Chapter 339 - 315: Is This Meant to Tempt Someone to Death?

Chapter 339: Chapter 315: Is This Meant to Tempt Someone to Death?

Domestically.

The Xuanfeng Alliance had become quite famous recently. News about it frequently appeared online.

First, it was the Xuanfeng Bank, which had previously caused a huge stir internationally.

The news that Xuanfeng Bank had replaced Rui Shi Bank, in particular, shocked countless people.

People back home were, naturally, delighted to see it happen.

After all, the two bears were still fighting, and everyone knew who was behind it all. The crucial point was that Rui Shi Bank had gotten involved and picked the wrong side.

Many domestic netizens had commented that by abandoning its neutral stance, Rui Shi Bank was doomed to fail sooner or later.

So, after Xuanfeng Bank replaced Rui Shi Bank, domestic netizens were in an uproar, feeling they had been remarkably prescient.

Countless people had posted comments at the time, saying things like, "I told you Rui Shi Bank was going to be finished!"

At that moment, they all felt like they were Zhuge, directing a victory from a thousand miles away.

And so, they firmly etched the Xuanfeng Alliance and Xuanfeng Bank into their minds.

Later, after Xuanfeng Wind Dream-Returning Wine became popular, countless people online started recommending the liquor, and many went to try it.

And then, it became an unstoppable trend.

This liquor from the Xuanfeng Alliance became a massive hit in the country, and everyone knew about it.

After that, the Xuanfeng Alliance’s recruitment of teachers from within the country at high salaries also trended for a while. The pay was enviable to many.

And then came the Xuanfeng Facial Mask.

This time, the craze was even bigger. After all, women in the country are very conscious of their beauty, and their status is arguably the highest of any country in the world.

The products they chased after naturally generated the most buzz online. For a time, the internet was flooded with scenes of beautiful women scrambling to buy and use the Xuanfeng Facial Mask.

Coupled with the magical effects of the Xuanfeng Facial Mask and the fervent recommendations from those beautiful women, the Xuanfeng Alliance became even more deeply ingrained in the public consciousness.

If you were to ask which foreign country used to have the most buzz and be the most popular, it was either the bear or our "bros" from Ba Country.

But now, it was definitely the Xuanfeng Alliance.

And in the past few days, domestic netizens suddenly found their online feeds inexplicably flooded with videos related to the Xuanfeng Alliance.

This was exactly what was happening to Huang City. While scrolling through videos, he came across another one about the Xuanfeng Alliance:

"As everyone knows, before the Xuanfeng Alliance stabilized, it was a region plagued by frequent wars. The conflicts resulted in the deaths of many young men, so after stabilization, the ratio of women to men is 3:1. Because of this, many beautiful women in the Xuanfeng Alliance worry about getting married and can’t find boyfriends or husbands...!"

The crucial part was that while this narration played, the video showed all sorts of beautiful women in the Xuanfeng Alliance—shopping in malls, waiting for buses, heading to work... beautiful women in all kinds of situations.

And the key thing was, these women were genuinely beautiful.

Huang City really wanted to complain. ’Who the hell are they trying to look down on by showing me this kind of video? Who are they trying to crush?’

’Don’t they know I’m over thirty and can’t find a damn girlfriend?’

’Every time I go on a blind date, they either demand a fully paid-for house, or a BBA, plus a 300,000 bride price. If I had all that, would I still be damn single?’

’These women on the blind dates are so damn brainless.’

’No wonder they’ve become leftover women.’

’Seriously, if I had all that, would I even be interested in those blind date types? I would’ve been off the market long ago.’

A few times, when he thought things were going well with a woman and he was about to confess his feelings, she would just say they weren’t a good fit. And every time he saw them getting into a BMW, an Audi, or a Mercedes-Benz afterward, he knew exactly what was going on.

That’s just how it is.

But it’s understandable, too.

’If you’ve been dating for a long time, you can ask a woman not to be materialistic. But when you’re still in the chasing phase, before you’ve even started dating, what’s wrong with her choosing someone with better prospects?’

’I can also choose, and I also like to choose, pretty ones with good figures.’

’But for women who are already at the blind-dating stage and still don’t get the situation, it’s just damn disgusting.’

’They’re leftovers that other men didn’t want, yet they still make these demands. Why should we have to take them?’

But showing this kind of video to an old "single dog" like him—wasn’t that just cruel?

Huang City swiped the video away in retaliation. Out of sight, out of mind.

But after scrolling past only a few more videos, he came across another one about the Xuanfeng Alliance.

"I was originally a male teacher in a rural village, the kind that makes a little over 2,000 a month. Girls working within the system don’t want guys like us, and those outside the system think our income is too low..."

"So, when I saw the Xuanfeng Alliance was recruiting teachers, my heart was moved. 13,000 a month, plus housing and other subsidies—I just had to come."

"Who knew that in the Xuanfeng Alliance, I’d become such a hot commodity? It seems like the local girls can’t find boyfriends or husbands. I started dating a girl from the Xuanfeng Mask Company."

"She has a great body, a beautiful face, and even earns over 20,000 a month. I feel like I’ve reached the pinnacle of my life, achieved a high*..."

This rural male teacher even included a selfie video of himself and his girlfriend.

And indeed, his girlfriend was stunning, with a great figure. She was the type that would make you want to befriend the teacher the moment you saw her.

"FUCK..." Huang City cursed out loud.

’Isn’t this just pure hate-bait?’

’Find a girlfriend like that in this country on a 2,000-a-month salary? Only in your dreams.’

’Forget 2,000, even with his current 13,000-a-month salary, finding someone like that in this country is a joke. Unless you’re big*, last long, and are also handsome.’

’Otherwise, a beauty like that who earns over 20,000 a month? You think you can get your hands on her without earning at least 500,000 a year? You’d have to keep dreaming.’

Huang City helplessly swiped the video away. But today, it was as if the short-video company was determined to mess with him, or maybe brainwash him, because it wasn’t long before another video about the Xuanfeng Alliance appeared.

"My name is Chen Hao. Back home, I was an unemployed loser with just a middle school education and no prospects. One day, I entered a Women’s Country, a place called the Xuanfeng Alliance. It was full of beautiful women who couldn’t get married. When a handsome guy like me showed up, all the women went crazy. They set me up on blind dates with more than a dozen of them. In the end, I hit it off with the daughter of the Minister of Finance from the Xuanfeng Department and now I’m the warden of the First Prison..."

In the video, this Chen Hao even showed off his luxurious villa, complete with a swimming pool!

From a middle school-educated, unemployed loser to marrying the daughter of a finance minister and becoming a prison warden—it was truly the stuff of fantasy.

Even movies wouldn’t dare to have a plot like this.

The crucial part was that in the comments section, some people actually recognized this Chen Hao, and they were all expressing their disbelief.

He really had been a punk from Youcheng, and he really had only graduated from middle school.

This...

"They really don’t want people to live!" Huang City hastily exited the short-video app, clutching his chest as he found it hard to breathe.

He finally understood what it felt like to be jealous to death. He was having trouble catching his breath.

Damn it, these guys were either rural teachers earning 2,000 a month or unemployed losers. The key was that every single one of them had reached the pinnacle of their lives.

Why couldn’t it be him?

Thinking of this, Huang City paused for a moment.

’Yeah, why can’t it be me?’

All these people reached their peak after going to the Xuanfeng Alliance. Besides, he was a "rectangular solid object directional movement engineer." The Xuanfeng Alliance was in a phase of development and construction; he wouldn’t have to worry about finding a job.

But how could he get to the Xuanfeng Alliance? How could he stay there? After all, he’d need a visa and things like that.

Huang City wasn’t the only one. Online, countless netizens, their faces twisted with jealousy to the point of a heart attack, were all starting to wonder about the same thing.

Once the idea was planted, the natural question was: how to get to the Xuanfeng Alliance, and how to stay there?

This was exactly the effect Wang Kai wanted. It was also the designated advertising campaign from Qingfeng Network Company.

The core idea was simple: brainwashing.

It was inspired by the advertising blitz of a certain platinum product from back in the day.

Once enough of these brainwashing videos had been seen, they would form a fixed memory in people’s minds. When those feelings of envy, jealousy, desire, and anticipation reached their peak...

...that would be the time to unleash the killer move.

And that killer move would drive these people completely insane.
