Illusion

Yang Ming and the others left the resting area and arrived at the contestants' viewing seats. The spectators in the surrounding stands were continuously booing loudly because Yang Ming's opponent had directly chosen to forfeit today, causing them to miss an exciting match.

Yang Ming swept his gaze across the stands, and the corner of his mouth twitched violently. Half the audience in the entire venue was actually dressed in Shrek Academy's distinctive shit-green uniforms, with Yang Ming's name and portrait emblazoned in the most conspicuous places.

Although he knew this was his fans' way of showing their love for him, Yang Ming still found the combination of shit-green with his name and portrait somewhat hard to accept.

Yang Ming narrowed his eyes and looked at Headmaster Flender, who was pretending to watch the match, his face filled with speechlessness.

"Headmaster, you were the one selling those uniforms the audience is wearing, weren't you?"

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Flender coughed a few times, hooked an arm around Yang Ming's shoulder, raised four fingers, and whispered,

"Yang Ming, don't be dissatisfied. Because of your outstanding performance, these clothes have been selling extremely well these past few days. Those young girls in particular have been incredibly enthusiastic. We've sold over a hundred thousand pieces in just a few days, with net profits reaching tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coins. I can give you forty percent of the profits. How about it?"

You made fleecing fans sound so fresh and wholesome, Flender. You really are the first!

From the few details Flender had revealed, Yang Ming could imagine that the production cost of those clothes was probably only a few dozen Copper Soul Coins, yet they were being sold for ten or even a hundred times that price.
