Volume 7, Chapter 17 – Are You Supreme?

“So what is it, exactly?”

Regarding what the System said, Tianyin could say she was kind of confused.

Of course, even though she was confused, Tianyin still understood what the System meant.

“It was really just giving things a little push, that’s all. I came to see you this time just to tell you some things about this tournament.”

Looking at Tianyin with her eyes wide open and that dazed, cluelessly adorable expression, even the Light Orb’s tone became “meaningful”.

“A tournament? You mean you’ve already meddled with the tournament I’m planning to hold this time?”

“That’s right~”

The Light Orb didn’t plan to hide anything. It answered Tianyin’s question with extremely certainty.

“But Xiaoyin, you don’t need to worry too much. No matter what, you’re still my daughter. With a daughter as cute as you, I’ll definitely only treat you well and never play tricks on you~”

Daughter?

‘Hah? Who the hell is your daughter, you bastard!’

In what the System just said, it bit down very hard on the pronunciation of the words “daughter”, making it sound like Tianyin really was the System’s daughter.

And that kind of way of speaking naturally made Tianyin unhappy.

So, right after the Light Orb finished speaking, Tianyin started grinding her teeth, creak creak.

“Hm? Xiaoyin, you look really angry. What’s wrong, is there something wrong with what I said?”

“Of course there is! I’m not the daughter of some lolicon like you!”

“Well, I understand. Just a rebellious phase. You’ll understand my good intentions later.”

The Light Orb seemed like it was doing it on purpose. Not only did it turn a blind eye to Tianyin’s warning, it even used a careless tone to say things that made Tianyin furious.

No, she couldn’t keep getting tangled up in this issue.

Tianyin suddenly became alert. She seemed to always suffer losses on these weird things. Even though she didn’t know why it was like this, Tianyin still understood one truth.

That was…

She couldn’t keep fighting with the Light Orb over the “daughter” issue anymore.

“Can’t be bothered arguing with you… Back on topic, you said you put an official coat on my tournament, so tell me, what’s this coat about?”

What the Light Orb said was way too broad, way too conceptual.

She didn’t know what kind of official coat the System meant, so Tianyin planned to ask it clearly.

“Mm. That’s actually what I came to notify you about. Because once Xiaoyin’s tournament becomes official, the funding for the tournament will be prepared by the officials. So Xiaoyin, you don’t need to worry about the prizes anymore.”

After Tianyin asked something serious, the System’s tone also became serious.

“Hah?”

But the Light Orb’s words left Tianyin dumbfounded.

“Y-Yyou mean I don’t need to pay for the prizes?”

The Light Orb’s words were far too sudden. They also made Tianyin feel extremely surprised.

“That’s right. Because this tournament has become official. So I’ve already taken over all the rewards~”

“You…”

Hearing the Light Orb say that so casually, Tianyin only felt her hands and feet turn ice cold, cold sweat pouring out, her whole body trembling.

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

Yeah.

Why didn’t it tell her earlier?

If it had told her earlier, then she wouldn’t have needed to desperately think of ways to find prizes…

All that effort and thought, and it turned out to be useless?

“Well, I thought with Xiaoyin’s intelligence, you could’ve figured it out. So I felt there was no need. But… it wasn’t until today, when I noticed you using the Exclamation Mark item to farm tasks, that I realized your intention, Xiaoyin~”

Facing Tianyin’s questioning, the Light Orb explained the reason in a calm tone.

However, at the end of its explanation, the Light Orb also pointed out Tianyin’s cheating behavior of using the Exclamation Mark divine artifact to farm tasks.

“I didn’t come this time only to notify you about that. There’s also something related to the Exclamation Mark item.”

Once it brought up the Exclamation Mark, the Light Orb’s tone suddenly shifted. There was also a faint hint of reproach in its voice.

“Xiaoyin. I didn’t give you the Exclamation Mark for you to use it like this. What I originally meant was for you to use the Exclamation Mark to publish some quests. But you actually used the Exclamation Mark to farm divine artifact items. That kind of thing is way too unfair.”

“Unfair?”

Hearing that, Tianyin couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.

“How am I being unfair? I’m just reasonably using an item to reasonably earn items. Besides, the Exclamation Mark was given by you, and I’m also publishing quests according to the conditions set inside it.”

“What I did is within reasonable limits, so how is it unfair?”

At this point, how could Tianyin not understand why the Light Orb suddenly descended to find her.

Notifying her about putting an official coat on the tournament was fake, scolding her for using the Exclamation Mark item to crazily farm tasks was the real thing!

The earlier words were all just excuses that this intangible Light Orb used for its true purpose.

After all, only by casually bringing up the Exclamation Mark topic could it maintain its “good” lolicon image deep in Tianyin’s heart.

But the Light Orb didn’t know that, right now, in Tianyin’s heart, it wasn’t just a “perverted lolicon”, it was also a hypocritical “scheming bastard”.

“Mm, what Xiaoyin said makes sense. You really didn’t cheat. But this kind of behavior of using the Exclamation Mark to mess with quests affects balance way too much. So, in order to maintain the balance of the game world, I plan to take back the Exclamation Mark.”

Then, before Tianyin could even speak to argue or refuse, the Exclamation Mark divine artifact in Tianyin’s System Inventory vanished without a trace.

“You…”

With the Exclamation Mark item taken back by the Light Orb, Tianyin naturally felt furious.

But facing Tianyin’s angry expression, the Light Orb acted as if it didn’t see it at all, and it had no intention of compensating Tianyin.

“Alright, this matter is basically done, and I should leave now.”

And just as Tianyin expected, after taking back the item Tianyin used to crazily farm quests, the Exclamation Mark, the Light Orb immediately turned its face and planned to leave.

Having long seen through the System’s true purpose, aside from anger in her heart, Tianyin also had no way to do anything to the System for now.

“Alright, Xiaoyin, do you have anything else? If not, I’m leaving.”

Questions?

What questions could she even have?

Hearing that, Tianyin let out a contemptuous cold laugh in her heart.

But at this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly passed through Tianyin’s mind.

“Wait…”

“Hm? What else?”

The Light Orb had originally been about to leave, but Tianyin suddenly called out, making the System stop for the moment.

Seeing the Light Orb stop, Tianyin’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“You… are you the Supreme?”
