Chapter 396 - 396 280 Attention from Qionghua City

396: Chapter 280: Attention from Qionghua City 396: Chapter 280: Attention from Qionghua City Recently, although my mom had resigned from her job at the school, due to the establishment of Light Blue Starry Sky, she didn’t stay idle and took on the role of chairman in the company.

These days, whenever she had time, she was busy recruiting people and setting up the company framework.

For her, a university teacher who had been teaching for half her life, this was the first time she was putting her taught subjects into practice.

Zhang Xiaoman trusted her completely, after all, she was his own mother.

If he couldn’t trust her, who could he trust?

However, so far, Light Blue Starry Sky had not produced any corresponding products, and the company was considered a high-tech one.

According to the plan, Zhang Xiaoman intended to use spare props he obtained later for developing technology.

Once the products were launched, he naturally planned to dominate the market with advanced technology, aiming to accumulate wealth in the later stages.

But as of now, he temporarily had no props to offer.

Let’s not even talk about the Anti-gravity Car; he only had one and it was incredibly expensive.

With his current conditions, he simply couldn’t afford a second one for research.

As for the Star Network Terminal, it was feasible to arrange, but the problem remained the same as before; Zhang Xiaoman temporarily lacked the funds for such things.

The overseas building materials trading company that Su Fu was managing had just been set up, and the funds had not yet been recollected, so Zhang Xiaoman needed to wait a while longer.

So, for now, Light Blue Starry Sky was just a future development reserve.

High-tech like this, without a large amount of capital for initial investment, was very difficult to manage.

As for now, of course, the priority was to sell emerging materials and make quick money.

…

The next day.

The incident that occurred yesterday, after fermenting overnight, had already started to spread.

Although the Abnormality Department had preemptively arranged staff to prepare for a news blackout, because of the wide scope of the incident, the effectiveness was not ideal.

If it had only been the initial battle between the Fire Python and the vines, then blocking the related news wouldn’t have been very difficult.

However, when the Emperor Vine, over 60 meters tall, later appeared, even rivaling a gigantic plant like Godzilla, it thrust the event into the spotlight.

After all, a height of over 300 meters was simply too tall, and even though the Abnormality Department had evacuated the nearby streets and communities, such a height could be seen from several kilometers away.

So it’s fair to say that the final attack by the World Tree was probably witnessed by nearly half the city’s population.

However, this event was not without redeemable aspects.

Although many people witnessed the scene of the World Tree’s appearance, before that, because of the Emperor Vine’s 20+ kilometer range Biological Pulse, which paralyzed all electronic devices, everyone’s phones and cameras went out of action.

In other words, in this incident, except for those who were close enough to capture the Emperor Vine, no one could record the World Tree’s video.

This led to everyone talking about seeing the giant monster, but no one could provide evidence.

Moreover, the weather at that time wasn’t good either, and from a distance, it was hard to see clearly what was happening there, so even though some people saw the World Tree appear, there were still some doubts.

After all, in an environment where they had lived for decades, who could so easily believe that extraordinary creatures existed in this world?

Even if there was that apocalypse topic a few years ago that was wildly discussed, in the end, how many really believed it?

Most were just following along to see the excitement.

Compared to a monster fight, these people were even more inclined to believe that a mirage had appeared.

So, the incident eventually had a clear direction for resolution, with the reality show coming out to bear the blame, all of this was actually just the special effects of the program on site, and the monster was nothing more than a neon light projection.

Regarding this explanation, naturally, there were people online who believed it and others who questioned it.

However, the latter group was obviously smaller, because all those who had seen it with their own eyes couldn’t produce any evidence to prove their claims.

Nowadays, no one is foolish, without relevant facts, who would easily believe such an incredible story?

“I’ve already said so many times, when most of Qionghua City had a blackout, how could you expect us to have photos or videos!”

In a fairly popular forum, a user who posted about witnessing the monster’s battle replied beneath several skeptics’ comments.

Right after his message was sent, it immediately received a response.

“Heh, a blackout?

Can you stop using that excuse?

It’s true that Qionghua City had a blackout, I have a friend who said the same, but I’m curious, what does the blackout have to do with your inability to record?

You could use your phone, it’s not like it would stop working because of the blackout, right?”

“Or are you trying to tell us that you were actually hit by a super electromagnetic bomb that completely paralyzed you all?

Do you really think this was an alien invasion?”

As soon as this person made their comment, many others immediately followed with supportive replies.

“Exactly, the production team of the show has already confirmed, it was indeed pre-arranged effects, and the monster was nothing more than a projection from neon lights.”

“That’s right, some people just like to go to any lengths for attention, talking about a 300-meter-high monster, do they really take us all for fools?”

“Agree with the previous comment, I’m just puzzled, why is it every time monsters, sea monsters, UFOs, and such appear, there’s always some reason why no photos or videos can be taken.

Either they’re too blurry to make out anything, aren’t phones supposed to be able to capture the moon now?

How come they always have trouble when it comes to monsters right in front of them?”

“…”

Below, the number of comments just kept increasing rapidly, reaching over a thousand in a short while.

However, most of them were skeptical, with only a very few agreeing with the original poster’s claims.

This scene made the original poster himself very frustrated.

He wasn’t the type who liked to mingle on forums, and his only intention in posting was to share the incident with everyone.

But who knew that in the end, hardly any people would believe him, almost uniformly they were rebutting his view, to the extent that he himself began to doubt the reasons behind the incident, which was almost unbearable for him.

However, this guy was also someone who often got hung up on details; seeing his post repudiated by so many and also getting insulted, he immediately clicked to delete the post without worrying about any repercussions.

But to his surprise, when he clicked the mouse, the system prompted him with the message: “This post has been pinned and featured by the administrator, it cannot be deleted directly, please contact the administrator if you have any issues.”

“Damn it!”

The person tossed the mouse, scratching his hair with a face full of vexation, unsure whether to feel relieved or more troubled.

Next, a message suddenly appeared in his inbox, he hastily opened it to see a message from the system.

“Dear user, as your post ‘Witnessing the Entire Incident of the Monster in Qionghua City, Sharing the Scene with You All’ has reached 5000 replies, our forum will arrange for advertisements to run, and the profits will be shared with you, please click the link below for the confirmation document to understand more details…”
