Chapter 514: Picking Up a Gold Nugget

With the System’s high speed, Fang Ning got his answer before long.

The Southeastern Lunaette was a flat ground with no craters present. If it were on Earth, it would definitely be an excellent piece of land for industry and agriculture.

Unfortunately, this was not Earth.

There was no possibility for ordinary people to survive here. The biosphere was not something that was easy to build.

There was only abundant vitality here. Only a few powerhouses would be able to survive here.

In a sense, they had evolved non-human physiological structures through cultivation. They transferred their vitality and reserved their magical energy, which served as a source of energy to drive their body.

Although the surface was flat, if one walked barefooted without consideration of the hundred-degree high temperature, even the sharp gravel and lunar soil would cause the soles on one’s feet to split open.

This place was not the human-friendly Earth.

From this plain, a huge creature climbed out from the ground.

“Who is it, that dares disturb my slumber…”

A yellow and black rock-shaped monster rose slowly from under the hard lunar surface.

It opened its eyes and looked around, a very dissatisfied expression on its face.

Many of the powerhouses that divided the territory already gathered around.

They had thought that this place was an empty land. Even if there happened to be relics around, it would be the kind where no one knew if they were authentic or not.

They never thought that there would be living creatures here. In this case, it would be troublesome. This was their territory, so the land that they had split amongst themselves no longer counted.

“Who are you?” Someone asked cautiously.

“I am a Rock Immortal. No, who turned the place I lived into flat ground? I remember clearly that before I slept, there was a sphere here…” The black and yellow rock monster looked around and immediately discovered the clue. It then used a bulky rock arm to touch its head while speaking in suspicion.

“This guy doesn’t seem to be very smart.” A powerhouse used spiritual telepathy to say.

As a matter of fact, they all communicated spiritually. Since there was no air on the Lunaette, sound naturally could not be transmitted.

“It seems so, perhaps it can be fooled… Wait, the Venerable Dragon God is here. Let’s see what he does first.” The crowd stopped commenting and looked towards the rushing Vigilante A.

They watched as Vigilante A’s expressionless face flash with disappointment and surprise after appraising the yellow and black rock monster.

“You’ve always been here?” He asked lightly.

“Yes. A long, long time ago, I was left here by someone. That person made me sleep here and told me that I will one day wake up automatically. Could this be that day?” The yellow and black rock monster said in confusion.

Hearing this, Fang Ning could not help but remind, “Sir, something’s wrong. There wasn’t any life when we came to the moon last year personally to check. Even the Dragon God said so.”

“That means this thing isn’t living.” Sir System said indifferently.

“What? It’s not a living being?” No wonder even the Dragon God couldn’t identify it. So, what’s it supposed to be?” Fang Ning said in surprise.

“It’s an artifact…” The System said happily.

“Eh, you can’t be thinking of obtaining it right? That thing’s too big, I can’t afford to raise it.” Fang Ning subconsciously evaded.

“You don’t have to raise it. It should be able to earn its own living. Otherwise, it could at least work for us.” Sir System said excitedly.

“Do what you want, then.” Fang Ning had no more oppositions after hearing that he did not have to use his own money. He reminded again, “Our number of artifacts are increasing, but I don’t see you using them either. Don’t you find that wasteful?”

“Watch what you say. There are no useless artifacts, only artifacts that are not yet time to be used.”

“That’s reasonable.” Fang Ning agreed.

Vigilante A’s expression glazed over for a moment before saying, “This place is now under the jurisdiction of Earth. It has changed greatly from a sphere to a flat ground. I think it’s not suitable for you to continue living here anymore.”

“Oh, is that so? Then, where should I go to sleep?” The yellow and black rock monster reached out a hand to rub its head, and said distressingly.

“Well, it really isn’t very smart. It should be easy to fool.”The powerhouses told each other spiritually.

“Unfortunately, we don’t have the capability to bring it under our control. It looks like it’ll be a good candidate for guarding gates.” Someone lamented.

“Hmph, unless you have the ability to beat this person in front of you, you had better just stand back and watch obediently.” Another person said disdainfully.

“Vigilante A can only show off for now. Our leader has already felt his Lake-level bottleneck loosening, and will soon break through to Lake-level. When that time comes, he won’t be able to suppress us anymore.”

“You feel that way too? I also had a sudden feeling after waking up today. I think I’ll break through soon as well.”

“In that case, we should think it over carefully.” Some people made eye contact with each other.

These powerhouses were all able to cultivate steadily by benefiting from the order Vigilante A maintained.

However, they did feel dissatisfied with him deep down in their hearts. That was his existence prevented them from being able to fully exploit the weak.

Now that the Earth’s Heavenly Axiom was increasing the strength limit, people like them who could communicate with heaven and earth immediately it. The speed of their strength progression increased by a large amount, and the difficulty of breaking through a bottleneck also decreased by a large margin.

Under these circumstances, they, who had been suppressed by Vigilante A, would naturally want to turn over, rise up, and forcefully take back the rights and benefits that felt they should control.

That included this stupid beast in front of them. It was one of their coveted goals, but unfortunately, they could not fight him for it.

If Vigilante A was no longer able to suppress them, there would inevitably be a fight here, where whoever was the strongest would be qualified to take this stupid beast.

Of course, among the powerhouses, there were also those who could look at all this calmly and restrain their greed.

At this time, they heard Vigilante A lightly say, “I have an arcane realm that is very large and quiet. It’ll be suitable for you to stay there, but what do you think about that?”

“That’s good. Bring me there now.” The yellow and black rock monster said, pleased.

“Eh, it was convinced that easily? What’s the difference between this and those lucky, ordinary people who find gold nuggets in the mountains?” The powerhouses’ eyes glinted red, and several of them immediately turned pink-eyed with jealousy. 1

Just by judging from the aura of this huge rock monster’s strength, they knew that it was at least Lake-level, or perhaps even stronger. It also had low IQ and seemed to be pure and innocent, as if it were a five-year-old child.

It was strong but had low intelligence. Beings like those were most easy to use.

For beings like those, it would be influenced by whoever talks and interacts with it first.

Like a child, it would instinctively believe in the people that accompanied him the most.

Unfortunately, Vigilante A snatched the first step and managed to capture this yellow and black rock monster for himself.

At this time, an old monk in a yellow robe said gratifyingly, “It is a great achievement for the Venerable One to find a place for this Stone Immortal. I believe that with the Venerable One’s teachings, this Stone Immortal would surely become the backbone for the righteous.”

The powerhouses looked and saw that it was the Upper Realm’s Tianjing Fawang who spoke, and pretended, “Fawang is right. With the Venerable Dragon God’s teachings, this Stone Immortal would be a blessing to us humans in the future.”

In fact, they were all upset and jealous in their hearts. They hated that they were not strong enough to be able to snatch that chance.

They did not even think about what kind of monster this creature would grow into in the future under their nurturing.

All they knew was that Vigilante A, relying on his tyrannical strength, had just picked up a gold nugget right before their eyes.

At this time, Fang Ning reminded the System again, “I think this rock monster still has a child’s mind. One takes on the attributes of one’s associates. Be careful not to bring it astray.”

“Watch what you say. I’m a Hero System who always puts chivalry first. It’ll learn from me to grow up to be a good person.” The System said in dissatisfaction.

“You’re stingy and miserly, farming monsters is second nature to you, and you’re also cold-hearted and unfeeling… I don’t think it’ll be a good idea to let you raise it. Forget it, I’ll ask Cang Gongzi to raise it instead,” Fang Ning looked from start to end and found out the details of the yellow and black rock monster, and felt that he could not allow the System to fool around.

“Hmph, fine then, let the little hamster take care of it. It’ll save my time too.” The System could not refute, and so ended up compromising. After all, it was an honest System.
