Excessive ferocity due to caution

Xu Shengzhi came to Zhao Yi's side and placed the organized documents in front of Zhao Yi, his behavior agitated and disordered.

"Master, I've got a huge idea!"

"Look—"

"Isn't this time the company under the Fengnan boss going to hold an S-class battle royale movie?"

"And the reward is that the first place winner will receive a World Seed. After seeing the movie trailer, I specifically investigated some information behind it and even contacted other friends... You know, this is what I do for a living."

"I've discovered a flaw in this movie—the number one spot includes not only the fugitives (actors) but also the hunters (NPCs)!"

"Originally, all the hunters were set as NPCs by default, without any actors involved, but..."

At this point, Xu Shengzhi revealed what he considered to be a very handsome, wicked smile.

If it weren't for the vegetable leaves stuck to his teeth and the two nose hairs sticking out of his nostrils, he would have actually been fooled.

He explained to Zhao Yi some of the default data arrangements for the film itself.

The gist of it is that, thanks to Xu Shengzhi's all-out investigation, he actually found some of the underlying logic of the movie for these bastards—as long as all the hunters are dead, the person with the most kills will be automatically designated as the new hunter by the system!

"So, if we handle this situation properly, it's entirely possible for us to obtain two World Seeds!"

Xu Shengzhi's eyes were filled with excitement.

One world seed represents one great evil.

That would be a huge boost to the current strength of the Jie Sect!

Having two more malevolent spirits out of nowhere, under the guidance of the "Slay Me" method in the future, two more evil spirits may appear!

If things really develop to this point, the Jie Sect will truly have a voice in the capital!

Zhao Yi looked at the messy but very useful documents in his hand and clicked his tongue:

"Xu Shengzhi, you've really done a great job this time!"

Xu Shengzhi chuckled, puffed out his chest, and raised his head.

"What's the big deal about merit... it's all for the sake of the Jie Sect. Even if you, the Sect Leader, don't reward me at all, I will still work as diligently as before!"

Zhao nodded:

"it is good."

"Then I won't reward you."

Xu Shengzhi's smile immediately froze, and his eyes widened in shock.

Depend on!

I was just being modest!

Why are you taking this so seriously, Master?!

He's dumbfounded!

After working so hard for so long, was it all for nothing?

Seeing Xu Shengzhi's expression, which looked like he had eaten shit, Chris couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Why are you acting so pretentious for no reason?"

Xu Shengzhi gave an embarrassed smile.

"Ahem... Master, um..."

Zhao Yi returned the documents to him.

"If you can get one more World Seed, I'll give you the credit."

Upon hearing this, Xu Shengzhi perked up again:

"By the way, Master, there are still some things I haven't finished telling you."

"Taking down the hunter... won't be easy."

"Since they were chosen as hunters in the movie, they must be extremely powerful, at least much more powerful than the fugitives!"

"Therefore, in the movie, it is already quite difficult for the fugitives to kill the hunters, and to kill all the hunters, some special methods would probably be needed."

Zhao Yi fell into deep thought.

Cheating is obviously a good idea.

However, he placed the assassins of the Jie Sect in the entertainment company for training, not only to let them reap rewards from the entertainment company, but more importantly, to improve their mentality and ability to cope with crises.

In Zhao Yi's view, honing this ability should come before rewarding it.

The Jie Sect doesn't just want useless people with high cultivation levels.

These assassins grow stronger slowly, so Zhao Yi can wait or give them opportunities to hunt.

But Zhao Yi would not feed them meat.

Therefore, how to intervene in this film has become a difficult problem.

We must not ruin the actors' sense of despair in the film, but we must also give them a chance to fight back against the hunters.

"Actually... I was just offering a conjecture and a possibility."

"If it's really too difficult, just pretend I was never here. There's no loss in it anyway."

Xu Shengzhi seemed to have realized the difficulty of cheating in movies.

He also understood that both Zhao Yi and Feng Nan had some reservations about cheating in movies.

"Leave the documents here, you should go back and rest... Look at how dark your face looks, don't burn yourself out."

Xu Shengzhi coughed twice:

"A writer looking for inspiration... that can't be considered a conflict."

He placed the documents on the table in front of Zhao Yi and left.

After Xu Shengzhi left, Chris lifted the corner of her cheongsam, sat down at the table, and flipped through the documents Xu Shengzhi had left behind, asking:

"Master, you said earlier that you would deal with the Lü family first...why?"

Zhao Yidao:

"Because of public opinion."

Chris raised her beautiful eyebrows and smiled:

"So even the owner is afraid of public opinion."

"I thought... someone like you wouldn't care about gossip from the outside world."

Zhao lit a cigarette, and the calm in his eyes filled the entire office with the smoke.

I don't care about rumors.

"But I need this sharp weapon."

"This time, the Lü family's propaganda will mobilize a lot of ordinary people from the lower rungs of the capital to come to me and attack me."

"Once you meet them, you'll realize just how powerful public opinion can be."

Chris's tone was questioning:

"Those who dare to come to you from the capital are almost all beings at the Great Fiend Realm or above... It's one thing for them to just go along with the public opinion and have some fun, but surely no one would be foolish enough to come looking for us to uphold justice?"

"What's the difference between this and courting death?"

Zhao Yi smiled:

"Soldiers risk their lives to fight on the battlefield, not necessarily to protect their homes and country."

"They might also want to be generals, want titles, want fiefdoms, want endless food, endless money, and endless pleasures."

Chris was taken aback.

She immediately understood what Zhao Yi meant.

Zhao dabbed some cigarette ash into the snow-white ashtray and said calmly:

"Justice is just a facade."

"Those who are truly willing to sacrifice themselves for justice would not have survived to this day in the corrupt environment of the capital."

"Those who come to us are just using the pretext of justice to try and take a gamble."

"Success! He's gained both fame and fortune, and is at the height of his power."

"We lost..."

At this point, Zhao Yi chuckled.

Chris asked curiously:

"Master, what are you laughing at?"

Zhao Yi said meaningfully:

"The characteristic of gamblers is that...when they place a bet, they never consider the possibility of losing."

"They just need a little courage to help them throw away their chips when they hesitate."

"And the 'justice' in the public opinion of the capital is precisely the little bit of courage that these gamblers lack."

"Trust me, it won't be long before someone comes looking for you."

PS: First update.

I'll try to post the second update before 10:30!
