Chapter 378 - 353: Everyone Was Guided

Chapter 378: Chapter 353: Everyone Was Guided

Netizens from every country had their attention captured by the messages posted by celebrities from their own nations.

Then, as if guided by an unseen hand, netizens across the globe soon discovered that celebrities in other countries were doing the exact same thing.

They were also thanking the Xuanfeng Alliance.

It seemed to be a global phenomenon.

This only made people even more curious.

Once this curiosity was sparked, it became impossible to suppress. People were desperate to get to the bottom of it.

Just then, someone online pointed out something even more surprising.

It was that all these celebrities seemed to be overweight.

That’s right, all of these celebrities were overweight.

This coincidence made everyone even more intrigued.

A group of overweight celebrities from all over the world, all thanking the Xuanfeng Alliance in unison—no one would think that was a coincidence, right?

Moreover, this curiosity grew by the day, making them itch with the need to know more.

But those celebrities soon grew anxious.

Because they suddenly realized they were about to run out of their nutrient supplement.

...

Griss had been in a much better mood lately.

You could even say she was downright cheerful.

Every day, she could record her weight loss data.

Every day, she got a little bit slimmer.

In high spirits, she opened her safe.

But she discovered there was only one vial of the nutrient supplement left inside.

The smile on her face instantly froze.

’How could it have run out so quickly?’

’My weight loss journey isn’t finished yet.’

’What am I going to do?’

After experiencing the effects of the Xuanfeng Nutritional Potion, being suddenly faced with this situation put her in an unimaginably foul mood.

Griss immediately asked her assistant, "Kelly, how long until the Xuanfeng Alliance’s product launch conference?"

Kelly replied at once, "Ma’am, the Xuanfeng Alliance only gave everyone a one-week trial. The trial period just ended. They haven’t announced a specific time for the conference yet."

"Kelly, please go and ask them right away. The Xuanfeng Alliance’s phone number is on the invitation," Griss said urgently.

Kelly nodded, took the invitation, and contacted the Xuanfeng Alliance.

A moment later, Kelly returned with a regretful look on her face. "Ma’am, I have some bad news. The people at the Xuanfeng Alliance said they haven’t started their advertising campaign yet. They won’t hold the conference until the product has generated some public buzz."

Griss frowned. "How long will that take? I only have one vial of the nutritional potion left."

Kelly said helplessly, "I don’t know. I suppose it needs to reach a certain level of popularity? After all, for a new product, you need to make sure enough people know about it."

"So it’s uncertain? What am I going to do?" Griss’s brows furrowed tightly.

Then, she immediately said to Kelly, "Kelly, help me film a video. I’m going to advertise this nutrient supplement. That should generate a lot of buzz for it."

As she spoke, Griss handed her phone to Kelly. It was clear she was being led by the nose.

Because this was exactly Lu Feng’s goal.

He knew that once those celebrities experienced the potion’s effects, they would be unable to resist continuing their weight loss.

And he had deliberately sent them a small amount, just enough to leave them in a frustrating, in-between state.

Then they would become impatient.

With a little guidance, they would voluntarily help promote the product.

This was a form of psychological manipulation.

He had learned this from domestic game developers.

After all, in those pay-to-win games from domestic developers, why is crafting materials and equipment so easy for the first 70% or the first few stages, only to suddenly increase the difficulty at the very end, or require certain materials that can only be bought in the store by topping up with premium currency or Spirit Talismans?

They prey on this exact psychology.

Because you’ve already come so far and are just one step away, you feel unwilling to give up without seeing it through. This creates a powerful impulse to spend money.

What he was doing to these overweight celebrities was a different method but achieved the same result.

Looking at Griss, it was obvious how effective this tactic was.

Before long, Griss posted a video.

Many of her fans curiously clicked on it and were stunned.

Because Griss had lost weight.

Seriously, she had lost a lot of weight.

They still remembered her previous video, where she still had rolls of fat and looked like a water barrel.

But now, she was visibly a whole size smaller. She had at least escaped the "water barrel" category and could be considered full-figured—just an extremely full-figured version.

This excited many of her longtime fans, who felt like they were dreaming of the old days when Griss had a hot body and a sweet face.

Back then, many of them had probably had certain fantasies about her in their dreams, right?

It was the sort of thing one couldn’t help but think about, yet couldn’t speak of.

Now, it seemed Griss had succeeded in losing weight.

Didn’t that mean the original Griss was about to make a comeback?

What was even more amazing was that Griss’s last video seemed to have been filmed just a week ago.

In just one week, she had shed a visible layer of fat.

What kind of price did Griss pay to achieve this?

How much suffering did she have to endure?

When these fans finished watching the video, expressions of disbelief appeared on their faces.

They finally understood why Griss had thanked the Xuanfeng Alliance earlier.

"Hello everyone, I’m Griss. As you can all see, I’ve lost a lot of weight.

And this is just my result after one week. The reason I was able to achieve this in such a short time is all thanks to a new weight-loss nutrient supplement product created by the Xuanfeng Alliance.

I’ve been drinking this nutrient supplement for the past week, and I haven’t done any exercise or had any surgery.

Now you can all see the results for yourselves. I believe that with enough Xuanfeng Nutrient Supplement, the old Griss will be back very soon."

The words "Xuanfeng Nutritional Potion" instantly registered in everyone’s minds.

So that was why Griss had thanked the Xuanfeng Alliance.

Because the Xuanfeng Alliance had created such a magical weight-loss nutritional potion.

And seeing Griss’s current condition, one could imagine just how effective this nutritional potion was.

It wasn’t just Griss who posted a video. Many other overweight celebrities, feeling the same unbearable impatience as her, also started to voluntarily promote the product.

Their fans were equally shocked and also came to understand the reason for thanking the Xuanfeng Alliance.

The Xuanfeng Alliance had actually produced such a miraculous weight-loss product.

These celebrities were the ones who had their appetites whetted by the nutritional potion and were more impatient by nature.

After seeing them post promotional content, the other celebrities also contacted the Xuanfeng Alliance to inquire. Naturally, they too were guided, and so they followed suit and posted their own promotions, all for the sake of buying the nutrient supplement sooner.

For them, this promotion was as simple as lifting a finger to post a video.

The result was that, in a short period, the Xuanfeng Nutritional Potion became a viral sensation worldwide. Nearly every overweight person knew about this product.

Countless eager buyers started asking everywhere where they could buy it.

This also stunned and shocked the weight-loss and health supplement companies.

After learning about the effects of the Xuanfeng Nutritional Potion, they had planned to cooperate with the Xuanfeng Alliance. They had even drafted many proposals, including marketing plans, hoping to impress them.

Now, they had thrown their marketing proposals straight into the trash.

Compared to this marketing tactic, their own plans seemed utterly childish.

Moreover, the Xuanfeng Alliance had directly guided a global audience. In an instant, there wasn’t a single person who hadn’t heard of the Xuanfeng Nutritional Potion.

They even analyzed this method and discovered that while it seemed simple, the spread of all the information online was too much of a coincidence.

This wasn’t something the celebrities could have achieved by working together. It was as if a hidden force was controlling the entire internet, emerging at critical moments to guide public opinion—guiding it simultaneously in every country, weaving everything into a single thread, and perfectly controlling every step.

To accomplish something like this on a global scale, what kind of network control capability was required?

The Xuanfeng Alliance’s ability in this area was somewhat terrifying.

Any other company would definitely be unable to achieve this, at least not so perfectly.

...

Xuanfeng Alliance.

Wind Manor.

Yasna was already sitting at the tea table with Lu Feng, watching the news playing on the screen in front of them.

They naturally had perfect control over the events unfolding on the international web. After all, they were the ones guiding it.

Yasna now felt a sense of admiration for the Governor and blushed at his own previous pettiness.

To achieve this level of global hype, sending out ten billion Xuanfeng Coins’ worth of products was completely worth it.

In this regard, he would have to learn a great deal more from the Governor in the future.

Just then, Lu Feng asked Yasna, "This level of hype should be about enough. Have all the invitations we sent out been answered?"

Yasna nodded. "We sent out 240 invitations, and all 240 have responded. The distributors of weight-loss and health supplements have also replied that they will attend, and they’ve expressed their intent to cooperate with us."

"Moreover, aside from those we invited, many other people have contacted us to inquire about the situation. It seems they also know about the invitations and want to participate."

"The majority of them are from malls, supermarkets, and e-commerce companies around the world."

After finishing his report, Yasna also picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.

The Qingfeng Tea was still tantalizingly fragrant.

He was starting to quite like this way of discussing business over tea.

Lu Feng smiled. "We should pay attention to these channels as well. We can’t focus entirely on the companies we invited. Also, go ahead and send the time for the product launch conference to those celebrities. After all, they did give us free publicity, didn’t they?"

"Yes, Governor." Yasna nodded. After returning, he immediately had someone send the news to the celebrities.

Griss, of course, received the news very quickly. Once she knew the confirmed time, she jumped up in excitement. "I knew it! I knew helping with the promotion would work. See? It was a success!"

She was filled with a sense of accomplishment, completely unaware that she had been guided and used the entire time.
