Chapter 89: "Night Raid on Xuzhou"
Chapter 89: "Night Raid on Xuzhou"
".''
Fat Dragon looked at the skinny young man sitting on the ground with confusion and hesitated to turn around, glancing at Chen Qiu behind him. Chen Qiu nodded and walked towards the depths of the desolate forest. Only then did Fat Dragon turn to the young man and casually said, "Let's go, I'll listen to your explanation."
"Thank you, thank you!"
The skinny young man, seeing this, hurriedly crawled up from the ground with a grateful expression, following the two into the forest.
After they left, the burly man, who had been filled with fear, suddenly felt his heart lighten. He looked at the two remaining members of the group who had stayed behind.
One of them was a silent man, short in stature, with a full beard, and the other was a scholar with a disability, sitting cross-legged on the burly man's shoulder.
They didn't seem like they could put up much of a fight.
The burly man casually moved his body towards another part of the desolate forest, testing the waters as he spoke, "May I ask what cultivation levels you two have?"
As his voice fell, the bearded man's Foundation Establishment cultivation was revealed without any attempt to hide it.
"Not bad."
The burly man, who had been preparing to take advantage of the situation to escape, immediately stopped his movements. He looked down at the ground, expressionless, and idly dug at the crimson soil with his hands, pulling at the dry grass around him. It seemed that today was destined to be his last day.
"That..."
Deep in the forest, the skinny man glanced at Chen Qiu and then turned to Fat Dragon, whispering, "We used to be from the same hometown. This..."
"We're all from the same place," Fat Dragon said impatiently. "Just say what you have to say."
Standing to the side, Chen Qiu took out a soundproof talisman from his pocket, activated it, and covered the group with it, ensuring their conversation wouldn't be overheard by outsiders.
"Is this big brother also from our hometown?"
The skinny man looked at Chen Qiu, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes. Then, he took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Since we're all from the same hometown, let me introduce myself first. I am Liu Zide, an Offering Priest of the Yuncheng Wang Family."
"You may not have heard of the Yuncheng Wang Family, but since you're in Fufeng City, you must know about the Jiuniu Festival. I was the one who planned that entire festival. With just one ticket, I earned thousands of spirit stones, which is the total profit of the Yuncheng Wang Family for over a decade!"
"Oh?"
Chen Qiu, who had initially shown no interest, suddenly became intrigued. He sized up Liu Zide from head to toe, and a glint of appreciation flashed in his eyes. "You organized that festival?"
"A perfect mix of gambling and capability. Excellent."
He had always thought that the person who organized that festival was a genius, perfectly capturing the world's lack of entertainment and making a killing. He never expected that it was his fellow townsman who had done it, and this piqued his interest in the man before him.
"Gambling is a skill my master possesses; it has nothing to do with me."
Seeing that Chen Qiu acknowledged his past achievements and even showed appreciation, Liu Zide finally relaxed. He breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the conversation would be much easier from now on.
He naturally knew that Chen Qiu was the leader of this group.
It was only now that he realized Chen Qiu was also from his hometown.
When he first arrived in Fufeng City and saw Fat Dragon shouting about the Zhatian Gang, he wasn't sure if it was a coincidence or a shared name, but he secretly remembered it. When he shouted earlier, he hadn't expected it to be his fellow townsman.
"Let me introduce myself properly," Liu Zide said solemnly, looking at the two of them. "In my past life, I was a small boss of an MCN, with hundreds of marketing accounts under my command. Our main source of income was generating traffic."
"I didn't learn any real skills in my previous life, just how to manipulate traffic."
"Since we're from the same hometown, I'll be straightforward. I've sniffed out a huge business opportunity, but it's too big for me to handle alone. I need to find a partner."
"I recorded the Jiuniu Festival on a Memory Stone, and now I'm spreading it in two cities. My original plan was to sell the Memory Stones to various cities and sects, allowing them to spread the footage and quickly increase my master's fame.
"With my efforts, I managed to set up two cities within a day's work, successfully getting the Young Master on the rankings before midnight yesterday."
"But after midnight, when I saw the content of the Heavenly Blessing, I realized that the value of the Celestial Path Cultivation Pill far exceeded the cost of the Memory Stone. I noticed that both of you have already made it onto the rankings, and you must also know that the Heavenly Blessing grants Celestial Path Cultivation Pills."
"The value of the Celestial Path Cultivation Pill is self-evident."
At this point, Liu Zide's entire demeanor changed, and he became extremely excited, his voice trembling with enthusiasm. "In my initial plan, I calculated the cost of the Memory Stone, but now the profit from the Celestial Path Cultivation Pill far surpasses the cost of the Memory Stone!"
"Then we can completely ignore the cost of the Memory Stone and distribute it for free across all channels!"
"As long as there are enough Spirit Stones to initiate it, I can definitely mass-produce at least three hundred people!"
"The more vulgar and exaggerated the content, the more it will attract attention. This world has not yet experienced the dirty baptism of capitalism. As long as some vulgar and exaggerated content is introduced into the market, and it's even free to watch, it will be incredibly eye-catching and bring a huge amount of fame to the protagonist!"
"For example, one woman and nine men!"
"Nine men with their faces covered, revealing only one woman, and letting this woman gain fame."
"To make it even more sensational, we can add some dramatic elements, like nine evil Malevolent Cultivators who do no evil, and a pure and innocent Daoist Saintess."
"This world is filled with brothels, but no one has ever filmed such content. It's a huge market gap because watching the spectacle and going to brothels are not conflicting activities. We can even collaborate with brothels!"
"Or we can find people with special talents!"
"For example, two people with the 'Nine Bulls Power' and 'Nine Yin Strength' traits, we can use the Memory Stone to record them, and the spread will definitely be very wide. The fame of these two people will skyrocket!"
"I can think of countless ways!"
"The so-called Great Xia's first Array Cultivator doesn't even rank in terms of fame. Ordinary people who don't care about cultivation won't bother about who the first Array Cultivator of Great Xia is or who they love. It's none of their concern."
"But these ordinary people are the ones with the largest base. While they may not care about who the first Array Cultivator is, they will definitely be unable to resist the Nine Bulls Power and Nine Yin Strength, things they've never even heard of!"
"As long as we control these three hundred people we promote, the Heavenly Blessing they receive every day will all be ours!"
"Nearly a thousand Celestial Path Cultivation Pills every day!"
Liu Zide seemed to have already envisioned the fruits of victory, his neck swelling and face turning red with excitement. "That will be an enormous profit, and the initial investment only requires a portion of Spirit Stones as startup capital."
"The Great Xia territory consists of ten provinces and 365 major cities. Fufeng City and Mountain Opening City are both within the Xuzhou province."
"Xuzhou is a continent with a total of 47 major cities."
"The Great Xia territory is too vast for us to cover all the cities, but we can take over these 47 cities. The ordinary people in these 47 cities will be our crucial force for climbing the rankings!"
"The only key to this plan is speed!"
"We must occupy all the cities within Xuzhou before others realize what's happening, so even if they do react and try to imitate us, they can only go to other provinces."
"Although the profits will be significantly reduced."
"But there's a benefit to this approach. If some powerful families become jealous of us, their initial focus will be on expanding into other provinces, not on us. At least, the priority of seizing our fruits will be relatively lower."
