Sweeping both worlds: Starting from idealistic martial arts

Chapter 523 The Great Chorus of Hakimi!

There is an ancient Chinese idiom called "路道以目" (lù dào yǐ mù).

In ancient times, King Li of Zhou was cruel and tyrannical, and the people cursed him.

Duke Mu of Shao said to King Li, "The people can no longer endure the tyrannical decrees!"

King Li was furious when he heard this. He found a shaman from the state of Wei and sent him to secretly monitor anyone who dared to criticize him. If the shaman betrayed him, he would kill them all.

As a result, people dared not speak casually, and when they met on the road, they could only express their resentment with their eyes.

This is also the origin of the idiom "to communicate with one's eyes on the road".

Every era has its own set of secret codes and coded terms within its cultural sphere, the meanings of which are diametrically opposed when viewed from outside the sphere versus inside it.

At this moment, Fang Can and others are using traditional Chinese style DJing to convey their message to the young internet surfers.

As a seventh-level cultivator, although his power has been weakened to the level of a mortal, his singing skills are still at the peak that humans can appreciate.

As the melodious strains of "Weak Water Three Thousand" emanated from the throats of three singers in a seven-turn chorus, the audience was momentarily transported to a celestial realm, their ears momentarily soothed by celestial music.

As for the songs sung by Fang Can and others, whether it was the host's eccentricity, the judges' incoherent remarks and ramblings, or the affirmative side's current state of mind, everyone looked completely bewildered.

The song is indeed beautiful, but then what? What are you trying to say?
Yuan Yan tried his best to understand the meaning of the lyrics, but found that it was just an ordinary ancient-style song.

But those who have never been involved in the internet abstract authentication circle simply don't understand that this song itself is just a trigger, like a clarion call to launch an authentication charge.

As the saying goes, Fang Can leads you through the door, but the proof is up to you.

The people who should really be beheaded are those who make wild associations with this song.

The author cleverly employs a series of schemes, leading the reader astray to the guillotine!

While the group was completely bewildered, the live stream chat had already entered a frenzy of verification.

"A royal flush at the start!" "Details on the right!"

"Look, they're singing again!" "A grand chorus of details!"

"Completely baffled by the details!" "The details are as numerous as the ocean!" "Suddenly, I understand!"

"The details are so unsettling!"

……

As soon as Fang Can started the discussion, the scene erupted in cheers.

But in the next moment, the background music changed, and Fang Can's style shifted abruptly...

"I followed the aroma of the pastries and came to the middle of the street~"

"Seeing peddlers everywhere on the street, I'll find a lucky one~~~"

'The song has changed again...' The affirmative side, the host, and the judges were all taken aback.

"In the tranquil ancient city, listen to the beautiful woman playing the zither~"

As soon as these two sentences appeared, the barrage of comments, which had temporarily subsided, began to surge wildly again.

"I understand now!"

"Android lyrics, Apple singing style!"

"Your songs have an echo! What's your educational background?"

……

Before the barrage of comments could even subside, the background music changed again, and this time Fang Can and the other two started singing "The World".

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! It's a medley of ancient Chinese style DJ tracks!"

"burst!"

"Hahahaha! Those who know, know; those who don't, no need to explain!"

"Those who are lovesick are all on our side!"

"Who...who put this song on my phone?"

"Your next comment will be: You admit this is your phone?"

……

As a string of nonsensical comments scrolled by, everyone at the scene was completely bewildered and had no idea what to do.

Fang Can saw and knew perfectly well the ignorance of these people.

These big shots have been high and mighty for too long, and the prolonged isolation has made them unable to understand the entertainment and demands of the lower classes.

This is the barrier between immortals and mortals. Immortals are high above and simply don't have that much time to integrate with ordinary people and engage in internet abstraction.

The stricter the review process, the more abstract encryption is required on the internet! This is the path forward for the new era!
While those present were completely bewildered, some of the Imperial Guards outside revealed knowing smiles.

Qi Zhibai glanced at Fang Can, secretly admiring him, and recalled what the other had said during halftime.

Fang Can: "There are three levels of authentication!"

Shaoguang: "Three floors? Which three floors?"

Fang Can shook his head and said, "I call the first level the [Three-Body Realm]!"

"At this level, one speaks their mind directly, expressing their dissatisfaction directly, with a mind as transparent as that of the Trisolarans."

"But because they are outspoken, they are most likely to be punished by the censors!"

"And the second layer, I call the [Deconstruction Realm]."

"Because the Three-Body Realm is too dangerous, we can only use metaphors to express our opinions in an abstract way, which is deconstruction."

"The same sentence can be heard to mean different things in different contexts; this is a reconstruction of the meaning of words."

Qi Zhibai was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "What are the manifestations of this layer?"

Fang Can smiled faintly and said meaningfully, "Hakimi, Wacool Milk Dragon!"

The expert, puzzled, asked, "What are you talking about? What milk dragon?"

"Hehe, what I just said was, 'If you understand, you'll understand,'" Fang Can said with a faint smile. "But I just added a secret code, so none of you understood, right?"

"So... if Hakimi understood, then Wako Milk Dragon will naturally understand as well?" Shao Guang analyzed seriously.

"No, no, no, Hakimi literature can relate to everything. It has no meaning of its own, but you can hear your own meaning in it."

“Whether it’s pranks, evidence, happiness, or joy, it can all be analyzed using Hakimi,” Fang Can said.

Qi Zhibai shook his head: "I don't understand..."

"I dare not speak loudly, lest I disturb the heavenly beings!"

"It's right that you don't understand. Even those at the seventh level can't understand it, so naturally those people won't understand it either. Those who do understand will naturally understand."

Fang Can laughed and said, "Just sing along with me then."

Qi Zhibai emerged from his memories into reality, and as the song ended, he knew that the time had come.

Lacquer White: "Hiss—hiss—hiss—" [Round-headed old man]

Shaoguang: "Aww~ Aww~" [Aww Cat]

Fang Can: "Open! Open! Let's turn the tide! Open!" [Reversal Cat]

Lacquer White: Huh?! Huh?! [Huh]

Shaoguang: That's why I'm so indignant! Der Angriff Steiners war ein angst! [Hitman Cat]

Fang Can: Happy happy, happy~ [Happy Cat]

……

Amidst the stunned gazes of the audience, the three performed a ventriloquist act, using vocal imitation to depict the online Hakimi phenomenon.

Then, the three of them looked at each other and then let out a burst of (private laughter).

With a melodious rhythm, the three began their ancient god chorus:

“Hakimi South↑North↓Road→Do↑, Asigaya↑Kuna→Road↑” “Haya Hakimi, Dingdong Dingdong Chicken, Mambo Majili…”

"Haa ...

At this moment, the three of them sang "Kimi Says" together, and another emotional storm swept through the venue.

What is this song about? The singing style is good, but what are the lyrics?
If the previous ancient-style DJs simply couldn't understand the implied meanings, then now they can't even understand the lyrics.

But the comments section was awash with a torrent of emotions, with countless exclamations floating across the screen filled with question marks:

"Could it be???"

"Oh my god, I heard Kimi say that on a proper TV show today!"

"Who understands the sense of redemption that Kimi talked about on the show?"

"Hey upstairs, go eat shit with your Kimi!"

"Those who understood everything can go in together."

"Friendly reminder: This song is sung by a human."

"Hard to say."

"It's not a person..."

……

The immortals present were completely bewildered by the carnival in full swing.

If they can't even understand ancient-style DJs, they certainly can't understand Hakimi literature.

They couldn't understand anything they heard, like Hakimi, Mambo, Dingdong Chicken, CCB, Big Dog Bark, Round-Headed Old Man...

But gradually, they began to feel that the scene had changed, and an atmosphere of meme-making had enveloped them, while they themselves were the objects of teasing and ridicule.

This is an internet frenzy, but after the frenzy, there may be a mess, and nothing will change the status quo.

But the carnival itself is meaningful; it is through carnival and deconstruction that these people can feel the meaning of life.

During this time, the affirmative side wanted to speak, but the negative side was busy singing and didn't pay any attention to them at all, so the so-called debate naturally came to an end.

As time drew to a close, and the last Hakimi music ended, Fang Can continued to speak, but they no longer uttered any sound.

But at this moment, silence speaks louder than words, just as the most sophisticated authentication does not utter its own words.

Previously, Fang Can believed that the so-called evidence was simply that there was an elephant standing in the room, but you could never describe it.

But now, Fang Can has found a reasonable way to describe him.

Just as Archimedes used water to weigh the crown.

Fang Can could deduce the size of the elephant by filling all the empty space in the room with stuffing.

Therefore, at this moment, Fang Can let out a silent cry, without saying a word, but everyone understood its meaning.

The sound is loud, but the elephant is invisible!
At this moment, someone in the audience could no longer bear it and stood up, saying, "You're mocking the Empire!"

Fang Can stopped his silent shouting, looked over, and said, "But I haven't said anything yet."

"Nonsense, I've lived in the Empire for so many years, do you think I don't understand what you're trying to say?" the audience member said irritably.

"So you've never offended the Empire in your life?" Fang Can retorted, questioning him.

"Of course not. My family has been impeccably loyal for three generations. How could I possibly offend the Empire?" the audience member said proudly.

“If you don’t offend anyone, then you are the most offending person!” Fang Can pointed out.

"Because the less a person offends the Empire, the more it shows that this person is fully aware of the Empire's sensitivities, and that person is the most offensive one!"

"In that person's heart, he has probably already offended the empire in every way."

Fang Can looked at the audience member with a cold smile and said, "So, are you considered offensive or not?"

"you you you……"

The audience member pointed at Fang Can, unable to speak, and finally snorted coldly before sitting back down.

"Ding~~~"

With a crisp ringing of a bell, the debate competition, which had not involved any actual debate, officially came to an end.

"We are now entering the vote counting phase. The vote counting will officially end in one minute," Guai Li announced.

As he spoke, he looked up at the vote count above his head.

After eight minutes of debate, the vote count is now 57:43, with the affirmative side showing a clear advantage.

Looking at the vote count above their heads, the three members of the Guai Li trio could only sigh slightly.

This is not to say that the opposing side was less skilled; on the contrary, if we consider the actual situation, the opposing side should have won.

Unfortunately, the director ordered 10 audience members to switch their votes to the affirmative side, and under the director's skillful manipulation, the situation has become what it is today.

The difference of 10 votes created a world of difference between the two.

"We won!" The affirmative side exclaimed with elation upon seeing the difference in votes.

The four members of the affirmative side looked at Fang Can and the others with provocative eyes. So what if they were going for abstract ideas? If they were going in the wrong direction, no amount of effort would help.

Meanwhile, in the world where the opposing side is located, with everyone believing that they will all perish along with the opposing side, all sorts of riots and uprisings begin.

"Are we... going to lose?"

Qi Zhibai looked at the vote count with a somewhat pale face.

"A song that breaks my heart, where in the world can I find a kindred spirit!" Shao Guang smiled and said, "I knew we were going to lose, but I'm already satisfied with how well we did."

With practiced skill, he said with a sense of relief, "Wasn't that a wonderful debate?"

"Hey, the competition isn't over yet! Didn't you see the vote count timer hasn't stopped?" Fang Can shrugged helplessly.

"Give me some confidence, okay? When we were making the plan, I already allowed for an error margin of more than a dozen votes."

Upon hearing that they wouldn't die, the three men's eyes widened: "A dozen votes? Where did you get so many votes?"

'Sigh, what a pity.' On the other side, the host and the three judges sighed as they looked at the vote count.

Although they couldn't understand what the opposing side was doing, they only knew that it was a very new way of debating, but ultimately they couldn't hide their defeat.

"If only we had a few more votes right now... um???"

Guai Li looked up in surprise at the vote count above her head. In this final minute, the opposing vote count was jumping up and down.

43 votes → 44 votes → 45 votes...

In just over ten seconds, the number of votes for the opposing side soared upwards like a long dragon climbing higher and higher.

"Where...where did all these tickets come from?" The three of them were stunned.

To everyone's disbelief, many audience members began changing their votes, and the number of votes for the opposing side increased instead of decreasing. By the time they realized what was happening...

40 vs 60!

The opposing side wins!

The vote counting screen froze at a staggering 60 votes!
The deathly silence in the studio was broken, replaced by the devastating roars of the opposing team and the furious shouts of the production team.

On the opposing team, Qi Zhibai, Shaoguang, and Shu Neng Zhi Qiao looked at Fang Can with a mixture of ecstatic joy and awe in their eyes.

"This... Brother Fang, how did you do that?" Qi Zhibai asked, his face full of surprise.

"This brings us to the advertisement we ran at the beginning," Fang Can said with a smile.
"Aren't you curious why we only got less than ten votes when we ran more than twenty ads?"

Upon hearing Fang Can's explanation, the people present suddenly realized:

'Yeah, why are there so few votes for over twenty ads?'

"Because our opposing side has such a bad reputation, not many companies at the event were willing to let us promote them."

"But if we're asked to promote our rival company, those people are still very willing," Fang Can sneered.
