Ji Miaofu heard his junior brother's answer, did some calculations, and then said:
"Well...it's really not much, but it can't be said to be too few. It's barely one-tenth of all the disciples in the valley."
The strong man thought for a while and asked his senior sister:
"Senior sister, by the way, what proportion of the disciples who support you currently account for?"
The Taoist nun heard the junior brother's question, pondered for a while, and replied:
"Senior sister, for decades, she has been doing sect tasks whenever she has free time. Over time, there should be thousands of monks who have met through this method."
"Besides that, the disciples who support me in the first place should not be much different from you."
"If you add the two together, they can barely account for 15% of the disciples in the valley..."
When Lei Xinghe heard the numbers given by the Taoist nun, he made some calculations and said:
"In other words, adding up the two groups of people who support me and those who support my senior sister, they can only account for 25% of the number of disciples in the valley at most."
The Taoist nun nodded upon hearing this.
"That's about it."
After saying this, she paused for a moment and continued:
"Ye Song's popularity is too low. Only some bloodthirsty fighting maniacs are willing to sympathize with him. The disciples who are willing to support him in Lingxin Valley only account for less than five percent at most."
"In other words, the remaining 70% of the disciples in the valley will basically be divided equally between Han Yun and Sikong Yueling."
"The ratio of men to women among the disciples in the Spiritual Heart Valley is about 50:50. Each of them, by the time they vote for the first time, should have about 35% of the disciples behind them to support them."
At this point, the Taoist nun lowered her head, made careful calculations, then raised her head again to look at her junior brother, and said:
"In other words, we have to poach at least 5% of Han Yun's corner in order to avoid being eliminated in the first voting."
"In terms of specific numbers, it would be more than 1,500 monks. In order to ensure that we can stabilize Han Yun's head, it is best for us to recruit 2,000 monks."
When the Taoist nun mentioned this number, she couldn't help showing a look of distress on her brows.
"Hey, I've been piecing together here and there, and the 7,000 spirit stones that I've managed to collect with great difficulty are all going to be spent before I can warm them up..."
After hearing this, Lei Xinghe thought for a while and his eyes were a little strange. He hesitated for a while and then asked:
"Senior sister...are you sure these spirit stones...are enough?"
Seeing that her junior brother's tone was strange, the Taoist nun stretched out her left hand as white as jade and began to calculate.
"The disciples in the valley who are eligible to vote, regardless of their status, have only one vote."
"In other words, we only need to win over the lowest-level outer disciples. However, if we want them to change their minds, the amount of spiritual stones they need to spend cannot be too few. At least it must be equivalent to one month's salary for them."
"As for an ordinary outer disciple in Lingxin Valley, his monthly salary is five spiritual stones. In other words, for two thousand monks, the total number of spiritual stones required is... ten thousand."
Ji Miao's expression froze when she reached this point.
"It seems...there's still a shortfall of three thousand?"
The two looked at each other, and both saw the word "poor" in capital letters in each other's eyes.
After a period of silence, Ji Miaofu rubbed his face, took a deep breath, and said to his junior brother:
"Senior sister's friends have basically been borrowed by me. How about, junior brother, you also borrow some from the monks who support you?"
When the strong man heard this, his expression suddenly turned bitter.
After all, borrowing money... is really hard to talk about.
If those who support him know that a dignified Sequence disciple has gotten to this level, his qualifications will probably be lost.
The Taoist nun saw the expression on her junior brother's face and knew the tangle in his heart.
She smiled slightly, and her tone suddenly became very gentle:
"Of course, if you don't want to, you can. There is another way."
The strong man was delighted when he heard that there was a second method.
"Sister, tell me quickly."
Ji Miaofu paused for a moment, then slowly said:
"That is, while there is still less than half a year before the competition in the ring, you stop practicing and do sect tasks every day until you earn enough spiritual stones."
"You can choose one of these two paths."
When the strong man heard this, his brows suddenly knitted together.
Today's situation is obviously incompatible with having your cake and eat it too.
So, is it more important to be strong or to practice?
It's a tough choice.
The strong man thought hard for a long time and finally made up his mind.
That is to exchange your strength for spiritual stones.
After figuring this out, the strong man suddenly felt relieved.
What's the use of face, it can't be eaten as food!
He looked up at his senior sister and replied:
"Senior sister, I've already made up my mind. I'm just looking for someone to borrow spiritual stones. What's the big deal? Just keep these three thousand spiritual stones on me!"
Upon hearing this, the Taoist nun showed approval on her face, nodded and said:
"Junior brother, you have finally realized that you should not be burdened by false fame. This is the attitude that monks like us should have."
"is that so?"
Lei Xinghe scratched his head, always feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of anything to refute.
Just as he was secretly wondering what was wrong, he suddenly heard his senior sister say:
"As long as our plan goes smoothly and Han Yun can be kicked out in the first round of voting, we will have a huge advantage from now on."
The strong man heard this, thought for a while, and asked with some confusion:
"That's not right, senior sister."
"According to expectations, in the first round of voting, Sikong Yueling's support rate was 35%, and your support rate, after digging out the 5% that belonged to Han Yun, was only 100%. Thirty-thirds and a little more.”
"Although there is a one-month buffer time before the second round of voting, which allows you to win over the group of disciples who originally supported Han Yun."
"But in the same way, the other party can also win them over."
"When the opponent is already a few points ahead of you, you can't say you have an advantage no matter how you look at it, right?"
When the Taoist nun heard this, she smiled and shook her head.
"Junior brother, if you can ask this question, it can only mean that you don't understand people's hearts."
"Do you know that Sikong Yueling's outstanding appearance and temperament are actually a double-edged sword?"
"This kind of appearance and temperament, while pushing her to the top of the stars, will also attract countless ill intentions from the same sex."
When the Taoist nun said this, she paused for a moment to let the strong man understand and digest the meaning of these words, and then continued:
"Think about it, most of the monks who support Han Yun are female disciples."
"When Han Yun is kicked out, we will reveal some rumors."
"Let's just say that if it weren't for the emergence of Sikong Yueling, which divided the male disciples who originally supported Han Yun, Han Yun would have won directly in the first round with an approval rate of more than 50%."
"At this time, most of the unwilling female disciples will definitely target Sikong Yueling. At this time, we will take the opportunity to win over."
Hearing this, Lei Xinghe also reacted in his heart. He naturally took over what his senior sister said and said:
"In this way, the monks who originally supported Han Yun will inevitably turn around and support us in order to vent their anger. In the second round of voting, the senior sister will definitely win."
Ji Miao smiled and nodded.
"exactly."
"Actually, I thought of an extremely simple and crude method at the beginning."
"That means that you will directly defeat Sikong Yueling during the competition in the ring, squeeze her out of the top three positions, and make her lose the qualification to be voted."
"But this method is too risky, let alone whether you can win against Sikong Yueling in half a year."
"Even if she wins, those male disciples who originally supported her will still target me, who has a very good relationship with you, because you squeezed her out."
"In addition, before Sikong Yueling made his debut, they originally preferred to choose Han Yun. Under the combined influence of the two factors, Han Yun's victory in the second round became a certainty."
