Seized by the System

On the wavy mountains on the lunarette where the Sun was scorching.

When the Moon crisis ended, the Moon became a "mooncake". It hung high above the sky on a fixed spot, and rotated in tandem with the Earth, which brought extra attention to it.

Nonetheless, after some time, everyone began to calm down from their excitement, and continued living their days. For this year, rare events were already considered to be extremely normal…

Among the undulating mountains was a tiny stone house. It was surrounded and enveloped in a layer of white mist, which protected it from the blazing sun and the piercing sand dust.

While it was scorching hot on the outside, it was exceptionally comfortable inside the house, as if there was air conditioning.

Mere tricks like that would cost a fortune if they were to be done through science and technology.

"Master, I was incapable, I can only help them escape here. Fortunately, Vigilante A was attracted by Ling Yunzi, he didn't bother about us." Black Robe reported to a bald man.

The bald man nodded. He was Zhi Nan, who used to have fluttering long hair but for some reason, he turned bald.

If Fang Ning were to call him a bald donkey again, he would really be worthy of the name this time.

"It doesn't matter, Vigilante A won't look over here." Zhi Nan said plainly.

"Master, you're very wise. Vigilante A that blind man doesn't have such a great spiritual ascension, I'm certain that he won't see through this wonderful formation set up by you." Black Robe rejoined respectfully.

"Mmm, let us not talk about this now. You came at the perfect time, I have instructions for you. You have to cultivate techniques but you must follow up with cultural knowledge as well, especially with modern scientific knowledge of the people on Earth now. You must not underestimate it." Zhi Nan mentioned.

Naturally, Black Robe and Claudia immediately nodded in response.

However, Yamanashi who was behind him looked up and widened her eyes in confusion. "Master, the internet is spreading that the current scientific system is already in a disastrous state, it's hard to explain the various changes happening now. There are rumors every day that some scientists have gone mad because of this, and even committed suicide. They can't even pull themselves together, why should we learn those things?

"Just like the Moon that transformed into a mooncake, there wasn't any drastic change like what they've predicted. The law of nature, gravity, tides and so on that were concluded from before became invalid. What good will it bring us if we study it?"

For a middle school student, how could learning be more interesting than training?

Training one's abilities allowed one to grow stronger day by day, hence the body would experience the feeling of becoming stronger along with it.

Besides, even if one could not break a brick today, one could destroy an entire greenstone the next month.

Learning was not as fun as this.

Learning was dull as it required one to digest and to comprehend. Other than that, one needed to apply it in real life, and exert its practicality, which would take up a long time.

Upon hearing her, Zhi Nan only smiled slightly, he was rather patient with this disciple of his.

After all, she was the only one of his preordained nine Devil Generals.

It was quite a pity. Even until now, out of the nine Devil General seeds he planted, only one succeeded.

Initially there were two, but Nie Yuan had an unstable mind so he escaped and returned. As expected, he was born to be deeply possessed.

Zhi Nan did not go into a rage because of this, as everything was within his expectations, and this was exactly where Nie Yuan's destiny laid.

Therefore, he explained, "Science is not something of a fixed conclusion, it's a way and an attitude to understand the world. When the earthling's science is brought to the upper realm, it's also considered to be an extremely high technique. The key is that it has long been adapted into the world, and carries a greater benefit than the many techniques in this world that we already know of."

Yamanashi comprehended this slightly, but since Zhi Nan had already said so, she could not refute anymore, so she nodded her head conscientiously as a sign of agreement.

After Ling Yunzi's case, she knew deep down that whoever she was following was definitely not kind.

'Luckily, master is still quite nice to me, I must not make him mad.

'After all, he's not Lord Azure Dragon who's benevolent, kind, righteous, generous, and handsome. I can't act so capriciously…

'As soon as I've learned his abilities, I'll seek refuge in Lord Azure Dragon, then I'll have some foundation… At least I won't become a burden.'

When she thought about this, some intermittent images appeared in her mind.

Looking at how the three of them were so obedient, Zhi Nan was somewhat glad.

From a bookshelf in a corner of the stone house, he retrieved three books, and gave one to each of them.

"These three books were compiled by combining principles of this realm. They're Physics of Vitality, Chemistry of Vitality, and Biology of Vitality respectively, I'm just taking a whirl at it. You may first take a look and discuss with some human scientists, then report to me after that if anything is lacking.

"Master, your wisdom is like the ocean, these books must be perfect and flawless like the Heavenly Book. Those scientists are just commoners, how can they find any flaw?" Black Robe instantly bootlicked him.

"Hah, you must remember, in science, only facts matter. Servility has no place in this." Zhi Nan shook his head.

"Uh, yes, yes, master, I know my mistake." Right away, Black Robe apologized anxiously.

He carried the book respectfully then asked again, "Master, do you have any other orders?"

"Mmm, I do. When you discuss with those scientists, focus on looking for astronomers and physicists that research on the origin and the end of the universe…" Zhi Nan pondered, then took a jade bottle out.

"Inside this is the so-called Dragon Clan Honey-flavored Pills which are able to strengthen one's body, and elevate one's spirit, which will help in improving one's learning ability. Each of you take one each. As for the remaining ones, use them to recruit those scientists, I believe they have no reason to reject it." Zhi Nan added.

"Thank you for your gift, owner."

"Thank you for your gift, master."

"Thank you for your gift, Devil Lord."

The three of them thanked him.

"Alright, you may leave, Vigilante A won't be looking for trouble. As for Ling Yunzi, don't hang out with him for the time being, he's already on Vigilante A's kill list." At last, Zhi Nan exhorted.

"Yes, owner, we'll bid our farewells now, please take care of yourself."

"Go, go. Remember, remember, don't forget to learn." Zhi Nan uttered.

Black Robe then waved his robe, then the three of them disappeared.

After returning to the white villa on the ocean's shore, Black Robe realized that Vigilante A really did not occupy this place, everything was the same as when he left…

Oh no, many things were gone.

The luxurious car, the pieces of furniture, the electricity, and the expensive accessories. Everything was gone…

Although Black Robe was not shocked, he was still at a loss for words.

He turned and said to his two companions, "How is he a vigilante? He's clearly a thief!"

Claude nodded her head hard.

Yamanashi could not help but defend him, "How can you insist that it's Sir Azure Dragon who took them away? Perhaps it was that dark big tiger who took them, you say that it's actually Tom the black cat, so it must want to take everything out from its house."

"Uh, this is a valid possibility. Forget it, just ask them to purchase more items." Black Robe felt that it was quite a reasonable reasoning, hence he did not want to argue with the young lady any more.

He took the bottle of pills out, then followed the devil lord's order from before, giving one pill to each of them.

Claudia immediately received it carefully. It was a light red pill which had a sweet aura about it.

Instantly, she became elated. 'Sure enough, being faithful has its advantages. The Lord Devil was quite fair after all, he finally counted me in when he gave us precious gifts.

'I believe that brother won't have gifts like that for being undercover at Vigilante A's place, he might have been wronged for many times too…

'As long as I continue working hard, I'm sure I won't be far from being bestowed the Devilish Ability.'

When Saki Yamanashi received the pill, she did not treasure it as much as the others. After all, she was already at such an age, hence she swallowed it straight.

"It's quite nice, like jelly beans. But it's too little, we only get one each, it's not enough." She commented.

"Be content, this is exclusively made by the Dragon Clan, only Vigilante A produces it, and we're his enemies. Our owner is very resourceful, which is why he was able to acquire some, it's our blessing to be able to eat even one of it." Black Robe lectured her.

Black Robe was right. On the Earth where there were millions and billions of people, there were scarcely any who were able to taste the Dragon Clan Honey-flavored Pill.

In terms of this, somebody was truly blessed without knowing it.
