Everyone was stunned. Was this evaluation considered high or low?
"No matter how strong the monster is, it's impossible for it to be ten times fiercer than it is now, right? This kind of one-sided pursuit of extreme performance without caring about the learning difficulty and the body's endurance. At best, it's just armchair strategy. At worst, it's harboring evil intentions. "
Without waiting for his daughter to ask, Yan Zhennan took the initiative to say, "You still don't know this, but the old man has been in isolated training for half a year and has mastered his martial arts. Next month, he will probably release the Yan Family Ripple Force version 2.0."
Everyone exclaimed.
Twenty years ago, the master of the Yan family, Yan Hengbo, had developed Ripple Force. Even though it had been continuously perfecting it, it had always been on a small scale, and the version number always started with 1.
Right now, the Yan Family's Ripple Technique was finally about to enter the 2.0 era. It could be seen that the upgrade this time would definitely bring about an extraordinary breakthrough.
"Right now, there are around ten mainstream Ripple Force styles in the market. The Yan family's Ripple Force might be the biggest, but we haven't managed to completely monopolize it. But I believe that once version 2.0 is introduced, the other Ripple Force styles will forever lose the possibility of challenging the Yan family."
Yan Zhennan said proudly. "All of you should understand just how big this cake is. Right now, all the elementary and middle schools in the city teach the Yan Family Ripple Ripple Force. The fees that the city's education department pays us for the intellectual property is already an astronomical figure.
"Besides, we're working together with the military. The Yan family's Ripple Force and the One Hundred Saber Techniques will form the One Hundred Wave Breaker Saber. It's a saber technique that all Dragon City soldiers must learn in actual combat.
"Hehe, those dozen or so Ripple Force factions are dreaming about snatching this piece of cake. I reckon that they've heard that the old man is about to launch the Yan Family Ripple Force 2.0. If they don't take action now, it'll be too late!"
Everyone looked pensive.
"But what does this have to do with the Demonically Modified Ripple Force?" Yan Feirou asked.
"What does it matter? Heh heh, if my guess is correct, this Super Ripple Force has already spread out from your hands, right? " Yan Zhennan smiled coldly and said, "If other people are certain that this is the Yan Family Ripple Force 2.0, what do you think will happen?"
Yan Feirou shook her head in confusion. "I don't know."
Yan Zhennan placed his hands behind his back and said coldly, "First of all, other people will think that the Yan Family Ripple Force 2.0 is very powerful and that the data on paper is practically invincible. All sorts of media outlets will praise us to the skies and stir up a storm in the city.
"Then, those 'allies' will 'accidentally' discover the flaws in the brand new Ripple Force. They'll discover the problems with the oxygen consumption and the difficulty in practicing it. They'll discover that this is the Dragon Slaying Art. It's designed to deal with monsters that don't even exist and are ten times fiercer. It's just a flashy version that doesn't care about reality. It's an immature version.
"Next, the media will turn their guns 180 degrees and criticize the Yan family's Ripple Force for forgetting its roots and forgetting that Ripple Force is just a basic force execution method for beginners. Compared to fighting efficiency, we should pay more attention to the difficulty in learning and using it.
"Those 'allies' will sigh hypocritically and say that beginners should have beginners' playstyles. They can't turn it into a high-end martial art just by casually piling on paper and chasing after the extreme data in the lab.
"Soon after, the middle schools and the military will become suspicious of the Yan family's Ripple Force. They won't be able to understand the direction of our strategic development. If we're really prepared to reach the high-end and turn Ripple Force into an amazing martial art, it'll definitely not be suitable for schools and the military to spread it on a large scale.
"At that time, heh heh, we'll lose the big contract, and those 'allies' will take advantage of the situation to enter.
"Even if we manage to keep the big contract, at the very least, before Yan Family Ripple Force 2.0 is released, we'll create a huge piece of news and completely muddy the waters. For those 'allies', there will only be benefits. There will be no disadvantages."
Everyone was dumbfounded by his words.
Yan Feirou was drenched in cold sweat. "Dad, are you saying that this Demonically Modified Ripple Force came from another Ripple Force style?"
"Allies, allies, we'll stab them in the back," Yan Zhennan said.
"Aside from those people who have been plotting against the Yan family for more than ten years, who else could gather the wisdom of so many Ripple Force factions and form this Demonically Modified Ripple Force that seems right, but is actually wrong? Even you fell for it?"
"There's a deep sense of the Yan family's style in this. Can other sects really imitate it?"
"It's naturally impossible for them to imitate the entire set, but it's not impossible for them to just leave some bits and pieces and lead us astray," Yan Zhennan said.
Yan Feirou thought about it and felt incredibly ashamed. "Dad, I was wrong."
"Master, we were all wrong!"
Many of the third generation lowered their heads. They felt lingering fear and regret.
"You can't be blamed. The other party is just too sinister. If my guess is correct, the other party has been planning this for more than half a year. It must have been planned by the elites from more than ten sects. No matter how talented you are, you're just flowers in an ivory tower. How can you tell how great it is?"
Yan Zhennan said. "Thank goodness I didn't go hunting in the fog over the past few days, or else, the Yan family would have really faced great danger."
"But the news has already spread through many forums and chat groups. What should we do?" Yan Feirou said anxiously.
"If you didn't promote the Demonically Modified Ripple Force in the public classes, you can still be saved."
Yan Zhennan thought about it. "Right now, the most important thing is that you took ten thousand from the other party, and they hired ghostwriters to cause trouble. The matter of ten thousand can turn into an insider transaction worth millions. How about this? Immediately return the money to them and release an announcement to clarify things. Be more serious and completely cut off the relationship between the Yan family and this Demonically Modified Ripple Force.
"I'll also immediately look for the public relations department of the corporation and have them handle this through the night. Let's try to solve everything before the internet traffic increases tomorrow."
Yan Feirou sighed in relief. Thank goodness her father was around.
"Do we need to ask for Grandpa's permission?" she asked.
"Forget it. The old man is still in isolated training. He's doing the final tests before the release of version 2.0. Over the past few days, the entire research team has been working 24/7. Once we're done handling these small matters, we'll report them to the old man." Yan Zhennan waved his hand, unconcerned.
"Old Fire Relayer!" Ripple Force Princess gritted her teeth and mulled over this name.
…
Meng Chao slept soundly. When he woke up, he felt refreshed. His body was filled with explosive power, and he was eager to search for a monster to beat it up.
He checked the contribution points under Kindling. 'Huh? Why is it only 1,443? I remember that before I went to sleep, it was almost more than one thousand.'
He had only gained a few hundred contribution points in one night. This did not match the speed at which he had increased by leaps and bounds the night before.
He scratched his head and turned on his phone with sleepy eyes. He noticed that Yan Feirou had transferred one million livestream coins into his account. She had converted this money into cash, and she did not even lose a single cent from the processing fees.
'What's going on?'
Meng Chao instantly woke up. He checked Yan Feirou's latest status and noticed that Ripple Force Princess had released a new video.
In the video, she was dressed in a black suit, and her expression was as cold as ice. She was completely different from the sweet princess she was during the public classes.
'Recently, a new force execution method using Ripple Force has been trending in Dragon City. It's too extreme and even crazy, and the results of practicing it are unpredictable.
'This Demonically Modified Ripple Force is even using the name of the Yan family's Ripple Force to deceive others …
'I hope that the developer will stop before it's too late and conduct himself well. I and the entire Yan family will reserve the right to pursue them legally …'
Meng Chao was instantly confused. What did she mean? Extreme? Crazy?
Could he be talking about his future Ripple Force?
But this Ripple Force was something that Yan Feirou had integrated and upgraded a long time later. What was wrong with that woman? When she went crazy, she would slap herself in the face?
He clicked on the comments section, and the netizens began discussing this matter. Many of the verified Ripple Force elites also posted their comments.
Zhao Family Ripple Force: We will definitely support the Yan family and get rid of the black sheep in the Ripple Force world!
Wang Family Ripple Force: The core competitiveness of Ripple Force is that it has no requirements and is easy to practice. It's suitable for all ages. It's not a technique that only focuses on the parameters and extreme performance on paper, but ignores the difficulty in practicing it and the amount of energy it needs when it's used. This Demonically Modified Ripple Force has really gone down the wrong path!
Limitless Waves: Although we, the Limitless Waves, have surpassed our predecessors, we have never forgotten that the source of the Waves is the Yan Clan. We must remember the source of the water we drink. In the face of such crazy demonic Waves, we will forever stand together with the Yan Clan!
There were more than ten other Ripple Force sects. They all claimed to be allies and criticized the future Ripple Force to the point that it was riddled with holes and that it was worthless.
Meng Chao read the gossip for a long time before he had a general idea of what was going on.
The general gist of it was that the Yan family Ripple Force suspected that the future Ripple Force was created by other sects. It was a fake that was only 30% real and 70% fake. In fact, it might even be an evil martial art with ulterior motives.
After all, Meng Chao did not write down all the force execution formulas and output calculations. There were plenty of things that he could not remember clearly. His writings were all over the place, and they were all over the place.
Besides, some of the fighting parameters were indeed a little ahead of the current era.
Once the Yan family Ripple Force made a statement, the other sects did not know what was going on, but they were afraid that they would be targeted by the public, so they disregarded the facts and chose a side first.
As time passed, everyone came to a conclusion.
The astonishing Demonically Modified Ripple Force was definitely not created by the Ripple Force world itself. Instead, it was the masterpiece of Reckless Bull Force, Dragon Snake Force, and other competitors. After all, their markets overlapped with each other's!
"Your train of thought is really strange, isn't it?"
Meng Chao did not know whether he should laugh or cry.
When he read the posts written by the professionals, he had to admit that their guesses made some sense.
The next few decades would be the period where the evolution of Dragon Citizens would accelerate.
Due to the infiltration of spirit energy and the stimulation of war, once their genes were completely unlocked, all the potential in their cells would be dug out, and they would evolve madly.
Even if their appearances did not change, the future Dragon Citizens' lung capacity, oxygen content in their blood, the number of muscle fibers in their muscles, their hormone secretion, and the functions of their organs would all increase by leaps and bounds.
Future martial arts were developed and upgraded for future humans.
If he used the future martial arts on modern humans, it would be the same as using a phone from decades ago to run a large-scale game. The results … might not be as good as he imagined.
This problem was not obvious when it came to basic martial arts like Reckless Bull Force and Ripple Force.
But if he awakened to even more amazing martial arts and his body was continuously refined and modified by Kindling, he would naturally have no problem in cultivating them, but when he promoted them to the public, he would have to be very careful.
'Alright, since you don't know what's good for you, I'm not going to make these contributions!'
Meng Chao thought sourly. 'I have Reckless Bull Force, Dragon Snake Force, and even more future martial arts. There's no way I won't be able to find a place to make contributions.
'Yan Feirou, we're enemies now. Today, you treated my kindness as ill intent, but tomorrow, even if you kneel down and beg me, wear yoga clothes, and ride my coattails, I —'
He sucked in a deep breath and calmed down.
'Oh well, a Fire Relayer has the bearing of a Fire Relayer. If I want to make contributions, I have to have a spirit that doesn't ask for fame, isn't afraid of being misunderstood, and isn't afraid of being wronged. If Ripple Force Princess really rides my coattails and cries while admitting her mistakes, it'll show that she's truly remorseful. Then, I'll reluctantly forgive her.'
The matter was happily decided just like that.
It was not as if there was no good news on that day.
