Chapter 587: Danger in Qi City

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

7 March 2019, the day Jingzhe 1 started.

Spring came quietly in the northern hemisphere, and all kinds of creatures that had been dormant for the winter started to become active again.

This was the starting point of another busy year. Unconsciously, the Era of Vitality had begun to enter its 3rd year, starting from the seventh day of the seventh lunar month in 2017, going through 2018, and arriving at 2019.

Vigilante A continued coming and going from the clouds and mist, capturing thieves and robbers every day, passing his days.

Today, he was still doing the same routine.

With an open world map, he followed the leads to solve the problems. He found a problem and solved it rapidly, not slowing down a bit. With such high efficiency, any security agency would concede defeat.

Although it was just a drop in the bucket, if it were Fang Ning doing it, he would have gotten tired of it long ago. However, Sir System did not have such worries and never got sick of it every day.

In regards to this, Fang Ning knew the ins and outs of the System’s temperament, so he naturally did not think that it was much of a great deal.

In the eyes of outsiders, it was quite a big process from ‘shock’ to ‘admiration’ to ‘calm’.

Currently, it was already late in the morning outside. The sun shined brightly.

Just as Fang Ning was about to go to the lounge to sleep, no, to cultivate hard…

Suddenly, the sound of the temple block rang out, jolting him up from his cultivation.

“What’s going on? Did that Buddhist monk Zhi Nan return again?” Fang Ning opened his eyes and asked with an expression of doubt.

“No, I was the one who woke you up. Stop sleeping, the sun is already so high up, though the sunlight does look a little dark today…” The System said grumpily.

“Look at you. I’m cultivating, do you understand?” Fang Ning said rightfully.

“This is the first time I found out that people can snore while cultivating.” The System hit the nail on the head.

“Stop talking nonsense. What do you want?” Fang Ning quickly switched the topic.

“Oh, you’ll understand if you look at the System Map.”

Fang Ning’s heart tightened. Sitting on the bed in the lounge, he stretched out a hand and a three-dimensional map appeared.

He just saw the blue dot representing Vigilante A currently high in the sky.

Below that was numerous little dark red dots, looking like rashes on a body. It was definitely the bane of people with trypophobia.

“Hiss…” Fang Ning was caught off guard and suffered a fright, “Where is this place? Why’re there so many monsters?”

“That’s your hometown…” The System said matter-of-factly.

“What? That’s Qi City? Everything was completely fine when I went there to have a look yesterday…” Fang Ning hurriedly shut up.

“Oh, I was wondering why I didn’t see you playing games in the System Space yesterday. So you borrowed the Earthly Monument’s parrot form to go out and mess around again?” The System suddenly realized.

“Don’t phrase it that way. I just went out to look at my property. Since when did I mess around?” Fang Ning changed the topic again, “Stop speaking nonsense. What happened here? What are all these red dots?”

“You’re the one speaking nonsense. If I knew what those red dots are, why would I bother waking you up?” The System said righteously.

“Quickly grab a specimen and place it in the Draconic Arcane Realm. Call everyone back so we can analyze it together.”

Fang Ning immediately made a decision without any delays.

It could not be helped since his hometown had been affected. If he delayed it any more, then would he not end up homeless?

“Got it.”

Half an hour later, on the third level of the Draconic Realm, a large group of animals and people gathered in an open space. They all stretched their necks, watching a creature inside.

Chong Daqing flew back and forth in the air, muttering from time to time, “What’s so good looking about this person? Isn’t my old man better looking?”

The person in the center of everyone’s sight was an ordinary young man.

He fell to the ground, unconscious.

The yellow dog Xue Ba kept twitching its nose, lowering its head and sniffing the person’s body, as if to find some clues.

The black dog simply stood aside indifferently.

Seeing this, Chong Daqing quickly flew on the black dog’s head and asked curiously, “Little Black Dog, why don’t you go sniff around as well?”

A trace of pain flashed past Brett’s face, but it remained silent.

“Miss Daqing, don’t make things difficult for it. Ever since Brett obtained the mythical metal body, although it has extraordinary strength and has become invulnerable, it has a fatal weak point. Recently, its innate olfactory senses have been gradually disappearing. Now, the sharpness of its nose might not even be comparable to an ordinary dog’s.” The yellow dog shook its head while speaking.

The black dog lowered its head silently, clearly showing that the yellow dog was right.

In the past, it was inexperienced. It did not feel too inferior even if its sense of smell could not compare to the yellow dog’s.

However, now there was no hope of catching up at all. As a dog, if its nose was not sharp, it was the equivalent of a person’s brain being stupid. It would naturally be discriminated against.

“Oh, so that’s it. Since your nose isn’t sharp anymore, aren’t you a useless dog now? How pitiful. In that case, there’s no use in following the Azure Dragon around anymore. Why not work over at my place? The salary is good and the five insurance types 2  and housing accumulation funds are all offered.” Chong Daqing took the opportunity to convince.

The business climate had changed for the better again. After the moon crisis disappeared, Chong Daqing’s happiness clinic was once again full of people. Even due to the previous repression, there was a sort of blowout in the beginning. There were numerous personnel coming over to seek medical advice, and all kinds of dispute naturally continued.

After all, changing sex was not accepted by the mainstream. Many people came secretly behind their families’ backs, and after being discovered by the families, they found the clinic and made a huge fuss.

For these kinds of economic disputes, the Azure Dragon had no way of helping.

Therefore, it had more work that it could deal with, and needed a strong pair of hands to hold down the fort.

After all, it was just a little insect that could not frighten people with its appearance. Although its strength was profound, it could not release its aura. Ordinary people would not be able to bear it.

If the black dog was the one watching the gates, its appearance alone could deter the whole audience. There would be no need to worry about people causing trouble.

Hearing this, the black dog Brett immediately rose its head. Its face was full of determination.

“Master has shown me great kindness, so I’ll never abandon him. It’s impossible for me to work for others. It’s impossible for my entire life.” It said firmly.

Hearing this, great green insect nodded and mused, “Hm, I was right. You really are a loyal dog. In other words, you’ll only work for me after you become a ‘dead dog’. Don’t worry, I’m willing to wait that long.”

The black dog was stunned speechless after hearing that.

The yellow dog found it very funny, but since its task was more important, it could only forcefully hold back and continue working hard.

Anderson, standing by the side, completely ignored the episode and reached out spiritually, carefully examining the unconscious young man.

After a while, their complexion changed and said, “There’s a living thing inside him. Quickly withdraw three feet away.”

Fang Ning stood beside him as if he were an ordinary person, but there was not the slightest illusion of a soul.

As for appearances, his soul had already recovered to its true appearance. Of course, Vigilante A still had the image of a handsome man, there were no changes.

The strength had already reached such a high degree. He would also find it trouble to switch back and forth.

The explanation to his subordinates was that the Venerable Dragon God took a fancy to the great chef Fang because of his culinary skills, and had been chosen to be in charge of managing the Arcane Realm as well as the Draconic Penitentiary. The one outside was just a body double…

Besides, no one would pursue the truth…

The only person who knew the truth that Fang Ning was Vigilante A was that Buddhist monk Zhi Nan. Fang Ning also did not know how Zhi Nan found out.

At that time, the Sky Eagle using Divine Eyes, as well as the black and yellow dogs, and the great green insect hurriedly retreated back.

However, Fang Ning himself did not budge, neither did any of the Whitestone people.

‘Looks like everyone is already aware that I don’t have flesh…”

Fang Ning leisurely asked Anderson, “Little Andy, what’s the situation?”

“Responding to the Venerable One, this person was parasitized by a poisonous insect.” Anderson solemnly said.

“Poisonous insect?” The image of Ling Yunzi appeared in Fang Ning’s mind. ‘Doesn’t he deal a lot with poison?’

“What poisonous insect could be so terrifying? How could it have spread all across Qi City in just one night?” Fang Ning said in shock.

“It’s a type of poisonous insect that infects people with low cultivation qualities. This type of insect can be spread by means of wind flow and can also sense the level of cultivation aptitude in the nearby humans. If it’s low, it’ll lurk inside, multiply, and wait for the next outbreak. When it does, the host will die. This is a common method used in the Upper Realm to clean up overpopulation. It’s very vicious.”

It was no wonder that this innocent and ordinary young man would appear as dark red in the System Map. He was a moving source of infection.

Fang Ning pondered silently. He obtained yet more knowledge about the Upper Realm. ‘That place really is different from this world. Unlike on Earth, the Upper Realm which focused on cultivation had already developed the law of the jungle to the extreme.
