At this moment. Qingque led the Trailblazer to the back of the group. In front of them were rows of glowing treasure chests! Qingque spoke up, "Our Luofu Celestial Jade Group is dedicated to providing the most exhilarating service to card players across the universe~!" "Unfortunately, the rules of Celestial Jade are too ancient and outdated. If we want to make people from different civilizations across the universe go crazy for it, we must inject it with a brand-new vitality." "You've just seen many different ways to play Celestial Jade cards, each with great potential. But I firmly believe that none is more infectious than the mode before us now." "I plan to add a gacha system to Celestial Jade!" "Players will open random chests and have a chance to obtain the Celestial Jade cards they're missing in their decks. A single draw could decide victory or defeat!" "Every time a chest is opened, there's a chance for a golden legend to appear!" "Give it a try! It won't be long before you're hooked on this feeling." As they approached the chests. Even. The interface directly displayed [Warp Once]. It didn't even bother to pretend! It was blatantly telling the players that this was a self-deprecating joke! Single draw! [Average Trash] Ten draws. [Average Trash] [Numbers-got-Nerfed Trash] [One-of-a-Kind Trash (Golden Legend)] [...] All trash! The scene. Fell into a brief silence. This outrageous plot even made the Diviners lose their composure! They couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy cow!" "Isn't this just the gacha mechanism from Honkai: Star Rail?!" "I've played satirical games before, but I never expected this game to roast itself!" "Qingque is truly a genius!" "Today has been an eye-opening experience..." Originally. The official live stream of the Divination Commission only had a few thousand viewers. The number of viewers has now skyrocketed to tens of thousands! ... "This side quest is even more exciting than the main storyline!" "As expected of the future star of the Divination Commission—Qingque!" "The creativity Qingque showed in the illusion has already been adopted by Yu Ling." "I'm really curious about the mental state of the developers..." "I've truly become addicted to the feeling of gacha pulls." "Why did the Divination Commission have to be the one to start the livestream?" "Lady Fu Xuan, are you there?" "Little Xuanzi, how dare you speak to my Qingque like that?" ... At that moment. There was a knock at the door. Fu Xuan burst in. Anxiously, she said, "N-no, it's bad, Qingque!" "Some terrible news—the Interastral Peace Corporation has replicated the rules of Celestial Jade and launched a new card game!" Qingque exclaimed in shock, "What? Quickly file a lawsuit! I'm going to sue them for infringement!" "Uh... there's even worse news! The Interastral Peace Corporation has already announced their new product!" "Ugh! Damn it, damn it! It's just a technical adjustment... Should I take a gamble on the new gameplay?" Qingque fell into tense contemplation. Meanwhile, on the right side of the interface. Four neatly arranged options appeared! [This is a high-stakes gamble, my friend!] [You can still take a chance, my friend!] [Why not go all out, my friend!] [We've come this far, my friend!] Qingque nodded and said, "You're right. I'm going to bet everything I have! Little Xuanzi, activate our emergency assets..." Fu Xuan sighed, "We've already been outmaneuvered by the Interastral Peace Corporation. They've bought all the shares of the Celestial Jade Group." "Completely wiped out, my friend." After a brief silence. Qingque's voice gradually grew hoarse and shrill, echoing in every corner of the room. "Why... why did things come to this?" Suddenly, Qingque turned her gaze to Fu Xuan. She shouted angrily, "You useless thing, you're fired!" In her seat. Qingque's forehead was instantly drenched in cold sweat! It's over! Everything's over! This storyline completely built me up only to blow me up like a firework in the sky! How am I supposed to face Lady Fu Xuan after this? How am I supposed to keep working in the Divination Commission? Suddenly. Fu Xuan, who was sitting beside her, let out a cold "Heh." Qingque's already fragile heart shattered completely. Lady Fu Xuan is so angry she's laughing! She's probably already thinking of all the ways to torment me in her mind, isn't she? Completely wiped out, my friend! Meanwhile, in the storyline. Fu Xuan suddenly became calm and composed, saying, "Hmph, the temper of the Heliobus CEO is truly something..." "Even someone as unambitious as Qingque has been trapped in the whirlpool of fame and fortune by it. But in the end, these are just illusions meant to deceive the host—they can be popped with a single poke." "How about it? With just a small trick, I easily shook the foundation of this one's beautiful dream." The voice of the Heliobus chimed in, "The dream I bestowed upon Qingque won't be shaken so easily by you! Listen well, Trailblazer, I have an idea that will make everyone rich!" "Represent the Astral Express and sign a contract with me. Together, we'll promote Celestial Jade to the untamed worlds. With the Express, we'll beat the Corporation to the blue ocean market. What do you think?" Fu Xuan replied, "It's a nice thought, but unfortunately, the Nameless won't agree to it." [Entering Battle] ... [Battle Concluded] The Heliobus possessing Qingque was successfully subdued. This "grand" illusion came to an end. The live stream concluded. But on the scene. Everyone remained seated. Their eyes unanimously turned to Fu Xuan and Qingque in the front row. Fu Xuan stood up. Qingque beside her immediately shrank back in fear. "Master Diviner, please, not the face!" Fu Xuan merely sighed. Looking utterly exhausted. She said, "Let's turn off the live stream first. Our Divination Commission has already embarrassed ourselves beyond Xianzhou." "I don't want to say anything more." "Everyone, go back and reflect on what happened." The Diviners pretended to be grief-stricken, scrambling to leave. In reality, they were eager to share today's events with their friends! Fu Xuan turned around. And looked at Qingque. "Qingque." "I... I'm here!" "Perhaps I've been too harsh on you usually... leading you to constantly think about resigning in the storyline." "I... will also reflect." "This Heliobus storyline has deeply moved me." "You have your unique qualities. From now on, I will view you with a dialectical perspective." Qingque stood frozen in place. In the storyline, she had done something so "treacherous." Even called the Master Diviner "Little Xuan"... Yet. The Master Diviner had just let it go? She wasn't fired? Instead, the Master Diviner said she would reflect? The Master Diviner had changed! Truly changed! Qingque even felt tears welling up. She immediately patted her chest and declared, "Master Diviner, rest assured!" "From now on, I will only recognize you as my leader!" "With a leader as broad-minded as you, I would have no regrets working in the Divination Commission until I'm old!" Seeing that most of the Diviners had left. Fu Xuan's gaze darkened: "Enough of that!" "Now, immediately, right away... go to the study and work overtime! Sort out the documents and archives!"
