How come I'm the one being conquered?

How did I get targeted for romance?

Author: Uesugi Pear

Synopsis: Transmigrated into the world of Honkai: Star Rail, I unlocked a unique "wasteful" system tailored for cats. The more good deeds I perform, the more moral points I earn, allowing me to draw various abilities and skills.

Bai Jun, who died from overwork in his previous life, thought he could finally live a peaceful life as he wished, only to discover that this system was not as simple as he imagined.

"Beautiful Youth, Sacred Judgment of Heavenly Fire, Favor of the Sun, Sorcery Reversal 'He', Platonsanks' lightning..."

"Hey, what are these for? Is this really a cat system?"

Looking at the hidden, high-level system before him, Bai Jun felt his ideal peaceful and beautiful life gradually slipping away.

No, as a qualified corporate slave, as long as he learned to actively avoid all sorts of trouble and not pursue cute girls, perhaps he could still hold onto his peaceful life.

However, as time went by, he suddenly realized that there seemed to be a few too many girls actively seeking him out?

"No, how did I become the one being pursued?"

Sky-Splitting Star, Blazing Heavenly Fire

Chapter 1: Call me a Good Samaritan of the Luofu!

Luofu, Changle Heaven.

It started to rain.

The first rain after the start of spring dampened the dry air and dust. Under the rumbling thunder, raindrops fell onto the bricks and tiles of the Department of Earthly Rulings' office, creating splashes of water. The fine rain tapped against the eaves like a broken string, making a dripping sound.

Outside, everything was a misty blur, and the sky remained a dull, leaden gray, as if a curtain had been drawn. Through the window, only blurry mist and the pattering rain could be seen.

In such weather, if there was nothing important to do, people would prefer to stay home all day, gazing at the rain outside, rather than venturing out. Consequently, Changle Heaven, usually bustling with activity, was quieter than usual, both on the main roads and in the alleys.

Only in the small office located in the center of Changle Heaven was there a lively scene at this moment.

"Oh, my dear old sister, you want me to find Di Ting for you on such a rainy day? Alright, alright, I got it. We'll notify you when there's news." The experienced clerk from the Department of Earthly Rulings frowned and hung up the jade communication device used for work.

"Oh, my good Foxkin brother, I'm just a minor errand runner in the Department of Earthly Rulings. I can't even figure out my own marriage, so please stop pestering me to find you a partner... What? You want me to introduce you to Miss Tingyun! Is that for real?" The newly arrived clerk looked exhausted, clearly bothered by these annoying and trivial matters and people.

"Huh? Ten skewers of Qiongshi Roasted Bird and a cup of Soda Mung Bean Milk? This is the Changle Heaven office of the Department of Earthly Rulings! Not an outdoor vendor from Jiren Alley, damn it!" The hot-tempered clerk, having just hung up the jade communication device, realized he had cursed again. Thinking that his full attendance bonus for the month would be deducted if he was reported, he immediately regretted it and slapped himself.

The Department of Earthly Rulings is the administrative management institution of the Xianzhou, and it is the institution that the residents of the Xianzhou come into contact with the most in their daily lives. All matters such as population statistics, resource allocation, ecological governance, and calendar timekeeping are planned by the Department of Earthly Rulings. However, this is just a nice way of saying it; in reality, it's just a department for miscellaneous tasks, and thus it is the busiest of the six departments of the Luofu.

That's right, this is the office of the Department of Earthly Rulings, one of the six departments of the Luofu.

However, unlike the luxurious and grand General Affairs Department in the Star-Crossing Sea Hub, this is merely a branch responsible for the Changle Heaven area. Therefore, it only occupies a small office space. In fact, the clerks have to go out to work, otherwise, this small place would feel a bit crowded.

However, in this kind of chilly weather, ordinary clerks cannot go out, and they cannot take leave either. So, they can only honestly stay in the office and fight with the incessantly ringing jade communication devices, making the already small office feel even more crowded and muddy.

However, in the corner of this office, that cool silver figure formed a stark contrast with the surrounding anxiety and mess.

He was a young man who looked very young, tall and slender, with silver hair and sapphire blue eyes that complemented each other. He was very handsome, with fair skin as white as fine snow. His long, upturned eyelashes made him look like a girl, but his delicate jawline had no trace of feminine weakness or vulgarity.

He could be described as a beautiful youth. If the perfect score was ten, he would probably get eight or nine points. However, his beautiful sapphire blue eyes were always listlessly half-closed. If it were anyone else, this look would be scorned as "dead fish eyes." But in his case, it didn't detract from his good looks; instead, it added a different kind of charm.

Moreover, it was worth mentioning that his presence was quite faint. If you didn't look closely when he was sitting there, it was easy to overlook him.

At this moment, he was leaning lazily against a soft chair, his eyes comfortably half-closed. No work, no phone calls, not even anyone urging him; he was fully enjoying a leisurely life.

The wind that occasionally blew through the corridor stirred the tea leaves floating in the teacup, causing the steaming tea to cool slightly. Just as he was leisurely slacking off, hurried footsteps suddenly echoed in the corridor, and then stopped in front of him.

"Qing Yan, why are you slacking off again? But that's perfect, you come and handle this gentleman's problem." The words sounded as if she had just happened to pass by and caught him being lazy, but Jing Yan's steps were directed straight at him, without any pretense.

"...Received."

Bai Jun somewhat helplessly moved the newspaper covering his face, and his always listless eyes fell upon his superior, Steward Jing Yan, and the client beside her.

The client was a plump merchant. His round, shiny face always wore a smile like that of a Maitreya Buddha. Upon seeing Bai Jun, he somewhat shyly adjusted his black, round-framed glasses, which occasionally reflected a glint of shrewdness.

Bai Jun straightened his body, put on a flawless professional smile, and took out a bracketed wooden sign from behind his chair to place on the desk. It simply read: "Open for Business."

"I won't lecture you. You have a task in the area near Jiren Alley. Hurry up and go with this client." Steward Jing Yan was already accustomed to this scene. She cursorily handed the client over to him and turned to attend to other matters.

Bai Jun had no choice. He took a briefcase from the cabinet, hesitated for a moment, and then decided not to take his sword. He walked out of the office with the client alone towards the entrance.

It was still raining outside, and puddles deep enough to cover the soles of their shoes had already formed at the entrance.

"It's raining so heavily." Bai Jun reached his hand out beyond the eaves. The cold, damp sensation made him frown. Looking at Jiren Alley, which was quite far away, he felt a bit worried.

He sighed inwardly, slightly rolled up his trouser legs, and took two umbrellas from the office's standard umbrella stand, one for himself and the other for the client.

Then, the two of them walked out, holding oil-paper umbrellas.

As they walked and chatted, Bai Jun learned that the client was an outsider who had recently come to Changle Heaven to do business. The Xianzhou, as a civilization that operated on starships, had always encouraged interaction and trade with outsiders. People from all over the star sea came here to do business, making it a place of bustling trade and exotic treasures, so this was not unusual.

He had opened a decoration company here, intending to profit from its unique style of decoration. However, strange things began to happen.

First, no one patronized his small shop for nearly a month. Then, at night, he would hear the sound of marbles colliding on the ceiling, and it seemed like someone was pacing in the hallway. The adjacent empty room seemed to be cutting something.

The bedroom door lock trembled slightly. The faucet in the bathroom was turned off, but it still kept dripping... Drip, drip, drip... There was a faint sound from under the bed, as if a ball was rolling around...

It was truly uncanny! These strange occurrences made him uneasy, and he was too scared to go back for several days.

Fortunately, a friend living on the Luofu gave him some advice, saying that the Xianzhou had always believed in feng shui and auspicious signs, and that the problem must be with the house.

There was no other way but to approach the Department of Earthly Rulings with a hopeful attitude to have it appraised.

Hearing his words, Bai Jun frowned. He wondered why this person would come to the Department of Earthly Rulings instead of the Ten Lords Bureau or the Divination Bureau.

In his opinion, it was simply because the Ten Lords Bureau and the Divination Bureau charged for consultations, while the Department of Earthly Rulings was free, wasn't it?

[Sigh, so unreliable. Why did the Department of Earthly Rulings send me such an attendant? I really don't know what use they have besides looking good... Oh well, it's free anyway, might as well use it.]

As expected...

The client's sudden inner thoughts seemed to confirm his guess. Bai Jun curled his lips, thinking, "Just as I thought."

However, the fact that the client dared to slander him in his mind made Bai Jun a little displeased. He'd remember this grievance.

Before long, the two arrived at the company the client mentioned. Though it was called a company, it was actually just a slightly larger small shop. The building was made of brick and wood, like a temple, with upturned eaves and carved window lattices, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship. Even the small signboard was very tasteful, well-placed, new, bright, and dignified.

As expected of a major merchant from out of town; at least the exterior decoration was quite impressive.

"This is it," the client said, walking to the door and opening the main entrance with a key.

Bai Jun put away his umbrella and quickly ducked under the eaves, brushing off the raindrops clinging to him and shaking off the mud stuck to his shoes. Only then did he cautiously follow inside.

The interior was as refined as the exterior. Although small, it was fully equipped. Bai Jun looked around and murmured, "It's not bad as a new home."

The client's lips moved a few times, as if he hadn't clearly heard Bai Jun's quiet whisper: "Mr. Qing Yan..."

Bai Jun interrupted him with a hand gesture. "No need. Qing Yan is just a nickname my talkative colleague gave me. Just call me Bai Jun."

"Then Mr. Bai, what do you think of this... have you figured anything out?"

Bai Jun took out a compass from his briefcase and turned it three times clockwise and three times counterclockwise in the room. He formed a hand seal and muttered incantations.

The client stood by, looking dumbfounded. He had thought of trying his luck with a free consultation from the Department of Earthly Rulings, but he never expected to actually summon a master of Feng Shui. Weren't Feng Shui masters supposed to be bald, with messy beards, and prone to rambling nonsense? How could this person be so young?

"Your friend was right. Your company can't succeed because of this house," Bai Jun said after a while. "Look at this room of yours. The east side has no windows, which means deficient Yang energy. The north side is suspended, making it difficult to gather wealth. The south side directly faces another office building, which signifies a clash of adversaries. The most critical issue is that the west side faces a wet market... tsk."

"Wh-what's wrong with the wet market?"

"Too much killing intent."

"Oh my, that makes sense, it makes sense! Truly a master!" The client was completely convinced and leaned closer to Bai Jun, looking at the blank compass. The surface was like a mirror, reflecting a worried face.

"As the saying goes, the energies of all things in heaven and earth are interconnected. Harmonious energies are auspicious, while disharmonious energies are inauspicious. This house is flawed in all four directions, with all five elements clashing. It can be described as a haunted house. If you stay here too long, not only will your business suffer, but I'm afraid the owner of the house..."

"Master, Master, you must save me!"

Hearing this, Bai Jun rubbed his lips with his thumb, his expression calm and composed, yet unconsciously revealing a hint of foxy cunning:

"Don't panic, don't panic. You're the first client I've received today. It seems we are fated. Today, I'll give you some after-sales service. Move out quickly within three days, and I'll tell you another place. I'll take care of this house for you."

"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master!"

The man left as if receiving a great blessing.

Bai Jun watched his departing back, his listless, half-closed eyes slowly widening in surprise.

[Noble Moral Acclaim +10]

[100 points of Noble Moral Acclaim accumulated. Start lottery?]

[Yes/No]

However, seeing the familiar system screen before him, Bai Jun wasn't particularly happy. Instead, he had a strange expression:

"No way, this is actually judged as Noble Moral Acclaim? I really doubt who set this system's chaotic moral judgment standard. Was it Lord Chang Le?"

Despite his internal complaints, his body acted honestly, and he clicked the [Yes] button.

Subsequently, a panel composed of countless items and skills spun before his eyes, with the roulette-like font constantly changing.

Finally, the pointer slowly landed on a pair of black and white pistols with gilded gun barrels.

[Congratulations on obtaining the item: Sacred Judgment of Heavenly Fire.]

ps:

Universal disclaimer.

This book is lighthearted and humorous. The protagonist is not a plot-driven character and is not a native.

Efforts have been made to align with the original character settings, but some individual settings may be changed. The system in this book serves as a lubricant and is not a mainstream trend. The pacing is slow and gradual.

Lastly, this is a new author and a new book, please support it!

Chapter 2: Not Slacking Off

Bai Jun, male, is a transmigrator.

Although he wanted to introduce his past life using the language of a certain office worker, he gave up because it was too troublesome.

He knew he was a person devoid of meaning and survival value. He never smoked, and only drank sparingly. Since starting work, he had rarely even played games. He originally planned to work until his thirties, accumulate enough wealth, and then, while he still had a shred of strength, escape this monotonous life and live leisurely in a city with a low cost of living.

However, before his plans could materialize, he died prematurely. After working for two years, he met an untimely end. When he opened his eyes again, he had arrived at a Xianzhou.

Although he lived on the Luofu, he wasn't a genuine Luofu native from the Xianzhou's "Lan" banner.

In fact, he initially transmigrated to Zhuming, where he was coincidentally picked up by an old man named Huai Yan. He also formed many karmic entanglements there. Alas, not to mention the details, it took him several years to escape Zhuming. Although he stayed in Yaoqing for a while afterward, he eventually ended up on the Luofu. Speaking of which, it has been almost four years since he left Zhuming.

He had been living on the Luofu for nearly three years now, and his work as a regular staff member in the Department of Earthly Rulings could be described as skillful, easy, and comfortable.

Bai Jun was a content person, never dwelling on victory or defeat, nor harboring enemies that would keep him awake at night. He was quite satisfied with his current stable life.

As for a "golden finger" (cheat ability), there wasn't one originally. But after arriving on the Luofu, one morning a system inexplicably appeared. While this sounded like a good thing, this system was different from what he had imagined, and rather abstract.

[System - Noble Moral Acclaim]

[Current Abilities: Beautiful Youth, Favor of the Sun, Mind Catcher, Sacred Judgment of Heavenly Fire]

Simply put, it was a system that awarded points for doing good deeds, and reaching a hundred points allowed for a lottery draw.

It sounded like a simple mechanism where helping an old lady cross the street or catching a robber would earn significant points.

But in reality, the judgment of moral value was quite abstract, to the point of being impossible to evaluate with common sense.

Once, he saved an old woman who had collapsed in an alley due to a heart condition. However, even such a good deed did not earn him any moral points. It wasn't until many days later that he learned the old woman was a scammer, and after he saved her, she went on to defraud several other people at the hospital.

Speaking of which, should he sometimes be grateful to the system for not deducting his moral points?

Besides, contrived kindness only felt hypocritical. Since that was the case, he decided to let the system's moral value take its own course.

Fortunately, the work at the Department of Earthly Rulings was inherently a benevolent act of helping the masses. Through the daily grind, he could always accumulate enough moral points for the lottery. Ah, it was truly a way to earn moral points just by standing there.

The lottery content of the system couldn't be described as all-encompassing, but rather as having everything. You could draw anything you could think of, and even things you couldn't. Although the probability of drawing good items was quite low...

The lottery page was a panel composed of countless items and skills that spun before his eyes, with text resembling a roulette wheel constantly changing. But even staring intently at the text, trying to seize an opportunity for a good skill was futile.

Firstly, the text on the panel changed too quickly. The naked eye could only vaguely capture it with instantaneous memory, making it difficult to rely solely on eyesight and reaction speed.

Secondly, the fast-moving text didn't stop all at once when it halted. Instead, it fell one by one with a certain delay. This meant that no matter how fast your reaction speed or how good your eyesight, it was useless. It was entirely reliant on ethereal luck.

The system never issued quests, and there were no attribute bars or dialogue boxes. It was very much like the interface of online games from over a decade ago, somewhat rudimentary.
