Hybrid Spiritual Plant Cultivation

Chapter 290: Humaneness

The content of the finals has changed compared to the group stage.

The magic race has evolved from a mixed iron boat competition to a mecha competition.

The contestants were stuffed by Chen Jing into an iron can made of mixed iron, and all operations had to be carried out under the barrier of the mixed iron.

In this case, the contestants' abilities are almost completely restricted.

Therefore, Chen Jing also equipped these hybrid iron mechas with built-in attack, defense and mobility capabilities.

Leaving the contestant to fight back only through his built-in means.

Before this.

The contestants were privately approached by the puppet manufacturers of the An Ning Society.

"May I ask if you are the legendary ghost hunter Yuan Guyun?"

Yuan Guyun looked at the An Ning Society member in front of him and nodded gently: "It's me, who are you?"

"The marketing manager of the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce, Mu Qianshan."

"It turns out to be Manager Mu. I have heard of you for a long time."

Yuan Guyun really knew the other party.

Today, An Ning has three major puppet brands, namely: Chang'an Sword, Longhu and Jiuxuan; among them, Chang'an Sword is backed by the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce.

The background of the Chamber of Commerce can be traced back to two major families: the Ying family and the Chen family.

That’s right, it’s the Chen in Chen Jing.

Similarly, behind Longhu is Longhu Chamber of Commerce, and behind Jiuxuan is Jiuxuan Chamber of Commerce.

The capital behind it is also led by the wealthy families, but it is different from the original pure family business because it was jointly founded by major families and under the constraints of Chen Jing's rules and framework, the Chamber of Commerce is not a one-man show, so ability is still very important.

Manager Mu smiled and said, "Brother Yuan is very famous in the Southern Wilds and has performed brilliantly in the competition. I came here this time to represent the Chang'an Sword Puppet and cooperate with you."

"What kind of cooperation?"

"The content of the next match, Lord Chen calls it a mecha battle... In fact, it is also to promote the reputation of our An Ning Association puppets. The appearance of the 'mechas' provided at that time will also be mostly the appearance of the various puppets."

Manager Mu paused, then said, "I have a contract here. As long as Brother Yuan participates in the competition and chooses the appearance of a puppet under the Chang'an Sword, I will provide you with the following compensation."

He rolled out a beautiful paper contract.

Yuan Guyun took it subconsciously and glanced at it, his eyes widened.

"What?! Endorsement fee, one hundred thousand spirit notes?!"

The first place in the competition only earns 300,000!

This, this, this, just participating in the competition will give you 100,000?

What’s the difference between giving it for free!
"It's mainly because we in the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce admire Brother Yuan very much, so we specially offered a sincere price..."

Manager Mu smiled and said, "If you can wear the puppet with the appearance of the Chang'an Sword and achieve better results, the price will not be low, you see."

Push up another contract.

The top ten in the final ranking will receive an additional bonus of 50,000 yuan.

The top five will receive an additional 100,000 yuan.

The top three will receive an additional 100,000 yuan.

Rank first and get an extra two hundred thousand!

Yuan Guyun was overjoyed. He had so much money, plus the prize money from the competition, and he was only doing a cheap job!

He looked at it again and again.

In addition to spiritual banknotes, honorary members of the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce can enjoy a 10% discount three times a month.

Is there any chance to be the spokesperson for Chang'an Sword?

From then on, as the puppet of the brand, he has exclusive coupons.

"I really feel the sincerity of your Chamber of Commerce!"

Yuan Guyun signed his name right away, and according to the contract requirements, he invited the mountain god and land god to project and leave a witness mark.

Watching Manager Mu leave, he closed the door, turned around and took out the contract to look at it again.

"This Chang'an Chamber of Commerce is indeed a big name. It has its own reasons for being so rich and it knows how to appreciate my talent!"

……

After Mu Qianshan and Yuan Guyun said goodbye, they immediately found another person in the final circle.

"I have admired you for a long time..."

"We, the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce, greatly appreciate your performance in previous competitions."

"Yes, if you have any questions, feel free to ask!"

“A pleasure to work with”

……

Simultaneously.

The door of Yuan Guyun's room was knocked by another person.

"I am the director of Longhu Chamber of Commerce..."

"What? Already signed a contract with Chang'an Sword?!"

"Well, let's cooperate next time."

After closing the door, a voice like "Fuck Mu Qianshan" could be faintly heard.

Yuan Guyun couldn't help but sigh that he had really made progress.

Such a large chamber of commerce is vying to cooperate with him. What a pity! If he had not agreed so early, perhaps he could still wait for the right price.

However, they are all large chambers of commerce, so there shouldn’t be much difference in their bids.

After a while.

Other large and small chambers of commerce came to visit one after another.

Some of them came up and talked about their admiration, while others asked about Yuan Guyun's well-being. Even after learning that Yuan Guyun had signed a contract with Chang'an Sword, they still left their own offers, hoping for a chance to cooperate next time.

Yuan Guyun, who had always experienced intrigue and deception, had never encountered such a scene of people queuing up to give money. He felt very uncomfortable, but also inexplicably satisfied.

At last.

He grabbed a small Chamber of Commerce salesperson.

"Brother, I know your Chamber of Commerce is not giving money away for no reason, it must be profitable, but, can I simply use the appearance of your Chamber of Commerce's puppets to be worth 100,000 spirit notes?"

Looking at Yuan Guyun's puzzled expression.

The salesperson from the small chamber of commerce smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Yuan, I don't really understand it either, and neither does the chamber of commerce boss behind me. I just saw the big chambers of commerce doing it, so I followed suit... But if you want to know if it's worth it, I can tell you clearly that it's more than worth it."

“Where’s the value?”

"Which company do you usually choose when you purchase things, Fellow Daoist Yuan? As for puppets alone, there are countless large and small chambers of commerce, and the puppets provided by each chamber of commerce are different. In each field, they have their own unique advantages.
Just like my 'King of Farmland', it is a spiritual plant puppet that assists in planting spiritual plants. If you only focus on combat puppets, you definitely don't know my King of Farmland...

You don’t know, and neither do many other people. But if you wear Farmland King and become famous in the much-anticipated competition, and our Chamber of Commerce works harder to increase exposure, more people will know about Farmland King, and then more people will consume…”

After listening to the salesman's explanation, Yuan Guyun immediately understood, but to be honest, he still didn't feel like he had an answer.

Because he could deduce the answer himself.

Even in the Southern Wilderness, there is actually a group of people who value credibility, cultivate word of mouth, and pay great attention to maintaining the rules within their own small area.

For example, the famous 'Jiufeng Ghost Market' in the Southern Wilderness.

At first glance, there doesn't seem to be much difference between the two.

but.

Yuan Guyun soon realized that although this small circle in the Southern Wilderness attached importance to the credibility of rules, they were also willing to pay a price for the credibility of rules. Anyone who violated the rules would be hunted down at all costs.

But we will never spend money on active promotion.

After realizing this, he had two very contradictory thoughts.

On one hand, the question is “Why does the Chamber of Commerce of the An Ning Society spend money on publicity?”, and on the other hand, the question is “Yes, why doesn’t the Jiufeng Ghost Market spend money on publicity?”

Sometimes I feel like there is something right, and sometimes I feel like nothing is quite right, but I can’t really tell what is right or wrong. I am filled with doubts.

Until the competition started.

When Yuan Guyun stood in the competition venue, his spiritual sense received information from the surroundings.

Looking at the dense and noisy crowd in the stands, there were more monks than he had ever seen in his entire life.

There is a vague sense of enlightenment.

'The Chamber of Commerce is profit-driven. If they spend one cent and attract a hundred or so customers, they will naturally be willing to spend money... The ghost market in the Southern Wilderness is different. If you spend ten cents, you can only attract one customer... Even if you attract ten people, nine of them are bad customers. It is better to spread the word and only receive acquaintances.'

Yuan Guyun's inner doubts were immediately relieved.

At the same time, he sighed secretly.

As a casual cultivator who had fought his way to a certain level in the Southern Wilderness, he knew that the situation in the Southern Wilderness would be difficult to change.

……

After the competition started, each spokesperson selected the puppet they wanted to represent.

Although Chen Jing himself called it an iron can.

But it must be understood that puppet production involves multiple links, from R&D design, raw material production, processing, and various parts manufacturing; from production line monks to technical R&D monks, to sales and after-sales, it provides a large number of jobs for the majority of practitioners.

The puppet itself integrates the high-end skills of the An Ning Society, such as high-level refining equipment, formations, and talismans;
The sales and after-sales experience represents the internal vitality and business environment of today’s Hospice system;

The sufficient supply reflects the solid foundation of An Ning Hui's downstream supply chain.

Puppet is the core project of An Ning Society so far, which has transformed from pure raw material production to processing and manufacturing and entered the secondary industry.

Selling flying swords and robes is just for fun, but a steady supply of high-quality puppets is the true reflection of the An Ning Society's internal strength.

Therefore, while Chen Jing strongly supported the development of puppets, he also had to find a way to sell them.

Making it is half the achievement, but selling it and making money from it is the real achievement.

So Chen Jing personally instructed the major chambers of commerce to look for celebrity players to sign endorsement contracts.

Besides.

Chen Jing also did two things.

The first thing was to design the content of this competition: the mecha battle of the magic contest.

Are you kidding? He is really bored and wants everyone to decide who has the most powerful magic for fun?
has no meaning.

Even if he is labeled as someone who can suppress six factions at once, it is meaningless to him. He should just let things take their course.

All Chen Jing really wants is money.

What kind of magic competition is this? It’s just a product launch conference of the major puppet manufacturers of An Ning Society.

The second thing was to personally participate in the design of these "tin cans".

"For this finals competition, all the puppet manufacturers have provided different appearances for your hybrid mechas. Do you have a favorite style?"

The priest judge and host asked.

Yuan Guyun had already prepared a plan, and said directly: "Are there any luxurious puppets and demons under the Chang'an Sword Banner?"

"some."

The priest nodded.

At this time.

The sky above the stadium was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and a scene like the abyss of hell appeared all around.

Above the earth, a beam of light shot up into the sky, and a dark purple, oppressive figure appeared in the sky.

I saw a figure wearing heavy armor, with devil horns on his forehead and six wings on his back.

Behind him was a huge full moon. He stood in the full moon, like the only demon god in the world.

After appearing on the stage, the demon god suddenly disappeared and came in front of Yuan Guyun.

Accompanied by the spread of purple light.

Yuan Guyun sank into the body of the demon god, and the demon god, which seemed a little stiff, suddenly became much more spiritual. He leaped up, and the Fang Tian Hua Ji appeared out of thin air, and smashed the ground heavily. The halberd danced in a circle, and he made a handsome appearance.

"Fuck, how handsome?!"

This appearance immediately made a large number of audiences feel the charm of this puppet.

And Yuan Guyun's opponent.

He is a student from Hospice.

His entrance was much more plain, but it seemed smoother and more unique.

What Chen Jing prepared for him was a regular mecha transformation, the same model as Iron Man. The person stood in place, and the modules unfolded, covering the whole body layer by layer.

Finally, the visor closed with a click, the lights in both eyes lit up, and accompanied by the final startup sound effect, the soul was infused.

"The style of painting in this world of immortal cultivation... seems to be getting more and more wrong."

Chen Jing's spiritual incarnation stood on the high platform.

Watching the battle between Tianmo Liaoluan and Iron Man.

At last.

The members of the An Ning Society fell into a disadvantage and were constantly suppressed by Tianmo Liaoluan's aggressive attacks, and were ultimately defeated.

Even though they were deprived of their own spells and their attack methods were limited, their combat experience and control over mana were instead more prominent.

Yuan Guyun has experienced life and death for a long time, and is better at seizing opportunities in battle. He is basically a seeded player who will surely be in the top five or even top three.

The final battle result is out.

Among the independent cultivators, Yuan Guyun was far ahead and took the third place.

The second place was Zhao Wenjian, a very famous young man from the Bloodthirsty Sect. Although this was a competition of magic power, it was a competition of magic power in close combat, which allowed the disciples of the Bloodthirsty Sect to reap the benefits.

On the An Ning Club side, only Ye Fan was left. He fought all the way to the final battle and won the championship.

It was only a little tricky to defeat Yuan Guyun and Zhao Wenjian, but beating the others was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.

Chen Jing was a little suspicious. This guy might have some cheats that he didn't know about. It was not just his innate understanding...

However, there is no need to delve into it.

In the world of cultivation, most people are ordinary people who spend their entire lives stuck in the first three realms. Anyone who can reach the top must be cheating.

The subsequent spiritual consciousness competition and martial arts competition were launched one after another.

Chen Jing still adhered to the principle of promoting the product and made some magical changes to the content of the competition.

I don't really care about winning or losing.

The final result.

Ye Fan won the championship in the spiritual consciousness competition and the third place in the martial arts competition, which was the best result he achieved among the three main competitions in this An Ning Association.

After the main competition comes the auxiliary competition.

In the three main competitions, the people of Southern Wilderness can still compete with all their might, and even fight back and forth.

But in the eight auxiliary competitions, Nanhuang played the qualifying round as if it were the final, and An Ning would play the final as if it were the audience.

In all kinds of production and manufacturing skills, the An Ning Society has demonstrated unparalleled dominance.

To know.

After An Ning came down, the leader and master of the Qingnang Sect uploaded a large amount of cutting-edge cultivation skills that they had painstakingly acquired from the Yunshang Sect and the Miaohe Sect to the Yunshang Academy.

Although the An Ning Society currently lacks fourth-level cultivators and it is difficult to cash in on that part of the high-level inheritance, it is still much better than the group in Nanhuang that they have never seen before.

The subsequent entertainment competitions include divination, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc., which are purely for entertainment.

It is a rich place with many entertainment activities. There are some top artists in the Southern Wilderness, but they will definitely not come to participate in such a competition.

So, after the race came to an end.

The power of the An Ning Society was finally consolidated.

Chen Jing also resonated with the power of his own An Ning Society, understood the ways of humanity, and officially embarked on the middle stage of Shenzang practice.
