I, Gu Mingchao, Will Take Action!

This is absolutely the fastest settlement ever in the history of the Misfortune Compass!

The announcement was only released for half a day, and the Misfortune Compass already settled the accounts...

To put it bluntly, if this Misfortune Compass hadn't proactively reminded Chu Xinghe Chu Xinghe, he doubted he would have even sensed the Spirit Power rewards he received during the calculations...

But there was nothing he could do... Chu Xinghe realized that he hadn't lost to the Misfortune Compass, he had lost to the hearts of men!

In this round, faced with the choice between being greedy and not being greedy Chu Xinghe declared that he chose neither greed nor greed!

When Chu Xinghe saw the big spenders topping up their accounts, his first thought was not to be greedy!

Let's stop here and see what happens. Let's quickly stop the big shot, and we'll accept a small loss!

Faced with the frenzy of recharging from all sides, Chu Xinghe chose not to be greedy. After all, if Chu Xinghe had really issued an announcement that recharging could indeed make one stronger, then everyone's recharge amount would not be as simple as one or two yuan.

However, Chu Xinghe was worried that greed would lead to trouble, so he chose to stop him at the right time.

But as it turns out, this time he was greedy when he should have been, and greedy when he shouldn't have been.

If this person were to be a little greedy and frantically entice all the big shots and various Rogue Cultivators from the Four Continents to recharge their accounts...

So you can imagine, when everyone finally realizes what's happening, they'll probably be tearing me Chu Xinghe Chenghai!

If the amounts involved in everyone's recharges are large enough, then when refunds are offered, it's highly unlikely that no one will choose not to request a refund...

So Chu Xinghe thought to himself, "This guy... he'll still be greedy when the time is right..."

My mistake, Chu Xinghe, was not being greedy when I should have been...

After all, ordinary Rogue Cultivators don't spend much money on in-game purchases. Faced with the choice between being ridiculed for being a fool and denying that they had made any purchases, they didn't hesitate to lie!

The amounts recharged by these big spenders were still within their budget, so they unhesitatingly chose face over money...

And what's even more outrageous is that now, with the announcement out, everyone is saying that Vast Heaven Holy Land is incredibly benevolent, and fearing we've been scammed, they're willing to refund us...

But Vast Heaven Holy Land has overthought things. Who are we...? How could we be so easily fooled?

Refund? Who does Vast Heaven Holy Land think it is...? We have absolutely not been scammed!

Supreme; ask again and it will all be the same!

Good heavens! After everyone spoke, the Grand Elder declared that he understood!

Everything is connected!

Seeing Xinghe's abrupt demand for a refund, all the elders were completely bewildered. Why did he want a refund?

But now everyone understands... Xinghe had anticipated people's hearts in advance...

Xinghe's grasp of human nature has reached its pinnacle!

Xinghe knew that even if the Vast Heaven Holy Land released the news of a refund, no one would actually ask for a refund for such a small amount of resources...

That's just too embarrassing...

However, Vast Heaven Holy Land did indeed offer a refund, which means that Xinghe has inadvertently helped Vast Heaven Holy Land reap another wave of fame!

Although everyone was cheated out of a spirit stone, which isn't much, everyone still feels a bit resentful, right?

However, now that Vast Heaven Holy Land has suddenly opened up refunds, it's as if they've resolved everyone's grievances.

Everyone wants to save face in life.

Because of their pride, they won't admit it even if they've been deceived!

Similarly, when you see Vast Heaven Holy Land's refund announcement, just say whether Vast Heaven Holy Land is benevolent or not!

Has Vast Heaven Holy Land given everyone enough face...? You can leave anytime you want.

In this situation, even if you get the Xinghe Haters' Group to admit that the mastermind behind it all is Vast Heaven Holy Land or Chu Xinghe, there's no way they can say for sure!

What? Are you blind? The refund notice from Vast Heaven Holy Land is practically shoved in your face!

Has anyone ever seen a scammer intentionally activate this?

Therefore, the problem behind this definitely can't be the Vast Heaven Holy Land; the problem lies with those who post random things!

But those kinds of posts... it seems... I posted them myself too...

So if we really think about it, it seems like I also have a problem, while the Vast Heaven Holy Land doesn't have any problems at all...

So almost everyone topped up their accounts... but almost everyone also made peace with themselves...

Of course... Erlüzi refunded the money...

After all, the Duped Erlüzi is now famous Four Continents; he can't refuse to refund the money even if he wants to...

People from the Vast Heaven Holy Land came to his door and delivered the spirit stone he had recharged.

Regarding this result, Bai Yu said, "Well... Erlüzi..."

We don't know how Erlüzi avoided the limelight, but at this moment Lu Chengqing realized that he was still too naive to play mind games with Senior Brother Xinghe.

Lu Chengqing said that Senior Brother Xinghe has reached a state of near invincibility in manipulating people's hearts.

It was clearly Senior Brother Xinghe who orchestrated all of this, even pushing it wave after wave, yet in the end, the entire Four Continents remained calm!

Lu Chengqing knew that throwing a stone into the water and creating ripples was not a difficult task.

Given Lu Chengqing's current status, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to throw a stone and stir up a huge wave across the Four Continents.

But to throw a huge rock into the water and keep the lake calm without creating huge waves, I'm afraid only Senior Brother Xinghe in the entire Four Continents can do that!

Look at the Haotian Mirror, it's full of gods fighting every day!

Countless geniuses are born, and in order to create momentum for themselves, they all create various topics and try to get themselves on the top of the trending searches on Haotian Mirror!

It's no exaggeration to say that even if you're a Wuming nobody, if you can stay on the trending topics list for Haotian Mirror for a whole month, you'll definitely be famous Four Continents.

Fame and fortune are inextricably linked.

To make a profit, you first need to become famous!

Therefore, Lu Chengqing could see countless geniuses, Lineage, and forces every day in the Haotian Mirror. In order to make his disciples famous quickly, they really went to great lengths to create topics and make his disciples trend on social media!

Even privately, many people approached Lu Chengqing, saying, "President Lu... we heard you were recently punished by Chu Xinghe, and all your resources have been cut off. You must be short of money..."

So, you can do a little behind-the-scenes maneuvering for us to get our people trending on social media, and you can name your price!

For people like this, Lu Chengqing simply told them to get out of Haotian Tower...

First, Lu Chengqing stated that he had no resentment about being punished last time, and that Senior Brother Xinghe's punishment was already more than fair.

If anyone else had punished us, do you think the Haotian Mirror would still be in my hands, Lu Chengqing's?

And I, Lu Chengqing, am short of money... Do you even know how to write the word "short of money"?

Do you even know how much resources I had in the past?

Even if I have no resources left, just a tiny bit of what I have is enough to buy the lives of your whole family!

As for underhanded dealings, Lu Chengqing said that if he weren't an idiot, he would never even consider it!

What? Have I, Lu Chengqing, gone mad?

I am now the manager of Haotian Tower in Vast Heaven Holy Land. I wield the Haotian Mirror and control the entire entertainment industry across the Four Continents!

I am Lu Chengqing, the King of Entertainment!

Why would I give up my ready-made title of entertainment king to earn your meager resources?

Are you trying to insult me, Lu Chengqing?

In this very era where everyone wanted to be the one to throw a stone and create ripples on the lake, Lu Chengqing witnessed firsthand how Senior Brother Xinghe truly used minimal force to deflect immense force!

A massive boulder, large enough to create huge waves, was thrown into the lake, yet the entire lake remained completely still!

Senior Brother Xinghe was clearly the mastermind behind everything, yet he managed to remain hidden in the shadows. Even though everyone knew he was the Senior Brother Xinghe, they still kept Senior Brother Xinghe in the dark.

Lu Chengqing had no idea what height this was!

But Lu Chengqing knew that this level of understanding was beyond his comprehension.

All the rest of you are thinking about how to trend on social media, how to become the center of attention, even if it's just being infamous...

Senior Brother Xinghe was clearly the biggest focus, yet he didn't cause any ripples at all, and even managed to make a fortune. This move wasn't just a matter of who was better; it was simply unbelievable!

Chu Xinghe didn't know what Lu Chengqing meant by "inconceivable".

But what Chu Xinghe knew was that this round was truly unbelievable...

I, Chu Xinghe, made every single right move, but every single one of them ended up being wrong...

We're saying this is all reasonable, isn't it?

Tell me, what the hell can I do in this situation besides stay calm?!

However, Chu Xinghe said, "Everyone, stay calm... You think I Chu Xinghe, have lost?"

No...

I, Chu Xinghe, did not lose this round!

Never mind everything else, just tell me whether the Misfortune Compass gave me any upgrades!

I, Chu Xinghe, have already improved, so why should I be considered the loser?

So it's just a draw...

Look at my Misfortune Compass, Chu Xinghe, still spinning erratically!

Right now, I, Chu Xinghe, am in a much better position...

Look at this! The resources consumed by four thousand newly recruited disciples fighting bloody battles for me Chu Xinghe, in the Formation Spirit Palace —this is a steady consumption, isn't it?

And the Dead Spirit Realm is constantly consuming resources; that must be a steady drain on resources, right?

Moreover, the news that Haotian Mountain Range has opened up the free-to-play system, allowing all Rogue Cultivators to participate for free, has already spread like wildfire across the Four Continents, and a large wave of free-to-play players is already on their way to the Haotian Mountain Range.

The Spiritual Qi energy consumption of the Haotian Mountain Range is increasing wildly. Under these circumstances, my Misfortune Compass is spinning wildly!

So in this situation, can you say that Lao Tzu isn't a genius?

That little Misfortune Compass was utterly crushed by me.

So what is the defeat at the small Martial Emperor City? It's just a little bit of training on my road to success, Chu Xinghe!

So everyone, you can all laugh this round! We still have the advantage, so stay calm!

Whether Chu Xinghe can hold on is unknown, but Gu Mingchao, the Holy Lord of Vast Heaven Holy Land, the Human Race Emperor, and the twelve-year-old Sword Tomb Enlightenment Master who somehow lost, is really starting to lose his composure this time!

Although my recharge ranking was below Cheng Xiaotian Gu Mingchao's, I was still at least ranked near the top, at 325,671st on the recharge leaderboard!

But now I, Gu Mingchao, have fallen to 14,698,716th place... My ranking on the Haotian Mirror recharge leaderboard is at best upper-middle...

My Gu Mingchao is so difficult...

No! I, Gu Mingchao, must take action!
