Life is tough, so Honglong resorts to performing?

Chapter 90 The Tide Rises

When the online class ended, Casilla disappeared.

Looking at the demiplane he had turned into this mess, Loren felt a sense of helplessness.

Playing dragon language spells is fun for a while, but cleaning up afterward can be a real hassle!
And that fake oak tree with its branches cut off—if it needs repair, that would cost a fortune.

Fortunately, he wasn't planning to fix it. If it was broken, it was broken. He was a red dragon, and he didn't care about these decorations.

Loren began casting cleansing spells, giving the demiplane a simple cleaning.

A moment later, although the scene here was no longer as natural and harmonious as before, it at least did not look like a scene from a great battle.

After finishing his preparations, Loren began to examine himself. Based on his assessment, he realized that the Dragon Language Magic System seemed to be more helpful in melting high-quality magic crystals.

After a brief moment of thought, Loren felt that this was natural.

High-quality magic crystals and the dragon language magic system both emphasize the dragons' past mastery and manipulation of the elements.

This is proof that dragons are high-magic creatures. Isn't this precisely why the system of the Magic Crystal Era is suitable for dragons?
In the most ancient, high-magic era, the first dragons manipulated the elements as if breathing, summarizing their commands into the earliest form of dragon language magic.

Now, with the help of the new magical artifact, the magic crystal, the ancient dragons are able to recreate their ancient appearance; in essence, this is a reproduction of the most ancient time.

"Power comes from bloodline, and antiquity is strength."

"But that's not entirely true."

Loren pondered the changes of the times and felt that the previous statement was not quite right.

Ancient does not necessarily mean powerful; it is just that the powerful are always ancient.

Age alone is useless. The reason why ancient dragons are so powerful today is because they are ancient, or because they have adapted to the times?
If the entire Dragon Clan had stood against the Federation back then, would the Federation have still won that war?
Or did the giants become the new Elder Dragon system, or perhaps the High Elves?
The ancient races are not limited to dragons.

"Thinking about assumptions that yield no results is a waste of time."

After thinking for a while, Loren decided to give up.

In any case, he gained a new method to accelerate the melting of high-level magic crystals within his body, thus increasing his means of acquiring power!

This is absolutely a good thing!

In this unpredictable world, only power can bring him a sense of security.

Just as he was thinking this, Loren's magic crystal terminal vibrated; it was a message from Morris.

"Those guys who smeared you are starting to back down. There's a girl named Lyra who named a few smear leaders and devils on her 'Stupid People Observation Log' account, and she's hunting them down! It's going to be a huge spectacle and generate a lot of buzz!"

From the words, Loren could tell that Maurice was excited. After all, this whole thing started because of his mistake, and now that huge weight had finally been lifted off his shoulders, and he had even received unexpected reinforcements, which was something Loren had clearly not expected.

But why would this Lyra suddenly speak out in support of me?

Are they his own fans?
After only a few performances, he already has such devoted fans?
"I seem to be more popular than I thought."

With that in mind, Loren followed the link sent by Morris and began to check.

Meanwhile, in the room of Xisos, a young independent music producer.

After carefully putting away the red dragon merchandise brought by his friend, or rather, his girlfriend, this Loren fanboy rubbed his aching lower back.

He glanced at the girl who was half-lying on the bed, staring at the screen and typing away in the comments section, pontificating passionately and hurling insults.

He regretted not agreeing to teach her the skills of a bard.

Even if he doesn't achieve anything remarkable, a professional's physical fitness is always better than that of an ordinary person, right?

Last night, she appeared at his door, her face flushed and reeking of alcohol, which really startled him.

He thought she had been bullied by someone, and at that moment he even felt like grabbing a knife.

Then, he was forcefully suppressed and pushed back by the other party.

As an ordinary person, he was naturally no match for this professional bard.

Besides, if I am willing, is my love truly heartless?
How could he not know that the other party's gentleness was an act, but his aloof refusal was also an act!
He's not made of wood or stone; how could he not know the heart of the beautiful woman?

At that time, I was honest and upright, how could I dare to ruin someone's life?

Having a small reputation on campus is of no help whatsoever to an independent music producer.

If he were to join one of those strange entertainment companies, his songs would degenerate into something devoid of spirit, ultimately fading into obscurity.

Sisos considered himself a cowardly person, which is why his songs were always named after madness, raging winds, and thunder; he used arrogance to mask his cowardice.

That's why, when he saw the arrogant and joyful red dragon at the Jade Leaf Zoo, its unrestrained, playful, and childlike demeanor captivating him, he was utterly mesmerized. He longed to live like that, but he couldn't, not in the past, and perhaps not in the future.

He doesn't even have the courage to accept a confession, so what makes him so arrogant?
Then, just as he was writing a song for the red dragon in his heart, the girl he thought he would never see again reappeared.

She drank the strong liquor, took the red dragon's talismans as weapons and a warhorse, and sounded the horn of attack once again against the man who kept dodging her.

This time, her attack became even more ferocious, and his attempts to escape and evade could no longer be sustained.

Finally, the female knight defeated the fleeing guy, enjoyed her spoils, and in the aftermath, decided to be the player of the round.

That red dragon that just lies on the giant's skull and sunbathes all the time!
Without him, that cowardly fellow Sisos wouldn't have stayed here.

She wouldn't come to Greenleaf City because of the recent turmoil, nor would she stand up when someone was taking advantage of illegal traffic, get to know that half-elf staff member, and learn new information and preferences about Sisos.

In short, Red Dragon got MVP! Hisos just got carried to victory!
Out of gratitude, and because this was her little man's favorite and most admired idol besides herself, Leila decided to help Red Dragon recover some of his lost fame online.

She knew that the bosses behind that entertainment company were devils, and to fight against them, she had to mobilize all her fans.

So, she racked her brains and came up with a rather radical copy, ready to make a big splash.

But coincidentally, during this period, the people who were originally getting paid to criticize the company suddenly received news that the owner of that entertainment company had died and the company was going bankrupt and undergoing restructuring...

One side retreated like the tide, while the other launched what it believed to be a decisive charge.

On the tide of the Magic Crystal Network, a spectacular scene is unfolding where a lone female knight repels a tide far more powerful than herself.

This unusual sight quickly attracted the attention of the crowd.

People have suffered under the tyranny of entertainment companies for too long, and we have rarely seen such a phenomenon of not fighting back when hit or insulted.

People are speculating whether this woman who is always causing trouble might actually have some kind of powerful background.
With the addition of a group of entertaining fans under Leila's command, various pictures and posts quickly spread like a virus on the Magic Crystal Network.

Consequently, the name of Red Dragon Spark from Emerald Leaf Zoo has become a truly new buzzword on the Magic Crystal Network.

Loren had no idea that this sudden act of help was obtained by his own fan leader selling his kidneys.

He thought the person was attracted by his own handsome appearance.

At that moment, he was watching the video, and the woman in it was hurling incredibly offensive insults.

"You son of a bitch, you son of a bitch, you don't even know that there are devils behind entertainment companies, devils are a bunch of bastards, and you are the devil's bastards..."

The entire chapter is extremely gritty, almost entirely an emotional outpouring. It begins by touching on the Red Dragon, but the later content is almost entirely a record of the entertainment company's misdeeds on the Magic Crystal Network.

At the same time, she is also the first person to bring the unspoken rule that entertainment companies are backed by demons from a lower dimension to the surface, yet she has not been banned by the platform yet.

In fact, the various platforms are also wondering why the hush money that the devils used to send so quickly has suddenly stopped. Are they no longer caring about public opinion?

What about their entertainment companies? What about their shows?
What exactly is going on? What changes have occurred in this world without my knowledge?

The buzz surged like a tidal wave, growing stronger with each repost.

At this moment, in the bottomless abyss, in hell, the third level.

As a legendary demon who stayed in Hell and was temporarily in charge of the entertainment industry in the mortal world, Hiriak Soth was going crazy with anxiety.

The bloody battle suddenly resumed. The gathered demons, armed with high-energy weapons from who-knows-where, along with a series of self-destructing madmen, managed to breach the first and second layers of the fortress, dragging the battle into their favorite kind of melee.

The vast majority of the demons who died on the first and second floors were transformed from the entertainment industry in the mortal world. They were good at doing finance, leading people astray and giving advice, but they were not good at fighting a real battle with those crazy demons.

Isn't this courting death?

Because of their lack of combat capabilities, most of them never got much of a promotion, even though they did a decent job.

Fortunately, the high-ranking demons and devils are all within the Federation's troop deployment range, and the Blood War has indeed not been fought frequently in recent years.

The old devils who originally guarded the first and second levels of hell have all taken on new jobs, the rate of devil elimination has slowed down, and these incompetent guys have survived.

They were in charge of most of the contact points with the mortal world, which was a key factor in his promotion.

But now, his chips are dying off in droves.

He stared at the constantly updated messages on the Magic Crystal Network, feeling a terrifying pressure and a conspiracy brewing.

This bloody battle, this battle that affects both levels of hell and involves a large number of legendary demons, may only be the beginning.

It's not over yet, but his future, Siriak's, is indeed already ruined here.
