In the corners of well-known websites, on the walls of the skyscrapers in the major cities of the Federation, the commercial named 'Ten Days Among Demons' was played over and over again before the broadcast of many popular TV shows.
At first, people took it as a normal video commercial.
But very soon, the sophisticated production, the soul-stirring content, and the daring first-person perspective of the battle scenes from the perspective of the Demon Beast Detector … all of these distinguished "Ten Days in the Den of Demons" from ordinary advertisements.
Many people didn't have the heart to turn it off even though they had already watched it. Instead, they enjoyed it again.
The clips of "Ten Days in Demons' Lair" were very clever. From the beginning to the end, the protagonists' faces were never shown. The fighting scenes were kept to a low level, too. There were no earth-shattering, earth-shattering scenes. The function of the Demon Beast Detector was highlighted everywhere.
It gave the audience the feeling that they could have done the same thing if they had a Demon Beast Detector.
When the audience learned that the commercial was based on a real person, they were even more surprised and curious. They couldn't help but turn on their mini crystal processors, scan the runes, and enter a brand new website.
On the website, the audience could see a brief introduction of Li Yao and the interviews of Li Yao and several instructors of the Thunder Training Camp in 'Predator', which proved that the commercial was real.
Other than that, Li Yao had also provided a series of sketches of the Demon Beast Detector. Shang Tianling had also invited a lot of artists to draw unique concept pictures of the Demon Beast Detector in which handsome men and beautiful women were fighting bloody battles with demon beasts.
An interactive game had been set up on the website. As long as the audience uploaded their profile picture, the video of them hunting demon beasts in the Thunderous Sound Mountain with the Demon Beast Detector would be automatically generated.
Every time they entered the website... The demon beasts they hunted were different.
Many of the audience refreshed the website more than ten times just to collect the pictures of themselves wearing the Demon Beast Detector.
Because of the bombardment, the Demon Beast Detector gradually became popular among the ordinary people. It became a little bit famous. "Demon Beast Detector. The guarantee of life. "The slogan of the commercial became familiar, too.
…
For 'Shark' Qiu Guanyu, the young master of the Zephyr Guild, his life in the past month had not been easy.
To suppress the Demon Beast Detector, the Zephyr Guild had invested a lot of resources.
Once he failed, the loss of these resources would be a small matter. The Zephyr Guild had refined similar magical equipment. The threat to their market share was the key to their survival.
Qiu Guanyu couldn't figure out where the Mountain Sea Sect got the money, and why would they use such a weird way to spend money?
Fighting an advertising war required a lot of money.
Qiu Guanyu had watched the advertisement more than ten times, not missing a single detail.
He was certain that this advertisement had been created by the most professional culture-type cultivator. The production cost alone was several hundred million yuan.
Needless to say, all the major media outlets in the Federation were spreading the news.
The Mountain Sea Sect had spent a month on advertising. An astronomical figure.
Even Qiu Guanyu was shocked by the speed and boldness of burning money, but he was also confused.
"Look at the entire Federation. The few crystal camera suppliers that are relatively large are all under my supervision. There are no plans to cooperate with the Mountain Sea Sect on a large scale recently.
"As for the various treasure dealers, there's no news of the Mountain Sea Sect's large-scale distribution of goods."
"That is to say, the Mountain Sea Sect can't produce enough Demon Beast Detectors, nor can they push the magical equipment to the terminal market.
"Then, here comes the question. The Mountain Sea Sect is spending so much money on advertising just to promote a piece of magical equipment that they can't produce and that their customers can't buy. What's their purpose?
"With such advertising, it won't take more than ten days to half a month. I don't even need to do anything. The advertising cost alone will crush the Mountain Sea Sect! "
In Qiu Guanyu's opinion … Even if the Mountain Sea Sect did find a new investor with a large sum of money, they should've found a few high-quality crystal camera suppliers to solve the most critical problem of the Demon Beast Detector. Then, they should've won over influential dealers and reestablished their own distribution network.
Qiu Guanyu had deployed a lot of manpower in these two areas. He was sure that the Mountain Sea Sect couldn't find a high-quality crystal camera supplier or a large magical equipment store that would sell the Demon Beast Detector.
But out of his expectation, the Mountain Sea Sect bypassed his impregnable defense line.
Suddenly, Qiu Guanyu felt as if he was stepping on air and felt uneasy.
His uneasiness soon turned into reality.
"The Mountain Sea Sect asked Jade Tripod Tower, Frosty Frost Valley, and Phoenix Dance to provide crystal cameras?
"What the hell is this?"
Qiu Guanyu was dumbfounded as he read the latest investigation report on his crystal processor.
The three suppliers that the Mountain Sea Sect asked for were all unknown small and medium-sized sects outside the top 500 in the Federation. They weren't even professional refining sects.
The crystal cameras that they produced were of low resolution and low quality. They weren't worth mentioning at all.
If such low-quality crystal cameras were used as the core components, the precision of the Demon Beast Detector would be greatly reduced. Which Cultivator would buy them?
Was the Mountain Sea Sect asking for death?
Qiu Guanyu was confused.
But the report that followed gave him a huge shock.
"What?
"The Mountain Sea Sect is going to release a low-quality Demon Beast Detector aimed at ordinary people?"
Qiu Guanyu felt as if he had been struck by a lightning bolt.
For a long time, he had been caught in a misconception that the Mountain Sea Sect and the Zephyr Guild would definitely compete in the high-end market for Cultivators.
He didn't expect that the Mountain Sea Sect didn't intend to compete with him in this market at all. They had sneaked into the low-quality market for ordinary people!
Countless ordinary people lived in the Demon Beast Wasteland.
Some of them were miners working in the major mining groups, some of them were residents of the major cities, and some of them were garrisons and their families.
The number of ordinary people was hundreds of times that of Cultivators.
Today, when demon beasts were getting more and more rampant, they needed to identify demon beasts.
The low-quality Demon Beast Detector was equipped with crystal cameras with low resolution. Of course, it couldn't meet the needs of Cultivators.
But for ordinary people, they could tell the basic types of demon beasts and whether they were poisonous or not. They could even tell the difference between demon beasts and ordinary animals. That was enough.
The Demon Beast Detector wasn't expensive in the first place.
As a result, the cost was even lower.
After all, the most valuable part of a Demon Beast Detector was the crystal camera. If the resolution of a Demon Beast Detector was only half as good, the price would drop by three quarters.
In the low-end market, the Zephyr Guild, which had always considered itself a specialist in precision magical equipment, didn't have such a powerful force that could do whatever it wanted.
Qiu Guanyu finally understood why the Mountain Sea Sect had spent so much money on advertising within a month.
It was to attract the attention of ordinary people. To leave a deep impression on the Demon Beast Detector!
"What is the share price of the Mountain Sea Sect right now?"
Cold sweat appeared on the tip of Qiu Guanyu's nose. He took a deep breath and asked his subordinate as calmly as possible.
"The Mountain Sea Sect's shares have been suspended. A press conference is about to be held. A new shareholder has become a shareholder of the Mountain Sea Sect!"
His personal assistant said nervously.
"Good. I finally know who is supporting the Mountain Sea Sect behind the scenes!"
Qiu Guanyu gnashed his teeth. The news wasn't out of his expectation.
If the Mountain Sea Sect hadn't found a strong backer … The capital chain of the Mountain Sea Sect had been broken a long time ago. Where could they get so much money for advertising?
The press conference that was broadcasted live on the Spiritual Nexus soon began.
"The Double Dragons Union, led by Fiend Blade Peng Hai, the youngest peak Building Foundation Stage expert in the Federation, has become a shareholder of the Mountain Sea Sect. It has become the third largest shareholder of the Mountain Sea Sect!
"Fiend Blade Peng Hai has also accepted the invitation of Shangguan Jia, the leader of the Mountain Sea Sect, to be a guest elder of the Mountain Sea Sect!
"Li Yao, the inventor of the Demon Beast Detector that the Mountain Sea Sect is promoting, is the junior brother of Fiend Blade Peng Hai and one of the shareholders of the Double Dragons Union!
"Through this investment, the cooperation between the two parties will be closer. It is also obvious that both parties are very confident in the Demon Beast Detector project!"
Qiu Guanyu's face was gloomy as he stared at the center of the light beam. Shangguan Jia, the leader of the Mountain Sea Sect, Elder Jiang Wenbo, Guan Xiong, and Fiend Blade Peng Hai were surrounded by many reporters. They walked to the front of the stage happily.
Fiend Blade Peng Hai took over the crystal microphone and smiled.
"Dear friends of the media and the finance industry. The purpose of today's press conference is threefold.
"Firstly, I want to announce the cooperation between the Mountain Sea Sect and me to the public.
"Secondly, I want to take this opportunity to introduce the latest magical equipment refined by the Mountain Sea Sect, the 'Young Pioneer Version of the Demon Beast Detector'. It is a piece of universal magical equipment designed for those who work, live, and explore on the Grand Desolate Plateau. Most of its abilities are retained, but its price is further lowered. Also, the speed and the way of displaying information have been optimized for ordinary people.
"I believe that many of you have seen the advertisement of 'Ten Days in Demons' Den '. The protagonist, my junior brother Li Yao, was able to escape from the Demon Beast Detector with the help of this magical equipment.
"However, before I introduce the details, please allow me to invite another distinguished guest. Welcome."
"Shua!"
The curtain behind the audience was lifted slowly, revealing the full name of the press conference.
"Joint Product Release Conference of the Mountain Sea Sect and the Moon Splitting Sword Sect!"
Fiend Blade Peng Hai dragged out his voice and said slowly,
"Bu Changfeng, the deputy leader of the Moon Splitting Sword Sect!"
As a short, fat man with a ruddy face walked to the front of the stage, the audience was buzzing louder and louder.
Everyone had heard that Fiend Blade Peng Hai had become a shareholder of the Mountain Sea Sect.
But how was the Moon Splitting Sword Sect related to the Mountain Sea Sect?
Besides, wasn't the Demon Beast Detector a piece of magical equipment refined exclusively by the Mountain Sea Sect? What was the meaning of the joint announcement?
"What?"
Qiu Guanyu's face changed color. He couldn't help but stand up.
The Moon Splitting Sword Sect was one of the top 500 sects in the Federation.
However, the Moon Splitting Sword Sect had always been a sect of pure sword Cultivators who were good at the refining and utilization of flying swords. They had never interfered with the Zephyr Guild or the Mountain Sea Sect.
He had never heard that the Moon Splitting Sword Sect was planning to enter the industry of precision magical equipment.
Qiu Guanyu's uneasiness was growing rapidly.
