Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest.

Chapter 164 Traffic and Interviews

The officer's lounge on the bridge of the USS Mitch CVN-144 aircraft carrier has now been occupied by the filming crew of three stars.

"Phoenix" Phoenix, "The Thorn Birds" Roger, and "Thunderbird" Margaret, although they are organizationally affiliated with Mitch's Strategic Homeland Security Bureau, the Super Hero League is also deeply involved this time to carry out commercial publicity operations for the entire event.

The core principle of so-called commercial publicity operations is actually very simple: exposure.

While the public attention is on you, get as much exposure as possible to increase the popularity of the superhero, and then use the peripheral products to monetize - after all, after this battle is over and the hot period has passed, further publicity will be ineffective.

During the intermission of filming, the three of them sat on chairs next to each other. Phoenix opened two cans of beer and handed one to Thornbirds, while Thunderbird lit a woman's cigarette.

"Have you seen the intelligence about this opponent?" The Thornbirds asked as he took the beer.

"No." "No." The Phoenix and Thunderbird answered at the same time.

The Thorn Birds was speechless and continued to ask:
"Want to study it tonight?"

"I can't go. I have an interview tonight," said Thunderbird.

"Don't be so serious." Phoenix said in a light tone, "As long as we win, that's all that matters."

It’s because we’re worried about not winning that we need to study the enemy’s intelligence!
The thornbirds wanted to give them some more advice, but in the end they held back.

He is a British-born Manchester native, and his temperament tends to be dull, gloomy and serious; "Phoenix" Phoenix was born in the Mediterranean Island of Corfu, and his personality is also the free and easy-going personality unique to Mediterranean people; "Thunderbird" Margaret is from Helsinki in Northern Europe, and her carefree personality is at the other extreme... Without the establishment of team leadership, it is actually difficult for the three to reach a consensus through mutual communication.

Of course, the idea of bringing three extraordinary people with very different personalities together was a genius idea thought up by the business manager of the Super Hero League, and it was called "character differentiation."

To the Thornbirds, this idea was sheer folly. After all, his Transcendent profession was a wizard, and his fighting style was more focused on control, sneak attacks, and surprise attacks. But the Phoenix and Thunderbird both favored direct combat, and while they were undoubtedly formidable, they were completely unwilling to cooperate with him on the battlefield.

Being reckless and stealing don't go together!
The Thornbirds quietly left the officer's lounge, and along the way, they saw many other "superheroes" working with their respective management teams on filming. The entire upper deck of the bridge was like a mobile Hollywood, a giant star-making base, where everyone was focused on traffic and fame, and no one truly cared about victory.

...Can we really defeat the monks from Lu State in this way?
Of course, it doesn’t matter if we can’t win, as long as we can blame Sulu for being too weak.

Ultimately, the original intention of establishing the Super Hero Alliance was not to win, but for business operations and wealth accumulation, so that superheroes and Mitch entrepreneurs could form an indestructible community of interests - just copying their operations on the military-industrial complex.

The Thornbirds became more and more annoyed until he reached the end of the corridor and saw two Asian extraordinary people talking to each other in a gibberish that he could not understand at all.

But what they held in their hands were tarot cards that were familiar to European extraordinary people. It seemed that they were predicting the fate of this battle.

Narrowing his eyes calmly, the Thornbirds looked carefully at the cards drawn by the other party and quietly activated his own mystical spirituality.

The first card is the Magician, in an upright position. This indicates that the Western camp is about to face a completely unfamiliar challenge from the monks of the Land Kingdom. It is also a symbol of innovation, freedom, and the pursuit of power.

Then the second one is... the tower, upright. This time, within the secret realm lies something truly terrifying, a sudden destruction, immense harm, a path to ruin.

The two Asian extraordinary people were obviously frightened and quickly drew the third tarot card.

The Wheel of Fortune, reversed, represents extremely difficult struggles, complex changes, and unpredictable life and death. This is also not a good card.

The opponent trembled as he was about to draw the fourth card, but his partner held his arm down.

The two of them chatted for a while, and then slowly put the three tarot cards back into the deck.

The thornbird closed its eyes tightly and let out a long breath to calm the tension caused by the adrenaline secretion in its body.

Let's start over with the original plan. This time, we must make saving our lives our top priority...

When he opened his eyes again, he found that the two Asians were gone.

--------

Although his mind is not on work, Yan's father is an employee of a state-owned enterprise after all, so he has been forcing himself to go to work recently.

After lunch break, he was sitting in front of the computer looking at drawings when he suddenly heard some murmuring around him.

Gossip is a daily part of state-owned enterprises, and it's unavoidable. Yan's father went to get a cup of tea, holding the hot disposable paper cup, and tried to join the gossiping crowd.

Unexpectedly, when those colleagues who were chatting saw Yan's father coming over with tea, they immediately stopped talking to each other and said with a smile on their faces:

"Mr. Yan, would you like some tea?"

"Yeah." Yan's father looked puzzled. Why would I pour this cup of tea if I don't drink it?
"Mr. Yan, my relative gave me a can of tea. I can't finish it, so I'll give it to you." "Oh, how can I do that..."

"It's okay, I have plenty." The colleague went to get some tea leaves, and someone handed him a cigarette and said:

"Come."

Yan's father did not refuse this time because the person who handed him the cigarette was the deputy director.

After everyone puffed away their cigarettes, the deputy director said with emotion:

"Mr. Yan, your son has made great progress."

"No, no." Yan's father smiled and shook his head, "He has never been obedient since he was young. Beating him is useless, so I just let him be."

"That's what we call a late bloomer!" A colleague nearby said with a smile, "No matter what, he suddenly became successful and rose to prominence!"

Everyone laughed.

After finishing the chat and taking the tea given by his colleague, Yan's father returned to his seat for some unknown reason, frowning, feeling that something was not right.

As for currying favor with me, I don't think anyone meant that. But why is there a noticeable increase in intimacy with me?

Yan's father calmly opened the computer browser and prepared to check the news related to his son.

After finding the top of the hot search list and clicking on it, Yan's father immediately frowned and moved away from the screen.

Because his son's emoticons have been all over the screen, and there are all kinds of jokes written for him, such as "Sulu monkey, like a stake selling its head", "Warm a glass of wine and drink it after you fight in the South China Sea"... Yan's father's scalp is tingling after seeing these emoticons. The fifty-year-old man can't understand the meaning of these jokes at all.

But he finally figured out what had happened. It was probably that his son had made a boast in front of the camera to the people of the whole country.

Do the people believe it? Most certainly don't, because you're not actually fighting Sulu, but Sulu, Michel, and the Southeastern Allied Forces. If you were only fighting Sulu, you wouldn't need to brag; Sulu would probably surrender immediately.

As for the superhero Mitch, all we can say is that Mitch's military power has been the world's number one for so many years, and its reputation has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of people in various countries. Even though Lu now has four complete aircraft carrier fleets, it is only one-third of Mitch's.

If you ask everyone who they hope will win, everyone will definitely say they hope the Lu cultivator will win; but if you ask everyone who they think will win, this...

Yan's father was not a military expert, and the more he watched, the more anxious he became.

But let him be anxious. The characteristic of middle-aged men is to accept their fate. His son has grown up anyway, and there is nothing he can do if his superiors ask him to go to war. So let it be.

Yan's father closed the browser, put on his reading glasses and continued to look at the drawings, when suddenly his cell phone rang.

It was my wife calling.

"Nantian!" As soon as the phone was picked up, Yan's mother's voice rang out, "Don't go home after get off work. Our downstairs is full of reporters!"

She was not lying, because reporters really surrounded the residential building where the Yan family lived, and the owners' group was also in an uproar - everyone was discussing this matter.

Logically speaking, Yan Yu’s home address should not be so easy to find. After all, the Privy Council only made his name public. There are so many people with the same name and surname in the world. Who knows which "Yan Yu" it is?
But the coincidence is that when Yan Yu got the enrollment agreement, Zhen Dongjun was doing a family background check and found out that Yan's father was an employee of a state-owned enterprise. He then called the leader of his unit in order to better work with parents and increase the success rate of enrollment.

When the director of Yan's father's unit received a call from the military, he was also secretly surprised: Engineer Yan's son was recruited by the military to serve as a special forces soldier? This made the leader remember.

Now that the Privy Council has released the team list, the director is like, "Oh my goodness! Mr. Yan, your son is going to fight for his country!" Coincidentally, the director's wife is also a popular actress on the local TV station, so the whole thing is exposed.

While reporters in mainland China might not be as shameless as those abroad, knocking frantically on your door, they still have a certain level of professionalism. Team captain Yan Yu is overseas and we can't interview him, so why not interview his family?

People all over the country want to know about "Yan Yu". How can we not dig into such a huge traffic hotspot?

The most important thing is that the higher-ups didn’t say it was not allowed!

When the news reached Li Weiguo, the old commander-in-chief immediately flew into a rage.

Who approved them to do this?
A soldier is fighting overseas, and you are harassing his family, right?
Get out of here!

　Don't rush the transition.
