Chapter 51 Un Entertainment's first reaction upon noticing "Jiang Yang"...

Following the Holy Infant inside, Jiang Yang finally understood the vitality that Da Jiang had mentioned.

Separated by a wall, the other side was a complex network of interconnected openings, making it impossible to discern the nature of Un Entertainment, yet inexplicably giving Jiang Yang a sense of familiarity.

Ji Yang reminded him, "This was dug by a rabbit."

Jiang Yang then understood.

No wonder the Holy Infant is so familiar with this place.

After leading everyone through several extremely narrow paths, the Holy Infant called out first.

"Holy crap, we have a signal!" After they received the notification from the panel that the dialogue class was shut down, the system was frozen for a long time, and there was no response even when the two sides met face to face.

A new message popped up, indicating that they were not far from returning to Un Entertainment.

The panel simply stated that...

Everyone, please proceed to the lobby on the first floor immediately.

Jiang Yang glanced at it; if Xingye hadn't brought it up, he wouldn't have even known that there was a situation where there was no signal.

The question is... "Everyone?"

No one could answer him.

All they could do was get back to the first floor as quickly as possible.

After walking for about five or six minutes, the Holy Infant stopped in front of a wall, stood there arrogantly, and raised its chin at the others.

Ji Yang tapped the wall lightly twice, and a crisp sound rang out, "Empty."

Hoshino rubbed his hands together. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's smash it!"

With a casual flick of his arm, the sledgehammer appeared in his palm.

Jiang Yang hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the Holy Infant, and backed away. The Holy Infant then wrapped its arms around Jiang Yang's neck and clung to Jiang Yang's body.

The hammer slammed down, sending dust billowing up and hitting us in the face.

Jiang Yang didn't avoid it; the tiny particles entered her respiratory tract, irritating her throat and lungs, but she had to endure it because she was holding the child.

His arms trembled with effort as he adjusted his posture slightly. The next second, he felt a lightness in his arms as Ji Yang reached out and pulled the person into his arms.

The infant stared wide-eyed, but Ji Yang, his expression unchanged, asked, "What's your name?"

"I don't have a name yet..." Forgot she was about to explode, and her eyebrows drooped.

Putting aside the bruises on his body and the special abilities bestowed upon him by the trial, Jiang Yang felt that he was still just a child.

"Do you know what your mother's name is?" The question made even Hoshino stop smashing the wall.

Da Jiang complained, "He's so bad at chatting."

But to everyone's surprise, the Holy Infant clapped his hands excitedly, "I know!"

The infant saint recalled, "Call...call...Ali..."

Ahri...

Ali!

Ji Yang suddenly understood something and took out a round copper piece.

The copper sheet was chipped at one corner. He pinched the edge of the sheet, then flicked it hard with his thumb pointing upwards.

The copper sheet was then thrown high into the air and spun twice in mid-air due to inertia.

When it fell into the hands of the Holy Infant, the missing corner had been repaired.

Jiang Yang recognized that this was a product of Ji Yang Tianping.

Like Borderlands, it's about soul weights.

Ji Yang obtained the weight at 213. He initially thought the missing piece was due to his lack of understanding of the rabbit's identity.

Until the Holy Infant spoke of Ali.

The rabbit is dead, but Ali is still alive.

How can someone with an incomplete soul obtain a complete soul weight?

Now that the chips have been added, what will become of Ali?

Ji Yang composed himself and lifted the Holy Infant in his arms.

Hoshino took the hammer and smashed it down hard on the tiny hole. The wall trembled violently, as if in silent protest.

As the bricks and stones crumbled and cracks spread, sunlight streamed in. Ji Yang asked, "Your name is Jinwu, is that alright?"

The golden crow carries the sun.

It is light, and it is hope.

"Give me this and I'll do whatever you say," the Holy Infant said, clutching the weight tightly in his hand.

"Even if you don't ask, I will still give it to you."

"No, Mom said we have to be reasonable," so the weight is his, and he will be called Jinwu from now on.

Jiang Yang never expected that the decision to name her would ultimately be made by Ji Yang.

Hoshino kicked the crack hard, causing the wall to collapse. He called out, "Get out quickly!"

After saying that, he walked out first, followed by Ji Yang carrying Jinwu, with Jiang Yang following beside him.

They came out of the offices on the 12th floor of Un Entertainment. The hustle and bustle of the lobby had faded, revealing mottled traces, as if it had been forgotten here for a long time.

Yuejiang was a bit far from the others, and following behind, she saw Oe's back gradually becoming transparent as he approached the exit.

She rushed to the person's side, her voice frantic, "Are you leaving?"

Jiang Yang turned around and saw this scene. He moved to the exit to block Ji Yang and Xing Ye's view.

Unexpectedly, Ji Yang said, "Hoshino, do me a favor."

Although Hoshino was unwilling, Ji Yang did not give him a chance to refuse and walked towards the elevator.

Jiang Yang also noticed Da Jiang's condition, and using the excuse of waiting for Yue Jiang, he took two steps toward the exit.

Da Jiang said, "Remember to thank Huang Er for me."

Jiang Yang asked, puzzled, "Huh? What's wrong?"

Dajiang shook his head without explaining, and turned to give Yuejiang the exit position.

Yuejiang reached out, her hand passing through his transparent body, and her eyes immediately reddened. "Teacher."

Jiang Yang silently walked towards the elevator, leaving the two of them alone.

"Teacher...please say something to me."

"I don't know what to do..."

He muttered to himself, his voice filled with confusion and bewilderment, his humble plea completely devoid of his former composure.

Dajiang sighed, "Yuejiang, just be yourself."

"I don't want to..."

"Your observation room should have been sealed off by now. Are you trying to harm me?"

"I...won't hurt you..."

The moment Yue Jiang sensed "Jiang Yang," she used a high amount of points to shut down the observation room. Now, hearing his words, even though she clearly understood what he meant, they still felt like a knife cutting into her ears.

"Yuejiang, be yourself."

Dajiang repeated it without any change in expression; in fact, this was the third time he had said it to Yuejiang.

The broadcast notification from the observation room entered its ten-second countdown. Yuejiang gave a soft chuckle and walked past the exit without looking back.

Standing in front of the elevator, Hoshino's face clearly showed her displeasure.

Jinwu's face also showed his displeasure.

It turns out that the help Ji Yang was referring to was handing the Golden Crow into Xingye's arms.

As Jiang Yang approached, Jinwu huffed and puffed as it climbed off Xingye's body and then vanished from the spot.

Ji Yang explained, "It's too conspicuous for you to bring him along; it's better to let him go back first."

Upon opening the panel, sure enough, the Golden Crow had already retreated back inside, its pitiful eyes meeting Jiang Yang's. Jiang Yang couldn't help but say, "He's still just a child..."

“If he doesn’t have rules to follow, you have to establish those rules from the beginning.”

“I agree,” Hoshino said.

That wasn't wrong, and Jiang Yang didn't argue further. Xingye tilted his head to look behind him and asked, "Where's my brother?"

“It seems like he dropped something,” Jiang Yang replied without changing his expression.

At that moment, the observation room of Yuejiang, which had been dark for a long time, became lively the instant it lit up.

The observers' attention was entirely focused on Yuejiang's reddened eyes.

The red color clashed with the mysterious and forbidden hue on his face, and a destructive charm suddenly arose.

The barrage of comments surged, filled with unanimous votes and support. The rankings on the looks chart were also scrolling rapidly. At this moment, the devil's brilliance could no longer be concealed and was fully revealed to everyone.

Jiang Yang heard approaching footsteps and turned around.

The great river in the distance had not crossed the exit. He stood straight amidst the broken walls and ruins, his transparent hand raised and waving to Jiang Yang.

The wooden figure in his hand swayed back and forth in mid-air following his movements. Jiang Yang vaguely heard the wooden figure say, "Hey, 9022, I'm hungry."

After taking the elevator to the first floor, Jiang Yang finally understood what "everyone" meant in the notification on the control panel.

Besides the remaining artists with badges in the diction class, there were also those who were taken away in the morning and at noon because of the death of their executive agents.

And... security guards.

All human beings in Un Entertainment have gathered here.

The hall, which could accommodate fewer than a hundred people, was much more spacious than it had been in the morning.

Jiang Yang and Xingye parted ways without saying a word as soon as they stepped out of the elevator.

Nan Ke stood out in the crowd, and Jiang Yang found his spot and squeezed past him.

Upon approaching, seeing the man's gloomy expression, he turned to Huang Er and tentatively asked, "What's wrong?"

"Sigh, it's a long story," Huang Er's voice carried a hint of helplessness and exhaustion. Seeing that Nan Ke had no desire to speak, he said embarrassedly, "He was sexually harassed."

"Huh?" Jiang Yang was incredulous, and even Ji Yang rarely showed such astonishment.

Nan Ke angrily snorted and, in conversation with Huang Er, pieced together what had happened after they were taken away.

They were taken to the 23rd floor, which is currently the highest floor that players with limited access can reach.

Ali took them there, but the rule-maker for the 23rd floor was the agent from Group C.

Cain.

"Chinese name?" Jiang Yang asked.

"Yes."

Jiang Yang pondered that all the other classes were below the 12th floor, and even Nan Ke, as the chief secretary, could only go as far as the rest area on the 19th floor. This meant that Cain's authority in Un Entertainment was definitely not low.

After they passed through, Cain assigned them tasks.

Rabbits for sale, seeds for sale, and blind people for sale.

The rabbit is a person who has never had the experience of reproduction, the seed is the child born to a pregnant rabbit, and the blind person is a short film taken by a camera.

Everyone's task is the same: once the buyer and seller reach an agreement, the seller can set the price freely.

The top 20 people by total sales will be granted service eligibility, while the bottom 50% will be eliminated.

Cain did not elaborate on the service qualifications, only saying that they were related to the banquet on the seventh day.

Ji Yang frowned. "Wasn't the middle part mentioned?"

Nan Ke shook his head. Jiang Yang asked, "What if it wasn't mentioned?"

"He might remain in this trial."

They will not die, but their will will forever follow Un Entertainment.

On the 23rd floor, there is a huge screen that displays the amount of money held by players in real time.

Nan Ke didn't rush to make a choice. He walked around the 23rd floor and that's when he discovered that there were countless surveillance cameras hanging around the ceiling.

Fraud and transactions coexist, and new rules are being unlocked.

While they were preparing the goods, they themselves became the goods to be valued by others.

Nan Ke was chosen.

Fortunately, just as he was about to give up and take action...

The executive agent for the diction class died.

Then the boss who had chosen him also hurriedly left the room.

Nan Ke secretly followed them out to see what was happening. Un Entertainment was in turmoil at the top. More than a dozen bosses gathered in the corridor and got into the elevator. Cain told them to wait for further notice. Nan Ke saw that the elevator finally stopped on the 33rd floor.

Un Entertainment's highest level.

On the high platform in the hall, of the original three men and two women, only Cain stepped out, and the noisy hall instantly fell silent.

The disappearance of the executive broker means death, and Ali's fate is obvious.

Cain announced, "According to the latest updated charm ranking, the top 50% of players can participate in the assessment."

This doesn't sound like something an NPC would say.

"The remaining 50% of players have returned to the 23rd floor election service qualification."

Jiang Yang wasn't worried about that.

The key point is that Ji Yang does not have a player identity.

-----------------------

Author's note: Ta-da! Let's start with the timeline.

The Jiang Yang that Nan Ke knew was the earliest Jiang Yang, the Jiang Yang that Yue Jiang knew was the middle Jiang Yang, and the Jiang Yang that Ji Yang knew was the Jiang Yang of the last storyline. Jiang Yang was different at each stage. Only after everything has settled down will Jiang Yang truly become Jiang Yang.

The second dungeon is almost over, so the main thing now is to fill in the gaps and complete the story!

That concludes today's rankings update, so there will be no update on Wednesday. Thursday's update will depend on the situation. Thank you for following along, love you all!
