"If it's a naughty kid, you're still cold..."
"I don't mind burning one more wave of losers."
When these words were spoken, there was silence for a few breaths, and then there was an uproar!
What did they see
Chu Tianxiao... Actually burned more than a thousand chips like this? Burned? Burned!
The peaks rose sharply and the torrents fell straight down. Even the gentlemen were shocked at this moment. Yes, they had led the team for so many years, and there would be some unexpected things before the end of each year's training, but... no one, no one would burn bamboo chips as firewood!
Never!
Which practitioner would burn the bamboo chips that they had worked so hard to obtain and could be exchanged for rewards? Moreover, they would only burn a few, one or two pieces
Who would do that? Who can do that!
Only this prodigal son... Only he could burn it like this without any scruples and without blinking an eye!
He burned bamboo chips that could be exchanged for various rewards to keep the girl warm...
Burning for heating...
To keep warm...
Heating…
warm…
The crowd was going crazy, and they all screamed in their hearts: What does he want to do... What on earth does this prodigal son want to do!
No one could understand the deep meaning of Chu Tianxiao's action. A gentleman looked at the pile of bamboo chips that were gradually devoured by the flames, leaving only residue. His mouth twitched, and he said with a painful tone: "That one just now, at least... 1,700 chips!"
After this was said, the whole audience fell silent. Some teams almost burst into tears after hearing this number...
One thousand seven hundred chips...
What kind of number is this? Just think about it, Qin Shou and his group of "scholars" fought hard, but in the end they only got 1,100 chips!
And what Chu Tianxiao spent on this was more than what they earned in a month!
What is this? What is this!
The group of "scholars" were dumbfounded. They simply could not understand the prodigal's mindset. The people behind them had anticipated many possibilities, but they had never expected that Chu Tianxiao... would burn the bamboo chips to keep warm!
I guessed the beginning but not the ending...
Is this prodigal son's thinking really in line with ours
This scene… Qin Shou felt an ominous premonition in his heart. He felt that things were getting out of his control and developing in an unpredictable direction…
"You...what do you mean?"
After Qin Shou said this, he still looked shocked and took a long time to come back to his senses.
“That’s what I mean.”
The Sumeru Ring in Chu Tianxiao's hand flashed with light, and many tiny bamboo chips were pinched between his five fingers.
Then he said nonchalantly: "You... want my bamboo chips?"
"hehe… "
Chu Tianxiao showed a harmless smile, and then, he flipped his right hand. At the same time, the light of the Sumeru Ring flashed again. In just an instant, many bamboo chips seemed to appear endlessly, and then within a breath, they were thrown into the fire like dumplings by him and turned into ashes!
Everyone in the room was shocked, but before anyone could recover, Chu Tianxiao's voice, full of sarcasm and teasing, rang out.
"You want it?"
"Sorry, it's burned... I won't give it to you!"
Just as he finished speaking, nearly two thousand chips were destined to be burned to ashes!
“You…you…you want to die with us?” Qin Shou finally reacted at this moment, and blurted out in a panic.
"Haha... if you think we should die together, then so be it..." Chu Tianxiao casually grabbed a bamboo chip and threw it down to burn it like firewood to nourish the flames, while saying nonchalantly, "Anyway... regardless of the rest, your friends who 'risked their lives' can slowly enjoy their lives as disabled people."
As soon as these words came out, Mo Jun and the others' faces changed drastically! They were just using a self-torture trick, they didn't really want to be disabled for life! Originally... if Chu Tianxiao gave them bamboo chips, they could use them to exchange for natural treasures to recover, but now Chu Tianxiao was showing an attitude of "I will burn them all and not give them to you"...
The situation is beyond their control...
If in the end Chu Tianxiao burned all the bamboo chips and the situation suddenly changed, then they... would they really have to live their whole lives as disabled people
Mo Jun and the others couldn't help but shudder at this thought. They thought the prodigal son would refuse, but they never thought Chu Tianxiao would refuse in such a fierce way! This kind of fierceness... To put it nicely, it's called "rather die in glory than live in disgrace". To put it bluntly, it's just like a child sulking! It's like a madman venting!
“You… are you a fool? If you burn all these bamboo chips, you’ll get nothing! You… you might as well give them to us!” The group shouted angrily, but their confidence didn’t sound strong enough.
"Haha... I'd be a fool to listen to you, right? If I can't get it, why should I let you guys get it? Give it to you? What a joke! It's better to burn it all!" Chu Tianxiao said, and burned another two thousand chips in. "This bamboo chip needs to be improved. It burns too slowly. The fire is not very strong. I'll burn some more..."
After hearing this, the group of "scholars" were about to curse. What kind of person is this! He actually complained that the bamboo chips burned slowly? He even improved it? Is it for burning? !
They felt their hearts were bleeding. After all, just now, they had already regarded these bamboo chips as their own! Who would have thought that this prodigal son could easily lose money in such a situation and cause such great trauma to them without any effort!
However... not many people took their pain to heart, because at this time, many smart people in the field finally came to their senses and vaguely guessed Chu Tianxiao's intention...
"This is a brilliant move! Once this happens, things will definitely get out of hand. After all, this is the first time such an absurd thing as burning bamboo chips has happened during training! We can't hide it!"
"That's right! In this case, if someone wants to use this matter to make up a rumor and attack Brother Chu, they will definitely have to explain this absurd thing! People are all curious, and they will definitely want to know the truth about such an unprecedented event! In this way, it will be extremely difficult to spread rumors!"
"Well... Rather than being so aggrieved and giving the chips to others, or keeping the chips and being criticized, it would be better to burn them like this and break the situation directly! Moreover, this kind of wasteful behavior is so imaginative that it is definitely beyond the other party's expectations. In this way, we may be able to take advantage of the situation..."
"That's right, but have you ever thought about one thing? We all figured it out after the fact. If it was beforehand, even if you thought about it, would you have the guts to burn thousands of chips? And burn thousands of chips at a time?"
“… I can’t.”
"... I can't either. I'll always hope for the best. Besides, there are so many bamboo chips... How can I burn them?"
"But look at Brother Chu... He is completely casual and doesn't even blink! What kind of realm is this?"
"… Such a loser, I can only say I am convinced."
"Prodigal son... there is no wrong nickname, only wrong name!"
The discussion of this group of people was also heard by others. Everyone started talking about it. They all felt that although Chu Tianxiao's move seemed to be nonsense, it was actually the best way to break the impasse. However... if they were asked to do it, they would definitely not be able to do it!
Let alone thousands of chips, even if it was a few hundred or dozens of chips, they would not be willing to spend it! You know, these are bamboo chips that can be exchanged for rewards, who would think they are too many and burn them? What if the thing they want is just one chip away
Think about them, and then look at this prodigal son... He burned wave after wave, and from time to time he added a few hundred more chips at Lu Meir's request. In just a few breaths, the number of bamboo chips burned had reached an astonishing number!
Everyone in the field sighed and said, this is the gap!
Of course... although what they thought was good, it was not the whole of Chu Tianxiao's plan - at least, their ideas of 'cutting off one's own arm', 'rather die in glory than live in dishonor', 'killing one thousand enemies but losing eight hundred of one's own'... did not exist at all.
Besides the person involved, there were only two people who knew this... (To be continued.)
