After selecting the Mysterious Valley as a farm to cultivate vitality crops and arranging the Shan Shu family as technical instructors, Fang Ning left all the development of the vitality crop industry to Mr. Zhao and the others.
After all, it was a long-term job, and there was no progress visible in ten and a half days. He didn't have the patience to keep an eye on it every day.
He followed the system and continued his daily routine of opening maps. Of course, the system was still working. He still only came out occasionally to take a look...
This is also a long-term job. Opening a national map is easier said than done. If the system uncle hadn't been infinitely patient and Fang Ning had done it by himself, he wouldn't have been able to do it for three days.
No, after so many days of updating the Taocheng map, several weeks have passed, and I have just reached "trust" and become the third officially opened system map, connected with the Qicheng map.
Fang Ning was just thinking about how to speed up the process. On this day, an email titled "Invitation to the Dark List Challenge" forwarded by Zheng Dao immediately made him interested.
He thought that this matter might speed up the development of the map of China.
After all, the incident with the Elite Nightmare Demon last time turned all the above-ground areas in China into a "friendly" state. The favorability gained by a major incident is far beyond what an ordinary chivalrous act of justice can achieve.
Fang Ning opened the email and the content was as follows:
"Dear Lord Shenlong:
I'm glad to hear that you defeated last year's dark list king. This year's dark list rankings are about to begin. You have been recommended by a big shot and will automatically join the ranks of supreme challengers. You are specially invited to participate.
If you would like to come, please reply to this email and we will send you the time and location for this year's competition.
Note: The reward for the king of the dark list every year is 100 million U.S. dollars, the right to use Paradise Island for one year, and other materials are as follows... Rewards for the remaining two to nine on the dark list:… . The rewards for each win are as follows:…”
System: "Hurry up and participate."
Fang Ning: "Are you really stupid? This is obviously a trap. If you don't come early, you won't come later. We only sent it after we killed Anderson. Wait until I understand the situation."
Fang Ning came to the system cell area. Of course, he was in human form this time. There was something wrong last time. If nothing happened, it would be more comfortable to use human form.
At this time, the appearance of the system cell has changed drastically. It used to have only a few cells, but now it looks like a prison, and it is qualified to be called "Longwei Divine Prison"...
The mottled and solid volcanic rock walls are erected high to isolate the inside and outside, enclosing a large area in the system space.
There is a khaki wooden door on the wall. Only Fang Ning has the right to pass through this wooden door. It seems that it can be destroyed with just a palm, but Fang Ning has tried and there is nothing he can do.
Behind the wooden door, there is a bright main road leading into the "divine prison".
On both sides of the current main road, there are nine dark single cells erected on each side, making a total of eighteen cells.
In addition, on the main road, there are some branch paths leading to other rooms.
Such as the jailer's office, interrogation room, solitary room, education room, canteen...etc. It's just that the cafeteria is empty and there's nothing to eat. These sinners can only endure it now...
The most fully equipped are the interrogation room and the education room. Both of these places are equipped with eighteen kinds of soul torture tools newly invented by Anderson, corresponding to the eighteen kinds of spiritual torture. According to Fang Ning's instructions, those who have tried it are guaranteed to be allowed. Ghosts don't feel fear or pain, but they all get so angry that they have nowhere to vent, and they have no choice but to do anything.
Fang Ning said this, just to let these evil villains feel the anger of the victims' relatives, so that they can know how serious their crimes are. Anderson said that the warden is really too great. So wise...
Fang Ning came outside the jailer's office but did not go in.
Because of Anderson's meritorious service, he has been placed in this larger and wider jailer's office with many bookshelves. It is actually an enlarged version of a single cell.
Although this guy swore allegiance and triggered the system's follower prompt, Fang Ning would not really trust this evil genius. Before Fang Ning became stronger, he would not let him go out alone to meet him.
Anyway, this guy's spiritual thoughts are not restricted by the system. He can use his spiritual thoughts to work remotely, just like the other party's divine thoughts.
As for the other rooms with various names, they are still cells in essence. It's just that the equipment installed in them is different, so they have different functions and are called different names.
"Cellmaster" Anderson: "Oh, it turns out to be your Excellency the Warden. Do you want to hear the report today?"
Fang Ning: "Tell me."
Anderson: "'Longwei Divine Prison' currently has a total of eighteen prisoners, including one pond-level player, two bucket-level players, eight tableware-level players, and seven cup-level players. Currently, all prisoners are in good spirits and are in good spirits. Stable. Report completed."
Fang Ning nodded after hearing this. This guy was very honest. He did not exclude himself from the ranks of prisoners just because of his promotion. The number of prisoners increased a lot, all thanks to the day and night work of the system boss.
Fang Ning: "You are managing well. They will be put to great use soon."
That's right, these sinners are still idle now, because the cheap vitality materials have not been released yet, and allowing their soul bodies to engage in high-intensity activities such as gold mining in games will consume them too quickly, and relying on vitality elixirs to replenish the gains outweighs the losses, so Fang Ning has not yet converted these guys into gold miners.
Of course, they were not completely idle. Whenever the system refreshed the map and the anger was low, Fang Ning would ask Anderson to find an excuse to use the soul torture instrument on these criminals, and the anger would immediately come...
Anderson: "Thank you for the compliment."
Fang Ning: "By the way, Anderson, let me ask you something. Do you know about the Dark List Challenge?"
Anderson said nonchalantly: "Oh, of course I know. Last year, due to the lack of experimental funds and because of being evil to the leader, the supplementary budget applied for was never approved, so I took people there to make a fortune. The bonus was quite large, but that I had people bid for the right to use Paradise Island, and the right to use it was sold for US$800 million in one year, which is much more than the bonus.”
Fang Ning was very surprised when he heard this. Sure enough, Anderson was really the winner of last year's secret list. It seems that as long as all walks of life can reach the top, their ability to attract money will be beyond imagination.
Fang Ning: "Is it dangerous there? What's the background?"
Anderson: "There is no danger. The background is the Dark World Paranormal Arena jointly established by six major international organizations. It is held every year, from the beginning to the end of the year. Players come from all over the world, and even official organizations from various countries will send people to participate secretly. , to see the world.
,
"In terms of excitement, it far exceeds ordinary competitive events. However, it has been secretly restricted by the All-China Federation of Nations and cannot be brought to the public stage. Only some of the top richest people can be invited to watch the competition. The funding scale is not large enough.
"Otherwise, I'm afraid it could take over all sports competitions. Fortunately, now the All-China Federation of Nations is gradually loosening restrictions. In the future, more wealthy people will be allowed to invite people to watch the games. I believe the scale will be even bigger."
Fang Ning thought thoughtfully: "I see. You were the first to win last year. How did you get it?"
Anderson: "This achievement is not worth mentioning in front of the True Dragon. Our opponents until now are just a group of children. They have no way to deal with my Divine Mind Slash. No one can escape like the True Dragon. Each and every one of them could only fight to the death.
"I remember the one that resisted the most, that is, it resisted my eighteen consecutive slashes. If the host had not announced in advance that it would give up, I would have split it in half with the last slash. Originally, I wanted to go there this year to make another big profit. Sure, but don’t you think there was an accident and you came here to stay?”
Fang Ning: "Oh, you continue to stay here well, the warden is gone."
Anderson: "Your Excellency, your Excellency, walk slowly. If you are interested in that competition, I can go out and help you fight in the ring. We can split it nine-to-one, you and I will be fine. Wait, Mr. Warden, please stop. , I don’t want any of it, just let me go out for a walk..."
Fang Ning only left a handsome figure behind: There is no need for you to come out to grab monsters...
As soon as Fang Ning walked out of the system cell area, the system uncle couldn't bear it any longer.
"Go, hurry up. Anderson can easily take first place. They are definitely no match for me. From now on, I will sit on the throne and wait for them every year."
Fang Ning was speechless: "No, don't brag so much. Are you sure you won't overturn? Anderson won the first place because of his Divine Slash. In that kind of arena environment, it is easy to restrain the overwhelming majority." Some opponents.
"But you don't have his attack speed. If you really encounter some difficult characters and you can't defeat them and you can't escape, what will you do?"
System: "Hahaha, host, you are really stupid... Now if I encounter an opponent I can't beat, I will definitely be able to escape easily."
Fang Ning thought for a moment and suddenly realized: "You are really a god of learning in battle. No wonder you valued the legendary skill of 'Coming from a Thousand Miles to Aid' so much and repeatedly emphasized its benefits. That's it.
“The strategic trump card skill ‘Thousand Miles to Aid’ can actually be turned into ‘Thousand Miles to Escape’. As long as the black dog Bailit is prepared to summon the dragon before each battle... "
System: "Hey, host, your awareness in the field of combat has almost caught up with mine..."
Fang Ning: "Hahaha, as long as I, Fang Ning, want to learn something, I really can't learn it if I don't have it."
System: "In this case, you go and learn the "Heaven and Earth Righteous Qi Jue". It just so happens that the yellow dog Xue Ba has already learned it, and Zheng Dao is about to learn it. It's just you and the black dog Bailit, one person and one dog. I've been procrastinating, but now I'm going to start learning together. With the help from thousands of miles away, I need the righteousness tank even more."
Fang Ning: "... Just learn, how can I be inferior to a dog?"
… …
In Tianhui Manor, a suburb of Jicheng, New Year's Day has passed and the New Year has arrived. In the special training academy run by the truth, competitions are also being held. As the first test of the new year, it is also a summary of last year.
Brother and sister Qiao Zishan, instructor Hai Lan, and her brother Haicheng were all sitting in the audience, watching the competition between these new talents on the stage.
These young talents are all handsome, about twenty years old, full of energy, and masculine.
All of them have a professional background, and they cooperate with each other in a systematic and orderly manner. No one is acting haphazardly.
Some of the competition scenes are dull, and some are exciting, but any one of them can crush many stragglers outside in the eyes of the audience, of course excluding some masters.
These people represent the future of truth-clarification, they are the absolute core, they enjoy the best treatment, and they will also bear the heaviest responsibilities in the future.
What restrains them is not only military law, but also the soul prohibition that everyone voluntarily accepts. Those who do not accept it will naturally not be able to stay and can only be assigned to be basic team members.
Qiao Zishan watched it for a while and was very satisfied. These people were highly talented, extremely hard-working, and had the most scientific training methods. Their strength improved very quickly. In his opinion, there were a few top people who were even as strong as him.
He turned to Haicheng who was standing aside and asked, "Uncle Cheng, in your opinion, what is their strength?"
Haicheng glanced at it, nodded and said: "These people are all geniuses selected from all over China. Their vitality cultivation qualifications are at least double C level. At this time, many of them have reached C level in real strength. Three of them should be no better than you, Zishan." That's bad. If I don't count my divine vision, there are more people who are stronger than me.
"It's just that they still lack actual combat experience. If we were to go out to fight now and face a character like Anderson, it would probably be very bad. Without our combat experience, they would probably choose to rush directly into the battlefield and die in vain."
