It was probably because he had been scared by the heavenly curtain's previous punishments.
Otherwise, today, Tang San would have definitely shouted 'black box' at the heavenly curtain a couple of times before giving up.
Of course.
Although he didn't do that this time.
He also didn't stay idle.
He immediately started shouting about the unfairness, feeling that the heavenly curtain was genuinely biased.
And facing his indignation.
Ning Rongrong was not flustered at all.
She immediately retorted, speaking up.
"What do you mean, biased?"
"Tang San, look closely, this isn't the third question given to me."
"Instead, it's a group vote given by the heavenly curtain, okay?"
"This is the heavenly curtain's operation, what does it have to do with me?"
"Group… vote?"
Hearing Ning Rongrong say this.
Tang San gradually calmed down from his anger.
He turned his head to look at the heavenly curtain behind him again.
Only then did he realize that, according to the current situation, the heavenly curtain had already spoken, continuing to explain further.
It clearly stated the main reason for its actions this time.
To put it bluntly, it wanted to give other people on the Douluo Continent a sense of participation, rather than just being spectators.
Its reason was very brief.
And it was this simple reason that was genuinely welcomed by the people of the Douluo Continent.
"This is good, it really gives a sense of participation with a group vote."
"That's right, although a lucky viewer was drawn every once in a while before. But with so many people on the Douluo Continent, who knows how long it would take to be drawn as a lucky viewer."
"Voting is better. From the heavenly curtain's meaning, after every lucky viewer's question, the heavenly curtain will initiate a group vote, allowing all viewers on the Douluo Continent to participate. Isn't this much more interesting than just watching? Strictly speaking, the heavenly curtain can't even be said to be targeting; it should be considered a genuine benefit."
The people of the Douluo Continent discussed animatedly.
The ordinary students of Shrek Academy had similar reactions.
Seeing everyone jubilant, Tang San's face turned even paler.
Ning Rongrong's face, however, showed a look of having everything under control.
She turned her head and even actively raised an eyebrow at Tang San, saying.
"See, Tang San, this wasn't my decision. If you have the ability, go find him and tell him."
"You…"
Seeing him like this.
Tang San was naturally choked with anger.
Just as he was about to say something more.
He heard Yu Xiaogang beside him remind him.
"Stop arguing! The voting results are out!"
"What, they're out so fast?"
"I haven't even voted yet."
"What's going on with the heavenly curtain? Didn't it say everyone could vote?"
Tang San's expression changed drastically when he heard this.
"If you go over time, it's void. Didn't you read the relevant rules?" Ning Rongrong turned her head, looking at Tang San like this, only feeling amused.
"How can it be void? After all, even a small piece of mosquito meat is still meat."
Tang San, however, was in no mood to argue with her anymore; he was genuinely anxious now.
And seeing Tang San pacing around like an ant on a hot pan, anxious.
Ma Hongjun, Tang San's good brother, couldn't help but show a hint of unbearable pity on his face, and after a moment of hesitation, he actively spoke up to comfort him.
"Uh, Tang San, actually, you don't need to be so sad, because even if your vote was added, it wouldn't make much difference to the result. After all, the voting ratio is an astonishing 99% to 1%."
"Unless you have some kind of veto power, otherwise, let alone one vote from you. Even if you had a thousand votes, ten thousand votes, they would be useless here; they wouldn't even cause a ripple."
"How much!?"
"99%!?"
"Are these guys going too far? Do they have to see others make a fool of themselves?"
Tang San, who had just been anxious, was stunned again when he heard this result.
"Are they bored?"
"What are these 99% of people thinking?!"
Tang San was truly infuriated.
Seeing his exasperated look, Sword Douluo, who had been mostly silent until now, unusually chimed in to elaborate.
"Ahem, how should I put this, I don't know what the 99% of people are thinking, but I do know a little about the thoughts of the 1% of people."
"And I suspect that quite a few of them share the same thought as me."
"Grandpa Chen Xin, Tang San treated you like that before, and you're still optimistic about him?"
Ning Rongrong was bewildered.
"Oh? Senior Sword Douluo, you're actually in that 1%!?"
Tang San heard this.
He recovered from his anger and was also greatly surprised.
He hadn't expected that after Ning Rongrong's previous question.
Sword Douluo would still stand by him.
For a moment, he felt smug.
While marveling at his own extraordinary charm.
He looked up, just about to say a few more words to win him over.
After all, this was a Level 96 Titled Douluo.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's pillar of strength.
But he hadn't expected that his words, already at the tip of his tongue.
Before he could finish speaking.
"I'm truly grateful to Senior…"
Sword Douluo on the opposite side had already waved his hand, interrupting him immediately and saying.
"No need to thank me. This old man isn't feeling pity for you or can't bear to see you make a fool of yourself. The reason I didn't click down and am in this 1% is simply because I slipped my hand."
"Slipped what? Hand… slipped my hand??" Tang San was stunned.
"Yes, why not?"
"It was my first time seeing the single-person selection button given by the heavenly curtain, and in a moment of excitement, I didn't know how to operate it and slipped my hand. Can it be understood?"
"What, you're not convinced?"
Sword Douluo explained.
Finally, after speaking, he squinted his eyes and looked at Tang San.
The pressure of a Level 96 Titled Douluo was released.
Feeling this terrifying pressure.
Tang San immediately felt a double critical hit to his body and spirit.
His face turned crimson, like a pig's liver.
He wanted to retort something.
But he didn't dare to actually say it out loud.
After thinking for a long time.
He could only nod somewhat dejectedly, squeezing out two words from between his teeth, replying.
"It… it's… okay…"
The conversation between the two was being broadcast live by the heavenly curtain to everyone's eyes.
Because of this, seeing Tang San's uncomfortable expression, as if he had eaten a fly.
The people on the Douluo Continent found it incredibly amusing and burst into laughter.
"Hahaha."
"I'm dying of laughter."
"Look at Tang San's expression. Was Sword Douluo doing this on purpose?"
"I really didn't expect Sword Douluo to seem so rigid. He actually speaks so humorously. Was he deliberately teasing Tang San?"
"Probably not. Because I also chose wrong just now."
"That's right, it was my first time seeing the selection button appear in front of me, and I really got excited and chose wrong."
"Who would have thought that the heavenly curtain would actually respond if you just said 'confirm' in your imagination?"
"This heavenly curtain is truly amazing."
