Chapter 787: Chapter 747: A Fierce Rush to Buy!
“The work of the Mahjong Bandits?”
At first, Todd was dumbfounded, which quickly turned to rage: “How did I not know about this?!”
“It’s bad enough they splashed manure on my face in the game, but now they’re pinning this shit on me outside the game too?!”
“Fuck, do they think I don’t have a temper?!”
Todd was furious. He clicked on the post, wanting to see who was framing them.
But when he opened the post, he found it was made by a throwaway account, with an absurd name: [One Ten Thousand | True].
Since the Mahjong Bandits got famous, all the combinations of mahjong tiles had been snatched up as usernames.
Todd, as the real ‘One Ten Thousand,’ couldn’t even grab that account for himself.
Now seeing someone impersonating him, he was fuming with anger.
But there was nothing he could do about it.
[Whirlpool Game Forum] isn’t like Cloud Dream’s own forum, where all users can only post with their real Cloud Dream account.
In the [Whirlpool Game Forum], if you have enough mobile phone numbers, you can register as many accounts as you want – ordinary people are helpless against these throwaway accounts.
Seeing the flood of angry comments under the post, Todd was truly at a loss for words.
—Others, at least, have a place to vent their anger, while he not only doesn’t have that, but has to endure even more groundless abuse!
At this moment, Todd deeply felt what it meant to be “impotently enraged.”
He even had the idea of taking revenge on society—
At midnight tonight, just before the final Dragon enters the scene, he plans to prepare more than a dozen large manure trucks, all parked around Qiang’s house.
That way, when the Dragon lands, he can set off a chain reaction, giving the players ambushing nearby a huge surprise!
“Since you all are cursing me, wouldn’t I be at a loss if I haven’t done anything?”
Todd was too frustrated to handle both the physical and reputational torment. In the end, he really hijacked a fire truck, emptied the water inside, and headed straight for the breeding farm.
—It wasn’t hard, since there were lots of fire trucks around the racetrack now, all working hard to clean the track.
However, when Todd arrived at the breeding farm—or more precisely, still more than 500 meters away from the entrance, he had to stop in shock.
He was astonished to see that there was a traffic jam at the entrance to the farm!
These people couldn’t all be here to buy chickens, could they?
So, they were all here to steal shit?!
Todd felt his view of life had been greatly shaken.
…
…
Meanwhile, Lincoln also saw the long procession of cars and felt a wave of nausea…
“Where do so many weirdos with heavy taste come from?”
“Not at all!” Mavis defended the players, “According to the player ratio, there aren’t that many of them!”
“Moreover, a significant portion of them came here after being attacked by feces in the race.”
“So what’s going on?” Lincoln was even more speechless. “The victims all start taking revenge on society?”
“Should we shut down the breeding farm?” Princess Camille Victoria suggested, “Or at least, make the animals stop defecating…”
She couldn’t bear to watch the competition any longer.
The official live broadcast lens was focused on the frontline Dragon and Tiger Fight team and the sections of the race where feces had not yet attacked.
However, the director could not predict everything. Sometimes, when the players were in a heated battle on the screen and there had been a crash, a car would suddenly explode nearby, spraying juices everywhere, instantly giving the live broadcast room a ‘flavor’…
It was truly hard to guard against!
As the director searched for suitable shots, he would actively avoid those “thin-skinned and big-stuffed” cars.
Fearing they were not filled with something good…
The director felt bitter inside.
It was true that every time there was a “mistake” in the shots and unsightly scenes appeared in the live broadcast, it would cause a huge sensation among audiences. The players would laugh non-stop, and the screen would be filled with comments saying “Director, deduct your salary.”
The live broadcast effects were maxed out, and the audience loved it.
If it were some other situation, Lincoln might have just gone along with the flow.
But this time it was a no-go!
Because the damage from this situation was too strong, it could even impact the lifespan of the racing game mode.
That’s no exaggeration.
Lincoln remembered that there was once a university where two students were dissatisfied with the cafeteria staff. In anger, they filled two stainless steel bowls from the cafeteria with feces in protest.
— But that’s not the problem.
It was when they were criticized by the counselor, and after reflecting on their actions, they washed the two stainless steel bowls clean and returned them…
Now that’s a big problem!
All teachers and students in the school refused to eat in the cafeteria.
Even if the principal tried to persuade them patiently at the entrance of the cafeteria and repeatedly guaranteed they had thrown away the two bowls, it didn’t work.
No matter what was said, the teachers and students were unwilling to go back…
So, Lincoln was worried that if things continued like this, players wouldn’t want to participate in the racing competitions anymore.
The loss would be too great.
Therefore —
What was originally a sunny virtual world suddenly became clouded with dark clouds, hanging low with thunder and lightning rolling, with roaring winds and flashing lights.
In the blink of an eye, heavy rain poured down to clean the entire race track.
This works much better than a fire truck!
However, the sudden rain also greatly increased the difficulty of racing, with limited vision due to fog and slippery roads, leading to more players crashing, rear-ending, hitting barriers, or flipping over.
But at least players who were eliminated due to this reason wouldn’t have any complaints.
…
The problem on the track was temporarily resolved, but this wasn’t a permanent solution.
— Even with the heavy rain, the line outside of the breeding farm didn’t shorten.
Apparently, they intended to use feces, not only for the racing competitions but also for many other purposes.
Lincoln didn’t know where they were going to use it, and he wasn’t interested in finding out.
But he had to curb this phenomenon.
Closing the farms or making chickens, ducks, pigs, and sheep unable to defecate were suggestions he would not adopt.
He had a better strategy.
Hunger marketing… no, using the term “hunger” here is weird. Let’s call it —
Rationing.

Outside the breeding farm, Todd had been waiting patiently for a long time before he finally arrived at the front of the line.
“One truckload of pig manure, please!” he said without hesitation, choosing the most disgusting option.
“Sorry, we’re sold out of pig manure,” the staff replied.
“?”
Todd was confused for probably the nth time today.
“It sold out?”
“Yes, there have been so many people buying manure recently that we’ve run out of stock.”
— In the design of Yunmeng, these feces were indeed intended to be used for fertilizers; [farming] gameplay was already planned for Yunmeng.
“What about chicken manure? Or anything else? I’ll take a truckload of whatever you have,” Todd said, no longer picky.
“All gone,” the staff replied, shaking their head. “Our inventory for the past half a month has been sold out. These days, poultry manure sales are almost catching up with chicken meat.”
Todd couldn’t believe it.
Of all times, it had to run out when it was his turn?
How unlucky was that?
He was reluctant to accept it and asked, “When will you have more?”
The staff scratched their head. “Tomorrow, 6 am.”
Todd was left speechless.
Did he seriously have to get up early tomorrow and rush over to grab feces?
Moreover, by then Qiang’s house would be gone, so even if he got the poop, there would be nowhere to use it.
Cars lined up behind him honked their horns, urging Todd to hurry.
But Todd stood still, furious beyond measure.
