Chapter 946: Why Is It So Hard to Do a Little Bad Deed?

Whoosh!

In an instant, everyone in the arena widened their eyes, dumbfounded.

"What... what is he doing?"

"Bullying a child right on the street?"

"Has this lad gone mad? Does he want to be thrown into prison the moment he arrives?"

Many were stunned; originally, they all thought Xu Que was rushing to do a good deed, planning to buy new candied hawthorns for the child to comfort him and thereby gain Good Value.

Who would have expected this fellow to eat the candied hawthorn himself and then flaunt it right in front of the child?

"Holy crap! So despicable!"

"I've never seen anyone like this; even if there were, they'd all be locked up in prison by now."

Everyone stared at Xu Que, while the old man in the black robe also wore a completely bewildered expression.

Only the old man stood stunned for a while before covering his forehead with a look of regret: "I knew it; this lad would act recklessly!"

However, the old man also breathed a sigh of relief, since the petty mischief Xu Que committed wouldn't affect him or his granddaughter, so it didn't matter.

"Waaah..." At the same time, the child finally reacted, bursting into loud wails right on the street, crying even louder than before.

Previously, he had cried only out of unwillingness after dropping his candied hawthorn.

But now, he probably had a psychological shadow cast over his heart.

"You... how can you be like this? Actually bullying a child!" At this moment, the child's parents glared at Xu Que, accusing him harshly.

The crowd suddenly brightened with realization; if they stepped in to defend the child and teach Xu Que a lesson, wouldn't that also be doing a good deed?

Immediately, several people reacted the fastest and rushed forward at once.

"Eh, wait, something's wrong!"

Suddenly, someone cried out in shock, pointing at the Good and Evil Jade Tablet on Xu Que's waist with an astonished face: "His... his Good Value, how did it increase by twenty points?"

"Hm?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was momentarily stunned, then turned their heads to look at Xu Que, only to be completely dumbfounded.

On Xu Que's Good and Evil Jade Tablet, the Evil Value had not increased; instead, the Good Value had risen by twenty points.

"What... what the hell is going on?"

"Damn it, on what grounds? This lad does a bad deed and still gains Good Value?"

"Is there something wrong with his Good and Evil Jade Tablet?"

Many people began shouting loudly, extremely annoyed and feeling it was terribly unfair.

One person stepped forward and shouted: "Where are the Constables? Where are the Constables? I demand an inspection into the reason this person gained Good Value!"

"Yes, exactly, go find the Constables!"

"Constables, we demand to inspect this person's Good Value records!"

Many people shouted in unison, and some had already run off to fetch the Constables.

Outside the crowd, the old man looked at the old man in the black robe in astonishment and asked: "Senior Brother, are there Constables here?"

The old man in the black robe nodded: "Once one's Good Value reaches a certain number, one can apply to become a Constable or a Jailor guarding the Prison, or even hold positions like Warden; as long as one serves in these roles, one can receive extra Good Value rewards annually!"

"So that's how it is!" The old man nodded slightly, then looked at Xu Que again, very curious about how this fellow had managed to obtain Good Value.

However, at this moment, Xu Que was also completely confused!

He grabbed the Good and Evil Jade Tablet at his waist, stared at the numbers on it, and wore a thoroughly baffled expression.

"What the hell is this?"

"This Saintly One of mine does a bad deed and still gets Good Value?"

"Are they trying to force me to reform... no, wait, force me to be good?"

"Make way, everyone make way, Lord Constable is here!"

At this moment, a shout rang out from outside the crowd; a Cultivator was seen leading a woman dressed in a black-gold uniform with the character "Constable" marked on her chest.

The woman was extremely beautiful, with exquisite features and a heroic air; her figure was equally impressive, making her overall appearance a tier above the old man's granddaughter.

Crucially, this female Constable's cultivation was also extraordinary, actually reaching the Human Immortal Realm Early Stage, her strength comparable to the Yaochi Saintess, Bai Cailing!

"Constable Lin, please come and judge this matter; this fellow just bullied a child yet actually gained Good Value; we suspect there is a problem with his Good and Evil Jade Tablet!"

"Yes, this is too unreasonable; it must be investigated!"

"It's too unfair!"

As soon as the crowd saw the female Constable arrive, they immediately swarmed forward, making a clamor as they spoke.

Before long, the female Constable had basically heard the whole story; her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly as she swept her gaze toward Xu Que and asked in a deep voice: "So you're the one who bullied a child right on the street?"

"That's right, it was me!" Xu Que puffed out his chest with a proud expression.

The crowd's mouths instantly twitched.

"Damn it, this fellow bullies a child and still has the audacity to be so self-righteous?"

"Bullying a child, yet still increasing Good Value?" the female Constable spoke again.

"Indeed, it did increase Good Value! Actually, I think there's no need for you to investigate the reason; I know exactly what's going on in my heart!" Xu Que nodded and said with a faint smile.

"Know... what's going on? Then tell us, why is this happening?" the female Constable asked.

Everyone also looked at Xu Que, eager to hear this fellow's answer.

Xu Que curled the corner of his mouth, brushed the bangs across his forehead with his hand, and smiled: "Because I'm handsome! Yes, you heard right; this place is not only the Good and Evil Village, but also a Good and Evil Village that judges by looks; as long as one is handsome, no matter what one does, it counts as a good deed!"

"..."

In an instant, the faces of everyone in the arena turned black.

"Being handsome means anything you do is a good deed?"

"What does that statement even mean?"

In other words, you're saying we're ugly?

Damn it, how can there be such a shameless person in this world?

"Hmph, nonsense! Whatever the reason, I'll know at a glance!" At this, the female Constable snorted coldly, flipped her hand, and produced a Volume of Jade Slip.

The Jade Slip was covered in Runes, exuding an ancient aura.

The female Constable condensed her two fingers, gathered her True Essence, and pressed them against one end of the Jade Slip.

Whoosh!

The Jade Slip immediately ignited with brilliant rosy light, growing increasingly intense; after refracting toward Xu Que, it rapidly transformed in midair into a glowing Ancient Book, its pages flipping rapidly.

Within moments, a Stanza of text emerged from the pages, projected into the air and reflecting into the eyes of everyone present.

"Villager Number 503 of Good and Evil Village has obtained 20 points of Good Value! Reason: Acting heroically for a just cause by punishing a child who littered on the Street and damaged the Village's environment."

This simple Line of text instantly plunged the entire Arena into a deathly silence.

Everyone was dumbfounded; even the female Constable wore a blank, stunned expression.

Acting heroically for a just cause?

This damn thing even counts?

"Holy crap!"

At this, Xu Que suddenly cursed loudly, saying with a face full of vexation, "Why say I acted heroically for a just cause? I didn't! I was purely bullying a kid! Damn it, why is it so hard to do something bad these days? It's making me furious!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood from sheer anger.

Screw it, does This Lad have any shame at all? Getting the advantage and still acting innocent?

At the same time, a system notification sounded in Xu Que's mind; invisibly, he had pulled off another round of Acting Cool, unexpectedly gaining over twenty thousand Acting Cool Points in one breath!

"Hiss!"

Xu Que immediately inhaled sharply, his eyes instantly brightening.

Although Good and Evil Village held no treasures, it was full of powerhouses; this damn place was simply a perfect spot for Acting Cool!

Immediately, Xu Que abruptly lifted his head and shouted with a determined expression:

"Outrageous! Today, I refuse to believe I can't even do a single bad deed. I'm not doing bad things to prove how evil I am, but to prove that besides being Handsome, I'm not completely useless!"
