Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

The five so-called bamboo art masters from Japan were all waiting proudly for Guan Changsheng's praise.

After all, in their eyes, Guan Changsheng is an expert in this field and should be able to discern quality.

But then Guan Changsheng said, "What's the use of these things?!"

That completely enraged them!

"What do you mean, what's the use?! This is art! Artwork! As a bamboo art maker, how can you say such a thing!" The first Japanese person said angrily.

"Uh..." Guan Changsheng scratched his head, "Artwork? Would anyone buy this to put in their home?!"

"It's not about putting it in homes, it's about collecting, do you understand collecting?!" The second Japanese person exploded too!

In their minds, even if this was a competition with tactics, it should at least be a clash between artists, something refined!

Who the hell is this bumpkin who just showed up from nowhere?!

"Is it valuable?!"

Guan Changsheng's eyes suddenly chilled, "These flashy, yet utterly useless things are valuable?!"

He was actually a bit happy, if this kind of thing was valuable, could bamboo art find a new market in the future?!

"Pfft!"

All five Japanese collectively spat blood!

Damn it!

This is an artwork! It's art!

How did it become flashy but useless junk when it comes to your mouth?!

That's too much!

However, Guan Changsheng's words resonated with quite a few people in the audience.

After all, not everyone can appreciate this so-called art, it seems more common folks like us are the majority.

"What kind of blunt truth is this?! Really!"

"Cough cough cough! Isn't this exactly what I have been thinking? Anyway, I can't appreciate these so-called artworks. They're just flashy and odd!"

"Same, same!"

"Then why did you come to the bamboo art exhibition?!"

"We came to pose! Really!"

"Hehe, exactly. Once we step out, we can also say we've seen an art exhibition, right?"

"Damn! I've been watching art exhibitions with you commoners this whole time!"

"Well, there's nothing we can do, there are probably only a few who could appreciate these so-called artworks here."

"..."

The audience was discussing, and those who said they couldn't understand were by far the majority.

This made the faces of those five Japanese on stage extremely ugly!

They knew that art isn't meant to serve the masses and that many people came just to pose.

But some things you can do, you shouldn't say aloud!

Now you've said it out loud!

You've pierced the window paper!

Now the news would change from "Japanese Bamboo Art Masters' Works Invoke Deep Thought" to "Japanese Bamboo Art Questioned as Not Art"!

Damn it!

If this spreads widely, it's really going to smear mud on the pants!

This Guan Changsheng, too hateful!

This is smashing their rice bowl!

The faces of American collectors were also looking very ugly!

Guan Changsheng's smashing wasn't just at the Japanese, but also at the value of his collection!

Damn! Are all these people from Heavenly Dynasty so unconventional?!

Why are they all like this?!

He was already regretting—why the hell did he come to Heavenly Dynasty?!

Zhan Longyan's face was also ashen!

Originally, I thought Guan Changsheng was just a hillbilly easy to manipulate!

But damn, before he could even make his move, Guan Changsheng slapped him back!

Damn it!

"Alright, master Guan, hurry up and show your work instead of spouting nonsense here. It's meaningless!"

Zhan Longyan stepped forward, putting the matter on the agenda.

No choice, if they keep talking like this, let alone target Lu Xiaobu, they are going to shoot themselves in the foot!

Upon hearing Zhan Longyan's words, the murmur of the crowd gradually subsided.

"Yes, master, present your work and show them what true bamboo art is!"

"Exactly, show them clearly and plainly what bamboo art really looks like!"

"Having been appreciated by Young Master Bu, it definitely can't be wrong!"

"Yeah, beat them down!"

"..."

The audience was all staring at Guan Changsheng, eagerly awaiting his presentation!

In their view, since Guan Changsheng dared to speak earlier, he must have even better works.

After all, he is representing Young Master Bu in this contest; he couldn't possibly be joking about Young Master Bu's reputation!

What the audience didn't notice was that the five Japanese men all had a sneaky grin on their faces.

Work?!

Where does Guan Changsheng have any work!?

They were just bullying Guan Changsheng because he came without any work!

Though previously countered by Guan Changsheng...

But turning their tactics against them, isn't it just turning against himself?!

The higher you fly, the harder you fall!

You say it shouldn't be gaudy, useless stuff.

Well then, bring out something that isn't gaudy, is useful, but still qualifies as art!

Can't produce it?!

Heh, I'll crush you!

Zhan Longyan watched this scene and nodded satisfied—it was finally back on track!

Lu Xiaobu will probably be here soon; returning to the main issue at this time is quite good.

And at this moment, Guan Changsheng finally panicked.

He realized what mistake he had made!

That is, he was not just himself anymore, he now represented their school, represented Young Master Bu!

He embarrassed himself, and in the end, all of this would reflect on Young Master Bu!

He slipped up with that statement earlier, and now it's bad!

The more Guan Changsheng thought, the more desperate he became, sweat completely covering his forehead!

He didn't know what to do anymore!

Watching Guan Changsheng's demeanor, the Japanese finally showed a broad smile.

"Mr. Changsheng, what's the matter? Are you feeling hot?!" the first Japanese mocked.

"Maybe Mr. Changsheng is just thinking about which work to use to enlighten us!" the second Japanese added maliciously.

"Of course, Mr. Changsheng said our works aren't art; since he was so confident to say that, he must be confident to show his work!" the third Japanese said sarcastically.

"Mr. Changsheng, you didn't come here without any work, did you! If so, what you said earlier was too much!" the fourth Japanese said sinisterly.

"Mr. Changsheng, I hope you don't disappoint me. After all, if you just talk but can't produce any work, then I will have to hold you accountable! Oh, just like you did with your previous master—Mr. Lu Xiaobu, hold you accountable!"

The fifth Japanese was even more direct, it was simply a threat!

Hearing these words, Guan Changsheng became even more anxious!

He really didn't understand anything about art!

And no one had informed him either!

Meanwhile, Lu Xiaobu had already arrived at the doorstep.
