As the days went by and the incident gradually unfolded, more and more ordinary people came into contact with this so-called "Taoist Seed Project".
Next, more socially awakened people, while in awe of this beacon of humanity and star of China, were also genuinely angry, hating him to the core!
If it weren't for the fact that no one could rival him, even our Grandmaster Wang would get ambushed and killed whenever he went out...
After all, the spirit stone containing the Dao seed is itself very valuable and is currently in short supply in China.
Moreover, spirit stones are not only naturally able to condense spiritual energy for cultivation and use, but they can also be used as treasures for self-recovery. Furthermore, they contain the spiritual power of a grandmaster, not to mention that one can permanently master a new healing ability.
Although the government distributes them free of charge to all college students at the Awakened Academy, there is nowhere for ordinary people to receive them.
Moreover, even if the Ministry of Education wanted to give them away for free, it would still need the resources. The spirit stone mines on Blue Star have only been producing for a few years, so where would they get so many supplies?
As for purchasing directly through external channels...
The method is simple. There are fixed exchange locations on the official websites and offline in various military regions. The price is not expensive either. It's free; you only need to exchange for exotic beast materials!
No problem, it's just a strange beast. We can go out and hunt it or just buy it.
However, the webpage seemed to be broken. No matter how many times I refreshed it, it still showed the words "Out of Stock" in bright red!
As for the offline portion, the queues stretching for several blocks still presented these adventurers with a heavy "big challenge!"
Official channels can only release a tiny amount each day; either they're snapped up by insiders or scalpers.
With too many monks and too little porridge, coupled with government control and the intentional or unintentional leaks of information about the Heavenly Demon, the price of this spirit stone seed on the black market skyrocketed.
Many adventurers often go bankrupt trying to buy even one, which discourages most ordinary people.
If that's all there is to it, then these guys will either continue to gamble on the official website or buy it at a high price on the black market; they certainly won't be cursing Wang Zheng.
But even under these circumstances, this hope of China, the light of humanity, actually charged them another fee when helping them activate their abilities!
This is a case of taking a narrow path, completely standing on the opposite side of the people!
Originally, since it required Master Wang to personally take action and pass on the other party's abilities, it was perfectly reasonable for him to charge a reasonable fee.
However, with these awakened individuals already financially depleted, those who wanted to obtain superpowers for free began to complain.
Not to mention that the spirit stones and Dao seeds are given to students in all the colleges for free, and no one mentions charging when they go to Nanjing University to awaken their abilities.
The problem isn't scarcity but inequality. After seeing many students posting online to show off, Master Wang's reputation suddenly plummeted.
Unfortunately, Young Master Wang didn't care about this matter at all. In fact, after learning about the grievances of these keyboard warriors, he seriously considered it for a long time.
He then proactively admitted his mistake on his social media account, and subsequently recruited other students from the Awakening Academy to pay for the service as well.
This ingenious move caused great distress to the deans of various schools, who then rushed to the Ministry of Education to plead for leniency.
Only Southeast University, which was right next door, was the only one to enjoy the benefit of free awakening because of its proximity.
Whether Principal Tang regretted not agreeing to the merger after seeing the resource disparity between the two schools is unknown...
Apart from the two pilot universities in southern Beijing that did not send representatives, the other 37 colleges resorted to the old trick of submitting a joint petition!
Unfortunately, Zhao Yucai didn't play by the rules at all. He directly stated that he wasn't capable enough and couldn't control Wang Zheng, telling them to figure it out themselves.
Their immediate supervisors had no intention of getting involved, and they couldn't very well go to Nanjing University to confront them. After sighing and complaining for a long time, they could only reluctantly accept it.
After all, Wang Zheng has a fiery temper, and these shrewd people know very well that if they cause trouble, the other party will really dare to take action.
We definitely can't win if we fight!
Are they all so old, about to retire, that they still have to go to Nanjing University and lie on the ground to stage an accident?
If that's the case, then we'll lose all face and dignity.
As for what to do next...
Just pay up obediently. What else can you do but learn from them? Anyway, the other party's asking price isn't high. If the students really can't afford to pay, then they can just sign an agreement like Nanjing University.
However, after this incident, they'll never be able to turn their lives around again. It's possible that this will become the only Awakened Academy in all of China...
The joint petition by the former principals has temporarily come to an end. Young Master Wang himself is busy personally instructing his juniors on supernatural abilities and has not paid any attention to the movements of these old foxes.
He only learned about this from Lao Chu later.
However, Young Master Wang wasn't in a hurry at all. Anyway, it was a seller's market now, so he could come or not, and it would be best if he didn't come.
He even felt that Lao Zhao and the others were being a bit too hasty. Their current production capacity simply couldn't keep up with the demands of all the awakened ones. If they had waited a little longer, whether it was to develop the Spirit Stone Dao Seed 2.0 or to recruit more spiritual awakened ones to increase production, it would have been much better than it is now.
However, Wang Zheng could understand that such an operation must have been deliberately carried out by the authorities in the capital.
To put it simply, it's a tactic similar to scarcity marketing, keeping the product in the spotlight to facilitate better promotion.
It's a pity for those students; they've lost out on such great benefits. I heard that they were supposed to come from Shanghai yesterday, but they turned back halfway there.
