In Qing Ming City.
In the shop.
Lu Ming watched on as the situation unfolded.
Tsk tsk…
Such popularity…
Should he reward everyone?
For example—
He could post a thread that charged a fee in the forum and put a das.h.i.+ng selfie inside or something. In his impression, someone had done such things before in his past life.
That person earned millions of yuan in one night…
Should he give it a try?
After all, he was so handsome…
However, after contemplating the possibility of being beaten to death, Lu Ming eventually gave up on the idea.
Forget it.
There were too many violent and ill-tempered guys in this world…
He could not afford to offend them.
After pondering, Lu Ming felt that he had better contact Zhang Yang. However, when the line went through, Lu Ming was somewhat dumbfounded by Zhang Yang's situation.
“Lu Min? This… is… Jiang Yang.
Pae attension to sefety. Yurs truy haz been beeten up by semeone!!!
Demn!
Wen I goe beck, I'd definitly chek and fwife out who beet me!”
Bam!
The phone was hung up.
Ring—
Ring—
A beeping tone could be heard.
Lu Ming was dumbstruck for a long time.
c.r.a.p!
What was this guy talking about?
Words?
Wife…
Did he reveal too much information?!
Recalling his incoherent speech, did this guy seduce the wife of a particular leader and get beaten up by him?!
That was possible!
Tsk tsk.
He did not expect Zhang Yang to be such a flirt…
“Senior sister!”
Li Haoran called Xiaobai via the communication device.
“That's me.”
Lu Ming took over the conversation. “Speak.”
“Master,” Li Haoran said in a serious manner.
He hesitated for a long time and eventually decided to reveal this matter. “Zhang Yang has been beaten up.”
“I know.”
Lu Ming's expression was calm.
“You're aware of this?”
Li Haoran instantly felt guilty.
He hesitated for a long time about whether he should reveal this matter. After all, it involved his own buddy… Unexpectedly, his master had long found out about this…
What a shame. What a shame.
“Of course. Who told this guy to seduce other people's wives…
Sigh. “Forget it.”
Lu Ming also sighed. “This is the debt of a Casanova. Let's not talk about it.”
“D-debt of a Casanova?”
Li Haoran was puzzled.
Why was this matter a.s.sociated with Casanova debts?
Wife?
Could it be that…
Li Haoran shuddered.
Zhang Yang had a buddy who was working at the headquarters. In that case…
Terrible thoughts flashed across his mind.
“Don't spread this.”
Lu Ming said in a low voice, “After all, this is his private affair.”
“Understood.”
Li Haoran was certain.
This kind of thing, how would he…
Afterward…
When he turned back…
He saw the teenager in black looking at something excitedly. After turning around and looking at him, his expression changed drastically — “Shocking News! The President Was Beaten Up Because of This!”
“What are you doing?”
Li Haoran had a bewildered expression on his face.
“Earning some pocket money.”
The teenager in black was thrilled. “Yesterday, I received news that they are letting me take on the role of a typist. One hundred yuan for every thousand words. If there is juicy news, I can earn more!
My boss said that if he helps me publish the articles, I can share ten percent of the profit! If I am promoted, I can get twenty percent! I can also recruit subordinates and receive a part of their earnings!
Do you want to do this too?
I can speak to them and let you be at the same rank as me.”
Li Haoran had a dumbstruck expression.
c.r.a.p!
You actually believe such scam messages?!
“Did you give them this address?”
Li Haoran suddenly felt tense.
“I did.”
The teenager in black was thrilled. “I have to provide a detailed address when I register. I even gave the unit number.”
Li Haoran's face turned ghastly pale.
“I have a hunch that we're going to earn a lot of money soon.”
The teenager in black was thrilled. “Let me tell you. My boss is brilliant. According to sources, they picked up the essence of the article about the death of the cultivator with humble origins…
Look at this writing style, these key terms, and the story full of ups and downs…
We'll earn big bucks even if it's just ten percent!”
Li Haoran was silent.
Suddenly…
He had an urge to beat this guy to death.
“What's the matter?”
Lu Ming was listening to the commotion on the other end of the phone curiously.
“Well… Master.”
Li Haoran paused for a moment. “If I have a friend who accidentally published the reason why the president was beaten up, and even left behind his address. What should we do now?”
Lu Ming was silent for a long time. He then sighed. “Flee!”
“Thank you, master.”
Li Haoran felt sorrowful.
Hence…
On the day itself.
He hurried back to Chong Yang City with the teenager in black.
“Sigh, I have not collected my money.”
“Shut up!”
“Really, it's such juicy news. He said there'll be eight hundred yuan…”
“Shut up!”
“We can buy a few meals with it.”
“Shut up!”
At this very moment…
In the hospital.
After treatment, Zhang Yang was recovering rapidly. His body was much better now. At the very least, he no longer faced problems with his speech.
Snort!
Zhang Yang gritted his teeth.
Did they really think that he was an easy target?!
What was wrong with Card Creators?
He was a dignified a.s.sociation president, didn't he have any friends? Haha. It's time for you guys to witness the prowess and authority of someone who has been a president for more than ten years!
Hence…
He called his best friend immediately.
“Brother w.a.n.g,” Zhang Yang said in a low voice.
The other party was extremely frantic. “D-don't be so polite. I'm not your elder brother. You're my elder brother.”
“Brother w.a.n.g, what's wrong with you?”
Zhang Yang broke out in a sweat.
“There's no problem. Just don't call me brother.” The voice at the other end of the phone sounded somewhat frantic.
Zhang Yang was silent.
Was he afraid that he would borrow money from him so he deliberately distanced himself?
“Brother w.a.n.g. You're too much.”
Zhang Yang was furious. “Have you forgotten that, when you couldn't make it back in time from overseas when your wife was injured, I was the one who brought her to the hospital?!”
The other party was completely frantic. “Don't tell me… since then…”
“Hurry.”
“Where are we going?”
“Home!”
“We're on a plane…”
“Jump out. Cut the c.r.a.p. I want to go home now!”
“Huh?”
Cras.h.!.+
Cras.h.!.+
Loud sounds could be heard.
The call was hung up.
Zhang Yang was dumbstruck. What was happening?
Immediately afterward.
He made a few phone calls.
As soon as he addressed them as ‘Brother Liu', ‘Brother Zhang' or ‘Brother Li', the other side of the phone would simply hang up, saying that they wanted to settle some family matters. As a result, Zhang Yang could not come to his senses for a long time.
After a long while…
He understood now.
Hehe.
What friends of a few decades! Normally, they requested him to create cards for them. At critical moments like this, each of them pretended that they had something. Hahahaha…
Forget it.
He would not look for them anymore. What was the point?
Zhang Yang pondered deeply for a moment. He simply called his own cousin. Blood is thicker than water. At such times, family was most reliable.
Hence…
Zhang Yang called him.
Cras.h.!.+
Cras.h.!.+
Arguments could be heard from the other side of the phone.
“Iron Head Zhang, what do you mean?!”
“I'm asking you what you mean? Previously, you said that you had something to do and went to Qing Ming City to look for Zhang Yang. You were panting and telling me that you were exercising. I believed you! In the end?!”
“I was really cultivating at that time!”
“Who the h.e.l.l will believe it?!”
The furious voice immediately grew louder, seemingly shouting at the communication device, “Zhang Yang, wait and see. After I settle my family matters, I'll go to Qing Ming City to deal with you…”
Bam!
The phone was hung up.
Zhang Yang was in a daze. What happened?
In the hospital.
Zhang Yang was lying in his hospital bed.
White room, white bedding, white ceiling… Suddenly, he felt that he did not have many real friends in his life…
Sigh.
At this very moment…
At the headquarters of the Card Creators a.s.sociation.
A vice president was rubbing his head in pain. He had come out of seclusion abruptly. He had just made slight progress in his cultivation and felt somewhat disorientated.
In his impression…
The last time he felt this way was because of the “Leviathan” Card…
His Summoner friend dragged him to look at the structure of the Leviathan Card… What happened again this time?
Afterward, his face instantly darkened when he picked up and read the report.
Lu Ming…
What a familiar name!
New card…
Blasting the Energy Warrior's a.s.sholes…
Ss——
His b.u.t.tock turned cold at the thought of it.
The Summoner industry was a niche one and there was almost an uproar. You're targeting Energy Warriors this time?
Was he mad?!
However…
If there was truly such a card…
After pondering, he was actually tempted.
Lu Ming this child… Was he talented to this extent?
Energy Warriors had existed for many years and they were growing and developing tremendously. They were becoming more and more perfect, and he had never heard of a card that specially targeted Energy Warriors…
Perhaps…
He had discovered weaknesses in the vocation?!
“Contact him! Don't let anything happen to Lu Ming.”
“Understood!”
“Notify the president of Qing Ming City Card Creators a.s.sociation. Prepare to receive him well.”
“Er…”
“What's the matter?”
“It seems that due to personal moral issues, that president was met with some setbacks. I'm afraid he can't come now.”
“Personal moral issues?”
“Uh, yes, I heard that he had an affair with his sister-in-law. But because he doesn't have a biological brother, all of those whom he addressed as brother are panicking…”
“Nonsense! Which Card Creator?! Deal with him!”
“Zhang Yang…”
“Zhang Yang?”
“Yes.”
“… The one who came here three years ago?”
“Yes. Eh, how did you know?”
The vice president was silent.
Vaguely.
Seemingly, a guy called Zhang Yang came here to solicit investments for Qing Ming City. He especially paid him a visit at his home.
At that time, he had just taken on the role of the vice president. In order to express his amiability, he even invited Zhang Yang over for a meal…
Wait a minute.
At that time, Zhang Yang seemed to have said that ‘Sister-in-law was really pretty'?
The vice president's heart jumped a beat.
Although he politely invited Zhang Yang to visit him again. Of course, Zhang Yang dared not do so. They had not seen each other since then. However, come to think of it…
Could he have gone to his house when he was not at home?!
c.r.a.p!
“Vice president?”
The a.s.sistant looked puzzled.
“It's alright.
Make the arrangements first. I-I'll go and settle some family matters.”
“Huh?”
At this very moment…
In the shop.
Lu Ming was perplexed at the news in the forum.
The discussions about the death of the cultivator with humble origins had not died down, and President Zhang Yang's love affairs actually appeared in the forums. Furthermore, there were already a lot of smoking guns!
“Qing Ming Brother and Sister-in-law Love Affair, Revealing the Three Days and Two Nights that I Was With Zhang Yang”
This was written by a woman. Juicy, hot and powerful throughout.
“If I Don't Kill Zhang Yang in This Lifetime, I Swear That I'm Not a Man!”
This was an article on revenge. It described the story of a certain bitter man who was a victim of Zhang Yang. He swore that he would take revenge for himself.
Similar articles flooded the websites beginning with ‘S'.
Everyone was extremely shocked.
“Amazing!”
Lu Ming exclaimed in amazement.
Old Zhang was really good!
He had thought that this was reported by the teenager in black. Unexpectedly, Old Zhang had such extensive coverage. Over ten bitter victims had already appeared…
Wait a minute.
At this moment, shouldn't everyone be discussing the death of the cultivator with humble origins?!
Seriously…
Never did Lu Ming expect that, when he was still having a headache about how to deal with the craze, the popularity had decreased in such a way…
What did this mean?
Was this redemption from Zhang Yang?
Well…
The death of a cultivator with humble origins was written by Zhang Yang.
Tsk tsk…
Retribution.
Lu Ming heaved continuous sighs.
Look, who told you to write articles to do people in? You've done yourself in this time!
However…
Although the craze had died down a little, Lu Ming was very sure that some things would eventually happen. The Stealing Card had already been exposed and he had no alternative now!
Would the Card Creators a.s.sociation let this card go?!
The Energy Warriors would not let his card go!
This card…
From its birth, it would garner the attention of everyone!
The only thing that Lu Ming could do was to choose a suitable place for it!
