Xing Mo deeply believed that as Lin Luo was a newcomer with no background, what he said would not be as influential as Han XinYu. If he took the lead, all the artillery fire would be concentrated on him, which would only outweigh the gains.

“Don’t let him get on StarNet.”

“Right.” Xing Mo also didn’t want Lin Luo to see those unpleasant words on StarNet.

After they boarded the long-distance shuttle, when Lin Luo wanted to turn on his light brain he was immediately stopped by Xing Mo on the grounds that he needed a rest. Lin Luo didn’t doubt him, so after eating the snacks that Xing Mo gave him, he lay down in the dormant cabin ahead of time.

After Xing Mo waited for Lin Luo to lie down, he set up a full sleep mode for him, then turned on the light brain, sent a message to Yin Ye, and narrated the matter briefly. Yin Ye quickly sent a reply with only two words – I know.

Although there was nothing superfluous, Xing Mo knew that Yin Ye would definitely intervene in this matter. After all, Lin Luo was his cash cow, and he could not stay out of the matter.

Before the first wormhole jump was about to start, Xing Mo also lay in the dormant cabin.

After five hours, the brief hibernation ended.

Xing Mo got out of the dormant state and immediately turned on his light brain, and was pleasantly surprised to find that things had changed drastically.

Two hours ago, Han XinYu’s brother Han XinYuan issued a concise statement on his personal social platform.

In the post, he stated that he is also a mental ability user, and his ability can indeed play a supporting role when betting on rocks, but it pretty much just makes their perception more acute and observation more meticulous. It is still necessary to judge whether it is worth gambling on a piece through reasonable analysis. It is definitely not cheating. He said that he and his younger brother Han XinYu will cooperate with the gambling association’s review. Without any concrete evidence, all those who attacked Han XinYu violated the basic law of the empire and violated the interests of the citizens of the empire. He reserves the right to sue.

As soon as Han XinYuan’s statement came out, those who were desperately trying to guide public opinion before became a lot more at ease. StarNet accounts are all bound to the user’s own information, and there is no such thing as a trumpet [1]. They could also post under an anonymous name, but once Han XinYuan really filed a lawsuit these people would immediately have nowhere to hide and would not be able to escape.

Immediately afterwards, several more respected stone gambling masters expressed their thoughts on Han XinYuan’s statement on their personal social platforms. They believed that using mental power to assist stone gambling and improve accuracy was an innovation that should be supported. After all, the purpose of the empire in encouraging stone gambling was not to make people seek excitement and fame, but for the future development of the empire. The more outstanding stone gambling talents in the empire, the more energy it can provide for the nation and the military, and the more powerful abilities it can cultivate for the empire, making the empire stronger and more stable.

The stone gambling masters who spoke up at this time were all masters who had won extremely high honors in previous stone gambling competitions, and their opinions were very heavy.

If Han XinYuan’s statement had played a role in restraining negative public opinion, then the posts of these stone gambling masters had guided public opinion in a positive direction.

StarNet once again started a large-scale discussion on this matter, but there was a lot less ridicule and insults.

Jessica, who was also on a shuttle, was looking at her light brain with a gloomy face. After several stone gambling masters spoke out, more and more voices questioning her appeared on her social media page.

“These damn old things!” She clenched her teeth so hard she almost broke her silver teeth with hatred, as the original good situation was completely ruined by these old things!

Her points have almost reached the threshold of the advanced rank. She wanted to use this competition to earn more points and build momentum for herself, but instead she was crushed by the two beginner rank boys, Lin Luo and Han XinYu. Now, how can she endure this tone? In the last game, both of them were sent to the hospital, and they still won the game! She will lose her face!

Her contract with her employer is about to expire. She was trying to take advantage of this opportunity to upgrade her rank so she could increase the price of her contract again. Now that things have turned out like this, how can she talk about it?!

And the two of them turned out to be ability users of the mental system! Obviously sitting at home by extracting energy can earn a lot of credits, but you have to participate in gambling games?! That’s not fair at all!

That’s why she couldn’t help posting such a contemptuous post that night. Originally she just wanted to vent, but she couldn’t imagine the effect being this good! If not for the interference of these old guys, maybe it really would have been able to suppress these two people who might pose a threat to her in the future…

However, the current situation clearly does not allow her to guide public opinion anymore. She can only hold back the anger in her heart and wait to see the results given by the Stone Gambling Association.
