Chapter 166: Taking on Disciples

【Harvest crops from one mu of land starting from sowing; Reward: Picking Hand (technique and speed of harvesting crops increased by three times)】

【Spread the ideology of Flaw, making 7893 people believe that Flaw is actually...; Reward: Pupil of Seeing Flaws】

【Language is wild, it is fickle; it can stir up human emotions, change the direction of events, and achieve one's own goals; for the next twelve hours, try to use a single sentence to enrage your interlocutor; Reward: Wrath of Man and God (when you are angry, you can influence the emotions of those around you, making them angry along with you)】

【Path to Fame, have ten thousand people acknowledge your level of Weapon Refinement; Reward: Earth Heart Fire】

【The Disciple has achieved success in their craft with no flaws in their virtue; you have proven your teaching level and obtained teacher qualifications; next, please teach more disciples. Recruit five disciples; Reward: Diligence (your disciples' cultivation speed increases by fifty percent)】

【Sect reputation, initiate or participate in an event in the name of the Justice Sect and take the top spot among sects of the same level; Reward: See Through (can see through the unreasonable aspects of Martial Arts and spells within a sect)】

【Pair up two people with some fame into a CP; Reward: 5 Red Threads of the Matchmaker】

……

Aside from those temporarily shelved by Lin Bai, such as the Kitchen God tasks for grinding culinary styles, these are all the tasks currently worth doing, and the rewards are strange and peculiar.

……

A wave of advertisements from the Beggar Sect went out.

The fame-seeking task for the Justice Sect was completed easily.

The Golden Light Array was automatically issued to the sect, but only Lin Bai, as the Sect Leader, could activate it.

However.

The Golden Light Array requires the consumption of a large number of Spirit Stones, otherwise, it is just an empty shell; the Spirit Stones accumulated by Huilong Temple were not many, so Lin Bai did not deliberately test the array.

……

Almost all the Beggar Sect players were casually destroying objects around them.

The Great Demon Dismemberment Technique of the Wanwu Youque System was finally collected: splitting the head, splitting the hands, splitting the feet, splitting the limbs, splitting the body, splitting the eyes, splitting the ears, splitting the chicken...

Except for the internal organs which cannot be split off individually, Lin Bai could already manage to tear himself apart into pieces instantly without anything happening.

But the new task given by the Wanwu Youque System was somewhat absurd.

The original task was just to make people experience Flaw, and what followed would not be affected.

The new task, however, left Lin Bai somewhat confused: make the world believe that Flaw is what?

Beauty? Evil? Ugliness? Rot?

It seems it could be anything!

This is just absurd!

To complete this task, the only way is to expand the scope of Flaw and stimulate more people's perception of Flaw, but without being able to sway their thoughts.

As for the task reward, the "Pupil of Seeing Flaws,"

I don't know what kind of thing it is; judging by the name, it should be a Pupil Technique...

……

Under the sparring of the Taoists from Huilong Temple, the aggrieved personal Disciple 【Deng Li Buduo】 finally maxed out the proficiency of the "Xianglong Shipi Zhang," successfully helping Lin Bai raise his teacher rank by a notch.

Now, he could finally teach more disciples.

The system rewarded too many good things, overshadowing the bit of internal energy feedback from the disciple's cultivation.

But this time, the task reward from the Haoweirenshi System System System was quite good: the disciple's cultivation speed increased by fifty percent.

Increasing the cultivation speed of uncontrollable players by fifty percent was of no benefit to Lin Bai.

After all.

The system tasks Lin Bai does pursue simplicity and efficiency, and the virtue points required by the Haoweirenshi System System System are all obtained through deception.

Why increase the cultivation speed of players who might stab him in the back at any time? But giving this benefit to people close to him would be quite good, such as the little white fox, Jiang Qingqin, Xu Longyun...

Can't pets be disciples?

Can't girlfriends be disciples?

They all can...

Being his own disciple and having their cultivation speed increased, why not do it?

In the future, when there are more slots for recruiting disciples, Lin Bai could completely rely on his own strength to take more of the natives he trusts to soar together.

Moreover, the Haoweirenshi System System System is only now truly on the right track; this time the reward is Diligence, and perhaps there will be more benefits waiting for him to discover in the future!

Anyway, he finds being a teacher easy.

Just hanging the name of a disciple is enough; he doesn't need to pay anything, and the tasks are all things done in passing.

……

The only thing that is relatively time-consuming is the task of the Farming System.

But that task is only time-consuming; find some seeds that are easy to mature, scatter them in the field, occasionally use the Spring Breeze and Rain Technique once or twice, and then just wait for the harvest.

……

As for the other system tasks, most of them are forcing Lin Bai to seek fame.

And things like pairing up two people with some fame into a CP...

All the tasks are forcing Lin Bai to stir up trouble.

Without the system urging him, Lin Bai also knew that his leisure time should come to an end.

Having reached this point, he had long since lost the ability to live comfortably in this world.

A pause means death.

Only by doing tasks will his strength improve rapidly.

Climb all the way up, climb to the very top.

Only by sitting on equal footing with those big shots can he ensure his own safety and truly stop to enjoy life.

As for whether this world is really a game, and whether there is a mastermind behind the system!

Lin Bai no longer considers it.

What is the use of that?

Once his level is sufficient, everything that is meant to appear will naturally appear.

……

He smoothed out the tasks in his mind.

Lin Bai turned his head to look at the bored little white fox beside him and smiled: "Xiaobai, let's go!"

"Not farming anymore?" The little white fox's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Not for now, we should go out and stir up some trouble." Lin Bai shook his head and smiled, "Otherwise, they will forget about me."

"Mm, stir up trouble, stir up trouble." The little white fox nodded vigorously, transformed from human form back into a small fox, and with a 'whoosh', burrowed into Lin Bai's arms.

She was naturally lively and had long since grown impatient with pulling weeds and removing insects in the fields.

"Xiaobai, do you want to take me as your master?" Lin Bai pulled the little white fox out of his arms and asked while looking at her little face.

"Hmm?" The little white fox looked at Lin Bai strangely, frowned in thought for a moment, shook her head, and said, "I don't want to!"

"Why?" Lin Bai asked.

"There is no need to take a master; Master will teach me skills anyway. If possible, I would rather be Master's wife." A hint of shyness flashed in the little white fox's eyes; she wanted to lower her head, but she quickly realized that avoiding Lin Bai's gaze at this moment would make her seem guilty, so she insisted on looking into Lin Bai's eyes and said, "Master, I also want to comprehend the laws of the Great Dao of Love and become the Love God, but after thinking about it, among the people I know, there is not one qualified spouse, only Master is the most suitable."

"……" Lin Bai was stunned for a moment, and some forbidden images flashed through his mind; his face turned slightly red, "You are still young, wait a few years before considering this issue!"

"Does Master not like me?" The little white fox asked aggrievedly.

"I do like you! But I am currently cultivating several laws at the same time, and the Great Dao of Love already has Jiang Qingqin, so it would not be very appropriate to be with you."

Lin Bai insincerely found an excuse.

The little white fox had undergone Form Manifestation according to his ideas; it could be said that she grew exactly according to his aesthetic preferences.

However.

The little white fox was too young; even though this was an otherworldly realm, Lin Bai could not get past that hurdle in his own heart.

Once she grew up to adulthood in a few years, and he had gained a voice in this world, without having to run around doing tasks like he was now, perhaps he could consider the matter of enjoying life.

At this moment, he was not suited to have too many attachments.

"Oh." The little white fox's mood instantly plummeted; there was nothing more hurtful than having a confession rejected. Tears instantly filled her eyes, and she asked with a choked voice, "Master, now that you know my thoughts, will you still treat me like you did before?"

"Of course." Lin Bai smiled and wiped the tears from the little fox, "No one would dislike someone who likes them. However, Xiaobai, it is better for you to take me as your master. I recently comprehended the Dao of the Teacher; there are benefits to being my disciple, as it can increase your cultivation speed."

"Okay." Before Lin Bai could finish speaking, the little white fox agreed readily. She looked at Lin Bai and gave a forced smile, "Then should I call you Master or Teacher in the future?"

"Call me Teacher. But once you become my Disciple, there is a requirement: you must hold yourself to a standard of virtue. Even if you do bad things, you must have a justifiable reason; you cannot be as willful as before." Lin Bai said firmly. The Pet System had no requirements, but the Haoweirenshi System System System did have requirements for virtue. Even a mosquito's leg is meat; he would take what he could get.

"Teacher, how can one have a justifiable reason for doing bad things?" The little white fox's mood came and went quickly; she soon shook off the feeling of heartbreak. She had arrived late and did not know the process of Lin Bai teaching virtue to Deng Li Buduo.

"For example, if you are walking on the road and see someone you don't like, and you want to hit them, what should you do?" Lin Bai asked.

"Just hit them directly!" The little white fox said.

"That is having no justifiable reason." Lin Bai smiled and said, "If you hit them for no reason, not only will the other party not be convinced, but people nearby will also feel that you are doing something bad, and you will be in the wrong wherever you go."

"Then I will hit the people nearby as well." The little white fox said, "Once I beat them until they are convinced, then I will be in the right."

"……" The corner of Lin Bai's eye twitched. He suddenly felt that being a teacher was really not that easy. He patted the little white fox's head and said, "That is also a method. But right now, what I am telling you about is the virtue of the Dao of the Teacher, which concerns the laws; do not change the subject again."

"Mm." The little white fox nodded, and then she perked up her ears, "Teacher, go ahead, I'm listening."

"You can question him: 'Why did you step on an ant while walking just now? All things in heaven and earth are equal; you deprived another of their life for no reason, which means you have no heart of compassion. Hitting you for no reason today is to make you feel the pain of the ant you killed for no reason, to make you realize empathy, so that from now on, you can revere life.'" Lin Bai casually gave an example and said, "This way, you can beat him up openly and honestly!"

The little white fox was dumbfounded. After a long while, she said: "But I feel like this is still a bad person! Even worse than just hitting them directly..."

"This is salvation; this is teaching him to understand reason, how can it be a bad person?" Looking at the little white fox's confused eyes, Lin Bai smiled, "Alright, I was just giving you an example to tell you what is called virtue.

You must not really go and bully good people for no reason. You have followed Master for so long; when have I ever bullied those inferior to myself?

After all, we are people of the Righteous Sect; we cannot let down our origins. But when dealing with bad people, you can do this; this way, you can keep yourself in an invincible position morally. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" The little white fox nodded blankly, lost in thought.

"It is good that you understand." Lin Bai nodded, "In the future, when I take on more disciples, you will be the one to tell them how to correctly become a person of virtue."
