Seized by the System

After finishing a series of miscellaneous chores, Fang Ning recalled that he still had a major matter to arrange, otherwise he would definitely be nagged again by the System.

“I say, little System, although this arcane realm has been seized by you, you don’t know what business simulation is at all…”

Fang Ning returned to the System Space after inspecting the Draconic Realm and asked while leaning against the sofa in the cyber cafe.

“Of course not, I’m a role-playing System. What’s a business simulation?” Sir System questioned.

“The player really does see less clearly than the bystander. Your blacksmith’s forge, alchemy lab, and Draconic Penitentiary… they’re all core elements of a business simulation game, but you don’t have to understand this anyway. What I’m trying to say is, although you seized this arcane realm’s Heavenly Axiom, you still have to find someone to supervise and help us manage this business since you can’t. We have people in charge of several places. Butler Zheng for the outside, the Whitestone people for the Draconic Realm, Xiao Cang and Tom the Black Cat for Morality City, and me for the System Space.” Fang Ning counted his family property with his fingers.

“You just play all day…” The System muttered.

“Can it.” Fang Ning barreled forward, “Just let me think of someone to supervise this Land of Sanguinity alright?”

“Who else is there? There are only a few trusted followers, and we can’t call the Black Dog over. It’s always so air-headed it’ll be weirder if nothing goes wrong.” Sir System said gloomily.

“Let me think. We’ve already converged the paths here, and it’ll definitely be a bustling distribution center in the future. We need a very friendly person to preside over it. Right, I remember we have a maid that’s always eating for free at home? She doesn’t seem to have any presence.” Fang Ning suddenly thought.

“You’re talking about that Upper Realm fairy called Xing Xi, right? What do you mean she doesn’t have any presence? Aren’t you thinking about her right now? She has an advantage just because she looks pretty, unlike me who doesn’t even have a face…” The System said petulantly.

“Stop talking nonsense. She used to be the second palace mistress of Liu Yun Palace, so she definitely knows how to manage stuff. Moreover, there will be a mix of good and evil people here in the future. Immortals, spirits, and demons will all appear. We need someone as calculating as her to manage it.” Fang Ning said firmly.

“You know that she’s scheming as well. Aren’t you afraid she’ll bite back in the future?” Sir System did not trust anyone besides the Host.

“What’s there to be afraid of? The stronger will always be stronger. We’re already standing at the top of this world. As long as we don’t slack off, we don’t have to worry about being surpassed by others. Only by letting an employee have free reign will they do their best and obtain the highest profit. The smarter that woman is, the less likely she’ll decide to betray us. Otherwise, she’ll be ground to powder by the Heavenly Axiom.” Fang Ning said confidently

“Yep, I won’t sack off, but you’ve never been worried before.” Sir System poked another one of Fang Ning’s buttons.

“Cut the crap. Let’s go out now and call that Xing Xi over and let her take charge of the affairs here. First, she’ll make a construction program, report it to Butler Zheng on a regular basis, and finally summarize for me.” Fang Ning clapped.

“There’s no point in summarizing to you since you never look at it. You always pretend you aren’t here…” Sir System said disdainfully.

“…”

“Why aren’t you saying anything?”

“There’s no one here.”

“…”

…

At Vigilante A’s farm villa, the weather was sunny. It was another peaceful day.

Xing Xi was cleaning the large French windows of the villa. She was dressed in ancient clothes with fluttering sleeves, clearly revealing that she was a classical beauty. Even when doing unskilled labor like cleaning the windows, it could also remind people of concubines that had been thrown into the Cold Palace.

Whenever someone saw this scene, they would always sigh and blame the Dragon God Hero for being insensitive. How could he let such a beautiful woman do the work of a servant?

However, Butler Zheng knew that it was not due to the Hero’s instructions, but of her own violation.

He was a shrewd man, so he naturally would not be deceived by her outer appearance. He always looked at people from their insides.

As for this woman, he only saw a cloud of fog. She was unfathomable.

She had a large background from the Upper Realm, the position of palace mistress, and had deep schemes. No one inside the villa would be able to match her.

However, he trusted the Hero. Since he dared to keep her, he was not afraid of her causing trouble.

Before long, he saw the Hero suddenly appear in the living room from thin air.

The Hero’s remarkable abilities were becoming more amazing and miraculous.

Zheng Dao was deeply touched. He was one of the few people who watched the Hero grow up little by little.

In short, he deeply understood what people meant by RMB players…

“Butler Zheng, Xing Xi, I have something for you.” Vigilante A said.

Before long, the two people came out of the study and exchanged looks. There were some meaningful implications in their eyes.

Zheng Dao suddenly opened his mouth, “Palace mistress Xing, you’ll be serving the Venerable One in the future as well. If I may be so bold, I would like to remind you that you can feel at ease as long as you perform one word.”

“What word? Please speak, Butler Zheng.” Xing Xi opened her beautiful eyes and said kindly.

In the Upper Realm, how would she even bother with a mortal like him?

Those people would not even be able to get close within a thousand miles from the palace, much less talk to her and even instructing her…

However, he was the Dragon God’s head butler, and she was just the princess in distress. She could not wrong his intentions, and had to grind away her previously high-minded mentality and start from scratch.

This process was somewhat difficult, but she believed that she could do it because this was a tribulation. This was considered quite simple compared to the countless embarrassing situations from before.

“Honesty.”

Zheng Dao said this and walked away without a care.

He believed that the other party would understand and would be able to do it.

Otherwise, the Hero’s eyes that can distinguish between good and evil will let her understand that the True Dragon God is inviolable.

“‘Honesty’, huh?” Xing Xi tasted this word with faraway eyes.

She did not know how it had been since she followed a guideline like this.

When she was very young, there was already someone who told her that to live in Liu Yun Palace, she had to learn how to ‘deceive’.

The first time she deceived others was to conceal her extremely high cultivation aptitude. However, instead of concealing it, she ended up showing it off and getting the attention of her companions. In the end, during a banquet, she was given to a mighty being like a furnace, and was never heard of since then…

Could she really live ‘honestly’ here?

She believed that Vigilante A was most likely a truly good person. However, she did not believe in others at all.

Earth had just been transformed from a normal society to a society of extraordinaires. They probably still maintained some of the habits of ordinary people from the past.

In human society, there was no fundamental difference between individual strength and intelligence. If people were honest with each other, they could greatly reduce operating costs. This was something she naturally understood as a palace mistress.

However, an extraordinaire society was different. Hiding oneself and destroying the enemy was the best way to survive.

“Come with me. You’ll have a look at that arcane realm first before giving me a construction report.” Vigilante A suddenly appeared.

She was not surprised and only nodded.

Before long, the two people disappeared from the living room.
