Chen Ping stood alone in the middle of the treasure, holding a magnificent longsword, surrounded by a group of people with envious expressions.
Chen Ping looked around and saw no emotion other than jealousy in their eyes. Clearly, this was the jealousy of the Seven Deadly Sins.
An overwhelming sense of jealousy filled everyone's hearts. They looked at Chen Ping, who stood in the middle, with envy for the magnificent sword in his hand and the gold and silver treasures at his feet.
Chen Ping looked around and noticed that apart from naked jealousy, there was no other emotional fluctuation in the eyes of these people. Clearly, this was one of the Seven Deadly Sins—jealousy—at work. He knew that these basic levels of the Seven Deadly Sins usually did not attack proactively, but rather achieved their purpose by inciting and manipulating people's negative emotions.
As time ticked by, the crowd not only grew larger, but their expressions also became increasingly distorted by jealousy. Chen Ping remained silent, calmly waiting to see when this jealousy would take action through the group.
I waited and waited, and more than half an hour passed, but apart from the ever-increasing number of jealous people, nothing else happened. It was very strange.
Chen Ping glanced at the descriptions on the list. "Wow, the most basic level of jealousy has absolutely no destructive power? It only amplifies other people's jealousy to launch attacks."
(⊙o⊙)…
Chen Ping couldn't help but twitch his lips. He had waited for more than half an hour for nothing. He was so stupid.
Given this, Chen Ping began to think about how to make jealousy manifest in a physical form. He knew that jealousy was currently hiding behind the jealous emotions of everyone in the crowd, and if he didn't force it out, he wouldn't be able to effectively seal it off or deal with it.
However, he understood that even if all those people affected by jealousy were eliminated, jealousy would not manifest itself, because it is an invisible emotional force that resides in people's hearts.
After a moment of thought, Chen Ping suddenly looked at the magnificent longsword in his hand and the gold and silver treasures at his feet. Hmm, it seems that he could use these two to force out the jealousy?
There's no need for overly sophisticated methods, since this envy is not only the most basic form of the Seven Deadly Sins, but it's also a mass-produced version, and the kind of Seven Deadly Sins without any mind.
He decided to act boldly, no longer passively waiting for jealousy to manifest itself, but taking the initiative. Chen Ping first deliberately manipulated the longsword in his hand, making it gleam even more brightly in the sunlight. Then, he intentionally trampled on the gold and silver treasures under his feet, causing them to collide with a crisp, melodious sound to attract the attention of the surrounding crowd. His aim was to create a strong focal point of jealousy, inducing it to separate from the hearts of those affected and thus manifest a tangible form.
Considering the instinctive nature of jealousy, Chen Ping was convinced that even if this might deter jealousy, its low intelligence would ultimately make it difficult to resist the strong stimulation brought by wealth and advantage. Therefore, he firmly believed that this method would work.
As expected.
Looking at the distorted, jealous faces around him, Chen Ping nodded in satisfaction. Next, he just needed to kill them all, leaving one person alive to trigger their jealousy. Then, the jealousy would take over the body and descend upon him.
That's right. If the opponent is a person with the Seven Deadly Sins who has lost their mind, this trick might not have any effect at all. But for these wholesalers, it's a piece of cake.
Of course, Chen Ping did not do this himself.
Chen Ping first threw the ornate longsword into the crowd, which immediately caused a scramble among them. They were all so jealous that they were willing to kill each other for that ornate sword.
Looking at the crowd that was starting to get chaotic, Chen Ping smiled with satisfaction: "Hmm, not bad, but not enough. Throw out some more gold and silver treasures, and that should be about right."
Bang bang bang!!!
Chen Ping kicked the treasure chest at his feet away, and instantly, the treasure inside spilled out, and everyone immediately began to scramble for it.
They might not take any action against Chen Ping, but it's a different story when it comes to their own people.
Jealousy, when it is distributed among everyone, will inevitably cause chaos. The reason is simple: once it is distributed, it will eventually overlap.
Sure enough, as a large amount of gold coins and jewels were scattered down, everyone immediately began to scramble for them, and a battle ensued.
The first competition began on the outermost edge. It started when one person grabbed a gold coin, while the person next to him grabbed two. The person who only got one gold coin was unhappy and jealousy welled up in his heart.
A cold light flashed in his hand as he thrust the sword straight into his opponent's waist.
"Hehehehe!!! You got more gold coins than me! Die!!!"
Needless to say, jealousy can distort a person, and the killing had already begun silently.
......
In the end, Chen Ping looked at the corpses scattered on the ground, and in the middle stood Jealousy, holding a magnificent longsword and covered in blood. Sure enough, the method was correct, and Jealousy had now become one with him.
The rest is simple. Sealing jealousy? That's easy. The sealing object is that ornate longsword, because that ornate longsword completed the entire process of jealousy gathering.
The sealing process went extremely smoothly. Chen Ping nodded in satisfaction and then put away his ornate longsword.
As envy was absorbed into the magnificent longsword, the sword instantly changed, and a mark representing envy immediately appeared on its blade.
With envy successfully sealed away, the scene shatters once more and is then covered by the new Seven Deadly Sins.
Chen Ping stroked his chin. Of the seven deadly sins, he had already collected four: wrath, lust, gluttony, and envy. He was still missing pride, sloth, and greed.
As the scene changed, Chen Ping looked around to see which of the three crimes it was.
Soon, Chen Ping knew which crime it was. The scene was a polarized town, with extremely arrogant nobles on one side and commoners who were like walking corpses on the other.
In this situation, there's no doubt that it's arrogance.
However, arrogance is hard to judge. The scene is a town, and the search area is quite large. Although the commoner area can be excluded, the noble area is also very large.
Shaking his head, Chen Ping decided to wander around and see how things went first.
After wandering around for most of the day, Chen Ping discovered that there was a quarantine zone between the commoners' area and the nobles' area, which was for commoners to pass through. Knights patrolled everywhere in the quarantine zone, and commoners were caught and executed without any leniency.
Strangely enough, despite the severe punishment, Chen Ping encountered at least seven or eight such smuggling incidents along his journey.
