My Ironclad System is ahead of schedule.

Just as Ji Yuan was suffering such torment, there was another knock at the door.

"Hmm? Who's here? I'll go see."

Ji Yuan gestured for Jing Liu's hand and Ruan Mei's foot to leave his body, and then stood up to open the door.

As Ji Yuan walked towards the door, he felt a sense of relief.

Finally, I can escape this chilling situation. From now on, whoever it is, I will thank you properly.

open the door.

His smile vanished.

It's fireworks.

She was dressed as a newsboy, with a stack of newspapers on her back.

"What are you here for?"

"Of course I'm here to sell newspapers." Hanabi said, handing a newspaper to Himemoto: "One patrol coin for you."

Ji Yuan ignored her gesture of asking for money and instead looked at the newspaper, wanting to see what it said.

Breaking News: Famous singer Miss Robin was spotted checking into a hotel with a mysterious man.

The man who went to the hotel with Miss Robin is a mystery!

[Miss Robin, who never had any romantic scandals, was secretly...]

Besides the news in the newspaper, there were also several photos of Ji Yuan and the robin.

The people who took these photos had such good angles that they completely photoshopped Tingyun and Qingque, who were standing next to them, out of the picture. It really looked like the two of them went to the hotel together.

"You didn't take this photo, did you?"

Ji Yuan looked at Hanabi with an interrogative expression.

Hanabi immediately spread her hands and said, "I don't want to get beaten up. If I really do that, I'll get nothing but your anger."

The main problem is that this kind of fun isn't enough for her.

It would only be interesting if she could disguise herself as a robin to go on a date with Himemoto, book a room, and then fool the real robin.

Unfortunately, her disguise was completely useless against Ji Yuan.

She could only dream about it.

Ji Yuan carefully examined the angles of the photos and realized they appeared to be screenshots from surveillance footage. If an ordinary person were spying, it would be unlikely to escape Ji Yuan's notice. But with cameras everywhere on the street, Ji Yuan didn't care even if he knew. And yet, he was secretly filmed like this.

Tingyun and the others also came over and saw the contents of the newspaper that Ji Yuan was holding.

"What's going on?! Dude, you're not really...!"

Su Chang asked in shock.

Then, Ji Yuan hit her hard on the head.

Ji Yuan said expressionlessly, "Don't talk nonsense to me. When I was with Miss Robin, Tingyun and Qingque were also there."

"Yes, I was there too."

Tingyun nodded in agreement.

Then, she thoughtfully said to Ji Yuan, "I feel we still need to take action to resolve this matter. Here, let me see which tabloids are behind this, and we must make them pay the price."

Putting aside Ji Yuan's identity, she is also a representative of the Luofu Merchant Guild, which owns many businesses throughout the universe.

As Ji Yuan watched, the system's voice echoed in his mind.

[You and Miss Robin, the most famous and emotionally resonant singer in the universe, have been rumored to be having an affair, singing songs of harmony throughout the cosmos and attracting the attention of the God of Harmony. For this, the system rewards you with +10 to Emotional Influence; your actions, singing, and other influences on others will become even greater.]

Huh? What are they asking me to do? Debut as an idol, or become the leader of a cult?

Ji Yuan thought to himself subconsciously.

However, he also knew that this ability was not limited to that.

Previously, Ji Yuan thought Robin was just an ordinary singer, so she didn't pay much attention to her. But now it seems that she is the singer that Hippe is watching.

Yes, it works.

Go to her place!

I just got back from the hospital and I'm not feeling well, so I'm taking a day off.

I'm not feeling well today. I just got back from the hospital with my medication, and I'm having trouble writing. I'll be taking a day off, and I'll definitely make up for it with a 10,000-word update tomorrow.

Excuse me……………………………………….

Chapter 240 Ji Yuan: I also have a talent for singing [After resting, here's another chapter]

(P.S.: I slept from 6 or 7 a.m. to 3 a.m., and I feel much better.)

……

Seeing Ji Yuan's pensive expression, Hanabi reached out her hand to say goodbye.

"I've already given the notifications. Goodbye!"

After saying this, she immediately turned and walked outside. As she walked, she hummed a little tune she had learned on the fairy boat.

However, before she could take two steps, Hanabi was stopped by Himemoto: "Hey? Wait a minute."

"What? Are you planning to go on a date with me? Okay, let's go, let's get a room." Hanabi said, reaching out to take Himemoto's hand and leave.

However, Ji Yuan dodged her hand as soon as she reached it out.

"How can this be."

"Well, there's nothing more to say. I still have to work at the newspaper. Poor me, a little girl who's not even an adult yet, worked so hard to come all the way from the distant Yalilo VI to the Luofu Immortal Ship with some heartless man. He just dumped me and didn't even acknowledge me. I'm left all alone, doing odd jobs..."

Fireworks's tone was gentle and melodious, as if Ji Yuan had indeed done something to her. This emotional embellishment even affected Su Yi, who looked at her son with a hint of suspicion.

Su Yi would absolutely not believe it if you said her son was an idiot. But if you said Ji Yuan was a scumbag…

I'm not entirely sure about the plain clothes.

Just as she was thinking this, Su Chang leaned close to her mother and whispered, "Mom, she's a masked fool."

Oh, that's okay.

Su Yi left indifferently.

Seeing that the fun was over, Hanabi could only look at Himemoto with a sullen expression. Tilting her head back, she asked Himemoto, "So, is there something you want me to do?"

"I want to know why you're helping me like this. What do you want me to give in return? Today's events are alright, but if you hadn't told me about the 'Sudden Strike' during the previous battle, we might have missed our chance."

Ji Yuan always felt uneasy and uneasy because the Masked Fool kept giving him things but never took anything.

“That depends on your own thinking.” Hanabi flicked her chin with her fingertip. “Aren’t you a member of the genius club? Someone as smart as you can definitely figure it out.”

Fireworks bounced and skipped away.

She ran out into the street and casually tossed the newspaper she was holding to passersby, not asking for a single penny. She was happy now, so giving away newspapers to others was nothing to her.

"Ji Yuan, just guess. Even if you use your clever little brain, you still won't figure out what I want."

"Because I don't want anything at all."

Hanabi wore an expression that suggested a weasel had successfully stolen a chicken.

Seeing Ji Yuan completely bewildered was exactly what she wanted to see.

Hehe...

Hanabi was laughing very happily.

……

Ji Yuan really couldn't figure out Hanabi's purpose or intentions. Since he couldn't figure it out, he simply decided to give up.

Ji Yuan turned to look at Su Yi and the others: "I'll handle this matter. Miss Robin has come all this way and is now burdened with all sorts of rumors. It's really not the responsibility that our Immortal Boat Alliance should fulfill."

"Yes, indeed, you should be in charge of this matter."

Su Yi nodded in agreement.

"Then I'll go take a look and handle this matter properly."

"Ah."

Ji Yuan immediately left home and headed towards Chang Letian.

The residence he purchased wasn't far from Chang Le Tian, ​​and Ji Yuan quickly arrived at the Star Peace Company's office in Chang Le Tian. The Star Peace Company had many collaborations with the Immortal Boat Alliance, and had numerous shops and offices in Immortal Boat locations. Upon arriving, Ji Yuan was greeted by Xiao Han, a young man from the Immortal Boat.

"Secretary Ji, is there something you need to take care of here?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan couldn't help but glance at him. Was this guy completely choosing sides within the company by referring to his own position?

However, this was not of much concern to him. Ji Yuan asked him, "Is Topa here? I need to talk to her about something."

His words had barely faded when Toppa appeared before him, carrying the account book. His face beaming with excitement, he asked Ji Yuan:

"Yes, yes, boss, what can I do for you?"

Ji Yuan placed the newspaper on the table and pointed to the news: "I've run into some rumors. Go and handle this. Hmm, don't let these rumors circulate in the market."

"Okay, I'll take care of it right away. Don't worry, boss, those rumors will all disappear soon," Topa assured Ji Yuan. After making that assurance, she asked Ji Yuan, "By the way, boss, should we deal with Miss Robin's previous rumors, and the upcoming ones?"

"Let's deal with it together."

This was something he did on a whim, and Ji Yuan certainly wouldn't be stingy with it.

"Okay, I'll go contact the newspaper owners right away."

While making a newspaper or news outlet famous throughout the universe might create a large media conglomerate, it's nothing compared to a behemoth like the Interstellar Peace Corporation. With Ji Yuan involved, those media conglomerates would never dare to report on the robin again.

In fact, what happened today was because the reporters from those media groups didn't understand Ji Yuan's identity. Ji Yuan's desire to avoid fame, while bringing him many conveniences, occasionally led him to such situations. If they knew his identity, let alone a fake scandal, even if Ji Yuan and Zhibing were seen holding hands in a love hotel, those newspapers wouldn't dare report it.

Ji Yuan nodded: "Okay, I'll leave things here to you. After you've finished dealing with things here, go and contact the gold dust collector who has already arrived in Pinocene. We'll head to Pinocene after my coming-of-age ceremony."

"clear."
