Creating Demonic Cultivation Techniques against Non-human Races-Chapter 172: Hotheads, Fence-Sitters, Online Flame Wars, the Heart of Freeloader—Everyone Has It
However, a Civilization Master angrily spoke up.
"No way! That Lin Ping’an set the lowest price directly, disrupting the entire cultivation technique market. It’s simply unforgivable! We absolutely can’t let him off so easily!"
Hearing this, everyone quietly shifted their steps and moved away.
It’s better to stay away from someone who’s asking for death, so you don’t get splattered with blood when they die.
Anyone with eyes could see that Lin Ping’an was not someone to be messed with.
To say such things publicly at this moment meant either a broken brain or a muddled one.
In any case, a person with a healthy level of intelligence wouldn’t act so foolishly.
Meanwhile, that Civilization Master continued to vent his dissatisfaction and hatred endlessly.
"Lin Ping’an, that snot-nosed little brat, why does his cultivation technique sell so well? Why does he get merit points so freely? It’s just because he’s lucky."
"If I had those resources, I’d be a thousand times better than him!"
"..."
"Moreover, it’s not just that he got lucky; he also ruined everyone’s livelihoods by deliberately suppressing market prices."
"Whether it’s the Yellow Level Technique or the Profound-level Technique, they were all painstakingly and thoughtfully created by us." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"Each technique has its own inherent value."
"Now, with Lin Ping’an’s lowest price, the rules set by the predecessors are in shambles."
"What’s destroyed is the market, but what’s lost is the existing interests of all Civilization Masters."
"Why?"
"I just ask, why?"
"Why do we follow the rules for so long, and they get broken by him?"
"Why do we have to pay for his reckless actions?"
"Thus, we must, absolutely, make Lin Ping’an pay the price... a price paid in blood..."
At this moment, as he spoke, his eyes seemed to light up from deep within, and by the end, there was almost a sense of him about to ignite.
At the same time.
The other Civilization Masters had already moved at least four or five zhang away, and if they waited any longer, they’d be out of sight.
Now, they all showed hypocritical smiles, the kind where their eyes don’t smile.
They pretended to applaud while half-heartedly responding.
"Yes, yes, yes! You’re right! We support you!"
"So great... so great... truly great!"
"Go ahead! The future of Civilization Masters is in your hands, good luck, oh yeah!"
"..."
Seeing this scene, the Civilization Master grew sullen. Although his ideas were extreme, he wasn’t foolish enough not to see through these people’s pathetic acting skills.
Besides, it wasn’t exactly about acting skills being good or bad. Those guys were actually not acting at all; they were almost openly expressing their stance.
In the next moment.
A voice filled with anger rang out.
"Fine, fine, fine... you guys really are something!"
"Disgrace of the Civilization Masters, cowards, spineless, with not even a bit of resistance awareness..."
"With you guys, don’t think about getting ahead in life..."
"Just wait... what you dare not do, I will... watch carefully how I fight for the interests of the Civilization Master community..."
With that, he waved and coldly snorted, then angrily left.
In response, those Civilization Masters sneered and mocked.
"Crazy! Just crazy!"
"Hey! Where did this hothead come from, shouting about causing trouble for Lin Ping’an? He must be tired of living!"
"Exactly! Even those Grandmaster Alchemists caved in, what makes him so special! He even willingly goes up to get slapped in the face, absurd!"
"I always thought those brain-dead villains in stories didn’t exist, but never expected to see it today!"
"Laughing to death... art comes from life, but it’s more like novels fail to describe the absurdity of reality."
"Human diversity is always so magical! Although, it’s really strange with that kind of intelligence, how he even became a Star-Entering Civilization Master. It’s truly ridiculous."
"..."
The more they spoke, the more sarcastic the expressions on their faces became.
On the other hand, after that hotheaded Civilization Master left, he began contacting other Civilization Masters to express his thoughts.
Most turned dark instantly and hung up, deciding not to contact him again.
A teammate like him, normally, no one would dare associate with.
Yet surprisingly, this world never lacks oddballs, and even with such a peculiar mindset, he managed to find a group with similar ideas.
On the internet, on various social platforms, the majority of Civilization Masters who once criticized Lin Ping’an vanished without a trace, no longer clinging to the pricing issue.
Almost all deleted their previous statements, pretending that nothing had ever happened.
This abnormal situation also raised discussions and marvel among many.
"Ahahaha... this is killing me with laughter! Not only did the potion big shots cower, but even those Civilization Masters admitted defeat!"
"Oh my! It’s unbelievable! So shocking! Talent Lin is absolutely amazing!"
"Mighty and imposing! Can’t even imagine how he managed to pull this off!"
"Awesome! Such a rare occurrence!"
"From now on, Talent Lin is my lifelong idol!"
"..."
During this period, those peculiar Civilization Masters, however, went against the trend, becoming even more vehement.
Not only did they harp on about merit point pricing relentlessly, but they also criticized Lin Ping’an for being unworthy of obtaining Ninth Level Authority, calling it a huge waste of resources.
Regarding this, Lin Ping’an, either unaware or indifferent, never responded to any of the questions.
Yet countless netizens were infuriated, launching into wild verbal attacks against those oddballs.
"Hmph! Why is it okay for you to set high prices, but not okay for others to set low prices?"
"Bullshit! Just bullshit! These statements are really stinking to the heavens, filled with arrogance and disgust."
"Laughable! Seeing the trash techniques you create, and you’re shameless enough to price them so high? Yellow Level at 188 merit points, Profound Level at 888 merit points, are you ripping off suckers? Who in their right mind can afford these techniques?"
"It’s hilarious! Never thought such a high-class profession like a Civilization Master could include such a dim-witted member."
"Even someone like this can become a Civilization Master, suddenly makes this profession seem less glamorous!"
"If you can, set a lower price, if not, don’t whine! Selling techniques, pricing freely, who are you to control the price of others’ goods, this is absurd! Every kind of person exists, and anything can become a Civilization Master."
"..."
The world bustles about for profit, and the world hustles for profit.
Evidently, one reason these netizens mocked and cursed furiously is that the remarks from these few Civilization Masters touched their interests.
After all, with lowered cultivation technique prices, they could reap benefits, acquiring higher value with fewer merit points.
They didn’t care whether those Civilization Masters had hardships or costs, only concerned with getting a bargain.
However, this is normal, all an understandable mindset!
The desire to get things for free is something everyone has.
Even Lin Ping’an was like this.
Once, he indeed got some academy rewards for free, and although they were useless to him, free stuff just feels especially good to collect.
At this moment.
Within the Great Xia Academy.
Lin Ping’an’s consciousness was immersed in the Creation Space, fully focused on creating new cultivation techniques.
