought to himself, ‘Hmph, whether it’s one Western Angel less or one Eastern Pharos more, it’s still the same.
‘You’re destined to be swords, as for myself, Hook Smith, I’m the sword holder on the new era.
‘In order for America to become powerful and prosperous, there’s nothing I can’t sacrifice, except for myself.
‘From today onwards, please keep Hook’s express delivery well, respectable Mr. Pharos-guy.’
