Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 118 - 117: Forgetting What’s Ahead and Behind—Capital! You Win!
That evening, Su Yuan began contacting some mid-tier Miao Yin streamers.
Under the onslaught of money, a total of ten small streamers, each with over 50,000 real followers, accepted this gift from the devil.
Each of these ten streamers received a deposit of 40,000 yuan, with another 40,000 yuan available after the job was done. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Su Yuan only took a commission of 20,000 yuan, which meant he was definitely a fair-minded water army agent.
He would never do the kind of thing where he, as the person behind the scenes, takes over 90% while only giving the streamers 500 yuan.
Even Chen Xian, watching from the side, couldn’t find any fault with that.
The ten streamers quickly placed orders for the Dragon Scale Roasted Goose on Su Yuan’s Miao Yin account shelf, which Su Yuan would personally ship out the next evening. The day after, these streamers could release their exposure videos.
In Su Yuan’s plan, his own army of 10,000 would mobilize right after the streamers posted their exposure videos!
They’d first stir up interest under each streamer’s account, then run over to Su Yuan’s main account’s livestream and comment section to start spamming, immediately making Chen Xian, the financer, see results.
What Chen Xian didn’t know is that each of his own three pieces of scandal news had a trap hidden in them!
These three big traps wouldn’t reveal themselves before he received the final payment, but once the payment was in hand...
Even if they couldn’t instantly nullify the water army’s effect, it could still boost popularity amidst the controversy.
The preparation could be said to be very thorough.
The next day, Su Yuan went to the Taibai Phecda’s house for tutoring, as usual.
Having learned Initial Understanding of Sword Qi yesterday, today he was to learn the Taixu Nine Swords.
Previously, Taibai Phecda mentioned that the Taixu Nine Swords could be used by means of Sword Qi, though that’s not entirely accurate.
Because this swordsmanship can only be used through Sword Qi.
Its cultivation method is quite bizarre, requiring the opening of nine acupuncture points: between the eyes, underneath the tongue, the shoulder blades, the chest, the back, both kidneys, and the abdomen, storing Sword Qi within them.
Once mastered, one can shoot Sword Qi directly from these nine points without any preparation.
It doesn’t matter if the enemy is in front, at the flank, or behind.
Cultivating this method won’t affect the use of other martial arts in battle.
If the enemy lacks information about the Taixu Nine Swords and engages in close combat with the cultivator, they might end up being pierced through like a sieve on the spot.
The sinister nature of this technique is evident, truly worthy of the Taibai Sword Demon!
However, while the Taixu Nine Swords boast strong power and assassination attributes, its cultivation difficulty is also high.
The hardest part lies in opening the acupuncture points.
Especially the acupuncture points in the kidney area, one wrong move could deal a heavy blow to the kidneys.
Even though cultivators have stronger bodies, losing a kidney could mean downtime for recovery, and they’d certainly be weakened for a period.
That’s why this swordsmanship is affectionately called the "Taixu Nine Swords."
During cultivation, pain is inevitable; according to Taibai Phecda, many cultivators gave up after opening just one or two acupuncture points due to the unbearable pain.
But as far as Su Yuan is concerned, would he even consider pain a big deal?
Demon Technique·Finger Body! Activate!
Using Wu Ziying as a scapegoat for the pain, Su Yuan directly and aggressively assaulted the critical kidney area! In just two hours, the two acupuncture points were opened?
The cost was Wu Ziying holding her waist tearfully like she’d overtaxed her kidneys during those two hours.
However, after enduring the pain Su Yuan transferred over, Wu Ziying did not come away empty-handed.
Every step Su Yuan took in opening the acupuncture points under the "Demon Lord" title’s double comprehension was sensed by Wu Ziying’s physical body.
Even if she were to replicate it, her cultivation progress could still be ahead of others.
By the end of the day, Su Yuan had opened a total of five acupuncture points, reaching the minor success stage of the Taixu Nine Swords.
By next week, with a bit more practice, he could achieve great success and start selling lessons.
After tutoring, even though Su Yuan didn’t go live, he went to the canteen with Chen Nuoyi to prepare a batch of roasted geese, ensuring that this batch could be delivered to those streamers smearing his name by tomorrow morning.
On Monday, Su Yuan acted as if nothing had happened and went to class.
However, he kept a close eye on the movements of those ten paid streamers, and by midday, some of them started releasing exposure videos!
"How a big streamer with a daily sales volume of over one hundred thousand deceives consumers!"
"Can you believe it? I was hit by a goose!"
"Naming ’AAA Su Yuan (Food Streamer, Online Roasted Goose!),’ some streamers’ professional ethics need improving!"
...
Various eye-catching titles made viewers want to click and watch.
With their substantial fan bases, comments quickly accumulated under the videos, though most people didn’t even know who Su Yuan was.
But that was okay, the ones stirring up drama were coming.
Using the excuse of going to the restroom, Su Yuan activated the Ten Thousand Souls Banner from the bathroom.
Over ten thousand Cyber Resentful Souls surged into the Spiritual Net, using every Miao Yin account they had to stir up drama under these videos and educate viewers on who Su Yuan was.
"A social troublemaker using Demonic Cultivation Techniques as a gimmick."
"Every food item Su Yuan sells is filled with soul, and it tastes worlds apart from normal food; don’t try it!"
"The streamer once went to the home of a major patron to sell herself..." (Which Resentful Soul posted this comment? Stand out!)
"His food will hit people; one mishap and it could bite you. Even if it doesn’t harm kids at home, it could still harm flowers and plants. It’s not ethical at all."
"The streamer has no horses."
One aggressive, subtly promotional comment after another began unleashing power across these videos.
These uninformed groups of fans gradually started to follow Su Yuan; the replay counts for the livestream clips surged.
Of course, due to preconceived notions, the comments from these fans were far from flattering.
This was exactly the effect Su Yuan wanted.
By six in the evening, Su Yuan, Chen Nuoyi, and Yin Qiyue gathered at the school cafeteria.
"Su Yuan, something’s happened!"
At the sight of him, Yin Qiyue said with a worried expression:
"Many streamers have released videos slandering you, and there are a lot of comments clearly trying to create drama. This is obviously targeted at you!"
"Su Yuan, did you offend someone?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Nuoyi seemed to realize something, her eyebrows slightly furrowing.
Su Yuan would never reveal that it was Chen Xian behind all this, sighing heavily as he put on a grave expression:
"I’ve been diligently streaming for a month, never offending anyone, yet so many people are now slandering me."
"I don’t know who’s setting this trap behind my back, who’s cake I’ve stirred, capital, you’ve won again!"
Yin Qiyue: "At this point, you still have the mind to joke, can you not think of a way to deal with this?"
"Just keep streaming, it’s not like I can do anything else, right?"
Su Yuan shrugged, placed his phone on a tripod, and started today’s livestream.
As the livestream began, more than ten thousand Cyber Resentful Souls rushed in like sharks smelling blood, filling the entire livestream screen with nauseating comments.
