"200 million credit coins have been deposited into your account."

"100 million credit coins have been deposited into your account."

"2,000 SS-rank Starfall Ore have been deposited into your account."

"300 SSS-level Moonfall Ore have been deposited into your account."

"300 million credit coins have been deposited into your account."

"200 SSS-level Iridium Purple Cores have been deposited into your account."

....

Once the communicator started vibrating, it was like it was glitching and wouldn't stop.

Everyone present couldn't help but smirk.

No one in this world can resist the feeling of money falling from the sky!

Wu Yue shrugged, "If you all think this is bad and damages your current image, I can just have the Secretariat cut your segments from the video."

Before anyone could exchange glances, Richard, feeling the growth of his willpower and the strengthening of his mental energy, immediately dropped to his knees and switched sides:

"Yue Yue, I think the decision you made is very wise.

I fully support your approach and decision. As for Charles' earlier accusations against you, I condemn them strongly!"

Charles, "...Go to hell."

Listening to the constant sound of credits pouring into his account, the broke Shen Qingci said righteously:

"Wu Yue, I support your approach. Only by letting the people know the hardships we've endured can we inspire their determination to rise up and build the alliance!"

Fu Yanqi seconded, "I have no objections." Only a fool would turn down easy money—what’s the worth of pride anyway?

Besides, if we’re going to be publicly embarrassed, we’ll all be embarrassed together! And all the fellow disciples in the video are dead anyway!

He understood—this was called fan engagement through hardship! The more hardship, the faster the money rolls in!

Wu Yue nodded repeatedly and looked at Charles, "Major General Charles, you don’t need money to develop the Northern District, do you?"

Charles gritted his teeth, then calmly put on a professional smile with eight teeth showing, "Thank you, immortal, for considering the difficulties of my Northern District. As long as it helps develop the North, I don’t need pride."

That settles it.

Li Yiran, "I want to keep my pride. Remove my part from the video."

Everyone, come look—here’s a straight-laced person!

Charles tried to persuade him, "Just let it go. The Li family’s money has all been confiscated, and now even you, the young master of a financial group, have to work to earn a living. There’s no need to cause yourself trouble over pride.

What’s the use of pride for a grown man? With your face out there, money will come pouring in!"

Li Yiran gritted his teeth repeatedly, "Don’t be so easily fooled. This video is clearly going to be played from the start of the registration all the way to the end of the tournament.

The entire event lasts 14 days, 24 hours a day, 1,440 minutes, with this five-minute video playing on a loop across the alliance’s forums and all major public hologram displays!

The entire alliance will know that I was treated like a dog by Chu Cixie—I can’t bear this shame!"

Richard was thrilled, "Awesome! With that kind of playback duration and frequency, how much would I be raking in!"

Charles happened to see the scene where Qing Xuan was being messed with by the Dark Order, "Don’t get so worked up. Look, even someone who cares so much about his image as our Young Marshal can endure it. What’s there for you to—"

Before he could finish, Qing Xuan made a beeline for Wu Yue.

Shen Que was playing defense like in a game of keep-away, blocking one side and then the other.

Shen Que stood in front of Wu Yue, "What are you doing?"

Qing Xuan’s face was stern. He took a deep breath, trying to control his emotions, but failed.

His veins were popping in anger, he gritted his teeth and spat out each word,

"Delete my scenes from this video!!"

Wu Yue blinked, "That’s not my call. Why are you coming to me?"

Qing Xuan was so angry his veins were throbbing, "I went to the secretariat, and they said the video was provided by you!!"

Wu Yue nodded, "Yes, and let me tell you, the military’s security is really tight.

If it weren’t for taking down the Dark Order this time, I wouldn’t have gotten such precious footage."

Qing Xuan snapped, "Wu Yue!! Don’t go too far!!"

Everyone exchanged glances, unable to resist feeling a pang of sympathy for the Young Marshal.

Poor guy... heh.

Finally, it was their turn to enjoy the drama.

Shen Que said disapprovingly, "Qing Xuan, don’t be so harsh with Wu Yue. You’re a grown man, have a bigger heart."

Why the aggression? Staring like that, you’ll frighten my sweetheart.

Wu Yue immediately leaned into Shen Que’s arms, "He’s so scary."

Qing Xuan was so mad he could spit blood. He had never seen such unreasonable people!!

These people made his embarrassing moments public, and now they’re saying he’s narrow-minded!!

Qing Xuan shot back, "This isn’t just about me being teased—it’s about my brothers being killed, and me being powerless!

I don’t think this is something to joke about! Wu Yue, this isn’t funny at all, not one bit!

You can mock me, but you can’t make light of the military’s sacrifices!"

Wu Yue said seriously, "Qing Xuan, I have never treated anyone’s sacrifices as a joke.

If you want your scenes removed, no problem. Your wishes will be respected.

If you don’t want to speak up or accept your dragon-bone treatment, that’s fine too—it’s your own business.

Your brothers were killed, and we've gotten revenge. Instead of drowning in self-blame and helplessness, why not use the alliance’s fundraising channels to support their families? That’s a more practical approach.

The video doesn’t show a single martyr, nor does it disrespect them in any way—there isn’t even a hint of suggestive imagery.

It only shows your anger, pain, and regret after being fooled, your relentless training, your blood, sweat, and tears perseverance under the stars, your unwavering determination to scout again and again, and your vow to find and destroy the Dark Order. If even that makes you feel mocked and humiliated..."

"Then I offer you my most sincere apologies. I'll do some soul-searching and remove all military personnel's footage."

"But Qing Xuan, how do you think I got those clips of you training so hard?"

"And who has been keeping an eye on you, caring about your progress, and sending these recordings to me?"

After saying this, Wu Yue took out her communicator and sent a message to the secretariat.

Qing Xuan looked at Wu Yue, his eyes flashing.

In less than a minute, when they opened the video again, not only Qing Xuan but also Li Yiran and Charles's scenes were wiped clean.

Charles, "..." What the hell?! Why does every damn thing have to involve him?!

Watching his abruptly halted account income, Charles was hopping mad, "I already agreed! I don't need face! Don’t cut me out!"

So what if he was humiliated by Black Tortoise that one time? The rest was all about him grinding day and night, gritting his teeth, and persevering in building the north!!

Richard was overjoyed, "Excellent, we really should respect their personal wishes."

With three good-looking rivals gone, he was sure to come out on top this time!

Richard looked expectantly at Wu Yue, "Could you shoot me a solo promo video? I’ll cooperate fully—just tell me how to pose, and I’ll do it."

Wu Yue, "..." Whoa, there’s no need to be quite that cooperative!!

A Pope himself shouldn’t have absolutely no integrity or backbone!!!

Shen Qingci, not to be outdone, said, "I’m fine with it too. I'm all about fan service—whatever the public wants or wishes, I can fulfill."

As long as the money is right, anything goes. He can bend any which way, with absolutely no shame.

Qing Xuan glanced at these shameless sellouts, stormed off in anger.

As soon as Qing Xuan left, Wu Yue immediately took Shen Que’s hand and swung their clasped hands.

"Come on, let’s follow him. The real show's about to start."

Shen Que held Wu Yue’s soft hand gently and obediently followed behind her.
