I Am A Prodigy

Chapter 749: Migration Hype

They were blatantly singled out!

Within the Stick Nation, all its people were stunned. It was then followed by a wave of unresigned outcry.

[Discrimination. That’s definitely discrimination!]

[On what grounds are you banning us? Sue him! Let the Interpol get him! I’m unconvinced!]

[This affects the life and death of countless people. Elixir Pavilion’s actions are too inhumane.]

[Protest. I’m vehemently against this!]

[Aren’t there anyone that cares about this? Are we letting him do as he please?]

[Elixir Pavilion should make the formula public to benefit the whole world!]

...

It caused a great commotion. However, apart from some Chinese people gloating over the Stick Nation’s misfortune and their verbal warfare with the Stick Nation citizens, nobody else made any response.

At that moment, all the countries were celebrating that Elixir Pavilion was opening their supplies to them. Who would dare to take the Stick Nation’s side? The moment they do so, what would they do if Elixir Pavilion blacklisted them as well?

Previously, the Stick Nation was already making a scene over the Spring Festival Gala incident. Ye Lingchen gave the order to blacklist them and cut supplies to the Stick Nation for all the elixirs they produced.

At first, the Stick Nation treated that as a joke. At that moment, they finally felt nervous.

Canine Bane Pill and Smooth Breathing Pill were like miracle cures. Who would not feel moved? Who dared to guarantee that they would not come in contact with cats and dogs? If their country had those two elixirs, then it would undoubtedly be a great insurance for the people of the country. In some ways, it was considered a type of honor!

Unfortunately, apart from the Stick Nation, the entire world had access to those elixirs. The difference was just too much. The Stick Nation’s citizenship just dropped by a whole level compared to the other countries.

Ye Lingchen did not pay any heed to the discussions going online. He passed his days in a routine fashion. Apart from practicing his martial arts, he would oversee the development of Miracle Island. Everything was going on as planned.

Five days passed by slowly. During that time, the spiritual energy within Ye Lingchen’s body grew by 50% and he began to have some inkling on the refining of elixirs suitable for Warriors. He had collected all the required materials and planned to refine some before the International Martial Arts Tournament.

Meanwhile, those five days were hell for the Stick Nation.

At first, they were making quite a scene, calling for actions to be taken against Elixir Pavilion and demanded an explanation from China. They were full of themselves. As time passed, its citizens were dumbfounded, and eventually went into panic.

Seeing the people in other countries being cured one by one and posting celebratory posts, the panic within them grew stronger. They were all humans, but on what grounds were they being treated differently?

The voices of begging grew stronger as they wished for Elixir Pavilion to give them a chance and save the people of the Stick Nation. It was especially so for the victims of rabies and asthma. They were all crying and begging at the same time. Every day it dragged on, they would have to suffer more and face greater peril.

The Elixir Pavilion ignored them outright while the rest of the world did not dare intervene. Finally, the citizens of Stick Nation could only go ask for an explanation from their government.

Countless people gathered before the Stick Nation’s hospital, causing a jam at its gates.

“Rabies is now curable, yet you’re unable to get your hands on the Canine Bane Pill. You need to save my child!”

“My daughter’s asthma cost me hundreds of thousands in treatment at your hospital, but there’s hardly any effect! Now that there’s the Smooth Breathing Pill, why aren’t you importing them?! Are you trying to scam more money from me?”

“You guys are useless! Go apologize to Elixir Pavilion and ask for their forgiveness!”

“Just what sin did our country commit? Well, it doesn’t matter. You should concede to Elixir Pavilion.”

...

At the Stick Nation’s emigration building, there were even more people than the hospital. The queue was incredibly long.

“Quick, we can’t stay in this country any longer.”

“I’ve already bought a house in China. All I need to do is move over.”

“I’m so jealous. They’re restricting emigration right now. F*ck this. They’re not letting us go!”

“That’s right. Who doesn’t want to migrate to China now? Regardless, the Stick Nation is really not a good place to be now.”

“I heard that the Elixir Pavilion will be making more miraculous elixirs in the future, and its price will be even cheaper. Those Chinese people are really fortunate.”

...

Apart from that, the recent air tickets to China were all cleared out. Even the price for personal shoppers for the elixirs skyrocketed.

A lot of people dug out the past events and unloaded their fury on Hyun-Min Kim once again. Some of the more extreme ones had even suggested sacrificing Hyun-Min Kim to placate the Elixir Pavilion. If not for Hyun-Min Kim’s brazen actions in China, they would not have angered Elixir Pavilion.

Stick Nation’s Heaven Pavilion.

The group of people present were all of high social standing. Not only were they martial artists, they were influential figures in the entire country who would usually be indifferent even in the face of disasters. At that moment however, all of them had a nervous and helpless expression on their faces.

A middle-aged man with an exhausted look in his eyes asked expectantly, “How did it go?”

“It’s not going anywhere. The Warrior’s Department is not giving us any response. They claimed that the Elixir Pavilion is not under their jurisdiction.”

“B*stard!” the middle-aged man cursed, “What about the other countries?”

“They said that they’re collaborating happily with the Elixir Pavilion and are unwilling to look for trouble. We’re told to settle it ourselves...”

“F*ck!” The middle-aged man suddenly sat up straight. He took a deep breath and asked, “How’s the current situation?”

“In the past few days, we’ve been losing over one hundred thousand citizens and innumerable assets...while even more people were leaving the country in the name of travel...”

The veins on the middle-aged man’s forehead pulsated as he muttered through gritted teeth, “Miracle Island. Elixir Pavilion. Ye Lingchen!”

No matter how strong a country was, its citizens were the foundation. Moreover, with the Stick Nation being a small country, such a huge loss of its citizenship would incur unimaginable losses.

“I should’ve killed that brat at sea that day!” Sung-Yoon Lee had a vicious expression. His eyes were filled with great killing intent.

The middle-aged man waved his hand as his eyes flashed. “Lock down the emigration, then announce to the public that we’re in the midst of a deal with Elixir Pavilion and would soon be able to import their elixirs! We have to calm the citizens’ unrest for now.”

Following that, his gaze fell on Sung-Yoon Lee. “We’re in a different era now. The Void Realm is where the true value lies! We’ll soon obtain a new Void Realm and the future achievements would be beyond Elixir Pavilion’s imagination. It’s not too late to seek vengeance then!”

“That kid is naturally not an issue.” Sung-Yoon Lee laughed condescendingly. “The world is completely changed now. Those petty tricks of his is insufficient. If he dares show himself before me again, I’ll kill him with a single finger!”

“How’s the preparation around that Hell’s Gate?”

“We’ve already locked down the waters surrounding it. The Warrior’s Department had made multiple appearances but were all sent back by me!” Sung-Yoon Lee laughed.

The middle-aged man snickered. “China already has four Void Realms and one of them is in its expansion stage. Most of their experts are tied down. They’re unable to handle their own issue at this moment. It’ll be a joke for them to try fighting for this location with us!”

He paused for a moment, then continued, “That Miracle Island is just nearby. If the chance presents itself, just lure a portion of the Void Realm creatures over to flatten the island!”

Sung-Yoon Lee’s eyes brightened up as he bellowed in laughter, “Wonderful plan! Miracle Island is that brat’s headquarters and Elixir Pavilion is built there. I want that brat’s efforts to be ruined in one go!”
