Panoramic views of the Qingyun Building have appeared on major video websites online.
"How magnificent..."
"It's not that tall, but the area is too big. With such a large area, how can it be well lit?"
"That goes without saying, the lighting there must be terrible!"
"This building isn't even finished yet, and it's already this tall in just over a month. At this rate, if Qingyun Company is given another two months, they can definitely build over two hundred stories..."
"The lighting is fine. I've seen some pictures of the building's interior posted online by people who have moved in. It looks great. It's a pity..."
"Upstairs, where is that picture you saw? I can Photoshop a better picture of the building's interior for you. You actually believe pictures online? I'm amazed at your brain..."
"What a pity! It's a shoddy construction project. It should be blown up. Let's applaud the authorities. This building is worth at least hundreds of billions. They just blew it up like that. That's some serious guts!"
"Excellent! We must applaud the authorities this time for not being coerced by power or tempted by money. I heard that Qingyun Company bribed some high-ranking officials to open up channels and caused many low-ranking officials who targeted Qingyun Company to fall from power. As a result, the core authorities were furious and directly sent the military this time. That's really impressive! That's how it should be!"
"These rich people really think they're so great just because they're rich? A building worth hundreds of billions, I'll blow it to smithereens today!"
"The boss of Qingyun Company is going to cry. He wanted to make a lot of money, but he's going to lose everything. Serves him right!"
...
Numerous netizens discussed the matter, and some sided with Qingyun Company. These people were mostly loyal users of Qingyun Company's products, but they were too few. Most netizens were swayed by various forces, which made them have a very bad impression of Qingyun Company.
"What would it look like if such a tall and large building were to be destroyed?"
"Here are some videos of buildings being blown up, you can take a look..."
"Wow, how spectacular..."
"A multi-story building was instantly reduced to ashes, and the mushroom cloud that rose up was like a nuclear explosion..."
"The Qingyun Building is bigger and taller. I really want to know what it would look like if it were blown up!"
"Yes, I can't wait!"
On another forum, some netizens were discussing what it would look like to see the Qingyun Building destroyed. Watching some videos of other buildings being blown up, instantly collapsing and turning to ashes, they couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement and couldn't help but look forward to seeing the Qingyun Building destroyed.
Above an ocean, inside a flying car, Lin Yun was also watching this video.
Working tirelessly for a day, he later obtained more than 10,000 spiritual crystals. He then purchased a new professional device for absorbing and refining spiritual energy and set it up. At the same time, he found a level-two spiritual item and purchased another level-two spiritual item from the cosmic trading system. He integrated both level-two spiritual items into the two new devices.
Lin Yun has now deployed twelve professional devices around the world to absorb and refine spiritual energy, one of which incorporates level-two spiritual energy purchased from the cosmic trading system.
Currently, these twelve devices can provide Lin Yun with approximately 10,500 spiritual crystals per day.
Lin Yun still had more than 5,000 spirit crystals on the cosmic trading system. He did not spend them but kept them for future use.
"No wonder some powerful individuals become more ruthless as they grow stronger. It's because the more they grow, the more they see things clearly. They realize that very few ordinary people who are unrelated to them genuinely care about them. No matter how good you are to them, they may not appreciate your kindness. Furthermore, they might be misled by some people with ulterior motives and even stand against you..."
"Furthermore, there's the difference in strength, so some powerful individuals view ordinary people as ants, whom they can easily destroy..."
Looking at the many negative comments about Qingyun Company online, Lin Yun took a deep breath and said softly.
He knew that some of these negative comments were deliberately made by people with ulterior motives to smear Qingyun Company, but most of them were genuinely misled netizens. There were also some people with a similar mentality of resentment towards the rich, who couldn't help but feel excited when they saw powerful people fall, regardless of whether the other party was good or bad.
Xianyuan County is a place.
"These past two days, all domestic surveillance cameras have been activated, but no high-level energy has been detected entering. There are still ten minutes until the bombing of Qingyun Building. Has Lin Yun not arrived, or has the domestic surveillance system truly lost track of him...?"
Inside an aircraft, an old man frowned.
If Lin Yun were here, he would recognize that this old man was one of the Heavenly Group's Innate Realm experts who had dealt with him yesterday.
This aircraft is the same aircraft that dealt with him yesterday.
“If he can no longer be monitored within the territory, that would be the worst-case scenario. We should immediately implement the second step of the plan and keep a close eye on Lin Yun’s whereabouts. If he appears, we can implement the plan we discussed yesterday if necessary…” the old man at the late stage of the Innate Realm said coldly.
"Elder Leng, we should be cautious about that plan..." an old man said, his expression changing slightly.
“I understand what you mean, but in extraordinary circumstances, we must use extraordinary measures. If we blow up this building and then implement the second step of the plan, our conflict with Lin Yun will be even greater. If he defects to another country, you can imagine the consequences.” The old man at the late stage of the Innate Realm glanced at the old man who had spoken and said.
"The youngest of us is over seventy years old, and the oldest is over one hundred and thirty. We all know what China was like decades ago. At that time, China only had four hundred million people, or even less. Now it has reached 1.5 billion. The loss of a few hundred thousand is negligible..." After a pause, the old man in the late stage of the Innate Realm said calmly.
"Ten, nine, eight, seven..."
Finally, the countdown to the destruction of the Qingyun Building began.
Tens of millions of netizens across the country are watching this video.
Lin Yun also stared intently at the video, a cold glint flashing in the depths of his eyes, and a surge of anger rose in his heart.
Although he had already decided to give up on Qingyun Building, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger as he watched it being blown up.
As one of the innate experts of the Heavenly Group said, this building was built in the early stages of his development, and he poured a lot of effort into it. For this reason, he even did not hesitate to purchase various resources at a slower pace and develop at a slower pace.
His feelings for the Qingyun Building go beyond its simple value of hundreds of billions or even trillions of Chinese yuan.
"boom--"
Finally, a series of explosions rang out in the video.
"It's said that because of the structure of the Qingyun Building, the explosives used to bomb it were enough to destroy five buildings of that size. The authorities are aiming to completely destroy the Qingyun Building in one explosion, without needing a second one. I'm also very curious to see what that will look like. Such a large-scale destruction of a building demonstrates the authorities' strong stance against shoddy construction projects. This is an epoch-making event, and from now on, everyone's sense of security regarding their housing will increase significantly..."
In the video, a host excitedly and quickly introduces the topic.
"Um?"
However, when the host turned his head to look at the distant screen, he was taken aback.
The explosions were indeed very loud and produced a lot of smoke and dust, but through the smoke and dust, it could be vaguely seen that the Qingyun Building did not collapse completely like in the previous bombing scenes.
"What happened?"
"What's going on?"
"The Qingyun Building didn't collapse?"
"Did those explosives fail?"
Countless netizens also noticed this scene and couldn't help but express their surprise.
I heard that the massive Qingyun Building is going to be bombed today. Most of them specifically searched for information about the bombing, but something seems off about it.
"Wasn't it said that these explosives were enough to destroy five buildings this large?"
"Didn't they say the authorities were trying to avoid a second explosion after just one? But it seems like not even one floor of the seventy-plus-story Qingyun Building has collapsed..."
"This explosive is way too weak!"
Some people have raised questions online.
Finally, as the smoke and dust cleared, the Qingyun Building became clearer and clearer in the eyes of the audience. Indeed, the Qingyun Building did not collapse as everyone had imagined. It was only blasted with many holes by some explosives, but it still stood there stubbornly, without even a single floor collapsing.
"Qingyun Building is awesome! I told you, there's nothing wrong with Qingyun Building!"
"Damn it, this is outrageous! I knew it! The Qingyun Building was so nicely decorated, I've never seen anything like it. How could they possibly cut corners on the quality? I managed to snag a room in the Qingyun Building the day before yesterday, and now it's all gone. My perfectly good room is gone..."
"I always said that Qingyun Company's products are all high-tech, and Qingyun Building is no exception. What's so special about building more than seventy stories in just over a month? The facts prove that Qingyun Building is of very high quality; it didn't even collapse when bombed with five times the amount of explosives!"
Some comments immediately went viral online, with many expressing their anger.
These people are mostly those who managed to snag those rooms in the Qingyun Building. There are a total of 560,000 of them, which is a terrifying number. If they work together, they can unleash a terrifying force online.
No one knew better than them how well the Qingyun Building was decorated.
However, the officials said that there were quality problems with the Qingyun Building. Most of them were not professionals, and given the time constraints, they could not make a judgment and could only leave the Qingyun Building without saying anything.
After all, the authorities didn't just confiscate the Qingyun Building; they planned to blow it up.
In their minds, if the Qingyun Building hadn't actually had quality issues, the authorities probably wouldn't have done this.
After all, the Qingyun Building has already reached such a large scale.
Now, even five times the amount of explosives couldn't bring down the Qingyun Building, and they immediately erupted in anger.
Housing is a source of stress for many people in this era. No one can understand how excited they were when they finally managed to snag a nice house, nor can anyone understand how heartbroken they were when they learned that these houses were going to be destroyed.
Now, all of that has turned into anger.
"Right now, China's economy is extremely distorted, entirely supported by the housing market. I think the authorities must have heard that Qingyun Company planned to sell those houses to others for 1,000 yuan per square meter, and were afraid that the housing market would collapse, thus affecting China's overall economy. That's why they seized Qingyun Company and blew up the Qingyun Building. It's truly despicable..."
One netizen said angrily.
"Forehead……"
In the video, the host was also very embarrassed. He did not expect that reality was so different from his imagination. Looking at the large number of angry comments that were rapidly refreshing on the screen, he had a vague feeling that what he had just said had caused trouble, and he couldn't help but curse himself in his heart.
If I'd known, why did he have to talk so much? The situation over there was already outrageous, and he still kept babbling on. Really...
Just then, he heard a sound coming through his headphones.
"Dear viewers, I apologize. Due to the structure of the Qingyun Building, the authorities misjudged the amount of explosives needed to destroy it. As you all know, the Qingyun Building occupies a very large area, and its stability exceeds that of ordinary buildings..."
After listening for a few minutes, the host quickly spoke up.
"Its stability surpasses that of ordinary buildings, which proves that the Qingyun Building is problem-free?"
"Damn it, this is utter bullshit..."
"You even broadcast the whole country exploding shoddy construction projects? Your explosives must be shoddy tofu..."
The angry netizens remained relentless, continuing their furious rant.
"The fact that this type of building is more stable than ordinary buildings does not mean that it is truly safe. As you can see, the Qingyun Building already has many large holes, which proves that there are indeed quality problems with the Qingyun Building. The safety of a building cannot be judged solely by its frame; it must also be assessed by examining the floors above, below, and to the sides..."
The host broke out in a cold sweat and quickly continued to explain.
"Currently, the authorities are preparing for a second explosive charge. In fact, a second explosion is a normal occurrence when demolishing a building. Due to issues with the placement of the explosives and the force of the blast, such explosions may fail, which is also normal. It's just that the Qingyun Building covers a very large area, making these data calculations really difficult..."
The host continued.
official.
"I didn't expect the Qingyun Building to be of such high quality..." an official said, frowning.
"Not because of a calculation problem?" an official asked in surprise.
"Calculation problems my ass. That host is just fooling the common people. The Qingyun Building is indeed of good quality. I did a simple test beforehand and I estimated that the quality was relatively good, but I didn't expect it to be this good. It didn't even collapse with five times the amount of explosives." The official shook his head and said.
"We've already arranged for ten times the amount of explosives to be delivered for a second detonation. There shouldn't be any problems," an official said in a deep voice.
Soon, half an hour later, the official broadcast began showing the second bombing of the Qingyun Building.
Because of what just happened, the video quickly spread online, attracting even more viewers this time.
"boom--"
A second explosion rang out.
This time, the host didn't mention how much explosive was used.
However, seeing the even larger plume of smoke rising, many viewers speculated that more explosives were used in this explosion.
However, soon, many netizens were in an uproar again.
Because, despite the explosion, the Qingyun Building still did not collapse.
As the smoke cleared, people gradually saw that the Qingyun Building was only more dilapidated, but its frame was still standing there stubbornly, without even a trace of collapse.
"Damn it, they're liars! The authorities are all big liars!"
"Don't tell me, we didn't use as much explosives this time as last time!"
"We're not idiots, we're not morons!"
"They say the Qingyun Building is a shoddy construction. If this is shoddy, then what building is up to standard?"
"Qingyun Company has offended someone, and you're trying to get back at Qingyun Company!"
"Qingyun Company is targeting them because they're selling apartments too cheaply! They'd rather blow up such a nice building!"
"You didn't expect the Qingyun Building to be of such high quality, did you? Isn't that a resounding slap in the face?"
Angry comments are flooding various online platforms once again.
Seeing this, some of the officials who handled the matter felt a chill in their hearts.
Two explosions, one with five times the explosives and the other with ten times the explosives, failed to bring down the Qingyun Building. This is truly a slap in the face.
"Prepare for the third explosion immediately! Have the host tell the public that the second explosion was carried out in two...segments! Oh, and for the third explosion, use fifteen times the explosives!" an official quickly ordered.
