Chapter 319: Divination of Heaven
Sunflower Seed continued, "The Federation itself has freedom of speech, so joining a religious sect isn't a big deal."
"But that military academy student actually kept contacting students and even tried to force some to join. Furthermore, quite a few people in the various colleges were actually bewitched. Their extreme behavior refused to change despite repeated warnings, and three people from Blue Star were also involved..."
Everyone sank. Yun Mo snorted coldly. This is really interesting. Any kind of shit can be thrown at Lan Xing.
Kui Xiaozi said, "Because of the severe impact and the involvement of many military academy students, this mission was assigned to the school."
After he finished speaking, the group fell silent.
Yun Mo asked, "What's the name of the sect?"
Sunflower Seed said, "It's called the Divine Way."
Liu Yueban: "Oh, that's a pretty impressive name. Do you really think you can predict the future?"
Kui Xiaozi continued, "Don't disbelieve me. I saw eight out of ten comments on the game post saying their predictions were accurate. This is one of the reasons for their rapid rise."
Yun Mo frowned. Could he really be a fellow traveler? What was he after? Was it just money?
She thought for a moment, then asked, "Is it fun for a black and white cat to burn incense?"
Kui Xiaozi immediately responded, "No! But this game has definitely pioneered a new marketing concept in the business world—buy the casket and return the pearl!"
Yun Mo: "What do you mean?"
Zhao Yao continued, "Let me explain. I just checked, and the game's developer is called Bu Tian Dao Company. Its original name was Bing Dao. Two years ago, it nearly went bankrupt, and then the original shareholders sold the company, and gradually transformed the original game into Black and White Cat Burning Incense."
After finishing his speech, Zhao Yao showed a comparison of the game interface before and after: "Actually, apart from the gimmick and interface, the content is basically the same."
They are all strategy-based level-clearing games, which are not particularly outstanding in today's highly developed StarNet.
In short, without the gimmicks of divination and mental training, it would never become popular and it would definitely not make money.
Therefore, it relies on tempering mental strength to attract people to play games, which is what Kui Xiaozi calls buying the box and returning the pearl.
But then again, if it is really possible to temper one's mental strength, is there still a need to develop games?
Liu Yueban retrieved the statistical data and was shocked. He muttered to himself:
"Black and White Cat Burning Incense has been online for two years now. It wasn't very visible before, but it became active two months ago and now has over one billion registered users..."
"Hiss..." Everyone gasped.
"How could it be so fast?" Lin Fancheng asked.
Liu Yueban analyzed, "Because the talismans that temper spiritual power are so rare. You have to clear the level three times to get a chance to draw a prize, and the chance of winning in a single draw is only 5%. Not everyone can clear the level."
Zhao Yao added: "Yes, so they introduced another way to quickly obtain talismans."
Now even Sunflower Seed was curious. She didn't know what this was. "What is it?"
"Promote! Registered users can simply promote the app to three friends for a chance to win a prize. Friends who then share the promotion with their friends will also have their chances increased. With each level of promotion, the number of winners will increase rapidly."
Everyone exclaimed that the person who could come up with this method to make a rubbish game popular was definitely a talent.
Gu Zi shook his head: "It's more than that. With such a huge public opinion crisis, do you know what Bu Tiandao Company did?"
Everyone: ...What?
Gu Zi said: "Bu Tiandao immediately clarified that they are just a game development company, have never established any sect, and are not responsible for the radical remarks made by the public."
Liu Yueban typed a bunch of ellipsis.
"So, you mean, we're all adults, and everything is just the fans' behavior, and it has nothing to do with them?"
Gu Zi didn't say anything, but shared a video message from the founder of Bu Tiandao in the group. This person spoke confidently, saying that he would fully cooperate with the government investigation...
The cause and effect of the matter was basically clear, but Yun Mo's brows were getting tighter and tighter.
The gimmicks were fortune-telling, mental strength training, and eight hundred star coins... She felt offended.
This matter does not seem to be simple, but where exactly the problem lies remains to be verified.
Yun Mo asked, "So, what is the mission of the club?"
Sunflower Seed replied: "Looking for clues, clues about the participants, the people behind the scenes, and the mastermind behind the scenes."
Yun Mo thought about it and felt that it should not be difficult for her to find clues. This matter was not only related to the three Blue Star people, but also to her live broadcast room. She didn't know what the plan was behind it.
She had a premonition that what was going to happen next would bring about a huge change in the situation.
After a moment of silence, Yun Mo said decisively, "We have to take this mission."
Liu Yueban asked, "What about the match with the Jiuxiao Club?"
"Notify them and push it back," Yun Mo said.
Liu Yueban had already opened the communication button and was about to dial out when Wu Jin had already updated the challenge post on the campus forum.
The words are full of brotherhood.
Wu Jin: @Yunmo, our classmates are deeply lost. The entire Jiuxiao Club plans to prepare for the Bu Tiandao investigation mission. The competition with your group will be postponed until the end of the mission. What do you think?
Yunmo smiled and immediately replied: I agree.
Considering the large number of people under investigation, they may not cooperate.
Wu Jin started a new group, calling on all major communities to accept the task at the same time and make a contribution.
It was obvious that Jiuxiao Society was trying hard to build momentum for itself, but at this juncture, no one raised any objections.
Pick up the task early the next morning.
Yun Mo looked at the big words on the task board and suspected that he was blind. The investigation spearhead was quietly pointing to the live broadcast room of mental strength training?
She looked at the assigned teacher with a confused look in her eyes:
"Teacher, what does this mean? Why are you investigating that 'Spiritual Power Tempering Live Broadcast Room'?"
The teacher was taking notes and spoke without looking up, "The reward talisman provided by Bu Tiandao, regardless of whether it has any effect, looks almost identical to the one in that live broadcast room. Do you believe that there is no connection between the two?"
Yunmo: ...I believe it!
The teacher continued, “We left a message for the host, but received no response.”
"But no matter what, the live broadcast room is also a suspect that needs to be investigated."
"Your mission is to investigate and try to find the person in the live broadcast room and ask her to cooperate and provide intelligence."
Yunmo: ...Fuck! Investigate herself?
"Where can we find someone?"
The question seemed silly, and the teacher glanced up at her, seemingly not expecting them to finish it.
"That's an additional quest. Didn't you see the quest level is SSS? Just find her, and you don't have to do anything else. I'll give you points."
Yunmo: ...
She suddenly remembered that a fan seemed to have left her a message saying that there were talismans for tempering spiritual power out there, and asked if she was selling them. They didn't quite believe it and wanted to ask her to see the effect.
Because there were too many messages, Yunmo didn't take it seriously. Now it seems that it was because of this incident.
The tasks have been assigned, and as usual, the difficulty of the tasks increases with the level of the society.
Apart from the SSS-level missions which were assigned indiscriminately, the Star Club was a C-level club and only needed to look for clues about the person behind the scenes.
