Chapter 199 – The System's Secret Weapon (Part Two)

Thus, following the Night Phoenix Society’s lead, the Big Three Clubs also initiated morning running routines. Before long, morning runs had become a defining tradition at Jun Yao. Every day at 5 AM, an overwhelming tide of students would flood the parade ground for laps, filling the Principal with immense pride.

These were undoubtedly the most driven students in years!

5 AM—rising before dawn to run laps!

Hahaha, absolutely fantastic!

While the school administration was delighted, the students were miserable. Consequently, they directed their resentment toward Ye Yunxi once again.

If it weren’t for Night Phoenix setting this trend, who the hell would be out here running laps?!

But Ye Yunxi paid no mind to their complaints. It was the weekend, and she needed to return home.

“Um, President, could we possibly remove these wristbands before going home?”

They had tried countless times, but the resin was fire-resistant and, damn it, impossible to cut—the material was truly unbeatable!

“No. If you want them off, you’ll have to earn first place in physical fitness first!”

With her firm refusal, everyone could only leave in resignation. Well, it looked like they’d be running laps at home during the break too. Sob sob, why did they even join Night Phoenix in the first place?! So exhausting and tough!!

The blueprints had already been handed over to the renovation team. As before, she used the System to print out the renderings. She had only one demand: complete the work as quickly as possible and ensure the club classroom would be usable within a month.

As a result, the 26,000 Prestige points were nearly depleted—she couldn’t even afford to exchange for meat for Hades anymore.

Ye Yunxi let out a long sigh. Prestige was easy to earn, but it couldn’t keep up with the System’s high prices. Prestige increased in increments of ten, yet spending started at 1,000 Prestige—the disparity was just too large!

【Host, this is all the programmers’ fault! It has nothing to do with me, nothing at all!!】

The System deftly shifted the blame onto the programmers. After all, they weren’t around to defend themselves, and more importantly, it had to remain pure and untainted in the Host’s eyes!

Ye Yunxi remained silent and simply tossed her suitcase to Butler Wen.

When Ye Jianxing saw her return, a touch of warmth softened his stern expression.

“How is Jun Yao? Which of the Three Great Societies did you join?”

None of the Ye Family’s children had ever been capable of joining the Three Great Societies. Now that Ye Yunxi had emerged as an exception, Ye Jianxing couldn’t help but feel hopeful.

“Oh, I didn’t join any of them.”

“None… then which one did you join?”

Ye Jianxing was puzzled. Was there a club better than the Three Great Societies? It didn’t seem likely!

“Night Phoenix!”

“Night Phoenix? How come I’ve never heard of it?” Was there such a club at Jun Yao? Or was it so obscure that he simply hadn’t remembered it?

“Yeah, because it’s a newly established club this year. It doesn’t have much reputation yet.”

“You actually joined a new club!!”

Ye Jianxing was furious. With your capabilities, why would you join a new club?!

“Correct!” Ye Yunxi smiled faintly, her gaze challenging as she looked at Ye Jianxing. “A new club—one that I founded myself!”

“You founded it?”

It took Ye Jianxing a moment to process this. His anger instantly dissipated, and the old man stared at Ye Yunxi with a peculiar expression.

“You…”

Ye Jianxing suddenly grew excited, as a realization dawned on him.

“Yunxi, you!!”

The old man sprang to his feet, his eyes shimmering with emotion.

Was Yunxi truly planning to revitalize the Ye Family? That had been his lifelong aspiration!!

【Ding! Prestige +10!】

Ye Yunxi chuckled to herself. She hadn’t even said anything yet, so why was Prestige being awarded?

“Grandfather, I recall you saying that whoever among them has the capability is welcome to challenge me for the position of Heir.”The girl spoke while brushing back her long hair, indifferently crossing her legs and tapping the armrest of the sofa with her fingers rhythmically.
