Chapter 22: The Complaining People
*“After more than half a month, pharmaceutical stocks have been hit again!”*
*“So far, the stock price of the largest pharmaceutical giant, Yiyao Group, has shrunk by sixty-five percent from its peak, with over one trillion in funds evaporated!”*
*“Yi Chen, the killer in the pharmaceutical industry!”*
*“The establishment of thousands of skill research institutes is just a joke; combined, they are no match for a single Yi Chen!”*
*“We predicted long ago that Yi Chen is the founder of this cultivation method and also the only pioneer and trailblazer!”*
While the pharmaceutical industry was full of sorrow, and the public felt extremely gloomy, major news outlets across the entire Milky Way welcomed a grand feast.
Each major news website pushed out front-page headlines desperately.
Every update brought in terrifying and explosive traffic.
“It’s over; it was all just a false alarm!”
“I had a feeling that these skill research institutes would take too long to release new skills. I never expected that my intuition would come true…”
“From now on, I will respectfully call Yi Chen ‘God Yi’! With his own strength, he has destroyed over a thousand skill research institutes; his talent in creating skills is divine!”
“In the field of cultivation, Yi Chen has indeed reached an incredibly astonishing height. I never would have imagined that in the end, over a thousand skill research institutes, costing billions, would end up with nothing!”
In Yi Chen’s live room, the number of viewers skyrocketed to hundreds of billions in a short time.
Everyone was filled with complaints.
They poured scorn on the various skill research institutes.
“I’m so frustrated; I have already broken through to the first level of Spirit Release, yet I remain stagnant. That means to advance to the second level of Spirit Release, I still have to rely on Yi Chen to have a sudden inspiration and record the improved version of the Chaos Technique?”
“Breaking through to the first level of Spirit Release so quickly makes the person upstairs a genius as well! Not attracted by the high salaries offered by the skill research institutes, joining them has turned out to be a blessing in disguise.”
“Indeed, it can be considered a blessing; those talented individuals who joined the research institutes have suffered irreparable damage to their meridians and Qi Sea.”
“Even if they could receive high compensation, no amount of money can buy back life. Breaking through to the first level of Spirit Release could increase one’s lifespan by one hundred and twenty years. If they manage to break through to the ninth level of Spirit Release and reach higher realms, their lifespan limit could increase by another one hundred and twenty years.”
“Breaking through to the ninth level of Spirit Release and reaching higher realms? You really can indulge in foolish fantasies. Right now, the biggest headache is when we can get our hands on the improved version of the Chaos Technique.”
"Hoping that Yi Chen will have a sudden inspiration and record the improved version of the Chaos Technique is wishful thinking. The only hope lies with the people of the Flame Mountain Tribe; after they break through to the first level of Spirit Release, maybe Yi Chen will announce the improved version of the Chaos Technique.”
“But even that has many uncertain factors.”
“First of all, what are Yi Chen’s thoughts?”
“He might only want to publish the first generation of the Chaos Technique, allowing the tribe members to break through to the first level of Spirit Release and gain some self-protection abilities. He might not intend to pass down all his hidden techniques to the tribe, adding instability to his rule.”
“Secondly, as the tribe members of the Flame Mountain Tribe improve their strength and can defeat fierce beasts on their own, will they still maintain their reverence for Yi Chen?”
“Even though the high priest has begun to deify Yi Chen, a sudden boost in power inevitably leads to arrogance and a change in mindset.”
“If the tribe’s members cannot maintain their respect for Yi Chen as their strength increases,”
“Then, with Yi Chen’s personality, even if he intends to teach the improved version of the Chaos Technique, he would likely dismiss that thought.”
“While this situation is not very likely, it is not impossible either.”
“So, those who want to learn the improved version of the Chaos Technique must pray that when Yi Chen is willing to teach it to the Flame Mountain Tribe, the tribe members will have enough determination to avoid angering him!”
Everyone sighed deeply.
The skill research institute lost all hope.
To break through to the second level of Spirit Release, they could only hope that Yi Chen would be willing to teach the improved version of the Chaos Technique to the Flame Mountain Tribe.
Only then could they continue to learn the improved version of the Chaos Technique.
However, there were many uncertainties involved in this plan.
Whether it could be realized depended on luck.
Soon, someone had a brilliant idea and proposed a new plan.
“Do you think we could rescue Yi Chen from the exile planet, let him announce the improved version of the Chaos Technique, or even let him focus on creating skills and then share them?”
“This idea… seems feasible!”
“Feasible, my foot! The exile planet is known as the federal government’s most secure prison. For thousands of years, no prisoner has ever escaped.”
“But the existence of the exile planet also brings great controversy. The most debated point is that the descendants of heavy criminals are stripped of all human rights, just like these criminals.”
“Back then, the entire federation was in an uproar about this. In the end, they still decided to continue.”
“Because the exile planet is indeed the perfect prison. Not only can no one escape from there, but the living conditions are terrible, making it the greatest punishment after the abolition of the death penalty for heavy criminals.”
“If the descendants of heavy criminals are not stripped of all human rights, it means they have to be brought out. There are just too many variables in this, and it would cost a fortune.”
“Considering Yi Chen’s character, how would he feel if he knew he was inexplicably deprived of his rights for over ten years?”
“With his personality, how would he react if he learned that hundreds of billions of people watched him daily, even learning the skills he created without his permission?”
“Keep in mind, he is the founder of this cultivation method. Moreover, the skills he created are incredibly miraculous. It’s possible he could create a set of skills that would allow him to control the spirits of those who learned them.”
“Furthermore, he is the grandson of Yi Tenglóng. Many remnants of Yi Tenglóng still lurk in the shadows; once Yi Chen is brought out…”
“With Yi Chen’s personality, intellect, talent, and ambition, he would undoubtedly bring about an unpredictable turmoil and disaster for all humanity.”
“Indeed, if we were to bring Yi Chen out, even without all those messy factors, given his character and ambition, he would never simply act as a tool focused on creating skills.”
The newly proposed plan briefly sparked hope in the eyes of many people.
But soon, it was completely debunked.
As for other plans, there were indeed more ideas.
However, due to their limited perspective, ordinary people, despite having smart individuals among them, could not think of them.
No one knew that while everyone complained, the top wealthy individuals and powerful figures were brewing a new storm.
