Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1220: Chapter 1220: Better to Guide Than Block (1/5)

Even though Lu Xiaobu let Liang Lan choose a remote place for the farm-to-table experience, how could a scene like a magic sword forbidden curse not attract attention?

So, almost instantly, these phenomena appeared online.

”Is it a UFO or a Cultivation World?! Giant hand invasion?!”

”Meteor fire rain?! Great fire blazing!”

”Mysterious phenomenon, how to explain it?”

With one piece of news after another, all kinds of real and fake videos began to circulate online.

Most of them were videos capturing the meteors that Lu Xiaobu had crushed and sent flying, with only a couple faintly capturing Lu Xiaobu’s Dragon Capturing Hand.

However, these videos with borders weren’t mainstream online and hardly anyone watched them.

People looked at the magic forbidden curse and then at the notion of single-handedly covering the sky?

Ultimately, reason told them these videos were fake, so they chose to watch the fake videos made for sensationalism and traffic.

Alien UFOs! Secret experiments! New weapon creation! Unprecedented volcanic eruption! And so on!

Of course, discussions erupted!

”Oh my gosh! Is it really that crazy?!”

”Yeah! Shimen really seems to be favored by the heavens! First Lu Xiaobu, and now strange phenomena?!”

”I think it’s definitely the work of alien UFOs! I saw a video posted by someone!”

”You guys are geniuses! This happened in Shimen, yet you choose to watch videos from elsewhere instead of the ones from us here in Shimen?! Are you out of your minds?!”

”The videos from Shimen are ridiculous, saying things like covering the sky with a single hand and meteor fire rain?! I’m sure Lu Xiaobu had you post them!”

”Exactly! Now that you mention it, isn’t it obvious that it’s Lu Xiaobu’s doing, trying to launch something new?”

”It’s quite possible! I wouldn’t believe anyone else could do this, but if it’s Lu Xiaobu, I’d believe it a hundred thousand percent!”

”Let’s wait for the explanation from the Lu Group!”

”...”

Upon hearing these comments, you’ll find that what started as a fantastical event where people were expecting a scientific explanation had changed once Lu Xiaobu’s name came up.

The entire narrative shifted.

People no longer wished to hear the scientists’ explanations; they wanted to hear Lu Xiaobu’s!

After all, knowing Lu Xiaobu’s extravagance, spending tens of billions on such a spectacle isn’t impossible!

And meanwhile, the Lu Group was already initiating a series of actions.

While they weren’t aware of the exact cause, they knew it was related to Young Master Bu, so suppressing this in public opinion was inevitable.

The Lu Group had dealt with media battles before, so after a meeting for analysis, they decided that guiding it rather than suppressing it was better.

That is, not to force the story out of the public eye but to reveal it, giving everyone the truth.

Of course, this truth is the ’truth’ the public needs!

”A fantasy drama personally supervised by Young Master Bu is in production!”

”The drama will rely on realistic scenes and holographic projections as much as possible instead of special effects.”

”A production by Young Master Bu is guaranteed to be top-notch, stay tuned!”

”Several mountain peaks in the Shimen suburb have been rented and occupied by the Lu Group, and an amusement park will be developed here, stay tuned.”

Just like that, these somewhat credible news snippets were thrown out by the Lu Group.

They didn’t officially explain the matter but left room for public imagination!

However, the effect was very clear.

”Hahaha! See, I told you it was Lu Xiaobu and the Lu Group’s doing! Such a grand gesture!”

”So awesome! If they really do this, what a masterpiece it would be?!”

”But, the Lu Group still hasn’t explained what this is all about?!”

”Come on, here’s an honest guy, everyone, let’s bully him!”

”Didn’t the Lu Group already mention it! Renting land, real scene filming, holographic imagery! That’s implying it invisibly!”

”Yeah! Lu Xiaobu truly goes big, this probably costs at least several billion!”

”But for that spendthrift Lu Xiaobu, isn’t that normal!”

”However, has the holographic projection technology matured?! Isn’t it said it can’t be universally applied yet?!”

”Are you stupid?! Just because it’s not universal doesn’t mean it can’t be used! As long as there’s money, it’s no big deal!”

”True! I’m a bit short-sighted! When can I access that level of the world, I wonder?”

”...”

Thus, an event that would have caused a sensation in any country, even worldwide, was like releasing a fart—quickly dissipating with only a passing smell!

There’s no helping it; these past years, the citizens of the Heavenly Dynasty have become accustomed to such miracles by Lu Xiaobu.

Miracles have become as common as drinking cold water, so what’s a little anomaly?!

Of course, this is just the public view, and a small group of skeptics still wants to investigate the truth, let them be.

Even if they go there, they may not get nearer, even if they get near, they may not find evidence, even if they find evidence, they may not convince others to believe, even if they convince them, they can’t explain it clearly!

So, their endeavors will only be a problem without a solution.

No big deal!

Of course, officials from the Heavenly Dynasty also dispatched people for an investigation, but that’s a story for another time!

...

On the surface, it seems settled!

Indeed, it’s been passed off like this!

However, in the Jianghu, it’s not so easily dismissed!

They all know that the place is where the Master Token is held nowadays, and the unusual phenomena clearly are related to the Master Token!

The Xue Family didn’t hide this and directly disseminated the news of Mo Wentian’s downfall!

Of course, such news couldn’t really be hidden!

Are you able to seal the remaining fourteen grandmasters’ mouths?!

Instantly!

The entire Jianghu community was buzzing, a bit bewildered!

Mo Wentian?! That extremely powerful and invincible ancestor of the Underworld, killed?!

And, the one who killed him wasn’t any grandmaster from the Master Token meeting?!

It was Lu Xiaobu?!

The same Lu Xiaobu who was weak and could be knocked out with a spit a couple of years ago?!

Even though his health has improved over the past two years, he couldn’t possibly have killed a grandmaster, right?

As this news came to light, the orderly Master Token meeting once again underwent new changes!
