The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast

Chapter 641 480: Huai Shoucheng's Gamble

The existence of the system is quite special.

In Coastal City, as long as your credit level is sufficient, you can not only buy many non-sale items with Daxia Coins that you can't buy elsewhere but also convert digital currencies like Daxia Coins and Credit Points, essentially backed by national credit, into real and reliable power.

It's even greatly beneficial for Six-Star and Seven-Star beings.

So it returns to the old routine.

How do money and credit level come about? Of course, it's each family's industrial chain, with products being sold to other cities domestically, and even overseas.

In fact, there are quite a few foreign Spirit Masters in Coastal City, many of whom come to negotiate large transactions.

As a pinnacle nation, Great Xia's many potions, spiritual artifacts, and other necessities are imported as treasures through spiritual material trades by Spirit Masters from other countries due to their superior quality and excellent technology.

But before experiencing them, most people can't distinguish the specific quality of products.

If your family's heir is stronger, the goods appear more reliable, attracting more buyers.

Whether it's out of youthful vigor or for other reasons, competition and comparison are fundamental human competitive urges. Even if everyone's ultimate goal is to fight against the Demon Race, such competition is inevitable, and fighting in the end is understandable.

Lisa's golden-green eyes showed a curious expression: "If there are differences in levels and such, how should it be calculated?"

Remyu explained knowledgeably: "When agreeing to a challenge match, you can discuss the conditions in advance, using spiritual artifacts or something to level the playing field... as long as both parties accept it."

"Hmm, speaking of which, there's something related to you in the posts by this bunch of people."

"…?"

Remyu extended her slender fingers, swiped twice on the screen, and clicked into a post still trending on the hot list.

[To be honest, doesn't it feel like Lin Guang is really reigning supreme in this session? The three major families in Zhen Sheng City don't seem to be doing well.]

[Post date: Three days ago]

[Wasn't the champion of the last provincial competition in Fenghai Province from the Huai Family in Zhen Sheng City? Isn't that significant? Feels like intentional provocation.]

[Honestly, the last provincial competition in Fenghai Province was nothing impressive. It was like picking the tallest among the short ones, not at the same level as the current session.]

[Even Yin Long, who went to Xingtian Academy, feels like he could rival this year's other provincial champions, let alone Lin Guang.]

Vishdair licked her lips, a pleased expression on her pretty face: "Ha, this post seems quite impartial."

However, Lin Guang's brows slightly furrowed.

If it's just at this level, there's no way it would stay hot for three days?

Could it be...

He took Remyu's phone and started scrolling quickly, looking at the replies below.

[Speaking of, it seems Lin Guang and the three major families in Zhen Sheng City have been at odds from the start.]

[It's quite normal; families targeting civilian geniuses are everywhere. Not holding a grudge means you're a saint.]

[But it seems they've never succeeded and were always countered by Lin Guang.]

[It's said that Lin Guang's teacher mercilessly rejected his request to become an apprentice and then accepted Lin Guang directly.]

[Wouldn't you accept Lin Guang instead of someone else if you were in that position?]

[Indeed]

[I see Huai Shoucheng is like a dog in front of Lin Guang.]

[Over the next three years, better avoid Lin Guang, or you might get targeted to death.]

[You can't say that, don't completely underestimate him. At least he was a champion, a not-weak genius who might attempt to challenge Lin Guang. After all, the gap is arguably the smallest now.]

[Does that monster Lin Guang dare to challenge others after taking on eighty opponents at once? That takes a lot of courage.]

The subsequent replies were almost unanimously supportive of Lin Guang.

However, Lin Guang paused slightly.

—Kaelis was indeed approached by Huai Shoucheng seeking apprenticeship initially; this is true.

But the problem is, the Huai Family would not openly disclose such an embarrassing matter, and Principal Liu wouldn't do something so trivial.

...How do they know about this?

Where did they get their information sources?

Who are these people stirring the pot, knowing even such minor details?

Plus, with Lin Guang himself being highly discussed, the post's popularity naturally stayed high.

Although there are many rumors, even things Lin Guang had never heard of, some truths are undeniable—for instance, the feud with his cousin Huai Shouren was even mentioned.

Remyu noticed Lin Guang's reaction and was also puzzled: "Huh, are these all true?"

"That Huai Shouren... It's his luck he's alive today." Vishdair crossed her arms, revenge glinting in her beautiful eyes, "If killing wasn't forbidden in the city, he'd have died a hundred times over."

Even Lisa's face rarely showed displeasure: "He's... very annoying!"

Lin Guang hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "It's not far from the truth."

The red-haired girl widened her eyes: "Ah, even you say that, which means they really have their own information channels."

"I'm not familiar with other people mentioned in those posts, but if they're saying this, it must be true, right? Otherwise, there wouldn't be fights."

"Who are these people posting..."

"Information... challenge matches...?"

Chelina also fell into thought.

After some deep pondering without conclusions, Remyu's expression brightened again: "Actually, it's not that bad."

"From what they're saying, Lin Guang, you didn't do anything wrong! Instead, you fiercely slapped those bullies in the face!"
