Chapter 321: The Spiral of Silence
"Husband, how is it?"
Chang Xi conjured up a divine fetus and walked to Qi Lin's side and asked with concern, Qi Lin was feeling the heart of the Qilin of the Sea of Knowledge, which was getting darker and darker, and his breath was almost annihilated. "Now we can't wait any longer, we have to learn the auspicious mind method as soon as possible. β
"There are still twenty days left before the next 'Inner Court Assessment', is it too late for the husband?" Chang Xi calculated, now his husband has 20,000 credits, and there are 30,000 points less for advancing to the heavenly level, if it is according to the progress of the ordinary school palace, these 30,000 points will take a year and a half at the earliest.
"No problem. β
Qi Lin said confidently: "I'm also a protΓ©gΓ© of Guiguzi anyway, I have learned to fight vertically and horizontally, think of a way, and I should be able to make up 30,000 points in twenty days." β
"What does the husband want to do?" Chang Xi asked.
Qi Lin thought about it, the fastest way to get credits in the Academy Palace is nothing more than the tasks issued by the high-level senior brothers, these tasks can reach up to 5,000 credits, if there are six such tasks, 30,000 credits can be easily completed. But Qi Lin also knew that it was unlikely that such a good thing would happen again, Zhi Qingyun would only come up with 5,000 credits because of his arrogance and Pan Yuan, who often laughed and fanned the flames for his junior brother, and he lost in his most proud archery skills, which was a result that no one could have imagined.
Shi Jingtian's 10,000 credits is a trap set by the king of Guiguzi listening to the cicada, and the dignified princes came forward, Shi Jingtian must not be obedient, of course, he actually did not lose much, although he lost 5,000 credits, but he got Guiguzi personally and separately guided, it was completely worth it, Shi Jingtian himself knew this, so even if he knew that it was a trap, he would resolutely jump down, this is the power of Guiguzi.
Now that Qi Lin's reputation is resounding in the outer palace, he has defeated two heaven-level senior brothers in a row, and he has no other princes to support him, it is already difficult for him to get such a high number of credits.
"That Heavenly Order Society will definitely obstruct it, it's a bit tricky. Qi Lin frowned and pondered.
"It's better for us to create pressure on public opinion and use a 'spiral of silence'. Qi Lin raised his eyebrows, remembering a classic method.
"A spiral of silence?"
Chang Xi looked dazed, what kind of magical power is this, he has never heard of it.
Qi Lin explained to her that the spiral of silence is a concept in communication, when people express their ideas and opinions, if they see that the ideas they agree with are widely welcomed, they will actively participate in them, and such opinions will be more and more bold to express and spread, and even if they find that no one or few people pay attention to a certain point of view (sometimes there are encounters of group attacks), they will remain silent. The silence of one side of the opinion leads to the growth of the opinion of the other side, and so on, forming a spiral development process in which the voice of one side becomes stronger and the other side becomes more and more silent.
Qi Lin set his sights on the last two giants of the Heavenly Order Society.
He just needs to spread one point of view.
"Opinion?"
"That's right. Qi Lin was happy: "Didn't the Heavenly Order Society learn from the four sons to engage in the Big Three? That's just right, in the hearts of the students of the Academy, the Big Three are both prosperous and loss-making, and now that I have defeated the Big Three's Zhi Qingyun, the remaining two giants must fight, otherwise the title of the Big Three is a joke." β
"Hmm. Chang Xi nodded.
"But they can drag on the battle, or they can play dead, so I will spread the idea that a big three cowards and avoid war, and mixed all kinds of insulting rumors with these two people. β
"Does it work?"
"Of course it's useful, most of the students in the Academy Palace are below the Heavenly Rank, and these three giants actually had the opportunity to enter the Inner Palace for a long time, but they didn't enter it just to monopolize the resources of the Outer Palace, their reputation and image are actually not very good, I just happened to add fuel to the fire, and others would agree with this point of view anyway, and then these words would continue to spread in the Outer Palace for some reason, and eventually cause a spiral of silence to be out of control. β
"At the end of the day, as long as anyone has a shred of dignity, they will not be able to withstand the pressure to fight. β
Qi Lin snapped his fingers.
"But what must be done to keep them from procrastinating? β
"Of course, so before that, I will first challenge the other Heavenly Rank students, communicate with them one by one, and finally when I defeat everyone, all the pressure will be on the Big Three, if they still want to maintain the Heavenly Rank Society, they will inevitably fight, and they can't be delayed. Qi Lin had already thought about it.
"Will anyone else accept the husband's communication?"
"Yes. Qi Lin said. "I don't use high scores, one or two hundred points are enough, those Heavenly Rank students must be eager to communicate with me, for them, reputation is secondary, experience is the most important. β
Chang Xi let out an exclamation, his gentle eyes bright and bright.
Qi Lin's plans can be described as interlocking, and almost every detail has been thought out. The only thing to do now is to implement it first, spread the giant's views first, and let everyone spread this voice, and then you can be invited into the urn.
To say what is fastest in this world, it is not light, not electricity, it is a rumor.
Human nature is not subject to rules and authority, and the reputation of the triumvirate has made everyone dare not speak out in the outer palace, and now Qi Lin is nothing more than igniting the fire.
It's not difficult to spread rumors, let alone a rumor that has won the hearts of the people.
At this time, Qi Qi also returned.
"Sister, how is the inner palace playing?" Qi Lin asked her.
Qi Qi is now in the Ancient God Realm, as long as it is not too much, it is not difficult to enter and exit the boundary between the inner palace and the outer palace.
"I didn't play, I'm afraid my brother will be in trouble. Qi Qi shook her head.
"This is not your Monkey King's character, the sky is falling, and I can help you withstand it. Qi Lin touched Qi Qi's head.
"Brother, this is Jixia School Palace, and my grandson is not stupid. Qi Qi was angry with her brother for seeing her as a rebellious little girl who could only do nonsense.
Qi Lin laughed.
"What were you talking about with Sister Chang Xi just now? What spiral of silence?" Qi Qi heard from a distance.
Qi Lin told her about his plan, and after listening to it, the girl sighed, her face was indifferent, for her, what her brother did was a matter of course.
"Now let's go to the first person. β
......
He Yueyun is cultivating in a valley, as one of the few women in the Heavenly Order Society, her status in the Society is not very high, and where she learns to pay attention to strength, even if He Yueyun has a good figure and a mature and charming temperament, it is useless.
It is very rare for Guiguzi of the Zongheng family to come to the school palace to teach, and this time it is rare to have a few days, and Yueyun has also changed his usual charming posture and seriously pondered the art of closing. It's just that like other students, there is no personal guidance from Zhuzi, and some of the experience is really foggy and vague.
"The one who scheming, the way of heaven and earth. To change the yin and yang, the four o'clock opening and closing to transform all things; vertical, horizontal, reverse, repetition, and resentment must be carried out from this. β
A voice suddenly sounded in the valley, and Yueyun paused, smiled slightly, and stroked his long hair charmingly.
This voice has been coming to my ears a lot lately.
"Senior Brother Lynch, it's not good to come and peek at Senior Sister's cultivation. He Yueyun said, paused: "Well, what the junior brother said just now is a shutting technique?"
"Yes, does Senior Sister want to learn?"
He Yueyun smiled. "Senior brother wants to communicate with me? That's free, junior brother is now a celebrity in the outer palace, and senior sister is afraid that she can't compare to you." β
"I'm here to make a deal with my sister. Qi Lin stated his purpose.
"What deal?"
"I teach the experience, but the senior sister is responsible for helping me talk in the school palace. Qi Lin said it again. "My purpose is the Big Three. β
"Do you know that since you defeated the two senior brothers, Zhi Qingyun and Shi Jingtian, the Heavenly Rank Society has forbidden you to communicate with you, at least for a month. β
"Senior brother, do you want to ascend to the Heavenly Rank and enter the Inner Palace?"
"Well, if Senior Sister doesn't agree, I'll go find the next one, dozens of Heavenly Rank Senior Brothers in the Outer Palace believe that there will be people with a long-term vision. Qi Lin is about to leave.
"Wait. He Yueyun shouted, the beautiful woman's eyes turned, and the pros and cons of this transaction had been quickly calculated in her mind, on the whole, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages for her, and it was better to gain experience than to gain nothing and maintain the reputation of the so-called Heavenly Order Society.
"I can help you encourage the other senior brothers, and I can also spread the views of the Big Three, but I have one more condition. β
"You say. β
"I heard that your two Yiyin are unparalleled in the world, and the concubine wants to learn something, can you let the concubine open her eyes, maybe the concubine can also understand something. β
"Yes. Qi Lin promised her.
"The concubine did it...... Smoke Sleeves!"
In the next few days, things developed as Qi Lin expected, and in just a few days, rumors about the humiliation of the three giants and the avoidance of war were already in the dust, and everyone talked about it before and after class. The crowd was full of ridicule for the triumvirate to avoid fighting, all kinds of ridicule, and the voices of fanning the flames became louder and louder.
At the same time, Qi Lin and the Tianjie students also started an exchange, and no one could refuse Qi Lin, who could be appreciated by Guiguzi on the Zongheng family. Not only do they want to gain more experience, but they also have the luck mentality of defeating Qi Lin, these Heavenly Rank students are very psychologically bright, as long as they defeat Qi Lin, they can take away all his current fame and status, but there is no doubt that no one can do it.
The defeat of every Heavenly Rank student also contributed to the voice of the Big Three, and even the Heavenly Rank Society began to be dissatisfied with He Shouqian, and Wu Danqing became a turtle with a shrunken head.
The situation in the outer palace is becoming more and more intense, and if this continues, everyone can see that the Heavenly Order Society will also collapse.
Day 10.
Wu Danqing finally couldn't sit still, he couldn't allow himself to bear the reputation of a coward when he entered the inner palace, which would make him a laughing stock in the inner palace, and the Heavenly Order Society called an emergency meeting.
"He Shou lacks seniors, since that Lynch is so conceited, please ask your seniors to teach him a good lesson with Confucianism. β
For this reason, Wu Danqing summoned all the Heavenly Rank students who had communicated with Qi Lin and failed, and asked the old man to use the method of holding the remnants from their combat experience to learn the methods that could defeat Qi Lin.
He Shouque's expression was solemn, he had already begun to prepare from the moment he saw Qi Lin's amazing heaven and earth.
"Young people are proud of their hearts...... It's up to us old bones to help sharpen the water chestnut. He Shouque joked.
The second of the Big Three, He Shou, is vacant.
