Chapter 226 Public
Gao Heng is an ordinary student at Shendu University.
There wasn't much pressure during my junior year. Although my grades weren't great and I hadn't achieved much, graduation was a sure thing. I just waited until my senior year internship was over and then I'd leave.
This period of time is when there is nothing to do.
That day, he got up from the bed at noon, rubbed his eyes as usual, turned over in bed, and retrieved his personal terminal.
Ah, it’s only eleven o’clock… Never mind, I can’t sleep anyway, so I’ll just stay awake.
Gao Heng yawned and picked up the terminal. The dormitory was a little dim because the curtains were drawn, and the light from the terminal screen was particularly conspicuous.
Gao Heng narrowed his eyes slightly and was about to watch a video when a pop-up window suddenly popped up.
After seeing the words clearly, Gao Heng's eyes widened instantly, and the uneasiness he had just woken up disappeared without a trace.
"I'm Zhuo, the new recipient of the Flame Emperor Medal? Is that true?!"
For a moment, shock filled his heart, and with a bang, he sat up from the bed.
"Gao Heng! What's wrong with you?" A voice suddenly came from the side.
"Oh my god, don't sleep anymore, something big has happened!" Gao Heng said excitedly, "Headmaster, get up quickly, headmaster, and watch the news!"
"Um?"
The dormitory head frowned, squinted his eyes and leaned back from the bed. The next second, his face was directly blasted by the personal terminal with the brightness set to the highest.
"I Zhuo, stay away, I can see you!"
"Look, look!"
It took the dormitory leader a while to adjust before he could see the words in the white light that filled the screen.
"—The recipient of the Flame Emperor Medal?" The dormitory leader's eyes widened. He was about to say something when he paused, "That's not right... This news was just posted by a marketing account. Where did it come from?"
"Ah?" Gao Heng was stunned and took back the terminal. Sure enough, the person who posted this message was an account called "Brother Li Says News".
The name doesn't sound very reliable.
Oops, this can't be fake news.
He's already a college student and still being targeted by marketing accounts... If this is true, then this person is in big trouble.
...Wait, that's not right.
I don’t use these things myself, so how could big data push them in my face?
Thinking of this, Gao Heng's expression became firm. He said, "Humph, what's wrong with a marketing account? I'm showing you the news itself. Who cares who posted it? Just wait and see. I'll check it for you on the official website."
While speaking, Gao Heng's hands kept moving. Soon, he found the latest list of recipients of the Flame Emperor Medal from the official website.
He glanced at it, and when he saw the last unfamiliar name, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Sure enough! One more!
"Look, there's just one more!"
"Hiss." The head of the department became interested, and his mind suddenly became clearer. "Hurry up and look through the notice. What did this person do to deserve the Flame Emperor Medal?"
As professional card makers, they knew full well that this industry hadn't seen anything of significance for a long time. Forget about anything worthy of the Flame Emperor Medal. Even the International Card Makers' Expo in recent years had been lackluster.
In this situation, there is actually one more winner?
Gao Heng browsed the official website and did a quick search using "Yu Cang" as the keyword, but unfortunately, there was nothing good. He could only see a Yingcao set... Gao Heng took a look and found it was indeed very impressive, but it was far from the Flame Emperor Medal.
"Eh, that's weird." Gao Heng scratched his head, "Why isn't there any official announcement?"
Generally speaking, such a major event would have been widely known in the association long ago.
"Could it be that it was just awarded?"
"No... This list has been updated for over a month."
“There might be a delay.”
The two looked at each other.
"No...what's wrong? What's going on?" a voice came from the other side. "It's so noisy in the middle of the day. Aren't you letting me sleep in?"
"Third brother, something big has happened!" Gao Heng's eyes lit up, "There's another recipient of the Flame Emperor Medal!"
"Hmm?" The third brother poked his head out from behind the curtains. "Really? What did he do?"
"I don't know... There's no news on the official website right now, and the outside interpretations are marketing accounts."
"Then let's check out the marketing accounts. With something this big happening, they should be able to figure it out."
"Then I'll search."
Gao Heng switched to a video software and searched randomly according to the keywords. The next second, a large number of related information came out. The number of views of the top videos were all millions, and the number was still increasing.
Wow...
I just slept in, what happened?
He quickly clicked on one of the videos, and a familiar AI synthesized voice came out.
"Do you know who the youngest recipient of the Flame Emperor Medal is? Today, let us find out..."
…
"What the hell."
Gao Heng frowned.
A 19-year-old recipient of the Flame Emperor Medal? You must be kidding.
Doesn't that mean he is younger than me?
Although I'm a bit lazy...but at this age, you only have so much time to spare, it's impossible for me to achieve such exaggerated results!
If it was in the past, when the card maker system was not so perfect, maybe it might be possible, but now, don’t even think about it.
Do you think you are reading an online article?
He can't even brag...it's fake at first glance!
"Look at something else." said the dormitory head.
Gao Heng nodded and swiped to the next video.
"Come here, brothers, take a look. Do you know what real technology and hard work are?..."
…
“…That’s a bit too much.”
Gao Heng rolled his eyes.
What is this talking about?
What kind of armament overhaul championship project, with a score dozens of times ahead of the second place... A tactical team composed of level five soul card masters can deal with epic beast tides and even plan combat missions against legendary levels?
Can you please have some common sense!
"These marketing accounts are becoming more and more fake." Gao Heng was so angry that his teeth were itching.
Do you think card making is child's play? What effect do you want to achieve?
Do you understand the law of conservation of soul energy? Do you know the maximum limit of texture?
This guy is talking nonsense. He probably didn't even graduate from high school.
"Next, next."
…
"Today, a small experiment at Ancient Capital University, which was ranked very low, produced a great result that could influence the world! We all know that Soul Card Masters' summoning methods are divided into ordinary summoning and higher-level summoning, but now, a new summoning method is about to meet you..."
Gao Heng hissed.
Help, this looks so fake.
You already said he's a recipient of the Flame Emperor Medal. Someone of this status has a Lab 22? You're kidding.
In the video, Gao Heng felt very uncomfortable with the shocking copywriting and exaggerated analysis, but after thinking about it, he felt that this was a relatively reliable statement.
A new summoning method, this is indeed worthy of a Flame Emperor Medal, and compared to several other videos, this statement is acceptable... reasonable.
But what about the paper? What about the evidence? What about the announcement? What about the summons?
Gao Heng just felt itchy in his heart.
No, that's not what it is.
There is an extra Flame Emperor Medal, which is a good thing. Why hide it?
If there really is a new summoning method, then he should bring it out right away so that he can see if his job prospects will take off immediately.
"Could it be that this summoning method has not yet been perfected?"
"I don't know... I'll brush it again."
Gao Heng clicked on other videos.
…
"Brothers, the future has arrived!" A middle-aged man sitting in front of an antique bookcase said excitedly, "This time, Master Yu Cang, our only recipient of the Flame Emperor Medal in hundreds of years, has created a brand new summoning method!
"This summoning method is far more advanced than the Higher-Level Summoning method. It can easily summon even more powerful summoned beasts with minimal soul energy consumption! Brothers, I can say that once this summoning method is released, all the previous Higher-Level Summoning methods will become outcasts of the times. This new summoning method will rule the world from now on!
"Brothers, in the past, a Level 5 Soul Card Master summoning an epic at the beginning might only exist in imagination, but now, this is something that can actually happen around us!
"Furthermore, this summoning method affects not only the combat of Soul Card Masters, but also totemic creations, Soul Energy tools, and so on. It touches upon every aspect of our lives! I can say that the future has arrived!"
In the video, the middle-aged man spoke in an exaggerated tone and looked excited. He seemed to be easily aroused. When Gao Heng opened the comment section of the video, he was already in an uproar.
-
Huh? My kid has been researching upper summoning in college. Will he be unemployed after this comes out? -
Of course, go back and persuade your child as soon as possible to make preparations early to avoid too much impact.
-
Brothers, I don't understand, which materials are in greater demand for this new summoning method? Which stock will yield higher returns?
Having said so much, who knows what the new summoning method is?
-
I don’t know, it’s nothing. This is the fish I just caught, two kilograms [Picture].
-
It's useless. When I am in the "domestic" field, I activate the spell card "Monthly Salary of Three Thousand", summon three "Sweet" derivatives on the field, and make them get the buff of "None of My Business". I cover the cards "Classic", "Filial Piety", "Clam", "Urgency", "Win", "Happy", and "Mahjong" in the backfield, and summon a "Foreign Friend". How would you respond?
-
Oh my god, such a deep soul energy! -
I can't solve this game, I choose the second-speed victory.
-
It's over, and there's no official announcement. Either it's fake news, or Yu Cang has no intention of making it public.
-
It's a monopoly, isn't it?
-
What high-level equipment card.
-
No, I've already received the Flame Emperor Medal, so can you please not be so stingy? This is a major event that will benefit all of humanity, so what's wrong with making it public?
Yu Cang's popularity suddenly soared today without any signs. I don't believe there is no one behind it... If you ask me, Yu Cang is just a person who is seeking fame and reputation.
-
I'm looking forward to it. If this is true, I can finally catch up with the good times!
…
The comment section was very lively for a while.
There are speculators, fun-loving people, little jokers, real and fake fishermen, and saints everywhere, and the composition is extremely complicated. It is very lively and chaotic at the same time.
Even Gao Heng, a high-intensity surfer, gasped when he saw this.
It truly is a testament to the diversity of the Internet population.
That being said, he still frowned slightly when he saw someone condemning Yu Cang for not disclosing the summoning method.
Regardless of whether this new summoning method exists or not, the results were achieved by others themselves, and it is not the place of outsiders to interfere in how to deal with it. Why are you interjecting here?
If this is true, then one can imagine that countless efforts and hard work must have been put into it. He is also a card maker, so he naturally understands the hardships involved.
What's more, the person they are morally blackmailing is the recipient of the Flame Emperor Medal!
This group of people really talk without any worries!
Thinking of this, he pulled out his keyboard, threw away the family tree, and was about to join the fight when he suddenly saw a reply in a comment condemning Yu Cang:
Don't be ignorant, go to the official website and check it out. They have already published the paper, okay? -
It's so funny. Papers of this level have to be approved by the state before they can be published. Since you can see other people's news here, it means that it is not far from being announced.
-
Okay, stop pretending that this is all due to public opinion. Let me tell you quietly that the review time for this kind of paper is calculated in months, which is much earlier than the time when these marketing accounts appeared, okay?
No way, no one would really question the recipient of the Flame Emperor Medal. Do you know how many review procedures this medal method needs to go through before it can be awarded? Do you know that it also requires the approval of the myth? Could it be that Ning thinks that Ning can judge people better than the myth?
-
Let me put it this way, even if the recipient of the Flame Emperor Medal directly releases an attack soul card on you, you will definitely be the first one to be scrutinized and suspected.
-
Don’t block me, it’s so funny.
…
Comfortable.
Gao Heng breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that someone of the same mind has already taken action, so it seems that there is no need for me to help.
Sure enough, there are still many good people in this world.
But... the paper has been published?
Gao Heng quickly exited the video software, opened the association's official website, and searched for papers under Yu Cang's name.
There aren’t many of them, but the two newly released ones are definitely heavyweights just by looking at their names!
Theory of Soul Card Star Attributes, Basic Theory of Synchro Summoning
Frog fun.
I don’t know what the star-level attribute theory in the front is, but the one in the back... Synchro Summoning, isn’t this the legendary new summoning method!
"Hey, come and look!" Gao Heng quickly called all his roommates over, "I found Yu Cang's thesis!"
Upon hearing this, the other roommates immediately put down their personal terminals and gathered around Gao Heng's bed. The roommate who was still sleeping was also forced by the third brother to turn on his computer, and was dragged to Gao Heng's stairs to look at his terminal.
"Hurry, hurry!"
"Don't waste time!"
The basic theory of Synchro Summoning!
When I clicked on the article, the dormitory fell into silence for a moment.
Everyone was looking at the content carefully, their eyes gradually widening.
Is it so easy to achieve this soul energy utilization rate?
In the past, these were the unique skills of card-making masters or even card-making grandmasters!
But if we go by this "synchronization" theory...it seems like they can also make such a card?
But what is the star rank?
Does the Soul Card have this attribute?
"Oh right." Gao Heng slapped his head, "Yu Cang seems to have another paper on the star level!"
"Look first, look first."
Soon, a paper was completed.
Four people reading a paper certainly won't be particularly detailed, but it's enough for them to understand what synchronization is.
It is definitely a cross-century achievement!
"This idea is amazing..." That's all Gao Heng could say.
"Wait a minute!" Suddenly, the dormitory head spoke.
He pointed to the reference column at the bottom of the document.
I saw this column, and the first sentence was written:
This article does not require any references.
The four of them looked at each other, and then gasped.
Is this the recipient of the Flame Emperor Medal... So crazy, I love it!
…
at this time.
Gudu University.
Lin Yunqing sat in front of the computer, the fluorescent light from the screen reflected in her eyes, and the crackling sound of typing was continuous and dense, echoing in the laboratory for a long time.
Yu Cang poked his head out of the doorway: "What are you doing typing so much?"
"It's okay." Lin Yunqing's face was calm. "I suddenly realized that there was some work that I had neglected."
"Is that so... Then you go ahead and get busy."
"By the way, Senior." Lin Yunqing raised his head. "There are suddenly a lot of marketing videos related to you. Do you have any clues?"
"It's about me?" Yu Cang was full of questions. "What's it about?"
"Most of them are... praising you."
"...You don't think I did this, do you?"
“No.”
"That's impossible!" Yu Cang rolled his eyes. "Forget it, just praise me. This matter is not important."
"OK."
Yu Cang left the room, and after a while, the sound of typing began to sound again.
If you look closely, you will find that there are one comment section after another on Lin Yunqing's glasses.
"Are you qualified to call me senior?"
Lin Yunqing had a calm expression, but his teeth were clenched tightly together.
"No, there are too many people here, I can't scold them all...I need to hire some trolls."
…
The entire Yan Country was in an uproar this morning.
A new recipient of the Flame Emperor Medal—this is a rare event that only happens once in hundreds of years...it's definitely worth celebrating by the entire country.
Imperial capital.
"How is it?" Duan Zai asked the group, "Has public opinion started to stir?"
"Public opinion is currently developing in the expected direction." One person stared at the computer. "Many people have begun to question why Yu Cang didn't make his paper public. He's already at the center of the storm, and there's no way to defend himself."
"Really?" Duan Zai smiled.
It seems that the task assigned by the eldest brother this time can be completed very well.
The power of public opinion is terrifying.
I don’t know how many geniuses have fallen under the influence of public opinion... Even many people who have already achieved success and fame cannot escape its influence.
After all, under the public spotlight, it is difficult for anyone to be flawless. As long as there is a little flaw, it will be magnified infinitely by public opinion!
What's more, it was you, Yu Cang, who wanted to monopolize the new summoning method by not making it public, wasn't it?
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Duan Zai's face.
Suddenly, someone stood up from the computer next to him and said anxiously, "Oh no! Yu Cang has published two papers!"
"What paper?"
"Yes...it's a new summoning method!"
"Hmm?" Duan Zai smiled. "You reacted quickly, but it's too late. You're only speaking out now because you're under duress. This stain can't be washed away! Furthermore, the new summoning method will squeeze the living space of higher-level summoners, causing many people to lose their jobs... Humph, when the time comes, you'll be the target of their wrath!"
"But……"
"What's the matter?"
"But Yu Cang published two papers and also created a star rank. This star rank also greatly enhanced the normal summons and higher-level summons..."
“…”
"Also, the association's official website has released a notice!"
"What? Let me see."
…
...The Yan Nation Card Creators Association congratulates Mr. Yu Cang on receiving the Flame Emperor Medal. Mr. Yu Cang has painstakingly made numerous remarkable improvements to the card-making field, many of which remain undisclosed due to confidentiality agreements. However, Star Rank and Synchro Summoning meet regulatory requirements and are therefore publicly available.
…
“…It’s over.” Duan Zai felt his head go blank and he stood there in a daze.
As soon as the official announcement came out... he turned into a clown!
Oh no, my attempt at flattery failed, and I ended up creating momentum for him!
…
Shendu University.
Gao Heng widened his eyes when he saw the official information about Yu Cang.
Am I, Chao, really nineteen years old?
Nani, is the marketing account real? 0.o
