Absolutely legitimate Star Iron, I've awakened the Underworld System?

The biggest problem now is, where do we find a new meme virus to overwrite the underground memes?

It's hopeless to expect a chaotic break, as there's still some time before the Pinoconi timeline ends, and the "Banana Evil and the War of Intolerance" storyline won't be triggered until the very end of the Pinoconi version.

At the same time, the information provided by the system also warned that this crisis was far more massive than the one in Pinocchio, and that the meme of the Chaotic Ninja Knight could not cover it up.

The solution lies in finding more powerful memes to spread throughout the universe.

So, where should one find such memes? The system didn't explicitly say, but instead gave Bai Qiong a new task: "to increase Su Chang's corruption value to 50%."

Furthermore, the mission reward description states that Bai Qiong will definitely complete this mission in order to find the direction.

Now, the mission objective is within reach; all that's needed is to take one more step...

Looking into Su Chang's expectant eyes, Bai Qiong only needed a moment to think before he made his decision.

“Su Chang,” Bai Qiong’s voice was low and serious, completely different from his usual relaxed tone, “Would you be willing to help me?”

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Chang nodded immediately, her clear voice filled with determination: "Of course I'm willing! Just tell me, what do you need me to do? I'm willing to go through fire and water to help Bai Qiong!"

She puffed out her chest, looking like she was ready to go through fire and water.

Considering Li Dazhentou's age, Bai Qiong took a deep breath, organized his thoughts, and then slowly spoke, his voice very low, as if afraid of being overheard by a third person: "Su Chang, this matter... is somewhat special, even somewhat difficult to talk about."

Su Chang blinked, looking at Bai Qiong with curiosity. It was the first time she had ever seen Bai Qiong so serious and mysterious.

Bai Qiong leaned close to Su Chang's ear and whispered the solution to her.

This was the first time Bai Qiong had proactively informed others that she possessed special abilities. Although she did not explicitly mention the existence of the system and the Corruption Value, she still explained the necessary process clearly.

As Bai Qiong recounted the story, Su Chang's expression gradually changed, from initial curiosity to shock, and then... shyness.

Two rosy clouds rose on her fair cheeks, spreading all the way to her ears, and even her neck was tinged with a light pink.

"How...how strange..."

Su Chang's voice was barely audible, and she lowered her head, not daring to look Bai Qiong in the eye. "How could there be such a solution? This...this is too..."

She wanted to say "it's ridiculous" or "it's shameful," but she swallowed the words back.

Because this was proposed by Bai Qiong.

In Su Chang's heart, Bai Qiong held a special place, even though this special relationship had not been established for long and this was the first time the two of them had been so close.

However, Bai Qiong's performance in the Golden Man Alley incident left a deep impression on Su Chang.

Although Bai Qiong's method made her feel incredibly embarrassed and shocked, she still chose to believe him.

“However, if it was Bai Qiong who brought it up,” Su Chang’s voice was still low, but it carried a hint of firmness, “I believe Bai Qiong. Bai Qiong must have said that for the good of the Immortal Ship.”

She looked up at Bai Qiong, her eyes still holding a hint of shyness, but even more so, trust and determination.

"I've heard about this before, but I don't really understand it. Could you teach me what I should do?"

Bai Qiong stood up, took her out of his arms, and patted her. "Just like before, I'll take care of the rest."

"Huh? Oh, that's pretty simple..."

"Ding!"

[Target character Su Chang's corruption value increased by 8%][Current corruption value: 50%]

[Trigger keyword: first time]

[Please keep up the good work, host. You're just a young girl, full of youthful vigor and charm, easily winning favor. With the spirit of a peach or plum tree and the eloquence of a parrot, how can you afford to waste this precious night?]

[Task complete. The "Guidance of the Morning Star" reward has been credited to your account. Please check.]

[New Task: Reach 100% for Su Chang's Corruption Value]

[Quest Reward: Golden Finger.]

[Golden Finger: Fingers with maximum modulation ability; hand speed and finger strength can be greatly increased.]

"Go to the Taibu Si and find Fu Xuan. Tell her you can solve the problem of the Qiong Guan Formation. Then have her use the Qiong Guan Formation to perform a divination for you, and you'll know what to do next."

To Bai Qiong's utter surprise, after expending so much effort, and even sacrificing himself...

Well, anyway, he put in tremendous effort for that 50% corruption point, and the reward for "Guidance of the Morning Star" was just such a bland sentence?

Bai Qiong stared at the words on the system panel, checking them several times, just in case he was seeing things.

That's it?

Can this really be considered a reward for 50% corruption progress?

He felt like he'd been thoroughly tricked by the system. Before, there was a deluge of information and crucial clues; how did it all turn into a vague, ambiguous statement?

He knew perfectly well what the situation was like at the Grand Diviner's Office. Yu Kong had said it himself; the Grand Diviner's Office was in complete chaos, and the Qiong Guan Formation had encountered a major problem. This news was absolutely true.

Should he be tasked with resolving the problem of the Qiong Guan formation?

Fu Xuan was probably the first to disbelieve it, and Bai Qiong himself was also a hundred percent skeptical.

What a joke! What qualifications does Bai Qiong have to solve a problem that even the Grand Preceptor couldn't handle?

"System, come out and explain yourself!" Bai Qiong silently chanted in his mind, trying to summon that troublesome system.

Do you think this message is just a simple way to point you in the right direction? Actually, it's also a reward guide.

What's the meaning?

Bai Qiong was a little confused.

[You'll see when the time comes. What's the point of saying too much now?]

[This matter is also recorded in the "Galaxy Ninja Scroll," which states, "Scorpion venom can be used skillfully to counteract snake venom, and poisoned wine can sometimes be a kind of nectar."]

"You idiot, don't use such a riddle-like answer out of the blue. Besides, these are someone else's lines, why are you just copying them directly?" [Anyway, this is indeed a reward, I won't say more.]

This is absolutely outrageous!

This system has come up with a bunch of inexplicable things again.

Bai Qiong felt she had no outlet for her anger, so she vented it on Su Chang.

By the time the matter was resolved, it was already quite late.

Bai Qiong took Su Chang back to the inn, citing the safety of a girl going home alone.

Su Chang hesitated for a moment, initially wanting to refuse. However, she couldn't resist Bai Qiong's repeated invitations and finally nodded in agreement.

So, Bai Qiong dragged Su Chang along and they had a blast farming for corruption points.

Chapter 56: A Special Way to Play (4.8K)

It's time for the next day.

Bai Qiong didn't wake Su Chang, but quietly got up by himself.

He first took out his phone and sent a message to Fu Xuan.

[Bai Qiong: Grand Diviner, I would like to have my fortune told by you. Are you available now?]

However, a reply immediately popped up in the chat box.

[Fu Xuan: I am not here, please do not disturb me (automatic reply).]

It seems the problems within the Taibu Division are quite serious? Fu Xuan didn't even have time to reply to a message.

Bai Qiong could only get up and dress, and go to the Grand Diviner's Office to see if she could find the Grand Diviner.

When Bai Qiong arrived at the Taibu Si (a place for diviners), he found that the Taibu Si, which should have been bathed in the serene moonlight, was now closed, and the atmosphere was unusually solemn.

Bai Qiong's heart sank. It seemed that the problems within the Taibu Division were more serious than he had imagined. He walked to the door, but the Yunqi soldiers guarding the gate stopped him.

"Halt! During this special period, unauthorized personnel are not permitted to enter the Imperial Apostle's Office..."

Bai Qiong was prepared; he showed the Cloud Cavalry the jade token of alliance in his hand.

Sure enough, upon seeing the jade tablet, the Yunqi Army soldiers were startled. After carefully examining the jade tablet and confirming that it was genuine, they opened the gate and let Bai Qiong in.

"Please!"

"Thank you," Bai Qiong said, and stepped into the Taibu Si (a place name).

Following the route he remembered, he arrived at the instruction hall near the Dayanqiong Observation Array.

The Great Evolution Qiong Guan Formation is a large-scale formation used by the Luofu Immortal Ship to predict the future. In the past, many diviners were busy here, connecting countless omens to understand the past and know the future, and to see through the darkness and light.

However, at this moment, the hall was empty, with only the Dayan Qiong Guanzhen standing there quietly, emitting a faint light.

Bai Qiong strode towards the Qiong Guan Zhen.

Sure enough, Fu Xuan was there.

Her pink hair was tied into a bun, with two ponytails hanging down her back.

The purple and white dress, paired with white tights, looks adorable.

She was standing in front of the Qiong Guan Array, sweating profusely, constantly adjusting the array's base. Purple energy threads were wrapped around her hands, the other end of which was connected to the array's base.

However, no matter how Fu Xuan adjusted the foundation stones in the formation, they could never align with the diagrams on the star map.

Bai Qiong remembered this setting; in the game, an NPC named Huixing would instruct players to adjust these array bases. Unexpectedly, here Fu Xuan was personally handling this matter.

He stood quietly to the side, not disturbing Fu Xuan, watching her try again and again, but the star map kept changing, so she could never succeed.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Fu Xuan's forehead and slid down around her third eye. Her brows were furrowed, clearly indicating that she had exhausted all her strength.

After more than ten minutes, Fu Xuan finally gave up. She sighed helplessly, returned to her desk, and slumped into a chair.

Fu Xuan picked up a cup of what appeared to be "Immortal's Joy Tea" from Never-Night Throat and took several large gulps, as if trying to swallow all his fatigue and irritability. "Cough cough..."

Bai Qiong coughed lightly.

At this moment, Fu Xuan noticed Bai Qiong's arrival. "When did you arrive? You didn't even warn me!"

Fu Xuan raised his head and looked at Bai Qiong, his eyes filled with a hint of weariness and confusion.
