Seized by the System

Chapter 94: Sir System Went Ballistic…

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Through the System View, Fang Ning observed the scenery outside. At this moment, the fire dragon was soaring above the clouds. The sky was azure, the white clouds beneath them were moving backward rapidly.

He did not hear any sound burst, it seemed they were not traveling at supersonic speed.

However, with the current traveling speed, Fang Ning surmised they would not even need three hours to get to the location.

Fang Ning admired the scenery, and at the same time, he fantasized at how he was going to show off in a while.

He said, “Sir System, when you arrive, you should land straight from the air, do a Dragon’s Storm Breath and suck all the Giant Yellowjackets away. It would look so cool, Vigilante A would be famous throughout the lands! This is a China-wide emergency!”

The System retorted, “I don’t need you to teach me how to fight…”

Fang Ning apologized, “Right, I’m sorry… Also, I think we should record it and ask the Truth Department if we can sell it. This sh*t is worth so much, you don’t even know how much people would pay for it…”

“Just don’t expose my combat abilities.”

Fang Ning heard the System and immediately said, “Ah well. Money is not hard to come by anyway, trump cards, however, we can’t reveal it to everyone. But we can’t stop other people from sneaking a picture or video here and there. Remember that Enchanter Qi Tao dude? There were two people from Hummingbird who were recording behind us. I don’t think the Truth Department would let it be broadcasted anyway, it would affect a lot of things.”

During the conversation, they have flown pretty close to the location marked in the report, it would be at most another half-hour of flight. Fang Ning realized he received a notification from QQ.

Zheng Dao asked, “The Truth Department asked me urgently, they said they’ve detected a powerful entity speeding through the air. They were also asking if it was the Venerable Dragon God using his true form?”

Fang Ning said boastfully, “Yes, I am with him, we shall clean this mess up, so don’t worry. Just remember to ask them to prepare a remuneration. It doesn’t have to be a lot, about… two hundred million will do.”

Zheng Dao paused for a split second, “It’s not about that. They were requesting for you to not appear in your true forms. The Giant Yellowjackets were splitting up.”

“According to their analysis, they might have felt the presence of their natural enemies, so they started to escape. Combined with the intel they’ve gotten from NASBOU, they are guessing it was because they noticed the approaching of the Venerable Ones.”

Fang Ning had to regain his composure for a little bit, “Okay, I got it.”

Fang Ning asked the System, “Can you keep your presence down a little bit?”

The System replied, “It’s easy enough to do in human form. Now that I’m in my true dragon form, the aura was too powerful to contain, not even that item would help much.”

Fang Ning sighed, “I can understand. Seeing how often the system notification pops up saying the enemies were suppressed by your Dragon Force, it’s not hard to infer how strong it is.”

“The two dogs were like that as well, escaping before we’ve arrived, so it’s not that surprising that the Giant Yellowjackets would notice. I do feel it’s strange that their senses are so sharp, we’re still hundreds of kilometers away! With my strong olfactory sense and my detective-like reasoning ability, I smell a hint of conspiracy, we need to be careful.”

The System said, “Syntax error…”

Fang Ning replied, “I will remind you when I see it, let’s go there in human form first.”

During the conversation, the System had already found a clearing and landed, transforming back into human form.

Fang Ning asked worriedly, “In that case, would we not be able to use AoE abilities?”

The System answered, “I can use it in human form, it’s just not as potent as when I use it in true dragon form. However, those are only yellowjackets the size of a sparrow, it’s enough to kill them.”

As it was explaining, Vigilante A zoomed at their destination. Running was slower than flying, however. Half an hour of flight would translate to about two hours running.

After a while, Zheng Dao texted again, “The Truth Department informed me that the powerful entity had disappeared, and the Giant Yellowjackets had stopped dispersing about. Have the Venerable Ones returned to your human forms?”

Fang Ning answered, “Yes, looks like the bugs can really sense if we’re approaching. How do they do it? Please investigate, we’re still some distance away.”

Zheng Dao said, “I will ask relevant agencies for help.”

***************

At this moment, in a secret command post on the mountain to the Southwest.

A certain executive of the Truth Department asked, “Ready the assault, how’s the preparation going?”

The head of Ba City’s Special Affairs replied, “The Eastern Front is ready.”

The head of Shu City’s Special Affairs said, “The Northern and Western Fronts are ready.”

The head of Dian City’s Special Affairs replied, “The Southern Front is ready.”

The Truth Department executive pointed on the map and said, “Order them to raise all four nets immediately and close in slowly. Xue Feng, go check out the attendance of external assistance.”

“You’ll be in charge of assigning them to the four fronts depending on their power level, you can play it by ear. They will be part of our mobile assisting force to aid our garrisoned forces to prevent the bugs from fleeing.”

A youth carrying a sword stood up expressionlessly after memorizing the marked locations on the map and went to the room next door.

Soon after, he returned to report, “Reports are in. Both the Venerable Ones are going to arrive at the Eastern Front in an hour, Buddha Spirit King will be at the Southern Front in half an hour, Tianjing Fawang is heading to Western Front and will arrive in twenty minutes, and Master Ma of Mount Indigo Monastery is already nearby and will arrive at the Northern Front in five minutes.”

“Aside from those, a group of compatriotic folks is gathering here, estimated time of arrival about two hours from now.”

The executive instructed, “Identify them. Ask those without battle records to standby. If they come here without preparation, it might just injure them unnecessarily. After all, special incidents of this scale are still helmed by us, they’d just be helping out.”

Xue Feng nodded and exited again.

The command “unite all unifiable powers” was not just an empty noise. It was not just Vigilante A. Many lawful heroes who are willing to align with the Truth Department but did not want to be restricted by the system were given the status of an associate of the Special Affairs.

Even someone like Buddha Spirit King, who was sitting on the fence between justice and evil, agreed on this to preserve his foundation with connections to the Greater Rat Demon Clan and not completely burn the bridges.

***************

Vigilante A was, at the moment, perched on top of the crown of a tree, looking around.

Around him, well-trained military units were spread out all over, occupying the important spots, building simple structures, and waiting.

They were pretty stealthy, bringing all kinds of unknown weapons, but nothing gets past the System View, as Fang Ning quickly noticed their hidden spots. After a moment of observation, he realized their weapons were different from the normal ones, it must be modified versions of the standard issue weapons.

In the System Space.

The System complained, “You promised me we could wipe them out, but why are we here? This place is still pretty far away from the swarm.”

Fang Ning explained in resignation, “Do you think we’re shooting a film? We can’t only have a few superheroes to save the day. The Truth Department is not a director, he wouldn’t wait for us to come onscreen and show off.”

“They must have planned this out meticulously, just like the ‘Four Sides Six Corners’ stratagem 1 in the final days of Ming Dynasty. They must have set up an encirclement to trap all the mutated yellowjackets.”

“Since we’ve only gotten this information due to their intelligence network, and we depend on them to clear our names, we should just stay here and catch the fish that escaped the net 2 .

After Fang Ning finished speaking, the System was silent for a long while.

Fang Ning reckoned there was no longer anything for him to do. Since they were supposed to only stand by, and he was not like the cultivation-freak System, he decided to take the time to play his game.

However, before he even logged into the game, a system notification came that instantly turned him off.

Was this a colossal joke? Sir System had flown for thousands of kilometers only to pick up scraps?!

[The System is evaluating…]

[The System is evaluating…]

[The System is evaluating…]

[The System decides to farm the swarm of Giant Yellowjackets.]

Fang Ning yelled, “Hey, hey! Are you trying to work alone? The consequence will be severe!”

Vigilante A ignored it and came down of the tree.

He dashed across the dense woods. Even though highly aware military units scattered around the woods, no one was able to notice Vigilante A, however close he was. Not even the NASBOU detected him.

Fang Ning called out a few times and decided that Sir System had already flown off the handle,ignoring instructions.

He gave it a little thought. He dared not ask Zheng Dao to inform the Truth Department of the change, or it might spoil Sir System’s fun and make things worse. In comparison, it was easier trying to deceive the Truth Department.

Fang Ning cranked the gears in his head, trying to list out the possible consequences and how to deal with them.

He knew Sir System was in a state of berserk, but if his suggestions were reasonable, Sir System would have listened, just like when they first met.

As Vigilante A was getting close to the combat zone, Fang Ning was rattling off what he could think of…

“If they’ve designed it in such a way, they wouldn’t plan for the Giant Yellowjackets to escape.”

“You don’t have much of your Morality Bar left, do you? You haven’t been able to replenish it after your dragon transformation just now, you even fought.”

“If your flipping out would cause the danger to spread, your chivalric outlook would plunge.”
