Swallowing the Stars: The cheat system only comes when I'm almost a god?

Cola Novels - Dedicated to providing the most comfortable reading experience.

Leaving his clone behind to continue the experiment on the artificial Flame God bloodline, Lin Yuan's mind sank into the chat group interface that he hadn't been online for a long time.

As soon as it went live, a flood of message bubbles appeared.

[Yan Ling Ji: @Meng Qi, are you even human? You even tricked a little girl out of her candy!]

[Yan Ling Ji: I have never seen such a shameless person!]

[Meng Qi: Miss Yan Lingji, can't you be reasonable? Our transaction was clearly consensual, how did it become a scam?]

[Meng Qi: She herself wanted to exchange a lollipop for a blessing from the Primordial Celestial Venerable that her future achievements would be limitless. This was a fair trade, and I treated everyone honestly!]

[Ye Fan: I can testify that Xiao Meng did indeed say it, but it was an advance payment from the future Primordial Celestial Venerable.]

[Han Li: Hmm, at the end of the transaction he added, "This blessing is only valid for today."]

Han Tianzun added insult to injury, indicating that Xiao Meng's mistake this time was quite serious.

[Shi Hao: What is a lollipop? Is it tasty? Is it sweeter than animal milk?]

[Angel Yan: I haven't tried that colorful lollipop, so I can't compare it, but regular lollipops probably don't taste as good as Beast Milk.]

[Shi Hao: Oh...]

……

Looking at the scrolling messages, Lin Yuan was momentarily dazed.

What's going on?

Chang Wei is hitting Lai Fu... oh no, it's Yan Ling Ji chasing after Meng Qi and denouncing him?

He quickly scrolled up through the records and found that the outcry had lasted for more than half an hour, and the cause seemed to be related to the new member who had not spoken since joining the group.

Lin Yuan found it interesting, but since he had just logged in, he was not yet fully aware of the cause and effect.

With a slight thought, he created a temporary chat window outside the group chat interface and activated projection mode.

Several illusory lights and shadows quickly coalesced, transforming into clear images, showing several people sitting around in a virtual tea room.

The people who were pulled into this small group were the reliable Uncle Nine, the calm Ancient One, and the thoughtful Gu Xun'er.

"Several people..."

Lin Yuan asked, "As soon as I logged in, I saw Yan Lingji denouncing Meng Qi. What's going on here?"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Nine's old face showed a helpless expression, but then he couldn't help but laugh and cry.

He sighed, "Alas, this is a long story, and it's my fault for not stopping it in time."

Gu Xun'er covered her mouth and chuckled, a mischievous glint in her eyes: "Brother Lin Yuan, this time it really was Brother Meng Qi who brought this on himself."

"Please elaborate, everyone." Lin Yuan gestured for them to speak.

Uncle Nine then began his story from the beginning:

"Just over an hour ago, a group member named 'Who Says I'm Not a Vixen' suddenly spoke up."

There weren't many people online in the group at the time. Besides the Ancient One and I, who had plenty of free time, only that kid Meng Qi was online constantly chatting.

"I originally thought that I should welcome newcomers to the group first, and then explain the rules and functions of the chat group to them, so that they would not be confused."

At this point, his expression became quite interesting: "Who knew that I had only typed 'Welcome newcomer' and hadn't even had a chance to send it when that new group member spoke up first."

Gu Xun'er picked up the conversation, mimicking a deliberately fierce tone: "I am the Great Demon King of Tushan! Who are you? Quickly state your names! I... I'm not afraid of you!"

As if recalling the previous scene, Xun'er couldn't help but laugh again: "Brother Lin Yuan, that's exactly what she said back then."

Lin Yuan chuckled: "The Great Demon King of Tushan? That self-proclaimed title... is quite interesting."

Uncle Nine shook his head with a wry smile: "It was more than just interesting; I felt my head go blank for a second."

"Maoshan Ancestral Motto: Good and evil are opposed, and the struggle continues for a lifetime."

"This newcomer calls himself a Great Demon King right off the bat. I instinctively formed a magic seal and almost started drawing talismans in the air..."

Master Gu Yi added with a smile: "Master Lin Jiu froze at the time, typing and deleting words in the input box repeatedly, as if he was having a fierce internal struggle."

Should one immediately represent justice and vanquish the demons, or should one first fulfill their guiding duty?

Uncle Nine blushed slightly: "Master, please don't make fun of me..."

He continued, "Just as my brain was still shutting down, that kid Meng Qi chimed in."

With just a few words, he had the other person completely bewildered, praising "the mighty Demon King" and curiously inquiring about the so-called "scenery of Tushan."

"And then?" Lin Yuan could already imagine what would happen next.

Gu Xun'er laughed and said, "Then that Tushan Great Demon King was led astray by Brother Meng Qi. Before he could even ask, she had already revealed all the information herself."

She said her name was Tu Shan Ya Ya, and that she had an older sister, Tu Shan Hong Hong, and a younger sister, Tu Shan Rong Rong. She lived in Tu Shan Demon City, and that her family owned... well, they ran various businesses in Tu Shan. They seemed to be quite wealthy.

She also emphasized that although she was still young, her demonic power was immense, and she was the strongest fox demon in Tushan's future!

Uncle Jiu said helplessly, "Having heard this, I roughly understand."

Although this little friend Tu Shan Ya Ya calls herself the Great Demon King, she is clearly still a child at heart. She speaks frankly and has no scheming or malicious intentions.

Compared to another woman in the group... well, Ms. Angel Yan, who has a similar style, she's probably far less shrewd.

Just then, a message suddenly appeared in the chat window of the small group.

[Angel Yan: Daoist Lin Jiu, I must clarify one point: I am not cunning. Otherwise, how could Mr. Lin Yuan have described me as 'love-obsessed'?]

【Angel Yan:】

Everyone was taken aback, only then realizing that although this new window was separate from the main group chat, it was still essentially a function of the chat group, and other group members could also see the conversation here if they paid attention.

Clearly, Angel Yan, who had been spying on the screen, saw the "bad things" that Uncle Jiu had just said.

Surprisingly, Yan only clarified the issue of being cunning, but did not refute the assessment of being "reckless," which shows that she has a good understanding of herself.

Uncle Nine quickly apologized, "Miss Yan, please don't be offended. I misspoke."

"It's nothing, just kidding." Yan's figure materialized, and he said with a smile, "Daoist, please continue. I'm also very curious about Meng Qi's next amazing move."

Uncle Jiu composed himself and continued, "After figuring out Ya Ya's background, I wanted to remind Meng Qi not to go too far, since she is still a child."

Readers are hotly debating: What exactly happened? Join the discussion at Cola Novels.

Who knew that kid Meng Qi... he directly used his administrator privileges to silence me!

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow: "He dares to silence you?"

Uncle Nine smiled wryly: "That's right."

"He told me to be patient and wait until he completed his deal with the Demon King. But by the time my silence was lifted, it was too late to turn back."

At this moment, the Ancient One put down her teacup and said leisurely, "Young friend Meng Qi has fully demonstrated his eloquence and... cunning."

He first marveled at the fact that the "Five-Colored Stick" of Yaoxinzhai, as described by the other party, was a peerless product with a reputation that spread throughout the heavens, and expressed his boundless longing for it.

Then, with a touch of emotion, he added, "If I could share such a delicious meal with all the other members of the group, it would truly be a wonderful story."

Gu Xun'er couldn't help but chuckle: "Ya Ya was completely fooled at the time, thinking that this idea was particularly good. It could not only show her generosity as the Demon King of Tushan, but also follow the tradition of the group to give everyone a greeting gift."

Uncle Nine timely added crucial information: "However, Meng Qi changed the subject and began to complain about the hardships and loneliness of his cultivation path, saying that the pressure of the reincarnation mission was immense and that he urgently needed to eat some sweets to soothe his soul, implying that if he could have a large number of five-colored rods to support him, he might be able to grow into the Primordial Celestial Venerable faster."

In short, after a passionate performance, he successfully persuaded Tu Shan Ya Ya to exchange these colorful sticks for a blessing from Yuanshi Tianzun, and then guided her to send all the prepared colorful sticks to him in the form of a designated red envelope.

"All of them?" Lin Yuan asked.

Gu Xun'er nodded: "All of them. Ya Ya said that she bought them with her allowance for the month plus her credit limit at Yao Xin Zhai. There's a whole bunch of them."

After sending the red envelope, she was quite happy, feeling that she had done a great thing.

After receiving the red envelope, Meng Qi replied, "Thank you for the reward, Demon King. In the future, you will surely beat up the South Mountain Nursing Home and kick the North Sea Kindergarten, becoming the number one female demon king in all the heavens and myriad realms." Then he went offline.

Uncle Jiu was heartbroken: "Not long after, Miss Ya Ya came online again and said that her sister was very angry after finding out that she had spent so much money, and took her away to teach her a lesson."

Before logging off, she shouted, "The evil forces are going too far! I, Tu Shan Ya Ya, will definitely come back!"

Then Yan Lingji logged on and saw the whole story...

Lin Yuan had already seen what happened next in the main group chat.

After eating the Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit, Yan Lingji saw Meng Qi bullying the sweet and soft little fox-eared girl. She immediately felt a surge of justice and launched a moral condemnation that lasted for half an hour.

Angel Yan then joked, "Of course, judging from their subsequent chat logs, Yan Lingji is more likely so angry because Meng Qi took her share of the gift for himself. The core of their argument has now shifted to the amount of hush money."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan understood everything.

He recalled Tu Shan Ya Ya's words before she logged off, and a sudden realization dawned on him.

Not right.

A knowing smile curled at the corner of his lips. These shrewd fellows had probably been tricked this time... no, they'd been outsmarted by a fox.

Tu Shan Ya Ya is the second-in-command of Tu Shan. Even if she goes to Yao Xin Zhai to buy things on credit every day, there won't be any problems. Moreover, Tu Shan Hong Hong would really give her a stern lecture over something as trivial as her sister buying candy.

Moreover, if her sister really punished her, wouldn't that be proof that her sister was focusing her attention on her?

"It's hard to say whether this is a punishment or a reward in Ya Ya's heart."

More likely, after realizing that Meng Qi had fooled her, the little fox turned around and used this as an excuse to go to her older sister.

That's a brilliant move—retreating to advance, turning the tables and taking control.

The seemingly wronged little fox quickly pinned the blame for child fraud on Meng Qi, making him the target of public criticism and subjecting him to the wrath of Yan Ling Ji and the scrutiny of the crowd.

"No wonder she's a born vixen," Lin Yuan thought to himself. "She looks simple and reckless, but the cunning and acting skills hidden in her instincts are truly not to be underestimated."

Of course, he strongly suspected that Tu Shan Rongrong, the external brain of the Tu Shan chieftains throughout history, played a key role in this matter; otherwise, Tu Shan Ya Ya would probably be too tongue-tied to say anything even if she tried to fight back.

Having figured out the whole story, Lin Yuan felt it was time for this farce to come to an end.

With a thought, he returned to the chat group interface. The argument was coming to an end, and Yan Lingji and Meng Qi seemed to have reached some kind of agreement.

[Lin Yuan: @Meng Qi, I heard you have a batch of lollipops that are of dubious origin?]

As soon as this message came out, the jokes and instigation that were flooding the screen instantly quieted down.

Meng Qi replied almost instantly.

[Meng Qi: Brother Lin, listen to my excuse—no, I mean, explanation! That was money I obtained through legitimate transactions; there are congratulatory messages in the group as proof.]

[Lin Yuan: Oh? The blessing that only lasts one day?]

Ye Fan: *Pfft*

[Han Li:]

Lin Yuan: Enough with the nonsense.

Lin Yuan: The girl intends to share these things with everyone. Sharing is worse than keeping it to yourself, understand?

Distribute them all out to each person, and deduct half of your share as punishment for fooling the young girl.

[Meng Qi: Brother Lin, this is blatant robbery!]

[Meng Qi:]

[Lin Yuan: Hmm? You have a problem with that?]

[Lin Yuan:]

[Meng Qi: No! The expert is right, sharing is a virtue, I'll post it right now.]

A few seconds later, a lucky draw red envelope appeared in the group, and everyone who had been curious took action, even the few who had been lurking came out of the shadows.

Lin Yuan also received one.

In my hand is a crystal-clear lollipop, shimmering with iridescent colors, exquisitely shaped, and exuding a sweet fragrance.

He took a small bite, and the rich fruity aroma melted in his mouth, sweet and fragrant, with many layers, making him feel happy.

"The taste is indeed quite good," a thought flashed through Lin Yuan's mind, "Since we've already set up a dairy company, why not open a candy factory too?"
