Chapter 163 Moral Value Settlement

Whether it's the Dark Night Rose or Yuanshi Tianzun,

both are eye-catching "labels". Once the post was published, the number of reads increased by hundreds per second, and the number of comments also climbed steadily. In less than ten minutes, there were three or four hundred.

By 9:30 a.m., the morning rush hour was over, most people were at work or had gotten up, and the post had 999+ comments.

[Lonely One Has Ailment: Front row! Why is it about Yuanshi Tianzun again? I'm tired of his news. Marking this for later when I get to the office.] [Piggy George: There's been too much information about Yuanshi Tianzun these past few days, it feels like he's always causing trouble, never stopping.]

Ever since Yuanshi Tianzun became an official member of The Way of the Extraordinary, events about him have popped up every now and then, and every one of them is a big deal. Many people in the forum think he's too much trouble, one thing after another, never-ending.

Fortunately, the Evil Profession Trials have been happening recently, with hunts and counter-hunts happening everywhere every day, and the online discussion is high, which has somewhat diverted attention. If it were during a period of calm waters, there would definitely be a bunch of people complaining: I'm tired of it!

The post is very long, talking about how, after the mass physical examination, the Songhai branch leaders plan to conduct a thorough investigation of the middle and lower levels to prevent any fish from slipping through the net. So they appointed Yuanshi Tianzun, who has a clean record and outstanding abilities, to investigate secretly.

Through Yuanshi Tianzun's efforts and voluntary 007 spirit, they finally locked onto a target - Chi Yuean, the deacon of Shakou District.

According to the investigation,

Chi Yuean, of Second Update Speed, has long been acting as a protector for black and evil forces, keeping women as slaves, selling silver, bribing dignitaries in Shakou District for profit, and is suspected of unfair business competition. The list goes on, including testimonies from female victims.

It's hair-raising and shocking.

[Looking Forward to the Future: Is this something a Lawful profession can do? How did he climb to the position of deacon? Don't the senior elders need to investigate? Oh, right, the officials are Lawful too, they do whatever they want, their bellies full of the people's hard-earned money.]

[Regretting the Past: Brother, be careful what you say. But this Chi Yuean is really inhuman, kill him, kill him quickly. It makes my blood pressure rise. We have mass physical examinations every year, but there are still so many scumbags occupying positions without doing anything. Is the mass physical examination just for show? I have reason to suspect that the senior leaders of the organization are involved.]

#Looking Forward to the Future has been muted for ten minutes by the administrator#

#Regretting the Past has been muted for thirty minutes by the administrator#

The two who spoke the most sharply were given ten-minute and thirty-minute mute packages by the forum management.

[Lonely One Has Ailment: The two brothers above are being too extreme. Lawful doesn't mean saintly, everyone has evil thoughts, the difference is just that some people don't have the opportunity. Scumbags are hard to eliminate, so we have mass physical examinations every year, and we have to eliminate evil practices every year. This persistence is the most important thing. Besides, Chi Yuean is a member of the Dark Night Rose, it can only be said that the Dark Night Rose is too disgusting. Kill them on sight from now on. By the way, I take back what I said earlier, Yuanshi Tianzun did a great job. Things like this are always welcome, I'll never get tired of it.]

[Piggy George: The Dark Night Rose has infiltrated our Five Elements Alliance a bit too much, another deacon... I've read the post many times, and I feel excited and gratified. It's a pity that the details of what happened weren't written out in detail. Have you noticed? Chi Yuean was captured alive on the spot, and that scumbag is a Saint! How did Yuanshi Tianzun do it?]

[Jiang Yang: The post said that the investigation and evidence collection were done alone, but it didn't say that he captured Chi Yuean alone. Sigh, if I had a teammate like that, I wouldn't slack off.]

[Passionate Jenny: Wow, my opinion of Yuanshi Tianzun has changed. I used to think he was a genius and looked pretty good, but I didn't expect his character to be so excellent. He's an upright child. There can be many geniuses, but those who maintain order are the most respected. The senior leaders of the Songhai branch are still doing things, it's so gratifying.]

[Please Call Me Queen: I've finished reading it, it's hard to imagine that a deacon could be so depraved. Yuanshi is indeed the man I have my eye on, he's great. He will definitely become a deacon in the future, and I want to transfer to Songhai.]

[Princess: Hmph, although the Chi Yuean incident is infuriating, the Songhai branch's attitude of sweeping away stubborn diseases is worthy of recognition. It's better than our branch. Our branch is full of corrupt elements, and I suspect they are all members of the Dark Night Rose. I suggest the headquarters transfer Yuanshi Tianzun to investigate the case.]

Yuanshi Tianzun's reputation suddenly became golden, with praise everywhere.

This is different from the cheers for killing Li Xianzong and venting anger on behalf of the officials. The former's reputation boost is concentrated on concepts such as "powerful" and "genius", awe without respect. Sweeping away stubborn diseases and punishing evil is an addition to personality and character.

Although such people will face a huge backlash if they ever fail, as long as they stick to their moral qualities, they will be a golden brand. Over time, in addition to praising Yuanshi Tianzun, the Songhai branch has also received great praise.

Look at their attitude, they investigate if there are bad elements, and they arrest if there are bad people. This is the attitude that senior leaders should have. As long as the root is not rotten, a few pests will be brought to justice sooner or later.

[Please Call Me Queen: I just went to inquire about some information. Do you know the background of this Chi Yuean in the Songhai branch? He used to be a live-in son-in-law of the Zhu family, but later divorced and joined the Five Elements Alliance. It is said that he is very close to the Zhu family.] [Lonely One Has Ailment: Oh, a live-in son-in-law of the Zhu family, no wonder he is so lawless. Which deacon without a background would dare to be like him?]

[Princess: Divorced? Whose daughter of the Zhu family was he a live-in son-in-law for?]

[Please Call Me Queen: The Zhu family head's sister. Her reputation in the circle is not very good, it is said that she likes to keep male concubines and her lifestyle is very problematic. In addition, she is also a pervert who likes to abuse male concubines. I just found out that last year she made a pretty boy unable to function, it was very cruel. Do you think Chi Yuean divorced because he couldn't stand her? Moreover, the post said that Chi Yuean likes to abuse women... I can't say anymore. If anyone wants to know more, send me a private message.]

The dim study.

The amber-colored desk lamp shines on the computer screen. The Great Protector, cloaked, sits at the desk, reading an email.

The email is exactly the post about Chi Yuean on the Five Elements Alliance forum, with the bonus of the official member's angry reply scolding the Dark Night Rose. As he reads, the lips under the hood are tightly pursed, and his face twitches slightly.

"This group of shameless elders in the Songhai branch is going too far." The Great Protector let out a suppressed, low-pitched curse.

So they're splashing all the dirty water on my Dark Night Rose, huh? They're bullying the Dark Night Rose for not having the power to control public opinion, huh?

The Great Protector slowly exhaled a breath of foul air, thinking that the official internal arena competition was approaching, and it was time to give them a surprise.

"Ding ding ding..."

The phone rang, breaking the silence. The Great Protector grabbed the communication device next to him, glanced at the caller, and answered the phone.

"Great Protector, I heard about it, the Songhai branch is going too far, they've actually caused my Dark Night Rose to lose another Saint! This hatred must be avenged!" An angry scolding came from the direct subordinate on the phone. The corners of the Great Protector's mouth twitched fiercely.

The Dark Night Rose is a secret organization, and there is no contact between the members, only with their direct superiors.

Apart from the leader, only the three Great Protectors can view the information of the middle and lower-level members, so even Saint-level members don't know how many people are in the organization, and which organization or position they are assigned to. "But speaking of which, that Chi Yuean is really a pervert. There are so many ways to make money, but he chose the most despicable one. How could our Dark Night Rose recruit such a degenerate?" The Great Protector took a deep breath, his voice low and hoarse: "Are you very idle? Have you killed Fu Qingyang? Have you killed Yuanshi Tianzun?" "This..." The subordinate was stunned, thinking that the Great Protector was in a bad mood because the chess piece he had cultivated had been removed.

The Great Protector was too lazy to say more, and hung up the phone neatly after scolding his subordinate.

Huitong Road, Kangyang District.

A young man wearing a sports headband and work clothes, waving a broom, diligently and meticulously sweeps the dust and garbage on the street. The Devil Eye Heavenly King has always been very enthusiastic about cleaning up garbage, whether it is real garbage or human garbage.

As long as it can restore cleanliness to the world, he will do it without reservation.

Of course,

the act of cleaning the city streets is itself a good deed, which can increase moral value. Although it is not much and takes time, the Devil Eye Heavenly King came to Songhai to do a needle-in-a-haystack thing. Searching for someone in Songhai, and searching for someone while sweeping the floor, are not conflicting.

Occasionally, he can help old men and women cross the road. If he sees someone disrespecting the elderly, he can reward him (her) with a few big slaps in the face, or mark the other party, and after accumulating enough moral value, knock on the door and take his head. At this time, the phone in his pocket rang.

The Devil Eye stood up straight, leaned on the broom, took out his phone and answered it.

"Heavenly King, we have collected information about Yuanshi Tianzun and the Zhisha Palace. According to a Lawful independent cultivator, members of the Zhisha Palace have appeared in the Kangyang District underground black market in recent days, and bought a lot of materials in one go. It seems they are planning to leave Songhai."

"Oh? They're retreating?" The Devil Eye Heavenly King smiled and asked, "What about Yuanshi Tianzun?"

"The information about Yuanshi Tianzun is more complicated, it's hard to explain verbally, I've already sent it to your email." The Devil Eye Heavenly King did not respond to his subordinate, directly hung up the phone, opened his email, and downloaded the file attached to the email.

Dark Night Rose, Yuanshi Tianzun... The Devil Eye Heavenly King glanced at the title, skipped it, and read the content.

The content of the file is the post on the Five Elements Alliance official forum, telling about the crimes of Chi Yuean, the deacon of Shakou District.

The Devil Eye Heavenly King initially had no expression, but after seeing the words "imprisonment", "gang rape", "sexual bribery of dignitaries", and "selling eggs", his face became more and more ugly, and the killing intent in his eyes almost overflowed. Under the headband on his forehead, the devil eye frantically twisted, as if it wanted to break the seal, show its anger to the world, and cleanse sin.

The Devil Eye Heavenly King pressed his forehead with one hand and continued to read. Soon he saw the brief account of how Yuanshi Tianzun sneaked into the thieves' den alone to collect evidence, went on a killing spree in the thieves' den, and captured the deacon Chi Yuean alive. As he read, the vertical eye on his forehead gradually calmed down, and the killing intent in his eyes gradually subsided.

The Devil Eye Heavenly King "tsked" and said, "He's doing a good job, he's indeed a saint."

This is consistent with the information he collected about Yuanshi Tianzun. This person has no bad records, and his background is clean. He has been worried recently that he has no reason to kill Yuanshi Tianzun. "Maybe I should take him back to the Military Orthodox Church, the great event of cleaning the world should have a fellow practitioner."

The Devil Eye Heavenly King pondered for a moment and dialed his subordinate's phone.

"Three things you need to do. First, find out the identity and background of Yuanshi Tianzun. Second, collect information about the Dark Night Rose. If you find any members of the Dark Night Rose, kill them without question. Third, I want the information of the dignitaries involved in the Chi Yuean case."

"Yes!"

Fu Jia Wan Villa.

Zhang Yuanqing sat in the study, sipping fine black tea and eating summer desserts offered by the bunny girl. Beside him was Guan Ya, and across from him were Ling Gou and Li Dongze.

Ling Gou clicked his tongue and said, "Fu Qingyang is indeed suitable for mixing in officialdom. He's despicable, very despicable. His approach reminds me of a joke." "What joke?" Zhang Yuanqing left a spoonful of ice cream and asked cooperatively.

"Oh, a joke about the flood, I forgot the details." Ling Gou smacked his lips a few times and said, "What should we do with that Enchanting Spirit? Did Fu Qingyang give a plan?" "No, he wants to wait for me to take the initiative to talk to him." Zhang Yuanqing said.

At this time, he received a Lingjing prompt: [Moral Value +2000]

As expected, I got moral value, and it's two thousand points! Zhang Yuanqing was pleasantly surprised.

He predicted correctly that doing good deeds is not just about donating money, doing public welfare, or helping old ladies cross the road. Punishing evil and promoting good is also a good deed.

Now it seems that similar major cases must be concluded and the matter must be ended before the moral value is settled in one go. Moral value will not be settled while the case is in progress.

Um, is it that killing villains rewards moral value, or does the case have to be defined and announced before moral value is rewarded? If it's the former, then the captain's estimate of the Devil Eye Heavenly King's moral value is wrong.

"Eh, I actually got three hundred points of moral value, not bad, the loss of the seriously injured security guard has been compensated, and there's still a profit to be made." Ling Gou also received a Lingjing prompt and was very happy. Li Dongze was envious: "I only got 30 points of moral value, after all, I didn't do anything."

Guan Ya smiled and said, "Captain, I got 60 points."

The old driver drank a mouthful of juice, turned her head and looked at Zhang Yuanqing beside her:

"Yuanshi, you should have gotten a lot of rewards, right? How much moral value did Lingjing give you?" Ling Gou and Li Dongze on the opposite side looked over with curiosity.
