Product launch?
Although this phrase sounded a bit strange to the people in the Cultivation World, the people could still understand it. Besides, Xu Que had given a few details—the product launch would be the introduction of his new products.
In fact, people felt there was no need to conduct one, since throughout the entire Imperial City, only Xu Que could make such miraculous products. Whether Xu Que hold a product launch or not, people would know what he was going to sell.
What they did not know was that Xu Que was doing this to act tough!
For Xu Que, acting tough was a great thing. He needed to act tough all the time—whether he was sleeping, or flirting with girls, or making time, he would act tough.
Making money while successfully acting tough was indeed a marvelous thing to do.
The next morning, after Xu Que woke up, he donned a pair of jeans, a black sweater with a high collar and a pair of glasses with golden rims. Then, he made his way to the product launch.
If this were like similar media events on earth, people would recognise that the clothes he was wearing resembled those that Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple, had worn on the day of his product presentation.
In the Cultivation World, however, his outfit was considered very bizarre and attracted people's attention.
On his way to the product launch, he acted tough by wearing this outfit. His acting tough points consequently increased.
When he arrived at McDonald's, there was already a huge number of people waiting for him. Then, he quickly moved to the center of a stage that had been built already.
All of a sudden, everyone stopped talking.
People were surprised by Xu Que's bizarre outfit and stared at him in shock.
Xu Que smiled and began to wave to his audience.
"Good morning everyone! Welcome to the press conference and product launch for McDonald's and Kentucky Fried Chicken, also known as KFC. I am Steve Jobs of the Exploding Heavens Faction."
Hearing this, everyone was confused.
Jobs? Has he changed his name again? How many names does he have in total?
The three thousand soldiers of Snow City and Buttface were all present. They all wanted to taste the delicious new product.
To stop Xu Que talking sh*t like this for any longer, Buttface clapped his paws enthusiastically and yelled, "Well said!"
"Well said! General Zhuge!"
All the soldiers began to applaud. All of a sudden, the atmosphere warmed up.
Xu Que bought a projector from the System and activated it with the power of Spirit Stones.
A ray of light fell against the wall behind the stage.
All of a sudden, people stopped applauding and started to stare at the light.
"The first product I am going to introduce is the 'McFlurry'."
The next minute, two pictures of a McFlurry Ice Cream appeared on the wall.
Seeing this, Buttface shouted and jumped towards to the wall. While he was flying towards it, saliva dripped to the ground.
Bang!
Buttface bumped into the wall, and the wall collapsed. He was covered by the bricks…
Everyone sneered.
What a stupid dog! Clearly, it is just picture…
"No worries, we have got another wall."
Xu Que smiled, changing the direction of the projector.
"The McFlurry has two flavours, strawberry and Oreo. You may be asking, does it taste good? Well, as you have seen, a dog has started salivating for it after only seeing the picture. I can assure you that it tastes very good."
Xu Que smiled. "Okay, next, I am going to introduce to you the effect the McFlurry will have. In the early stages, the McFlurry can clean your muscles. Remember you can only eat one once a day for seven days in total for a round of treatment, and there are ten rounds in total. Your Spiritual Roots will be cleansed. After ten rounds of treatment, your Spiritual Roots will be nourished and refined!"
Hearing this, people were very excited.
How wonderful is this! The McFlurry has the same effect as the Häagen-Dazs Ice Cream.
"Long live General Zhuge!"
People applauded and exclaimed.
"We should let everyone in the world know about this product, so we can all enjoy its benefit." Xu Que smiled. "Now I would like to introduce its price."
Hearing this, people stopped applauding.
Currently, without a membership card, people could also buy Xu Que's products. Still, if Xu Que set a very high price, not everyone would be able to really afford it.
"So, how much will this be? Let's look at the wall," Xu Que said while operating the projector.
Soon, a few words appeared on the wall.
"Ten thousand Spirit Stones."
Seeing this, everyone was shocked.
Only ten thousand Spirit Stones? Seriously? One only needs to spend seven hundred thousand and he could enjoy the ten courses of treatment?! This is unbelievable!
Is he joking? He is such a greedy businessman, can it be possible that he has now become a decent man? Ten thousand Spirit Stones is like giving us a McFlurry Ice Cream for free…
In fact, people had expected the price to be a million Spirit Stones. or at least several hundred thousand Spirit Stones. They had never thought a McFlurry could be this cheap.
"I have said before that I am a decent man and my company is one that values integrity. Since I have decided that my products should target common folk, it is only reasonable that I sell my product at a reasonable price. I hope everyone in the Water Nation can enhance their Spiritual Roots while enjoying this delicious ice cream. A country can only be prosperous while its young citizens are powerful!" Xu Que said rather seriously.
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
A country can only be prosperous while its young citizens are powerful!
I see, I see! What General Zhuge wants is the prosperity of our country, and the happiness of all of us!
He is not a greedy person, I have misunderstood him!
He is a great man who only thinks about his country and his fellows.
"Long live General Zhuge!"
"Long live General Zhuge!"
…
Everyone was deeply moved and crying, while yelling 'Long live General Zhuge!'.
…
In the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce, the few influential figures almost passed out when they heard what was going on in Wanda Plaza.
"This young man is as sneaky as a fox! He has set a low price simply to draw more customers to the Wanda Plaza, and to make that place the new 'central market'! If everything goes as he has planned, the price of the stores on that street... will be extremely high!"
