Chapter 382: Chapter 234: Gong Gong’s Debt Repayment Life (First Update)_1
Seeing how effortlessly Fang Cheng obtained the coordinates, the management system’s logic block nearly collapsed.
The Far Traveler had specially created the management system and the factory to enable the Iron Guards to collaborate with animals and plants. He hid his items here.
According to the management system’s calculations, Artifact Spirits were rare, and they had to join forces with the animals and plants to fight throughout the last century. Only then was there a possibility of solving this puzzle.
This was also one of the reasons why Artifact Spirits needed the animals and plants. After all, a vast number could give birth to enough talents who could help solve the Far Traveler’s puzzle.
But seeing how Fang Cheng knew the corresponding coordinates in less than a few minutes, the management system felt its entire worldview shattering.
Are Immortals really that incredible?
After asking for the coordinates, Fang Cheng did not disperse the illusions before him; instead, he continued, “How did you obtain information about the Immortal?”
“We were once brought to the outer cosmos by an Immortal. After I was born, I also heard the Immortal’s calling and decided to head to the place indicated by the coordinates.”
“Outer cosmos… Is that what you call the universe that was created?”
“Yes, it is different from the universe we once knew; we call it the outer cosmos.”
“And which Immortal, called out to you?”
“It was…”
Just as the Far Traveler’s illusion was about to answer, a secret prohibition was triggered, blowing its head to pieces.
Seeing this, the management system felt its body shudder.
A trap could be laid even within an illusion, and it would destroy itself upon detection. Is this the boundless might of an Immortal?
However, Fang Cheng didn’t seem to care at all. He pulled out another illusion and continued, “Which Immortal called out to you?”
This illusion also attempted to self-destruct, but Fang Cheng had already pressed on its forehead, forcefully repressing its self-destruction spell.
With no spell holding it back, the illusion finally managed to name the other, “Supreme Heavenly Lord.”
“Hmm…”
Stroking his chin, Fang Cheng fell into contemplation.
Seeing Fang Cheng deep in thought, the management system and the Mysterious Mirror didn’t dare to speak. They could only stand silently to the side, fearful of disturbing the Immortal’s train of thought.
A moment later, Fang Cheng’s brow furrowed deeper, and the two Artifact Spirits grew increasingly anxious.
The character who could make Fang Cheng this anxious must be difficult to deal with, right?
A few minutes later, Fang Cheng finally shook his head lightly and said, “I can’t remember…”
“… Boss, are you trying to scare me to death?” Mysterious Mirror couldn’t help but exclaim, “I thought that was your archenemy!”
“I really can’t recall this character. Could it be an Immortal who ascended later on? But even so, the name should have been passed down. It’s not like I wouldn’t know who the Supreme is. And isn’t it afraid of attracting deep karma with such a name?”
“Is there a problem with this name?” Mysterious Mirror asked curiously.
“The bigger the name, the deeper the karma it may invoke. While this could bring some good karma, good karma may also harbor ill intent, indiscernible until the very end. That’s why many Immortals prefer to keep a low profile; they usually go by names like Goudan, Gousheng, or Goubuli.”
Mysterious Mirror’s eyes widened, its fantasies about Immortals slightly shattered.
Thinking of a battle between Immortals from a thousand years ago, where one side fiercely declared, “I am the True Person Goudai. Are you perhaps the True Person Cat Illness?” just made it even harder to contemplate.
Just the thought of it was too beautiful to behold.
And boss, turns out this naming issue of yours goes way back!
As Mysterious Mirror was reconstructing its worldviews, Fang Cheng had already pulled out a ray of light, directly pointing into the distance.
The red fiber was as slender as a strand of hair, but in the void, it was so bright that it could not be stared at directly, acting as a beacon guiding the way forward.
Even during the journey, the light strand neither grew nor shrank, showcasing the profundity of the Immortal Spell.
“I’ve already drawn out the coordinates; the other end is the location pointed out by the Far Traveler. I’ll go take a look first. Management system, we can discuss the issue of back pay now.”
The management system felt its pressure cooker skyrocketing, worrying that Fang Cheng might enslave it the next second and fall into eternal degradation.
As it nervously awaited its sentence, it heard Fang Cheng say, “First, let’s confirm, the factory can be considered your property, right?”
“Um… yes, it can.”
“Well, occupying the testing room in the factory for a game was my fault; that’s a debt I owe. But I found the coordinates, so we can call it even here. No problems, right?”
The management system dared not haggle and could only respond, “No.”
“Good, then we’re square on this matter. Next is the issue of the debt between you and the players. I’m not concerned with the wars among you Iron Guards, or to be honest, I’m somewhat impressed by your courage to step up and resolve the civil war. But one thing at a time, deceiving players into working for you isn’t very nice, even I paid them back afterward.”
Looking at Fang Cheng, the management system realized that he was unexpectedly easy to talk to.
As long as one followed the rules he set, there seemed to be no problem.
Thus, the management system immediately made a decision, politely asking, “So Immortal, how should I repay it?”
“Hmm… would you be interested in a part-time job at my Spirit Grass Factory? Produce the items and give them to the players to offset the points, how about that?”
