World-Saving Medical Hall.

Little Yellow held a steady horse stance on his two hind legs, balancing two bowls of water on each front paw and his food bowl on his head. His face was full of despair.

Liu Yi sat cross-legged in the courtyard with his eyes closed, the Dao resonance of Principles emanating from his body as solar power and Spiritual Qi poured wildly into him.

After a long while, he opened his eyes and let out a long breath. He turned to glance at Little Yellow and sighed helplessly.

"I'm tired. Let it all be destroyed!"

Recalling how he had hauled Little Yellow back from the Drunken Spring Pavilion yet again two hours ago, he felt utterly helpless.

Why had he adopted such a creature in the first place?

How had Little Yellow, once so well-behaved and obedient, ended up like this?

Liu Yi shook his head and decided to stop dwelling on these troubles. Then he opened the system's personal center:

Name: Liu Yi Nickname: World-Saving Little Doctor Race: Human Race Age: 152 Affiliation: none Physique: Five Elements Spirit Root Realm: Dao Seed Realm (10% progress) Cultivation Methods: Martial Scripture, Indestructible Golden Body 20.0, Soul-Shifting Spirit-Refining Great Method Martial Skills: Five Elements Palm, Five Elements Fist, Void-Treading Steps, Heaven-Splitting Divine Palm, Space-Rending Swordsmanship... Spells: Fire Dragon Technique, Earth Escape Technique, Immobilization Technique... Divine Abilities: none Energy Points: 115 million System notifications: 0

Watching the Energy Points continue to rise, Liu Yi's lips curved into a smile.

After accumulating them over this period, his Energy Points had finally passed the 100 million mark.

"The Energy Points should be enough. It's time to release the system promotion mission."

The number of subsystems had grown rapidly during this time, and over 3,000 people had now bound a system.

Some of these new users had received theirs from friends or relatives who had already bound a system, while others had received theirs from Liu Yi in secret.

Liu Household Village had received special attention, and Liu Hai's entire family had obtained systems.

Liu Hai, who had originally had little time left, had now grown hale and hearty.

If he kept cultivating the Body Tempering Foundation Establishment Method and the Old Farmer Cultivation Method, with Liu Yi helping him in secret...

It was not impossible for him to reach the Dao Seed Realm one day and truly defy the heavens to change his fate.

Liu Jun and Liu Wei had extraordinary aptitude for martial arts. They had already entered the Body Tempering Realm at the age of ten, and their futures were boundless.

These were only some examples of people defying the heavens and changing their fate through the system. Others who had obtained systems had also changed their destinies to varying degrees.

"You high-and-mighty people have had your last good days."

"Are you ready? A violent storm is about to descend."

Liu Yi sneered, then released the system promotion mission he had prepared:

"Much unfairness exists in the world. The Fairness System makes the world a better place. Let us work together to make the world fairer.

Earn 200 Energy Points for every system you share and promote, with no upper limit."

Many internet addicts who spent their time on the system immediately spotted the newly released mission in the Mission Hall and grew excited.

They had long been troubled by how few sources of Energy Points there were. Accumulating them through the system's daily rewards was far too slow.

There were so many divine techniques and secret manuals in the shop, but they could only gaze at them longingly without the Energy Points to exchange for them.

They also wanted to cultivate and become powerful, but without Energy Points, they could only save up slowly.

Energy Points also had a wide range of uses and could serve as a cultivation energy source. They were good for just about anything.

Now, with this mission the system had released, they could earn 200 Energy Points just by successfully promoting a system and getting someone to bind it.

To them, this was an excellent opportunity to earn Energy Points.

After all, exchanging for a System Seed cost only 100 Energy Points.

Each successful promotion would net them 100 Energy Points-a return of 100%!

If they could promote it to 100 people, they would instantly earn 10,000 Energy Points.

With such a wildly profitable business opportunity before them, how could they hold back?

They all became system salespeople and eagerly sprang into action.

The hashtag #System Promotion Mission# instantly set the forum's trending list ablaze, and the volume of real-time discussion soared visibly.

Liu Yi secretly browsed the comments.

"Hahaha, great! There's finally a new way to earn Energy Points. I've wanted to exchange for a martial skill for ages!"

"Exactly! This system mission came at just the right time. I was worried about not having any Energy Points, but now I can earn my fill!"

"Isn't this mission way too easy? And the profit is so high! They're practically giving benefits away!"

"Haha, I've already sold it to ten people and pocketed 1,000 Energy Points!"

"Whoa, brother, you're way too fast!"

"While you were still talking, I'd already started. How could I not hurry? Once everyone else has finished selling theirs, what chance would I have left?"

"You earn plenty, and I definitely won't lose out either."

Liu Yi smiled faintly, closed the forum, and checked the backend data. He found that the number of people bound to systems had increased by 1,000 in just a quarter of an hour, and the figure was still climbing.

"Hiss." He drew a sharp breath and privately congratulated himself. Good thing I had the foresight to wait until I'd saved over 100 million Energy Points before releasing the promotion mission. If I'd done it any earlier, I wouldn't have had enough Energy Points for the rewards.

"Although this promotion costs a fortune, every additional system host brings me even greater returns."

"Because the more subsystems there are, the more Energy Points he can harvest and the greater his computational power for deductions."

Sure enough, only tangible benefits could spur people to action to the greatest degree.

If something offered no benefit, or even made people lose money, no one would be willing to do it.

As it happened, after he released the mission with its reward, the number of people bound to systems shot up like a rocket in a short time.

With everyone helping to promote the systems, Liu Yi no longer had to spend vast amounts of time and effort distributing them himself.

After all, one person's strength was limited. He had to get everyone motivated.

With that thought, Liu Yi gathered his thoughts, stood up, and looked at Little Yellow. With a stern face, he asked, "Will you dare go to a brothel again?"

Little Yellow barked twice, his ears standing upright and his face full of defiance.

"Oh, now you feel wronged?"

Liu Yi scoffed and rapped him on the head with a bent finger. "The medical hall's business has plummeted because of your antics. If this goes on, we'll have to close our doors for good.

Most importantly, my plan to collect human body data has fallen through.

Also, from now on, you have to hand over the money you earn carrying goods for people outside. It'll go toward your food."

Little Yellow raised his head and let out two clear barks. His raised tail swished from side to side, and he looked thoroughly unwilling.

"No. You have to hand it over."

He glanced at Little Yellow and sighed. "Don't make trouble like that again. If you keep this up, I won't be able to show my face in public."
