In the next few days, all the various big media companies in the entire Heavenly State were focused on Min Feiyao’s concert.

This time, an overwhelming amount of advertisings for Min Feiyao’s concert were used, surrounding the Second Loop Stadium at the east side of Tianjing City. They ranged from the huge signboards at the roadsides to all the large digital screens in the entire Tianjing City, as well as the taxis traveling on the roads on the streets by the hotels and motels, with advertising slogans and posters on all of them. action

On all the large web portals on the internet were the introductions regarding this concert.

Min Feiyao’s number of fans on Weibo increased by 300,000 overnight, and it was still breaking new records with insanely fast speed.

Every Weibo that she posted was forwarded by countless fans, and a post she’d just posted after having her breakfast “The weather is quite good today. I’ve eaten slightly more this morning and am now in tip-top condition. I believe I’ll definitely make everyone satisfied with my concert” on Weibo had been forwarded more than 60,000 times within a short half an hour, and it was constantly creating new records.

The power of the USD was scary.

Through Ko Gohon’s method of not treating money as money, Min Feiyao’s popularity was soaring up and spreading in a practically insane speed. The search volume for the keyword “Min Feiyao” had almost instantly risen to the peak on Sangle Search Engine on various big web portals, overshadowing Li Nianwei’s number one position on the ranking charts on Sangle Search. There were topics revolving around Min Feiyao all over Turkey Software, and Min Feiyao’s handwritten autograph had even been auctioned at a high price of one million on Jianbao Plaza, with countless people fighting for it.

On Xinhai Weibo, all the topics related to Min Feiyao had become the hot topics of the entire website. From the Chinese-style omelet wraps that she had for breakfast, to the braised meat and boiled fish that she had for lunch, and even the brand of the toilet paper that she used in the toilet, they were all widely discussed by people.

The posts regarding this concert trended on all big entertainment forums, and the entertainment channels on television broadcasted the progress of the concert. Even the Tianjing City international airport had been entirely occupied by Min Feiyao’s fans, and, according to some news, there were even quite a lot of people willing to spend loads of money just to get to see Min Feiyao in person.

The entire world went mad.

Ko Gohon leisurely sat on the sofa and casually clicked on his laptop screen to view the latest progress. On his other hand, he held a glass of red wine, grinning as he said, “This time, about 6 million USD has been spent on advertisements. According to the current progression of things, as long as the popularity and talking point continues on, probably in no time, people will completely forget about Li Nianwei and will only remember Min Feiyao.”

“Yes, Young Master.” The bodyguard beside him respectfully said, “At the moment, topics regarding Miss Min Feiyao have already occupied all the influential media forums, and once any news related to Li Nianwei appears, it will be attacked by all our people. Eventually, it’ll be criticized until it disappears into thin air, allowing us to occupy all the media forums and so on.”

“Hahahaha!” Ko Gohon gleefully took a sip of wine and smiled. “With hardcore fans and a goddess that is everywhere, what use is there no matter how powerful Li Nianwei is? Now is the economic era, times have changed! It’s useless to solely rely on ability! Min Feiyao herself isn’t much lacking compared to her, so as long as we package her well and do the advertising, it’ll be a piece of cake to get rid of her! Once this symbolic big tree, Li Nianwei, has fallen, Hong Dali will definitely suffer as well!”

After speaking, Ko Gohon thought for a while, then said, “Relay my orders. Continue all the insane bombing of things! My orders are that any news related to Li Nianwei must not appear at any places in the entertainment and media platforms! It’s completely fine no matter how much more money is spent! This time, I’ve prepared 50 million USD for Min Feiyao, and if it isn’t enough, I can add more! Also, make a grander scene for the concert. It must be even bigger than what Hong Dali had set up! Do you understand!”

“Yes!” The bodyguard instantly left to carry his orders.

...

“Aiya, hello, hello. Let me introduce myself. I’m the sales manager of Huakai International Music Co. Ltd. I’ve invited Mr. Zhou today to request for a small help from you.”

“Mm, alright, let’s take a seat.” Mr. Zhou instantly sat down. “May I know what is the matter that you need my help with?”

“Ah, it’s like that, our company plans to go all out in nurturing Miss Min Feiyao. I believe that Mr. Zhou has heard before that the concert of Miss Min Feiyao is explosive, and the advertisements are all great. But currently, we have a small issue that we have yet to resolve.”

“En, understood, understood.” Mr. Zhou nodded and said, “It’s indeed very explosive. It’s at an even larger scale than that of goddess Miss Li Nianwei’s when she debuted, right? Could it be that your company is intending to get us to help in the advertising?”

“Yes, Mr. Zhou. Our company wants to put news regarding Miss Min Feiyao in the limelight position. We also hope that your company can cancel all news regarding Li Nianwei. We sincerely request for your help on this.”

“This... It’s not a problem to do advertisements for Miss Min Feiyao, but about canceling news regarding Miss Li Nianwei... It’s not very nice, is it?”

“Hehe, I know that Mr. Zhou is in quite a difficult position to do this, so,” The manager of Huakai company took a cheque out of his pocket. “This is a cheque of 300,000 USD. We sincerely request for this small help from Mr. Zhou.”

“This...” Mr. Zhou silently kept the USD. “Alright, I’ll try my best. In that case, I’ll return now to make the necessary arrangements.”

“Thank you.”

...

“Is it the packaging company? We need an Internet Water Army now. Yes, right, a large amount of Internet Water Army, fans and so on. Mobilize as many people as you have in your company. The Internet Water Army is mainly responsible for things on the internet, while the fans need to be in charge of welcoming Miss Min Feiyao at the airport when Miss Min Feiyao arrives at Tianjing City as well as escorting her to the scene at the concert. Mm, OK, the price is not a problem, you can rest assured on that. Alright, then that’s settled. Bye Bye.”

...

From the second day onwards, the war on the internet was getting fiercer and fiercer.

All news reports regarding Li Nianwei had practically all disappeared from various big web portals. This was undoubtedly the effect created through Ko Gohon’s monetary attack. And on various big forums, once a post by Li Nianwei’s fans expressing support for her appeared, in the blink of an eye, it would be cornered and attacked by countless people. In the face of such a situation, those die-hard fans of Li Nianwei’s, after all, couldn’t compete against the professional Internet Water Army. Thus, they started to retreat one by one.

Very soon, in no time, Min Feiyao’s army of fans had already dominated almost all the media portals, and Li Nianwei’s official Tieba forum on Sangle Search Engine had ignited countless wars at horrifying scales. Hundreds of thousands of Min Feiyao’s fans coupled with tens of thousands of Internet Water Army started to incessantly attack Li Nianwei’s fans at the forum. The initial thousands of people at the forum had explosively increased to 1.2 million within a few hours, and it was still continuously increasing.

50 million USD.

This was the power of 50 million USD. When this amount of money was all converted into attacks, this type of power became so scary that it was close to being terrifying.

It was as if a heavy dark cloud had descended. The Internet Water Army was closely-knitted, entirely different from Li Nianwei’s dispersed fans at the forum. The combat capability of the Internet Water Army was extremely powerful, and currently, Li Nianwei’s fans could only compete using their large number. News traveled all over Turkey Software, and countless people were invited to the forum to participate in this big battle.

As the last camp base of goddess Li Nianwei’s fan club, millions of fans desperately put up their resistance, and the last defense line was already faltering.

Fortunately, after all, goddess Li Nianwei still had a strong fan base. The fans on the forum, from the initial situation of being unorganized and not disciplined, started to form a few organized and disciplined small groups, which were directed by a few people more capable in terms of gathering and organizing people, and finally, they managed to guard against the countless attacks from the other party.

From 8:00 AM on this day, the battle lasted till 4:00 PM, then there was finally an opportunity to catch a breath.

On Turkey Software, in a group chat consisting of Li Nianwei’s loyal fans, a few people were studying into their countermeasures—

Loyal fan number one: “Boss, if it goes on like that, we won’t be able to resist it.”

Leader number one: “Persevere on, those group of jerks would definitely not end it just like that. They’re probably resting as well now and gathering more people, we can’t let our guard down! Now there’s practically no news on the internet regarding our goddess. If we can’t guard this place this time, once it’s dominated by them, Miss Nianwei would have to completely disappear from the eyes of the public in the short run! Once she doesn’t have exposure in the entertainment business, she’ll be forgotten by the public very soon!”

Loyal fan number two: “Yes, this is our last big camp base. If we can’t protect this as well, then it’d be all over!”

Leader number two: “Everyone, hurry up and gather more people, gather people from all the big groups and your friends to come forward and support! The other party is evidently an organization of Internet Water Army. At the moment, we definitely can’t compete directly with them. This is the difference between a professional army and an army made up of ordinary people. Now we can only hope to win based on our numbers. Even if we don’t post something, we can suppress all the topics insulting our goddess!”

Loyal fan number two: “Alright, then I’ll get it going right away!”

Leader number one: “Why don’t each of us contribute some money to hire an Internet Water Army as well?”

Loyal fan number two: “It’s too late now, we don’t know where to find people to do so. This is the most troublesome part. I believe there must be nouveau riches among us that can afford the money!”

Leader number one: “Mm, that’s true. I’ll go and contact the advertising companies first and see if they have such people. If not, we’ll raise the money. We definitely cannot lose this time!”

Leader number two: “Sigh, I don’t know what Young Master’s side is doing. Things have already become like this here, yet there are no movements at all from Young Master’s Caiwei Entertainment. This is quite abnormal!”

Leader number one: “If there are no movements from Young Master, then it’s the greatest movement already. Let’s not be bothered about that side first and do our best to guard our base. I believe that Young Master will not disappoint us! Miss Nianwei is the goddess in my heart. If we lose this time, I won’t be bothered about things in the entertainment business anymore!”

Loyal fan number two: “Me too!”

Loyal fan number three: “Me too, damn it. I’ll go and see whether there are any nouveau riches!”

Very soon, starting from 6:00 PM onwards, after two hours of rest, flames of war raged once again on Li Nianwei’s Tieba forum.
