Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1101: Chapter 1100: Irresistible Temptation

Still the same words, efficiency!

Su Luoxue’s efficiency is top-notch. As soon as Lu Xiaobu finished speaking, she spread the news!

Instantly!

Almost visibly, the entire discussion came to a halt!

It even seemed like everyone heard the sound of swallowing echoing from the void—gulp!

First prize, ten million reward!

Second prize, one million reward!

Even the third prize has a reward of a hundred thousand!

They are not like Lu Xiaobu, treating money like it’s not money!

As mentioned before, they are so broke that they’re plotting all sorts of schemes for interests that might not even be tangible, who wouldn’t want so much money now?!

Besides, there’s no first in literature, no second in martial arts, that’s not a lie.

In martial arts, if you know you can’t beat someone, you just can’t!

But when it comes to literature?!

Whichever one claims to be a literati doesn’t think they’re the best in the world?!

Even if not the best, they could at least be the third in the world, right?!

Hundred thousand bucks?! Why not take it?!

As for previous integrity?! Spirit?! Perseverance?!

To hell with that, don’t want it!

In this era, people laugh at poverty, not prostitution. Who the hell is still holding onto those things?!

So, instantly, the true fragrance principle is everywhere!

”Ahem, well I think, actually Lu Xiaobu is quite qualified, after all, those articles are indeed remarkable, even the great scribes of ancient times might leave behind just a few essays in a lifetime!”

”Yeah! The guy does have a bit of qualification, though he didn’t discuss with the Literature Association, but at most, it’s just overstepping for the good of all, for a more regulated literary circle, that’s not a big deal, right!”

”Right! Right! The current literary scene is too chaotic, look at the rich list?! How great it would be to have a literary ranking!”

”Indeed, indeed!”

”...”

Of course, there are still those who are genuinely at odds with Lu Xiaobu and are stubborn!

”You guys, don’t you have any shame left?! For money, you even give up your literary integrity?!”

”Just because it’s Lu Xiaobu, you all bow and scrape?! What kind of literati are you?!”

”Disgraceful acts! You don’t deserve to call yourselves literati!”

”...”

However, though they spoke righteously, others didn’t just sit idly by!

Litterateurs, what are they?!

They play with words and rhetoric!

To them, black is white is like a game!

Arguing?! That’s no challenge at all!

So!

”You’re just being stubborn! What’s wrong with Lu Xiaobu?! What can’t he do?! In public matters, Lu Xiaobu is full of righteousness, doing more than you can imagine! I won’t elaborate on specific issues! Personally, his articles are timeless classics, how many of you can achieve that?!”

”Exactly, the guy spends money to clean up the literary atmosphere, so what?! And here you are, criticizing?! If you have the ability, you also spend money!”

”Taking advantage and complaining, playing the victim! Who does that?! You despise his money now! When you took on private jobs before, why didn’t you mention it?!”

”Yin Zikun, not to mention anything far, didn’t you make quite a sum from a company ribbon-cutting last month? Two or three thousand was it?!”

”Tao Ji, and you, heard yesterday you wrote a few words, and the tip was several thousand?!”

”And the worst, Hang Zhimin! I heard last week, you hand-copied an essay and earned tens of thousands! Moreover, the essay wasn’t anything else! It’s Lu Xiaobu’s ’Youthful Heavenly Dynasty’! When you used his work to make money, why didn’t you mention these things?! Now you pretend?! Do you have the right?!”

”...”

This bunch started exposing old scandals, the literary circle isn’t small, but it’s not big either!

Plus, they all have a knack for pretentiousness!

So when there’s any commotion, everyone is aware!

What’s the deal?! You flaunted like crazy when making money, now that we want to earn some, you act like hypocrites!

Why talk nonsense then?!

Cutting someone off financially is like killing their parents, and this isn’t just in business, it’s more brutal in the literary world!

The income wasn’t much to start with, finally scored something big, and now you’re not pleased!

Upon hearing these old scandals, those objecting became furious!

They couldn’t support Lu Xiaobu, directly engaging in verbal battles with these people!

All sorts of exposés came pouring out!

The onlookers had a field day!

”No way! Seriously?! This Bai Jinhong actually snatched someone’s wife?!”

”Chai Mia’an secretly sold his own works?! I heard they were hard to get, turns out it’s all hype!”

”And that Song Houfa, with that ugly calligraphy, I always thought it was trash! So many claimed it’s good, but it was all fake, they thought it’s ugly too!”

”Damn it! We’ve been fooled for so long! The literary atmosphere is truly crummy!”

”Exactly! Time to clean it up!”

”Support Lu Xiaobu in organizing a ranking! Weed out this junk!”

”...”

Lu Xiaobu, at this moment, was munching on melon seeds, watching the exposés!

”Whoa, this is explosive! Didn’t expect it to be so lively?!”

”And, Luo Xue, check this out! My goodness, so bold! Even being a mistress! No shame at all!”

”Damn! Embezzling education funds?! Luo Xue, order an investigation, if true, sue them all! From principal to teachers, fire them all!”

Lu Xiaobu was watching and commenting!

Sometimes there were really outrageous exposés!

Like just now, openly embezzling educational funds, which was for the salary payment of teachers initiated by Lu Xiaobu!

What?! Just because it’s not Shimen, you can do whatever you want?!

Fire them all!

He was having a blast, while the two old guys were utterly disheartened!

Are these people fools?!

Before, you could at least uphold some integrity to resist Lu Xiaobu, and now?!

Lu Xiaobu throws a bit of bait, and you start exposing each other’s dirt!

Now, the whole mess of the literary world is all exposed!

If Lu Xiaobu proposes to reform the literary world, who dares not to agree?!

Anyone who disagrees has issues, investigate to the end, and fire them all!

Don’t think Lu Xiaobu is bluffing, didn’t you see a principal was fired just like that!

What do you count for?!

Those with problems were scared!

Even those without problems were more frightened!

They fear how this turmoil might affect them, so they’d surely find ways to clear their names!

How to clear names?!

Join Lu Xiaobu’s ranking, of course!

Look! Look!

Lu Xiaobu didn’t even bother counting on you, a slight maneuver and you’re all deceived!

But honestly, that prize money is damn tempting!
