[Spread the idea of incompleteness so that 7,893 people believe that incompleteness is...; Reward: Eye of the Broken]

[Language is madness, it is volatile, it can stimulate people's emotions, change the course of events, and achieve its goals; for the next 24 hours, try to infuriate your conversation partner with one sentence; Reward: Shared Anger of Man and God (when you're angry, you can affect the emotions of everyone around you to be angry with you)]

[Path to Fame, let ten thousand people recognize your Artifact Refining Level; Reward: Earth's Core Fire]

[Establish the reputation of the Sect, initiate or participate in an activity in the name of the Righteous Door and come out on top among Sects of the same Level; Reward: Seeing Through (you can see the irrational parts of Martial Arts and Spells within the Sect)]

[Build two Bit Famous people into a couple; Reward: 5 strings of Cupid's red thread]

Besides some missions being temporarily sidelined by Lin Bai, such as those related to the Kitchen God, these were all the worthwhile tasks at present, with strange and intriguing rewards.

A wave of ads was launched by the Beggar Gang.

The mission to raise the name of the Righteous Door was easily accomplished.

The Golden Light Array was automatically distributed within the Sect, but only Lin Bai, the Sect Leader, could activate it. However, the Golden Light Array required a lot of Spirit Stones. Otherwise, it was just a hollow framework. Return to Dragon View's stash of Spirit Stones was not that large, so Lin Bai didn't deliberately test the array.

Almost all the Beggar Gang Players were destructively handling the objects around them.

The Everything has Shortcomings System's Great Demon Solution Book had finally gathered all its parts—head, hands, feet, limbs, body, eyes, and ears.

Except for the internal organs, which couldn't be separately dismantled, Lin Bai could already dismantle himself into pieces in an instant without any harm.

However, the new task provided by the Everything has Shortcomings System seemed a bit absurd.

The original task was simply to make people feel incomplete; the subsequent ones had no effect.

The new task left Lin Bai a bit puzzled. What should people think incompleteness was?

Beauty? Evil? Ugliness? Rottenness?

It seemed everything was possible!

This is outrageous!

To complete this task, the only way was to expand the concept of incompleteness, triggering more people's understanding of it without influencing their thoughts.

As for the task reward, the "Eye of the Broken," Lin Bai didn't know what it was. Judging by the name, it should be a type of vision skill…

Under the tutelage of the Huilong Observant Daoists, Dumbelldore, the repressed chief Disciple, finally mastered the "Descending Dragon Techniques" and successfully helped Lin Bai improve his teaching Level.

Now, he could finally teach more Disciples.

The good things rewarded by the System were too numerous; they completely overshadowed the bit of cultivation gain from the Disciples' practice.

This time, however, the reward for the "Good Teacher System" task was not bad: the Disciples' cultivation speed increased by fifty percent.

Having uncontrollable Players increase their cultivation speed by fifty percent would be of no benefit to Lin Bai.

After all, Lin Bai approached System tasks seeking simplicity and efficiency. The virtue value required by the Good Teacher System was all obtained through deception.

Why bother boosting the cultivation speed of Players who might stab him in the back? However, giving this benefit to his close friends, like Little White Fox, Jiang Qingqin, and Xu Longyun, would indeed be good...

Can a pet not be a Disciple? Can't a girlfriend be a Disciple? They all can…

Being his own Disciple, with the increased speed in cultivation, why not happily do it?

If he had more Disciple slots in the future, Lin Bai could, by his own power, help more natives he trusted advance.

Furthermore, the Good Teacher System was now properly on track. This time the reward was Diligence; maybe there are more benefits waiting for him to discover in the future!

Anyway, he was comfortable being a teacher.

Just registering them as a Disciple was enough; he didn't need to put in any real effort, and the mission was just a convenient matter.

The only time-consuming thing was the Farming System task.

But that task was just time-consuming. Find some easy-to-mature seeds, scatter them in the field, use the Formula of Rain and Breeze once or twice, then just wait for the harvest.

As for the other System tasks, most of them were forcing Lin Bai to become famous.

There was also the task of pairing up two Bit Famous people as a couple…

All the tasks were pushing Lin Bai to stir up trouble.

Even without the System urging him, Lin Bai knew that his leisure time had come to an end.

Having reached this point, he could no longer live comfortably in this world.

Hesitation meant death.

Only by completing tasks could his strength rapidly increase.

Climb all the way to the top.

Only by standing on equal footing with those powerful figures could he protect himself and truly stop to enjoy life.

As for whether this world was a game or if there was someone pulling the strings behind the System!

Lin Bai had stopped considering it.

What good would it do?

When he reached a high enough level, everything that was supposed to appear would do so naturally.

After organizing the tasks in his mind, Lin Bai turned to look at the bored Little White Fox beside him and said with a smile, "Xiao Bai, let's go!"

"You're not farming anymore?" The Little White Fox's eyes suddenly lit up.

"No more for now. We should go out and stir up trouble," Lin Bai shook his head and laughed. "Otherwise, they'll forget about me."

"Mm-hmm, stir up trouble, stir up trouble!" The Little White Fox nodded vigorously, Transformed back into a little fox, and SWOOSHED into Lin Bai's arms.

She was naturally lively and had long grown tired of pulling weeds and removing pests in the field.

"Xiao Bai, do you want to be my Disciple?" Lin Bai pulled the Little White Fox out of his arms, looked at her small face, and asked.

"Hmm?" The Little White Fox looked at Lin Bai strangely, pondered for a moment, and then shook her head. "No!"

"Why?" Lin Bai asked.

"I don't need to become your Disciple; you'll teach me skills anyway. If possible, I'd rather be your wife." The Little White Fox's eyes flashed with a hint of shyness. She wanted to look down but quickly realized that avoiding Lin Bai's gaze would make her seem guilty. She insisted on looking into Lin Bai's eyes and said, "Master, I also want to comprehend the principles of the Great Path of Love and become Cupid. But after thinking it over, I realize there's no suitable spouse among the people I know. Only you, Master, are the most suitable."

"..." Lin Bai was stunned for a moment, his mind flashing with some inappropriate scenarios, and his face reddened slightly. "You're still young. Wait a few more years before considering this!"

"Master, don't you like me?" the Little White Fox asked plaintively.

"I do like you! But I'm cultivating several Laws at the same time. I already have Jiang Qingqin for the Great Path of Love, so it wouldn't be appropriate for us to be together."

Lin Bai reluctantly made an excuse.

The Little White Fox had Transformed according to his ideal, perfectly matching his aesthetic preferences.

However, the Little White Fox was too young. Even if this was a different world, Lin Bai couldn't get past his own psychological barrier.

Perhaps when she grows up in a few years, and once he holds sway in this world and doesn't have to run around doing tasks like now, he can consider enjoying life.

At this moment, he wasn't suited for too many attachments.

"Oh." The Little White Fox's mood immediately plummeted. Nothing could hurt more than a rejected confession. Tears instantly filled her eyes, and she asked chokingly, "Master, now that you know my feelings, will you still treat me as before?"

"Of course," Lin Bai smiled and helped the Little Fox wipe away her tears. "No one would hate someone who likes them. However, Xiao Bai, you're better off becoming my Disciple. I recently comprehended the Path of the Mentor, and being my Disciple has benefits; it can increase your cultivation speed."

"Okay." Before Lin Bai could finish, the Little White Fox readily agreed. She looked at Lin Bai and forced a smile. "So, should I call you Master, or Shifu?"

"Call me Shifu. But as my Disciple, there's a requirement: you must hold yourself to a standard of virtue. Even if you do something bad, it must be justifiable; you can't be as whimsical as before," Lin Bai affirmed. The Pet System didn't have this demand, but the Good Teacher System had requirements for moral conduct. Every little bit counts; no matter how small, it's still something worth getting.

"Shifu, how can doing bad things be justifiable?" The Little White Fox's moods came and went quickly; she soon recovered from her dejection. She had arrived late and didn't know how Lin Bai had taught Dumbelldore about virtue.

"For example, if you're walking down the road, see someone you dislike, and want to beat them, what should you do?" Lin Bai asked.

"Just hit them!" the Little White Fox said.

"That's unjustifiable," Lin Bai smiled. "If you attack them unprovoked, not only will they not be convinced, but onlookers will also think you're doing something wrong. You'd have no justification wherever you go."

"Then I'll beat the onlookers too," the Little White Fox said. "If I beat them until they submit, then I'll be in the right."

"..." Lin Bai's eye twitched. He suddenly felt that being a teacher wasn't so easy. He rubbed the Little White Fox's head. "That's one way. But now, I'm talking about the virtue of the Path of the Mentor; it's related to the Laws, so don't change the subject."

"Mm-hmm." The Little White Fox nodded, then she perked up her ears. "Shifu, go on, I'm listening."

"You can question them: 'Why did you step on an ant just now while walking? All life is equal. For you to arbitrarily take another's life means you have no compassion. Today, I am beating you without apparent reason to make you feel the pain of the ant you so casually killed, to make you understand empathy, so that from now on, you will respect life.' Lin Bai casually gave an example. "That way, you can righteously beat them up!"

The Little White Fox was dumbfounded for a long moment before finally saying, "But I feel like that's still being a bad person! Even worse than just hitting them directly..."

"This is guiding them, teaching them a lesson. How can it be bad?" Seeing the bemusement in the Little White Fox's eyes, Lin Bai laughed. "Alright, I was just giving you an example to explain what virtue is.

"You really shouldn't go around bullying good people for no reason. In all the time you've followed me, when have I ever bullied those weaker than myself?

"After all, we belong to the Righteous Door; we can't betray our origins. But when dealing with bad people, you can act this way. This allows you to always hold the moral high ground. Understand?"

"I understand!" The Little White Fox nodded vaguely, lost in thought.

"As long as you understand," Lin Bai said. "In the future, when I take in more Disciples, you can tell them how to properly become a person of virtue."
