This Cultivator Has A Dirty Heart

"This is 200,000 Spirit Stones. If this method doesn't work, I'll take your head."

Zhengxuan asked his disciples to bring over 200,000 Spirit Stones and handed them to Chen Luo.

Chen Luo accepted it immediately, and then began to make suggestions for Zhengxuan.

"Brother, before I tell you my plan, I want to ask you something."

"What's the matter?"

"Today, who can...I'm sorry for tampering with you."

"Ahem." Chen Luo coughed twice awkwardly, then immediately changed the topic and asked again.

“Why do people believe ‘rumors’?”

Zhengxuan was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he slowly spoke.

"Because he does have credibility."

Chen Luo nodded, "That's right, but not completely right."

Then, Chen Luo began to throw out his own theory.

"The so-called rumors use reality as the bones, conspiracy as the flesh, and eye-catching as the skin."

“They tend to be more story-like than truth, and more compelling than plain truth.”

Listening to Chen Luo's words, Zhengxuan seemed to have some insights.

"So, you want us to undermine the veracity of this rumor?"

Chen Luo shook his head, "No, I just think this is a cool thing to say, so I'll find a chance to say it."

Zhengxuan:......

"Let's get back to the point."

"It's still the same old question, why do people believe rumors?"

Chen Luo looked at Zhengxuan, but Zhengxuan seemed to have no intention of answering this time.

Seeing this, Chen Luo directly gave an explanation.

"In addition to what I just said above, there is another important reason. In fact, people lack choices."

"Lack of options?"

Zhengxuan was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't quite understand what Chen Luo meant.

Chen Luo nodded.

"Yes, people lack choices."

"To put it simply, I took out a piece of fruit from an opaque box and ate it. I told people that it was an apple."

"Most people will believe it because they feel that I don't need to lie to them, but a small number of people will remain more cautious and make some assertions before seeing the core of the apple."

"At this time, if someone stands up and says, what's inside is not an apple, but a pear. I've seen it before."

"At this time, people who didn't dare to confirm in the first place will doubt whether it is an apple or a pear inside, and some people who are not strong-willed will gradually start to believe that it is a pear inside."

Zhengxuan nodded, completely understanding Chen Luo's metaphor.

It’s nothing more than comparing the two current pieces of news to apples and pears.

The current situation is that they have issued a statement saying that it contains apples, but some people are still spreading the word that it contains pears.

After Zhengxuan thought for a while, he seemed to have some insights and spoke again.

“It doesn’t really matter whether it’s a pear or an apple inside.”

"What's really important is getting people to believe there's an apple inside."

After hearing Zhengxuan's words, Chen Luo had a helpless smile on his face.

What Zhengxuan thought was indeed a very good problem-solving idea, but for Chen Luo, it was not the best problem-solving idea.

"Senior brother, do you still remember the question I just asked at the beginning?"

Zhengxuan was stunned for a moment, then thought about it for a second, "Why do people believe the rumors?"

Chen Luo nodded, and then continued.

"Senior brother's idea is actually not impossible, but it is very troublesome, and it is likely to face the problem of a head-on confrontation with the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. It will cost the most and gain the least."

“If you want to solve a problem, it can often be achieved in three stages, just like soundproofing.

The first stage is the source of what happened.

The second stage is when things happen.

The third paragraph, the end of the matter. "

Zhengxuan thought again and seemed to have something to say, but he did not interrupt Chen Luo with anything.

"The source of our current situation cannot be solved, because Lou Qingyu has killed Qiu Fengli. This is an established fact, and what we can solve is the second and Rank Three sections."

"But the Rank Three section, which is the solution at the end, already knows it, so I won't mention it."

"Now I will focus on my plan, the intermediate solution."

With that said, Chen Luo walked aside and brought a small bench.

"What does this bench represent?"

Zhengxuan is like a student who loves learning. When he sees something he doesn't understand, he immediately asks questions.

Chen Luo looked at the bench and smiled.

"Oh, I just got tired from standing. Find a stool and sit down for a while."

Zhengxuan:......

He has forgotten how many times he was rendered speechless by Chen Luo.

"Going back to what I just said, why do people believe rumors? It's because they lack choices."

"After contacting me about the apples and pears I mentioned before, I will explain it to my senior brother again."

Chen Luo said and continued.

"No one has seen the contents of the box except me, but people can guess a part of his past through clues."

"Because there is no strong evidence, both apples and pears now have some supporters. In people's eyes, this is a question of tossing a coin, either heads or tails."

"What if at this moment, someone suddenly comes forward and says that the thing inside is neither an apple nor a pear, but a tomato?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhengxuan was stunned on the spot, and a switch in his mind seemed to be turned on.

Chen Luo couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this scene.

At first, he was worried that he would have to explain a lot before Zhengxuan would understand, but now it seems that he underestimated Zhengxuan's intelligence.

"Actually, senior brother fell into a thinking deadlock at the beginning. He was too obsessed with how to make people believe that the fruit in the box was apples."

"But actually our purpose is not to make people believe that the fruit inside is an apple, but to make people disbelieve that the fruit inside is a pear!"

"This is the crux of the problem. Don't limit the contents of the box to either pears or apples, but give more choices, such as blood red, bananas, watermelons, etc., as long as they have something to do with fruit. Yes, pull them all out.”

“Don’t stop rumors, but create new ones.”

"When there are more fruits to choose from, naturally fewer people pay attention to pears, and most people are actually stupid and blind."

"If there are only two choices, they might flip a coin, but if there are a hundred choices, the official recommendation might be a good choice for them."

"And as the rumors increase, we can release some very nonsense rumors in a timely manner."

"For example, the thing in the box is not fruit, but a monkey, or an elephant."

"As the rumors become more and more nonsense, people's attitude towards him is not to compare him with the truth, but to take it for fun."

"This is called overdrafting the credibility of rumors."
