Chapter 25 Unread Messages Whether you're doing group work or not, it's still group work...
Chu Jue once didn't quite understand: "Why speak up for defective products?"
The waste level of defective products is obvious from all aspects.
The three women had two faces; they would only take off their fake smiles when facing their own people.
Her face remained expressionless as she stepped over the fingers of the discarded experimental subjects.
"To win votes, at least on the surface, we have to maintain this performance."
"It won't cause any loss; it's just a few perfunctory words."
The fact that defective products remain defective cannot be changed, but those defective products born into noble families will push her to the position of "most popular crown prince" because of her "empathetic affirmation".
“Actually, it sounds a bit too fake.” Chu Jue’s gaze swept over his tired-looking friend.
"..." The Third Princess rolled her eyes in response.
"It's enough if a specific group of people believe that I'm being sincere."
Chu Jue thought to himself at the time: The sacrifice is huge, the effect is unknown, and there are many tricks involved.
Now, seeing the male group leader of ID Co-prosperity's speech, she had the same thought again.
They are very cunning.
But the dozens of replies that appeared below are confirming what the Third Princess said: as long as the audience of the lies believes that she is sincere, that's enough.
[430L][Group Leader's Strongest Recommendation]: Hahahaha, the group leader really doesn't hide his keen appreciation at all. Sisters, come join us! The atmosphere in our group is so much better than outside (implying something about the other groups).
[437L][Anonymous User]: I'm really tempted...
[439L][Anonymous User]: Can non-spiritual individuals join? I've heard before that the Co-Prosperity Group recruits girls, but I always thought there were eligibility requirements (fingers).
[441L][Anonymous User]: Yes, there are different roles within the group. Non-spiritual individuals can join the female mutual aid team after passing the assessment.
[443L][Anonymous User]: Ahhh, that sounds really friendly! I'll try submitting my application!
[445L][Anonymous User]: It's really friendly; they've been recruiting a lot lately. The assessment is quite simple; I've already passed. Sisters who want to join, I'm waiting for you in the mutual help team!
[446L][Anonymous User]: Ah, I have heard about the Women's Mutual Aid Team's promotions recently. So it's from the Co-Prosperity Group? They even placed ads in our area a while ago, but I didn't remember their contact information.
[447L][Hehe, I'm bad at management]: I recently joined, and the atmosphere in the group is really great~
[450L][Anonymous User]: Just search for keywords on the 446 Sister Star Network; the one with the strongest association is it. There seemed to be a bug a few days ago that prevented it from displaying properly and also associated it with the wrong group, but it was fixed quickly.
[453L][Anonymous User]: Great! I'm fed up with being surrounded by daddy-like men every day. I've finally found my home.
[459L][Anonymous User]: ? There's no need to praise one while criticizing the other, speechless.
[470L][Anonymous User]: Dude, don't be speechless. They just love to look at faces, haha.
[471L][Anonymous User]: Many people dare not say it, but isn't the reason that so-and-so rose to fame in such a short time simply because he has a certain level of male attractiveness...? That's enough to make a group of women swoon, and with a few sweet words, well, you know...
[478L][Anonymous User]: Sure enough, the person upstairs is the kind of person I often see who is in danger. A normal man like the leader of the Co-Prosperity Sphere is quite rare.
[479L][Group Leader's Strongest Recommendation]: Brother 470, if you dare to speak your mind, why are you still anonymous? If you don't like talking to our group leader, why don't you talk to me?
[480L][Anonymous User]: I'm outta here, I don't reason with women.
[481L][Anonymous User]: Haha, take care, bro! [/laughing emoji]
The strategy of the two thousand men was quite successful; after saying a few words, female members took the lead in the battle for him.
Ying Yi's attention was focused on floor 441: "The Prosperity Group has also started recruiting non-spirit individuals?"
And they even call themselves a women's mutual aid team?
"I fainted." Actually, she didn't faint. "It's a women's mutual aid team, but the team leader is male."
"That's strange. Although the Co-Prosperity Group used to market itself in this direction, it was actually only recruiting female spiritualists. Now they're starting to recruit non-spiritualists too..."
"Could it be that after the number of women in the Co-Prosperity Sphere increased, they also started doing human affairs?"
It's still a bit hard to believe.
"It seems he has a lot of ideas." Chu Jue's interest in the two thousand grew even stronger.
The three princesses' goal is the throne, but what about the two thousand?
Unlike the Third Princess, who only talked the talk but didn't walk the walk, the Second Princess seemed to be doing something truly good.
But Chu Jue's intuition told her that it wouldn't be as simple as just "doing good deeds".
He has nearly two thousand merit points.
Faced with such a huge temptation, Chu Jue couldn't stop thinking about it.
"Sigh, all that's happening below is arguing; nobody cares about the original poster's absurd analysis..."
Instead, after the Prosperity Sphere Group made those remarks, they started praising the Group.
"The public opinion monitoring team of the Co-prosperity Group should have intervened in this post and has begun to guide the public opinion."
"They are still somewhat useful—Chu Jue's reputation has improved a little."
[677L][Anonymous User]: The leader of the Co-Prosperity Group has verified 123's abilities and invited her to join the organization, which means she is a very strong spiritualist, not what was rumored before. Even if some people are prejudiced against 123, they should trust the Co-Prosperity Group's judgment. Or does someone think they are more powerful than the Co-Prosperity Group?
[683L][Anonymous User]: Yes, and saying that 123 killed and robbed is just a one-sided statement from the Lunar Eclipse Group. Do you think we don't know what their style of doing is like? I still remember that time when they were reported and they were still arrogant and said, "You will be robbed only because you are not skilled enough." How come it doesn't apply to them when it happens to them?
[684L][Anonymous User]: I'm afraid he went to rob someone first but got killed by Sister 123. He was so angry that he lost a spirit puppet, so he came to the forum to complain.
It seems that there are still people who can deduce the truth of the matter, which makes Chu Jue feel gratified.
[684L][Anonymous User]: So 123 should really consider joining the organization! The Co-Prosperity Group is a really good choice.
Chu Jue: ...
It turned out to be a shill. This omnipresent shill manipulated her emotions.
As the last wisp of spiritual energy dissipated from the pool, Yun Qiandu retrieved Chu Jue from the water.
"I'm not going to look anymore. We finally got a team-building trip, let's ignore the nonsense on the forum for now."
"The Spiritual Energy Exchange Conference is just around the corner. Should we make any preparations?"
For example, how about learning about your competitors?
"Because of the spiritual veins that bless the organizations in the central area, the members generally have higher spiritual ranks. But for Chu Jue, it shouldn't make much difference..."
Chu Jue's spirit rank is a bit too exaggerated. Although she has never mentioned what rank she is, everyone has full confidence in her.
"Those organization members are similar to Lunar Eclipse Halberd and his group, you don't need to pay them any mind."
They looked through this year's list of names and found that each organization could register four to six people.
Clicking on the random group names reveals exaggerated proportions like one woman and four men, five men, or all men.
"The composition of the Co-Prosperity Entity is quite rare... When it comes to being the worst, the Co-Prosperity Entity has a slight advantage."
The list of the Co-prosperity Group is unusually composed of three women and three men. Just being equal in terms of gender ratio already puts them ahead of the pack.
As for the display of gender, the entire list remains consistent—female members' names are marked with parentheses after them, indicating "female".
Jiang Tianjiao: "Why isn't there a 'male' label after it?"
Even from a layout perspective, it's more neat to have both men and women labeled.
"The reason is that there are few female spiritual practitioners," Yun Qiandu said, shrugging. "When there are more men, they like to elevate themselves to the level of the default option that doesn't need to be labeled."
"I will learn from Chu Jue and call them defective products."
After registering their names on the invitation, the group received an automatic verification from StarNet. A smart mechanical voice appeared in the pop-up screen to verify their identity.
Noticing that Jiang Jingshu and Jiang Tianjiao hadn't made any moves, Yun Qiandu asked in confusion, "Hmm? Why haven't you received any verification?"
Jiang Tianjiao shook her head: "Captain Yun, I don't plan to go."
As the only non-spiritual member in the group, Jiang Tianjiao subconsciously worried that she would hold the team back.
Although she knew they wouldn't care, she still didn't want to do it.
She was still... a little insecure.
“Teacher Fang and Da Huang aren’t going, so I want to stay and be with them,” Jiang Tianjiao said. “My sister is also planning to come with me.”
She hoped that Jiang Jingshu would go as well, as the central area was a shared wish of theirs.
But Jiang Jingshu told her that going to the central area was their agreement, and there would be another time after this one, and there would be plenty of opportunities in the future, so they had to go together anyway.
Jiang Jingshu nodded: "I want to try teaching Tianjiao how to cultivate spiritual energy."
While I'm at it, I'll do something else.
Ying Yi looked at Jiang Jingshu.
She knew that Jiang Jingshu had always been a girl with her own opinions, so they didn't need to worry about her in this regard.
"good."
After the list was confirmed, the organization of these individuals was updated in the public notice section.
The invitations are not rigid; although they are issued to groups, there is no need to fill in a fixed group name.
Amidst discussions among the group about whether to change their previous cool and domineering group name to something else, and whether it was too obvious and not appropriate yet, Yun Qiandu filled in the group name column with the words "Zhan Can".
"What do you think? A brilliant use of homophones!"
Everyone: ...
After unanimous opposition from everyone, Yun Qiandu sheepishly changed his name back to "111".
It's such a plain and uncreative name.
"It's not exactly ordinary." Looking at the carefully selected group names from various organizations, their perfunctory approach stood out conspicuously. There was really no need to copy the previous organizations to achieve this.
Chu Jue escaped the fate of being dipped in ginseng and had been lying on the recliner, relaxing in a crooked position since earlier.
As she listened to the laughter and chatter of the members of Group 111, she found herself relaxing for a rare moment.
She didn't think about the existence of merit points, nor did she think about the labels that were put on her by the forum.
Her mental strength gradually returned from nothing, and she was comfortably playing local mini-games with the designer.
Unfortunately, although the designer's functions related to the Empire were sealed, it was still a high-tech battle suit loaded with intelligent modules. After losing several times in a row, Chu Jue claimed that the designer was cheating.
Designer: [--]
Chu Jue knew that this expression symbolized speechlessness in a very ancient era.
She quit the game and asked the designer to load a few lame jokes. After hearing the joke, "My victory, you all saw it; my defeat, the emperor turned and left," she tastelessly projected her image onto the Third Princess.
Chu Jue was overjoyed.
Designer: 【^^】
Yun Qiandu noticed her expression: "Oh, are you having so much fun coming out with us? Then we'll invite you to come with us from now on."
Surprisingly, Chu Jue, who seemed to prefer being alone, actually really enjoys group activities.
Although Ying Suixin joined a group, she still didn't change her previous way of addressing herself:
"Why aren't you coming over to play in the water, Boss? Jing Shu brought shampoo to help me wash my hair."
Chu Jue: ...
If you're not too free, you probably don't need to wash your hair.
Designer: [A one-time unread message from the forum has been detected.]
Where did the unread messages on the forum come from?
Chu Jue opened the backend and found a message; the ID seemed somewhat familiar.
【Hehe, I don't know how to manage】: Sisters! Sorry to bother you! I'm a member of the Co-prosperity Group~ I saw that your organization registered the name 111 at the exchange meeting? Only four members registered, right?
【User123****1111】: Yes.
[Hehe, I don't know how to manage]: Okay, are you interested in teaming up with our Gongrong Group?
[User 123****1111]: ?
[Hehe, I don't know how to manage]: Here's the thing, the meeting just added registration information for the competition. The original 1v1 format remains unchanged, but the 2v2 and 4v4 formats have been changed to a two-team format.
[Hehe, I'm not good at managing]: If you want to participate, you need to register in two groups. For example, in a 2v2 match, one person from our group and one person from your group will team up to play against another team.
[Hehe, I'm terrible at managing]: Our group was originally supposed to team up with Zhanji, but now... it's fate, right? You girls are clearly a better fit than Zhanji! So, on behalf of the organization, I'm extending a sincere invitation!
【Hehe, I don't know how to manage】: Not only do I like you, but the other members in our group also like you. They are also on this list. Sister, can you consider it?
Chu Jue checked the newly released announcement in the central area and confirmed that, as the administrator had said, the official statement indicated that groups should also be bound together.
"What do you all think?" Chu Jue asked for everyone's opinions.
The group exchanged glances and began to browse through various lists of male-male-male couples. They regretfully discovered that, in terms of familiarity and the convenience of being in the same district, the Co-Prosperity Group seemed to be the best choice.
"If you have to form a team, these organizations are all pretty much the same..."
It's still a group assignment no matter who you do it with.
"The leader of the Co-Prosperity Sphere Group is quite self-aware; instead of directly bothering us, he sent a diplomatic envoy... Well, if we have to be with another group, then let's choose the one with more women."
【User123****1111】: Okay, let's form an alliance then.
She can take this opportunity to observe the two thousand more.
[Hehe, I'm bad at managing]: Great, great, it's settled then! I'm already looking forward to it.
【Hehe, I'm terrible at managing this】: Hehe, shall we set off together then? See you in three days~
