'I can't believe it.' Nick Fury, as the first person to finish reading the booklet, was already imagining the huge social impact that White Night's book would have after its release.
'Damn it, this has already affected the lowest rungs of society. How can they just distribute books like this?' Nick Fury thought to himself, glancing at the people around him lost in their own fantasies. His heart sank again, and he couldn't hold back his anger.
It's important to understand that this was being broadcast live globally. Not only was the event being held on-site, but Kingpin also uploaded the booklet to the internet at the same time, instantly reaching hundreds of thousands, even millions, of people. It had already spread like wildfire and was unstoppable.
'Not to mention...' Like many others, Nick Fury looked up and glanced at the boy sitting by the podium with his eyes closed, thinking that this boy was not to be trifled with either.
Soon, five minutes passed quietly. Bai Ye slowly opened his eyes and walked to the front of the stage, saying, "I believe everyone has read the preface in detail. Every word in it is true."
"However, to see for yourself, I will randomly select one person from among you based on your numbers and give him 100 years of precious internal energy for free on the spot."
Wow! ! !
As soon as Bai Ye said this, the entire audience erupted in a tsunami-like uproar. Faced with such an opportunity to become a superman, even they couldn't sit still.
The people at the scene looked at each other; this was indeed a way to prove the booklet's authenticity.
After all, everyone present was a celebrity and they all knew each other. Under such circumstances, whoever gained the inner power could be verified later.
During the live stream, a massive amount of bullet comments had already surrounded the video.
"Fuck fuck fuck fuck! Why? Why can only the people present be drawn?!"
"Please, change the lottery criteria, pick mine!"
"What are you thinking? There's definitely something fishy going on with this lottery. The winner is definitely an actor."
……
Regardless of the noise during the live broadcast, everyone at the scene was clenching their fists, eagerly anticipating who would be drawn.
They didn't have to wait long before a huge spinning wheel appeared on the large screen on stage.
The number on the turntable ranges from 1 to 495, representing the number of guests present.
With a click of the mouse, Bai Ye's mouse wheel began to spin slowly.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the numbers on the spinning wheel as the pointer rolled.
If someone sees the pointer pass over the number corresponding to their seat, their breath will involuntarily quicken, and their mood will turn to disappointment, feeling that their number was drawn too early.
At this moment, faced with the temptation of getting something for nothing, no matter if they are presidents, queens, or tycoons, they all become gamblers hoping for the lottery results.
As the number wheel on the screen scrolled, Bai Ye gently clicked on a number with the mouse. The next moment, the wheel began to slow down rapidly, and then it slowed down even more.
34...62...71...
Finally, amidst the disappointment of most of the audience, the pointer was placed on position 80.
The moment the location was confirmed, everyone present slapped their thighs in regret.
The other person turned their gaze to seat number 80, and when they saw who it was, gasps of surprise filled the room.
Position 80 is located on the far right of the fourth row. There is actually no seat there; instead, a wheelchair serves as the seat.
In the wheelchair sat an elderly man with a full head of short blond hair. He wore a simple white coat, was thin, had a stiff face, and his exposed arm muscles were atrophied.
The man was tilting his head to look at the screen, his eyes gleaming with a desire to explore the mysteries of the universe.
"It's him!!!"
"How could it be him?"
"This……"
At the scene, everyone was stunned when they saw the old man. A look of disbelief flashed in their eyes. Could this really be random?
Even Bai Ye on stage showed a hint of surprise in his eyes. He hadn't expected Kingpin to have chosen such a dramatic person as a shill...
Bai Ye paused for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "Alright, I didn't expect you to be the one drawn this time. Congratulations to Mr. Stephen William Hawking for being the lucky one here. I wonder if Mr. Hawking would be willing to cooperate with us?"
At this moment, the old man is being watched by everyone. His gaze selects words through a device on his glasses, and he chooses the one he wants by contracting the muscles around his eyes.
Amidst the strange looks from everyone in the audience, twenty or thirty seconds later, a voice simulating a human voice came from Hawking's wheelchair through a text converter.
"I feel very honored to be selected, and of course I am willing to cooperate."
Chapter 80 Huo! He stood up!
Stephen Hawking was on the list!
At this moment, both the viewers in the live stream and the celebrities present were astonished.
What kind of thing is this? To have a paralyzed scientist who has been diagnosed with ALS for many years pass on his skills? This is simply too outrageous.
But regardless, since Hawking was chosen, Bai Ye had no objection, and Hawking himself had no objection, then the transfer of power could naturally begin.
Soon, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Hawking was carried onto the stage by a special person, and he was placed in a cross-legged position. Then, a man with piercing eyes walked up from below the stage.
"Everyone, this is our internal energy vessel. We mobilized 10,000 people to practice martial arts together, and then channeled the results of more than 20 days into this human vessel's body. At this moment, the vessel has a total of 500 years of internal energy."
Kingpin pointed at the man who came up on stage and said that the man cooperated by channeling his inner strength, and instantly a dazzling purple light emanated from his body, making him look like a giant light bulb.
Everyone at the scene stared intently at the purple light before them, as if they were seeing their faith; it was practically their future.
The man, watching intently, walked step by step behind Hawking, sat down cross-legged, and the next moment, a massive amount of internal energy surged directly into Hawking's body, turning the light bulb on the stage into two.
As Kingpin's designated successor, Hawking had naturally observed the Zixia Divine Skill before today and spent a long time cultivating a trace of true energy within his body while paralyzed, thus fully meeting the conditions for the transfer of the skill.
With the continuous infusion of the man's internal energy, centuries of true qi were poured into Hawking's body, and the old man's expression became more peaceful and rosy. His previously atrophied muscles gradually regained their vitality under the abundance of internal energy.
Initially, when Bai Ye was short of energy, he could recover his strength through the true energy of the Zixia Divine Skill. At this time, under the influence of a massive amount of internal energy, Hawking's muscles, which had been stiff for many years, began to soften and regain their strength.
Bai Ye stood aside watching the show and whispered to Kingpin, "Why did you think of choosing him?"
Kingpin's lips trembled as he spoke in a voice barely audible to most people: "Mr. White, he is the person we have carefully selected."
"The team has already tested it, and Zixia True Qi can completely cure ALS. It also has a very good therapeutic and alleviating effect on late-stage cancer and AIDS. You will see him stand up from the ground and toast you in a moment."
Kingpin's voice, barely audible, was heard by Bai Ye without missing a single word. Bai Ye simply nodded, a smile playing on his lips, and resumed watching the show from the sidelines.
Two minutes later, the man who was the jinchūriki stood up, nodded to Byakuya and Kingpin beside him, and then walked away silently.
Was it a success? Or a failure? Or was it just a marketing blunder?
Everyone in the audience craned their necks to look at Hawking on the stage, eager for an answer.
Bai Ye walked onto the stage, smiled, and asked, "How do you feel, Mr. Hawking? You have now gained the internal energy of an ordinary person for a hundred years."
The next moment, Hawking's fingers trembled slightly as he was being supported by his assistant. Then, a burst of purple light appeared in his body, causing his head to tilt slightly and nod gently.
"He moved! Hawking actually moved!" The entire audience held their breath, watching Hawking's actions with excitement.
“In fact, according to our team’s experiments, you should be able to get up and walk around if you have internal energy,” Bai Ye said, squatting down as he held the microphone.
"The reason you can't get up is because you can't get over that hurdle in your mind."
"I...I can't do it..." Under everyone's wide-eyed gaze, Hawking said in a hoarse voice, "I...I can...speak normally now!"
'Oh my god, I actually saw Hawking speaking with my own eyes!' Everyone in the audience exclaimed in their hearts. This was absolutely outrageous, the most outrageous of all.
But what happened next was even more outrageous. As Hawking spoke, his body began to tremble slightly with the help of his internal energy. Then, he actually raised his right hand little by little, pushed away his assistant's support, and got up from the ground.
When Hawking stood up on his own, the entire audience erupted in applause. Everyone was amazed by the power of his internal energy; it was nothing short of a medical miracle.
"I'm... back to normal! I'm... back to normal!" Hawking said excitedly in a hoarse, dry voice. This was something he had never dared to hope for in his life.
At this moment, faced with the irrefutable facts, everyone temporarily believed in the authenticity of the internal force. After all, Hawking had stood up and spoken to you, so what could be more outrageous?
Hawking staggered as he moved his body, then reached out and tightly grasped Bai Ye's hand, saying, "Thank you, thank you for giving me another chance to live."
"You earned this yourself," Bai Ye said with a nonchalant smile, feeling the strength in the other's hand—enough to crush wood—after the internal energy was added. "Now please return to your seat; the press conference still needs to proceed."
"Thank you, thank you!" Hawking repeatedly expressed his gratitude. Under the gaze of everyone present, he walked step by step to his wheelchair. Although he staggered, his firm steps made everyone envious.
If a disabled person can walk freely with inner strength, what about able-bodied people?
Professor X, in particular, looking at his paralyzed legs, finally understood why Eric had specifically given him those two tickets.
When Hawking returned to his seat, everyone around him excitedly started chatting with him. Although Hawking spoke haltingly, it was already a miracle.
At this moment, everyone was filled with excitement, hoping that they could possess inner strength, since those present certainly had the potential to do so.
But most viewers of the live stream felt disheartened, as they didn't have the financial resources of those watching and could only hone their skills through arduous practice. When would this ever end? It was nothing more than a game of capital.
Seeing the noisy atmosphere, Bai Ye clapped his hands lightly, and the next moment, under the control of Kingpin's men, a presentation PPT appeared on the screen.
"I believe everyone has already understood the effects of our internal energy. Internal energy can flow like money, just as described in the manual," Bai Ye said, looking at everyone present.
"The global population is 60 billion, and most of them are ordinary people who need to work during the day. Even if they spend their nights cultivating, they can only gain a little bit of internal energy."
"Therefore, the total amount of internal energy produced each day is only 16 million years. Considering the 20% loss from each transaction, internal energy will always be scarce."
"In other words, in this era, internal strength is more precious than gold."
Chapter 81 White Night: I'll Make You Fly
"My original intention in selling 'Everyone Can Practice' at a low price to everyone is to make it easier for everyone to do business, to help those with capital live longer, and to enable ordinary people to live a good life through their own labor."
Bai Ye picked up a book and said, "You don't need any production tools. As long as you memorize the contents, an ordinary person can generate a trace of internal energy by reading one book in one night."
“We do not control the price of internal energy trading. The entire market is completely free. You can sell a trace of internal energy for one hundred, one thousand, or even ten thousand US dollars.”
"Even if a trace of internal energy is valued at one hundred dollars, your work in one night can earn you one hundred dollars, which would allow you to live a good life in most countries."
"For those of you here who need to rely on internal energy to prolong your lives and live to be a hundred years old, eighty years of internal energy would only cost a mere three million six hundred and fifty thousand US dollars. Compared to any other method, this is absolutely without side effects and is absolutely economical."
"There's only one disease in this world, and that's poverty." As Bai Ye spoke, he raised his right hand, pressing three fingers together. "And internal energy is money! It's the source of life!"
As Bai Ye explained, everyone present was deeply captivated by the beautiful vision he painted, and some even wanted to stand up and ask, "So, where can we buy the book?"
Bai Ye's words were like Pandora's box, sparking a series of imaginative thoughts.
"Even if you don't trade, storing up your inner strength is the best financial product. Even if you go bankrupt in the future, you can always cash out your inner strength and find a new owner."
"Do you have parents? If you want them to live to be a hundred years old, then start cultivating your inner strength now. Inner strength is life itself."
"Have you thought about your own children? If you want them to be free from all diseases, then you should prepare a hundred years' worth of true energy for them in advance, so that they are born behind the finish line."
"And I believe that everyone here has been troubled by some of these problems, such as toothache, nearsightedness, insomnia, neurasthenia, rough skin, or kidney deficiency. With internal energy, these pains will be far away from you from now on."
"The future is here. Today, 2010, marks the beginning of the Year of Internal Strength. Everyone should keep three copies of 'Everyone Has the Skill to Practice' at home for collection, personal use, and as gifts."
"Whether you are poor or rich, sick or healthy, you should buy this book. Although it doesn't give you money, you will gain something more precious than dollars: knowledge."
