Chapter 264 Lin Hai's Strategic Planning, The Rise of a Myth
However, Lin Hai and Hua Zitong's plan was clearly superior.
Based on her past life's experience, Hua Zitong knew that the direction of public opinion often depended on who could occupy the moral high ground. She instructed Lin Hai to repeatedly emphasize Li Wu's "restraint" in the publicity.
"The guild leader clearly had the ability to instantly kill them, yet he only crippled Blood Wolf Battle Soul's shoulders; this is already the greatest mercy!"
"To fight ten against one, yet not a single person died—isn't that a sign of respect for the law?"
These remarks sparked widespread discussion among the awakened.
"To be honest, I watched the video. The speed and accuracy of 'Seeing Flowers Through the Fog' is simply inhuman!" A player with the ID "Wind Whisperer" posted on the forum. "If he really wanted to kill, none of those Blood Wolf Guild members would walk out of here standing."
"Exactly! That Blood Wolf Soul was arrogant and domineering in the Origin Realm, and now that he's in the real world, does he think he can do whatever he wants?" Another player with the ID "Messenger of Justice" commented, "Breaking his shoulders is too lenient!"
"But then again, it's in the real world after all. Using the power of an Awakened One is still a bit... well, you know." Some rational players also expressed their concerns.
"Didn't the Dragon Shield Bureau not pursue the matter? What does that mean? It means that the Dragon Shield Bureau also approves of the guild leader's handling of the situation!" Members of the Myth Guild also actively participated in the public opinion battle, cheering for Li Wu and the guild on various platforms.
In no time, the name "Seeing Flowers Through the Fog" once again topped the trending search list in Xinshicheng.
His strength, his composure, and his "restraint" have all become topics of great interest among the Awakened.
At the headquarters of the Myth Guild, Lin Hai stared at the constantly refreshing data on his computer screen, a satisfied smile on his face.
"Public opinion is starting to turn in our favor," Lin Hai reported to Hua Zitong. "The Blood Wolf Guild's counterattack seems weak and ineffective. Most Awakened Ones now believe that the Guild Leader was 'forced to retaliate' and 'showed mercy.'"
Hua Zitong nodded, a hint of approval flashing in her eyes: "Well done. However, we cannot let our guard down. Although the Blood Wolf Guild is at a disadvantage in terms of public opinion, the forces behind them will not give up easily."
"I understand." Lin Hai adjusted his glasses. "I've already instructed Night Wind's team to increase their surveillance of the Blood Wolf Guild members. At the same time, I'm also gathering information on the Blood Wolf Guild's past misdeeds in New Beginning City, preparing to deliver a fatal blow at the appropriate time."
"Hmm." Hua Zitong looked out the window. "This propaganda war is not only about clearing the guild leader's name, but also about laying a solid foundation for the 'Myth' guild in New Beginning City."
She knew that Li Wu's strength was the "Myth" guild's greatest trump card. But how to transform this trump card into real-world influence would require Lin Hai and her wisdom.
In the past two days, besides his daily meditation and exercise, Li Wu has also been paying attention to the trend of public opinion.
He witnessed Lin Hai and Hua Zitong's efforts, and he also saw the shift in public opinion. He knew in his heart that this was not just a victory in public relations, but also a testament to the profound impact his personal strength had had on the awakened people of New Beginning City.
He picked up his phone and saw a report sent by Lin Hai.
The report provides a detailed analysis of the reactions of the major Awakened organizations in New Beginning City to this incident.
【Sword and Rose】: Guild leader Sword Points at Rose has repeatedly expressed his shock and admiration for the strength of "Seeing Through the Fog" in private, and said that the "Myth" guild is the most trustworthy ally of "Sword and Rose".
[Ironblood Alliance]: Guild leader Ironblood Banner has remained silent, but within the guild, there is a deep-seated fear of "Seeing Through the Fog's" strength. Intelligence indicates that the Ironblood Alliance is intensifying its training, seemingly preparing for future conflict.
……
Li Wu put down her phone, her face expressionless.
He knew that this propaganda war had successfully pushed the "Myth" guild to the core of the Awakened forces in New Beginning City.
Now, everyone is beginning to take the existence of the "Myth" guild seriously, and to acknowledge its seemingly elusive strength.
This is exactly the result he wanted.
In the following days, the public opinion field in New Beginning City was completely controlled by the "Myth" guild.
Lin Hai's public relations offensive was like a precise arrow, hitting the mark every time.
He not only cleared Li Wu's name, but also transformed the "Myth" guild into a powerful yet restrained, strong yet rule-abiding organization of awakened individuals.
Numerous "science popularization posts" have appeared on various forums and social media platforms.
"Did you know? The guild leader, 'Seeing Flowers Through the Mist,' is a ruthless person who can take down a boss with her bare hands in the Origin Realm!"
"Those dozen or so Blood Wolf Warriors would be nothing more than a matter of learning a new skill in a game. He only held back because he didn't want to cause any deaths in real life!"
These posts, accompanied by carefully edited video clips, quickly spread among the awakened community.
In the video, Li Wu's figure moves through the narrow room like a ghost, dodging every attack from the Blood Wolf Guild members.
Each of his arrows precisely struck the enemy's joints and vital points, instantly rendering them unable to fight, yet leaving them unharmed.
This style of "precision strikes" and "disruption of abilities" is refreshing for those awakened individuals who are used to the "world-destroying" battles in the Origin Realm.
They realized that in the real world, true power is not just about dealing high damage, but also about having the ultimate control over power.
"I finally understand. The guild leader, who's all talk and no action, isn't the kind of reckless brute he is," a veteran Awakened One commented on the forum. "His understanding of power has surpassed that of us ordinary Awakened Ones."
"Yeah, I used to think he was just lucky to get a Mythic item. But now it seems that Mythic equipment can only unleash its true power in his hands!"
Even some players who were previously jealous of Li Wu have begun to change their attitudes.
They realized that Li Wu's strength was not accidental, but rather stemmed from his profound understanding and masterful application of power.
The Blood Wolf Guild's counterattacks, however, appeared increasingly weak and ineffective. They were unable to produce any evidence to prove that Li Wu had "abused force."
Because of the intervention of the Dragon Shield Bureau and the fact that Li Wu did not cause any permanent damage, they have no legal or moral grounds to stand.
Ultimately, under pressure from public opinion, Blood Wolf War Soul himself had no choice but to issue an "apology statement." In the statement, he admitted that he had acted "impulsively" and apologized for the "negative impact" on New Beginning City.
However, the statement made no mention of Li Wu's "atrocities," but instead subtly implied that he had been "unfairly treated."
This statement, ironically, became an "assist" for Lin Hai's public relations team. They immediately seized upon the loopholes in the statement, exaggerating the Blood Wolf Warriors' "unrepentant" and "insincere" nature.
"See! Blood Wolf Warrior Soul is the kind of person who refuses to admit defeat! He apologizes with his mouth, but who knows what kind of bad intentions he's plotting!"
"How can someone with such character lead a guild? How can they become an Awakened One?"
In an instant, the image of the Blood Wolf Guild in the hearts of the Awakened in New Beginning City plummeted.
Their reputation plummeted.
Meanwhile, the "Myth" guild rose to prominence during this media battle.
