In the Truth Department Headquarters.
As soon as the meeting dissolved, Fang Ning stopped Ren Ruofeng.
"Senior Ren, about the crisis regarding the return of the moon, it'll be 2019 in a few days. I wonder how you're dealing with the current progress?" he asked seriously.
Ren Ruofeng stood still and nodded, "Thank you for your concern, Venerable One. The Land of Heritage is being built overtime, and the construction of various temporary emergency areas is progressing well..."
In the end, whether it was a wise sage or XX personnel, they would all be fooled.
In order to find treasures, the black dog regularly went to the Land of Heritage. There were no major constructions except for some more houses and fields.
Originally, the place was used for cultivation. It was a place where vitality herbs were planted, and a core place where powerhouses trained. It could never be planned as a densely populated and industrial area.
As its name itself determined, it could never be a refuge for all, but only for a few core personnel.
The 160, 000 square kilometers of land, was not small at all. In fact, it was as large as a city.
However, the infrastructure needed to accommodate the entire population of China was impossible to be completed in a year.
Thus, Fang Ning pointed out directly, "The Land of Heritage construction requires time. It can't be finished in just a few years. If the Spirit Bear fails to hold up the sky, or the Dragon God fails to stop the return of the moon, what will you do then?"
"May I ask, since the Earth's Heavenly Axiom wishes to devour the moon, how does it plan to devour it?" Ren Ruofeng countered.
"Hm, it should be the same way humans eat. It'll tear it apart and eat it piece by piece?" Fang Ning recalled what that curve wrecker ancestor dragon said, feeling unsure.
"In that case, the area that's affected shouldn't be that large, but this is just speculation. In any case, please rest assured, Venerable One. Since the Heavenly Axiom has already warned about the sea-level rising, so catastrophes more severe than that should not happen. As for the rising sea-level, we are monitoring it every day and will naturally have a way to deal with it, " Ren Ruofeng said calmly.
"Could you tell me a thing or two?"
"I'm sorry, Venerable One. It's not that I don't trust you, but since the matter is of great importance, there mustn't be any leaks."
"Ah, I understand, " Fang Ning nodded. He already vaguely understood Ren Ruofeng's methods and could not help but sigh secretly. As expected of the Truth Department's smartest guy. His IQ must be over 400.
The phrase 'those who do not study for the overall situation will not understand one aspect; those who have no long-term considerations will not be able to seize the present' perfectly described his long-sightedness.
'It seems that I'm still filled with apprehension. '
'It makes sense. The world doesn't revolve around me. Perhaps the general public that doesn't have any extraordinary powers can only place their hopes on the Pharos of the East, Vigilante A's, to be their spiritual sustenance as well as psychological comfort for surviving each day.
However, Ren Ruofeng held great power as well as a powerful organization. He would naturally not only put his hopes on Vigilante A. There would definitely be a Plan A, B, C...'
Sir System suddenly interrupted, "Richman Host, what do you know? Can you reveal something?"
"No, " Fang Ning said simply.
"Why not?" Sir System was very depressed.
"If I tell you, you might become a variable, and end up affecting Oldman Ren's plan, " Fang Ning responded firmly.
"You're fooling me again. My brother is still the best. You should just sleep every day from now on and give the body to my diligent and considerate brother. He's not worse than you in the current situation, and he doesn't have your faults and shortcomings, " the System was dissatisfied.
"Eh, are you trying to rebel?" Fang Ning suddenly realized that he seemed to have caused trouble for himself.
'As there were problems in trust and position, I used to be a monopolized industry. The System didn't have any choice, and it couldn't discuss the overall situation with others either.
'However, now that I've created that 'Dream Incarnation', I seemed to have acted a little too over the top that Sir System took a fancy to it. '
'The Dream Incarnation isn't an outsider. It's a part of my own consciousness. Just like sleepwalking, you can't say that the sleepwalker isn't you, but another person. If the sleepwalker kills someone, then you have to be punished for it. '
'Now that both trust and position no longer existed, Sir System would naturally have a choice. '
'Why do I feel like I've somewhat shot myself in the foot?'
Fang Ning pondered but still was unable to change the Dream Incarnation's 'diligent, honest, considerate, fair, and objective' setting. Otherwise, although the System had a negative EQ, its intuition was very strong. The Heavens love to dote on dumb children. It would realize in an instant. The consequences when it did would probably be very sour...
"What rebel? I'm only thinking for the sake of the overall situation, " Sir System said plausibly and let Fang Ning have a taste of his own medicine.
"Alright, fine. I'll go to sleep." Fang Ning faked an expression of defeat and bitterly went back to the lounge to sleep.
After a while, the System saw Fang Ning start to snore, and called out.
"Brother, are you there?"
"Ah, I just woke up. What's wrong?"'Fang Ning' replied.
"It's nothing much. I want to ask you something, Brother. Do you know what that lazy *ss was thinking about?" The System asked sheepishly.
"Hm? Aren't you able to detect his thoughts?"
"I can't. If it's a simple thought, then I'll be able to detect it. However, like what Ren Ruofeng said earlier seemed like it was really complicated. His thoughts are a maze, so I can't sense them clearly." The System said helplessly.
"I see, but since he told us not to do anything to affect Oldman Ren's plan, we should probably just stay out of it. We'll just mind our own business. Sometimes, doing more brings more trouble."'Fang Ning' assured.
"Hm, I guess you're right, Brother. In that case, I'll continue catching petty thieves, while you continue to practice and do your own thing, " As expected, the System was much more easily persuaded by the Dream Incarnation.
Fang Ning could not help but sigh. As expected, he really should not do anything more than three times. If he fooled the System too much, who was to say that the System would not just give him a discount. It would be better for him to be an honest person instead.
While thinking, he started his Dream-Cultivation Method...
...
A few days later, in the study of Vigilante A's farm villa in Qi City.
Zheng Dao pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and buried his nose into documents after documents.
Currently, the Venerable One's business was booming. He was no longer required to intervene in the Draconic Penitentiary and Draconic Realm. He was mainly responsible for external liaison, information procession, the operations of Anshi Ability Co. , Ltd. , the internal affairs of the villa, personnel arrangement, coordinating of the work of several of the Venerable One's followers, etc...
The door to the study rang twice.
Zheng Dao put down the document, stood up, and went to open the door.
He knew that it would not be the Venerable One himself or the black and yellow dogs. They all had one thing in common, and that was they never knocked before entering the study.
The black and yellow dogs simply entered from the ground, and the Venerable One always came in by the window...
As expected, he saw a simple-looking man in his forties after opening the door.
"Oh, it's Master Luo. Is anything the matter?" Zheng Dao invited the other to sit down. All documents in the study were not confidential. He would not process any truly confidential material in the study.
"The truth is, my daughter sent me a WeChat message saying that there was Special Affairs Department personnel who came to the house to register all the talking animals and give them citizenship. My cat, who can speak the human language, began to criticize by saying that since it was a citizen of China, it should have the right of privacy and that it wanted a private bedroom with its wife. Thus, I can't live at my house anymore... It just so happens that the house prices in my hometown are rarely very cheap, many house hoarders are selling in exchange for gold. I intend to trade for a big house with five rooms and three halls, so I am looking for you to ask, is it appropriate to buy a house now?"
Master Luo spoke with a simple and face.
"Well, Master Luo's house is in Tao City, right?"
"Yes, yes. The train to Qi City only takes four hours or so from there. I go back once every month, " said Master Luo.
"Hm, how much is ts the housing price there now?"
" Four hundred per ping 1 ..." Master Luo's face was a little excited.
"Oh, no wonder, " Zheng Dao was not surprised. Tao City was not a top-tier city, but a county-level city. However, even in county-level cities, the prices of the houses in better areas for the past two years was around three, four thousands to even five, six thousand.
Now that the prices have dropped to four hundred per ping, it was no wonder that an honest man like Master Luo would also think about obtaining one for himself.
A 200 ping house would only cost 80, 000 yuan. If it were before, that amount might not even be enough for the down payment.
The only place where housing prices did not drop but instead rose against the trend, was probably just the beautiful flower that was Qi City.
Why? That was because everyone knew that the Pharos of the East never moved.
If one day, there was suddenly news that Vigilante A no longer returned to his home in Qi City. It is conceivable that the entire housing prices of Qi City would fall to the ground.
