Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

Chapter 1349: Chapter 1348: The Opportunity Has Arrived

The next day, Fang Zheng rarely slept in and didn’t get up until noon.

He still lived on his airship, but now only Fang Zheng, Nie Xiaoqian, and Aya were left on it...

Wait, where’s Aika?

Hmm... that’s a long story.

Of course, to cut a long story short, it’s simple.

Basically, two months ago, after fixing the 1,364th bug, Aika couldn’t take it anymore and asked Fang Zheng for leave to return to the Moon World... She wanted to cheat with the Origin.

However, Fang Zheng was quite calm about Aika’s request. This is normal; Aika just liked the feeling of a challenge, not continuous failure and frustration. Fixing one bug per level, one map with countless bugs, fixing it all was mentally exhausting for Aika.

This wasn’t a challenge to oneself; it was self-torture!

But honestly, Fang Zheng wasn’t optimistic about Aika’s return to the Type Moon World to cheat with the Origin having much effect.

You know, even though Aika is connected to the Origin, that Origin is only the Origin of the Type Moon. You could say that the production and programming software used in Aika’s computer doesn’t exist in the Type Moon World. It didn’t in the past, it doesn’t now, and it might not ever!

It’s like Martians having to use various mecha to protect themselves when they come to Earth. Even if it’s the same world, a slight parameter difference can lead to huge discrepancies.

The software source Aika uses is from the Game World, and because that world specializes in games, the parameters of those tools must be different from those in the Type Moon World. Even if the Type Moon World advances into the gaming field 180 years later, the game programs and software they create might still be different from Aika’s.

It’s like WORD and WPS; they seem the same, and using them feels the same... but the fact is, they still have differences.

Of course, if they were exactly the same, it would be best. If not, at least Aika wouldn’t need to worry.

Just afraid that there would appear something vague and ambiguous in the Type Moon World... not all command symbols are universal!

But what else could Fang Zheng do?

He could only let Aika hope for her own good luck.

After freshening up, Fang Zheng hummed a tune and left the airship, then turned all the way to the Temple in Dali City. At the moment, the Witch Queen had already gone to Nanzhao to handle political affairs, while Zhao Ling’er stayed in Dali to begin learning how to become a qualified Priestess of Nuwa, so Fang Zheng stayed behind as well.

After all, Dali City is the territory of the White Miao Tribe, which is full of all kinds of beauties who dress very openly, unlike the conservative Central Plains of the Divine Land. Besides, there are Zhao Ling’er, Lin Yueru, and Anu here, much better than facing the muscular men of the Black Miao Tribe in Nanzhao, right?

Especially that one-eyed Elder Stone, truly like a rock in a latrine, both hard and stinky...

However, just as Fang Zheng entered the Temple, he saw a circle of people gathered not far away, seemingly watching something interesting.

”What’s going on? What’s going on? What’s happening?”

Seeing this, Fang Zheng’s curiosity was piqued, and he hurried over — everyone has a heart for gossip, and he was no exception. As Fang Zheng squeezed into the crowd, he finally saw, outside the ”office” not far away, an old man dressed in luxurious clothes standing there with a serious expression. In front of him, another elderly man was frowning, seemingly arguing about something with Aya at the counter.

”What’s going on?”

Seeing this, Fang Zheng curiously walked over and asked. Seeing him appear, Aya also breathed a sigh of relief, quickly got up, and respectfully saluted Fang Zheng.

”Reporting to the Celestial Immortal, this gentleman just came to us asking about purchasing a flying boat, but we currently have no plans to sell flying boats. I’ve already explained to them, but they insist on meeting with the Celestial Immortal face to face...”

”Oh?”

Hearing this, Fang Zheng looked at the two elderly men, and they also turned their heads to scrutinize Fang Zheng.

”You are the Celestial Immortal they’ve spoken of?”

”Celestial Immortal is just a title.”

While saying this, Fang Zheng smiled and extended his hand.

”My name is Fang Zheng. May I ask for your esteemed names?”

”........?”

Looking at Fang Zheng’s extended hand, the two old men glanced at each other, then the one in front reached out hesitantly to shake Fang Zheng’s hand, the only handshake between the two sides, then releasing it.

”I am Guu Yue from Lin’an, and I’m here with a big business deal to discuss with Fang... the Celestial Immortal.”

As he spoke these words, the old man also showed a somewhat peculiar expression, obviously not expecting to discuss business with an ”Immortal.”

”Just call me Fang Zheng. Please follow me.”

Fang Zheng glanced at the two old men, then gestured and led them out of the hall, arriving at the ”office” on the side of the Temple.

”Please have a seat. Would you like tea or a beverage?”

After inviting the two to sit, Fang Zheng came to the fridge and asked. One of the old men quickly spoke up.

”I’d like to try that drink called Coke again...”

”Drinking Coke in the morning isn’t good for the stomach. Old man, you’re getting older and need to take care of your health.”

Casually grabbing two bottles of Coke and placing them in front of the two, Fang Zheng went back around the desk to sit down, watching the two with curiosity.

”I heard... the two of you wish to purchase a flying boat?”

”Indeed, that’s the case.”

The older of the two elders was busy drinking cola and didn’t speak, while the other nodded.

”But when we asked that lady earlier, we were told the flying boat is not for sale...”

”Yes, that’s correct, for now, the flying boat is indeed not for sale.”

”And why is that?”

”If I were to explain, the reason is actually quite simple.”

Facing the elder’s inquiry, Fang Zheng spread his hands.

”The two of you may not be aware, but even though ordinary people can operate the flying boat, the core power... the part that allows it to fly, relies on the Power of the Wind Spirit. Although we’ve simplified this technology as much as we could, it still requires someone with a certain level of mana to activate it. Otherwise, relying on ordinary people alone, it might not even take off.”

”This...”

Upon hearing this, the two elders finally understood why Fang Zheng said the flying boat couldn’t be bought or sold. Indeed, it might not be that difficult to build, but to make it fly requires someone with a certain level of mana, and such people in the Divine Land are either temple abbots or some wandering Taoists and monks.

Relying on them is certainly out of the question.

As for why the Miao Territory can do it... haven’t they recruited so many yokai?!

”Fang Zheng, there’s something I don’t understand, may I ask?”

At this moment, the older elder seemed finally satisfied with his cola, put the bottle down, and looked at Fang Zheng to ask.

”Please, elder.”

”As I’ve traveled, I’ve seen and heard mingling of humans and spirits throughout the Miao Territory. They say this is because of you. I’m curious, it’s rumored that mountain spirits and yokai are mostly evil beings, how do you make them obedient?”

”Hehe.”

Hearing this question, Fang Zheng couldn’t help but smile and shrug.

”Elder, your words are mistaken. Have you ever seen children? In fact, when yokai initially take human form, their mentality isn’t different from that of a child. Children are neither good nor evil; it all depends on education. And these yokai are the same. If you teach them common sense and let them integrate into the world, there’s not much difference between yokai and humans. But if you only scream and fight, then of course, it’s different. Of course...”

At this point, Fang Zheng chuckled.

”The most important thing is that your fists are big enough to make them obedient.”

”Hahaha, I like that statement, sir.”

Upon hearing Fang Zheng’s answer, the older elder burst into laughter. Given his status and long life, he naturally knew that relying solely on the Book of the Sages couldn’t teach the world. Otherwise, why would the Imperial Court need soldiers and officials? Just distribute a Confucius and Mencius book to each person, and the world would be at peace, wouldn’t it?

At this moment, the older elder grew more excited as he thought about it, even standing up to look at Fang Zheng.

”Sir, if that’s the case, I have something I’d like to ask for your help with.”

”Please speak, elder.”

Fang Zheng naturally recognized the visitor, but since the other party didn’t say anything, he was happy to play along.

”Do you know that the Jin army is invading south?”

”I’ve indeed heard about it.”

Facing the elder’s inquiry, Fang Zheng nodded. Having spent a year in this dog food world, he’d investigated the era out of boredom and later realized it should be during the Southern Song period. After all, there was Bao Zheng, Yue Fei, and even Qin Hui... yes, to prevent Yue Fei from meeting a tragic end, Fang Zheng even went to Lin’an and quietly took Qin Hui out.

Traitors deserve to be executed by everyone!

However, Fang Zheng was puzzled because, in this world, the Southern Song ruler wasn’t Emperor Song Gaozong Zhao Gou but someone named Emperor Song Dezhong... and the ages didn’t seem to match... but considering this was the Immortal Hero World, it couldn’t be viewed as an ordinary historical instance, so Fang Zheng dismissed it.

”To be honest, the reason I value the flying boat is because it’s perfect for transporting troops and provisions, especially now that the Jin army is heading south, with the nation in peril. I wish to ask you and the Miao Territory to go to the front line and resist the Jin army!”

”Oh?”

Although he had guessed what the elder wanted to say, Fang Zheng was still surprised when he heard it from the other party. However, he quickly realized something and squinted his eyes.

This suggestion was indeed a bit sudden, but for him, it was a great opportunity...

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng shook his head.

”Elder, you may misunderstand the flying boat.”

”Oh?”

Looking at the elder before him, Fang Zheng smiled and said.

”In fact, the flying boat isn’t just for transporting provisions and troops...”
