Bengtie: A Genius's Out-of-the-Domain Idea

Lin Yi drawled, "However..."

Jing Yuan's eyes lit up. Everyone knows that once words like "however" or "but" appear in a conversation, it means that what comes before is unimportant, and what comes after is the key point.

Jingyuan: "Mr. Lin Yi, please speak freely."

Lin Yi: "I'm willing to make a bet with the Immortal Ship—"

Jing Yuan: "What kind of bet is it?"

"How about we bet on whether Marshal Hua, disguised as Tingyun, can encounter Huanlong and defeat the Great Lord Juemie?"

"If the above situation occurs, then I can try to study a more gradual completion plan. Of course, it will take a long time and may not make any progress at all, even after two Amber Ages. If it doesn't happen, then let the other Dragon Lords of the Immortal Ship take turns letting me study them."

Jing Yuan squinted: "Really?"

Lin Yi squinted: "Really?"

Lin Yi had a sudden thought, and Zhu Xing started broadcasting again: "General Jing Yuan is busy with official duties, so I won't bother you any longer. Go watch some fun."

Anything related to Scott is bound to be hilarious, especially since Aja is involved; don't miss it!

Jing Yuan closed his eyes in deep thought, then launched a barrage of calls at General Rong Tao and Yao Guang.

Deep within the "Jade Palace Immortal Boat," an ancient "bell" is struck, its ripples sweeping across the gravitational ravines.

Then, light burst forth from the "Luofu Immortal Boat"—the crisscrossing stone chessboard—and wove together General Rong Tao's seal.

Before Jing Yuan could even speak, the sound of light emanating from the seal came out.

Yao Guang is a more composed and experienced version of Fu Xuan plus.

Yao Guang: "Stop arguing! It's impossible!"

Jing Yuan: "Haha, truly worthy of being General Rong Tao! You knew the cause and effect before I even spoke. But I've never heard of 'Ten Directions Illuminating the Dharma Realm' being able to divine secret conversations."

Yao Guang: "Heh~ The Alliance praises Mr. Jing Yuan as having 'brilliant wisdom, no less than military strategy'?? He should know cause and effect; how could the Jade Palace ignore the impending calamity of Luofu?"

With the fourth war of abundance imminent, General Rong Tao, who serves as the eyes and ears of the alliance, has been tirelessly using the "Ten Directions Illuminating the Dharma Realm" to predict good or bad fortune day and night.

The overall hexagram is Thunder over Mountain (小过), which, while auspicious, also has its share of twists and turns.

(The hexagram is in Chapter Seven)

If one does everything in their power, the outcome will be like the Tai hexagram (representing peace and prosperity), indicating a narrow escape and great fortune. However, if one leaves it to fate, even for the immortal boat, it could be a very unfortunate situation.

The divination had already determined that the inauspicious location was between Zhen and Xun.

The ominous signs are in the Zhen and Xun directions, where wood signifies prosperity but lacks sustainability. The calamity is in Luofu, indicating that a villain is plotting to seize the Jianmu tree.

The divination result matched Lin Yi's intelligence, which is why Marshal Hua personally went to Luofu.

The previous ominous omens all meant the ship would capsize.

The alliance cannot afford to lose even a single immortal vessel, even if it is only a possibility.

Yao Guang: "How could the whereabouts of a supreme ruler of annihilation be so easily predicted? However, what you are thinking about now is very auspicious."

Jing Yuan: "Now I feel at ease. Thank you, General Rong Tao."

Yao Guang: "The resonance time of the Huangzhong system is limited. Remember what I'm about to say."

"This allied force of abundance is already easily defeated, like grass and trees battered by a storm. A seemingly auspicious sign... yet new gloom is brewing, and calamity is brewing—"

Jingyuan: "Is it the locust plague that brought disaster to our ancestors, or... the Vidyadhara?"

Yao Guang: "I don't know. I'm not some learned scholar. It's already quite difficult for me to decipher this from such a limited amount of information!"

Yao Guang chuckled softly: "Hehe~ Luofu was the first to respond to the ominous direction. This hot potato is yours~"

"3~2~1~Goodbye—"

As soon as Yao Guang finished speaking, the seal symbolizing General Rong Tao disappeared.

Jing Yuan was both amused and exasperated, but after communicating with General Rong Tao, he felt relieved. He was also concerned about the new gloom, but he had to take things one step at a time and focus on the immediate situation first.

Zhu Xing pulled Ting Yun along, hurrying on their way: "Hurry, hurry!"

It's too slow. Zhu Xing even wants to abandon 'Ting Yun' and go watch the fun first.

Her super hearing, which allowed her to hear protons perish, told her that the excitement had already begun!

Even Lin Yi got impatient and spoke through the device: "Teleport! Tear open space and teleport! What's with all that equipment?"

Chasing Stars: "Eh~ Teacher?"

"The spatial conditions of the immortal ship are complex, and I am not very familiar with them."

Lin Yi: "I'll help you with the remote correction, quick!"

'Tingyun': "Is this Mr. Lin Yi?"

Zhu Xing: "Yeah, I'm live-streaming for the teacher. This isn't important. We'll talk about it later. Watching the fun is the most important thing."

'Tingyun': "But—"

The Star Chaser bracelet was untied as before, gliding through space. This time, under Lin Yi's remote micro-management, the space was incredibly spacious, without any messy spatial turbulence or imaginary number overflow.

Fanghu Longzun and the general are still not sure if they are the same person. They tend to think that they are two people. Otherwise, if they were to be reborn, Fanghu's top combat power would be completely wiped out.

Chapter 185 Adhering to the Law, Scott

Zhu Xingsuo pulled Tingyun to Changletian Youxiating.

Tingyun hesitated, then said, "There was a 'Changing Mirror Screen' over there just now..."

Chasing Stars: ......

Never mind, watching the excitement is more important.

Scott's mesmerizing voice could be heard from afar.

"Ouch, my stomach! Pay up! I want you to pay up! If you dare not pay, I'll report you to the Land and Resources Bureau for operating without a license and disregarding the law; illegally occupying roads and disrupting traffic; being unsanitary and creating numerous hidden dangers; causing noise pollution with impunity; evading taxes and enriching yourself at the expense of the public; affecting the city's appearance and polluting the environment; and illegally selling dangerous biological weapons! Ouch, my stomach~"

Scott clutched his stomach with one hand, his legs trembling, and pointed at the vendor with the other, his voice sharp, clear, and logical.

Every rule is inseparable from the law, and every sentence is inseparable from the Earthly Balance Bureau. Even the old residents of Xianzhou who have lived there for hundreds of years may not understand the laws established by the Earthly Balance Bureau as well as Scott does.

He really is~ ( )

Such people feel they will succeed no matter what they do.

At this moment, Gui Naifen and Su Chang arrived.

"Office dogs get out of the fairy boat: Xiao Guizi, look over there~ The one surrounded by a bunch of office dogs looks like the person you're looking for."

"Look at Di Ting? Jia Hao: It seems so. So many people are surrounding one person. It's obvious that company employees are bullying someone again."

"Shang Ziwei gifted me a light arrow."

"Shang Ziwei: Not bad, it's obvious that the company is bullying the small vendor who is weak and alone. It must be because he took away the company's cakes, bread, lotus root cakes, tapir rolls, Xingcha Haiyue, Dongtian Chenlu, Yujing Bazhen Stewed Three Delicacies, General's Roast, Six Imperial Heavenly Vegetarian Dishes, Roasted Sky Fish, Mengmo Braised Bamboo Shoots, Ingenious Tofu Casserole, Huangshi Spring Dawn Soup, Furong Liaoxin Soup, Qingrou Wonton Noodles, Luofu Longevity Noodles, Egg Fried Rice, Floating Goat Milk Jelly, Xingyu Bobo, Linyuan Sparkling Water, Dongtian Ice Brew... Come to Shang Ziwei and enjoy delicious food. Limited-time 22% off for the 1100th anniversary of its opening."

Gui Naifen instinctively began to express her gratitude upon seeing the tip: "Thank you Shang Ziwei for the tip... Goodness, you're reciting the menu here, what a novel way to advertise."

Gui Naifen: "Family members, I'll go and find out what's going on."

A large group of company employees surrounded a street vendor, chattering incessantly.

This definitely looks like they're bullying the boss, but even if you're going to step in to help, you should at least understand the situation beforehand.

Gui Naifen gently patted Huo Huo's shoulder in front of her: "This fox-woman sister, whose age I don't know, please wait a moment. May I ask her something—"

Huo Huo: "Wow!"

Tail cursed inwardly at being a useless coward. She was easily startled by even a simple greeting. There were too many people around now, so it wasn't convenient for her to come out. Otherwise, she would definitely come out to control Huo Huo and practice her courage.

Watching the excitement is also in the nature of the people of the Immortal Ship. The life of the immortal people of the Immortal Ship is too slow-paced and too uneventful, so they all crowd over when there is a little excitement.

So Huo Huo was originally hiding peacefully in the alley, planning to wait for the crowd to disperse before capturing the soul, but she was inexplicably squeezed here by the crowd.

Huo Huo had just been squeezed in and didn't know what was going on. However, Huo Huo, Gui Naifen, and Su Chang felt like old friends at first sight. Su Chang's carefree attitude and Gui Naifen's fiery enthusiasm made Huo Huo instinctively feel relieved and temporarily follow along.

Tail also wanted to watch the excitement; otherwise, Huo Huo would definitely have wanted to stay far away from such a place.

The ghost-catching team is only missing the Star Core Essence; of course, there are no ghosts to catch right now.

Of course, if we include illusions, then there are some.

Huo Huo: It doesn't count! You're not allowed to count! It absolutely cannot count!

Soon, thanks to her excellent professional communication skills, Gui Naifen found out what had happened.

A company executive named Scott bought a cup of soda soy milk from this street vendor and is now claiming that the soy milk was problematic and that he got sick from drinking it, demanding compensation.

However, based on Gui Naifen's observations, she dared to guarantee, based on her many years of experience traveling all over the country, that this was definitely a staged accident.

She'd tried soda soy milk before, and while it might not suit her taste, it wasn't enough to make her feel this way.

And look at those wobbly calves, pale face, cold sweat dripping from his head, he looks like he's about to poop in his pants.

If a normal person were in that situation, they wouldn't be arguing about compensation; they would have gone to the toilet long ago.

Therefore, Gui Naifen concluded that this was an act, and that it was definitely a malicious attempt to extort compensation.

Unfortunately, Scott is not a normal person. If defying fate has a destiny, he would be a star god defying fate.

"Then how much compensation do you want?"

The boss is trying to settle things peacefully. He would never have compromised so easily before the new year, but now that he's older, he's too lazy to bother with penny-pinching gains and losses.

You can't take a patrol arrow with you when you're born or when you die.

Scott calculated meticulously: "Compensation for emotional distress, nutritional expenses, medical expenses, lost wages, etc., totals 1,374,800 credits!"

A chorus of boos erupted from all around.

Su Chang was counting on her fingers how many patrol points that amounted to, and how many months' salary she could earn.

I spent ages trying to figure it out but couldn't, but I'm pretty sure it's a scam.

Wow, what an astronomical price!

The boss said, "This guest from out of town seems to be quite unwell. Would you like to go to the Dan Ding Si for a checkup?"

The boss twisted his neck and counted on his fingers: "If it is indeed caused by this soy milk, I am willing to compensate you. If not, I am also somewhat skilled in martial arts."

"If you wish to pursue legal proceedings through the Balances Department, I am happy to oblige."

Gui Naifen: "No need for that."

Scott: "And who are you? What's it to you?"

Gui Naifen: "Me? I'm just a small-time streamer who helps those in need."

Su Chang: "So many people ganged up to stage an accident and bully an old man. How can you have the nerve to do this? You're really bringing shame to the company."

Scott: "Oh ho, I see. You're a young girl with an overflowing sense of justice. I'd like to see what you're up to. It's a fact that I bought soy milk from him, and it's also a fact that I got an upset stomach after drinking it."

"My claim for compensation is based on my rank and benefits at 'Interstellar Peace Company,' calculated in terms of lost working hours. It's reasonable, legal, and compliant."

"Tell me, what are your plans? How do you intend to uphold justice? To overturn his conviction or to seek compensation for him?"

Gui Naifen: "I told you, there's no need for that."

Suddenly, Gui Naifen tickled Scott's armpit.

I only meant to make him laugh, but he couldn't keep up the act once he started laughing. Gui Naifen was still pleased with her own cleverness.

The field fell silent instantly, and everyone retreated in unison.

Chapter Two: Daytime

Daily Quiz: In the game's description of the recipes for "Shang Zi Wei," what do Huang Shi, Fu Rong, and Qing Rou refer to respectively?

Chapter 186 Scott: I approve of your opportunism and taking advantage of others' misfortunes!

Gui Naifen was dumbfounded. Seriously? You're really going to do this? You're going to hold it in even like this?

Scott slowly turned to look at Gui Naifen with an incredulous gaze, and said through gritted teeth, "I acknowledge you. Among all the people I've dealt with, no one is stronger than you when it comes to taking advantage of others' misfortunes."

The live stream chat was flooded with comments, creating an explosive entertainment effect.

Everyone loves to watch a company make a fool of itself.

Scott patted the office worker next to him on the head: "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get me some new pants!!! Then escort me to the bathroom, no, back to the hotel, back to the hotel to take a good shower!"
