Chapter 136: Public Enemy of the World

As for what concrete manifestation Faith has, Lin Bai did not feel it, and the system did not provide a specific explanation either.

But it is certain that these fans can provide him with a large amount of Positive Emotion value.

In a short while, the happiness index of these fans who received their idol's autograph exploded, almost ripening a new Temperament Fruit.

Eating multiple Temperament Fruits can make one's image more perfect, and then attract more fans.

Win-win, perfect!

Even if these fans become his haters because of some matter in the future, they can still provide him with Negative Emotion.

This is the only good thing about the system; he never loses out!

……

Currently.

Lin Bai has Luck, Merit, Spirit, and Temperament, and now he has added Faith.

Gathering all these high-end things in one body, he does not know how many layers of halos will eventually be placed upon him.

Perhaps in the end, no matter where he goes, everyone will bow down to him upon seeing him.

Once he reaches that realm, in this world, he could truly walk sideways, getting whatever he wants, and whether he returns to Earth or not would truly be irrelevant!

……

The Super Idol System does not seem to need him to do anything?

In the time it took to sign a few dolls, the system's task of accumulating fans was completed more than ten times over, as if the screen were being refreshed.

The number of fans has already reached over eight hundred, more than the backbone of the Beggar Sect.

There are only twenty-some fans at the scene, yet the total number is over eight hundred, which is enough to prove that there are fans who worship him in other places as well.

As expected, there are all kinds of people in the game.

The Gelige who hates him for no reason, the Support Group Leader who worships a virtual idol, the silly Deng Li Buduo……

Lin Bai sighed, you will never know what kind of existences players can be……

Among all systems, the Super Idol System should be the simplest one; it seems he only needs to act cool and maintain exposure.

As for leading fans to grow?

Lin Bai naturally does not take it to heart; what a joke, everyone is an adult, who needs someone to lead them!

……

There were people arranged in advance by Gelige who, rushing ahead of everyone else, hurried to sects without players like Hundred Flowers Valley and the Chaoyuan Sword Sect to act as undercover agents to block other players……

More players rushed to the Beggar Sect registration point.

The number of players gathering toward the Beggar Sect was clearly more than at other sects……

After all.

Lin Bai's attraction is too great.

What "Lin Bai must die"?

When it comes to talking and doing, who isn't willing to earn some pocket money for themselves while playing a game?

Moreover.

Behind the Beggar Sect is the Justice Gate.

Gelige looked coldly at Lin Bai, who was surrounded by people, a trace of imperceptible laughter crossing the corner of his mouth; this was the effect he wanted……

Chaoyuan Sword Sect.

The one who snuck in to act as an undercover agent was a player named "Yi Zhi Qiu".

After successfully registering, he stood by Zhao Ang's side as a matter of course, smilingly saying to the second player to come and register, named "Tou Tie Wa": "Buddy, go register at the Beggar Sect first!"

"I just want to be a Sword Immortal, I don't want to join the Beggar Sect." Tou Tie Wa frowned and said.

"I don't want to join the Beggar Sect either," Yi Zhi Qiu said, "but if the Beggar Sect doesn't die, where is the fairness? Great God Ge has already united everyone, inciting all players to join the Beggar Sect, artificially breaking the game's balance and triggering a civil war between NPCs……"

Before the words were finished.

A huge uproar suddenly erupted from the Beggar Sect side, once again attracting everyone's attention.

"Are they crazy, robbing people?"

"They've fallen into the money pit!"

"Forget it, forget it, what the hell is the point of playing the Beggar Sect? They judge people by their appearance; such a trashy sect will be killed by someone sooner or later."

"Blatantly destroying game balance."

"Lin the Dog must die."

……

The angry players didn't even need to use private messages; they cursed out loud directly in the game.

Gelige turned his head in confusion to look.

On the Beggar Sect's crude background stage, a piece of red cloth was held up by two Beggar Sect Disciples, with several lines of large characters clearly written on it: "Join the Beggar Sect, registration fee for a Basic Disciple is 1,000 taels of silver; registration fee for a One-Bag Disciple is 2,000 taels…… registration fee for a Nine-Bag Elder is 20,000 taels; those with rich social connections will be given priority for recruitment!"

Pfft!

Gelige almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

What the hell is this?

Are the spots for Beggar Sect Disciples gold-plated?

One thousand taels each, why don't you go rob someone?

According to the official conversion formula, one tael of silver is equivalent to ten yuan in cash.

One thousand taels is ten thousand yuan.

Currently.

Besides the gifts from tipping.

The game officials did not enable a module for silver-to-currency exchange.

In other words.

Once money is topped up into the game, it can only be spent in the game; nothing else can be done with it.

Players joined the Beggar Sect wanting to earn pocket money; before they've even started playing, they have to pay 10,000 in, so who would still want to join the Beggar Sect?

Seriously?

Gelige was practically going insane.

Although the players were cursing Lin Bai, he knew that his plan had failed completely.

10,000.

The threshold was high enough to block most players.

The most terrifying thing was that if a player were truly willing to spend 10,000 to join the Beggar Sect, they would definitely be a high-quality player, a die-hard fan of the Beggar Sect, the kind who would lay down their life for the Beggar Sect once they joined...

With this group of big spenders joining the Beggar Sect, there would be no way for other players to survive.

None of that mattered!

What mattered was that his plan had ended before it had even begun.

So what if the players were angry?

Everyone came out of the novice village, and with their current levels, challenging Lin Bai one-on-one was purely asking for death...

It's over!

All the money he invested in the early stages had gone down the drain...

If a fight didn't break out, the advertising sponsors behind him would definitely be dissatisfied, and he might even have to pay liquidated damages?

Gelige looked ashen, wanting to cry but having no tears; which bastard gave the Beggar Sect this idea? Since you planned to screen players, why didn't you say so in advance?

Pulling this stunt on-site, are you kidding me?

No!

The Beggar Sect was targeting him!

Someone had betrayed him!

Gelige subconsciously looked toward Golden-Haired Lion, his eyes bloodshot; his own brothers couldn't have betrayed him, so the only ones left were players from other sects!

He clenched his fists tightly; it was them, it had to be them, taking his money while also wanting to take the sect rewards, perhaps even trading his intelligence for the Beggar Sect's money...

Damn it!

They really aren't human!

I'll remember you all!

The game is long; if I don't force you to quit the game, I'll quit the gaming circle forever...

At this very moment.

Gelige's fury had long since shifted from Lin Bai to Golden-Haired Lion and the others; to hell with game fairness, from now on, I am also a game wrecker.

"Boss, what do we do now?" Hummingbird also realized this truth and asked foolishly.

"Wait for Huilong Temple to lose their temper!" Gelige sighed gloomily, "When things get chaotic in a moment, find a chance to slaughter Golden-Haired Lion, Living Under the Crotch, and Little Cat Doesn't Eat Fish."

"?" Hummingbird looked at Gelige in confusion, "Boss, you suspect they leaked our plan to the Beggar Sect?"

"No need to suspect, it's 100%," Gelige said, "Everything was too coincidental; I don't believe the Beggar Sect would push players away when they want to expand."

At this time.

Jinzhao Wujiu logged back in, and seeing the messy scene over at the Beggar Sect, he was also dumbfounded: "What's the situation?"

Hummingbird whispered the reason to him.

"Damn!" Jinzhao Wujiu cursed, saying gloomily, "I just pulled in the ads..."

The moment the Beggar Sect's recruitment standards were put up.

The Negative Emotion Value in Lin Bai's backend exploded in an instant; he had successfully forced himself into becoming a public enemy.

Watching the angry players trending toward gathering around him, Lin Bai gathered his Internal Energy: "City Guard, take orders! The recruitment fair is jointly held by the Beggar Sect and Qian City and concerns the City Lord's reputation. If anyone charges the booths, kill without mercy! Those driven out of the venue who try to re-enter will be imprisoned for half a year."

Once these words were spoken.

The City Guard on the perimeter of the venue turned in unison, standing facing the venue, their crossbows aimed at all the players, the cold-glinting arrowheads looking as if they could take a life at any moment.

The recruitment fair venue went quiet in an instant.

The players looked at each other and stopped their chaotic movements; most of them were third-batch Pioneers, their levels were not high, and whether they died or not didn't really matter.

But the Resurrection Point was outside the venue; dying and coming back, only to be imprisoned, would be pointless.

For a time.

Everyone became much better behaved.

"To hell with it, the Beggar Sect is my lifelong enemy from now on."

"If I don't kill Lin Bai, I won't be able to vent this frustration in my heart."

The noisy voices of the players rang out in the private chat channel.

"Shopkeeper Lin, don't be afraid, we will always stand on your side." The Lin Bai Support Group Leader heard those private chat voices, her expression changed slightly, and she stood closer to Lin Bai, whispering, "Even if we join other sects."

"Mm, the Beggar Sect actually isn't suitable for you; choosing other sects is quite good," Lin Bai smiled, "In the future, when the Beggar Sect talks business with you, please put in a few good words for the Beggar Sect; Lin is already deeply grateful."

Glancing sideways at Gelige, Lin Bai comforted his fans and said loudly: "Everyone, there is more than one Beggar Sect in the world; there are so many sects to choose from, why must you hang yourself on one tree?"

"This kid is a talent!"

Official recruitment office.

The scholar looked at Lin Bai with appreciation and said to the person beside him, "One Basic City is enough for the Beggar Sect to develop. If he becomes any greedier, it would be no different from courting his own destruction. By charging a fee, he easily extricated the Beggar Sect from the vortex; he is clever. People can be recruited again once lost, but once fairness is lost, everything is gone. After the recruitment fair is over, I must invite him for a drink..."

Before he could finish speaking.

More than a dozen synchronized voices suddenly rang out at the Mysterious Underworld Sect's booth.

"Magical lung nourishment, Miao Village Loquat Dew, welcome everyone to join the Mysterious Underworld Sect. Join the Mysterious Underworld Sect, and together we will kill Lin Bai."

Gelige finally found an opportunity.

Since he was going to be a destroyer of the game, he had to go all out first. Everyone was recruiting, and you, Lin Bai, didn't set a rule that slogans couldn't be shouted.

If you can get exposure, you can make money.

What was he afraid of?

Huaxi Furen was stunned and looked behind her abruptly, "What kind of nonsense are you shouting?"

"Master, the situation is as it is; the disciples were forced to do this!"

Gelige glanced sideways at Lin Bai and explained in a low voice, "Why do the Heavenly Descended want to join the Beggar Sect? Isn't it because the Beggar Sect's advertising effect is good? If you don't let them advertise, the Heavenly Descended won't come. Now that the Beggar Sect's recruitment fair is hoarding wealth, they have already offended the Heavenly Descended. If we don't seize this opportunity, when will we? Master, do you want the Heavenly Descended to always be controlled and distributed by the Beggar Sect? What is he, Lin Bai? We must strike when it is time to strike!"

"..." Huaxi Furen frowned slightly, looked at the group of Heavenly Descended rushing toward the Mysterious Underworld Sect, and decisively made up her mind, "Fine, let's do it this way. This lady grants your request."

At the same time.

The Blood Shadow Sect followed suit.

"Advertise, come to the Blood Shadow Sect," said Golden-Haired Lion, "The Blood Shadow Sect solemnly promises that we will hold no fewer than three sect activities every month. We don't just fight Lin Bai; we can fight whoever we want..."

"This old man can guarantee it." Lan Nuotian stood up and shouted with all his True Qi, "My Blood Shadow Sect and Lin Bai are irreconcilable enemies..."

Canyang Sect.

Pei Lie had not yet understood what was happening; he looked at his bustling peers in confusion and asked foolishly, "What is going on?"

Damn it!

What a plan!

Living Under the Crotch looked at Gelige, who had suddenly changed his strategy, secretly thought "admirable," swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and decided to cooperate with him for another wave: "Master, the Beggar Sect has committed public outrage. Let's recruit people using the excuse of fighting Lin Bai! And advertisements, we must have them, otherwise, no one will come..."

Chaoyuan Sword Sect.

Tong Cha was dumbfounded.

Zhao Ang looked at the evil sects that were suddenly shouting to kill Lin Bai and drawing the Heavenly Descended away, and asked blankly, "Senior Brother, what should we do? Should we also kill Lin Bai?"

"Kill!" Tong Cha looked in Lin Bai's direction and gritted his teeth, "Killing Lin Bai can recruit people, why not kill him? Think about that Lin Bai, he even swindled us out of a Broken Wind Sword!"

Spirit Tool Pavilion.

Wang Jintian and Sun Lie looked at the situation on the field and decisively chose to betray Lin Bai.

Medicine King Valley did the same.

Huilong Temple.

Seeing that the Beggar Sect had suddenly played their trump card of charging fees, ruining the previous plan, Qingling Daozhang had originally been at his wit's end. But seeing the situation in the venue turn around, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Bai had become the public enemy of the world, he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Satisfying, satisfying!"

He slapped the table heavily and gritted his teeth, "Disciples, call out! My Huilong Temple is the true formidable enemy of Lin Bai. Join my Huilong Temple, and within three months, we will surely kill Lin Bai."

Hundred Flowers Valley.

Jiang Qingqin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. She looked at Jiang Yuru: "Master, we won't kill Lin Bai too, will we? He even taught us the profound meaning of cultivation for 'Words Follow the Law'!"

Jiang Yuru said, "Qingqin, are you certain he told you the complete cultivation method for 'Words Follow the Law'?"

"..." Jiang Qingqin froze and looked at Jiang Yuru in disbelief, "Master!"

"Qingqin, now that Lin Bai has become the public enemy of the world, we cannot protect him," Jiang Yuru said, "I know you have feelings for him, but you should cut off this thought as soon as possible!"

"I won't, Master, don't do that..." Jiang Qingqin's eyes were blurred with tears, "Lin Bai still has a master. If we do this, we will offend him deeply. If you insist on killing Lin Bai, then I will..."

Jiang Yuru suddenly reached out and tapped the major acupoint on Jiang Qingqin's chest.

In an instant, Jiang Qingqin froze in place, her eyes darting around in anxiety, but she couldn't say a single word.

"Qingqin, don't think so much. Your master is doing this for your own good," Jiang Yuru sighed, "Disciples, shout the slogan."

The aide looked at the chaotic scene before him and asked with a trembling voice, "Zhao Xiansheng, are you still going to invite him for a drink?"

The scholar wiped the sweat from his forehead: "The Heavenly Descended are indeed unpredictable."

The aide asked, "What should we do? Should we also kill Lin Bai?"

The scholar looked at Lin Bai, but did not see a trace of panic on his face. He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Do not panic. Observe the changes quietly. We represent the official authorities, and Lin Bai has committed no fault. We cannot be as unscrupulous as those sects. At this moment, they are being coerced by the Heavenly Descended. In the future, when the Heavenly Descended grow up, will they still have a way to survive? They are foolish and do not know it!"
