Beauty and the Bodyguard

Suddenly, public opinion changed drastically.

Even if the trolls supported by the strongest faction went all out, racking their brains to cover up Kong Shenglin, and even tried every means to artificially create trending news in order to divert the public's focus, it was of no use in the face of the overwhelming tide of public opinion.

There is no way, the strongest faction has done too many evil things, and they just deal with it in normal times. Once public opinion starts to backfire, it cannot be manipulated by human means at all.

Ultimately, there are too many people who want to see the strongest faction suffer misfortune.

However, if it is just a backlash from public opinion, it will not hurt the bones of the strongest faction.

What really hurt them was the defection of a group of god-level academies!

Including Jianghai College, there are a total of 174 divine colleges in the alliance. These divine colleges maintain their independence in name, but in fact, they have long been divided up by a group of giants on the Supreme Board of Directors.

Without the protection of a giant behind the scenes, each of these god-level colleges that have joined the alliance would be just a piece of fat.

The power and strength of the god-level academy are only for ordinary practitioners. Once they encounter those giant-level forces, or powerful departments like the Alliance Security Bureau, they will be wiped out in minutes.

Therefore, every god-level college will seek the protection of a giant.

The most intuitive way to seek asylum is to pay monthly payments to the boss, which is the so-called payment of protection fees.

The terrifying thing about the strongest faction is that among the 174 god-level colleges, there are fully 135 that pay protection fees to them every month!

This is an absolutely overwhelming advantage!

The remaining giants, including the two top giants Gu Jiumu and Chu Hantian, can hardly even drink hot soup, let alone meat.

However, within just three days after this regular meeting, forty-seven god-level colleges announced that they would stop supplying funds to the strongest factions, and this was only the first wave of supply cuts.

Although the real signs had already appeared when the senior college officials who were pro-strongest faction were dismissed collectively, the impact on public opinion was not as huge as it is now.

It was not until this moment that the general public suddenly realized that something was really going to change.

"Another thirty-five god-level colleges have announced that they will cut off funding?"

Looking at the intelligence summary sent by Zhao Xian, Lin Yi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "The dominoes fell much faster than I expected."

Zhao Xian said sternly: "The world has been suffering from the strongest faction for a long time. No one dared to stand up and challenge it before. Now that the strongest faction is showing signs of decline, it is natural that the wall will fall and everyone will push it. The first wave has forty-seven, and the second wave Thirty-five companies, and there will be a third and fourth wave later.”

"When everyone sees which way the wind is blowing, the days of the strongest faction will be over."

"At that time, it won't be that the wall falls and everyone pushes it down, but that a group of wolves will eat the evil tiger."

Lin Yi shook his head noncommittally: "It won't be that easy."

Although the current situation is very good, it even feels like the strongest faction will fall apart at any time, but in fact, all this is just an illusion.

Before Kong Shenglin collapses, no matter how good the situation is, it may be reversed in an instant.

Everything is illusion.

Lin Yi was fully aware of this.

Zhao Xian secretly admired him, and then handed over another form: "This is the public opinion monitoring in recent days. The voice of the strongest faction has dropped off a cliff, while your voice has been rising all the way, and it is already higher than that of other ordinary giants. , it is generally believed that you are the number one person among the top giants."

"oh?"

Lin Yi's heart moved slightly, and he immediately used the will of the world to examine the luck on his head. Sure enough, he had broken through a hundred previous bottlenecks.

According to what Gu Jiumu said, the upper limit of luck is related to the realm of strength. The limit of the Yellow-level Dzogchen Master is one hundred. Now that Lin Yi is the peak master of the mid-Xuan level, the limit is naturally more than that, but in the end it can be reached. To what extent is still unknown.

In addition, the amount of luck is closely related to the recognition of heaven, and public opinion will also affect the recognition of heaven to a certain extent.

In other words, this itself is part of the approval of Heaven.

Now, as the voice became louder, Lin Yi found that the luck on his head was rising at a speed visible to the naked eye, which was a piece of evidence for this theory.

And this also pointed out the direction for him to obtain luck next.

The only pity is that now that I have been promoted to a Xuan-level venerable, it is not that convenient to pick up the wool of the artificial order that a Xuan-level venerable cannot be challenged beyond his level.

Suddenly, a bold idea came into Lin Yi's mind.

"You want to create an artificial order of your own?"

Jiang Xiaoshang was speechless after hearing his idea: "The idea is good. This is indeed the most efficient way for human cultivators to harvest their luck, but it is a pity that you can't use this method now."

Lin Yi frowned: "Why can't you use it?"

Jiang Xiaoshang glanced at him with disdain: "Man-made order, you can simply understand it as the imperial edict of the secular dynasty. It can only take effect if no one dares to touch it. So there is a minimum prerequisite. You must first become the emperor and have the authority to maintain it." The strength of rules and order, do you meet this standard now?"

Lin Yi was speechless.

Even though he is now very popular and his strength has also skyrocketed, he is still far away from truly reaching the top of the pyramid.

At least until the strongest faction that overthrew Kong Shenglin, there was no need to think about such a thing.

Lin Yi thought for a while and said: "So, if I want to gain luck now, I can only go to sway public opinion?"

"If you can find another artificial order and exploit the loopholes like before, that's fine. It just depends on whether you have that kind of luck."

Jiang Xiaoshang paused and said with great interest: "How are you going to sway public opinion?"

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment: "How else can I do it? It's just to use my strength to break their perception of me little by little and raise my level in their minds. Is there any other way?"

As a result, Jiang Xiaoshang looked contemptuous.

"Thankfully you are from the secular world. Don't you want to study the superb methods of manipulating public opinion in the secular world?"

"Those methods put here are all proper dimensionality reduction attacks."

"Instead of upgrading step by step, it's better to find an opportunity to have a good discussion to ensure that you get twice the result with half the effort!"

Lin Yi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Are you sure?"

Jiang Xiaoshang chuckled: "How can you know if some things will work if you don't try them?"

Lin Yi understood this and immediately withdrew from the new world, pulled Tianji over, and without saying a word began to study the layout of public opinion.
