The Bizarre Chosen Ones Association

Chen Hao's heart skipped a beat—how had they seen through his lie?

"Lying?"

Su Ye turned to look at the person beside him, then fixed his gaze on Chen Hao. A flickering crimson flame rose in his palm, and the surrounding temperature suddenly soared.

The atmosphere instantly grew tense.

"You lied to us?"

"I—" Chen Hao found himself at a loss for words.

"Fine, I did lie earlier. My system isn’t actually the 'Ultimate Friendship and Unrivaled Assistance System.'"

Su Ye's lips curled into a cold smirk as he pointed to the man next to him.

"Lin Xuan’s ability is Ultimate Lie Detection. No one can lie in front of him—not even someone at the legendary Divine Transcendence realm!"

Chen Hao sighed.

"Alright, the real name of my system is the 'Troll God System.' As long as I trick people, I earn 'Troll Points,' which I can exchange for rewards in the system..."

Su Ye: "..."

Lin Xuan: "..."

Su Ye shot a bewildered glance at Lin Xuan, his eyes questioning.

Lin Xuan nodded. "He's telling the truth this time..."

An inexplicable chill ran down their spines. This system didn’t sound like anything good!

"Then why didn’t you say so earlier?" Su Ye demanded.

Chen Hao looked aggrieved.

"If I told you the real name... would you still want to hang out with me?"

[Ding! Host successfully trolled Su Ye and Lin Xuan, earning 100 Troll Points.]

[Ding! Fate’s Chosen 'Su Ye' and 'Lin Xuan' have been trolled. Host receives 1,000 points.]

The first notification came from Chen Hao’s system, while the second was from Jiang Che’s system!

That’s right—after an upgrade, Jiang Che’s system had unlocked many hidden features.

Chen Hao’s subsystem was directly linked to Jiang Che’s main system, since all the rewards were sourced from Jiang Che’s inventory.

The catch? Jiang Che took a tenfold profit margin.

In simple terms, Chen Hao was the worker, and Jiang Che was the boss.

For every ten points Chen Hao earned, Jiang Che made a hundred without lifting a finger.

Jiang Che also had the 'Ultimate Face-Slapping System' in his possession. With a few tweaks to its source code, he could turn it into a similar system—adding something like 'Face-Slap Points' and binding it to another lackey to farm more benefits.

...

After steadying his emotions, Su Ye asked Chen Hao again,

"Troll God System... can you trick anyone?"

Chen Hao shook his head. "No."

Su Ye exhaled in relief. "Good. Just don’t troll me, alright?"

With Lin Xuan’s lie detection in play, Chen Hao didn’t dare utter a single falsehood.

"No, no—you’re actually my target."

Su Ye’s face paled as he shot a pleading look at Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan smirked. "He’s telling the truth this time too."

"What’s so funny? You’re also my target."

Lin Xuan’s expression froze.

He couldn’t take it anymore!

Because he could clearly sense—this guy wasn’t lying.

What kind of godforsaken system was this?!

Knowing their association’s leader, they wouldn’t be surprised if he sold them out as experience fodder for this guy.

"Stay away from me! Don’t come any closer!" Su Ye took two fearful steps back, looking at Chen Hao as if he were the plague.

"I mean no harm. Trust me, I won’t trick you," Chen Hao said earnestly, standing up with a pious expression.

"Holy shit! Su Ye, run! He’s lying!!!" Lin Xuan screamed in panic.

The two Chosen Ones were nearly scared out of their wits, their earlier mystique completely shattered.

Just then, a composed voice rang out.

A pair of strong hands landed on their shoulders.

"What’s there to run from? It’s just a system. With the Fate’s Chosen Association backing you, what’s there to fear?"

A young man slowly appeared behind them.

His black robes fluttered despite the absence of wind, exuding an air of grandeur.

"Vice Leader?"

The two nearly teared up in relief at the sight of him.

The young man’s gaze settled on Chen Hao. "Troll God System? Interesting... Later, list out all the system’s functions and the items in its shop. We’ll help strategize for you..."

"Chen Hao, wasn’t your sister taken as a maid by Jiang Che after offending him? Is that why you hold a grudge?"

Chen Hao was stunned. Damn, they even made up an excuse for him?

"Exactly!" Chen Hao nodded firmly.

The young man sighed in relief. "Even if your system is... unconventional, it has great potential. We’ll find targets for you to troll, but you’ll give them 40% of the rewards. The association takes 10%, and you keep 50%. How does that sound?"

The moment he said this, Su Ye and Lin Xuan’s eyes lit up.

"I volunteer!"

"Bro, I’m the easiest to trick—I’m super gullible!"

In the Fate’s Chosen Association, the most revered figures were those with system shops.

They were like golden geese—just a few items from their shops could make others green with envy.

Money talks, even for Chosen Ones.

......

Meanwhile, in the Jiang residence, Jiang Che was laughing his head off.

Through the subsystem link, he could clearly see everything happening around Chen Hao.

This was too ridiculous!

"Seems these Chosen Ones aren’t all that impressive."

If they could squabble over scraps from a system shop, they were probably low-tier Chosen Ones.

"But they even have an 'Earth Pavilion' and 'Heaven Pavilion'?"

Jiang Che stroked his chin, his gaze deepening.

"The Chosen Ones in this association are surprisingly well-disciplined. They’ve even assigned roles? Whoever founded this must be a real talent."

Chosen Ones were usually arrogant. To control so many of them... the leader had to be formidable.

And their management style was brilliant—exploiting systems for profit.

"Interesting. Looks like things won’t be boring from now on."

Jiang Che’s lips curled slightly as his eyes grew sharper.

"But... my dear brother-in-law seems to have a rebellious streak!"

He’d clearly heard the vice leader ask if Chen Hao held a grudge against him. Chen Hao had nodded, yet the 'lie detector' hadn’t reacted.

"Tsk tsk... Getting a little full of yourself, aren’t you?"

If Chen Hao ever found out his system was actually Jiang Che’s creation... what would his expression be like?

That would be a sight to behold!

"Oh right, I almost forgot—I still have the 'Ultimate Face-Slapping System.'"

Looking at the system template, Jiang Che’s smile widened.

He already had his next target in mind.
