Seized by the System

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At a luxuriously decorated private room of a large restaurant in Qi City.

Inside, sat three people. They ordered a table full of good wine and good food, and were slowly eating and chatting.

These three people were the three young workers who made a din at Vigilante A's farm villa the previous night.

The farm was not the Draconic Penitentiary, nor was it the Draconic Realm. The people working there could naturally come and go as they pleased.

However, they had to use a special entrance to enter. Otherwise, they would not be able to enter the maze shrouded farm.

"Is it wrong to want to get ahead? Is it wrong to want to make progress?" Wang Wenqing gulped down a glass of wine in a tone full of complaints.

"It's not wrong. It's not wrong at all. You're smart and quick-witted. It's a shame that talents are everywhere but are only seldom recognized… No one has discovered you yet." The workmate opposite him soothed.

It turned out that they really were just acting out a play yesterday. Unfortunately, they might have fooled the System, but the could not fool Fang Ning.

After all, Fang Ning had lived for over thirty years, and had seen too many plays.

"Why can't the Venerable One just pay more attention to me? My cultivation is clearly faster than yours…" Wang Wenqing drank another glass of wine and grumbled.

"Yeah, it's really a pity. If your family had access or money, you would be able to be sent to some of those famous factions… If you're not afraid of death, you can also go to the nearby Qi City Special Affairs Liaison Office and sign up. They recruit foreign members at fixed terms, but it is a little dangerous." The workmate opposite him soothed again.

Those two workmates had friendly relations with Wang Wenqing. After all, Wang Wenqing knew how to conduct himself, so they also hope that when he developed, they would be able to hug his thigh.

Hearing this, Wang Wenqing's face flashed with a trace of fear and he shook his head, "Forget it. I've heard about the Special Affairs Liaison Office before. Their elimination rate is a little high, and there's also some kind of death quota during drills… It's too scary. As for famous sects, there are many which are nowhere as good as they make themselves out to be, so how can they be better than what the Dragon God has here? They all got their glory from killing with knives and guns."

"Right, right, that's true…"

At this time, a voice full of disdain sounded from outside the room's door.

"Hmph, so there are still people who want to get accepted by Vigilante A? Didn't you know that he has always been arrogant and conceited, and doesn't accept any disciples other than that eagle and dog?"

"Who is it?" Wang Wenqing turned to look at the door, a trace of panic flashing on his face.

If his words of complaint earlier traveled to the Venerable One's… no, even Butler Zheng's ears, then he would definitely lose his job.

He was self-aware and knew that his qualifications were much better than the other workers, but that was all.

At most, his vitality cultivation qualification was double F grade. It was still far from being laughed at by others.

Therefore, he still wished to continue mixing around in the farm. At least at that place, not only could he get a generous salary, there was also a good-natured master like Butler Zheng who gave free classes, which was a hundred times better than outside.

At this time, the door automatically opened, and a man a few years younger than them entered.

The man had eyebrows like swords and eyes like stars. At first glance, he looked like one of those main characters from movies.

After entering, the young man glanced at the three people and displayed a disdainful expression.

That gaze deeply pricked Wang Wenqing.

"Who're you? We don't welcome you here." He stood up and said hatefully.

"Sit." The young man lightly said.

Wang Wenqing then felt a great pressure on himself, and could not help but sit down.

"It's not important who I am. What's important is I want you to send Vigilante A a message. Tell him that Shen Xingchen, who he once cast aside before, has returned!"

After he spoke, the young man's body suddenly trembled, and a green aura gushed out from his head. It was extremely pure and spiraled around, as if choosing a person to devour…

When the three young workers saw this, they were immediately overwhelmed with horror.

They worked at the farm every day and used that proximity to benefit from the powerful. They were also knowledgeable and studied about the criteria for distinguishing the power levels in the Era of Vitality, as well as simple methods to differentiate them.

This person's power level seemed like it was not inferior to the Black and Yellow dogs…

After all, those two were Lake-level strong dogs.

Wang Wenqing stammered, "You should control yourself. This is Qi City, the Venerable Dragon God's home. If you cause trouble here, you'll be crushed by him…"

This was the fundamental reason why he did not want to be driven out from the farm.

No matter what, there would always be a layer of tiger skin covering. At least, monsters would not appear in Qi City.

However, who was this person standing before them?

'Sheng Xingchen, where's he from? It sounds like he's had some history with the Venerable One?'

A worker older than him, who was standing beside him, had entered the farm to work earlier.

This workmate suddenly startled and said, "I know now. Aren't you that young boy who came to visit the Venerable One as a disciple and knelt at the gate for a months before finally getting driven away by the Venerable One?"

"Hmph, looks like there are still people who remember me. Good, very good." Sheng Xingchen sneered.

In the past, he did exercise restraint. However, the current him was full of pride and ambition.

As the saying went, fortune that was in the east bank thirty years ago, turn to the west after thirty years passed. If wealth and fortune did not return to their homeland, it would be just like walking in the night with brocade clothes. Who would know? 1

The workmates who recognized Sheng Xingchen nudged Wang Wenqing after speaking, and whispered, "Let's hurry back and pass on the message. Don't talk to him too much."

Wang Wenqing agreed. He could tell that this boy who was several years younger than him was not someone who was easy to talk to. If he was not careful, the young man might use him to show his might.

However, maybe he should act out a ruse of securing the enemy's faith by intentionally injuring himself. An idea suddenly popped into his head, and his timid mind welled up.

The ruse was admittedly good, but if he did not execute it properly, it could cost a life… Forget it.

Thus, he lowered his head towards Sheng Xingchen, "Alright, you wait here. We'll go and pass on your message now."

Sheng Xingchen finally put away his aura and stood away from the door.

The three people rushed to leave some cash on the table and dashed out.

…

"Mr. Rich Host, stop playing. There's someone asking for trouble." Sir System said excitedly.

"Huh? Who's so brave to willingly offer himself up to die?" Fang Ning hacked a monster to death while speaking.

"Do you still remember that kid called Sheng Xingchen? The one where you made Old Man Zheng fool away because you were too lazy to accept disciples?" The System explained.

"Oh, I remember. Looks like someone's made a great achievement. He even seems like he's here to slap some faces…" Fang Ning stopped playing and pondered.

"Haha, he's overthinking. At the dawn of creation, a System was born. No one can slap my face." Sir System said triumphantly.

"Yeah, you don't even have a face, so of course no one can slap it." Fang Ning took the opportunity to insult the System.

"Damn it, you're insulting me again." The System became gloomy.

"Just hurry up and go deal with that kid. Let him know that however strong he is, there will always someone stronger. You can also conveniently farm some experience points."

"Ah, that's what I thought too. However, I feel like it's a bit wasteful… That's why I'm here to consult with the wise Host." The System hesitated.

"Oh, your intuition is quite sensitive. I remember this kid's qualifications are very high…" Fang Ning looked at the monsters in the game, and inspiration struck him, "He definitely improved quickly. How about this, when you teach him a lesson this time, be gentle. Let him have a feeling of 'if I try harder, I'll be able to catch up'…"

"Oh, Mr. Rich Boss, you're so smart. This way, he'll definitely come back again…" The System said happily.

"That's right. This is the way to deal with someone who didn't commit a great evil, but is still extremely annoying." Fang Ning said heavily.

Then, Vigilante A flew to Qi City from the villa window.

There, the yellow dot representing Sheng Xingchen sparkled on the System Map.
