BOOM!
Lin Feng's words struck Chrysanthemum Douluo's mind like a thunderbolt.
He froze completely.
In just a few seconds, the expression on his face shifted from bewilderment to shock, then to dullness, and finally... to utter despair.
Reward level... lowered?
Doesn't this mean that his hopes of obtaining that Extraordinary Velvet Chrysanthemum have become infinitely remote?!
If being on this damned watchlist lowers the reward level, how is he supposed to draw an immortal herb?
Forget the immortal herb; even a spirit bone like the eighty-thousand-year one Ghost Douluo got would become a pipe dream!
What would he even be able to draw in the future?
Everlasting socks?
Or self-cleaning underpants?
Wait, that last one actually sounds pretty good?
Pah! That can't compare to an immortal herb!
At the thought of this possibility, Chrysanthemum Douluo felt as if his world had completely collapsed.
The tears he had just managed to stop burst forth again like a floodgate opening.
And this time, he cried even harder and more miserably than before!
"Wuu... my immortal herb... my Extraordinary Velvet Chrysanthemum..."
Chrysanthemum Douluo sobbed, wiping his tears fiercely with the "Yue Guan's Sigh" handkerchief.
The more he wiped, the sadder he became; the sadder he became, the more he wiped.
The absorbency of this handkerchief was truly remarkable; even after all this time, it remained perfectly clean.
Ghost Douluo, standing to the side, finally reacted. He looked at the wailing Chrysanthemum Douluo, then at the spirit bone in his own hands, and felt a wave of lingering fear.
It was a good thing Yue Guan had slapped him awake earlier; otherwise, if he had really shouted "I'll take one of everything," what he would be holding right now wouldn't be a spirit bone, but a "Gui Mei's Repentance" bath towel.
Thinking of this, Ghost Douluo instinctively hugged the spirit bone in his arms tighter.
This was an eighty-thousand-year spirit bone!
You couldn't find more than a few of these in the entire continent!
Ignoring the inconsolable Chrysanthemum Douluo, Lin Feng glanced toward the shop entrance from time to time.
He was puzzled.
Since Chrysanthemum Douluo already knew about the wonders of his shop yesterday, shouldn't he have shared this information with many other Title Douluo?
Logically speaking, there should have been quite a few people coming to spend, so why, compared to yesterday, was there only Ghost Douluo? Where were the others?
Lin Feng's gaze drifted past the still-sobbing Chrysanthemum Douluo and looked out at the street.
It was empty.
Aside from a few ordinary passersby, there wasn't even a shadow of a spirit master.
This didn't make sense!
According to his expectations, after Chrysanthemum Douluo went back, he would surely have told the other Title Douluo about this place.
Then those Title Douluo would have swarmed in, lining up to spend.
His points would have been skyrocketing!
But in this situation...
Lin Feng frowned slightly, feeling confused.
Just then, Ghost Douluo seemed to notice Lin Feng's doubt.
He carefully tucked away his precious spirit bone and walked over to Lin Feng's side.
"Senior, are you waiting for guests?"
Lin Feng glanced at him without answering.
But Ghost Douluo was sharp and immediately understood what Lin Feng meant.
"Senior, are you wondering why no other Title Douluo have come?"
Only then did Lin Feng look him in the eye: "Hmm?"
Ghost Douluo gave a bitter smile and pointed at the still-wailing Chrysanthemum Douluo.
"Senior, Yue Guan did indeed tell all the Title Douluo in the Elder Hall about this place today."
"And then?"
"And then..." Ghost Douluo's expression became even more awkward, "Not a single person believed him."
Lin Feng was stunned.
"Everyone thinks Yue Guan is spouting nonsense," Ghost Douluo continued to explain. "They don't believe in your existence, Senior. To them, the idea of increasing one's soul power just by eating a meal is nothing but a fairy tale."
"Of course, the main reason is that Yue Guan doesn't have any rewards from you to show for it, so he can't convince the others."
Lin Feng's eye twitched as he heard this.
So, these Title Douluo were all the type who only believed what they saw with their own eyes; they simply didn't buy Chrysanthemum Douluo's descriptions.
After all, Chrysanthemum Douluo really didn't have anything on him to prove his claims.
The Extraordinary Velvet Chrysanthemum from yesterday had been confiscated, and today he had only drawn a handkerchief.
If Lin Feng were in their shoes, he wouldn't believe it either.
Regarding this, Lin Feng felt quite frustrated.
He had originally thought that after Chrysanthemum Douluo went back, he would spark a wave of consumption, but as it turned out, these Title Douluo were more stubborn than the last, refusing to believe it no matter what.
This led to a very realistic problem—if no one came to spend, his Gourmet Points wouldn't go up!
[Ding! Don't be discouraged, small-fry host. This system believes that one day you will be able to save up one hundred thousand points!]
Lin Feng's eye twitched violently; he wanted nothing more than to drag this broken system out and beat it to a pulp.
But more than that, he was annoyed by his inability to harvest points.
Couldn't these damn Title Douluo just come and see for themselves if it was real or fake? Did they have to be so rigid?
Just as Lin Feng was grumbling to himself, Ghost Douluo seemed to sense his irritation.
This elder, who had just received an eighty-thousand-year soul bone, was currently stroking his treasure with great care, his mind racing.
Senior seems very dissatisfied that the other elders aren't coming to spend?
This won't do!
Senior has been so good to me, bestowing such a precious soul bone upon me; how could I let Senior down?
Thinking of this, Ghost Douluo stood up abruptly.
"Senior!"
His voice carried an unprecedented sense of determination and excitement.
"I am willing to take the soul bone you bestowed upon me and go promote this immediately!"
"I'll let those blind fools see what a true opportunity looks like!"
Hearing this, Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
A teachable student indeed!
This is the kind of awareness a qualified leek should have!
Not only does he consume himself, but he also takes the initiative to bring in more leeks!
This kind of employee is exactly what a boss dreams of!
Although he was happy inside, Lin Feng remained extremely calm on the surface.
"As you wish."
He paused, then added:
"If they don't believe it and don't come, it just means I'll have a little less experience of life in the mortal world."
Boom!
These words were like a heavy bomb, exploding in everyone's minds!
The mortal world?
Experience of life?
Ghost Douluo's eyes widened, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.
Could it be that this Senior Lin Feng is truly a deity descended to earth to experience life?
Beside him, Chrysanthemum Douluo also stopped sobbing, his red, swollen eyes fixed intently on Lin Feng.
Hu Liena and the other two exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock.
Thinking back on the various methods Lin Feng had displayed—
Helping others increase their soul power!
Creating soul rings out of thin air!
Suppressing Chrysanthemum Douluo to the ground with a single look!
If Lin Feng were a deity, then all these abilities that defied common sense would suddenly make perfect sense!
Just as everyone was speculating about Lin Feng's identity, Lin Feng spoke again in a slow, leisurely tone, his voice carrying a hint of approval.
"However, since you have this mindset, it is worthy of praise."
Upon hearing the words "worthy of praise," Ghost Douluo was beside himself with excitement!
A senior whose true identity was very likely a deity had actually praised him!
This made him even more excited than receiving the eighty-thousand-year soul bone!
But it didn't end there; after speaking, Lin Feng simply waved his hand, and a full eleven immortal herbs, including the one from before, suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes!
