Fang Ning left the farm villa and allowed Sir System to return to his home and kept his mechanical puppet. He also asked the Sir System to remove its disguise but not its faking technique to prevent exposing its energy.

After a complicated process, Fang Ning happily changed back to his original looks.

Eh, he felt there was a difference to his body. He looked at the mirror and touched his handsome face. He realized that he looked cleaner and taller after measuring his height.

He was surprised, "Sir, what is my current height?"

"1.72 meters."

He was no longer 1.68 meters tall. After half a year he had grown to 1.72 meters!

"I am 29 years old now, but I can still grow taller!"

Fang Ning was excited.

The System said, "What are you excited about? I said previously that with the success of mastering the Dragonization Ability it will be effortless to grow taller. How about I increase your height by another 1 meter right now?"

Fang Ning was shocked, 'What will I become then, a 2.7 meter tall giant?'

He quickly rejected its offer, "No thanks, that will be too obvious that it's fake. I want to grow taller by myself. That will feel like an achievement."

The System replied, "… I don't understand."

Fang Ning was still enjoying the fact that he grew 4cm taller before he thought about something and said, "You need to update that mechanical puppet as well."

The System replied, "That is easy. I just need to adjust its height after I take it back."

An hour later.

The original location of the Fang Family Restaurant, half of the area had been converted into a huge construction site. The workers were busy working and it was very noisy.

Multiple large human-shaped construction machines were working efficiently. Without the normal cars that were driving past the area, it would have looked like a scene from a sci-fi movie.

Some citizens were really taking pictures outside the construction area.

"En, doing very well. We really should have advanced ourselves and started to use newer versions of machines to improve our efficiency."

Fang Ning placed his hands on his back. Following him was store manager Zhao Ying, deputy manager Li Ye, the person-in-charge from the construction company, and the workers from Fang Family Restaurants. All of them were wearing hard hats.

The only thing lacking was that those people were not as conscious as Anderson. None of them were holding a notebook to write down whatever was said by Fang Ning, and all they did was nod and say yes behind him.

The last time Fang Ning was here, was when Chong Daqing was feasting uncontrollably without paying. That was at the end of February, when he was at the first ever Azure Mountain Treasure Trading Convention. Vigilante A rushed to stop it all the way from the ceremony…

Back then Fang Ning saw they were still using normal construction machines.

Currently, it was May. The reason Fang Ning came over to have a look was that he still remembered that store manager Zhao said previously that, by next May, the Fang Family Food Paradise will begin its operations, so he decided to come and check on its progress.

Fang Ning knew that he needed to stay humble, and he shouldn't forget his roots just because he received an unexpected gift from heaven above. The situation at the Cloud Fog City was not something that would happen often, not even once in years. The problem they had with the Russians was something that occurred after ten plus years of accumulation.

Well, the truth was that he was enjoying himself after visiting the Draconic Arcane Realm construction site and decided to go over to his own construction site and play around.

After giving his orders, he started listening to the progress report given by his followers.

Deputy manager Li Ye was a 40 years old professional manager, and he was the first to report.

"The construction work of the food paradise is progressing well. This is President Hong, the person-in-charge for a modernized construction company. They are our supplier for the best and newest construction machines, just like the one you are looking at now. Their shapes are similar to those sci-fi machines.

"We have already subcontracted the construction work behind to them to increase our effectiveness and quality of work. We predict that our schedule will also be brought forward, and we will likely be able to get into business by the end of the year."

The person-in-charge, President Hong, walked towards him with a smile and said, "President Fang, no need to worry, we will make sure that our work is both high-quality and efficient. We will work our best to complete the project."

He knew that he needed to make sure that this man was pleased to perfection. Fang Ning was nothing to him. Although this work was considered a large project, for him it was just normal since he was experienced and had worked with even larger projects with billions in budgets.

However, this man had the support of the true dragon!

Fang Ning nodded with satisfaction, "En, you must protect our workers while ensuring the work is done to perfection. By the way, your machines are controlled spiritually from a distance, right?"

The person-in-charge nodded, "That is correct. President Fang is really experienced to be able to notice it with a single look. Other than the works that still require manpower, most of the dangerous jobs were done using these spiritually-controlled mechs to ensure the safety of all our workers. Those workers are controlling these mechs from the control center situated 1 kilometer away from here."

Fang Ning nodded in approval.

Two months ago, in the Land of Heritage, the Truth Department deployed a group of construction workers and helped Sir System to build a deep stone groove in a short time with great efficiency.

One of the used machines was these human-shaped mechs that looked similar to the spiritually-controlled mechs, but with more feet and were equipped with multiple types of construction tools instead of weapons.

Nowadays those mechs had started to be used in civilian work. That was the benefit of the current law. It took way less time to convert weapon-grade mechs into a civilian tools that could be further used to improve the rate of production to generate income and form a better economy.

The Truth Department must have garnered a huge income releasing their copyrighted techniques in related industries. Through a huge industry like the civil engineering, they would have taken in a large sum of money.

Fang Ning observed the construction site and went back to his new house, feeling satisfied.

That house was bought using his real identity a few months ago, and was situated in a wealthier community. In the provincial capital like Qi City, it would cost 40,000 per square meter for such a house, but it had increased to 50,000 now. That's right, Qi City started to increase its property price because of the Dragon God.

After reaching his home he went into his room and started reading a novel from the computer.

"Sigh, it has been so long since I've read these novels without interruption. I must use these two days off to really catch up on it."

Fang Ning thought about it and went on the internet and search for the novel that had been updated frequently. A few months ago, Sir System took the chance and examined his mental health while he was reading this novel.

It had been 4 months since that day. That time the novel had 12,000,000 words, and now it had increased to nearly 25,000,000 words. The author must be pushing hard to make this novel the longest ever novel in the history of mankind…

Fang Ning didn't care too much and traced back to where he left off.

The novel had 24,500,000 words. Even if he read quickly it would take him a long time to finish the book.

Fang Ning read for a while and nodded in satisfaction. He enjoyed himself when he last read the novel. He prepared some sunflower seeds and drinks before continuing reading.

An hour later, Fang Ning's spirit returned to the blacksmith's forge in the System Space. He was shivering while hugging his celestial weapon.

The celestial weapon was a shining golden sword and felt like something that could dispel evil spirits.

'Can you not suddenly change the style of the novel?

'That is really scary.'

The System said, "Richman Host, you don't want to use your body anymore? Then I will control it."

Fang Ning was speechless, "Hurry up then, I am completely shocked."

The System replied, "I thought you are braver now, how can a novel scare the shit out of you?"

Fang Ning said, "I'm not sure why either, is this novel infused with magical power? Previously I was also having some emotional instability reading that book even though I am a veteran reader. Get me one of those Mind Easing Pills you gave me previously."

The System replied, "That time I gave you one and you refused to eat thinking I was harming you, forcing me to take control of your body and eat it."

Fang Ning said helplessly, "I know it's my fault, please give me that pill now Sir Miracle Doctor…"

As he finished a black pill with a hint of spicy and bitterness appeared in front of Fang Ning.

Fang Ning's spirit went back to his body. He took the pill and drank some Coke…

He felt that the fear in him slowly disappeared, and he regained his curiosity towards the novel and went to read it again…

Two hours later, his spirit went back to the blacksmith's forge again and asked for another Mind Easing Pill.

The System said, "What's wrong with you today, keep asking for more pills because of a novel?"

Fang Ning replied, "I have no idea. I felt that something was wrong with the book, but now it was too obvious there's something in this novel that's causing me to act this way."

Fang Ning thought about it and went back to read it to find out what was wrong with the novel.

He skipped reading the content of the novel. Instead, he glanced through the directory until he saw the newest chapter.

The System asked, "You find something weird yet?"

Fang Ning replied, "Nothing much. It's just that starting three months ago, the novel turned into a horror world. Did the author experience something traumatizing? Well, even if so it should be common. This is a dangerous era for commoners."

The System said, "Then train harder and only read this novel when you are at my level. Stop wasting my pills before that. You ate two of my pills which I could have sold for a considerable amount of money. I will bill them onto you."

Fang Ning was speechless, "You are so damn timid. All you think about its money, why can't you help me find the problem here?"

The System said, "I can't… You are talking about a book, not a monster. However, you don't need to worry too much. So long as you remain in the System Space, nothing scary can harm you."

Fang Ning saw through what the System was planning and said, "You are taking away my holiday, am I right?"

The System said, "Richman Host you are blaming the innocent again. Is it wrong for me to try and comfort you?"

Fang Ning replied, "I don't want to talk to you anymore. Time for me to recover by playing video games."

If Fang Ning knew that the author of the book he was reading was staying next to his new house, he would have visited the author with some special knives and talked to him about the story.



Shao Han finished writing the new part of his novel and laid on his bed. He knew that for the past few months he had received many knives from his reader. That was the reason he moved to this better and safer area.

He had no idea why when he activated his writing ability he could just describe the scenery of a scary world uncontrollably. Basically, he would just write and write when he opened Microsoft Word.

After he witnessed the Lord of Seven Emotions killed by the flame dragon, he was saved by the it, and realized his ability had evolved.

Once he activated his special writing ability, he was no longer only able to write quickly. He could easily make his story more emotional, and he was happy with it.

This discovery made him decide to push himself once more after completing his rehabilitation work under Principal Zhang. He also decided to reject the contract offer from the Qi City Truth Department after thinking it through.

The Truth Department wouldn't pay much attention to his special ability. For them, this would just be another production-related ability, and it had no potential to harm the society…

After writing for a few months, Shao Han realized everything in his life was turning better. He managed to earn money using his special ability and no longer felt jealous towards the others.

Everything nice ended when he saw the scary photo on the internet.

Even though he tried his best to forget, the photo remained in his memory. He would think about the photo randomly, and he clearly remembered all the details on the photo.

Inside the picture was a weird looking head that had the shape of a snake or a dragon. The most important part of the head was its red eyes that were staring at him.

After he saw that picture, he felt that something hidden inside him was awakened…

Every time he used his evolved writing ability, his story will slowly turn towards the horror genre.

If he tried to write according to his original plan, his special ability would stop working.

He tried to search for a clue and found that some people were discussing the photo in the Monsters Forum.

Some of them said that they felt nothing after looking at the photo, only saying that the picture did look scary. The photo was rumored to originate from Japan and was taken and uploaded to the internet when someone was escaping from something.

He was rehabilitated and saw the huge spider from the battle between the flame dragon and the Lord of Seven Emotions, so he had an idea how bad it was inside. He had no intention of telling others what he was facing because he didn't want to get sent to the same place again. He would no longer have access to the internet, plus it would take him years to get out from there.

"It's either I stop using my special ability, or I can just start another novel in the horror genre," that was the question he was asking himself recently.

It was impossible for him to stop using his special ability. He could only sustain his life using his special ability since his normal writing speed was awful.

Writing novels was something he enjoyed, plus he loved reading the positive comments given by his talented readers.

Shao Han thought about it and made his decision. He laid on his bed and started imagining a new world and slowly fell asleep.

In his dream, he saw the same flame dragon with its burning body and he felt calm. However, what came next was the scary spider smiling weirdly at him, and he was horrified by it.
