If you'd like to watch this debate like I did, you can try the Empire's newly launched ( ) event...

……

At this moment, everyone in the entire multiverse stared blankly at Qi Zhibai's words in the video.

In just three minutes, this guy rattled off more than twenty advertisements with eloquent speech, and his delivery was fluent and smooth throughout without the slightest pause.

Especially in Ye Jie, where Qi Zhi Bai is located, seeing their own Rank 7 members advertising in the debate competition, they didn't know how to describe their feelings.

This is perhaps the most effective advertisement in the world.

After all, this is advertising to all the worlds.

Starting today, people in all these multiverses have heard about the [Daytime Neck and Shoulder Massager] and the [Miracle Little Lucky Ice Blanket]...

This is a great item with a level 7 certification!
It can relieve neck and shoulder pressure and cool you down in the summer. I'm sure even a level 6 player would want to buy one and try it out.

At the scene, as the advertisement for "Qi Zhi Bai" appeared, seven or eight people gradually changed their ticketing side from red to blue.

This scene made the affirmative side both angry and anxious.

Their once impregnable defense was breached by Fang Can's strategy!
Yuan Yan turned to Guai Li and the others and said, "Hey, judges! Moderator! This should be considered a violation, right? I request that his debate qualification be revoked!"

Looking at Yuan Yan, who had previously accused her of something, Guai Li snorted coldly, "First speaker for the affirmative side, please abide by the rules of debate and do not interrupt the second speaker's speech."

"And doesn't the Imperial Law prohibit advertising during debates?"

“These advertisers pay taxes legally in the Empire, so they naturally have the right to advertise in the debate arena. This is a free market, isn’t it?”

As she spoke, Guai Li's tone became serious: "If you don't listen to advice, you'll get a yellow card warning! Three warnings without effect will result in a red card and disqualification from the debate!"

"This is unfair, it should be—"

Before Yuan Yan could finish speaking, the two judges, Yan and Luan Shuohua, simultaneously showed him yellow cards, effectively silencing him.

Seeing Yuan Yan sit back down in his seat with a frustrated expression, the three judges and hosts touched the heavy gold and gems in their pockets and revealed knowing smiles.

These were all items that Fang Can had previously stolen from the shop. During the intermission, he used them all to bribe the hosts and judges, and the advertising fees he received were all deposited into the program director's account.

While this money cannot force judges to cast their subjective votes for the opposing side, it is still acceptable to favor Fang Can as long as it does not violate the rules.

Take this situation, for example.

If Fang Can didn't offer a bribe, he would probably get a yellow card from the judges for violating advertising regulations.

After all, the power of interpretation rests entirely with the judges, hosts, and directors.

"What do we do now?" Yuan Yan asked anxiously as he sat back down.
"Won't we get upset after taking on home-field advantage?"

After pondering for a moment, the second debater, Ling Qi, said, "I have a plan, but I don't know if it's feasible!"

"What plan? Tell me quickly!" Wenxuan, the fourth debater, urged.

“He’s advertising! Then we’ll advertise too!” Ling Qi said!
"We're advertising too? What kind of advertising?" The third debater, Ye Xingdi, asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It's simple, we just do as he says and snatch the advertisement across the street!"

A ruthless glint flashed in Ling Qi's phoenix eyes: "We're the protagonists, the heroes! Aren't our advertisements more effective than his?"

Yuan Yan frowned: "You mean, we should advertise against them so they have no ads to run, and then their employees will switch sides and vote for us again?"

The three people present showed a thoughtful expression.

This plan... doesn't seem like it's a bad idea!

Ling Qi nodded in agreement, "That's right. When it's my turn to speak, I'll just repeat what he said! And we'll snatch all the tickets back!"

Meanwhile, as Qi Zhibai was giving his speech, Fang Can looked at the other two and said, "After Qi Zhibai finishes speaking, it will be the second speaker's turn. He only has two options."

"One is to spout empty rhetoric like in the previous debates, and the other is to steal our advertising space."

A hint of surprise flashed in Shao Guang's eyes: "Stealing our advertising?"

"Yes, but don't worry, we've already bribed the referee. No matter what he does, I have a way to deal with it."

"What do you want to do?" Shaoguang asked.

Fang Can smiled faintly: "We just need to deconstruct their statements!"

……

While the discussion of tactics was underway, Qi Zhibai had already finished speaking.

After bowing in thanks, he sat back down, his face beaming with excitement, and said, "Advertising really works! We actually got ten votes!"

"Don't rush, this is just the beginning. We'll get even more votes during the third debate." Fang Can patted Qi Zhibai on the shoulder, signaling him to relax.

Seeing the calm and collected young man throughout, the other seven cultivators couldn't help but feel that there might actually be hope this time.

'How does this little brain work? Everyone else's intelligence is suppressed to the level of an average person, so how come this guy has such a wild imagination?'

Looking at Fang Can, the other three seventh-level cultivators couldn't help but have strange thoughts.

"Thank you for the excellent advertisement from the second speaker of the opposition. Next, please welcome the second speaker of the affirmative side to give his speech. Let's see how he will refute it. He also has three minutes."

Then the host's voice came again, and Ling Qi, the second debater for the affirmative side, slowly stood up from the debate stage.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, he solemnly declared in a loud voice: "If you have neck and shoulder discomfort, use the [Zhouyu Neck and Shoulder Massager]!"

"puff--"

Seeing the opposing side also advertising, the audience members, even those drinking water in the venue and across the multiverse, all subconsciously spat out the water in their mouths.

They stared in astonishment at Ling Qi, who was reading the advertisement with a serious expression: No, you bite a lighter when you have nothing to do, and you can plagiarize advertisements, right?
For a moment, all the viewers felt a mix of emotions.

They came to watch the debate, but it turned into an advertisers' conference!
Damn it, members-only ads? Are we going to spend the whole debate, which is over an hour long, on ads?

But Lingqi's advertisements were indeed very effective; the ten opposing supporters at the scene hesitated, wondering if they should change their votes.

Hahahahahahahaha—

But just as Ling Qi began to speak in the debate, a stiff and formulaic laugh came from the other side, abruptly interrupting his spoken advertisement.

Indeed, the voice came from the opposing debate platform. "What's going on?" Everyone looked over.

But then they saw Fang Can holding up a phone, which was playing a continuous stream of formulaic laughter.

That's... canned laughter!!!
The opposing side actually used canned laughter while the affirmative side was advertising?!
It has to be said that the originally boring advertising narration actually became somewhat... comical when contrasted with the laughter from the canned food.
As everyone looked up at him amidst the laughter of the canned food, no one paid attention to him speaking, which greatly diminished the effectiveness of the advertisement.

Almost immediately, Yuan Yan slammed his fist on the table in anger: "Referee! This guy is disrupting the order of the debate!"

"Ahem." Guaili coughed lightly and said, "Fellow debaters, it's time for the affirmative side's debate. Please turn off... *pfft*..."

As she continued, Guai Li unconsciously chuckled, then realized she hadn't been serious enough and suppressed her laughter, saying:

"Please close the can, or you'll get a yellow card warning."

His eccentric laughter immediately drew a burst of laughter from the audience.

Then, under Yuan Yan's angry gaze, Fang Can nodded and turned off the phone's audio, then began... forming hand seals?
Although Fang Can stopped making a sound, his long arms began to move continuously, forming a series of complex hand gestures.

No! This isn't a hand seal! It's sign language?!

Seeing Fang Can constantly using sign language as if he were mute, Yuan's eyes blazed with rage, and he roared:
"Referee! This guy is disrupting the debate! I request that he be removed!"

"Question!" Almost immediately, Qi Zhibai and Shaoguang stood up from the debate stage to object: "Which debate rule says that sign language is not allowed in the debate?"

"Furthermore, Fang Po's sign language was meant for us so that we wouldn't disturb your advertising while we were communicating, and yet you object?"

Looking at the righteously eloquent opposing side, Yuan Yan felt his blood pressure rise and turned to look at the host.

"My fellow debaters, the rules only stipulate that others are not allowed to speak or interfere during the presentation of arguments, but it is clear that there is no rule against touching or speaking."

Guai Li innocently spread his hands and said, "Therefore, this objection is invalid."

Seeing Fang Can silently gesturing in sign language, Yuan Yan forced himself to endure it and sat back down.

However, no one was paying attention to Lingqi's advertisements at the scene.

After all, what he was reciting were just the same advertisements that Qi Zhibai had run before, which lacked any originality.

On the contrary, Fang Can, with his superb sign language, stole the spotlight, making everyone lose interest in what the affirmative side was saying.

This directly reduces the effectiveness of the advertisement.

Everyone watched Fang Can's long, slender fingers moving. The men wanted to know what the sign language meant, while the women blushed with embarrassment.

Three minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Ling Qi sat back down in his seat with a frustrated expression and glared fiercely at Fang Can.

The advertisement, which they had carefully copied, was completely outcompeted by the other party's finger dance in terms of competitiveness.

Fang Can's tactic of diverting attention worked remarkably well; after his turn, the vote count remained completely unchanged.

Thinking of this, he felt indignant, but then he noticed that Fang Can across from him seemed to have noticed his gaze and a cold smile appeared on his face.

Affirmative: 90 points

Opposing side: 10 points

……

"What do we do now?" Ling Qi slammed his fist on the table with a sour face. "Nobody watches the ads. It'll be his turn again soon."

"It's simple!" Emperor Yexing said coldly, "When it's his turn, we'll also use sign language to interfere!"

"Why didn't you use sign language when I was talking about the advertisement?" Ling Qi frowned, somewhat dissatisfied.

"Fool, what would happen if both sides started finger dancing?" Emperor Yexing sneered.

As he spoke, the other three pondered for a moment:
One person is verbally delivering an advertisement, while the rest are using sign language. To someone who doesn't understand, it might look like the two sides are exchanging ninja hand seals and exchanging blows.

If that scene were to happen, even fewer people would likely watch their advertisements.

"That's how we'll do it! When the opposing team has their third speaker, we'll use sign language to attract everyone's attention!" Emperor Yexing sneered.

On the opposing side, Fang Can had already explained to Shao Guang what he was going to say next.

"This isn't a good idea." Thinking of Fang Can's methods, Shao Guang hesitated for a moment and said, "This is too ruthless. What if the audience has a backlash?"

"They wouldn't dare, don't worry." Fang Can revealed a calm smile.

On stage, the host, Guai Li, said, "After Fang Po's sign language interference, the plagiarism of the second speaker of the affirmative side had the opposite effect."

"Now it's the opposing side's turn. What do you two judges think the opposing side will do, meow?"

Faced with the illogical question, Luan Shuo fell into a deep thought.

In the past, he would have said that the opposing side had no chance of winning, but now the other side has gained a difference of at least 10 votes, a huge margin.

If the opposing side continues to use unimaginable and unconventional tactics, it seems there is still hope.

“I think the third speaker for the opposing side will probably try to appease the remaining audience.” Yan said, resting his chin on his hands. “It’s very likely that he will send money to these audience members as a bribe.”

"Haha, Judge Yan is really good at joking." Guai Li touched her bulging money bag and gave an awkward smile.

But the blue-haired boy also had some doubts in his heart, as it seemed that pleasing the audience was the only way out.

"Next, we invite the third speaker from the opposing side to speak. Let's see how he refutes us. He also has three minutes," Guai Li said.

As the words of the opposing side were spoken, the third speaker of the opposing side slowly stood up from the stage, his face showing an unprecedented seriousness.

He had heard the entire conversation between Guaili and Yan, but all he wanted to do was laugh.

Fang Can's tactics were never about pleasing the audience, but about destroying them!
Shaoguang took a deep breath and said with unprecedented solemnity:

"I, Shaoguang, hereby formally report that the first person in the first row of the audience is 50, a spy who has infiltrated our fabricated empire!"

"what!!!"

At the scene, as Shao Guang shouted, the people in the positive seats who were originally preparing to perform a hand gesture dance froze on the spot, looking at Shao Guang with the eyes of looking at aliens!

The three people who had previously guessed the situation—Guaili, Random Talk, and Yan—all showed expressions of astonishment.

I've seen people attack their opponents in debates, but I've never seen anyone report an audience member in a debate.

The man who was reported by Shao Guang turned pale instantly.

He had no idea that he had simply watched a debate and suddenly became a spy.

Looking down from the stands, Fang Can's face showed a satisfied expression, which he had expected.

The move that Shaoguang is using now is called: The Warlords!
