Fang Ning was still a softie after all.

Within half a minute, the Black Dog returned with triumph in its eyes, proudly proclaiming that it has notified Zheng Dao to call Chef Fang. The Fang Restaurant’s chef team was now rus.h.i.+ng over…

Initially, he wanted to chasticize the Black Dog’s disrespectful behavior of not waiting for his boss’ speech to finish before taking off, but Fang Ning decided to forgive the dumb dog after he saw its ‘Please praise me’ face.

Regardless, the dog did leave to act on his command. It’s just that its actions were too quick like his name 1 .

He had no other choice. Who else would love his dog if not him? It’s good that it was slightly dumb anyways, he would face more pressure tricking the dog if it were a smart one. Thus, Fang Ning coughed twice before he continued, “Ahem, Brett, your excellent proactiveness is something worthy to be praised, but next time remember to listen and wait for me to finish my words before you execute your orders.”

Xue Ba the Yellow Dog sent a look of despise to its pal that has just completed its sprinting exercise. “Brett, you dog, look at yourself. Look at how impatient you are. You’re getting reprimanded here, you know? Can’t you be as reliable as me?”

Due to the fights that had over food for the past two days, Xue Ba the Yellow Dog was still looking to establish its position as the leader of the two dogs, even if they were brother-in-arms. At least, he’ll take the first bite off every bone and meat they come across…

Thus, it would occasionally diss the Black Dog in effort to make the other canine submit to it…

Brett the Black Dog sent a look of disdain back to Xue Ba. “Excuse you, it’s evident that Master is complimenting me, okay? Master even said I have excellent proactiveness! I’ll run even faster next time.”

Xue Ba the Yellow Dog deadpanned, ” Look at how ignorant you are, you unlearned and unskilled dog. Do you not know that the point of a human’s speech is located after the word ‘but’?”

Brett the Black Dog rolled its eyes. It used its critical hit, “Yeah, even if your genius canine a*s knows better than me, you’re still a bachelor dog just like me!”

Xue Ba the Yellow Dog retorted, “We don’t have a common language here. Pay attention to what the Master is saying, quick.”

Brett the Black Dog gave him a look. “You’re the one that kept sending me weird signals that you couldn’t bear your loneliness.”

Xue Ba the Yellow Dog spat a mouthful of blood. “Where did you learn all these ridiculous phrases from? You don’t even read anyway! You must’ve ripped them off the lines on human television. Your usage of the phrase is so inaccurate that you mustn’t tell anyone that you know me.”

Fang Ning couldn’t understand Dog Language, so of course he wouldn’t understand this highly intellectual conversation that took place in an exchange of looks between the two dogs either. Without realizing what was going on, Fang Ning rambled on, “Yellow Dog Xue Ba, your performance is stellar this time around. You helped me to successfully locate the Insect Mother and Insect Demon. That led us to meet up with Bodhisattva Spirit King, and we managed to completely exterminate the Insect Demon from the world with his help. After some consideration, I have decided to give you a big reward.”

After he heard his master’s clear praise and the big reward, Xue Ba the Yellow Dog grinned from ear to ear, its tail wagging uncontrollably in glee.

Brett the Black Dog sent a disgusted look right back at its companion. “Can you maintain your composure? You’re even wagging your tail like an ordinary dog! I don’t want to know you anymore now. Which backwards village are you from? You must not have belonged to the n.o.ble families of us Earthly Hounds.”

Xue Ba the Yellow Dog didn’t even return the look. Instead, it arched its head high, wagging its tail proudly as it entirely ignored the Black Dog’s existence. It’s as if it was portraying the ultimate ‘Jealousy has no use on me’ look, and the smugness has the Black Dog grinding its teeth in frustration.

In the end, Fang Ning was not like the System. With his poor sense of surrounding, Fang Ning had no idea that his two subordinates were just about to bite each other’s heads off right before his eyes as he gloated. Instead, he continued. “This big reward is a method of cultivation that I will personally pa.s.s to you. It is extremely valuable, and one of its kind in the world. However, you can only learn it if the qualities of your mind is suitable for this cultivation. Once you have successfully cultivated it, it’ll be amazing as a defense, and it would also greatly increase your personal charisma. You’ll look very reliable and trustable.”

Fang Ning took reference from the usual tactics bosses use when they give out rewards to fully motivate their subordinates. First, he started by talking about the employee’s contribution. Then, he moved on to the value of the reward…

What the two dogs truly seek was girls instead of power. Fang Ning knew that from the start, which is the reason why he added the last part of the sentence. Cunning one, he was…

Xue Ba the Yellow Dog was almost drooling by the end of it, and once again sent a smug look to Brett the Black Dog. Then, it answered without hesitation, “Master, your humble canine was always a helpful fellow even in his previous world. I never bullied the innocent, and always remained righteous and pure even when I came across other beautiful female canines. My mind would definitely be a fit for the cultivation.

Brett the Black Dog also drooled at the reward. It couldn’t help but wonder, if the Master was to reward him as well, would it mean that he would also make the female canines feel more secure when they’re around him? Would they rely on him more? If that was real, then he would no longer need to worry about being a bachelor dog anymore! Next time, he must also rush to contribute and compete against the Yellow Dog. He would never sit back and let the Yellow Dog take all the credit anymore.

Fang Ning took another glance at the dogs expression. Alright, that’s enough motivation for today. Time to give out the awards!

He leapt into the System s.p.a.ce and started calling Sir System, “Start printing the ill.u.s.trated version of the Atmospheric Morality Technique! You’ll be able to inference that quickly as long as you have enough Experience Points, right?”

The System Notification chimed right after he stopped speaking.

[The System has expended a large amount of EXP to successfully theorize the complete version of the Atmospheric Morality Technique.]

[The System has expended a large amount of EXP to successfully theorize the complete version of the True Bodhi Tactics.]

Fang Ning was at a loss of words. “I just wanted one Atmospheric Morality Technique. How generous you must be to give me two at once! You must’ve been waiting for me for a very long time. However, I would never learn the True Bodhi Tactic this week even if you gave it to me now. We’ll only talk about this after my holiday.”

The System didn’t even bother to answer. Soon after that, two slams were heard on the table in the System Cyber Cafe. Two thick books fell from the sky.

Fang Ning took only the book t.i.tled Atmospheric Morality Technique, his arms straining as he held it. So freaking heavy and thick! Calling it a brick might be too much, but cement board would most definitely fit the description.

The System only spoke after it placed the two books down. “Judging from what you just said, you’re going to teach them the Atmospheric Morality Technique, no?”

Fang Ning affirmed. “Yup. Is there any problems?”

The System answered, “I used System principles and expended a large amount of EXP to theorize the complete version of these scriptures. These are the perfect versions available in existence, and if I were to explain it using Xue Ba’s words, it meant that these scriptures would contain Maxims within them. Although the loyalty of your followers is verified and they would never leak even half a word without your permission, their abilities are still too low. If they were captured, they might be able to obtain the original text of the scripture using some methods of cultivation. That would finally cause the scripture to land in hands outside of our own. Did you consider the potential risk that might come from that?”

Fang Ning was calm when he answered. “Would it be possible that I didn’t consider that when someone of your intelligence managed to think of that? Also, have I mentioned how your intelligence would become normal when the discussion involves cultivation and leveling up?”

The System was confused. “Cut down the nonsense! If you really understood the risk, why didn’t you hesitate even for a bit when you thought of teaching them about the technique?”

Fang Ning heaved a long sigh, his face solemn and dark. “There’s no other choice. I don’t want to see the people who treat me sincerely die a wrong death in this new world. Before this, I was an ordinary man who had no power to even speak of protection. Then, you appeared. I was still helpless when you were still a youngling, so I set it aside, refusing to think about it.”

“However, you’re a Sir now, and you’re on equal grounds with the Big Bosses. I also managed to give you a Morality Shelter Skill, and Morality Shelter would be able to protect both ourselves, our allies, and followers as long as our Morality Reserve is enough. To you, they might just be people who pa.s.sed the principle’s verification of loyalty and favorability, but to me, they’re people who sincerely want the best for me. As long as they could successfully cultivate the Atmospheric Morality Technique, we would be able to store much more Morality daily in our Morality Reserve daily, which would further ensure their safety. Those risks you said remain only as risks, and it’s not like they’re entirely unavoidable. It’s that simple.”

The System was shocked. “You… You would consider that? I… I feel…”

Fang Ning deadpanned, “You’re not even a human, how is it possible for you to be so touched that you can’t speak?”

The System defended himself. “B*lls.h.i.+t, I’m not touched! I’m just saying that you being emotional might trigger another hidden setting…”

Sir System’s senses were really accurate now, as right after it finished speaking, the System Notifications appeared.

[The Host has completed Obsession: Protect What You Want To Protect, and has triggered a Heroic Achievement: Unparalleled Affection. The System obtained a Legendary Skill: Thousand-mile a.s.sistance. Skill description: When an ally or a follower faces a fatal threat, the Maps in the area will be forced to activate temporarily for 24 hours. The System can choose to expend a large amount of Morality Points and teleport to a specific spot nearby said ally or follower for rescue efforts. The amount of Morality Points expended will depend on the distance and the obstacles during the teleportation.)

Fang Ning blinked dumbly. “What do you think about the Skill Effect? At least we won’t need to worry about our teammates mistakenly walking into a group of monsters and causing an unexpected team wipeout.”

The System continued, “The benefits are much more than that. So it’s true, then; any triggered hidden settings will never be unsatisfactory. Previously, we managed an early activation of the Morality Interface, and it should be clear to you how valuable that was to us.”

Fang Ning nodded, “Of course. Without it, we wouldn’t be able to turn into a dragon even after we learnt the Dragonization Ability, effectively rendering the skill useless. Then, we would have no chance in defeating those Big Bosses! We wouldn’t be able to break through their defenses.”

“The real value of this skill was almost similar to the Morality Interface. You’ll see that in the future,” said the System, “Alright. Atmospheric Morality Technique only cultivates Morality, and it is not our exclusive skill as the Qiao Family also has the ability to do so too. By teaching that to your subordinates, you’re able to get a Legendary Skill with unlimited potential. I am willing to agree to that now. Next time, don’t make your own decisions without consulting me. I will never share the core martial arts with anyone else. If it somehow was exposed, we’ll be specifically targeted. It will be too dangerous for us then.”

Fang Ning replied, “Do I seem like I need your guidance on that? I never once mentioned anything about the Dragonization Ability.”

The System said, “Even if you were to mention about it, I would never agree to that… Ah, Host, when you go on and become a teacher later, please keep this solemn face of yours to yourself. It’s so far away from how Vigilante A usually acts that you’ll most likely scare the two dogs out there. They’re already used to the expressionless Vigilante A, you see.”

Fang Ning coughed, “Excuse me, how would they be shocked at my solemn expression that appears when I care for them? Their loyalty towards me would only skyrocket!”

Although he said so, Fang Ning still schooled his expression back to his default face after Sir System’s reminder. He only regained control over Vigilante A’s body after he took out that Atmospheric Morality Technique from the System s.p.a.ce.

Xue Ba’s eyes shone in excitement when it saw its Master holding such a thick slab of book. Its tail wagged even more violently, as if it was cheering and rejoicing over it. It almost blurted “Let me see!” at the sight.

On the other hand, Brett took a few steps back and hid its head between its two front paws, as if it did not notice anything that was happening before it.
