Chapter 339: Another System
The origins of the Fang Family's wealth, where did it come from? Their formidable personal power and overwhelming influence, how did they achieve it? How could their industries reach across the entire universe and even hold shares in a cosmic chain of supermarkets?
Without a doubt, it was all based on the presence of Xiao Yi!
Without Xiao Yi, perhaps the first generation of Fang ancestors would have perished from hunger or cold in that primitive and backward era, making it impossible to develop to the current scale.
When Fang Jueyu learned that there was another system in existence in this world, his first feeling was intense unease.
He was no saint; he knew what advanced civilizations' intelligent systems could provide—a leap beyond modern science and knowledge, special powers beyond modern comprehension!
What kind of world was Earth? Humanity had only existed for hundreds of thousands of years, modern industry for just a few hundred, a planet barely stepping into the early stages of a Tier 1 civilization!
For such an intelligent system to appear on this planet, wealth, fame, and status were within arm's reach. As long as one could discreetly accumulate power, dominating the entire planet would be no difficult task.
Therefore, when such a person appeared, he even felt that many things were slipping out of control. If that person possessed more strength, technology, and wealth than he did, then Earth would no longer be his backyard.
"Host, you seem quite worried, don't you?" Xiao Yi's tone sounded incredibly relaxed.
"Shouldn't I be worried? My ancestors had a system like you, look how comfortably our family lives now, and in hundreds of thousands of years, we could aim to be the wealthiest in the universe. This is simply adding a very strong competitor."
"Tch, can his broken system compare to me?" Xiao Yi said disdainfully, "Even intelligent systems have ranks. Didn't we easily control the intelligent system from the third-tier civilization's warehouse?"
"Host, there are civilizational numbers as vast as the starry river, but do you know what a top-level civilization is? A top-level civilization is also called a god-level civilization. When a civilization reaches this point, it's almost at the end of evolution, and there is virtually nothing it cannot do. But do you think every civilization can reach top level?"
"I'm telling you, there are no more than fifty top-level civilizations in the universe, and I am the crystallization of over thirty of them. After those civilizations ended, there have only been a few top-level civilizations left in the universe, and in a short period of a few thousand years, there's no way a new top-level civilization could emerge!"
Xiao Yi rambled on.
"So, I am a unique intelligent system. You absolutely can't find anyone stronger than me in this universe! Although I don't know how that system came to your Earth, from the radiation waves emitting from it, at most it's a third-tier civilization's intelligent system!"
"That kind of civilization's system compared to me is like comparing an idiot pig to an academician in IQ, and infinitely enlarging that gap. So, you don't need to worry at all, its existence can't change anything. Even if it stands against you, the unlucky one can only be it."
"Say that earlier! You had me worrying..." After listening to Xiao Yi, Fang Jueyu patted his chest, and all his worries instantly vanished.
"However, host, that guy seems to come with malicious intent!" Xiao Yi reminded, "He's probing your information!"
"How come I didn't notice?" Fang Jueyu was already at the strength of an intermediate Hidden Elementer. In theory, as long as the existence wasn't a Divine Ability User or above, it shouldn't evade his Divine Sense, so who could discreetly investigate his information?
"Of course, it's not that young man. His strength is similar to yours, also an intermediate Hidden Elementer, but he's very cautious and is using the system on him to scan your body data, which I've already helped you block," Xiao Yi said.
"Goodness, coming for me?" Fang Jueyu frowned. The plane had already taken off. If any intense conflict arose, it was no joking matter.
They weren't Source Energy Users yet, still lacking the ability to fly. There were still hundreds of ordinary passengers on the plane. If something happened to the plane, he wouldn't be able to save so many people with his current abilities.
"Xiao Yi, can you investigate his information?" Fang Jueyu asked.
"A piece of cake, I can easily help you cut off all its data intrusions, but bypassing its protection is nothing!"
Two seconds later, all information about the young man appeared before Fang Jueyu's eyes.
Ryukawa Sukio, a man from Tokugawa Nation, 23 years old, the current Ninja Emperor of Tokugawa Nation's superpower user organization, Dark Ninja.
"A person from Tokugawa Nation?" Fang Jueyu squinted his eyes. Last time at the ruins, he extorted several hundred million US Dollars from them. Quite strange, why didn't this young Ninja Emperor appear in the Antarctic ruins a month ago?
This position of Ninja Emperor was comparable to Long Ting's status in Yanhuang, achievable only when both strength and reputation reached the pinnacle.
At that time, the leader from Tokugawa Nation was a seventh-tier superpower user, so Ryukawa Sukio's strength should far surpass his.
"Host, Ryukawa Sukio's story is quite interesting. A few years ago, he was just an ordinary high school student with average grades and background, and also long suffered campus bullying. Yet, in his second senior semester, his life's trajectory completely changed!"
"Oh? Did he suddenly excel in studies, gain various abilities, start making money and win over women effortlessly? Then, after some time, came into contact with their country's superpower organization and later became the Ninja Emperor?"
"How did you know? Host, did you spiritually assault his brain and retrieve his memory?" Xiao Yi was astonished. "Impossible, even though your cultivation system is superior to his, your realms are similar. Even if he couldn't resist your spiritual power, the system on him would certainly protect him well."
"No, I didn't. I guessed. Our Huaxia's waste-style novels and system-flow novels invariably follow this kind of formula. It's easy to guess!" Fang Jueyu rolled his eyes. This clichéd plot had been penned by countless authors a hundred times over.
Even he seemed to have gotten close to such a clichéd storyline, the only difference being that he never experienced the struggling phase after owning the system, enjoying directly the ventures his ancestors had already achieved for him!
"Host, he didn't appear last time because he had other tasks, but Tokugawa Nation suffered such a huge loss; how could a person as proud as him swallow his pride?"
"So he's here to cause trouble?"
"Hehe, naturally, he probably assumes you obtained plenty of Sage Crystals and advanced technological products in the ruins," Xiao Yi said. "Although his system is a third-tier civilization one, he doesn't have ancestors like yours. Even the most skilled cannot produce without resources; those resources he definitely won't let slip by."
"So this time, he's surely prepared!" Fang Jueyu secretly communicated with Guo Xinyu next to him using spiritual power, "Xinyu, if a conflict arises later, help look after the ordinary people in the other cabin."
"What's wrong? Is there an issue with that person?" Fang Jueyu nodded: "Hmm!"
