Star Railway: I'm developing the Star Railway mobile game at my company.

Seeing this, Scott himself completely lost his composure.

"Slander! She slandered me! She slandered me!"

However, the reactions in the story reveal the truth of all this.

Scott stood at attention, clasped his hands, and bowed in apology.

I'm sorry to have bothered you, I'll be leaving now.

Seeing this reaction, the audience couldn't hold back any longer.

"Hahaha, Scott, stand at attention!"

"No, it's true! Dude, your XP is really weird!"

"Then he must really like Schwarzkopf, haha."

"He even bowed; how polite!"

Scott: I'm begging you to let me go!

"This guy is so energetic, he's practically a walking pleasure cell!"

Ultimately, after Silver Wolf left behind a piece of advice—to trust cloud technology—Scott and his men fled in disarray.

All that remained was a sigh on March 7th.

This victory had absolutely nothing to do with swordsmanship; it was the power of technology.

Silver Wolf: [I've learned another proverb from the Immortal Journey: "No sword in hand, but a sword in heart!"]

Thus concludes the "First Flower Swordsman's Journey: Seizing the Master" storyline.

Just thinking about how these hilarious branching endings were possible, and that there were three different endings in total during the event, brought an unexpected wave of elation to the audience.

Chapter 419 Qingque's Storyline, Defense

After experiencing the Silver Wolf branch ending, the audience discussed it with great interest.

"Haha, this event feels more like 'One Hundred Ways Scott Loses'!"

"It's great, I love it! Scott deserves to be tortured!"

"Hey streamer, this branching ending is too reliant on connections. Do you have any simpler yet more powerful ending recommendations?"

"Yes, brothers! Come and see our Boss Que's therapeutic moments!"

With the ending of the slacking master Qingque still to come, Gui Naifen, who is guiding the audience through the plot, has started this branching story.

Then time rewinds, and the scene shifts to the Taibu Si (a local deity), where they unexpectedly encounter Qingque (a bird) among them.

March 7th: [Isn't that Qingque? I think this is the first time I've seen Qingque working seriously!]

Qingque: [It seems you all have a deep misunderstanding about me. I must clarify. I've always been working diligently. I just occasionally slack off for a few hours...]

It was so captivating from the very beginning that it was hard to stay focused for several hours... When it comes to slacking off, Master Qingque is the best!

Because Fu Xuan was away on a business trip reporting, Qing Que had no choice but to be brought in to take over the shift.

Wait a minute, you guys came to Taibusi not just to leisurely sip on taro pops while watching the corporate slaves diligently work, right? And then casually take a picture and post it online, saying this is the daily scenery of Luofu Immortal Ship...?

Upon hearing this, March 7th quickly explained that he had come to the library to see if there were any peerless sword manuals.

So Qingque also learned about the duel with Scott on March 7th.

Qingque naturally offered to help, but the two of them also needed to do Qingque a favor.

Fu Xuan went to the Jade Palace Immortal Ship to meet General Yao Guang, but before leaving, he had already arranged for Qing Que and the others to work until next month.

As if things weren't going to go wrong, the newly arrived Director of the Pill Refining Department sent the forbidden books confiscated from the Medicine King's Secret Manual to the Grand Diviner's Office for safekeeping. Qingque is now almost overwhelmed by the workload.

[You come to the Temple to look for books, and I'm organizing them—what a coincidence!]

This is practically a gift... no, we're the best working partners in the entire galaxy!

This whole charade was truly hilarious.

"Good grief, they're treating us like door-to-door laborers, haha."

"Hey, what are you saying? It's fate that brought you here, so cherish this connection!"

"Look at March 7th's silly face, if I weren't here, he might have really been fooled into a limp."

Xing bluntly stated that this was simply a change of workplace.

【Hey, why would I let guests work! You two are obviously here on a clandestine visit to experience life, right?】

Fortunately, March 7th wasn't really stupid; he immediately signaled Xing to leave.

Seeing this, Qingque quickly stopped the two and said that if they organized the library together, they would have the right to browse the Taibu Si's collection of books, and naturally they could also look for sword manuals among them.

March 7th: [That makes sense. Then let's not delay...]

Qingque: [Wait, that's enough for today. I need to leave work on time.]

【this...】

Whether the Grand Diviner is present or not, we must not allow rumors of the Grand Diviner exploiting the workforce to spread!

It can only be said that Qingque is as principled as ever when it comes to leaving get off work on time, especially with this overly serious reason, which actually sounds quite plausible.

"She really made me cry to death!"

"You're willing to forgo overtime for the sake of the annual 'Most Ideal Employee' award at Tabushi? Hachiko, you bastard..."

"It has to be Boss Que! He always finds all sorts of novel angles to slack off!"

Then they saw Qingque leave Taibu Si with light and cheerful steps, leaving the two to come back another time.

The next day, when I started organizing the library, I searched through the books and actually found something.

The "Exorcising Evil Sword Manual," which requires one to commit suicide by drawing a knife, and the "Ninety-Nine Yang True Technique," which, once mastered, grants a height of eight feet, a waist circumference of eight feet, and an arm circumference of eight feet—each one is more outrageous than the last.

While practicing martial arts is indeed risky, it's not worth paying such a high price if it's just about winning a fight.

On the third day, the two returned empty-handed, only to encounter an unexpected person.

Ling Sha: [Oh, so these are the two helpers Little Sparrow found?]

The nickname "little sparrow" is quite amusing.

"So, Sister Lingsha is also called Little Sparrow Qingque? Haha."

"Looking at it this way, Qingque is indeed quite small, a whole head shorter than Lingsha."

"During the previous check-out mission, when Potio and Silverbranch were standing next to me, it formed a concave shape."

"I really want to know who's taller, Fu Xuan or Qing Que?"

The reason Ling Sha came was to share the extra workload that Qing Que had due to the Pill Cauldron Division. Qing Que showered him with compliments after hearing this.

[Wow! Thank you, Lord Lingsha! If I had known the leader was so considerate, I should have chosen the Alchemy Department instead of the Divination Department back then.]

【Oh? I'll report this to the Grand Diviner right away.】

No, no, no! Let's finish compiling the book list as soon as possible, then the four of us can get together and play cards.

Although the matter was forgotten at the time, it was now being observed by Fu Xuan, who couldn't help but glance at Qing Que beside him.

"Uh... My lord, those were just polite words, please don't take them seriously..."

There was a little incident along the way after today's work began.

The reason is that on March 7th, he fainted after reading a story about a sword demon. After waking up, he wanted to find the other half of the book for the tragic sword demon and give him a perfect ending.

Finally, Qingque suggested starting from the end and looking back, which gave the impression of a final destiny.

During this process, March 7 gradually realized that simply defeating Scott with a sword was not enough. Although Scott would apologize, he certainly wouldn't feel genuinely guilty.

Xing nodded in agreement.

After all, Scott chose Golden Man Alley as the venue for the duel to wash away his previous humiliation.

When the topic of the Golden Man Alley came up, Qingque asked a few more questions, and Xing began to explain the ins and outs of the Scott incident.

When she finished speaking, a rare hint of anger appeared on Qingque's face.

If loving your job is a disease, then this Scott guy should be in intensive care! Just liking it is one thing, but to go out and endanger society is unacceptable!

Faced with such intense competition, Qingque's attitude is...

Scott must apologize to ordinary people like me.

Let's go, March, let's go meet him!

With Bluebird about to join the fight, the audience began to wonder what method Bluebird would use to defeat Scott.

Chapter 420 This is our exciting combination skill!

When Scott arrived at the appointment on March 7, he also spotted the bluebird nearby.

Qingque: [Ahem, before we officially begin the competition, I need to have a few words with you.]

Scott was puzzled when he heard this.

【Huh?! Who are you? What's wrong? Do people from your Immortal Ship always like to show up uninvited?】

Xing then began to introduce the Azure Bird.

[This is General Manager Qing from our Diyu Group!]

Qingque: [Don't scare him. I mainly work as the head of the Grand Divination Bureau.]

Scott breathed a sigh of relief after successfully learning the other party's identity.

"Just a diviner from the Taibu Temple, what's so great about that? I'm a specialist at the Interstellar Peace Corporation! Tell me, do you have more subordinates than me, or have you earned more credits? What makes you so special?"

Clearly, in Scott's view, these are the two marks that measure a person.

Qingque then began to speak in the tone of someone who had been through it all.

[You're not young anymore, but your mindset is like a newbie just starting out in the workplace—you devote almost all your time to work, calling it a love for it.]

[...Shut up!]

As if it were the truth, Scott began to feel a little guilty, while Qingque continued to press on.

I suspect you enjoy identifying with the persona of someone seeking entertainment, spouting wild claims everywhere, all to feign objectivity and maintain an air of detachment at any time.

Scott: [Enough, enough—! Shut up! How could you possibly understand me! Don't act like you know everything!]

The anger mixed with a genuine feeling of being hit where it hit was an eye-opener for March 7; it was the first time he had ever seen Scott get so easily provoked by just a few words.

Xing: [Is this really a harmless little sparrow?]

March 7th: [This is already a fighting sparrow!]

Then, a debate between Scott and Bluebird began!

This scene was a pleasant surprise for the audience.

"Alright, alright, after the physical fight, let's have a verbal battle, is that it!"

"Battle Sparrow Beast, deploy!"

"We must defeat Scott until he is completely convinced!"

The negotiations began immediately, and Qingque started with a soul-searching question.

I'm asking you, is this company your home?

Stubborn Scott refused to back down and stubbornly replied,

[The company is definitely my home! I have so many good brothers here...! Do you know the company structure? The colleagues in the talent incentive department make the company even warmer than home!]

In response, Xing directly told him to ask his subordinates what they thought.

Ask the guys you brought along, can they hold their heads high and say the company is their home? You treat your guys like family, but do they treat you like family?

At this point, one of Scott's good friends chimed in timidly.

[...I was Mr. Scott's grandson.]

Scott: [...Grandchildren, aren't they family?]
