A Crushing Loss, No Matter How You Look at It...
It must be said that Chu Xinghe's ticket-selling plan had huge flaws.
It seems to be helping smaller factions and Rogue Person.
However, if someone impersonates a casual Rogue Person and buys a large number of tickets issued by the Vast Heaven Sect, then theoretically, they can definitely make a killing off the Vast Heaven Sect.
Think about it... For example, if the normal ticket price is ten yuan, but Vast Heaven Sect sells it for twenty yuan, and you buy it for twenty yuan, then once the ticket price becomes one hundred yuan after the event starts, you've essentially spent twenty yuan to get one hundred yuan from the Vast Heaven Sect —a huge profit of eighty yuan!
Even if the ticket price doesn't actually become one hundred, you can still get a refund from the Vast Heaven Sect, so you won't lose out at all...
So this seems like a sure-fire way to make a fortune.
If any other force were to do this, Tantai Jing would definitely consider it a pig butchering scam!
Such an obvious loophole, such a blatant opportunity to make a killing—what else could it be but a pig butchering scam?
But when the scheme was launched by the Vast Heaven Sect, Tantai Jing knew that with the Vast Heaven Sect's financial and material resources, it was absolutely impossible for them to run a "pig butchering scam".
The problem is, all of this was caused by Chu Xinghe.
Others may not know Chu Xinghe's methods, but don't we, the Demonic Sect, know them all too well?
Trying to fleece Chu Xinghe? How many times have we done that before? And what was the result? We almost wiped out the Demonic Sect...
Because you have no idea what bizarre methods Chu Xinghe will use to kill you!
So, Demonic Sect having a few days of good food... and finally having some resources... can we just Watch Quietly as Things Change?
People say you should pick on the softest persimmon... But Chu Xinghe isn't a persimmon, he's a lump of iron... Why do we have to pick on a lump of iron?
Our Demonic Sect got into that mess because we attacked too frequently... Now that Demonic Sect have finally stabilized, can't we just behave ourselves for once?
It must be said that Tantai Jing has the right to speak on the matter of resources... After all, almost all of the Demonic Sect's resources were obtained through Tantai Jing's methods.
Therefore, faced with Tantai Jing's decision to Watch Quietly as Things Change... Yuan Ying and Wu Xingyun both remained silent...
The two of you thought about it... we acted a bit too frequently before... how about this time... we Watch Quietly as Things Change?
In the end, it was Tantai Jing persuaded the two, and Wu Xingyun and Yuan Ying decided to Watch Quietly as Things Change.
However, although the Demonic Sect Watch Quietly as Things Change the situation, Tantai Jing did not do nothing.
That day, Tantai Jing led countless Demonic Sects to the Vast Heaven Sect.
When Little Bear King saw Tantai Jing, who had suddenly appeared at the Vast Heaven Sect with a large number of the Demonic Sect without saying a word... he was completely dumbfounded!
Little Bear King thinks... Tantai... are you guys asking for a total wipeout?
While Little Bear King was still in a daze, Tantai Jing, without a word, led a large group of Demonic Sects to register at the entrance of the Vast Heaven Sect... and then, following the rules of the Vast Heaven Sect, led a group of Demonic Sects to openly enter the Vast Heaven Sect...
The fact that Tantai Jing and the Demonic Sect registered to join the Vast Heaven Sect without a second thought... left everyone bewildered...
Everyone thought Tantai Jing came here asking for a total wipeout... but what did you guys do?
The problem is, the Demonic Sect hasn't committed any evil deeds in a long time. You're facing a group of the Demonic Sect members who only want to do business and not cause trouble... Surely the Vast Heaven Sect can't really do anything about it?
Just when everyone was wondering what the Demonic Sect was up to, Tantai Jing suddenly announced that he wanted to buy tickets... and even produced countless resources on the spot.
Ma Liang Liangren, previously known as the king of ticket sales, was dumbfounded by Tantai Jing's request.
Tantai Jing, do you have any shame? Our Vast Heaven Sect is helping smaller factions and Rogue Person this time... Are your Demonic Sect even considered a small faction? Or Rogue Person?
Before Ma Liang could say anything, Tantai Jing burst into tears, saying, "Ma Liang, what the hell are you talking to me about?"
Are you saying our Demonic Sect isn't a small force? Look at what we were like before! Don't you, the Vast Heaven Sect, know how poor we were?
How poor are we in the Demonic Sect? We can't even be considered a small force anymore... we're practically a tiny force, okay?
We were almost wiped out... so why can't our Demonic Sect buy tickets? Our Demonic Sect needs protection too, okay?
Ma Liang always thought he was shameless enough... until Ma Liang met Tantai Jing, Ma Liang realized that there was still a huge gap between him and Tantai Jing when it came to shamelessness.
Look at Tantai Jing's shameless behavior... Can you connect the current Tantai Jing with the Tantai Jing stirred up trouble in the Spirit Beast Continent?
What made Tantai Jing so shameless as to dare bring a group of Demonic Sects to our Vast Heaven Sect to buy tickets?
You call yourselves a tiny force? Have you no shame?
Faced with the shameless Tantai Jing, Ma Liang ultimately didn't know what to do...
After all, ever since the Vast Heaven Sect started selling tickets, countless small forces and Rogue Person have entered the Vast Heaven Sect to buy qualifications. Although there were some who took advantage of the situation, their numbers were extremely small and harmless, and Ma Liang was too lazy to bother with them. But now that the Demonic Sect wants to buy a massive number of tickets as a small force without warning, Ma Liang dares not make the decision.
Ma Liang immediately informed Senior Brother Xinghe, that Tantai Jing had come to buy tickets.
Upon hearing that Tantai Jing had come, Chu Xinghe was so excited that tears streamed down his face!
Brother Tantai! I've finally waited for you!
Everyone in the world knows there's a loophole in the ticket sales, and of course I, Chu Xinghe, know it too... But what I, Chu Xinghe, left wasn't a loophole; it was an opportunity for your Demonic Sect to fleece you!
Now that Brother Tantai has brought so many Demonic Sect to fleece us... I, Chu Xinghe, am even tempted to kowtow to you all!
Chu Xinghe met with Tantai Jing on the spot and shook hands with Tantai Jing with teary eyes... Looking at that scene, you might even think it was a reunion of old friends!
"Brother Tantai is right, the Demonic Sect is definitely a small force! Ma Liang! Quickly process Brother Tantai's request... Come, come... Brother Tantai, tell us how many tickets you need... Name your price, and we'll sell them all to you!"
Chu Xinghe personally served tea to Tantai Jing!
You'd better put on a good show with this Tantai Fu Jiang... This is a freebie opportunity that I, Chu Xinghe, am giving you guys... Don't let me down!
Faced with the enthusiastic Chu Xinghe, Tantai Jing broke out in a cold sweat!
Tantai Jing said he guessed correctly!
Xinghe, you scoundrel, you've been exposed!
Look at how enthusiastic you are... you definitely have a backup plan!
Even our Vice Sect Master, with his limited intelligence, could see the flaws in this scheme. How could Chu Xinghe not know?
And look at Chu Xinghe now, he seems more excited the more he buys... This is obviously a trap!
You still want to fool me Tantai Jing! I've seen through you, you treacherous Xinghe!
Faced with the enthusiastic Chu Xinghe, Tantai Jing stated directly that their Demonic Sect only buys tickets for its own disciples, and they wouldn't buy a single extra ticket!
Chu Xinghe: "???"
No way... Tantai Jing, are you fucking crazy?
Can't you see this is an opportunity to get a good deal?
Why aren't you going all in on this opportunity? You're telling me tickets are only for disciples of the Demonic Sect?
Tantai Jing, aren't you supposed to be a radical? Even I, Chu Xinghe, a conservative, think you're far too conservative!
What followed Ma Liang completely bewildered... Senior Brother Xinghe used a variety of methods—indirectly, veiledly, indirectly, subtly, with double meanings, flirtatious glances, and implied messages—to subtly remind Tantai Jing about the opportunity to profit from the situation...
Tantai Jing, however, used various excuses such as "I cannot comply," "I refuse," "I am ashamed to accept," "I firmly refuse," and "I keep my distance" to politely decline all of Chu Xinghe's suggestions.
Ma Liang was completely dumbfounded... Was this really the Tantai Jing he knew?
And what's with you doing this out of the blue, Senior Brother Xinghe? Can anyone explain this to me...? My head Ma Liang a complete mess...
No matter what Chu Xinghe said... Tantai Jing only said one thing: we only buy tickets for the disciples of the Demonic Sect... we won't buy a single extra one!
In the end, just as he had said, Tantai Jing spent a great deal of resources to buy tickets for all the disciples of the Demonic Sect, but Tantai Jing really didn't buy a single extra one...
Watching Vast Heaven Sect Tantai Jing with a resolute expression... Chu Xinghe sat there, his mind a jumble of Ma Liang...
Can anyone tell me... exactly how much of Tantai Jing did he drink?
When I, Chu Xinghe, first came up with this plan... I was just waiting for you guys to fleece me...
But look at Tantai Jing... he clearly knew about the loophole... Is it a distortion of human nature or a decline in morality that made you resolutely refuse to use it despite knowing about the loophole?
Aren't the resources of our Vast Heaven Sect good enough? This time, I, Chu Xinghe, am going for a no-nonsense approach... I'm going for a genuine, blood-losing strategy!
The problem is, once the plan to sell tickets was announced, it did cause a sensation across the Three Continents, and countless small forces Rogue Person came to the Vast Heaven Sect to buy tickets. The Vast Heaven Sect went crazy selling them...
But why haven't any of the major powers made a move?
Can't you see the flaws in my plan?
Aren't you going to take advantage of this opportunity?
It's one thing for the major powers to remain inactive... but what's with your Demonic Sect also staying silent?
Chu Xinghe looked completely bewildered... Ma Liang was even more confused...
Although Senior Brother Xinghe's motives, Ma Liang still pointed out that Senior Brother Xinghe's ticketing plan seemed to have a loophole. Several people had been secretly buying tickets repeatedly in the past few days. How should they deal with these people? There are bad guys among the various factions!
Upon hearing Ma Liang's words, Chu Xinghe immediately became anxious!
What do you mean there are bad guys in the faction? Are they bad guys? Aren't they my lucky generals, Chu Xinghe's men?
Ma Liang, don't you dare mess things up for me!
From now on, regardless of whether it's a repeat purchase or a purchase made under a false name, Ma Liang, don't worry about it. Just remember, no matter who comes... we'll focus on selling one to them!
I'm not afraid of them causing trouble now; I'm afraid they won't cause trouble!
So we'll sell this one to whoever comes! The more we sell, the more excited Senior Brother Xinghe will be!
Ma Liang stared dumbfounded as his Senior Brother Xinghe left... Um... Senior Brother Xinghe, how do you look at this game... we've lost so much...
