Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 250 The Light of Civilization
"It's fake, it must be a computer-generated special effect!"

"Nonsense, who would drink in radiation? You stinking idiot who's just posing for a fake photo!"

"What kind of 'King of Youth' is this? They're treating us like dogs! Disgusting..."

"If it's really that disgusting, nuclear weapons are national strategic assets, not something he can use to show off!"

"Why are you guys taking this so seriously? I think this kid is pretty funny, interesting..."

Looking at the conversation in the chat group, Wei Yue felt a bit conflicted.

If Gao Wu hadn't joined Hai Wuji's sect, his position as the closest direct disciple of the Power King would have been replaced!
Who can blame him? He's got great martial arts skills, good looks, and he's young and eloquent too!
Thank goodness, that kid didn't come. He's still King Riki's favorite little apprentice!
No one can compete with the teacher for his family fortune...

For this reason, Wei Yue thought Gao Wu was pretty good; he was interesting, could fight, and was a good friend.

Wei Yue was still a little unhappy when he heard that Gao Wu had killed two level-six priests in Nanzhou. What were they supposed to do when this kid secretly trained so strong?
The chat group he was in was actually the Tianzhou Hunter Association's large group, which contained many level 5 and 6 experts, and of course, many more low-level warriors.

The Hunter Association is already a mixed bag, and who knows what kind of people are hidden in such a large group of thousands.

Seeing a group of people insulting Gao Wu, Wei Yue felt happy but also a little awkward. Damn it, if Gao Wu is so pathetic, what are we who are far inferior to Gao Wu?
Wei Yue felt increasingly upset as he looked at them. Damn it, a bunch of idiots who only know how to vent their emotions, they're all worthless.

"Gao Wu, I'll teach these bastards a lesson for you!"

Wei Yue, in a fit of rage, posted the screenshot his teacher had sent him to the group chat.

He had just asked the teacher about Gao Wu's situation, but the teacher didn't explain and just sent him this screenshot.

Now, he's going to show these trolls what's what!

The screenshot is Gao Wu's WeChat Moments, but the difference between the Moments that Wei Yue saw is the names of the people who liked and commented on it.

Li Wang Leiming and Gao Wu obviously have very few mutual friends, as there are only a handful of names that have been liked above.

Duke Qin, Duke Hai, Lei Ming, Qi Tian, ​​Chu Xiangdong, Lu Yuan, Yan Qiushui, Chu Shenxiu, Wei Yue.

Most people in the group know Wei Yue, but of course, there are also some newcomers who aren't very bright and don't know him.

Someone immediately jumped out and asked, "Dude, what's the point of posting a screenshot?"

What are you trying to say?

Wei Yue disdained to pay attention to such an idiot. There were countless martial artists in Tianzhou. It was normal that they didn't recognize him, but if they didn't even know his name, they were obviously of a low level!
Immediately, someone jumped out to mock: "You don't even know Brother Wei, yet you dare to spout nonsense!"

Someone even respectfully asked, "Brother Wei, who are Hai Gong and Qin Gong in this screenshot?"

Wei Yue countered, "Who else do you think deserves such a title?"

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, Brother Wei has two more Fetion accounts! That's amazing!"

"so cool!"

Immediately, someone posted a prostrate kneeling emoji, and a large group of people followed suit, maintaining an orderly queue.

Some people were confused and didn't dare to ask in the main group, so they privately messaged the veterans to ask: "Who are Hai Gong and Qin Gong?"

"Besides the two Martial Saints, Hai Wuji and Qin Jiuyue, who else could it be!" The veteran showed disdain, not even knowing such common sense.

"Wow!" the newcomer exclaimed. Wei Yue is so awesome! He quickly returned to the group chat and sent a kneeling emoji.

Wei Yue was also very pleased with himself. Although it was just his teacher's WeChat Moments, it didn't stop him from showing off.

Some of Wei Yue's old friends also sent him private messages, sending him all sorts of envious and jealous emojis, and some even asked to see the Martial Saint's WeChat Moments.

Wei Yue naturally refused outright. What a joke! He couldn't even see the Martial Saint's WeChat Moments, and these guys wanted to? Dream on! The screenshot in the large group quickly spread like wildfire in the private domain. There were many haters of Gao Wu, but he had even more fans.

The screenshot may seem insignificant, but it received likes from two Martial Saints and two Martial Kings, making it quite prestigious.

It's no exaggeration to say that based on this post on his WeChat Moments alone, Gao Wu could get a loan of hundreds of millions from a bank without needing collateral...

A screenshot has slapped many people in the face, but the haters only care about venting their emotions and don't care about these things at all.

Those who disagree say it's all fake! Those who are stupid say what these few likes prove.
As the screenshots circulated, many people became curious about this list of friends on WeChat.

Some people even provided explanations on dedicated answer websites, offering detailed interpretations of the names of each person who liked the post, which sparked another wave of online discussion.

Gao Wu also saw the screenshot. He naturally knew that it was sent by Li Wang Lei Ming, because he and Wei Yue had more mutual friends, and Wei Yue could not possibly have Hai Wuji's Feixin.

This screenshot is a good one; it seems to explain something yet doesn't, and this ambiguity and mystery only makes it more popular.

He wasn't really doing this to advertise; the key was to maintain the buzz.

For him, fame is an essential means of converting into merit. Without fame, who would know him, and who would pay attention to him?

Without attention, there is no recognition; without recognition, there is no merit.

Gao Wu didn't rush to release videos; the popularity is still rising, and he needs to manage these in a good rhythm to achieve better results.

This is not about deception, but about respecting the operating rules of the Internet and maximizing traffic.

The next day, Gao Wu took Song Mingyue back to Dongwei Island.

Hai Wuji is still at his beach villa in Qiancao City; he seems to really like this area of ​​the sea.

Upon seeing Gao Wu return, Hai Wuji assigned him the task of eliminating pirates.

The pirates were a diverse group, mostly followers of a demon god. However, the one they worshipped was the Flying Whale King, a demon god who claimed to rule the seas.

These pirates usually number only a few dozen, scattered across various small islands, and frequently harass cargo ships and merchant ships. They pose little threat but are very annoying.

Hai Wuji, a dignified sword saint, naturally couldn't personally deal with these minor characters. Dongwei Island was also busy dealing with its internal followers and had no spare capacity to manage these pirates.

He said to Gao Wu, "These pirates are very cruel; they often capture people for blood sacrifice. Once you've confirmed their pirate identities, you don't need to be polite..."

Hai Wuji then said considerately, "Take care of your own affairs first; a few more days won't make a difference."

"Understood. Master is so kind." Gao Wu knew that this kind of thing couldn't be hidden from Hai Wuji. Even if he didn't know Hai Wuji's true purpose, he could tell that Hai Wuji was deliberately creating hype.

Two days later, Gao Wu saw that the online buzz was starting to die down, so he asked Shen Yue to release the edited short video.

The video begins with a giant black snake, followed by a burst of white light, and then he and Song Mingyue raise their glasses to celebrate with a Menglong beverage.

The accompanying text reads: "Hold high the light of civilization to illuminate the path ahead."

Below, smaller print explains that this was a level seven mutated beast, extremely terrifying. For their safety, the team risked their lives to eliminate this beast…

The Longteng headquarters also released a promotional video. This time, the fourteen Longteng companies worked together to promote both the Raptors series and the Longteng company itself.

Promotions of this level have an immediate and noticeable effect.

That very evening, Gao Wu saw his merit points surge by over 100 million...
