Chapter 1410 - 859: Public Opinion Warfare (Part 3)

Zhang Yu slightly moved in his heart upon hearing this: "Hype?"

Fu Ji encouraged: "Yes, hype! The buzz is already there, next we can respond, even engage in a war of words with them, keeping the attention and gathering momentum, which is essentially indirect promotion. As long as the verbal battle continues, it will help the company draw attention during the technical preparation period, and infamy is also fame."

Only to see Zhang Yu smile slightly, saying: "Infamy, huh...thinking about it, it’s not entirely a bad thing."

Shortly after, Zhang Yu logged into his social media account to start clarifying.

"Our company has always maintained a 24-hour work system for Soul Cultivators, there is absolutely no coercion for Soul Cultivator employees to rest."

"I hope those who spread rumors delete their statements immediately, or I’ll sue you until you go bankrupt."

"Also, although I haven’t been in the sect for long, I’m not a poor guy."

Saying that, Zhang Yu directly flaunted his millions in savings.

Then he flaunted the two Immortal Shuttles that Bu Yingshu lent him.

Then he flaunted his Grotto Heaven which was 10 kilometers high, 10 kilometers wide, and 10 kilometers long, a full 1000 cubic kilometers, along with the Immortal Crystals scattered within it.

Three layers of ostentatious display, each more shocking than the last, immediately elevating Zhang Yu’s personal image.

Next, Zhang Yu sent a message in the work group: @everyone, go comment under my account.

In an instant, a multitude of comments emerged below.

Ye Xingli: "I told you, where would you find a 996 work regime now? If it was really like this, the True God would have come knocking already."

Tu Mu: "For Minister Zhang Yu to earn so much in such a short time after entering the sect and accumulate such assets, can what he says be wrong?"

It can be said that once he displayed millions of Immortal Coins in savings, especially combined with the boasting of the Immortal Shuttle and Grotto Heaven, many cultivators immediately felt that Zhang Yu’s words were quite reasonable.

Zhao Tianxing said joyfully: "Minister Zhang! Support rate has risen to 18%! And it’s still rising!"

Zhang Yu knew this support rate only represented a positive impression of him, it didn’t mean market share had reached 18%.

After all, many Soul Cultivators think he’s great, but due to Xiao Yunhe’s suppression, they dare not work with him.

But Zhang Yu didn’t mind, since official business hasn’t started yet, as long as he can maintain the buzz, attract more attention, and gain mental support from many people, that’s a kind of success.

Besides clarifying rumors, Zhang Yu also planned to promote his story of preventing catastrophe.

After all, it was a lifesaving merit earned by risking his life. Zhang Yu felt he could brag about it for ten years without issue.

As Zhang Yu thought, he said: "Fu Ji, Xiang Shen, come help me think about how to say this."

Fu Ji said: "Isn’t it simple? I’ll write it!"

Looking at what Fu Ji wrote, Zhang Yu felt speechless but had to admit Kunxu people probably recognize it.

In the following days, with the help of Fu Ji and Xiang Shen, Zhang Yu continued to speak.

On social media, Zhang Yu said to the camera: "Though I haven’t killed many in the sect, I have saved quite a few. The reason I do this, why I stop the catastrophe, is because I don’t want everyone to die in vain, losing the chance to continue working and making money in this life."

Zhang Yu went on to say: "I wish everyone could be legally and compliantly killed in the Old Graveyard, that those who wish to die could use the least money for the best death, that even after death, everyone could have work, earn money, have endless tasks, and endless overtime."

Zhao Tianxing, Zhang Yu’s chief Soul Cultivator, shouted from the side: "Our company slogan is, life is worse than death! Living in vain is worse than dying well!"

Soon, a large number of cultivators in the management committee, Netherworld Property Department, and joint venture companies all forwarded Zhang Yu’s words.

Tu Mu: We all owe Minister Zhang a life

Ye Xingli: We owe Minister Zhang a life, we should die at his hands

A few hours later, Zhao Tianxing reported: "Minister! Support rate has broken through 23%!"

Facing Zhang Yu’s words, however, Xiao Yunhe, Xie Lanyin and their Soul Cultivators continued to roam around, attacking Zhang Yu from various angles.

"Aren’t all Soul Cultivator platforms the same? Which boss doesn’t squeeze our Soul Cultivators to death?"

"But Zhang Yu has risked his life to stop the catastrophe, ..."

"There are many assets of such rich people in the Old Graveyard, they stop the catastrophe for themselves."

"Risking life? You believe these rich people would risk their lives for uncertain things? I think the risking life was just pretending."

"What do you know? Isn’t this just to gain merits?"

Xiao Yunhe stood forward saying: "Actually, during the catastrophe, I wanted to step forward to stop it too, but was blocked by none other than Zhang Yu’s current joint venture partner, Su Lingyou!"

Looking at Xiao Yunhe’s statement, Zhang Yu almost laughed out of anger.

Zhao Tianxing angrily said: "Minister, with such a fuss, the support rate dropped back to 19%."

Zhang Yu nodded, not surprised, since the support rate is inherently driven by public opinion, changing its mind from time to time, with the flood of various messages, a reversal overnight is normal.

Fu Ji said: "In a public opinion war, only attacking not defending, he says you snatch merit, then we’ll say he doesn’t love the sect!"

Zhang Yu spoke on social media: "Xiao Yunhe, you, as a disciple of the Sky Demon Sect, attack cultivators in your own sect and sabotage the joint venture between the Sky Demon Sect and Wanfa Sect. Do you still love the sect? Do you still remember the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor in your heart?"
