After President Zhao arrived at Fang Ningâs home, Fang Ning invited him in for a drink.
President Zhao graciously rejected his offer, saying that since Fang Ning had just been discharged, and that he should rest early and didnât want to be a bother, so he would visit next time.
Once Fang Ning, being a homebody, heard what President Zhao said, he really only stood by the road to bid President Zhao goodbye, before watching President Zhaoâs car leave. Were it somebody else with better networking skills, even if they were coughing madly, they would have insisted on President Zhao staying for a cup of tea to discuss the economy and investments, so that they would be able to learn from and grow closer to this senior from the business industry.
The Rolls Royce sped off into the distance.
In the car, as President Zhao drove, he spoke, âYao Yao, this son-in-law I picked for you isnât too bad, right? Without discussing his net worth, which isnât all that bad from ours, heâs also an awakened individual, which means his ability could be passed down to his children, thus ensuring a few generations of fortune.
âHis character is even better. Despite suddenly earning a lot of money and not having anyone to tie him down, he doesnât splurge a lot. Heâs unlike the other youngsters who have picked up terrible habits.
âAlthough he fainted because of anger at the Qi familyâs banquet, which was quite embarrassing to watch, it shows that he isnât cunning or has violent tendencies. With your personality, he wonât be getting angry too. Wait until you get to taste his cooking, then youâll know just how capable he is.
âAs for his power or whatever; I was quite worried about it when that b*stard spoke up during that banquet a few nights ago, but after your mother said what she did, I wasnât worried anymore. You see, your father treats you so well, Iâve considered everything for you.â
Liu Yao who was seated quietly in the back, spoke up after hearing her fatherâs words, âMother said all these tooâŠâ
President Zhao turned a bit to face his ear towards his daughter, âWhat did you say? The carâs engine is too loud so I couldnât hear you clearly, Yao Yao. Repeat yourselfâŠâ
âOh, I said you were right, fatherâŠâ
President Zhao nodded his head in satisfaction, his wifeâs words echoing in his brain, and suddenly an inexplicable confidence appeared on his face.
Fang Ning immediately delegated the preparations for President Zhaoâs feast to his manager, Zhao Ying, to handle. She was to arrange the feast for this plutocrat of Qi City, and the System would handle the cooking on that day. Matters that were related to the development of the company would, of course, not be rejected by Zhao Ying, since she doesnât exactly lack a brain. It wasnât some personal matter that involved accompanying the president to some gala anyways.
As for Fang Ning, he was busy thinking up ways to add more Aggro Bars. He couldnât even spend time on his daily activities like his novels and games. He only occasionally appeared in the resource management online game where he was the leader of a guild so he could avoid his guild members leaving.
Sadly, the hidden settings were called hidden settings for a reason. They couldnât be triggered so easily and one couldnât exactly see them, either. It all depended on fateâŠ
â Aiya 1 , I really canât think of anything. Iâve been thinking so much these past two days my brain is starting to ache. What if I get a cerebral infarctionâŠ,â complained Fang Ning.
âOh, then youâd better stop for now. The last time you used your brain too much, you gained that delusion of persecution Obsession and triggered a hidden setting. I thought that maybe if I let you get stuck, you might come up with an Obsession that would allow the System to gain more Aggro Bars, once again triggering a hidden setting. It seems that it isnât so easy. Iâll help you cook to repay your favor first, then you can continue cultivating your ObsessionâŠâ
Fang Ning was about to vomit blood, âDidnât you just make a difficult decision to stop thinking about these troublesome problems that are hard to fix?â
âYes, Iâm not thinking about them. Iâm only presenting you with a problem, but you have to figure out the answer.â
Fang Ning was speechless. This stupid System just didnât want to deal with any troublesome problems, but it really has learned how to trouble Fang Ning instead.
After a brief moment, the System spoke up, âThereâs a problem.â
âFeng Niao just sent some information to Vigilante Aâs online profile: the Qi family will not be taking revenge. Despite their elaborate planning and the like, Qi Taoâs grandfather, the gifted doctor Qi Yunshen, has passed away after hearing the news of his grandsonâs tragic death due of a heart attack late last night. He died before help arrived.â
âThese people have quite the network. Itâs so easy for them to obtain information like this. It seems that we need to use Vigilante Aâs identity to associate ourselves with more powerful people. Take this matter for example; we couldnât have come up with a perfect plan ourselves. But then Feng Niao sent Vigilante A information on Qi Tao using Qi Yanâs QQ, and even gave us a hint that they had been commissioned by somebody from the Qi family to kill Qi Tao, only then could we carry out what we did because they would handle the aftermath. We still have no idea who commissioned them though?â
âQi, the son of the Qi familyâs clan leader and the President of the newly-established Qiâs Pharmaceutical Group. They revealed it in the information they sent us.â
âUsing someone else to do their dirty work; abandoning their benefactor after achieving their goal. They didnât even spare their own people. Theyâre all quite powerful, weâd better not go against these peopleâŠâ
âWhy? Arenât they all good Samaritans? If Qi Ye hadnât commissioned Feng Niao, Vigilante A wouldnât have been contacted. Feng Niaoâs people arenât too bad either. Not only did they give us Qi Taoâs whereabouts, they also dealt with the aftermath, which guarantees our farming doesnât bring consequences. We should keep in contact with themâŠâ
âDid I say something wrong?â
âYouâre right. To you, they would be good SamaritansâŠâ
Fang Ning didnât want to debate on this with the stupid System. âFeng Niaoâs people really are amazing. They really were watertight with all the details.â he thought to himself.
Fang Ning would soon find out that even if he spent most of his time being a homebody, his level would still cause him to meet more and more powerful people.
âFangâs Delicious Foodâ restaurant entrance.
All the workers were lined up in two straight rows, and under the lead of the pretty manager Zhao Ying, they followed their boss to welcome Qi Cityâs Xingsheng Groupâs President Zhao Xiangwen, and his wife and daughter for their feast.
With his wife and daughter in tow, President Zhao waved while walking; the big smile on his face a clear indication of his satisfaction towards the welcome. Not every plutocrat could say they were welcomed by the boss of âFangâs Delicious Foodâ personally, and even had the whole place booked for them for half a day. At least in Qi City, he was the first person to enjoy such an honor.
President Zhao was a friendly fatty, his daughter was an elegant and well-behaved young lady, so Fang Ning wasnât afraid.
However, it was his first time meeting Mrs Zhao. From the information the System had pulled from the Internet, Mrs Zhao was 43, but she seemed to be barely past her 30s. She had a slender figure and an exquisite face that was even more refined than Liu Yao. Under the smile on her face was a hint of strictness, however.
Fang Ning sneaked a glance at her before sauntering to the front to welcome the family.
Fang Ning used to be terrible at observing someoneâs mood and behavior. But he had gotten smarter now, and the Systemâs comprehensive perspective had long been activated by him, so Fang Ning could tell from a glance that his future mother-in-law wasnât someone that was easy to deal with.
Halfway there, Fang Ning had his mouth open to greet them, but suddenly stopped in his tracks.
âHey, System, why did you take over my body now? Donât create trouble, give it back to me.â
âIâm not creating trouble, but an accident might happen later. Iâm doing it for your own good. You were already scared out of your wits the previous times we ran into spirits. I want to ask you now, other than ghosts and spirits, are there any more things that youâre especially scared of?â

Fang Ning was extremely anxious. He knew the System didnât do things simply out of boredom, and so he immediately answered from within the System Space, âThereâs plenty. Monsters, serial killers, beasts like snakes, tigers, panthers, wolves, and those supernatural beings that appear constantly in horror filmsâŠâ
âOh, then you should prepare yourself. The 2-in-1 meal that youâre afraid of is hereâŠâ
A notification popped up just then. [ The System has activated Esoteric Skill âSpirit Gazeâ. Second level Aggro Bar consumed. Youâve obtained 30 minutes of true vision. ]
Sh*t! Once Fang Ning saw what was in front of him, he subconsciously cowered by the blacksmithâs forge, the request to control his body long forgotten.
