Chapter 195

Moreover, after this incident, the entire Magic World can no longer be as peaceful as before, and the Daoshigong Society will inevitably be busy.

Even if they wanted to entertain him, they probably wouldn't have the time.

"We'll see you off."

"No need." Lan Ran smiled lightly, his 'gentle' expression giving off an air of approachability.

"After this series of incidents, it will be hard for your side to settle down either, so let us take our leave here."

Hearing this, Makarov nodded and said with a hint of apology.

"Mm, then I won't insist on your staying."

"Lord Lan Ran, if you have the opportunity, please be sure to convey to your esteemed lord that we are deeply grateful for Soul Society's assistance in this incident, and we hope both sides can maintain this friendship going forward."

Makarov's words were utterly sincere.

This sincerity was not feigned.

If at first Makarov still harbored some doubts about Lan Ran's words, after going through this incident, there were no longer any misgivings in his heart.

And as for Soul Society, that ancient and mysterious world of the dead, he sincerely hoped that both sides could become steadfast allies.

"Of course, I will report your words faithfully to the Spirit King, my lord."

Hearing this, Makarov also broke into a grin.

In an era about to descend into chaos, having a powerful faction as an ally is a good thing—for Fairy Tail, for the Magic World, and for all the humans on the Ishgar Continent.

As Makarov grinned, Lin Cheng, far away, also broke into a grin.

Because...

This harvest far exceeded his anticipated expectations!

Aside from harvesting a large amount of Emotion Value from the personnel involved and obtaining Nirvana, the incident that occurred is still continuing to ferment!

Taking this opportunity, Lin Cheng had the puppet controlling the newspaper quickly manufacture public opinion.

Among them, Lin Cheng even etched the past deeds and harms of the Dragon Race onto the front page, placing them before the eyes of the world, directly reopening the old scars of the human race and exposing them to the world.

In an instant, the momentum of public opinion surged several times over!

【A Dragon Race Appears on the Grand Line! A Terrifying Creature Returns After Four Hundred Years!】

【The Grand Line, the World Government's Control and the Appearance of the Five Elder Stars—What Does It Mean?】

【Shocking! Four Hundred Years of Secret History, the Ancient Hegemon Returns—Will Humanity and the World Once Again Fall Under the Dragon Race's Rule?!】

【The Thousand-Year Monu Sect and the Akatsuki Organization Join Forces—What Conspiracy Lies Behind It? How Will the Fapingyi Society Prepare?】

【The World Is Already in Peril—Where Will the Human Race Go, and Who Can Lead Us to Peace?】

【Can the Newly Established Pingyi Society Respond to the Crisis and Resolve the Predicament? Stay Tuned!】

Boom—!

In an instant, from the moment they left the Gas Tree Sea, the Emotion Value in Lin Cheng's mind had been constantly jumping.

After all, the occurrence of this incident was far too sudden!

The failure of this operation to subdue the Akatsuki Organization was beyond everyone's expectations.

One must know that this operation deployed six of the Ten Holy Mages—a full six!

Among them were even two Heavenly King-level Great Mages, Ultear and Wallude Seiken!

But even so, they still lost!

Even with several people standing in the world joining forces unable to win, just how terrifying must the opponent's strength be!

Then there was the intelligence about a giant dragon appearing in the Gas Tree Sea.

Although the Magic Pingyi Society kept emphasizing that the giant dragon's identity was one of the Five Elder Stars controlling the World Government from the Grand Line, so what?

The fear etched into one's bloodline does not simply dissipate on command, and especially under Lin Cheng's deliberate guidance, it stirred up a thousand-fold wave of panic.

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 2,451 Emotion Value!】

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 31,411 Emotion Value!】

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 793 Emotion Value!】

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 3,110 Emotion Value!】

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 847 Emotion Value!】

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 9,527 Emotion Value!】

Just one day had passed, and Lin Cheng's Emotion Value had skyrocketed from its original single digits to 370 million.

And judging by the current growth momentum, breaking through 500 million is absolutely no problem!

Moreover, the information disseminated by the newspaper has not yet fully spread; as time goes on, more people will inevitably be affected by this incident.

If Ishgar Continent and other continents had information exchanges, it wouldn't be impossible for the Emotion Value to double!

It can be said that this time, Lin Cheng has truly struck it rich for the first time!

Ever since the Premium Mall opened, Lin Cheng could only stare at the S-rank puppets above and drool; the mere tens of millions of Emotion Value in his pocket couldn't even buy half a puppet.

Although he had sufficient Emotion Value, Lin Cheng had spent a great deal of effort planning this incident.

In the early stages, he even invested a massive amount of Emotion Value into the Akatsuki Organization for upgrades, spending twenty million Emotion Value to summon Uchiha Itachi while raising Xuanwozhang Sect to three stars, and raising Itachi to three stars as well.

Precisely because of this, for the sake of this plan Lin Cheng paid a heavy price; after several rounds of operations, his Emotion Value once again hit rock bottom.

All these sacrifices were in order to perfectly stage this show!

And now, with this Emotion Value, Lin Cheng can finally go all out!

'Premium Mall, open!'

He silently recited in his mind, and a blue light immediately appeared before Lin Cheng; as his gaze shifted, illusory figures flashed past him one after another.

These are all S-rank, top-tier powerhouses from various worlds.

Black long hair, red iron bracers on both wrists — the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama.

Designated price: 140 million Emotion Points, direct purchase 280 million!

Black short hair, hawk-like sharp yellow eyes, wielding a black blade — the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Hawkeye Mihawk.

Designated price: 130 million Emotion Points, direct purchase 260 million!

Tall and large build, black hair draped over the shoulders, a pair of long horns like a horned dragon's, wielding a wolf-fang club like a Demon King — the Four Emperors, Kaido.

Designated price: million Emotion Points, direct purchase 340 million!

……

"……"

Lin Cheng did not choose to purchase any of the above puppets.

Although the Emotion Points had increased significantly this time, they ultimately hadn't come from a flood.

He still couldn't spend them carelessly — money had to be spent where it counted; he still needed to pick carefully.
