The gun is one of the standard weapons exchanged by the Truth Department for points. Letting a good friend live stream it in front of the camera is just to test the waters, see the reaction, and see if it can attract the interest of the people from Military Technology to actively contact them for advertising.

Currently, this [Horizon Sound] software has spread all over the streets as soon as it was released in Night City. After all, it can live stream watching players go to Cuba to fight. Even if it has nothing to do with civilians, they are happy to watch for fun.

For those who have been 'poisoned' by players before, it feels like pain mixed with joy—haha, now it's not just me who got beaten by them, you Cubans can take it now.

Moreover, Lin Miao and New America's declaration of war on Cuba is completely standing on the moral high ground, pointing fingers at Cuba.

[The Cubans started this war first, we're just responding.]

[Cuban drugs corrupt the world; we're here not to occupy Cuban land, but to eradicate drug dealers. Once eradicated, we'll leave and not stay a day longer.]

[Whoever speaks for the Cubans is the behind-the-scenes origin of these drug factories.]

Especially during the stream, revelations about the Cuban warlords' behavior towards Cuban farmers—massacre, beheading, severing limbs, skinning, impaling, shooting races...

It can be said that Cuban warlords have been thoroughly pushed into the moral lowland, becoming a figure that any normal person would despise.

Believe it or not, I believe it.

After all, this is the core purpose of a propaganda war; did you think the Propaganda Department is just ironclad trash eating and getting in the way?

In an environment where information is relatively closed, whoever controls the discourse controls the truth.

Even big companies were surprised. After all, using precious satellite real-time data transmission for seemingly useless data and spreading it throughout Night City is indeed a bit of a waste of cost.

In their view, live streaming the battlefield has no profit and even holds the risk of leaking military intelligence.

Most importantly, maintaining massive data transmission for a long time increases the likelihood of wandering AI or hackers from other entities hiding within it, finding opportunities to infiltrate large company confidential databases.

At least, that's the current assumption.

However, obtaining relevant intelligence from the Cuban battlefield through this software in real-time is also beneficial for them, hence it quickly spread from Night City to all over the world, faster than the lower layers, as their data transmission channels in terms of both speed and scope far exceed what lower-level people can achieve.

As for this software's streaming players, they are all 'normal people' vetted by Lin Miao and AI; even the content to be streamed undergoes a 30-second review before broadcasting to prevent incidents like old jokes or streaming prohibited acts like corpse-whipping and beheadings.

Besides the live stream, there's also the traditional VLOG that anyone can upload, though this feature is disabled for Cuban players mainly to prevent people from using video content to locate targets for pinpoint bombing or similar.

And VLOG functionality is limited to local city use; Night City residents can only see VLOGs from Night City people. To see content uploaded by people from other cities requires waiting for a one-month global data circulation.

This is a reluctant compromise Lin Miao made with those companies, after all, if they truly synchronized globally, the data traffic utilized would reach astronomically high levels and could not be concealed, thus can only be covered up using solid-state data storage physical transfer.

Lastly, this software does not accept any payment features, no rewarding, no gifts; even advertising can only give you a hyperlink, merely serving as software to share life and not for profit. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

And good friends' performances aren't just watched by civilians, even Military Technology's public opinion department quickly noticed the Super Earth channel in [Horizon Sound]

"What is this guy doing? Giving us free advertising?"

The public opinion department staff were stunned when they saw a good friend blatantly introducing Military Technology rifles in the stream, but the department's supervisor soon smelled an opportunity named 'business' in it.

He immediately ordered,

"How many people are watching this stream? Bring it out for me."

The staff attempted to use software to reverse invade [Horizon Sound] servers, to find the viewer list and geographical locations, but after consecutively blowing up two hosts+a hacker severely injured, had to abandon this plan and could only see the view count displayed in the upper right corner of the stream.

"Currently, there are 12,754 viewers online."

"Unbelievable, five minutes ago it was about eleven thousand, and the count is still increasing."

"Estimated in ten minutes, the viewer count will reach fifteen thousand people. "

Which means...this Horizon Mercenary's words were heard by at least ten thousand people.

This number may not seem remarkable, but everyone working in the public opinion control department is well aware of what this means.

Different times, different locations, delivering the same advertisement yields different results.

Target audience, attention concentration, and other factors are all things that the marketing department must consider.

Platforms like the Super Earth live room are undoubtedly the best advertising placement platform, even better than the Neon projection effects in Night City's center.

The public opinion supervisor quickly dialed his superior's phone, Freddie, who had a few encounters with Lin Miao, previously a deputy in the marketing department or now promoted to Minister.

"Yes....right....I think this live room has considerable commercial potential....okay."
