Chapter 19 The War Between Sects is About to Erupt

[With a face as handsome as Gu Yan, are his physical attributes really that bad?]

[Your classmates have all said you have a bad character, did you know that? You're jealous because Gu Yan and Weiwei are going to be on a dating reality show, aren't you? What are you trying to gain attention for, you scheming bitch.]

Good news! Ningxue courseware has been updated again.

……

Jian Ning couldn't bear to watch any longer and rubbed her dizzy forehead.

No, she really didn't mean that!

Netizens are really overthinking it.

Jian Ning's phone vibrated; a new text message had arrived.

Since changing her phone number, Jian Ning's phone has become much quieter; she hasn't received any more telemarketing text messages.

When she received the new text message, she instinctively opened it.

[Jian Ning, this matter is over. What did you mean by posting that sarcastic Weibo post? Now that you've left the entertainment industry, just behave yourself as an ordinary person and shut up.]

Judging from the text message, it must be Gu Yan.

In this information age, there is absolutely no personal privacy. I don't know how he found out her new phone number.

But he bought her negative trending topics first, so why should he tell her to shut up?

The system suddenly popped up at that moment.

[Either die in silence, or erupt in silence! The war between sects is about to break out. To uphold our sect's prestige is of paramount importance!]

[Mission triggered!]

【Task: Develop sect followers 0/1125901】

[Reward: Spiritual Energy Gathering Array]

Having completed several tasks before, Jian Ning felt somewhat confident and was no longer surprised by the tasks issued by the system.

The number of people on this mission is just strange...

Jian Ning thought for a moment, then looked up and saw that the number of people in the task had changed to 1125903.

No, the number of people in this mission can change?

It can’t be…

Let her compete against Gu Yan and Xie Weiwei in the dating reality show.

Jian Ning opened the official Weibo account of the dating reality show "Fate Destined to Love You" and glanced at the number of followers.

The numbers strangely overlapped with the number of people on the mission.

Good news, you guessed right.

Bad news, this is bad news in itself.

The number of people who completed the task was still 0, indicating that it was not her own Weibo account.

It must be... Fengqi Live's new account!
Jian Ning let out a long sigh of relief.

The good thing is that there is no time limit for the task; as long as you persevere, you will eventually be able to complete it.

[Ding! Friendly reminder: This is a limited-time task. Countdown: 30 days.]

Jian Ning flopped onto the bamboo bed and closed her eyes.

A background music started playing in my head automatically—I dared not open my eyes, hoping it was just my imagination.

Although the task was difficult, Jian Ning ultimately decided to face it head-on.

She sprang to her feet without wasting time on self-pity and immediately shared her Fengqi Live account with Nannan.

"Nan Nan, please use your little hand to follow us."

Zhang Nan: "Last time I asked you to develop into a rural blogger, and you did it! That's incredibly efficient. I'll follow you right away."

Jian Ning saw that the account finally had one follower.

However, the number of people who completed the task remains at 0.

The tasks and bug-exploiting aspects of this cultivation system are becoming increasingly difficult, requiring more thought and effort to figure them out.

The last farming task was basically about getting the word "successful" in the phrase "successfully planted a spiritual plant." Only after she ate the planted vegetables could it be considered a success.

So this time—the problem with developing sect followers might lie in the word "followers." Jian Ning continued to send messages: "Nan Nan, I've cleared some land, and the vegetables I planted are ready. Come and pick them up when you have time."

Zhang Nan: "Okay, okay, I'll come over as soon as I'm done with my work these next few days. The sweet potato leaves you grow are so delicious, the vegetables must be delicious too."

With this message, the number of people who completed the task finally increased from 0 to 1.

Jian Ning understood.

Simply following her isn't enough; you have to be someone who has complete faith in what she grows and genuinely likes it to follow her account.

Therefore, Jian Ning's original plan was to spend some money to buy more powder if she couldn't complete the task in the end, but this method is not feasible.

After a moment of contemplation, Jian Ning quickly came up with a new idea.

It was nearly dusk.

Jian Ning set off for the vegetable garden, spending the afternoon digesting the basic spell "Reclaiming Wasteland" in her mind.

She focused her mind, and as she turned her fingers, a faint, earthy yellow light, invisible to ordinary people, swirled between her palms.

"go with!"

Before them, two small plots of land, no bigger than a palm, had automatically transformed into a reclaimed landscape, with even waist-high weeds turning into soil fertilizer.

After she awakened her Wood Spirit Root, she developed a natural connection with the land and plants.

You can sense that the land, once cleared and reclaimed, will automatically transform into excellent fertile soil.

So that's what this technique is for.
Could the area to be cleared be expanded even further?
Jian Ning wanted to give it a try, so she calmed herself down, held her breath, and moved her fingers again.

A piece of land about one meter long and one meter wide was turned up in front of them.

Jian Ning had a premonition that if this technique continued to improve, even clearing an acre of land would be a matter of a snap of the fingers.

She tried a few more times, clearing about half an acre of land, but felt dizzy from the exhaustion of her spiritual energy, so she stopped, picked some vegetables, and went home.

Over the next few days, she diligently practiced her magic and cleared out twenty acres of land near the golf course.

I went and bought a lot of vegetable seeds.

This time, the vegetables were not planted in a mixed way, but in separate areas.

Plant bok choy in one plot, lettuce in another, radishes in another...

A little rain can accelerate growth, so she waters the plants once in the morning and once in the evening.

After completing these preparations, she posted her second daily video with the caption: "I have a farm at home, all organically grown. Follow for a chance to win five pounds for free! New followers only, and you have to write a review after eating it!"

The first step to attracting followers is to give things away for free.

However, the number of vegetables that can be grown is limited. If you want to reach more than a million followers, someone has to promote the products.

Jian Ning's strength is limited.

For example, there might be a piece of clothing that looks great, but not everyone has worn it. If you see someone else wearing it and it looks good on you, you'll want it too.

Similarly, if she delivers food to one person, and that person likes it and writes a sincere review or recommends it to others, it will definitely attract other people to want it.

After posting the video, Jian Ning quietly awaited the results.

She stretched comfortably, just about to take a nap, when her phone rang.

She picked it up and saw it was an unfamiliar number from the northern part of the city.

Since changing to a new phone number, only family members and Nan Nan know about it. There are very few phone calls each day, and not a single telemarketing call.

She swiped to the right to answer the call.

"Hey."

A deep, unfamiliar male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Is this Jian Ning?"

Jian Ning could tell that the other party meant no harm, but she did not admit it.

She countered, "What do you want?"

The man paused for a moment, then said, "I'm your brother."

Jian Ning replied without hesitation: "I don't have a brother."

Then, he hung up the phone.

The next second, that unfamiliar number from the north of the city called again, relentlessly.

Jian Ning answered the call and lightly scolded, "I've never had an older brother, not even a cousin. If you're going to lie, at least make something believable."
