Chapter 725: Chapter 723: Depth_1 Chapter 725: Chapter 723: Depth_1 How does that saying go again, that life digs a hole for you, it will surely dig another hole for you.
Looking at Kagetsu Kana before him, Fu Qian deeply felt the profound meaning of this saying.
Because of his multiple manipulations, the Miracle Elixir incident had not resulted in a miracle for this successful lady.
However, the brilliance of a genius cannot be concealed.
Some people are just born to be test subjects.
“Infamy abounds!”
Now facing Kagetsu Kana’s immediate inquiry, Fu Qian nodded and showered her with the highest praise.
And in the next moment, even before Kana could show any modesty, she was already overwhelmed by a roaring cheer.
You could tell that the cheering was truly from the heart, and many of them even came from contestants who hadn’t received a badge.
In some ways, this was happier than a group of Transcendents seeing a Demigod.
It was simple, really: this kind of merriment, even with a hierarchy in place, did not pose a psychological threat, leaving only a pure sense of group identity.
“This … this is … what kind of evil aura is this!”
Amidst the cheering, even an old abbot who had been dozing off in the side hall was startled awake.
And when he realized what had happened, he stood up with a slap on his thigh, his voice trembling.
You’re a monk, are those really the right words for you to use?
In the midst of his snark, Fu Qian noticed that the abbot’s actions were far from over.
“Depth four–”
The next moment, the old abbot’s voice, somewhat like a chant, shakily lifted a grotesquely shaped, bizarre Turning Wheel.
On the wheel, several eyeball-shaped colored lights had lit up, four of them already shining.
These folks really know how to stir things up!
You think because of your cool-shaped gadget, I don’t know that there’s actually a decibel meter underneath?
Before coming here, Fu Qian had already familiarized himself somewhat with the specific settings of the Infamy Rule.
Apparently, in deliberate differentiation from the Supernatural System, the enthusiasts set up nine levels and adopted a reverse calculation method.
From Depth one to Depth nine, the higher the number, the more infamous.
Of course, as for how they differentiated between the depths, Fu Qian wasn’t entirely certain before he arrived on the scene.
And almost immediately upon arrival, Fu Qian noticed this Turning Wheel standing next to the Human-Faced Toad.
They had actually installed a dedicated decibel meter to listen to the intensity of the toad’s buzzing and determine the hierarchy.
You have to admit, that’s very–fair!
Complaints aside, Fu Qian had no prejudice against such harmless second-year enthusiasm.
“Depth four, the Dark Fairy!”
As tolerant as he was, the title that the old abbot exploded with next still caused a small impact on Fu Qian’s will.
You guys are ruthless!
During his reflection, the crowd had already stopped in their tracks because of Kagetsu Kana’s results.
After shouting out, the old abbot quickly got up and headed to the back of the side hall.
A few minutes later, he returned in the center of everyone’s attention, bearing a badge made of black and red material that shimmered with flowing light and looked even more exquisite than those on television programs.
When this badge was solemnly handed over to Kagetsu Kana, there was another thunderous round of applause.
And in the face of such an honor, you could see the surprise and enjoyment in Kana’s eyes–somehow, it seemed to make up for the letdown of the Miracle Elixir.
Thanks to her days of “cultivation,” her demeanor remained composed, and she greeted her admirers quite suitably.
After the commotion, the audience swiftly turned their attention to her male companion, Takagi.
Clearly, everyone was eager to witness a lovely story like that of the notorious duo.
And such anticipation undeniably brought pressure with it.
Brother Takagi took a deep breath, fixed his eyes straight ahead, and stepped forward to press his hand against it.
The next moment, thunder roared in the silent place.
Whether or not thunder struck in Brother Takagi’s heart, the silence was definite.
The onlookers’ expectations plummeted rapidly, and sighs of disappointment rose and fell.
However, after all, it was just for fun; essentially, there wasn’t anything much to it.
It was apparent that Takagi, withdrawing his hand, wanted to console himself with such logic, but unfortunately, he wasn’t very successful.
Even the steps he took back to Kagetsu Kana’s side were unavoidably somewhat stiff.
“It’s alright, you were already very impressive.”
Kagetsu Kana immediately offered a comforting smile, but her choice of words strangely seemed to carry the sound of a stabbing knife.
“It’s still a bit of a pity not to get such a beautiful badge.”
Takagi managed a strained smile and, looking at the badge in Kagetsu Kana’s hand, made an effort to joke about himself.
“Mr. Darcy, it seems I am a bad woman!”
“Doesn’t this mean I haven’t disappointed your expectations?”
Unfortunately, before Takagi could finish speaking, Kagetsu Kana was already toying with the badge in her hand, presenting it in front of Fu Qian.
“Of course.”
Fu Qian did not skimp on his praise while examining the badge in Kagetsu Kana’s hand.
On the pure black base, dark red stripes like blood vessels intertwined and converged at the center into four stars.
It was designed quite well, but indeed it was just a decorative item.
The King of Ye Island didn’t seem to be prepared to get anything from these “talents.”
“Shouldn’t we be heading back now?”
Just at that moment, Su Gao, who was sitting beside him, suddenly spoke up.
Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw her puffing her cheeks and frowning slightly.
“Being watched by so many people makes me uncomfortable.”
It had to be said that her remarks could easily be misunderstood as discomfort caused by Kagetsu Kana.
At least that’s what the group of onlookers around them thought.
“Alright, we can consider today quite fruitful.”
Fu Qian nodded, accepting her suggestion.
Why Su Gao behaved this way was something he understood well–it was because someone had arrived.
And it seemed to be a heavyweight no less formidable than Carlos, currently lurking to one side, staring intently at the two of them.
True to its reputation as a first-rate conglomerate brimming with talent!
Fu Qian was 99 percent sure that this was yet another high-ranking executive from Yasui Corp.
At this moment, in the eyes of the ordinary onlookers, the young lady known as Violetta felt uncomfortable because of the Dark Fairy.
But for those from Yasui who knew the “inside story,” the narrative was different–having noticed the watchful eyes lurking in the dark, Violetta, as the current manipulator of the situation, perceived danger and did not want to ignite a fierce conflict, ultimately opting to leave in a manner befitting her status.

“We should go too.”
As expected, Kagetsu Kana smiled happily, seemingly very satisfied with what she gained from the visit and how Fu Qian referred to her as part of that gain.
“Otherwise, if my sister sees us somewhere, I might end up getting lectured again.”
And the reason she found was beyond reproach.
So much so that even “Violetta” didn’t show any reaction, just turned her head away without speaking.
