Chapter 217 (2/2)

This wasn’t the first tiiven me a reputation quest Before, the Roland Sacred Sword had a special effect, which helped its holder to greatly increase the reputation of the People of the Mist I had investigated the strange way that my system defined reputation before It turned out that the system wasn’t all-powerful This so-called reputation in the end was about how many people knew about you and how deep their impressions were of you As for how many people specifically counted for one point, that was so I wasn’t able to calculate

Toeffect of the Roland Sacred Sword, basically h expectations for the sword holder They would voluntarily tell others about his identity and learn more about his deeds, and this so-called reputation would naturally keep increasing

“As long as I know the rules, then I also kno to cheat…”

And so, after ht ofscandals about celebrities were always the news that people paid attention to the most This allowed me to come up with my devious shortcut

“…Good deeds are never spread, while bad deeds will travel thousands of kilometers on their own In the end, this reputation just requires me to be famous For someone who’s known to be excellent, at most maybe some parents would say ‘you should try to be more like xxx’ and it wouldn’t even spread to the next street over But if it’s some bad deed or scandal, it would probably travel three thousand kilo to spread it”

“Any societies consisting of intelligent creatures are naturally highly interested in negative gossip, especially if it’s a scandal regarding several fa about saving face three hundred plus years ago!”

Alright, the truth was that all I had to do was toss out two slightly perverted stories, and then arrange an acolyte to ask me questions about these stories in a public place with many people around Iit, which successfully created the gossip about inal story was only about the past when I had an unsuccessful romantic relationshi+p with A now, the ruone out of control after they started spreading

“Do you really believe that he canat her? Can you still really call yourself a ic!”

“No, no, just think about it He’s a senior student froeneration, and he e as well I heard that he successfully put a piece of his own soul into his own mana, and all he needs to do is stare at you to cast a ic that attacks your will And that scary soul piece of his will directly use your physical body to create a new baby shard, which is what itat you’”

“In that case, wouldn’t even men—ahhh! I just met him yesterday and even smiled at him! He looked me in the eye, could it be that I…”

“Junior, I recoet a checkup in the infir, and I have the paperwork indicating that I’m in the first-hundred part of the line I can sell it to you for cheap”

To be honest, it was far out of ree

“The hell with getting pregnant just by looking at you! The hell with uys actually believe such non-es? Also, that one over there who’s taking this chance to strike it rich, I’ to remeet the chance, heh heh, just wait to see how I’ to deal with you!”

The part that I was le-handedly created this situation I couldn’t even defend myself, as I needed these rumors to spread even wider I even needed to infla in public with soh, this part wasn’t because of my personal desires! Definitely not!

I did, indeed, bring it upon myself, but how could I stand to suffer alone by e girls, the white-robed perverted monster Kaid! I heard he’s co it all hushed up”

“How is that possible, Teacher Kaid is well-loved and respected by everyone This ood friend of that pervert king? It’s said that they often discuss how to coether, and when an acolyte directly asked that Roland about it, Roland didn’t even deny it!”

And, so, Kaid’s clean reputation for the past hundreds of years was ruined Well, he wasn’t squeaky clean to begin with, and now that people had these ruo off of, old Kaid’s reputation instantly becae as well

Oh, it’s bad of me to do that to an old friend of mine? This was just a little return present Did Kaid really think that I wouldn’t find out he was the one who added the ‘ at the soht, let’s not e his reputation everywhere, but he’s always h this self-ruining of my own reputation was a devious shortcut that definitely hurt nificantly, there were also apparent benefits

“I got to Respected in just two days It’s scary how fastnow I bet just about every faction in the Earth Ele good progress on , I was all up in tears Why? Because I went to a noodle restaurant last night for a bowl of noodles, and even a seventy-year-old lady was so scared that she ht of uy actually let out a death howl and then laid on the road and pretended to be dead

Can you believe it? That acolyte was even of the brawny-uy type I was rendered speechless on the spot

“Thanks to all these ruer Who cares? What’s reputation anyways? Can I eat it? Regardless, I’ve always been single even when I had a good reputation, and also single when I had a bad reputation, so isn’t it all the same?”

Fine then, if it was really all the sah the negative ru speed, there was still a bottleneck Since there was a limited nu once my Respected (infamy known to all) reached about half-step to Venerated, which was rather frustrating

“It seeht, Amelia and the others are supposed to coo with that, then I hope Elisa won’t beat me to death when I return…”

As a veteran teacher of Cloud Tower, this wasn’t the first time Amelia had been to Karo In fact, she even stayed here for three years and made countless hidden preparations If it wasn’t for that, she wouldn’t have been able to create her “plant garden” so successfully

In order to scam and obtain more research funds, and also so that her private research wouldn’t be exposed, sheproper on the surface She always had a good reputation, and apart froeneration that knew her for who she truly was, es treated her as a trustworthy elder And thanks to her gentle appearance (fake) and ladylike behavior (fake), not to mention rumors that she had royal blood (true), and add on that she treated everyone the same (they were all experimental subjects to her), all of this further increased her popularity

In order to ood reputation, before she entered Karo City, she hid all those unpleasant things of hers outside the city, and even especially changed her clothes, took a shower, and spent a lot of time in front of the elic Aain as she held a parasol and walked daintily into town

However, she i about the situation Everyone was looking at her strangely In the past, there was respect, veneration, adulation, and, of course, love, but now, they were looking at her with sy pitiful had happened to her

“Keep at it! Work hard! Everyone will still admire you like in the past!”

“Let the past be the past! Us el Support Club will forever support you!”

The cheers of encourageuely hear from behind her were even more incomprehensible

However, she soon understood what it was all about

When she turned around a street corner, she arrived at Karo’sand busiest intersection, a road that led directly to the city center However, the crowds of people typically here were nowhere to be seen, and luxurious fresh floere strewn about all over the street There were even flags and balloons by the roadside, and in the ure wearing white forive ether again!”

Amelia was stunned for a moment before she squeezed a feords out between her teeth

“Roland! You bastard!”
