Counterattack System appeared when I'm already At The Mahayana Realm

Jiang Li put on an expression of full understanding, dragging out his reply in a prolonged “Ah, so that was your intention. Don’t worry, I won’t take this matter to heart.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Hongtu immediately sensed a problem, “You always hold grudges, it’s impossible for you not to take this matter to heart. You aren’t affected by this world! You can still lie!”

Yu Yin also recognized that Jiang Li was lying.

Previously, Bai Hongtu had remarked that Jiang Li’s singing was terribly off-key, suitable only for swine.

In response, Jiang Li insisted on singing at Bai Hongtu’s bedside every morning to wake him up. Those who heard it mistakenly thought Bai Hongtu had died, and that Jiang Li was mourning him.

Since then, Bai Hongtu had wholeheartedly eliminated his habit of oversleeping, practicing diligently to eventually defeat Jiang Li.

Bai Hongtu had lofty ambitions, setting a goal that seemed beyond his reach, and that gap only seemed to grow wider.

“So you spotted me that quickly?” Jiang Li raised his eyebrows, noting that he needed to improve his concealment skills.

“This isn’t fair!” Bai Hongtu, representing the Sect Master of Dao Sect, protested vehemently.

Jiang Li had no choice but to reply, “Alright, alright. I swear, I will only speak the honest truth in the Truth-Telling World. If there’s an iota of deceit, may I be punished with not being able to eat candied haw berries for the rest of my life.”

Bai Hongtu sucked in a breath of cold air, shocked by the severity of Jiang Li’s oath.

He had thought Jiang Li would pledge something like undergoing the “Catastrophe of Immortality” as punishment for lying.

Jiang Li was notorious for making such statements associated with the “Catastrophe of Immortality”.

Concerned that Jiang Li might forsake candied haw berries for the sake of lying, Bai Hongtu decided to probe a bit and asked cautiously, “What’s the most shameful thing you have ever done?”

Jiang Li’s grin froze on his face. He hadn’t expected Bai Hongtu to open with such a ruthless question.

Torn between lying and forgoing candied haw berries forever, he finally glared at Bai Hongtu and ground out through gritted teeth:

“I once wrote a short novel. In it, I fantasied of myself becoming king of the Ten Thousand Realms, exclaiming ‘How dare you rebels oppose me?’ ‘To grant you death is my final act of mercy,’ ‘For you, I would defy the world without hesitation,’ ‘How dare the world oppose me?'”.

After Jiang Li finished, the atmosphere chilled for a moment.

Jiang Li felt his cheeks burning hot, thinking that coming to this world was his biggest mistake.

Bai Hongtu broke out in a cold sweat, worrying that not upon discovering Jiang Li’s deep secret, and Jiang Li might silence him by killing him and making it look like suicide.

He even imagined the headline of The Heavenly Machine Times: Former Sect Master Bai Hongtu of Dao Sect found dead. Cause of death: direct injury to the spine from a halberd. After investigations by Emperor Jiang Li, with assistance from Emperor Ji Zhi of Zhou, it was deemed a suicide. The Imperial Palace expresses deep sorrow over Bai Hongtu’s unfortunate demise, a loss not just for Dao Sect, but for all of Jiuzhou.

Yu Yin blinked her eyes, thinking that Jiang Li’s speech was quite impressive, maybe she could learn this way of speaking?

The magical gourd tried its hardest to pretend that it was an ordinary gourd, hearing nothing and knowing nothing.

Jiang Li felt that he shouldn’t be the only one to lose face, so he casually asked, “Yu Yin, why did you say you wouldn’t come to the Truth-telling World, but then you showed up anyway?”

Yu Yin tried her best to keep silent, but she was unable to resist the peculiar power of the Truth-telling World. She admitted, “I was afraid that coming to the Truth-telling World would cause me to reveal my true thoughts, which would be very embarrassing. But then Bai Hongtu provoked me, I knew it was a scheme, so I came over to prove I was not scared.”

After speaking, Yu Yin quickly covered her mouth, pretending those weren’t her words.

She was now contemplating murder.

Why did she make such a rash decision to come over in the first place?

Was the fault with Jiang Li? No, it was Bai Hongtu. Everything stemmed from Bai Hongtu. If Bai Hongtu hadn’t provoked her, she wouldn’t have come.

Yu Yin slowly turned her gaze to Bai Hongtu, scaring him into shivers.

Bai Hongtu felt that if they continued like this, they would end up mutually destroyed. So, he raised his hand and proposed, “I suggest, anything that happens in the Truth-Telling World, we keep it to ourselves and never tell anyone else.”

Jiang Li and Yu Yin quickly agreed.

“Old Bai, it’s rare for you to make a reasonable suggestion.” Jiang Li spoke the truth.

“Indeed, it’s not easy.” Yu Yin also spoke truthfully.

Seeing that Bai Hongtu was about to mathematically advance again, Jiang Li quickly changed the subject, “Let’s focus on learning the language of this world.”

The trio momentarily stopped their verbal attacks, released their Divine Senses to cover the surrounding area, and by listening to people’s conversations, they deduced the linguistic rules of the Truth-Telling World and learned them.

Meanwhile, they also witnessed some conversations characteristic of the Truth-Telling World.

In a university, they “overheard” a professor discussing the final examination content.

“Classmates, the scope of our final exam will only consist of content not covered in my lectures, nothing from what I’ve taught will be tested, please don’t worry.”

“Even if you fail, it’s very normal. After all, I never intended for any of you to pass the examination.”

“I know some of you use memory chips for exam preparation. The purpose of my questions is to tell you that there are some questions that can’t be answered just by using a memory chip.”

A hospital.

“Doctor, what exactly is my illness?”

“Your disease is complex. I have two treatment plans here. One is to use nanobots to restore your body’s function, over a course of twenty stages. The other is to replace your diseased organs with electronic ones.”

“I suggest you choose the first plan, because I get a 20% cut with the first one, while the second allows me only a 5% cut.”

A company.

The company boss was conducting new employee orientation.

“The company encourages you all to work overtime without compensation. That way, you can generate more profits for the company.”

“There’s no harm in working overtime as a young person. If you don’t take advantage of your good health to work extra hours, it will be hard to do so when your health eventually deteriorates.”

“Your current ‘personal value’ is only 100. If you want to increase your ‘personal value,’ you’ll need to work hard. After all, the upward mobility is narrow in society, and you have no other alternatives.”

A courthouse.

“The defendant has committed intentional homocide. He should be charged with the crime of intentional homocide, and his ‘personal value’ subtracted. If the ‘personal value’ is zero, the death sentence should be enacted.”

“The defendant is an entrepreneur who has created nearly a thousand jobs, and is a local star businessman. He has made significant contributions to the local economy. After calculations, his ‘personal value’ is 630.”

“The victim was a company employee, his ‘personal value’ was 101.”

“Subtracting the two values, the defendant’s ‘personal value’ is 529. It’s not zero, so when the defendant’s sentence is served, he will be released.”

…

“Personal value?” All three noticed the judgement process in the court.

“It seems that in the Truth-Telling World, ‘personal value’ is a very important thing.”
