Chapter 539 Does the Free and Unfettered Sect have the money to hire engineers?
Netizens have a very strong impression of the Xiaoyao Sect.
It was fine when no one mentioned the Free and Unfettered Sect, but once someone did, everyone realized that the name of this newly established sect was widely known.
Almost half of the StarNet cultivators knew the name of the Free and Unfettered Sect.
In addition, the online trolls hired by other sects smeared and distorted the truth. After Jiang He clarified twice but did not clarify again, negative comments about the Xiaoyao Sect increased.
In truth, Jiang He's clarification didn't really help.
After all, even after the clarification, netizens neither listened nor believed it.
Netizens on the StarNet are quite fond of following trends, which has led to the Xiaoyao Sect having a very poor reputation.
Now that netizens have seen the mention of the Free and Unfettered Sect in the comments, they immediately recall the various trending topics about the Free and Unfettered Sect from a few days ago.
Out of curiosity, many cultivators went to the Free and Unfettered Sect's live stream in groups to watch.
Perhaps it's because the reputation of the Free and Unfettered Sect is so bad.
Many people still harbor doubts.
Is the Xiaoyao Sect as poor and dilapidated as described online?
A large number of netizens with an insatiable thirst for knowledge flooded into the live stream.
As time went by, the number of viewers in the Xiaoyao Sect's live stream increased.
As soon as netizens appeared, they noticed that the live stream camera was pointed at the bottom of the mountain where the Xiaoyao Sect was located.
The vast expanse of greenery was unusually open, and amidst the greenery stood an old door with peeling paint.
The sudden appearance of a door resembling a secondhand market on the live stream startled viewers.
I haven't seen it for months, and the door still hasn't been changed.
Before the cultivators could take a closer look, the live stream suddenly switched to another scene.
A large shed flashed before everyone's eyes.
The shed was covered with a plastic sheet and supported entirely by four pillars. In front of the shed, five large characters remained—
“Xiaoyao Sect Canteen”
Upon seeing the cafeteria, netizens couldn't hold back their excitement, and the previously quiet live chat suddenly exploded with comments:
[You're telling me this is the Free and Unfettered Sect? This is just a beggar's den, it's the same thing!]
You know what, even beggars' huts don't look like this. At least they have a place to stay. As for the architecture of the Xiaoyao Sect, it's hard to say. It doesn't shelter from the wind or the rain. I suspect it was built by the sect to remind people of the bitter past and appreciate the sweet present. Is this some kind of sect culture?
Hahaha, you're giving the Free and Unfettered Sect way too much credit. As far as I know, the Free and Unfettered Sect is genuinely poor. It looked like this a few months ago, and it's still like this now. I don't believe they can't get funding. So there's only one possibility: the Free and Unfettered Sect truly has no money.
That makes a lot of sense.
Is the Free and Unfettered Sect a new sect? I scrolled around for ages before finally reaching the bottom, and while other sects had pretty many viewers, this one at the very bottom hadn't even broken a thousand. I was so curious that I clicked in. Where have all the Free and Unfettered Sect members gone? It's strange that there aren't any sect members watching the live stream.
I just joined and have never heard of the Free and Unfettered Sect before. Watching the live stream, I thought they were doing something abstract, hahaha.
That must be really tough. Only in the Free and Unfettered Sect could such a dilapidated gate and a large greenhouse coexist.
It's really going to collapse. I always knew the rumors were that the Xiaoyao Sect was poor, but I didn't expect it to be this poor. You Xiaoyao Sect...
Hahaha, a plastic greenhouse! What era is this from? It's rare to see such a structure still existing in the cultivation world.
I feel a little sorry for the cultivators of the Free and Unfettered Sect. Tsk tsk, this environment, these conditions, I wonder how they usually cultivate and sleep. It seems like being a cultivator in the Free and Unfettered Sect is a very miserable life.
I don't know if they're suffering or not, but I do know that a poor sect like the Free and Unfettered Sect really doesn't need to participate in the sect competition; it would only be a disgrace.
Let me be frank, the Free and Unfettered Sect is very likely to come in last place in this year's sect competition.
Oh no, now that you say that, I had other options when I bet on Venus, the bottom-ranked sect. I didn't even realize that the Free and Unfettered Sect was a registered sect. I should have bet on the Free and Unfettered Sect.
I always thought the Free and Unfettered Sect was doing something abstract, but after watching the live stream, I realized they seem to be just too poor; even the cultivators posting online seem to be in poor spirits.
You only saw the poverty of the Xiaoyao Sect, but I saw vast fields. Does anyone know what's planted in them?
What can you grow? If you're poor, you can't grow anything. At most, you can grow some low-grade spiritual plants.
It doesn't look like it. I think it's just an ordinary field, maybe it hasn't been cleared yet, it's covered with dried plant branches and twigs.
……
[…]
The discussion among netizens was intense, and terms such as "Xiaoyao Sect", "Xiaoyao Sect is poor and stingy" and "Xiaoyao Sect cultivators are pitiful" began to dominate the screen.
The increased popularity of the live stream attracted even more cultivators.
The bewildered cultivators stared blankly at the Free and Unfettered Sect's live stream, finding the two screens cleverly switched to establish the tone of the broadcast immediately.
The expressions of each cultivator who entered the live stream changed extremely smoothly.
From doubt to surprise to shock, it only takes a second.
The camera angle changed again.
It must be said that the cameraman tracking the Xiaoyao Sect's live stream had a very precise grasp of the camera angles.
Without the gate and the shed, what appears next are the various strange and bizarre buildings of the Xiaoyao Sect.
As the aerial cameras entered the Xiaoyao Sect, staff members were constantly adjusting the angles. Similar to the academy competition, the cultivators captured by these cameras received bonuses in addition to their regular wages.
The prize money depends on the popularity of the live stream.
The higher the popularity, the higher the prize money.
The cultivators and livestream administrators who were initially assigned to the Xiaoyao Sect's camera crew had a hard time adjusting to the fact that it was the Xiaoyao Sect's livestream room.
For them, the Xiaoyao Sect's live stream had few viewers and little popularity, so it couldn't be converted into prize money.
Both groups of monks who were working felt extremely unlucky.
It wasn't until the cultivator who switched camera angles accidentally filmed the gate of the Xiaoyao Sect that he realized filming the gate was generating buzz, and he continued filming the Xiaoyao Sect's dining hall.
Now, the perspective has shifted again, and the cultivators in the live stream are seeing the true face of the Free and Unfettered Sect in its original form:
[This building is all crooked and twisted. Does the Free and Unfettered Sect not even have the money to hire an engineer?]
6. This is the first time I've seen architecture without any style. To be precise, it's not even architecture at all.
Ugh, what an ugly building.
This isn't just ugly; it's down to the point of being unsightly and lacking any aesthetic sense.
Is this also inside the Free and Unfettered Sect? There are quite a few buildings, but... they look a bit disgusting.
I feel like the cultivators of the Blood Alliance would explode if they saw this. The Xiaoyao Sect's dining hall is built with sharp angles, but it lacks any symmetry. I never imagined that one day the engineers hired by the Xiaoyao Sect would build such a simple, square building.
I think it's highly likely they don't have the money to hire engineers.
@Xingxing @Liuyi @Bale, everyone come and see! The houses of the Xiaoyao Sect are hilarious, they're really spectacular!
