Chapter 297: Lin Bai, Who Always Profits

*Justice Weekly* was the first to report the results of the talks between Patriarch Yuan Qing, Sect Leader of the Heavenly Dao Sect, and the Alliance Leader of the Justice Alliance.

For a time, the outside world was in an uproar.

No one would have thought that in this confrontation between the new generation and the old ruling class, the first to concede were the high and mighty Seven Righteous Sects, and they even provided war reparations.

Therefore, the Justice Alliance, which had appeared precarious in the eyes of the world, finally gained a firm foothold in this world.

Many powerful clans and wealthy merchants who had previously been watching from the sidelines vied to contact the Justice Alliance, invest in the Justice Alliance's industries, and exhausted every means to send their own Disciples to work for the Justice Alliance.

People's enthusiasm for the Dao reached an unprecedented high.

The booklets on practicing "Words Manifesting into Law" were selling like crazy in the literary world; previously there was only the *Good Words Chapter*, but now there were also the *Evil Words Chapter*, the *Love Words Chapter*, and so on.

*The Heavenly Flaw Collection* likewise launched a new round of panic buying; it was regarded as a super secret manual for practicing the Incomplete Dao and the Dao of Love.

After all.

Lin Bai's signature divine ability, Magpie Bridge, was realized from within *The Heavenly Flaw Collection*.

When *Justice Weekly* recounted the Battle of Zhen City, it interspersed a large number of real images from the battlefield, and the new Skill, Binding Immortal, became the new favorite of lovers obsessed with the Dao of Love.

Couples purchased ropes and, referring to the pictures in *Justice Weekly*, practiced the Binding Immortal technique on their lovers, and thus, they discovered that Binding Immortal truly helped in the enhancement of their affections...

Chefs everywhere heard of the miraculous effects of the dishes Lin Bai made and immediately enshrined Lin Bai as the Kitchen God.

One after another, they invited back portraits or statues of Lin Bai holding a knife, worshipping them day and night in their homes, attempting to comprehend the Great Dao of Cooking from them...

The monarch and subjects of Taiyi Kingdom celebrated together, as if they had forgotten the panic and tension before the Battle of Zhen City; this decision, which had gambled the nation's fate, was one they had won, and they had won it as if it were a windfall.

What made them even happier was that Lin Bai's interests intersected with theirs, yet they did not infringe upon each other; there was no question of who was suppressing whom, and the two sides were more like partners in a win-win situation. The monarch and subjects of Taiyi Kingdom liked this kind of relationship.

Countries like Taichu and Taihao seemed to see new hope and contacted Lin Bai through various channels.

The bottom line for the Seven Righteous Sects and the Demonic Five Sects was not to allow the Justice Alliance's patent rights to extend beyond the borders of Taiyi Kingdom, but they did not forbid Magpie Bridge and commerce.

Any person with foresight could see the influence of Magpie Bridge on the world situation, and even if they didn't realize it, the players would convince them.

To do a good job, one must first sharpen one's tools.

If transportation is not up to par, the economy cannot rise, which means that in this transformation of the era, they will fall further and further behind.

In the near future, Magpie Bridge will surely become the lifeblood of every country; no one hopes for such a lifeblood to be held in the hands of one person, but under the pressure of the general trend, they have to bite the bullet and introduce Magpie Bridge.

Nowadays.

Whether it is the Seven Righteous Sects or the Demonic Five Sects, they are all hoping that Lin Bai's Dao is real, and it would be best if talents capable of mastering the Dao could also be born within their own sects.

Or, they could also create similar divine abilities to contend with the Dao.

Under the influence of this line of thought, the study of Space Dao and the Super Fast Transit Spell was also put on the agenda by various countries and sects.

Better safe than sorry.

The balance established through war between the Seven Righteous Sects and the Justice Alliance was too fragile, and the personality Lin Bai displayed to the world was so unstable.

If they didn't take advantage of the peace bought with humiliation and money to study countermeasures, when Lin Bai eventually turned hostile, they would ultimately still face the difficult situation of being constrained by others.

But all of a sudden, how could it be easy to break through technical barriers?

Therefore.

The Heavenly Descended from another world and the civilization of their world became the life-saving straw for the sects and countries...

The status of players, especially research-oriented players, rose with the tide.

Lin Bai's reputation was at its zenith; besides the players, more natives regarded Lin Bai as an idol, and his fans grew rapidly as if they had gone mad.

In just half a day, the number exceeded one hundred thousand.

This helped Lin Bai attain the status of a Second-rate Star.

It granted him the Intermediate Idol Aura; when he is with his fans, the fans' combat power increases by an additional thirty percent.

The Lin Bai Support Group in Zhen City sensed the change in combat power immediately, which made them overjoyed, thinking that their efforts during this period had been effective; they worshipped Lin Bai all the more, and practiced even harder, thinking of the day they could fight side-by-side with their idol.

The Idol System issued a new task for Lin Bai: 【Second-rate Star, possess over ten million fans; Reward: Visual Blindness (your fans will turn a blind eye to your shortcomings)】

Regarding the Idol System's new task, Lin Bai likewise chose to turn a blind eye.

All the groundwork had been laid; he only needed to be the most perfect version of himself, and his fans would naturally grow slowly; worrying any more would be a waste of emotion.

Besides.

The rewards from other systems were already enough to use, and the Idol System was merely an extra bonus.

At the same time the Idol System task was completed, the tasks for the Craftsman God System and the Yuelao System were also completed.

Before cooking, the introduction he had made for the kitchen knife he had crafted for himself, accompanied by the publicity of *Justice Weekly*, became known to the world, and he harvested the Intermediate Dharma Treasure Theory.

And after the Purple-Clothed Ancestor finished listening to the story of Bai Niang Zi and imagined the legendary love story between herself and Hu Qing, it was published in *Justice Weekly*. In this world where entertainment was relatively scarce and love was all the rage, it immediately caused a sensation. First there was Lin Bai and the little white fox, then the Purple-Clothed Ancestor and Hu Qing; people began to accept love between different species.

Lin Bai harvested the new Skill, Butterfly Transformation.

The completion of these three tasks was entirely thanks to the assists from the Seven Righteous Sects. Their concessions not only boosted the prestige of the Justice Alliance but also diverted the world's gaze away from the conflict between the two sides and focused it on Lin Bai himself. If Patriarch Yuan Qing had known that their retreat would allow Lin Bai to obtain so many benefits, he probably would have bitten the bullet and launched an attack on the Justice Alliance to block Lin Bai's path of growth.

I have to say.

Having many systems has this benefit; no matter what one does, or what the enemy does, one can always get a generous return.

New task for the Craftsman God System: 【Craft weapons for three people of prestige, and have their weapons recognized by the world; Reward: Heart Refining Method】

New task for the Yuelao System: 【Make people spontaneously build temples for the Love God, and sincerely believe that love blessed by the Love God will be more beautiful; Reward: Phoenix Seeks Phoenix (you can designate a male creature to display its talents to a female creature)】

Lin Bai did not know what the Craftsman God System's Heart Refining Method was, but the new task rewarded by the Love God System, Phoenix Seeks Phoenix, made his eyes light up.

This looked like a powerful control skill at first glance, much better than Binding Immortal and Running to the Moon.

After all, Running to the Moon had almost been cracked by people, and the rope needed for Binding Immortal was too flimsy; it would snap as soon as someone struggled, failing to act as a Binding Immortal Rope at all, but designating a male creature to perform talents for a female creature...

They couldn't possibly find a loophole in courtship talents, could they!

Even a peacock needs to display its feathers to a peahen for a long time during courtship, right?

However.

The requirements for the new mission are also quite high; it is easy to have the masses spontaneously build temples for him, but making them believe that love blessed by him will be beautiful seems a little difficult!

After all.

The couples he has enlightened along the way were all for the sake of battle, and there is hardly a single proper couple; whether it is Qingyu and Huaxi, Pei Yanzong and Li Zhenren, Wuwang and Zhou Zu, or the latest Purple-Robed Ancestor and Hu Qing, they are all quite disaster-ridden, making it very hard for people to associate them with anything beautiful...

It took a day to smooth out the plot, and tomorrow I will resume the normal update volume!
