Chapter 251

So, what was presented to the world had become the following information.

【Shocking! In three days, the Magic Pingyi Society will execute the Otherworlder Ace!】

【Declaration of War! The Magic Pingyi Society challenges the Bai Huzi Pirates, showing a hardline stance!】

【The most foolish choice ever — an Otherworlder becomes a councilman! Is there a mole within the Parliament?】

【The Bai Huzi Pirates are attacking — can the Magic Pingyi Society hold them off and defend the dignity of home turf?】

【The great battle is imminent; where will Ishugar head next? Stay tuned for this newspaper's continuing coverage!】

……

As the newspaper printed sheet after sheet, with all of Lin Cheng's puppets fully mobilized, they were quickly delivered to every city of every kingdom across Ishugar.

Within just a few days, the vast majority of people had learned this twisted news, and at once it stirred up a storm of uproar across Ishugar.

Some worried, some agreed, and some opposed…

Different people, different voices.

Those who opposed worried that the Magic Pingyi Society could not stop the Bai Huzi Pirates.

After all, every time an Otherworlder had appeared before, they had been extraordinarily powerful; every time, the Magic Pingyi Society had not gained the slightest advantage, and had even been beaten all the way to the Magic Pingyi Society's headquarters, where the enemy ran rampant before leaving.

Those who agreed affirmed the Magic Pingyi Society's hardline move.

All along, the Magic Pingyi Society had been on the back foot; in their view, it was entirely because the Magic Pingyi Society had been too weak, and they even felt it was still not hardline enough — it ought to be even tougher.

But… whether in opposition or in agreement, one thing was certain: under Lin Cheng's behind-the-scenes manipulation, this incident had thoroughly entered the public eye.

At this moment, the eyes of the entire continent were turned toward the Magic Pingyi Society!

【Ding! Congratulations to the Host on obtaining 3,527 Emotion Points!】

【Ding! Congratulations to the Host on obtaining 3,527 Emotion Points!】

……

The fermentation of the situation brought an unprecedented, astonishing payoff.

Half a moment after the news spread out, Lin Cheng's Emotion Points once again skyrocketed past a hundred million, then two hundred million, three hundred million…

And judging by the current momentum of growth, breaking through five hundred million was simply no problem at all!

Most crucially, this was only the residual heat before the situation erupted; once it truly exploded, this number would multiply several times over!

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

After exiting the puppet control interface, Lin Cheng did not close the system directly, but turned his gaze to the Premium Mall.

Everything was ready now, but there were still too few people.

In a truly good show, whether the protagonist or the supporting cast, none could be missing.

Just as green leaves set off the red flower — without green leaves, how could the flower's beauty be shown?

Since he was going to hold an unprecedented grand event, how could Bai Huzi alone be enough?

"Open the Premium Mall."

At the word, the Premium system activated; as his gaze swept along, Lin Cheng looked once more into the Pirate series, and finally settled on the Bai Huzi Pirates' exclusive list.
