Chapter 205 : Time to Achieve Lake-level
The great green insect originally wanted to hide by the side like how the Vigilante A ordered it to. However, it suddenly realized that hiding would expose its weakness, so it decided to fly upwards…
It suddenly saw a sharp light shining from the stone gully below it. It still managed to see through the light, as it was still a Pond-level powerhouse.
It saw a green dragon appear, and suddenly, a red dragon head grew out from its body, followed by a purple dragon head…
A normal green dragon became a three-headed monster in an instant…
The great green insect was shocked by what it saw, ‘Holy, dad you never told me anything about Dragon Clan having three heads, right?
‘Is it possible that all non-humans that descended to this earth will soon be mutated?

‘I’m just an insect now, so am I going to mutate soon? I’m still at least presentable now. If I grow a few more heads then how am I supposed to go out to get my food?
‘Luckily, dad gave me a briefing before I came here. This place has some good delivery services…’
Just as it was imagining things, the next thing that happened completely blew its mind away…
The three-headed dragon started blowing together, and a fireball, green wind, and purple electric ball appeared in the sky.
The dragon changed into a long sword with a dragon head. With a turn, the dragon head swallowed the fireball, wind, and electric ball.
After it swallowed them the sword suddenly increased in size to hundred meters long. It aimed itself at the groove and pierce through it.
The great green insect immediately closed its eyes and refused to see what was happening underneath it.
The voices that appeared from time to time was telling it that those monsters beneath were being skewered like a bunch of candied haws!
‘I wonder if this three-headed dragon will allow me to have an outdoor barbeque later… I also put in a lot of effort for this.
‘One, two, three. Is it over… Can I open my eyes?’
The great green insect was counting. Suddenly it felt chilly, and the sounds below stopped.
It slowly opened its eyes and looked below, and was confused by what it saw.
The deep groove was empty. On the stone wall were a few messy footprints and some faint blood smears at certain places. It was clear that a large group of beasts had just passed the area. Other than that, there was nothing left…
A person was standing in the deepest part of the groove. The person was the Venerable Dragon God, but he was not moving…’What is he doing?’
The technique that he was using was insanely powerful! He somehow managed to turn every beast into dust?
That was hundreds of monsters that had a certain level of strength. Even at its best, it would take more than a couple of moves to destroy them.
The best it could do was also beating them to a pulp. It was impossible for it to disintegrate them into nothingness.
“No wonder he was so brave… This power level, if according to the standard of the human world, he is as good as I was when I first reached S rank. He is just an A rank master, and he should still have some injuries on him, yet he could exert so much power. This specially created flying sword is really strong,” the green insect was talking to itself in shock while flying in midair.
After a moment, it regained consciousness. Just as it was planning to fly down it realized it lost a few feelers on its body.
It remembered that because it wasn’t flying high enough, its feelers were cut by the power from the sword. No wonder it felt chilly just now.
“Damn, I lost a few of my hairs… No, I need to run now. I can’t let him discover my weakness,” the green insect turned and flew away. After a while, it flew back.
‘I don’t know anyone and I have no idea where to go. Where can I get my food?
‘Well, he surely is a good guy. Nothing will happen even if he discovers that I am lying to him all this time.’
…
Fang Ning was looking at the System Notification. Sir System was analyzing the battle, and everyone ignored the green insect.

[The System has collected 505 Pond-level carcasses and stored them in the System Preservation Area. The carcasses occupied 8000 meters cube of space. Currently 21,000 meters cube of space in the System Preservation Area are left.]
Fang Ning felt wrong as he saw that, ‘What’s my power level now?
‘I’s still a Rice-level powerhouse, right? Then the Celestial Dragon that I summoned would only be Cutlery-level? This is so shameful…
‘No, wait. When I summon it, I need to think about the power level my true body is. My body is Cutlery-level, so the best I could summon is a Pond-level? Then what’s the point of summoning it if it’s the same power level as the System…’
Normally, only those powerhouses that were at least Pond-level could summon a Celestial Dragon, and the dragon that they could summon would be better than Lake-level.
He was always controlled by Sir System, and harvested the reward, thus leading to such a weird situation.
Luckily, Sir System was busy upgrading itself and ignored him, but soon it would come to its attention, so he needed a way to avoid it…
Fang Ning saw the shrinking green insect and had an idea.
He asked, “Sir, when are you going to stop upgrading?”
The System replied, “It will take a few days. I need to train myself while I spend the Experience Points to reach Lake-level to avoid overstraining your body.”
Fang Ning felt relieved. Sir System will be busy for a couple more days before tending to him, “Oh, alright then. This is a huge leap in power level anyway so it’s understandable. Let’s bring the green insect back. I still have things that I want to know.”
…
The green insect was very obedient after watching the dragon’s true power.
Fang Ning wasn’t afraid of the green insect anymore as Sir System will soon reach Lake-level a few days later.
Vigilante A brought the green insect back to Fang’s Family Restaurant in Qi City and requested a VIP room for them.
“Alright then, you can eat now,” Fang Ning said to the green insect on his shoulder while walking towards the room, “I will settle the bill first. After the Truth Department releases your reward I will take that portion away… Not to worry. I am a reasonable person. You did your share of work. This time we will split the reward three parts and seven parts. You take the smaller portion.”
He was planning to push all the responsibility onto the Truth Department if both him and Sir System refused to pay the money…
That’s right. Fang Ning is a conman. He planned to use the work done by this insect to upgrade Sir System and then get the other party to pay for the green insect’s work…
The great green insect was happy with it. It retracted its power and entered the private room along with Vigilante A. It rushed onto the table and eagerly waited for the food to come in.
Fang Ning started his interrogation.
“Daqing, I lost most of my memories when I descended, so I have no idea which clan you are from, so tell me about it. If you have some relation with my Dragon Clan, I can help you a few times if you can’t fill your stomach. However, I will need to record them down because your appetite is too big…”
A plate of fried peanuts was served onto the table as a starter.
The waiter who brought in the food was shaking as he saw the green insect, but when he saw Vigilante A by the side he was relieved and smiled before leaving the room.
The green insect swallowed all the peanuts and indulged in it. It said, “Oh, my dad asked me to never tell anyone…”
Fang Ning was speechless and replied after thinking, “This isn’t the Upper Realm. You are now the leader of your clan, so you should have your own thinking. You can never ask your dad for advice on everything, right?”
The great green insect hesitated and said, “How do you know I am the leader of my clan? That white insect and the Bodhisattva told me the same thing. Something about Spiritual Insect or first insect.”
Fang Ning continued conning it, “The Bodhisattva Spirit King and the Insect Mother are my friends, so of course I know. I descended earlier so I have already established my connection here. If you don’t tell me your background, I can no longer trust you, and I can’t just treat any stranger to a meal… I guess you need to wait for the Truth Department to give you your share of reward before you can have your feast.”
The great green insect hesitated and asked, “When will the Truth Department send me the money? I thought the humans here need to first have a bank account?”
Fang Ning replied, “Normally they will take 5 to 6 days, at most 10 plus days. They are a governmental organization so everything they do will need to follow their SOP. The money doesn’t belong to them, so they have no say in it.”
The green insect felt hungry as it found out it would take that long. It thought about it and said, “I believe you are a kind person. Fine then, I will tell you. I am from the Celestial Clan in the Upper Realm, and my clan has some connection with your Dragon Clan. However, there are so few people in your clan, and some of your clan members never stepped out of their home. You said you lost your memory, and I have no idea who you really were… And it’s even harder to find your root. I am being honest, and I will never try to act close to someone.”
‘Celestial Clan. The name itself sounds badass. No wonder this insect was once a Skylake-level powerhouse. Wait,’ Fang Ning thought about something.
He asked Sir System, “You simply created the Skylake-level?”
The System replied, “Yes, I did. This monster is originally very strong, but not at a higher level. Its power level is at the peak of Lake-level. At first, I wanted to create a Skypond-level, but I realized that Pond-level was enough so I scrapped the idea.”
Fang Ning was speechless as Sir System was always capricious…
After that, he tried to get more information on the Dragon Clan from the green insect by saying that he was trying to regain some memories…
The green insect was okay with telling him anything he wanted so long as it didn’t involve its own secret. Luckily, it could just swallow the food without chewing, because it would be difficult to answer all the questions that Fang Ning was asking if it needed to chew.
He was asking about how many dragons were in the Dragon Clan, their hobbies, their favorite food, their strength, and weakness. Basically, he would ask about anything and everything…
In the end, Fang Ning indeed gained some knowledge on the Dragon Clan. The Dragon Clan in the Upper Realm is one of the strongest clans, and the strongest among the Dragons was one that was called the Almighty Dragon God. Its true power was more than Fang Ning could ever imagine. Its presence was enough to destroy everything…
The great green insect answered him while eating all the food, leaving behind plates which it cannot swallow.
Although it was a foodie, it was not an idiot. It thought to itself, ‘Hmph, ask all you want. When I finish eating I will get my revenge. You make me lose my face here in this restaurant, and I will not let you off so easily…
‘I cannot hit you, but I can punish you by asking you to create one thousand new songs for me, and all of them must be related to food.’
