“The Venerable One is such a kind man…”

Several days later, the Zhaos moved into the third floor of the Draconic Arcane Realm with Fang Ning’s help.

The three stood together, looking at the herbal garden where the Whitestone people worked and felt a certain relief wash over them.

Outside of this world, people were afraid. Even though the general situation was still under control, the economy had already been heavily affected and was slowly replaced by the blooming of military supply industry.

Of course, the new era’s military industry had taken on its own meaning.

Medicinal pills, cultivation methods, formations, sects, and cultivation schools, among others, were starting to become popular.

Even President Zhao’s assets were affected with many of them were shrinking.

Only his collaborative company with the Venerable Dragon God and future son-in-law Fang Ning was doing really well.

Not only did the profit single-handedly made up for the loss from the other properties, it even had a surplus. From that, it could be seen that the economic activities of humans were silently heading toward that direction.

The rat king on the mysterious valley had expanded several times, but it still could not fulfill the production needs.

“The internet still works, but it’s a little wonky… but it’s enough. If that’s the case, heeding the Venerable One’s advice, we shouldn’t get out there until next year. I will be managing everything from here.”

President Zhao warned his wife and daughter before they returned to their mansion, beginning their quiet life in the Draconic Arcane Realm.

At a time like this, whoever could live a quiet life would the winners…

…

Fang Ning helped his future in-laws settle in and immediately had a huge burden set down. He shrank back into the System Cyber Cafe to browse the internet.

Soon after, he received a message from Brett.

The black dog sent, “Master? Master White Dragon, are you there?”

Fang Ning replied, “I am. What’s the matter, Blackie?”

Brett said, “I am going to meet my first blind date today but I don’t know what to say…”

Fang Ning said, “Easy, I have plenty of experiences there. Usually, blind dates would be talking about your romantic history, work, assets, car ownership…”

“If she asked if you have dated anyone before…”

System Notification: [Your internet has been disconnected.]

“Just say you did not actively look for anyone and had wanted to focus on your career.”

“If she asked for your career…”

System Notification: [Your internet has been restored.]

“You should say your master had recommended you a few, and you were really happy as you did them, and you smashed them hard…”

“As for owning a house and a car… You can just take some pictures of our mansion right here and some of those nice cars owned by William on the south.”

The black dog replied, “Understood, thank you, Master White Dragon.”

“Wait.” It was only after Fang Ning had finished typing that he saw the system notifications.

He realized a huge problem and immediately wanted to stop Brett.

System Notification: [Your internet has been disconnected.]

‘Oh shoot…’

Fang Ning asked the System, “What’s the matter with you? Why is the internet so unstable?”

The System felt wronged and countered, “You’re accusing me falsely again, I’m not gonna take the blame for this. I’ve been connected to the outside the entire time, so you better find someone else to blame.”

Fang Ning gave it a thought and understood immediately. It must be because the panic people had been experiencing had taken a toll at the maintenance of the internet.

Normally, there were plenty of tiny problems, but they were usually taken care of in time before they became huge problems.

Now that a disaster was imminent, most working people were probably not paying attention to their work, choosing to focus on saving themselves. Places that were not supposed to malfunction would malfunction, and by the time the problem was discovered, it would be too late to be taken care of.

It was like him when he used to work as a programmer. Friday afternoons were already tense as they were, if a notice was put out ordering them to work on Saturdays, the chances of creating a bug would have increased.

Projects that were problematic usually happened during the two days.

…

In a city somewhere in the south, a clinic had a sign that said, “Find your true happiness.”

The clinic was huge, but it was cold and quiet without many patients.

Men-in-black who used to keep the order in the clinic had all disappeared.

Two middle-aged nurses were chatting away about the two dogs in the back of the clinic.

One of them was a black dog while the other one had golden fur.

“That black dog is so muscular! It isn’t, like, huge, but look at that strong legs, and that pecs! I want to get more photos.”

“Isn’t it? My man is a personal trainer, but even after so many years of working out, he doesn’t even look like that dog. To think he kept showing off his muscles in front of me, I have to take some pictures to shame him.”

“Haha, Sister Xiu, you’re right.”

When the two nurses were gossiping, another conversation was happening in the backyard of the clinic.

The golden-furred dog asked shyly, “Brother Black, have you had any previous relationships before?”

Brett held out his foreleg and scratched his head a little. He tried his best to recall and said, “My master had recommended me a few…”

The golden-furred dog asked curiously, “What do you think of them?”

Brett continued, “I was really happy when I did them, and I smashed them hard…”

“You’re a ruffian! I’m leaving.” The golden-furred swept her fluffy tail to the side and left.

“Um…” Brett was stunned. “I answered exactly how master taught me to, what’s going on?”

The two nurses stopped gossiping and were eavesdropping at a window near the conversation.

When they had seen it, they giggled uncontrollably.

“Oh, this black dog is such an honest pup.”

“That’s right. Even if it had a lot of fun with its other partners, it shouldn’t have said it out loud. That’s so cute, hahaha…”

The two nurses went from giggling to cackling.

“That’s not its fault, it’s not a human after all, it can’t have the social adeptness like us humans. Not only it, I’ve even seen humans who behave worse than that. Remember that old man the other time, he’s already at that age, but he wanted to turn into a young lady, that’s just impossible.

“We are a sex-change clinic, not a place to regain youth. If we could do that, I would’ve chosen to become a young man even if I had to sell an arm and a leg…”

“Sister Xie, since you brought it up, I remember it. He’s really an idiot. Hey, speaking of which, I saw this rumor online talking about this Paradise Realm. It says if you can learn the three scriptures, you can leave your physical body here, enter the realm and regain your youth or whatever you want…”

“I’ve seen that rumor, it was deleted pretty quickly. Could be a scam. We’ve seen plenty of powerful people, and even the powerful Miss Daqing had never talked about it. Maybe we should ask her. Listen to the authority would be the safest.”

“That’s right, Sister Xiu, I think so too. Isn’t that the same as those evil creatures who devour blood and flesh to cultivate? I think it’s probably a phishing scam. If we leave our bodies behind, we’d probably die without even knowing how we did. They said something about this in the pamphlet the Special Affairs Department handed down.”

The two nurses promised each other not to fall into the sketchy advertisement. They were learned people. People with connections should ask their connections first.

…

The black dog returned to the office of Chong Daqing.

“No go?”

The great green insect was laying on the windowsill and sunbathing. She ate so much two days ago, the food had yet to digest.

“Yeah. I answered exactly how master taught me, how could it turn out like this? Master wouldn’t lie to me,” said the depressed black dog.

“Oh, are you still gonna treat me to a meal? I’ve already made the connection.” Chong Daqing asked pitifully.

“Of course, I keep my promises. But is it possible to give me some promotional offers? I failed too quickly.” said the black dog helplessly.

“Sure, I’ll connect you with some pretty ones for free.” The great green insect had an idea. “Hey, I can open a matchmaking agency in the future to expand my business.”

“If you’re thinking of setting up a membership system, I’ll take one. Do senior members get a ninety-percent discount?” The dog asked.

After spending so much time with Vigilante A, it had mastered some of the skills Vigilante A used to save money.

“Ninety percent discount? I can give you a broken bone with one-hundred-percent discount, would you like to take the offer?” Chong Daqing said crossly.

The black dog took a few steps back while waving its paws, “I’m only kidding, I can pay the full price.”

“That’s more like it. I’m running out of food money soon, luckily the Azure Dragon treated me a meal that can last a while, and here you are, asking for a ninety-percent discount…”

The black dog indicated he understood. Even the seemingly carefree Miss Daqing still had worries.

As soon as the great green insect finished speaking, she received a call.

“What? The Truth Department wanted the Celestial Insects to help breed the Sacred Bees? And they wanted to pay me a lot?

“That’s great! Those dudes no longer need to eat plain rice every day. Speak of, I’ve not had that treatment for a long, long time…”

The black dog heard something familiar and asked tentatively, “Miss Daqing, the Sacred Bees you are talking about, are they related to the Sacred Beeswax? I know where to find the mutated Sacred Beehives. I can look for it for you, do you think you can waive the membership fees?”

“Oh,” Chong Daqing turned around and said without looking surprised. “You definitely would help, because it was initiated by your master, the Azure Dragon… so you won’t get off.”

“Um… I’ll ask when I go home.” Failing in both romantic and financial pursuits, the black dog pounced at the ground, still sulking.

In the next moment, it arrived at Vigilante A’s farmhouse.

Vigilante A had already been waiting for it.

“Brett, I just found you an honorable job. You should work hard at it.”

The black dog said as it greeted disinterestedly, “Yes, Master.”

Fang Ning noticed it and thought, ‘That’s not right, he looked just like he was dumped…’

He asked, “Brett, did your blind date not work out?”

The black dog shuddered and said in admiration, “Your observation is keen.”

‘Nonsense, your dog face is so transparent. If I still don’t notice it, I’ll be a moron like you.’

Fang Ning encouraged it, “Those that are right for you will come eventually. Those that got away would eventually regret the day they said no to you.”

He gave the black dog an injection of confidence…

Hearing it, the black dog was revitalized and became excited. “You’re right, Master. What’s this job, I will do my best to complete it.”

“Help the Chong Daqing carry the Sacred Beehive. You have plenty of experience in that department, but remember not to get stung too much.”

“Yes, Master,” said Brett spiritedly.

Pouncing at the ground, it turned around looking for the great green insect again.
