Jing Yuan: After That Public Humiliation, Can I Use a Revival Card to Come Back? This Is Important! (5k)
[Qingque]: What are you going to do?
[Chen Li]: Rather than making Fu Xuan unable to divine at all, it's better to make Fu Xuan believe that his correct divination was wrong. Only in this way can my anti-divination ability be demonstrated!
[Qingque]: For example?
[Chen Li]: How about we compete with the Aeon of Intellect to see who is wiser, with the Nanook to see who can fill whom first, and with the Devouring Star God to see who can devour the other first?
[Qingque]:???
[Chen Li]: In short, this time I must give Fu Xuan a little divination shock! But speaking of which, can the Array of Universal Observation withstand divination and such things? Or can it even be observed?
[Qingque]: Wait a minute, is this anti-divination serious?
[Chen Li]: Don't worry about that. Just remember to report Fu Xuan's movements to me regularly. Thanks.
Chapter 213 Jing Yuan: After the company dies, can it be resurrected with Resurrection Card? This is very important! (5k)
"There's a question I've been wanting to ask..." Baiheng asked.
"What's the problem?"
"Your Miraculous Item can turn a person into a whiny monster, and then the whiny monster can distribute the snacks in the basket to others, thus reducing the whiny monster's burden to zero. But What If this person doesn't have any close companions or even anyone they know nearby?" Baiheng asked this question that had been bothering her for a long time.
"Of course... she can't change back, just like now. As long as the two of us don't accept Xiao Jingliu's snacks, she can't change back," Chen Li explained.
"...You really will be beaten to death by your master," Baiheng said after glancing at the starry sky outside.
At this moment, Baiheng had already arrived at the Herta Space Station with Chen Li.
The two were standing on the platform, gazing at the scenery under the stars.
Traveling through the starry sky has always been Baiheng's dream, but unfortunately Baiheng has never had the chance to board the Astral Express, the holy land of the Nameless Guest.
At the Herta Space Station, apart from Chen Li and Baiheng, Jingliu didn't know anyone. So, little Jingliu was obediently staying by their side, only occasionally glancing in a certain direction.
Chen Li guessed that might be the direction where the Xianzhou was located.
"Just kidding. The [Moe Ying Body] Miraculous Item can be set What If all the snacks aren't given away within a certain time, the other person will revert to their original state. Also, Jingliu stays with us because we two have higher priority. Whine monsters can also reduce their burden by giving snacks to other whiny monsters. No other whiny monsters? Then just randomly infect an unlucky person, turn them into a whiny monster, and then give them snacks," Chen Li explained.
This is one of the reasons why the Whiny Body Virus person.
If you have friends, you can gift snacks to them. If you don't have friends, you can randomly turn an unlucky person into a whiny monster. Whiny monsters are of the same race as other whiny monsters, which also meets the requirements.
Isn't that very user-friendly?
However, if there's no one around, then there's nothing you can do.
"I see... Then what was that bracelet you put on Jingliu just now?"
"It's just a small thing that I created with the Power of Eternity and enhanced with Starstones, which can prevent a person's form from changing. It's also one of the known methods, besides Miraculous Item, that can affect a Moe Ying Body."
"... You really will be beaten to death by your master."
"It doesn't matter, don't worry about these trivial things. It's not like it's the first time I've died. Besides, even Jingliu herself doesn't have any objections, right?"
"Waaah!"
Xiao Jingliu didn't know what opinions were. Jingliu only knew that the two people beside him were among the two people he was closest to, so he was fine staying here.
The One-star Artifact "Moe Ying Body" actually has quite a few bugs that can interfere with the whining monsters who are in the Moe Ying Body" state.
The problem is that people who have the ability to find and exploit these bugs don't need to turn others into whiny monsters; they can play with them like toys.
This creates a paradox.
So once the program is running, don't worry about how it runs; don't worry about it.
"Beep beep!" Chen Li's Friends Circle Terminal lit up and kept vibrating.
"Why didn't you answer the phone?" Baiheng asked, puzzled.
"Emmm... Jing Yuan called." Chen Li didn't offer a complicated explanation; a single sentence was enough for Baiheng to understand why Chen Li wasn't answering the phone.
"You should answer it; it's not appropriate to keep dragging it out like this."
Chen Li followed Baiheng's advice and then connected to Jing Yuan's video call.
"Jing Yuan, I'm doing this all for your own good."
"..." Jing Yuan, who had sent the communication request first, hadn't said anything when he heard Chen Li's words.
"Forget it, now that things have come to this, I have no heart to distinguish right from wrong..." Jing Yuan sighed.
"You also want to live as long Heaven and Earth Live Together? Calm down." Chen Li was startled.
"Miraculous Item I'm trying to say is that no matter what your intentions were when you used this Miraculous Item on me, it has indeed helped me a lot." Jing Yuan didn't know what Chen Li was babbling about, but he still offered his explanation.
Although Jing Yuan didn't know whether Chen Li genuinely wanted to have fun or truly wanted to help him, after distributing all the snacks, Jing Yuan felt a significant lightening of his burden.
Now even the general with his eyes closed doesn't need to close them anymore.
Do you think General Jing Yuan "listened to the report with his eyes closed" because he wanted to close his eyes?
Sometimes, when someone frequently closes their eyes, it's not entirely because of the rule that squinty-eyed people are all monsters; it might also be because they're genuinely tired.
Jing Yuan now feels so energetic that he could Slide Tackle and kill a tiger!
Although turning into a whiny monster and running to familiar people to whimper and then distributing snacks to them did make Jing Yuan feel a little uncomfortable... or rather, embarrassed, Jing Yuan now understands just how humane Chen Li's setting for the whiny monster—that it's Moe Ying Body and won't attract too much attention from others—truly is.
Otherwise, if a certain Xianzhou natives used this Miraculous Item to dispel the Mara-Struck, and their dark history was recorded, they might relapse into the Mara on the spot due to the pressure of social death as soon as they released the pressure.
This is especially true for those who hold high positions and enjoy widespread renown.
Just as Jing Yuan could not imagine what would happen if the marshal of the Xianzhou Alliance used this Miraculous Item.
Just thinking about it is a grave offense.
"I have a question," Jing Yuan suddenly asked.
"What's the problem?"
Does "death in a company count as death? Can it be resurrected using Resurrection Card? What are the effects after resurrection?"
"... As expected of General of the Divine's question, it is indeed tricky." Chen Li's expression turned serious.
Does social death count as death?
Chen Li couldn't believe that someone could come up with such a tricky question.
But Jing Yuan has a point!
Why don't you... give it a try?
Or encourage others to give it a try.
"If my question is bothering you, you can put it aside and ignore it. The footage of the effect after using the Miraculous Item on someone nearing the edge of the Mara-Struck has been completed. Next, we need to film the effect after someone who already possesses the Mara-Struck is healed by this Miraculous Item. You... seem to be away from the Xianzhou right now, right?" Jing Yuan asked after glancing at the background of Chen Li's video call.
Jing Yuan was not in favor of using himself as a guinea pig.
But upon reflection, doing so would not only lighten his burden but also prove to the Xianzhou Alliance that Jing Yuan could still serve as General Xianzhou Luofu and would not act unwisely due to his Mara-Struck from living too long, thus dragging the Luofu Xianzhou into the Abyss.
This is a win-win situation.
However, considering that Chen Li never plays by the rules, Jing Yuan didn't know if Chen Li had considered this matter... perhaps he just wanted to have some fun.
As it turns out, General of the Divine was not omnipotent; at the very least, he could not comprehend the thought process of the Masked Fool.
"Don't worry, I'll be there whenever you need me. Or you can video call me after you find a suitable person, and I'll send the Miraculous Item directly to you," Chen Li said.
"And this person can't be a high-ranking member of the Xianzhou, just in case you miss out on the fun of the Xianzhou's high-ranking members, right?" Jing Yuan added for Chen Li.
"Jing Yuan understands me best."
"..."
That damned Masked Fool!
"I am not the Masked Fool. The Masked Fool is different from the Amusement Man." Chen Li seemed to have seen through Jing Yuan's thoughts.
"It doesn't matter. We can't condemn all Masked Fools. There are some more law-abiding Fools among Masked Fool," Jing Yuan comforted him.
"I've already said, I'm not the Masked Fool!"
"Oh? So you've never been watched by Changle Tian Jun?" Jing Yuan asked curiously.
If Chen Li hasn't been watched by the Aeon of Joy, then this Aeon of Joy doesn't seem very good either.
"..." Chen Li fell silent.
"Okay, I know the answer. Now for the most important thing. Chen Li, although I know you... uh... are of noble character, you still need to make some requests so I can report them to the Xianzhou Alliance," Jing Yuan said.
However, it is evident that Jing Yuan put considerable thought and consideration into choosing certain adjectives.
"... It seems I'll never become the Xianzhou General." Baiheng, standing next to Chen Li, suddenly sighed.
"There's a Foxians general in the current Xianzhou Alliance, so you don't need to underestimate yourself," Chen Li comforted him.
"No, it's not because I'm a Foxians, but because I feel I could never lie through my teeth like Jing Yuan." Baiheng shook his head.
"..." by Chen Li.
I even tried to comfort you. What a waste of my feelings!
"Ahem. Let's get back to the topic." Jing Yuan coughed twice, then tapped the screen.
"What do you want...? I definitely need the Moe Ying Ri."
"This condition is fine; it's reasonable. I'm asking about the others, of course, excluding Xianzhou Marshal," Jing Yuan said.
"Then let's have some get-out-of-jail-free cards."
"Hmm? This topic is a bit problematic. Although I really don't want to ask, I still have to say, what are you planning to do?"
"Here's the important part, take notes. First, Jing Yuan, you need to know that the reason I don't charge too much for crafting Miraculous Item is because when the Artifact Wielder creates positive Miracles, I also gain the Miracle Power. That's the reward I need most. But What If your Xianzhou Alliance takes Miraculous Item and does nothing with it, I will take it back. And with interest. Miraculous Item get-out-of-jail-free card is for that."
"... There may indeed be some problems within the alliance, but it's definitely not that serious." Jing Yuan assured Chen Li, who seemed to be smiling but was clearly very serious.
Jingyuan cannot guarantee the absolute purity within the Immortal Boat Alliance... Dan Shu is considered part of the Immortal Boat Alliance, as is Long Shi Tao Ran... but the highest levels of the Immortal Boat Alliance are relatively reliable.
"It wouldn't be too much for me to ask for a few get-out-of-jail-free cards, would it? I won't need them anyway."
"But in the history of the Xianzhou, the 'golden token of immunity from death' has never actually granted immunity from death," Baiheng whispered a reminder from the side.
"Do I look like someone who needs a get-out-of-jail-free card to prevent the Xianzhou Alliance from harming my people? I need the get-out-of-jail-free card to warn certain people in the Xianzhou Alliance not to abuse my Miraculous Item, or I really will take action," Chen Li explained.
Does Chen Li need a get-out-of-jail-free card? It's not like Chen Li hasn't died before.
If a real fight breaks out with the Xianzhou Alliance, Chen Li will simply say: This huge Nanook is yours!
"I see... I guess I'm not cut out to be a general after all. I thought your get-out-of-jail-free card was for Jingliu." Baiheng scratched his head.
"Didn't you ask for several pieces? I'll give her one later, although I feel that Jingliu doesn't care about being wanted by the police."
"Oh."
"What's your decision, Jing Yuan?"
"The Xianzhou Alliance is composed of three Long-Life Species: the Xianzhou natives, the Dragon race, and the Foxians. The Xianzhou natives and the Foxians's Mara-Struck and Moon Rage greatly need this Miraculous Item, but the Dragon race's Dragon Madness incidence rate is very low... Therefore, the Dragon race might have reservations, and it might evolve into an immunity token that only applies to the Xianzhou natives and the Foxians, rather than to the entire Xianzhou Alliance, or perhaps the immunity token is not applicable to the Fanghu Xianzhou," Jing Yuan said after thinking for a moment.
The Xianzhou natives naturally hold an absolute dominant position in the Xianzhou Alliance, but the Dragon race and the Foxians are also important allies.
The Fanghu Xianzhou is an autonomous Xianzhou of the Dragon race.
"I see..."
"However, the probability of this happening is very low. Do you know the profession of Dragon Master? They are both mentors who assist in the inheritance of the High Elder and assassins prepared for the High Elder who has fallen into [Dragon Madness]. In other words, the High Elder of the Dragon race might agree with this."
The probability of it happening is small, but that doesn't mean it's impossible. As a friend, Jing Yuan felt it was necessary to remind Chen Li.
"I understand. But actually, I also accepted a commission from Long Shi Taoran to create a marvel that can transform other races into the Vidyadhara race."
"... He also knew you were Miraculous Forger?"
"No, he only knows that I am the Divine Emissary of Abundance."
"... So, Master Long Shi Tao Ran is also involved with the Medicine King's Secret Teachings? Will you go and complete this commission?" Jing Yuan nodded and then asked.
"Of course. After all... as long as we get the Crystals, that's fine. We can also use them to see just how much wealth the Dragon race have. They must be very rich, right?" Chen Li asked casually.
"Very rich." Before Jing Yuan could even speak, Baiheng said from the side.
"That's perfect. We'll use Moe Ying Body to empty the wallets of the Xianzhou natives and Foxians, plus half of the Dragon race's wallet. We'll use the Dragon race 'Dragon race Miraculous Item to empty the other half of their wallets. Perfect!" Chen Li was overjoyed.
Jing Yuan remained silent.
