Chapter 56 Press Conference
While Yu Yiqing was communicating with Tangcuyu about their relationship, I was still keeping an eye on the online public opinion. Right now, most people were still discussing Xie Qing's death. The official response hasn't come yet, but it's expected to be soon.
The people from "Gaia" should have come out and started to guide public opinion towards Xu Zisheng.
After all, the initial trigger was that Xu Zisheng suddenly became horny and temporarily marked Xie Qing.
The discussion surrounding ABO gender is in full swing, and the presence of beta is particularly strong.
——Why have betas, who are not affected by pheromones, cannot be labeled, have stable personalities, and make up the majority of society, been ignored for so many years?
I thought about it and called Yu Cheng.
It felt like the time had come to hold a press conference for "All Things Become One."
I made an investment in Lin Ruoyu's laboratory at the beginning of the year and have been looking for an opportunity to announce it.
"Ah Cheng, I'm holding a press conference in three days, and I'll leave the implementation of the preparations to you."
"Boss, Second Young Master..." Yu Cheng seemed to be hesitant to speak.
I slapped my forehead and completely forgot to tell him about this.
"...You go take care of the press conference first. Ah Qing is here with me."
My voice sounded a little guilty. It sounded like Yu Cheng had been looking for me all night. I didn't think I was really going to be hung on the street lamp.
【Be the first to support~】
[Don't worry, Xiaoyu, I'll pick you off!]
Are you really free?!
How's my points quest going? Can I have Villar come out and work for me?
[Ding ding ding - Points task progress is 50%, accumulated points are 89,000, about 5% away from 100,000 points. It is estimated that after your press conference, you will have accumulated 100,000 points.]
[With 100,000 points of local specialties, you can own your own body. Since the host currently has good credit, you can mortgage it and buy on credit. Host, do you want to buy on credit? A certain amount of interest will be charged based on the return time.]
Credit, credit, credit.
I think you are the more like a capitalist. Then we will each stand on one side of the street lamp.
【whee. 】
After my press conference, I will become a thorn in Gaia's side and I will urgently need a bodyguard.
Moreover, I had to hold the press conference before Xie Qing's funeral. With Yu Yiqing's previous reminder, I started preparing very early. Otherwise, it might be too late if I was caught off guard.
Opportunities are indeed in the hands of those who are prepared.
Then Villar fell down in front of me unexpectedly.
It's that kind of low-quality special effect where a black hole appears in the sky and a person falls out of it.
I:……
Villar and I were both confused.
Villar still had the same white hair, one eye was black and the other was red, and he was still wearing the same clothes he wore in the last world.
Now it's Villar (with brain version).
Fortunately, it wasn’t those starry eyes.
Now everything seems out of tune with this world.
[Don't worry, I've communicated with the world consciousness. This world will ignore the abnormality of the local specialty! His body will be defaulted to a beta.]
How thoughtful! The world consciousness is indeed thinking about rectifying the world of love-brained people.
Villar was still adjusting to his body over there, and then he gave me a big hug.
"Finally I can touch Xiaoyu." After saying that, he stroked my head twice.
The technique is just like the way he strokes a cat.
"You're... too... strong..." His inhuman strength almost broke the neck of an ordinary person like me. I no longer have the physical strength I had in the last world.
In this world, I am just an ordinary, weak beta who works in an office. I may even develop a belly as I get older.
[…No, host, generally speaking, if the protagonist doesn’t have it, you won’t have it either.]
[You shouldn't talk about such realistic things in a novel for women?!]
Fortunately, there was no need to explain the sudden appearance of Villar to others. They seemed to have given him a very normal identity in their minds, and even Yu Cheng took his existence for granted.
"Hasn't the young master's personal bodyguard been protecting him since he was a child?"
——Okay, there is also a setting that has existed since childhood. This world consciousness is too reliable.
On the day of the press conference, I looked at all the marketing and publicity and turned off my phone in advance.
"Let us welcome Yu Yilin, President Yu."
I walked onto the stage in a tailored suit.
The large screen behind him also changed to the cover of the prepared materials.
"Hello everyone, I'm Yu Yilin. After a year of preparation, I can finally introduce to you my personal initiative that will have a meaningful impact on society over the next ten years."
"Three days ago, I learned that my former classmate, Xie Qing, had committed suicide. This incident had a huge impact on me. I had originally planned to hold this press conference until the end of the year, which was the 50th anniversary of the Yu family. But seeing what happened to Xie Qing, I realized that some things can't be waited too long."
"If I had arrived earlier, could I have saved Xie Qing?"
Then, the following information page changed, and a pie chart of the three genders ABO and the "Oneness" logo and introduction appeared on it.
"One of My Own"—a biomedical company I personally invested in—has made a breakthrough in pheromone research. Collaborating with over a dozen university laboratories, we've developed a technology that allows for ABO gender neutralization.
"Of course, I'm not talking about the sex change surgery that's banned by law. I'm talking about a technology that uses pheromones to minimize the impact of ABO gender on the body to almost zero."
"Many people's bodies begin to be affected by pheromones after their gender differentiation at the age of four. Alphas become strong but irritable, omegas become sensitive and weak, and betas are somewhere in between. But have you ever thought that before gender differentiation, we are actually no different at all?"
I switched to the next PPT, which showed the effects of pheromones on the human body and some data from the physical examination reports of a series of children I brought back from the monastery.
"As you can see from our current research, many people suffer from genetic diseases while being affected by pheromones, and most of the onset occurs after the age of four, meaning the body has developed resistance to the pheromones. As long as this resistance is eliminated, most genetic diseases caused by pheromones can be cured."
"As a biomedical company, All Things Return to One will stabilize this technology within the next decade."
“Maybe a lot of people don’t understand what I’m saying.”
I turned to the last page of the slideshow. "Once our technology is stabilized, pheromones will no longer have a significant impact on the human body. Estrus periods, marking, and susceptible periods can all be controlled. Compared to existing suppression collars on the market, this will fundamentally address the ethical issues between AOs."
Perfect solution to the love brain problem caused by pheromones - of course, this sentence cannot be said.
At this time, the media in the audience were already whispering.
I saw Yu Cheng next to me was always answering the phone. Maybe he couldn't get through to me, so he was calling him.
"Of course, I will also promise that we will not use secret experiments, and if this technology is successful, we will apply for a patent and make it public to the world."
I looked at Lin Ruoyu who was about to go on stage, "Next, the head of our laboratory will give you a detailed introduction."
Lin Ruoyu went on stage with his mentor.
His mentor is a leader in the industry, and he is convincing just by standing there.
I went backstage and opened my phone. The sudden influx of messages made my phone freeze. It was full of messages from various acquaintances. I swiped past them all. I didn't want to deal with this group of people at all.
[Host, the progress has reached 80%.]
Xie An also came with me today.
He is genderless, and he is also the one who gave us inspiration - his body was artificially fixed before gender differentiation. Since Lin Ruoyu spent the most time with him, after learning about Lin Ruoyu's research, Xie An took the initiative to ask to be his test subject.
Xie An was wearing a small suit and sitting there calmly.
"Are you scared?" I asked him. Most of the data on the PPT just now came from Xie An. The group of people who had studied him before would be able to see it at a glance.
"Don't worry, Brother Lin will protect me." He looked at me, "And I know that if it weren't for Teacher Lin and his research, my younger brothers and sisters would probably suffer even more."
“Before Ringling found us—we were the only ones in the monastery, and our brothers and sisters were often sick.”
“It would be nice if we could help other people too.”
"Why did you choose the name 'Everything Becomes One'?" Yu Yiqing asked me during the days when I was preparing for the press conference.
Although he knew this name and joined this club in the past, he thought I was just a simple middle school student at that time until he saw my rehearsal.
"ABOs were just people before ABOs, right?" I flipped through the information. "Maybe that's common sense to everyone, but not to me. I can't categorize a person by gender, so I wonder if there are other people like me."
“The return to oneness is a great word that perfectly captures this return to a primitive state.”
"You really gave me an opportunity to change."
Although this person used such crazy means, without him, this press conference might not have been so popular, and the attention it received would not be what it is now.
The press conference lasted two hours, with an hour for questions at the end.
Some people mentioned Xie Qing's death, some people asked me about experimental data, and this group of people all wanted to get a big news.
Anyway, it's just a pie in the sky, so I'll draw it in a roundabout way.
What about holding a press conference every year, announcing the progress of the trial every two years, and giving an interview every six months.
Everyone is welcome to invest. This is my personal behavior and has nothing to do with Yu’s.
Anyway, he speaks a lot of nice words.
These are the beautiful words I have been memorizing for three days.
"Brother, you have become a completely smooth-talking capitalist." Yu Yiqing, who was acting as my audience, commented.
I just thought he was praising me.
"Everything Returns to One" is on the right track with the attention of most people.
Who would have known that the initial members were all betas under the age of 20?
————————
Then two days after the press conference, Xie Qing's funeral and memorial service were held together on the outskirts of the city.
Xie Qing was an orphan, so Zhonghuan held a memorial service for him.
Of course I have to show up. After all, I mentioned him as my old classmate at the press conference, so I have to take advantage of the popularity.
Villar stayed behind me and I looked at the people around me.
Most of them are from the entertainment industry, some are from the business community, and some are from the Xu family - to be honest, Xu Zisheng is still in police station.
And people I don't know.
They claimed to be from the orphanage where Xie Qing had stayed as a child, and that they were teachers there.
——I understand, people from Gaia.
"Brother, do you remember them?" I quietly asked Villar next to me.
Veraer nodded silently, "I've remembered everything [Eyes]."
Verar cannot use power beyond the common sense of this world, but his own "God's Eyes" are not restricted. Of course, they can only be used for seeing, and cannot use the ability to tear space in the previous world.
But enough is enough, their souls are recorded.
Suddenly I feel that my golden finger is a bit too big.
But forget it, I’m a domineering CEO, so it’s reasonable for me to have a golden finger, right?
In an instant, the middle-aged man in the lead looked over. He was a very elegant omega. He smiled at me and nodded.
Although he was smiling, I always felt that there was a hint of gritted teeth in his smile.
...Should I notify the public relations department in advance?
