Hearing Pei Guang's voice, Fu Xuan felt like a savior had arrived. As the head of the Divination Commission, she held a high position in the Xianzhou Luofu, but when it came to dealing with Heliobi, she had no idea what to do.

Fu Xuan: "You're here? I was just posting on that website to see if it would work. If it didn't, I was planning to ask for your help. I didn't expect you to come right away."

Pei Guang: "When I saw the username and avatar in that post, I knew it was you. But if you suspected Heliobus, why didn't you just contact the Ten-Lords' Commission or me directly? Why post in the group?"

Fu Xuan sighed: "I didn't have enough confidence to say 'this must be a Heliobus' causing trouble,' so I tried posting to test the waters. I also wondered if maybe Qingque suddenly had an epiphany. But now that you're here, I know for sure that she's been affected by a Heliobus.

Before, when you helped me exorcise the Heliobus, Qingque played a big part, and I wanted to thank her and give her more opportunities. But for some reason, the past few days, she's been arriving earlier than anyone else and staying later.

Today, when I received a report from the diviners, she mentioned wanting to resign from her position and encouraged her colleagues to join her in starting a business..."

Why hadn't they noticed anything odd in the past few days?

It was because Fu Xuan had seen many people experience an epiphany and suddenly walk down a completely different path due to a small event. She thought that maybe Qingque had had such an epiphany, deciding not to slack off anymore, not to be lazy.

But today, she was planning to take other diviners and start a business?

Fu Xuan believed that Qingque could become diligent for a while, but for her to quit and start a business? That was proof that something was wrong with Qingque.

Because she wasn't entirely sure, Fu Xuan had only posted a message on a popular paranormal website recently to test the waters.

To her surprise, this attempt ended up bringing Pei Guang and Stelle into the situation, which confirmed that Qingque was indeed possessed.

Pei Guang showed a thoughtful expression: "I see! So, where is Qingque?"

Fu Xuan put her hand on her hip: "She's over in the library, having a lively discussion with her colleagues about envisioning a bright future. Let's go, I bet you two are curious."

Under Fu Xuan's lead, Pei Guang and Stelle arrived at the library door, and they could already hear Qingque talking passionately with a few colleagues.

As they got closer, they overheard the conversation.

Diviners watching: "Qingque, I heard you're planning to resign?"

Serious diviner: "I never thought I'd hear Qingque discussing the meaning of life..."

Onlookers: "Oh~ Is the Divination Commission going through a change?"

At that moment, Qingque looked like someone who had seen through the meaning of life as she spoke confidently: "Looking back, my life was full of regrets, but now I've had an awakening! I see the path of fate opening its arms to me!"

Qingque began talking about large projects worth billions and the meaning of life.

Stelle, watching Qingque with a bit of interest, spoke up: "Hey? Not bad! Qingque is so motivated, talking about projects worth billions right off the bat. Ah Guang! Do we have dozens of billions now?"

Pei Guang shook his head: "No, not right now. What we can use is just a few billion. The rest of it's already gone toward buying materials."

Materials were needed for the research station, and Earth's technological development also required them, so every time they had excess credit points, Pei Guang would exchange them for materials.

For example, whenever they received a share from the Echo Space, Pei Guang would send resources to Earth directly.

For players, money was useful if it could buy top-tier equipment or items, but clearly, credit points could only buy small things that improved the gaming experience.

So, Pei Guang didn't keep credit points; he always exchanged them for materials.

Fu Xuan: "Did you see that? With her acting like this, it's honestly a little scary. Ah Guang, do you have any methods to help her return to normal?"

If Qingque truly wanted to work hard, Fu Xuan even thought that she could become the head of the Divination Commission within fifty years. But clearly, what was happening now wasn't about hard work: it was possession.

The most straightforward method to exorcise a Heliobus was to use Pei Guang's Savory Truefire, but looking at this Heliobus' state, it seemed like it was quite hardworking.

Such a Heliobus would likely have one of the following attributes: "Craftsmanship," "Workaholic," or "Corporate Slave."

If it had these attributes, it would be great for work!

Not to mention, Pei Guang's top Heliobus worker, Tutu, would absolutely be thrilled if this Heliobus joined.

So, in order to acquire a more advanced worker, Pei Guang decided to use a more peaceful approach this time.

Pei Guang: "The Savory Truefire would definitely work quickly, but if we can get Qingque to break free from the Heliobus' control on her own, it'll be much more beneficial for her!"

Stelle nodded: "Right! It would be a big benefit!"

As for who the benefit was for, though, although Pei Guang didn't say it, Stelle could tell from his serious expression.

Pei Guang continued: "We can use something Qingque is interested in to help her regain consciousness."

Fu Xuan: "Interested in?"

Pei Guang: "Watch me!"

Pei Guang took out a huge container from his storage space, then dove into it and pulled out a set of Celestial Jade.

After taking out the cards, Pei Guang turned to Stelle and Fu Xuan: "Come on! Sit down! Let's have a game of Celestial Jade."

Fu Xuan: "At a time like this, you want to play Celestial Jade? Wait… you..."

At first, Fu Xuan didn't quite understand, but then she realized what was going on. She smiled: "Very well! Let me join you guys."

Fu Xuan sat down, but since there were only three of them, there was one spot left.

Pei Guang: "Oh no~ We're missing one! Hey, any of the diviners over there? Who's got time during working hours to join the Master Diviner in a game of Celestial Jade?"

As soon as Pei Guang spoke, those who had been excited suddenly went silent.

Seeing Fu Xuan sitting down and picking up a card, all the diviners swallowed nervously.

"Master Diviner?"

Fu Xuan calmly looked at them: "Don't be afraid. It's still working hours, but I'm allowing one of you to play a game of Celestial Jade with me."

But as soon as Fu Xuan said that, the diviners seemed even more scared.

"Ah? I just remembered I didn't finish my work."

"Ah, it's time to leave? I'm off then."

"I've had enough of a break, time to get back to work!"

Fu Xuan was genuinely inviting them to play, as they needed one more player, and the affairs of the Commission couldn't be left unresolved, especially with everyone feeling uneasy.

It was affecting work efficiency.

But to her surprise, as soon as the diviners saw Fu Xuan, they all ran away.

It felt like a scene where a boss or homeroom teacher catches someone playing games during work or class time, and even though they're really inviting you to join, no one has the courage to accept.
