So Fang Ning stayed in the valley and practiced quietly.
The uncle was very good at it. He could only see the sun rise and set. He didn’t even have an electronic watch, and he didn’t know how the years went by.
He could only use the most primitive recording method, recording once every dawn.
If he had remembered it wrong before, it was impossible now.
After all, he always got up early to practice and never got up late one day.
Of course, this is also due to the "Heaven and Earth Righteousness Technique" exercise, which requires getting up early every day to practice and feel the righteousness of the natural world. It is not enough to stay in retreat.
In the past, Fang Ning would have thought it unbelievable that he had to persist in this kind of life for ten years.
Later, he gradually got used to it. He thought about it, didn't he also study hard for ten years before he was eighteen years old
Except for a few holidays, don’t you have to get up early and start studying at 7 o’clock? It was okay in elementary school, but in junior high school, I started to have evening self-study and early morning self-study.
In his time, everything was based on examinations and there was no quality education.
He just knew that if this person didn't put himself under pressure, he really didn't know how much potential he had.
When he recorded the 400th sunrise, a system prompt sounded.
"The host has successfully practiced the "Heaven and Earth Righteousness Technique" and has reached the intermediate stage."
When Fang Ning heard the reminder, she just faced it calmly, without any worries or joy.
As long as you work hard, you will gain something.
"Your gains are not small. You have reached the intermediate level in more than a year. It seems that you really have hope of completing this ultimate test." The uncle said in great surprise.
This is the first time in more than a year that the uncle has spoken.
Fang Ning knew that the uncle would only show up if he found that he had hope of passing the test.
He said calmly: "Actually, it's nothing. Everything was within my expectations. I already had this potential, but I just never realized it."
"Oh, is that so?" the uncle said thoughtfully.
Fang Ning had a vague feeling that the uncle seemed a little strange this time, but he didn't ask any more questions and just continued to immerse himself in cultivation.
The 800th day and night passed, and the system prompt sound appeared again.
"The host has successfully practiced the "Heaven and Earth Righteousness Technique" and has reached an advanced stage."
After hearing this, Fang Ning's mood remained unchanged.
"You are really capable. It seems that I really misunderstood you before. I always thought that you couldn't hold up the wall with mud, but I didn't expect that you are actually quite powerful." The uncle said sincerely.
"Haha, it's nothing. The main reason is that my previous performance was a bit excessive. After all, most ordinary people are like this. This is human nature." Fang Ning said lightly.
"Oh, is that so?" The uncle seemed to be touched.
Finally, on the 3200th day and night, which was the ninth year, which was less than ten years. After all, ten years are at least 3650 days, Fang Ning heard the final reminder.
"The host has made great achievements in practicing the "Heaven and Earth Righteousness Technique" and has reached the legendary level."
"Oh, I don't seem very happy after hearing this reminder. Everything just fell into place." Fang Ning stood in front of the wooden house, holding a thick book in his hand and said calmly.
That's right, that book is the reprinted version that the uncle got for him. It's almost as tall as his shoulders... It's not that the book is too tall, it's Fang Ning, who is 1.68 meters tall, and she's not that tall to begin with.
"Well, now that you have achieved great success in cultivation, I won't hide it from you. In fact, you can end the trusteeship, and my mission can be considered accomplished." The uncle said quietly.
"What?" Fang Ning immediately felt bad when he heard this, and his mentality was suddenly brought back to its original state.
He hurriedly asked: "What is happening outside? You haven't consulted me once in nine years. Have you taken the wrong path? No, it is clearly a contract with the gods. If humans do not migrate, they will take the initiative after thirty years. What kind of rival should you not have on earth? Even if you don’t ask me, there won’t be any big problems with your behavior pattern.”
"Alas, we underestimated the gods too much. They are gods after all. The virus and soul fever you were infected with before seemed to be on you, but it was actually aimed at me. After all, it is a god, although it is just a seemingly different person. The insignificant virus is actually a loophole in my rules. We really have to underestimate these gods in the upper world. If they can become gods, they must master at least one of the rules of heaven. Their understanding of the rules is far beyond Our imagination." The uncle said very sadly.
When Fang Ning heard this, he immediately felt like a thunderbolt struck him. The old man who always defeated the enemy was about to die
He asked again and again in horror: "How could this happen? Tongzi, what's wrong with you?"
"To put it simply, I am just like Bai Shixin before. From now on, I will be a useless system and can only be a salted fish. In the future, not only will I not be able to take care of you, I will not be able to help you brush monsters and practice martial arts. In addition, in order to maintain my existence, I will have to consume Your many skills and the energy and magic you practice every day must be supplemented by mine. Otherwise, I will continue to decline until I reach your level." The uncle said word by word.
Only then did Fang Ning fully understand. Wasn't the old man going to degenerate from the hosting system into a consultant who absorbed the protagonist's skills
Although he was very frightened, his practice of "Heaven and Earth Righteousness Technique" was not in vain, and he quickly calmed down.
"In this case, there is nothing we can do. Fortunately, you are okay after all. As long as you are still alive, there is still hope. Let's take it slowly. I will definitely work hard to practice in the future. At worst, I will also learn to make alchemy and give you more pills to make up for it. If mana fails, we still have property and land that can be rented out. Just spend money to buy medicine. After all, I have integrated a secret realm of heaven, which will definitely be a major commercial distribution center in the future. Just collecting tolls will be enough to support you. "Fang Ning analyzed each item one by one, trying to comfort the depressed uncle.
"Well, no wonder you can unlock the three chivalrous achievements. You are indeed a person who pays attention to friendship, and you are definitely not one of those utilitarian and vulgar people." Hearing this, the uncle was immediately very moved. He hesitated for a while, and finally said, "In this case, then I I’ll tell you the only solution.”
"What's the solution? Come on, I'll help you do it even if it's extremely difficult." Fang Ning asked quickly.
"That virus only attacks loopholes in my rules, but it couldn't have predicted it. A long time ago, I transferred part of my rules to that broken book, your precious game book. Although I am paralyzed now, I can still Continue to transfer other valid rules to it and let it have most of my functions. In this case, you can still be managed and have a small system that will obey your words from now on." The uncle said seriously.
"Then what will happen to you?" Fang Ning asked with concern.
"I will naturally disappear slowly. After all, I am a collection of rules. After the rules are transferred, I will have no basis for my existence," the uncle said quietly, "but you don't need to worry, I am not a life in the first place. There was no me in the past." appeared, and I will no longer exist in the future, everything will just return to the starting point."
"How is this possible!" Fang Ning immediately refused without hesitation, "I was the salted fish host in the past, and naturally you can also be the salted fish system in the future. Although you have become a waste, so what? Do I Is Fang Ning the kind of utilitarian person who would decide the depth of friendship based on a person's value?"
"Uh... Are you sincere in what you say? I don't have the ability to peek into your thoughts now, and I can't tell whether your words are coming from the heart." The uncle said weakly.
"Of course I am sincere. Although I am lazy, I have always been a person who values friendship. In the game, friendship is worth at least 99 points. I will never abandon you because you become a salty fish. Yours." Fang Ning said decisively.
"Then you have to think carefully. If you choose the latter, you can still have the opportunity to continue to become a saint and become an ancestor. If you maintain my existence, not only will you no longer have the title of Knight A, but you will also practice much slower than other peers. , by that time, there will be countless people stepping on you to rise to power. Even if you make Knight A disappear, they will still be angry at your true identity and those innocent people." The uncle reminded seriously.
Fang Ning said reassuringly: "You don't have to worry about this problem. We have already planned our escape route and placed all important people in the secret realm. Before those enemies have the ability to retaliate, I will never let them catch up with us." .”
At this time, the system prompt suddenly appeared.
(The host completes the obsession "The system cannot be lost" and triggers the specific and unique chivalrous achievement 'Never Leave': Obtains the mythical skill "Man-Machine Integration". Skill effect: After activating the skill, the host soul will be integrated with the system for a short time. Has system characteristics and ignores any soul attacks.)
"Tongzi, you have really turned bad..." Fang Ning said quietly.
Seeing the real system prompt appear, he didn't know where he was. This was the final fear test!
What he fears most is, of course, that the system master who has always been in charge of him will suddenly leave him one day.
This was the thing he feared the most.
"Well, this is breaking the rules and ruining my good deeds." When the uncle saw this, he was immediately embarrassed. "I have no choice but to tell you the truth. In fact, in less than ten years, you have not cultivated to the legendary level at all. You have only consumed I haven’t accomplished anything in practice for a month. Those reminder sounds are all sound effects made by me... "
"You don't need to explain, I know there is no such good thing!" Fang Ning was indifferent to this, "You actually cheated me like this today, just wait, I will take revenge sooner or later."
"Uh, slip away, slip away..." When the uncle saw that the host was really angry, he ran away quickly.
At this time, the valley disappeared, the system space reappeared, and Fang Ning returned to the starting point.
