Overt Sucking Up Is Easy to Dodge, but Sneaky Sucking Up Is Hard to Guard Against!
Across the Four Continents, forces are now intertwined, and apart from the Vast Heaven Holy Land, the strength of each faction is difficult to fully assess.
However, there is one thing that everyone in the Four Continents has to admit is that the Demonic Sect is absolutely in a class of its own!
That's the number of disciples!
Demon Demon Express, Demon Demon Food Delivery, Demon Demon Credit... and many other Momo services can be said to span across Four Continents.
Demon Demon Express claims that as long as there is a location in Four Continents, Demon Demon Express can definitely deliver there!
The number of deliverymen in the Demonic Sect is now astronomical!
Wherever there are people, there will be Demonic Sect Gate couriers—this is no empty slogan!
Putting everything else aside, the Demonic Sect has an absolute monopoly in the logistics industry; even the Vast Heaven Holy Land uses Devil Devil Logistics!
So at this moment, Yuan Ying is saying to Tantai Jing, you're too caught up in the situation to see things clearly!
You're only thinking about queuing up; you haven't considered that this lottery actually gives us, the Demonic Sect, a greater advantage!
Regardless of the lottery method, given our large population base, shouldn't our chances of winning be far greater than others?
Since the Vast Heaven Holy Land didn't explicitly forbid giving away winning lots, and given that all members of our Demonic Sect participated in the lottery, can we simply sell our winning lots to others?
We can not only sell our own, we can even buy other people's signatures and then sell them to people who can afford the price!
If we calculate it that way, wouldn't we earn even more than Momo Queueing Service?
It has to be said that the Vice Sect Master's words at this moment were Tantai Jing!
Tantai Jing looked at the Vice Sect Master with an expression of admiration, saying that the Vice Sect Master was truly talented!
Needless to say, Tantai Jing immediately arranged for all the disciples of the Demonic Sect to participate in the lottery. When the results of the first round of the lottery came out, good heavens Tantai Jing laughed so hard he peed himself!
Of the 35,000 slots available, the Demonic Sect, including those they won themselves and those they acquired, directly obtained nearly 2,000 slots!
With these two thousand slots in hand, Tantai Jing contacted countless promising young talents who needed them that very day!
"Friend... although this Inheritance Spirit Orb allows for multiple entries for comprehension, have you ever considered that those who enter earlier might have a greater chance of achieving comprehension?"
Even if the opportunity to comprehend the skill is the same, if you go in first and complete the comprehension first, wouldn't it be possible to increase your combat power first?
"If you improve your combat power first, can you go to stronger secret realms and obtain more resources?"
As the saying goes, "A step ahead leads to another step ahead, and a step behind leads to another step behind!"
"You won't lose out by buying from our Demonic Sect. This spot is priced this way today, but it might be priced differently tomorrow... If you lose today's spot and try to draw it yourself, how long will it take to get your chance?"
"By the time you withdraw your qualification, the people who bought it will be a rank higher than you... You have more talent than others, but lower cultivation. Won't you be angry then?"
It must be said that Tantai Jing's sales staff were absolutely flawless in terms of sales performance.
Tantai Jing sold the spots in the Spirit Realm for an astronomical price in a very short time!
Regardless of whether Tantai Jing's other words are problematic, his "step ahead, always ahead" approach is absolutely flawless.
Tantai Jing made a fortune from those two thousand spots!
However, while making a fortune, Tantai Jing did not send all the resources into the Demonic Sect's treasury.
Tantai Jing said, "Friends, the situation is very different now than it was in the past!"
Currently, our Demonic Sect and the Vast Heaven Holy Land are in a cooperative relationship... Look, after I, Tantai Jing, sent various rare pill formulas to the Vast Heaven Holy Land last time, although Chu Xinghe didn't say a word, Shen Chun, Feng Fei, and others all offered various cooperative projects to cooperate with me, Tantai Jing, after learning about it!
Tantai Jing stated that what is the most taboo thing to do when collaborating with others?
That's eating alone!
What is cooperation?
Mutual benefit is the essence of cooperation. If I benefit, I must also ensure that my partners benefit. Only in this way can cooperation last.
If I'm always the one benefiting, will the Vast Heaven Holy Land continue to cooperate with me?
Having understood the best way to cooperate, Tantai Jing said, "The person who came... after deducting our own costs, should send half of all the resources we earn from selling slots to Vast Heaven Holy Land!"
Watching his subordinates begin gathering resources, Tantai Jing said, "Wait a minute!"
Tantai Jing considered it for a moment, then realized something was amiss!
If I were to send the resources I obtained by selling slots to the Vast Heaven Holy Land as a form of profit for them, would the Vast Heaven Holy Land accept them?
Soon, Tantai Jing realized that not only could he not accept the Vast Heaven Holy Land, but he would also be Tantai Jing for it.
The reason is simple: my Tantai Jing's side, is the Demonic Sect...
We may be shameless, but the Vast Heaven Holy Land certainly has a sense of shame!
Our Demonic Sect makes a fortune by scalping and reselling goods. Even if other parties know how shamelessly we make money, they'll only curse us a few times and that's it.
After all, this is what our Demonic Sect does, so we don't care if people outside criticize us, right?
But the situation is different with the Vast Heaven Holy Land. If the Vast Heaven Holy Land accepts this batch of resources from me, what will the outside world say about Vast Heaven Holy Land?
Are Vast Heaven Holy Land and the Demonic Sect acting as scalpers together?
It would be a miracle if the Vast Heaven Holy Land could even accept that!
Therefore, Tantai Jing said that gift-giving is sometimes a profound art.
Why is it that some people can't seem to give gifts properly, even when they want to?
That's because you're giving gifts the wrong way!
Tantai Jing stated that he has experience in this area...
Therefore, Tantai Jing immediately dumped all the resources at the entrance of Vast Heaven Holy Land, and then left that sentence in the same way that the former deputy sect leader left a message!
Looking at the stunned Vice Sect Master, Tantai Jing said, "Vice Sect Master, how about this? Tell me if my Tantai Jing was steady or not!"
If I, Tantai Jing, were to directly send resources to the Vast Heaven Holy Land, people would say that the Vast Heaven Holy Land and I, Tantai Jing, are acting as scalpers. But I'm going to bring out the Vice Sect Master directly!
Vice Sect Master, you're Chu Xinghe's number one sycophant!
Even if you insist on flattering the vice sect leader, who can say anything?
After all, Vice Sect Master, you have extensive experience as a professional sycophant!
You've done this before, so even if you lick it hard, who can say anything?
At this moment, Tantai Jing thought to himself, "Vice Sect Leader, tell me, wasn't my Tantai Jing brilliant?"
Hey, hey, hey... Vice Sect Leader, don't go! What are you doing, Vice Sect Leader? What do you mean by pulling out a knife? Hey, Vice Sect Leader... don't bring the knife to your face!
Vice Sect Leader, why are you carving words again?
Unsurprisingly, Yuan Ying's face once again bore the mark of injustice!
Yuan Ying said, "I even carve words on my own face... I'd like to Tantai Jing!"
Tantai Jing, do you have any shame?
With all these tactics you've employed, you really don't consider me Yuan Ying, to be human...
But the worst part is, I was the one who started this... Tell me, isn't this a complete injustice to me, Yuan Ying?
Therefore, although the resources in front of the Vast Heaven Holy Land were not delivered by the Yuan Ying, they were indirectly delivered by him.
While Yuan Ying didn't directly lick, Yuan Ying was very skilled at doing so indirectly!
Tantai Jing also achieved his goal. Although Vast Heaven Holy Land didn't understand why Yuan Ying was so eager to please, it didn't matter. After all, Yuan Ying was an old sycophant of our Xinghe!
We have to accept the resources offered by this sycophant; otherwise, wouldn't that be hurting the feelings of someone like Yuan Ying?
Therefore, with a single order from the Grand Elder, all the resources were taken away.
And Tantai Jing's handling of the situation was truly flawless. Despite the large amount of resources being sent to Vast Heaven Holy Land, no one connected this incident with Tantai Jing's actions.
After all, Yuan Ying has a well-known reputation...
As the saying goes, it's easy to avoid open flattery, but hard to guard against covert flattery!
This wasn't the first or second time that Yuan Ying had suddenly shown his affections, so even though the whole of the Four Continents was talking about it, no one bothered to connect it to anything else.
Let alone outsiders, even Chu Xinghe himself couldn't understand why!
Because this is a matter of preconceived notions. When you preconceivedly attribute everything to Yuan Ying, even if Tantai Jing's side is very obvious, you will hardly notice it!
However, what Tantai Jing did couldn't be kept secret in Four Continents. Goodness, the news that Tantai Jing was scalping and selling spots had made many people unhappy!
Everyone else has to wait an unknown amount of time just to get a chance to participate in the lottery.
Is Tantai Jing starting to sell in bulk now?
Therefore, people from many different factions flocked to the Vast Heaven Holy Land in a short period of time.
"Elder, if this matter is not eradicated, the Demonic Sect might start manipulating more and more quotas in the future. Wouldn't that create chaos?"
"That's right... Elder, the Demonic Sect has a large number of disciples. They're using this method to select them, and they're even collecting places on the black market. Isn't this disrupting the normal order?"
"Yes, Elder, in my opinion Tantai Jing's side!"
"That's right... blacklist Tantai Jing!"
Looking at this group of people, the Grand Elder fell silent.
It's important to know that there aren't any major sects here today; they're mostly small to medium-sized sects!
They were either too few in number to get a spot, or they didn't have the money to buy a spot from Tantai Jing!
So they don't care about that in this situation!
Why is it that your Demonic Sect is making a killing? Why can't we?
Sometimes seeing others make money is even more painful than seeing yourself lose money!
Looking at the group of people from all sides, the Grand Elder pondered for a moment before speaking, "Although Tantai Jing's method is somewhat unscrupulous, it is still within the rules. There's no need to mention the banning of him again!"
The Grand Elder was definitely not speaking in favor of Tantai Jing this time!
First of all, the Demonic Sect has more disciples and more slots available, so what's wrong with that? From this perspective, Tantai Jing is not at fault.
However, the Grand Elder also thought about it. Although Tantai Jing's approach seemed reasonable, it went against his original intentions!
The purpose of setting up this lottery system was to shake up the Evil Spirits of the Evil Shadow Continent them to leave. However, with Tantai Jing's actions, even Evil Spirits could buy a spot, so the number of Evil Spirits that could leave was naturally greatly reduced.
So, after much deliberation, the Grand Elder instructed Shen Chun to issue another announcement. This time, it was still about the lottery, but this time, a sentence was added to the announcement...
The spots awarded through the lottery can only be transferred between members of the same sect!
