Immortal V4C17: The testimony of three men creates a tiger in the market.
Translated by: RedLotus.
On the day he was sealed as a Fifth Grade official, Zhong Shan's whole body felt comfortable. This was a very strange feeling. It seemed that his whole body had endless power, and his cultivation could break through at any time.
Zhong Shan knew that it was Luck, Luck surrounded his body, it was washing out the Karmic Hindrance, also he felt it when he established Great Zheng King Dynasty. However, it was accumulating slowly, which made it feel less obvious. However, when Zhong Shan was sealed as the Heavenly Dynasty Fifth Grade official, he clearly felt it.
Although he has not reached soft Position, but, with this huge luck, plus the luck of Great Zheng King Dynasty, Zhong Shan could feel that the cultivation speed now was two times of the previous speed. Although the speed increased a lot, also saved a lot of time, but Zhong Shan still did not relax, because it increased to two times, but it was merely two times of his own speed. His body root was extremely bad, so his cultivation was still slow. It only achieved the foundation level of the cultivation speed of the people with a medium body root.
But still it increased, so Zhong Shan was very satisfied. He was training daily and didn't relax at all. Except for the time of thinking about the Unparalleled City City Lord campaign, he was training, training day and night.
This crazy training of Zhong Shan also seemed to affect Princess Qianyou. Princess Qianyou didn't bother him.
She was quietly waiting for Zhong Shan.
After Zhong Shan had cut the water pond for several times, it seemed that he finally found the fleeting weakness. He infused his Spiritual Essence into the great blade which released the Blade Aura completely, and the blade slowly cut directly toward the center of the pond.
Shui Tianya, nearby, finally saw that Zhong Shan really got rid completely. Before that, it was simply like cutting the radish. Now he really used his Spiritual Essence to cut the pond. But was it useful to use the blade to cut the pond?
The blade fell, in the instant that the ten-meter Blade Aura touched the pool water, the pool water was very strangely broken open on both sides, as if the endless astral wind had blown, quickly blowing from the Blade Aura edge.
However, there was no Pure Yang Qi in the Blade Aura. There was no Blade Qi, Zhong Shan didn't not released any Blade Qi. It was just the most basic Blade Aura. Under the cutting of Blade Aura, the invisible strength was getting bigger and bigger, the pond water on both sides of the blade aura edge was suddenly pushed away as if it was dreadful waves and rushed crazily to the shores of the two sides of the pond.
“Hua…..”
The shore of both sides of the pond seemed to be washed out by the mighty current. Under the huge waves, even some big trees were uprooted by dreadful waves. The water in the entire pond was forcibly compelled out of the pond by the strange blade of Zhong Shan and the water in the pond disappeared in a flash. This lasted until the water of the pond that had been pushed away to the shore, returned back again.
This blade slash was like the collection of the Spiritual Essence of the whole body of Zhong Shan. After the blade slash, Zhong Shan stood in the empty pond and was gasping. However, as he was gasping, his face revealed an excited smile.
On the same time of Zhong Shan’s slash, Princess Qianyou suddenly stood up and her eyes were wide-opened. The other three were also astonished.
"Three Layers Wave Cleaving Blade.” Princess Qianyou called out in surprise.
"No, it's not this Blade Art. The three-layered Wave Cleaving Blade, one must have the strength of the Nascent Soul Stage to display, moreover its power is more powerful than this. There is something wrong about this technique, this, what is this Blade Art?" Princess Qianyou immediately overturned her previous conclusion.
The other three were also looking in surprise.
When Princess Qianyou called out, Zhong Shan turned his head and looked around. Just in order to create this Blade Art, his mind was too invested into it, so he didn't discover that the princess had arrived.
Gently jumped ashore, he used a little Spiritual Essence, and his clothes became completely dry.
"Greetings princess." Zhong Shan said.
"Mister, what was that Blade Art? How can I not recognize it? And it seemed as if it needs the Nascent Soul Stage to be able to display the Blade Art?" Princess Qianyou said in surprise.
Taking a look at Princess Qianyou, Princess Qianyou could see his cultivation base at a glance, indicating that Princess Qianyou was at least at Body Fusion Stage. It was just this Blade Art, this Blade Art was his own, cutting the vein lines, First Layer cutting wood, Second Layer cutting stones, and the Third Layer, cutting the invisible water vein lines.
Although he was working under Princess Qianyou, Zhong Shan was not stupid enough to say everything.
"This, previously I had met a mysterious person, and this mysterious person taught it to me. The princess is mocking me." Zhong Shan said in an understatement.
When she heard what Zhong Shan said, Princess Qianyou could also hear Zhong Shan’s perfunctory. Since Zhong Shan didn't want to say, Princess Qianyou will naturally not mention it.
"Mister, they are about to start setting up the voting stages in the big business districts, and the voting will start immediately, it will continue for the next ten months." Princess Qianyou said.
"Did you bring a map?" Zhong Shan asked.
"Ah Da.” Princess Qianyou called out.
Ah Da quickly took out the previous white jade table, put it down, and then slightly pushed, the entire projection of the Unparalleled City was mapped out. However, some places which were covered by red and blue light curtains in reality, were covered on the map so that the interior was not visible. It seemed that this projection was also just a rough image.
"Shui Tianya, explain the voting process to Mister." Princess Qianyou said.
"Yes." Shui Tianya immediately complied, then stepped forward.
"IN the city, there are 72 business districts, each business district has 10 squares, each square has a voting stage. The voting stage is gourd-like, the two sides are connected to a round table, one side is red and the other is blue, red for me, blue for Mo Baili. Everyone has a single voting opportunity, so long as the respective personal seal is used to stamp on the selected round table, this means that the voting is completed. This is a register type magical treasure, once voted, the second is invalid, and the number of votes of the city will be casted above two huge jades on both sides of the city, south and north, to finally see who has more votes of the people." Shui Tianya explained.
"Uh? Is this seal?" Zhong Shan took out his official seal, which was like a big brick.
"Yes, Great Luo Heavenly Dynasty has a seal for each person, because it is very special, so it can’t be copied, and because of the internal formation, the personal seal of each person can be recognized by the special items of Great Luo Heavenly Dynasty." Shui Tianya said.
Looking at the big seal in his hand, Zhong Shan had a strange feeling in heart. This seal was very mysterious. How was it made? there was a seal like this, didn't it seem like an ID card on Earth? Not only they could distinguish the people of the country, but also could unite the centripetal force of the people. It was really a good thing. He must find opportunities to get this technology in the future.
"How is the effect of the propaganda now?" Zhong Shan asked Shui Tianya.
When he heard Zhong Shan asking, Shui Tianya had an expression of worry on his face. Seeing Shui Tianya’s expression, Zhong Shan frowned tightly.
"Mister, your method, at first, some people chose to believe, but my people have been propagandizing ‘war crisis’, and Mo baili people have been propagandizing ‘peacetime’, gradually people started to tend towards him, and the people I have sent out, when they came back, they said that the propaganda is getting more and more laborious, even the people who originally already Chose to believe them, also gradually started to distrust them, even in the south of the city, there are people complaining that my management is too strict, bringing a lot of inconvenience to them." Shui Tianya shook his head and sighed.
Princess Qianyou was drinking tea, she didn't say anything. She was watching quietly with a smile on her face, as if waiting for Zhong Shan to take the lead.
Regarding this, since she experienced the wisdom of Zhong Shan, Princess Qianyou had more and more anticipation regarding Zhong Shan, so much as that, this unparalleled city campaign, Princess Qianyou were not going to manage it anymore, she no longer thought about it. It was not that Princess Qianyou couldn't find a solution, but she didn't want to try finding a solution, so she was waiting quietly to see, to see how Zhong Shan will operate this, to see how he planned this time campaign and this also could be counted as a test for Zhong Shan. Princess Qianyou wanted to see the great abilities and talents of this Zhong Shan.
In fact, Princess Qianyou didn't care about Unparalleled City’s success and failure, even if she did, it was also for King Zhengyi to gather a city. So rather than gaining and losing in a city, it is better to have a talent.
After Zhong Shan heard Shui Tianya, he was confused for a while, then he was speechless. How did Shui Tianya messed this step up? How did he do things?
"Lord Shui, are all the people, who you send out to propagandize, staying in one place?" Zhong Shan asked.
"Yes, every day, I send out different people to propagandize for me." Shui Tianya said.
Looking at Shui Tianya’s satisfied attitude, Zhong Shan was silent for a moment, then he looked at Princess Qianyou, but Princess Qianyou gave him a look of ‘you take the lead’.
He frowned and looked at Princess Qianyou, Zhong Shan could guess Princess Qianyou’s plan, he sighed slightly, forget it, it was just to compensate for the deficiencies of the Eight Gate Golden Lock Array.
"Lord Shui, you are making propaganda, doing underground work, how can you let those people to stop in one place? After a long time, the people will be immune to them. If they say the same thing all day long, who will listen to them carefully? You must make them flow, each person, every day, must go to two or three places, the next 300 days or so, you must make each one of them go to all the propaganda points, so that the people nearby, every day, can see different people speaking about ‘War crisis’. In a day they will see three, in 10 days will see 30 people, then with the time they will see hundreds of people speaking about ‘war crisis’, even if these people do not believe, at least there will be a shadow in their hearts. Has the Lord heard the story of the testimony of three men creates a tiger in the market It?" Zhong Shan was speechless for a while then said .
When he heard what Zhong Shan said, Shui Tianya's face became red and knew that he didn't complete the previous mission.
"Well, still, I found that there is something wrong about Lord Shui." Zhong Shan thought for a while then said.
"Oh? What is wrong?" Princess Qianyou strangely said.
"Lord Shui does not believe in the war crisis. Lord Shui, you know, your words and deeds absolutely affect the propaganda people’s emotions, if you do not believe it, can they confidently publicize? First of all, Lord Shui must adjust your own state of mind and must completely believe in it first, so that he can give the propaganda people the image that can make them believe it more and propagandize it better. Also, every day before going out to propagandize, you must first gather them, brainwash each person, before letting them go out." What Zhong Shan said, were the accumulations of the previous marketing pyramid scheme of Zhong Shan, which could be said that it was the thing that Zhong Shan was the most adept.
"Brainwashing?" Shui Tianya looked at Zhong Shan and said doubtfully.
"That is, before sending them out every day, you must constantly instill in them the idea of ‘war crisis’, so that these propaganda people must have a nervous and worried heart, in order to better propagandize." Zhong Shan said.
"Is the effect very different?" Shui Tianya asked.
"Of course, even if you don’t believe it yourself, how can you convince others? When making propaganda, you must be honest and take it for granted. It is a must, it must be justified and taken for granted." Zhong Shan said solemnly.
