Chapter 455: Too Weird
After Dad left, the entire pharmacist industry in Coral City seemed a lot bleaker.
There is no more famous pharmacist in Coral City.
Of course, Su Xia is somewhat famous, but basically has a bad reputation.
He will always be labeled "genius" and "selling out his teacher for personal gain". It seems that the two labels have been glued to his name with strong glue and follow him wherever he goes.
Some people envied him, while others scolded him and wished he would be ruined immediately.
And now, Sijidao has created an opportunity that may completely ruin Su Xia's reputation.
The key to all this lies in Sijidao’s teacher, the fifth-level pharmacist.
"You are the one who wants to challenge me?" Su Xia looked at the old man with a calm expression.
"It's me."
Li Mu's voice was hoarse and his body was hunched, and he seemed a little helpless, but he had followed Sijidao after all.
Now that things have come to this, we must move on.
This challenge actually doesn't bring much benefit to him.
Even if he won, many people would say that he won unfairly and used his age and experience advantages to bully Su Xia, a newcomer.
And if he lost, the result would be predictable, he would become the laughing stock of the entire Coral City.
As a fifth-level pharmacist, he is not even as good as a new pharmacist. How can he have the face to stay in the pharmacist industry in Coral City?
"At your age, it seems that you shouldn't go out and show your face in public." Su Xia said lightly.
"Just consider it as the last thing I do for this disciple. I apologize for any offense I have caused you before. Master Su, please forgive me." Li Mu sighed lightly and said nothing more.
The exchange between the two was brief. Since they were both pharmacists, there was no point in saying more.
Li Defu and others on the side had started cursing again, each word more unpleasant than the last, cursing all of Sijidao's ancestors.
"Bah! How shameless!"
Li Defu pointed at Sijidao's nose. If he wasn't wearing a mecha, his saliva would definitely spray on Sijidao's face.
He cursed angrily, "I thought it was you and Brother Su competing one-on-one, but I didn't expect it was your master! How old is your master? How many years has he been a pharmacist? How many days has Brother Su only been a pharmacist?"
"Haha, this kind of competition makes people laugh just by talking about it!" Snow echoed from the side.
"An old man challenging a newcomer? Tsk tsk, only someone as shameless as you and your disciple Sijidao can do such a thing!" Bing Lei said with disdain.
"Is everything recorded?"
"After we go back, we must promote Four Seasons Rice and let everyone know how shameless he is!"
"Don't worry, Boss, we're recording the whole process!"
The players of the Resistance Alliance burst into laughter, as if they were all laughing at the shameless behavior of Sijidao and others.
After laughing, there were more words of rebuke, contempt, and curses. The players belonging to the Resistance Alliance spoke out one after another, criticizing Sijidao and others from all angles.
However, Master Lu and others were still arguing and loudly refuting what everyone said.
"Su Xia's position is not legitimate. He doesn't deserve the title of 'Master' at all! We are just correcting the wrongs!"
"In the entire Coral City, only Mr. Li Mu deserves the title of master . What virtue and ability does Su Xia have?"
Master Lu spoke eloquently, one moment talking about personal character, the next about the ability of potions, trying every possible way to make this competition seem more legitimate.
Beside him, the players belonging to his team were also loudly refuting and arguing with the players who were rebelling against the alliance.
"Who stipulated that competitions must be held between people of the same generation?" someone shouted.
"Our focus is not on the competition, but the title of 'Master'. Does someone like Su Xia, who sells his skills for fame, really deserve this title?"
"Yes, we just can't stand villains like Su Xia!"
"There is only one true master in Coral City!"
The two sides exchanged saliva with each other, and the dense saliva was like a rain in the old street.
I have to say that occupying the moral high ground is quite useful, so both sides got half of it.
Li Defu and others always focused on the issue of age, and kept on scolding Sijidao and others for their shameless behavior.
However, Sijidao and others seized on the word "master" and refuted it from another angle.
However, the voices on the scene were ultimately louder from Li Defu and his group, because their arguments were clearer and more easily incited the other players who were watching.
However, people like Sijidao seem to be making specious arguments.
Gradually, third-party players who were watching also started to join in the scolding.
"No matter how you look at it, Sijidao and the others are shameless. If we continue to do as they say, we will have no fun in the future!" someone said loudly.
"Yeah, once you become famous in a certain field, do you have to be challenged by the veterans in this field? If everyone plays like this, all industries will be in chaos!"
"That old man is so shameless. He is so old, but he still comes out to steal the limelight from the young people!"
More and more voices expressed support for Li Defu and others, and gradually became the mainstream.
In the final analysis, players all hate Four Seasons Rice's forced challenge method.
If they don't support Su Xia today, will someone use the same trick on them in the future? Will anyone still support them then?
As time passed, Li Defu's voice gradually overwhelmed Sijidao's and began to gain the upper hand.
This is also the method used by Li Defu and his team - to confuse the matter and let Su Xia successfully leave the center of the storm!
"Both sides have started to rant. The more confused this matter is, the better. This will allow Brother Su to get out of everyone's attention and create opportunities for him!"
I have to say that Li Defu and his team's move was very successful.
By the end, after both sides had been scolding each other, few people cared about the competition anymore. They all started to curse each other's ancestors without any restraint, and cursed whatever they thought of.
However, on the side of Sijidao, some players also felt that they were unreasonable and felt a little embarrassed.
As a result, their voices became smaller and smaller, causing the gap between the two sides to further widen.
In the end, both Sijidao and Master Lu realized that something was wrong, but it was too late to control the situation.
“Stop!”
"Stop it now!"
"What are you scolding for? What's the point of scolding? Are we that kind of superficial people?"
Master Lu immediately organized a group of team members, some of whom shouted loudly, while others tagged everyone in the player communication group to stop this endless quarrel.
But how smart are Li Defu and others? They will not give Master Lu this opportunity!
"The chaos must continue!"
The roommates looked at each other and nodded, confirming each other's thoughts.
We have lived together for so long, there is no need to communicate in the group, a look is enough!
As for how the chaos will continue?
In this kind of situation, Li Defu will naturally take action!
"Ouch! Who hit me?" Li Defu suddenly yelled, "Ah! It hurts so much!"
He suddenly covered his heart and screamed in a shrill voice. He wailed continuously and his body swayed as if he would collapse miserably at any time.
In order to appear realistic, he even removed the head module of the mecha to reveal his painful expression.
“He…”
This exaggerated acting skill left several roommates stunned.
His wailing voice was comparable to some exaggerated stage plays of the old times.
Even Su Xia's face twitched, and she unconsciously thought of some characters in Shakespeare's four great tragedies. Li Defu's sad expression gave her a feeling of Hamlet crying out "to be or not to be" on the stage.
“It hurts! It hurts so much!”
Li Defu stretched out his hand tremblingly, his face full of pain, as if he wanted to grab something.
He staggered, looking up to the sky and crying out, "Why? We were just having a friendly exchange. A gentleman should use words, not fists. Why did you hit me? Oh... you hit me, and the pain is in my heart!"
"What? Defu was beaten?" He Lie stood aside with a shocked expression.
"Damn it, who bullied us brothers?" Yu Wen Shuxue yelled and took out a knife on the spot.
"Damn it, these people couldn't win the argument with us, so they attacked us from behind and severely injured Defu!" He Ju had a face full of anger and murderous intent, staring at the people of the Sijidao team fiercely.
The three of them spoke one after another, coordinating their actions perfectly and instantly aroused the emotions of both sides.
"Damn it, you actually dared to attack Brother Defu, who gave you the courage?"
On the Alliance side, some players shouted loudly.
"Let's fight, what do you want?" The players on Sijidao's side naturally refused to show weakness.
"Damn it, you really want to fight, right?"
"Why are you talking nonsense to them?"
"If you want to fight, do it now. I just feel like fighting!"
There was no need to say too much, players on both sides took out their weapons one after another, the scene became tense in an instant, and a big battle was about to break out.
“Shameless!”
Sijidao was shaking all over, his face almost turning the color of liver from anger.
Anyone can see that Li Defu is acting. It’s such an exaggerated performance. If you can’t see it, then you’ve lived a dog’s life!
But the other party pretended not to notice anything and directly accused them of a sneak attack, hoping to make the matter worse.
"He's wearing a mecha, who can beat him?" Sijidao was almost vomiting blood out of anger, but Li Defu's health bar didn't decrease at all!
He pointed at Li Defu, furious, and roared: "Even if you want to sneak attack, you should choose a suitable target. Who would be so stupid as to sneak attack a man in a mecha?"
"That's not right!" Yuwen Shuxue refuted righteously, "What if the players in your team are really so brainless?"
"Yes, everyone knows that you are all bastards with underdeveloped brains!"
"You didn't admit it after you hit me. Is this the style of your team?"
North, Bing Lei and others spoke up one after another, directly occupying the moral high ground. Both of them had a sad and angry expression on their faces, standing there pointing and criticizing.
"you……"
Sijidao's eyes turned red as if they were about to spit fire, and the anger that he had suppressed with great difficulty broke out again.
Behind him, many players couldn't help themselves and were filled with anger.
Anyway, you won't really die in this world, so what's the point of saying so much?
Just a waste of time!
"Let's fight!" someone shouted, raising the sharp weapon in his hand.
"That's right! Then let's fight!"
"Show the truth with your own hands!"
The players on both sides roared, the flames of war broke out, and they all crashed into each other with roars.
Not long after the game was launched, the two sides had their first conflict. After that, the conflicts became more and more numerous and became so deep that they could not be resolved. Almost every time they had to be ended with blood.
At present, the battlefield between the two camps is no longer limited to the game.
In game forums, on official websites, and even in the comment sections of some game anchors, you can see players from the two camps scolding each other.
“Crack—”
White knives went in, red knives came out, corpses fell one after another, and the whole old street was instantly filled with a strong smell of blood.
Both sides have hatred, not only the hatred between the camps, but also many small teams within the camp have hatred against each other's small teams.
"Damn it, last time in the Dark Soul Cave, it was you bastards who followed us and stole the mineral deposits we worked so hard to obtain!" On the side of the Resistance Alliance, a player's eyes immediately turned red when he saw his long-standing enemy.
"Bullshit, we were clearly the first to discover that map!" a player on the other side also roared.
There was an irreconcilable hatred between the two sides. When the enemies met, they were extremely jealous of each other and rushed towards each other on the spot.
Such scenes are happening in every corner of the old street.
"Old Five, how does it feel to betray Sijidao?" A player in the crowd shouted, "Last time you stole Pharmacist Su's potion and refused to admit it. All these years of brotherhood, it turns out that it's not worth the money for a few potions!"
"Brother, you said it yourself, it's just a few potions!" The player named Lao Wu yelled, "Just for such a small amount of things, you are scolding me in front of everyone. Have you ever considered my face?"
"When you steal, you throw your dignity under your feet!"
"roll!"
The two sides were originally brothers and worked in the same studio.
However, because of the incident of stealing medicine during the chaos at Suxia Pharmacy last time, the studio was divided.
Some members stole things but refused to apologize to Su Xia in front of everyone. Some even left the studio on the spot and joined Sijidao's camp.
Today, both sides regard each other as enemies, and the brotherhood of the past is long gone.
On the old street, the confrontation between the two camps was extremely fierce. The smell of blood and smoke became increasingly thicker, and roars and curses were heard one after another.
Su Xia, who was originally the center of the storm, now has nothing to do.
It seemed that everyone had forgotten about the Four Seasons Rice Challenge and why they were here.
It’s not that there were people who rushed towards Su Xia and tried to kill him, but once they got within three meters of Su Xia, their health bars would inexplicably drop to zero and they would fall to the ground and die on the spot.
This strange death made Su Xia's area a restricted area, and almost no one dared to approach.
"Damn, that Su Xia is too weird. Does he have a built-in death domain?" Master Lu couldn't help but say as he watched this scene.
"Try long-range attack..."
