At this moment.
In a large city.
In a remarkably luxurious villa.
A young man, corpulent and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, was typing with a sneer.
"Hmph, so what if you're powerful? I just can't stand geniuses like you!"
"How come you could go from B-grade talent to SS-grade? It's not fair!"
"Only I deserve to be strong, you all don't!"
"After ranting about this guy, I suddenly feel bored. Who should I rant about next?"
"Huh, the City Lord of Donghai City, Fang Jin! I'll rant about him. Let me see, what's there to rant about."
"Many soldiers died in this battle, and he even lost his son. Heh, fighting for humanity is your duty, what's a dead son to you?!"
"Still looking so grief-stricken? I can't stand such pretentious people. So what if you lost a son? So sad? Pathetic!"
He was here, spouting curses, unable to stand anything in the world.
He claimed others had stolen their resources. This might be an undeniable fact, but randomly cursing people was morally bankrupt.
People like him, who contributed nothing, were the ones truly stealing resources!
Just like his villa, it was incredibly luxurious, even better than what the City Lord of Donghai City lived in.
If anyone saw this scene, they would be astonished.
Someone like you, and you have the nerve to accuse others of stealing from the poor?
Are you poor?
You're a businessman, a wealthy magnate, and you have the gall?
They were rich, but they earned it at the cost of their lives.
And you?
Where did your money come from? And what contributions have you made to society?
If someone asked him, he would feel no guilt. He would say he fought with words, that he awakened the world, and that was his contribution!
Ridiculous!
At this moment.
Donghai City.
Lin Yu looked at the comments from everyone, feeling a bit gloomy.
What made him feel most disheartened was that below the comments on the "Planet Fulcrum" account, there were hundreds of thousands of likes, and tens of thousands of replies supporting it.
At this moment.
The joy of his recent victory vanished completely.
He suddenly felt that doing all that didn't seem worth it.
"Are these guys brain-damaged!" Lin Yu cursed.
"Damn it, don't let me find out where you are! Otherwise, I'll beat you half to death!"
He gritted his teeth and closed his wristband, but his dissatisfaction remained.
Why was he, after doing good deeds, being cursed?
Accusing him of stealing their resources? It was utter nonsense!
He had a system. Killing made him stronger. Who's resources would he steal?
Along the way, he had become so strong purely through self-reliance!
You can call him a cheater, but you can't call him a parasite!
"Sooner or later, I'll catch you. Then we'll see if your mouth is as tough as your keyboard!"
Lin Yu looked up at the distance. Many reporters had already arrived, interviewing soldiers and survivors on the battlefield.
This scene, seen by Lin Yu, made it impossible for him to forget that person's comment.
No! I have to find a way to locate this guy.
He thought for a moment but still had no solution.
Privacy protection in this era was too strict.
"To trace the other party's IP address, I'd have to pull strings and find someone. It's too troublesome, too high-profile, and bound to lead to gossip. Besides, the IP address might be fake."
"What should I do?"
Lin Yu opened his status panel to check his skills.
Suddenly, a skill caught his eye.
"That's right, I'll use this skill. Hope it's helpful."
Lin Yu concentrated his mind and began to activate the skill.
"Bai Xiaosheng!"
*Hum!*
After the skill was released, a white vortex appeared in front of him.
Lin Yu gazed intently, and suddenly, crowing sounds emanated from the vortex.
He looked with astonishment. A rooster wearing a white robe, with red feathers and a red crown, strode out arrogantly.
As soon as it emerged, it raised its head, intending to offer its neck to Lin Yu, but unfortunately, it was too short, and Lin Yu had to bend down to look at it.
"Are you Bai Xiaosheng?" Lin Yu asked.
The rooster nodded and said, "Yes, I am Bai Xiaosheng. Young man, I see a radiant aura around you, you must be immensely wealthy. Do you have any information to inquire about? However, let me say in advance, the more precious the information, the more expensive it will be!"
Lin Yu asked, "What is the equivalent exchange?"
The rooster looked at him and said, "Anything is acceptable, but it must have value. Of course, I will determine the value."
Lin Yu pondered for a moment. He had learned this skill and wanted to try it out.
"I want a person's location information. Can you help me find it?" Lin Yu opened his wristband and pointed to the person named "Planet Fulcrum," saying, "Can you help me find it?"
Bai Xiaosheng stretched its head over, took a few glances, and then nodded, "This is too simple. Ten energy crystals!"
Lin Yu was relieved. Although it was a bit expensive, he could afford it. He just wondered if the other party could really find him.
"I don't have energy crystals. Would Blood and Flesh Pills work?" Lin Yu took out a few Blood and Flesh Pills and said.
Bai Xiaosheng glanced at them, its eyes lit up, and it said, "Hmm, that works too!"
"Then this rooster will take ten Tier-3 Blood and Flesh Pills from you."
Lin Yu was overjoyed and gave him ten Blood and Flesh Pills.
Bai Xiaosheng received the Blood and Flesh Pills with great satisfaction and said with a smile, "Young man, your alchemy heritage is excellent. The Blood and Flesh Pills you refined are perfect."
"Alright, let's get back to business. Watch as I dig up this kid's information for you."
With that, it dove into the void and disappeared.
Lin Yu waited. Three minutes later, Bai Xiaosheng returned.
It said, "Alright, I've inquired. The kid you're talking about lives in a city a hundred miles from here. Here is the address information, transmitted directly into your mind!"
With a *whoosh*, a beam of light entered his forehead.
He was shocked. He had no premonition at all, and this guy had already transmitted the information.
What was the origin of this rooster?
And where did these mysterious skills come from?
Why had no one else learned them?
Lin Yu had many questions in his mind.
"Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I won't think about it for now. I should go find this guy to vent my anger!"
Lin Yu looked at the information that appeared in his mind and flew outside.
When he arrived outside, he noticed that the war had ended.
The sea beasts had retreated, and the soul-devouring insects were mostly wiped out. The human allied forces were now treating the wounded and cleaning up the battlefield.
After the recent battle of Guixu, their already sorrowful hearts were once again shrouded in a layer of gloom.
At this moment, people didn't have much joy of victory, only heavy hearts.
Moreover, many people were enraged by some malicious comments online, so much so that they couldn't eat.
Damn it, they risked their lives to fight and protect them, and now it was taken for granted?
Did we have to thank you for protecting you?
Everyone was furious!
Especially the one named "Planet Fulcrum." Leading his fanboys, he was ranting everywhere, attacking everyone.
They ranted about Lin Yu, then about the City Lord of Donghai City, then about the soldiers of Donghai City for inaction, for not detecting the sea clan's movements earlier. They even claimed that the victory could have been easier, but it turned into such a costly one.
In short, he cursed everyone. The more fiercely he ranted, the more excited his fanboys became, cheering him on and following him enthusiastically.
Along the way, Lin Yu reread some of the online comments and became extremely angry.
"Damn it, wait until I find you. I'll have a public trial!"
