Chapter 2148: Hurry Up and Hate Me
An Lin felt that it was an easy task to get one million of his fans to hate him.
Gazing at the fervent members of the Dark Wing Tribe before him, he couldn’t help but feel that they were slightly adorable.
I’m sorry, brothers. For the sake of the Tai Chu Continent, and for the sake of the human tribe, I’ve got to ruin my own reputation and also hurt you guys…
An Lin took a deep breath.
“Do you know why I gathered all of you here?”
“No…”
“Regardless of what Heavenly Master wants us to do, we’ll definitely wade through fire and water to complete it! We’ll fight to the death for Heavenly Master!”
“That’s right! We’ll wade through fire and water and fight to the death!”
The members of the Dark Wing Tribe all started to loudly express their loyalty.
As he gazed at these feverish fans, An Lin couldn’t help but recall his past interaction with the Blood Tribe. At that time, they had also been this fervent and fanatic.
In fact, the Dark Wing Tribe was fairly adorable when it was like it. An Lin was truly reluctant to hurt them like this…
“I gathered all of you here to make something clear.”
An Lin clasped his hands behind his back as an expression of disdain and scorn slowly emerged on his face.
Gazing at their curious and anxious faces, An Lin continued, “To tell you the truth, I’m starting to regret that I accepted you people…”
The expressions of the members of the Dark Wing Tribe instantly changed. In fact, some of them had already become as white as a sheet.
A smile tugged at the corners of An Lin’s lips. He peered down at the members of the Dark Wing Tribe before him and said slowly, “I’m not targeting anyone in particular, but I just want to say that you’re all tras.h.!.+
“None of you are worthy of standing here. You’re all weak and cowardly, and you’re all completely unfit to serve someone as powerful and perfect as me. That’s right, I don’t need any of you at all! Nor do I find any of you worthy!”
An Lin’s arrogant and condescending words instantly sent waves of commotion through the dao plaza.
Boom!
The entire dao plaza erupted into chaos.
Countless members of the Dark Wing Tribe were stunned by what they heard.
Meanwhile, An Lin was delighted as he gazed at the turmoil before him.
This is the reaction that I want!
What was the most taboo thing for an idol to do?
It was naturally to insult their own fans!
Fans also had their own dignity. Thus, when an idol disrespected their fans, would their fans not leave them? In fact, would these fans not turn against them?
Just then, An Lin had not only put on an air of haughtiness and arrogance, but he had even accused the Dark Wing Tribe of being completely useless and worthless. How could such utterances not trigger a negative backlash?
Come on, come on, all of you hate me!
There are six million of you, so it should be extremely easy to get one million of you to hate me, right?
An Lin was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with excitement as he looked toward the mission progress bar on the system interface.
However, he was dumbfounded by what he saw.
[Mission progress: 0.1%]
What?
Only 0.1%?
I’ve put so much effort into my performance, and I’ve tried my best to ruin my own reputation while offending my fans. Yet, almost none of them hate me?!
While An Lin was lost in a daze, the members of the Dark Wing Tribe on the dao plaza had already started to wail in misery.
“Wuu… I never realized that we are so worthless in the mind of the Heavenly Master… I don’t want to live…”
“Heavenly Master is taking things too far by speaking like that! I hate him!”
“Stupid c*nt! Everything that the Heavenly Master said is true. Are you not weak?”
“I…”
“Are you not cowardly?”
“I…”
“You’re speechless now, aren’t you? It’s true that we’re weak and cowardly, so the Heavenly Master wasn’t wrong to say that at all! What reason do you have to hate him? Tell me, what reason?”
A member of the Dark Wing Tribe had still hated An Lin just a moment ago, yet after being rendered speechless by a fellow member of the Dark Wing Tribe beside him, he instantly lowered his head and shed tears of helplessness.
Similar conversations occurred all over the large dao plaza.
An Lin was stunned as he watched the mission progress bar fall from 0.1% to 0.09%, and then to 0.08%, 0.07%… His jaw dropped in shock.
“Wuu… Being as weak as we are, we’re indeed unworthy of serving the Heavenly Master… Perhaps we genuinely can’t provide any help during battle…”
At this moment, a Dark Wing Monarch suddenly said, “Have you guys noticed? Why didn’t the Heavenly Master say these things on the day that we joined him? Why did he suddenly choose to say these things today?”
Another Dark Wing Monarch came to a sudden realization, saying, “Could it be… he thinks that the enemies are far too powerful, and we’ll suffer heavy casualties if we partic.i.p.ate in the battles? As a result, he doesn’t want us to face this danger?!”
“That’s right! That’s why he stressed that he doesn’t need any of us just then! In reality, he’s afraid that we’ll die if we partic.i.p.ate in the battle for him!
“Think about it. Although we’re weak, any extra resistance against the Heavenly Human Tribe is welcomed. Thus, it wasn’t necessary at all for him to say those things. However, he still chose to say them. Why? Because he’s looking out for our safety and lives!”
“Wuu… Heavenly Master is far too kind!”
One Dark Wing Monarch was already crying tears of emotion.
“He’d rather ruin his own image than see us suffer casualties. I vow to follow such a master to death!”
“He also said that we’re weak and cowardly. However, aren’t these the exact weaknesses of the Dark Wing Tribe? He’s using a roundabout method to point out our weaknesses. He’s truly put a lot of thought into this…”
“There’s no need to say anything else. From now on, the Heavenly Master is my only master!” the Saber Night Monarch said. “I’ll definitely become stronger in the future. I’ll also bravely charge forward without cowering!”
“We swear allegiance to Heavenly Master until death!”
“We swear allegiance to Heavenly Master until death!”
It wasn’t long before the voices of the Dark Wing Tribe transformed into a wave that surged throughout the entire dao plaza.
An Lin was baffled as he gazed at the fervent Dark Wing Tribe members before him. At the same time, he saw the mission progress bar directly drop to 0%. He couldn’t help but clutch at his heart…
Heavens! Have these Dark Wing Tribe members all gone crazy?
I was clearly scolding you… Scolding you! Yet, you’re all somehow moved, and you’ve even become full of fighting spirit? What on earth?
Of course, An Lin had naturally heard the conversations between the Dark Wing Tribe members. It could be said that they had completely overa.n.a.lyzed the meanings of his words. Their understanding of his utterances was as far off as it could possibly be.
As it turned out, if fans were fanatic enough, they could even twist words of abuse from their idol into words of encouragement…
An Lin was unwilling to back down, and he said, “There’s no need to overthink my words. It’s true that I disdain you, and it’s true that you’re all trash. You’re all weak and cowardly tras.h.!.+”
To ordinary fans, such utterances would have definitely been a severe blow.
Hurry up and hate me!
I beg you, hurry up and hate me!
An Lin was practically begging to be hated as he uttered these words.
However, the members of the Dark Wing Tribe weren’t enraged at all. Instead, they became even more moved. They continued to nod in agreement; some of them were even shouting in agreement as tears streaked down their faces.
“You’re correct, Heavenly Master. We’re nothing but tras.h.!.+”
“Your disdain will be my eternal motivation!”
Some beauties of the Dark Wing Tribe were blus.h.i.+ng, and they clasped their cheeks as they said, “I’m an adorable little trash that only the Heavenly Master can sort…”
An Lin: “???”
Crazy, these people have definitely gone crazy!
They’ve definitely been struck by the IQ lowering halo of the system, definitely!
An Lin almost blacked out upon seeing their response.
Holy f*ck! What can I do now?
The gathering on the dao plaza ended just like that.
Moreover, it seemed as if the Dark Wing Tribe’s recognition and loyalty to An Lin had even risen to a new high. They were all extremely moved, and as if they were on drugs, they all started to cultivate earnestly.
A sense of shame giving birth to courage was a good description of what was occurring with the Dark Wing Tribe right now. This was incredibly inspirational.
An Lin was feeling dejected as he left.
He couldn’t pummel them, and scolding them was also useless. If he praised them, they might even soar into the sky in excitement and fervor.
What could he do?
He had severely underestimated his standing in the minds of others—his image was near indestructible!
Upon realizing this, he finally felt the deep sense of malice oozing from the system.
The system definitely wouldn’t give him a freebie mission.
This mission… was tremendously difficult!
