Life is tough, so Honglong resorts to performing?

Chapter 120 Mutation
This red dragon is a total slayer...

The more Loren understood, the more he realized how powerful the other party was.

The idea of ​​recording the other party's knowledge sounds simple, but it becomes a bit outrageous when their understanding and feelings about the world are also included.

If a powerful individual casts a spell that is strong enough and that is recorded by her, then that spell will receive a buff from the powerful individual.

If the opponent also recognizes the power of this spell, even if they do not feel restraint or fear, the power of this spell will be enhanced once again.

Once someone is labeled as weak due to a single defeat in a confrontation with her, and is perceived as weak, any attack from that opponent will be weakened by her defense.

This understanding will be continuously strengthened with deeper comprehension, that is, with sufficient knowledge, until an absolute gap is created.

Stepping on the right foot with the left, the void multiplies, sending one soaring directly into the sky.

However, if Cassilia recognizes the strength of a powerful individual and the reasons behind that strength, then when they are enemies, the spells the opponent casts against her will be amplified by that individual's beliefs...

What you can defeat, you will always defeat; the more you understand, the better you become. What you can't defeat, you will never defeat; the more you understand, the worse you become...

The first battle was the decisive one, and the two sides were now clearly divided.

"He really is quite the mage."

Loren quipped, "If you can really beat the mages into submission and make them realize that they can't win, then you're really out of options."

I've used every trick in the book—restraint, understanding, traps—and still haven't won. What's the point of playing? I might as well give up.

Before being defeated, Casilla was able to gain a significant advantage in battle thanks to this talent.

The red dragons have a unique advantage in temperament: most of the time, they are unyielding and unwilling to submit...

"It's a very interesting concept. I feel like I could use it if I wanted to create a big legendary theory in the future, something involving information or something. But thinking about it, I'll pass. It feels like I'd be stuck at the legendary level for a long time if I wanted to advance further..."

In the world of Buddhist doctrines, proof and reproduction are of great importance.

After all, they weren't the kind of sorcerers who relied on bloodline talents to cast spells.

After making some plans for the future, while his mind was still fresh, Loren combined what he had learned with his thesis and began its first revision and correction, adding a lot of more professional knowledge to make it look more sophisticated.

"After revising it three to five more times, it should be good enough to submit."

After revising the text, Loren read it through himself and felt that much of its immaturity had been removed.

Compared to the first version, this is at least at the kindergarten level, or even very close to the level of a fully-fledged preschooler, and half a step towards the first grade of primary school.

Although there is still a gap between us and the big shots, we have at least made progress.

After putting away the second version of the paper, Xiao Honglong began to check the group chat messages.

After some time, many guys who specialize in opening boxes to find dirt on people have finished collecting the information and handed it to him.

Because the group's protection level was not very high, and their status was just so-so, Loren didn't have to pay much money to get his hands on the information.

Loren casually packaged up the dirt he had gathered and sent it all to Morris, intending for him to use it to deal with these people.

It would be too boring and pointless for him to personally get involved in a fight with these guys; his time shouldn't be wasted on such trivial matters.

Shortly after, Loren received a transfer and a message.

"Thank you for your hard work. Leave the rest to me."

The sender was Maurice, and the little red dragon laughed as he looked at the transfer, which was even more generous than the bounty he had offered.

We love people like you who are sensible and know how to read the situation!
After pocketing the transfer, Loren checked his magic crystal account. Once he confirmed that the Silistan family hadn't contacted him yet, Loren found a comfortable position and entered a deep meditative state, beginning to organize his magic power.

Today is Monday, the zoo is closed, and he has already pushed back most of his work. It's a good day for him to practice and improve himself.

While Xiao Honglong was working hard to train and improve himself, the large-scale online incident that arose because of him was escalating overnight.

At this time, not many people realized that the devil who used to stir up trouble and incite emotions on the Magic Crystal Network, and who was also responsible for covering things up and cooling things down when things got dangerous, was no longer in charge.

People still thought it was just a normal emotional battle, with debaters from both sides entering the arena one by one, and all sorts of labels and insults flying around.

Those who side with Little Red Dragon are mainly a group of fans centered around young, fun-loving people, such as Leila.

They are young, energetic, and always looking for and creating fun.

For them, the little red dragon is their latest source of joy, and most of the little red dragon's memes are created by them.

The other group, what they truly despise are the immortal beings they encounter in their lives, some of whom are dragons. The little red dragon is simply taking out its anger on its own kind.

For both sides, the little red dragon is just a symbol and a representation.

What kind of dragon it is is not important to either of them.

Both sides were simply venting their emotions and vying for their right to speak on the Magic Crystal network.

Such struggles and confrontations always occurred on a small scale in the past, because every time a trend emerged, it would be overshadowed by the ruthless actions of the devils, and the devils who understood human nature would keenly perceive the danger and nip it in the bud by reporting it ruthlessly.

But this time, there was no devil or demon involved...

As usual, the two sides became increasingly aggressive in their insults, the discussion gained momentum, and more and more people joined in.

Soon, within the Magic Crystal Network, what started as a single-regional event in Emerald Leaf City evolved into a group discussion event affecting the entire southwest region, and even had the potential to become the first major online event born after the demons' tide receded.

After all, most of the participants on both sides are real people rather than online trolls, and the popularity they generate is genuine.

After assessing the situation, more and more influential online figures began to get involved. The vast majority of them stood against the Red Dragon and praised those who had initially criticized Loren.

They believe that their existence represents the most sober understanding of this age of entertainment to the death, that they are representatives of conscience, and that they are a cry against this chaotic era.

The reason they would make this choice is simple: there are few long-lived species and many short-lived species.

The consensus among many short-lived species is to cancel various welfare benefits for long-lived species and use the large amount of military funds allocated to long-lived species like the Ancient Dragons to improve people's livelihoods. They believe that doing so might improve the living standards of the Federation's residents.

The mysterious departure of the demons and devils may indicate that the Federation is preparing to rectify and change the environment of the entertainment industry, while the Red Dragon, which is still focused on entertainment, comedy, and sensationalism, is probably a product of the dying struggle of the old era and is not worth mentioning.

Most importantly, those guys are doing it in the name of "it's for your own good." They occupy the moral high ground and stand on the moral high ground. The wind might be strong there, but at least they won't crash.

Well, at least.

Thus began a barrage of criticism against the little red dragon.

One person said the little guy was wasting resources, another said that as a noble superior race, he shouldn't be doing something like competing with the poor people struggling to make a living. In short, everything revolved around the ecology of the superior race in the Federation. No one cared that Loren was a real dragon, and no one knew how much savings he had or what kind of life he lived before this...

In contrast, the authors of the first few articles received immense praise and acclaim.

People praised their alertness and their visionary foresight. The unprecedented attention and praise made them feel elated. They couldn't help but continue to post articles and send text messages. As they watched the rapidly increasing likes and comments, they couldn't help but feel elated.

This is where they belong, and this is the life they should be enjoying!
They are the world's whistleblowers; they fired the first shot in the fight against and overthrow of that shameless superior race!
"So, should we report this kind of thing or intervene?"

At the very bottom of the Deep Sea City, at the headquarters of the Magic Crystal Network, where countless giant servers lie dormant, two chief observers are watching the storm of discussion gradually gathering on the Magic Crystal Network, and they are quite troubled.

This kind of thing has rarely happened before! In the past, the devils would always kill them off in advance!
When they first received the news that the demons and devils had to return to fight the bloody battle in the abyss, they thought it was a good thing. However, after leaving the demons, the new developments in the entertainment industry seem even more outrageous.

Since the devils and demons started competing in this industry from all angles, the entertainment industry hasn't seen such a major discussion in nearly a century. News and discussions are always quickly disrupted by all sorts of bizarre news and the devils' ruthless antics.

“Even a piece of waste paper has its use, let alone those devils who see through people’s hearts. The day they chose the entertainment industry from all angles, they probably already thought of this.”

"Let's see. I don't think it's over yet."

"I don't believe the druids won't organize any counterattack; that would be a gross underestimation of them."

"Alright, let's take another look."

……

At this moment, at the Emerald Leaf Rare Animal Zoo.

After holding a video conference with the cultural and tourism department of Greenleaf City, the old druid Aaron and Morris submitted the incriminating information provided by Loren.

Neither side asked where the document came from, and as an arrest warrant was issued from nearby Tongtie City, the authenticity of the document was verified to some extent.

Cuiye City's Culture and Tourism Bureau quietly forwarded and pinned the arrest notice from the neighboring city.

Subsequently, a considerable number of marketing accounts of the Little Fairy began to expose the existence of those scandals, and focused on the fact that one of the people who was being promoted to sainthood on Magic Crystal Network was actually a fugitive with a rather high bounty.

The news was quickly shared, especially by young people who are being criticized by various parties as the most useless generation, who launched a counterattack.

If we consider a red dragon's antics as a waste of time and a disservice to one's duties, then what are you?
Why listen to a fugitive with a fake identity spouting so-called foresight and wisdom, or to these idiots talking about their supposed survival crisis?

As the golden statues of the masters who were being consecrated were broken, a series of parody images with scandalous stories began to emerge, and the reactions of these people made young people who enjoy entertainment cheer.

They broke down; their once gentle and refined appearances became repulsive, their original speech and philosophy vanished, and they retaliated against everything they could like shrewish women.

Unlike Loren, who doesn't care about being pranked and is content to be his own abstract symbol of amusement, these masters who have just reached the top and then been thoroughly humiliated have completely lost their composure. Their angry and broken state has become a new source of amusement for young people, resulting in a plethora of memes.

This battle for the right to speak between the younger and older generations has temporarily taken the lead because Mr. Spark from the Little Red Dragon's side has not expressed any opinions or statements. Although one side has already captured the flag, has this battle without gunpowder really ended?

Of course... not yet.

While one side pressed its advantage and launched a fierce attack, the other side quickly grasped and began to employ the strategy of cutting off the enemy.

Human error does not equate to a flawed viewpoint. No one is perfect. Our target is not this one red dragon, but the entire dragon race—no, all the long-lived species—for the preferential treatment they have enjoyed in the past five hundred years of the Federation.

In Elren today, do we really need so many armed ancient dragons, so many powerful beings?

From outer space to the earth's depths, even the abyss has submitted to the wisdom and power of the Elren beings. In this day and age, why do we still cling to those old wartime shackles?
Where is the war, and who are we fighting?
Now that an era of peace has arrived, why not take off the old armor?
When these views, which had been circulating in the minds of many short-lived creatures for a long time, were finally brought to the forefront of discussion on the Magic Crystal Network, the two observers realized, oh dear, things have entered the second phase.

The new second phase, beyond their control, was inevitable since the demons and devils returned to the abyss to fight a bloody battle, but its arrival so quickly was still somewhat unexpected.

"Shouldn't this be the beginning?"

Do you think this is a minor or major issue?

One observer spoke to the other, half-jokingly.

"It should be small, since the proportion of abyssal anomalies is not large. So the recruitment ratio of the edge battlefield will probably be reduced from fourth-tier fully-fledged quasi-legendary dragons to regular fourth-tier and standard adult dragons. It should be able to keep up."

"More people will have to face the changes in the war. Fortunately, there are enough Tier 4 conventional military-grade weapons. This time, many people should be able to survive."

"If regular Tier 4 units are also mobilized, then apart from the group leader and other big shots with special missions, the Tier 3 max-level guys will be the strongest in the city."

"Even including military-grade weaponry, the overall strength of the city's guardians is still somewhat insufficient against those deliberately unruly cultists and those restless individuals, isn't it?"

"The development and deployment of our new lower-level magic crystal armor is still a bit slow."

"There's no other way. First, even a greenhouse needs some wind and rain. Second, we still need to prioritize and improve the combat power of the ancient dragons, since they are the ones who are truly on the front line."

The observers were also somewhat helpless. When will this damned two-way cognitive influence ever end?
