Chapter 227 Tiandao, Adam
Gao Heng felt his heart churning at this moment.
The official notice came with a brief introduction to Yu Cang, and he couldn't hold back as soon as he opened it.
He's really nineteen years old!
He had been sneering at the marketing accounts talking nonsense before, but then the official turned around and gave him an epic slap in the face.
At the age of nineteen, he received the Flame Emperor Medal.
My own nineteen years old...
Gao Heng raised his head and looked at his dim dormitory.
Not to mention when I was nineteen, even now, I wouldn't get up before noon.
His other roommates were also silent, obviously frightened by the information.
Wait… Since that 19-year-old marketing account is real, then the marketing account about the military overhaul…
Gao Heng took a deep breath and continued reading.
Sure enough, the document described it this way:
...it has guided our army in upgrading its armaments. Its independently developed series of soul cards are now in service, which has greatly improved our army's combat effectiveness.
"Hiss..." The dormitory leader took a deep breath, "I never thought that there would be a day when I would be attacked by a marketing account..."
The official announcement was very subtle, but even such a subtle announcement used the word "leap forward".
It is conceivable that the actual results achieved by Yu Cang in the major military reform are definitely higher than what the marketing accounts say.
And the worst thing is... the notice means that the synchronization and star level "comply with the regulations and will be made public." What does this mean?
Doesn’t it mean that these are all backward things!
In other words, Yu Cang must have come up with many more outrageous things than this!
Star rank is already a discovery that has driven the development of the card maker system. It is even more advanced than this... I dare not imagine it, I really dare not imagine it.
The information about Yu Cang provided by the official website is not long. It simply describes Yu Cang’s achievements, but at the end, there is a very ambiguous word “etc.”
This one word has many meanings.
"No." Gao Heng rolled off the bed with a jerk. "Other people have already achieved success and fame at the age of nineteen, but how can I be so decadent at the age of twenty? Let's go to the library, shall we?"
The third brother rolled his eyes: "...You're so energetic so quickly."
He dared to say that within three days at most, he would definitely see Gao Heng still lying in bed at noon.
"Don't say that, we really need to get serious about this." The dorm leader's face was serious. "The appearance of the Star Rank is equivalent to establishing a new subject for us... It may not affect seniors, but the juniors' courses will definitely have to change. We should study this Star Rank more before making any changes. Otherwise, it will be difficult to graduate."
The third brother: “…”
It’s bad, the diploma I got is gone?
Oh, I could have just laid down.
"What? Why are you all looking like that?" The fourth brother, whose phone had been forcibly turned on, seemed to have just reacted. His eyes suddenly lit up. "Star rank... this is the new trend! The card maker world has been dormant for so long. Brothers, this is a great opportunity for us to show our skills!"
The release of Star Ranks necessitated a massive overhaul of card creation from top to bottom. Soul Cards had been around for over a thousand years, and with so many schools and systems, it was a tad bloated. To upgrade all of these things based on Star Ranks...
Yu Cang definitely can't do it by himself, and even if the entire card maker community comes together, it will take decades to digest it.
As the first batch of card makers in the new era, they will definitely be the ones who can profit the most!
Not to mention, there is a synchronized blue ocean waiting for them ahead.
"That's right." The third brother also realized this. "Come on, let's go. I'll treat you to lunch. Let's meet at the library this afternoon!"
At this moment, Gao Heng's personal terminal suddenly vibrated. He picked it up and took a look. It was his mother's call.
"Wait a moment, I have to take a call first."
Walk aside,
"Hey, Mom, what's wrong?"
"Son... I saw something online about this... Star rank? Or is it called Synchro?"
"Yes. This is a good thing. It promotes social development."
"Son, tell me the truth." The voice from the terminal couldn't hide its worry. "I heard from the brother-in-law of the kid from the Li family next door that this result will have a big impact on the Higher-Level Summoning you're studying. Will it... affect your future employment?"
Gao Heng immediately understood what was happening.
Well, my mother has been bullied again... Gao Heng knew the person she was talking about, he was a marketing account owner.
He explained, "No, Mom, a card maker will never be unemployed."
"Don't lie to Mom... Son, it's okay. If it really has any consequences, I'll report it to the higher authorities with some of my sisters. If this gets out of hand, the government will definitely give us an explanation."
"No." Gao Heng just felt a headache.
He felt helpless about such family members.
I didn't believe it myself, so I went to believe others... and the solution I came up with was such a stupid one.
"It's okay, just trust me. The 'Star Rank' we discovered this time is not only beneficial for Synchro, but also for the Higher-Level Summoning I'm researching. I'm so happy, don't do anything stupid."
"real?"
"Guaranteed authenticity!"
"Okay, okay, then I'm relieved..."
"Let's not talk about it for now. I have to get ready quickly."
"Okay, then mom won't bother you anymore."
After hanging up the phone, Gao Heng breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, although I am easily gullible, I listen to advice, which is good.
Putting away his personal terminal, Gao Heng picked up his schoolbag from the seat and said, "Let's go, guys! Let's go!"
…
Similar scenarios are playing out across the country.
Originally, under the deliberate exaggeration of marketing accounts, although the public was surprised that a winner of the Flame Emperor Medal was suddenly born, there were actually undercurrents, and many people had complaints about the results.
However, soon after Yu Cang published two papers on star order and synchronization, an official announcement completely interrupted the possibility of these public opinions gathering momentum.
Moreover, those marketing accounts were also updating rapidly, releasing new videos shortly after the two papers were released, boasting about the two achievements without a trace of rhythm. Some bloggers even resorted to direct manipulation, making the comment sections more harmonious than the official ones.
Now, the attitude towards Cang on the Internet is surprisingly consistent - this is the pioneer of the times, a peerless genius that appears once in a thousand years!
Even if someone wants to say something sarcastic, they will soon be drowned out by the crowd's attacks.
Imperial capital.
"Oh no..." The man in the suit was sitting in front of the computer, sweating profusely. "This announcement was released too quickly... And what is this star rank? Didn't they say that Yu Cang just created a summoning method? It's not in this intelligence..."
If the star rank was not working, they could still lead the upper summons to be abandoned. Now that the star rank has come out, they can only watch helplessly.
"Useless!" Duan Zai slapped the man in the suit under the table. "You couldn't even predict such an accident? What use is there for me with you?"
The room fell silent for a moment. Everyone stared at the computer screen with a serious expression, but the sound of typing on the keyboard had stopped, for fear of attracting Duan Zai's attention.
Duan Zai was breathing heavily, he was also angry with this guy.
Damn it, it was this guy who didn’t finish the work, but I was the one who got scolded by Big Brother!
Everything was fine at first, but they set up a scheme to praise Yu Cang and kill him, and to smear Yu Cang's character. As long as public opinion is in favor, even if Yu Cang publishes all the papers later, this stain cannot be washed away.
But an official announcement reversed all of this.
It was not announced before because of confidentiality agreement, but now it is behind schedule and can be announced.
Who would believe that!
It's only been a month since Yu Cang received the Flame Emperor Medal. In just this one month, his research has become outdated?
But with the official support, there was nothing they could do... This tactic really worked. Furthermore, the official tactics were definitely more than just announcements. Almost all of those marketing accounts had released a second video at lightning speed, lavishly praising Cang's two papers. Even the marketing accounts that had been stirring up trouble online in the past were now remarkably consistent.
Obviously, someone sent them money...it definitely wasn't them.
Duan Zai was also speechless.
They paid marketing accounts to hype up Yu Cang, and some people were too timid to follow suit. But praising Yu Cang... what's wrong with praising the recipient of the Flame Emperor Medal? Then the money would definitely be easy to come by, and as a result, the online trend about Cang suddenly changed.
The official bias is too obvious.
In fact, they had guessed at the beginning that the official would issue a statement to support the issue, but they did not expect it to happen so soon. Moreover, Yu Cang’s two papers seemed to be published on time. It was almost as if they had just hyped up public opinion when the papers were updated... They did not have any time to ferment public opinion at all.
But how is this possible? Not to mention that the review time is not that short, even this little time is not enough to write a paper of this quality!
Thinking of this, Duan Zai suddenly had an idea.
Could it be that... Yu Cang had no intention of hiding it from the beginning, and the paper had been written a long time ago, but it just happened to be published today?
Depend on!
Duan Zai slapped his forehead.
What a coincidence! Who would have thought it would happen today?
Now, they worked so hard to buy hot searches on major platforms, hired countless marketing accounts, and worked so hard to hype up nationwide public opinion, but just like that, someone else took advantage of it.
Looking at it this way, it seemed as if I had become Yu Cang's employee, helping him promote and build momentum for his paper before it was published...
They praised Yu Cang to death with excessive praise. Just as they praised Yu Cang, they found that the knife they were about to stab turned into fireworks.
They lifted it high, and the other person stood firmly. The huge wave they lifted up became Yu Cang's own power before it fell.
It hurts!
Duan Zai felt that if Yu Cang were standing in front of him now, he would definitely say to him with a strange look on his face: "You are a very nice person."
"No... I have another plan!" The man in the suit crawled out from under the table. "Trust me, give me another chance!"
A few days ago, the person in charge of Yu Cang's affairs was kicked out and disappeared without leaving any trace.
He doesn't want to end up like that!
"Hehe, you'd better have it." Duan Zai adjusted his collar, and a cold aura appeared all over his body.
…
"Brother, look, this is the new plan..."
Duan Zai leaned forward and carefully handed over a document in his hand, with the word "cautious" revealed in every pore of his face.
“…”
Duan Zhang took it and looked over it carefully.
"Hmm?" Duan Zhang raised his eyebrows. "What do you mean... the new summoning method mentioned in the paper wasn't the one Yu Cang used against Feng Er?"
"Yes." Duan Zai nodded, "My people speculate that Yu Cang should have more than one summoning method..."
“…”
Duan Zhang was silent, his brows tightly furrowed, and he said nothing.
Even though he was knowledgeable and experienced, he didn't know how to describe it at this moment.
In his opinion, synchronization and star rank are enough to get a Flame Emperor Medal, but you told me that there is another way to summon like this?
Maybe even more than that...
After all, the Yu Cang he saw was just a nineteen-year-old young man. Being young always means having infinite possibilities.
Duan Zhang rubbed his brows and suddenly felt a headache.
How could such a person be from the same era as Feng'er?
...No, you can't think like that.
No matter how skilled you are at card making, you're still just a card maker. To truly dominate the entire era, it all depends on who can achieve legend!
Thinking about it this way, it seems that Feng'er is quite lucky - to have such a brilliant card maker in the same era, then when he becomes a legend and stands at the pinnacle of Yan Country, all the achievements that Yu Cang has discovered now will become Feng'er's strength at that time.
Duan Zhang's brows relaxed slightly.
No matter how powerful the card making is, practicing is the right way.
To become a legend, talent, luck, and hard work are all indispensable. Feng'er has talent, so he is qualified to reach the level of a legend. As for Yu Cang... although he defeated Feng'er in the duel, it now seems that he does not have any unique talent as a soul card master.
What's more, Feng'er was not serious at that time.
Thinking of this, he turned his gaze back to the materials in his hand.
"You want to continue praising me? Are you making a fuss about that undisclosed summoning method?"
"Yes, we still have a chance..."
"Forget it, let's put this matter aside for now." Duan Zhang threw the materials on the table. "Yu Cang's situation is already established. No matter what rhythm we take at this moment, we will be sailing against the current."
"But is it just like that..."
"... Third Brother." Duan Zhang sighed, "Other people are not fools. If you stop now, the association won't say anything. But if you continue, it won't be a notice anymore."
This notice is clearly protecting Yu Cang, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
Of course, the state certainly favors recipients of the Flame Emperor Medal, but it's not excessive, and normal competition is still permitted. This kind of flattery can barely be considered within the scope of "normal competition."
But the authorities have spoken, and if they don’t stop, it would be a bit tactless.
"Well... okay." Duan Zai could only agree.
"Besides, it's not a failure." Duan Zhang smiled, but it was fleeting. "After all, it's already been praised, isn't it?"
After all, Yu Cang is still just a young man.
Growing up under everyone's gaze is not an easy thing... Duan Zhang is looking forward to seeing whether he can withstand the pressure.
"Go back, Yu Cang, leave it alone for now and go do other things."
"OK……"
…
Sky Island.
Looking at the world today, apart from Yan Country, the country with the strongest national strength in the open is probably Tiandao.
In fact, Tiandao’s history is not very long, only a few hundred years.
At the beginning, the founding myth of Tiandao took away a sacred artifact from Haiting, and with the help of a great power that came from nowhere, seven islands rose from the earth, forming the territory of this country high in the sky.
Although Tiandao has a shallow foundation, it seems to have obtained some knowledge from the star realm. Therefore, after the founding of the country, the soul card field developed very rapidly. In just a few hundred years, it has stood at the top of all countries, second only to Dayan.
St. Oust University
A laboratory
A young man stands in front of a computer, seemingly thinking.
He was dressed in white, had blond hair, and a few freckles on his face. He looked childish, but his blue eyes were so deep that if you weren't careful, you might fall into them just by looking at him.
At this moment, he was staring at the computer screen, on which data was flashing line by line. If someone stood in front of him at this moment, they would find that in his pupils, spots of light were moving through them like meteors, evolving into extremely complex rhythms as the data on the computer screen scrolled.
I don’t know how long it took.
The young man closed his eyes, rubbed his brows, and then said, "What could possibly be so daring as to disturb my thoughts... You should know that every second of my inspiration is worth tens of thousands!"
"I'm sorry, Adam," the man behind him said, "but you must know this...something big has happened in the card maker world of Yan Country."
"Yan Country?" Adam turned around. "Now, is there anything else abroad worth mentioning?"
"Of course." The man took out a tablet. "I won't introduce myself. You're definitely faster than me."
Adam took it and saw two papers on the tablet.
His expression remained unchanged, and his fingers slid quickly, and the words on the tablet almost became a line. Most people couldn't even see clearly at such a fast speed, but Adam could not only see clearly, but also remember and understand.
"Star rank? A new attribute? Contract Star rank... is it really possible?"
As he flipped, meteors streaked across Adam's azure pupils, forming an extremely complex rhythm in his eyes, which seemed to be deducing the rhythmic structure and function of the "Contract Star Level"!
Adam's tone held a hint of surprise, but his expression remained calm.
"Yan Country has quietly produced such a result? ... Indeed, after all, Yan Country is the world's most powerful country. As expected, no opponent can be underestimated..."
"Well," the man spread his hands. "Is this paper enough to make up for your lost inspiration?"
"That's absolutely enough." Adam's face was eerily calm, but his tone was already tinged with excitement. "Star Rank, what a genius idea! And Synchronicity... No, who is this author? I want to meet him!"
"Don't even think about it... You can't leave Tiandao. If Yu Cang says so, Yan Country will definitely not let him come."
At this time.
He suddenly noticed that Adam's originally calm expression suddenly became surprised, and after a few seconds, a hint of joy bloomed in his eyes again.
It looks pretty weird.
Men are no longer surprised.
Adam…his mind was so fast.
As a result, most of the time, he couldn't even react to his own expression - his surprise had only just shown on his face after a while.
Thanks to Weihuohu nv for the reward!
