Chapter 177: Luofu Celestial Jade Group? Is this how you're bringing "honor" to the Divination Commission?
"Don't you know that CEO Qing herself founded the Luofu Empyrean Jade Group and turned Celestial Jade into a game that's taken the galaxy by storm? She is the supreme authority, busy with a thousand matters every day. How could a shorty like you just see her whenever you want?"
"See this line? The people waiting to see CEO Qing are backed up from here all the way to the end of Aurum Alley. Go get a number from the side and wait your turn."
The security guard uncle spoke with disdain.
This plot development…
Left everyone at the scene completely dumbfounded!
Previously, the entire Divination Commission had fallen into a trap and become the laughingstock of netizens.
Fortunately, Qingque had stepped up in the end, saving the Divination Commission's last shred of dignity.
Fu Xuan had originally intended to use this mission to reclaim some face for the Divination Commission.
But she never expected!
Qingque's illusion was even more outrageous!
At this moment.
Another Fu Xuan appeared in the plot, speaking submissively: "I am but a common, ordinary errand girl under the Luofu Empyrean Jade Group… using my insignificant vision to predict stock indices for Lady Qingque."
[ What did CEO Qing do to you… ]
The other Fu Xuan clutched her forehead.
In a tone that mixed pain with pleasure, she said: "Qing… CEO Qing simply gave too much!"
!!!
Earlier, when the illusion was spouting nonsense and belittling the Divination Commission, Fu Xuan could still endure it.
But now.
Fu Xuan felt her blood pressure skyrocketing!
In this illusion of Qingque's.
Qingque had transformed into CEO Qing, while she herself had become her foot-washing maid!?
Even for Fu Xuan, she couldn't help but clench her fists, her teeth grinding together.
Beside her, Qingque.
Was suddenly struck by lightning!
Her entire being was frozen in her seat like a statue.
It really was a case of 'whatever you fear most, comes true'.
Lord Feather, oh Lord Feather…
Of all things you could show, why this?
You had to broadcast this segment!
This is practically "slapping" the Master Diviner's face in public!
But…
This plot is actually pretty satisfying…
If she were watching this in private, the corners of her mouth would be twitching with uncontainable excitement.
The problem is…
This was being played during her own commendation ceremony.
It was no different from having her pants suddenly fall down while giving a speech.
Qingque didn't know how she was going to get out of this.
The diviners watching from behind were all dazed.
Today, besides the commendation and learning from Qingque's spirit, weren't they supposed to discuss the future of the Divination Commission?
The appearance of this plot…
Was it a hint?
That the Divination Commission is finished.
And from now on, they should follow Qingque?
Such an outrageous thought flashed through the minds of many diviners.
They quickly dismissed it.
Better to stick with the Master Diviner…
At this moment.
Seeing the Master Diviner making such a fool of herself in the plot.
Though it was hilarious…
They really didn't dare to laugh!
The Master Diviner was sitting right in front.
Her face was so dark it looked like it could drip ink!
The most critical point was.
This segment.
Was already being live-streamed by the Divination Commission's official account.
It was being seen by the vast numbers of netizens.
This dealt another heavy blow to the Divination Commission, which had already lost face once!
On the left side, the bullet chat interface.
Which previously had only a few stray comments.
Suddenly exploded!
…
"Holy crap, what's the situation!"
"Just clicked in, why is Fu Xuan calling her Lady Qingque? Am I still dreaming?"
"Qingque bought Fu Xuan off! She gave too much!"
"Celestial Jade becoming a game that's taken the galaxy by storm? I wouldn't even dare to dream of that."
"What the hell is this plot?"
"This is a fan-edit, right? How could the plot of 'Honkai: Star Rail' have something this ridiculous?"
"Regrettably, this is a side quest in 'HSR.' This is Qingque's success story…"
"What Qingque? Call her CEO Qing!"
"Congratulations to CEO Qing for taking down the Divination Commission!"
…
Looking at the bullet chats on the screen.
Qingque's vision nearly went black.
She almost fainted from fright!
This was completely dancing on a grave, dancing on a tiger's head!
After this episode ends… she probably won't live to see tomorrow~
At this time.
The scene shifted.
It arrived at the Palace of Astrum.
But now, this place was the [ Empyrean Jade Group Headquarters ].
Planners for the Celestial Jade tiles were gathered together.
The sound of discussion rose and fell.
"Celestial Jade needs a revolution."
"The gameplay of Celestial Jade is too singular…"
"The new gameplay has been halted…"
"I told you, look at the feedback!"
"I looked at the feedback, I can't change it!"
A scene of thriving prosperity!
And beside the projection of the tactical map.
Stood the Qingque who had already become "CEO Qing"!
An operations planner was reporting to her: "Our operations department plans to implement more monetization dimensions for Celestial Jade. We intend to create customizable paid content for tile backs, tables, and players…"
"CEO Qing, please look! We fully understand that players don't like the turn-based mode where it's your turn then my turn. I've designed a real-time mode where you throw jade tiles to fight each other, called [ Jade Hegemony ]!"
"CEO Qing, this is [ Tiles & Dungeons ], where players roleplay different classes with different abilities!"
Qingque nodded: "Very good! Very good! These ideas are perfect. Before long, even the Baviru people will fall in love with Celestial Jade!"
"It seems my guest is getting impatient. You all continue with the R&D. I have some private matters to attend to."
…
"Holy cow, a genius!"
"Why is the Divination Commission still streaming? Is no one in charge?"
"I want to join the Luofu Empyrean Jade Group!"
"Is this Feathered Spirit satirizing some of the mainstream games in the galaxy right now?"
"Could it be that Feathered Spirit is actually the future CEO Qing?"
"The most logical episode yet."
…
The Qingque in the illusion had now completely immersed herself in her role.
She said to the Trailblazer: "If I hadn't met you all those years ago, I wouldn't have had the courage to resign and start my own business. How does that saying go? The gears of fate began to turn…"
"To repay you, I've decided to give you a chance to change your life. Follow me!"
"As for the others… Little Xuan, find something for them to do."
Little Xuan?
In front of the live-stream screen, Fu Xuan's hand trembled slightly.
Audacious, rebellious, disrespectful to elders, defiant of superiors…
All sorts of terms flashed through her mind.
It had been a long, long time since she felt this displeased!
Fu Xuan was now beyond furious!
Her Dao heart was shattered by this side quest plot!
Right now.
She was trying her best to restrain herself.
Taking deep breaths continuously.
Suppressing the urge to slap Qingque into the horizon.
Qingque, being so close to Fu Xuan.
Could naturally feel the fluctuations of the aura emanating from her.
She didn't even dare to breathe loudly now.
She was on high alert for Fu Xuan to suddenly lash out.
Qingque had already made up her mind.
The moment the Master Diviner made a move, she would drop to her knees and beg for mercy!
However.
Fu Xuan still endured.
She wanted to see.
What other nonsense this Qingque in the plot could pull off!
