How to Bring Common Sense to Xianxia World

Chapter 99: Wei Chen Strategy



On the arena, the fight continued, and the winners for each arena were about to be decided. At this time, cheers for the participants reverberated throughout the arena. Yun Feng and the fire user rogue cultivator in another arena were the only two leading their respective matches.

As the fight went on, the participants who went up against Yun Feng fell one by one. Some were knocked out of bounds, while others were knocked out after the array deemed the damage to be fatal.

Yun Feng marveled at his own combat prowess. He never thought his combat endurance would last this long. From the beginning until now, he had never held back. He thought that midway through the battle he would need to conserve his energy, but contrary to his expectations, his spiritual qi pool was still more than seventy percent full, even though he had been going all out from start to finish.

Other than the time he received that golden pill from Wei Chen, he could not remember receiving anything special or even experiencing a minor breakthrough.

"Brother Wei… who exactly is he? Why does he have that kind of rare pill?" Yun Feng pondered to himself. If he once viewed Wei Chen as an unparalleled expert, now he saw him as a mysterious and unparalleled expert.

That was because Wei Chen was able to give him such a priceless pill. Yun Feng still remembered how Wei Chen casually tossed it to him like it was worthless. That kind of nonchalance toward such a precious pill was a trait of a powerful and influential expert.

To possess that pill, one needed not only strength, but also connections, or the ability to concoct it personally. From Yun Feng's perspective, Wei Chen was not the alchemist type. This could only mean that Wei Chen obtained the pill through deep connections.

While Yun Feng was still going strong and lost in contemplation, the fire user cultivator appeared to be reaching the end of his rope. He was now facing three participants who seemed slightly weaker than him, but they were determined to eliminate him first.

The fire user had no choice but to use a forbidden technique, sacrificing a few drops of his essence blood to unleash another large scale attack.

Boom!

With a thunderous explosion, the other participants were finally knocked out, leaving the fire user completely exhausted.

"Arena Two! The winner! Zhang Tianlong!" the referee declared loudly, and the crowd erupted in cheers to congratulate the fire user.

At this moment, Yun Feng had finally gathered enough power. He unleashed a slash, a massive slash that swept everything in front of him. The power of the strike transformed into hundreds of blade intents that struck all the remaining participants in the arena, ending the qualification round.

"Arena One! The winner! Yun Feng!" the referee declared loudly, and cheers exploded once again.

Wei Chen watched as the cheers continued, with both Yun Feng and the fire user Zhang Tianlong basking in the praise and glory.

People loved tales of underdogs defying the odds and emerging victorious. This match suited both Yun Feng and Zhang Tianlong well. The two were nameless cultivators without any backing, and people in this world usually looked down on rootless cultivators.

Even though people looked down on them, deep down they loved seeing such stories of heroes prevailing against all odds.

Wei Chen turned toward the camera and declared, "Hello folks. As you can see, we have the two winners of the morning qualification rounds. Please stay tuned for the afternoon round."

As he finished speaking, the screen did not fade away. Instead, an advertisement for the U-Phone appeared. This was part of Wei Chen's plan. In this world, a tournament like this should be equivalent to a Super Bowl event.

Advertisements during this time should have a significant effect on the audience. This was the first time he had placed a long session of advertisements like this during a broadcast, and he could not wait to see the response.

The advertisement itself was simple. It was just Wei Chen speaking about how good the U-Phone was.

"U-Phone, the latest invention of the Thousand Treasure Pavilion, created in cooperation with the Sword Manor. This U-Phone brings a revolutionary system called the Spirit Net. This Spirit Net allows you to connect with everyone, whether you are inside a secret realm, in closed-door cultivation, or even sealed within an isolated space. No one will ever lose their connection to you.

Moreover, the Spirit Net is a place for sharing. Everyone can post questions, and depending on the topic, experts may appear to shed light on matters that interest you.

You can also share your own insights so that everyone can see them and give you guidance to help you advance in your cultivation.

This great invention is sold exclusively at the Thousand Treasure Pavilion and its franchises.

For only two thousand spirit stones, this incredible invention can be yours. Do not miss this opportunity.

U-Phone. Sharing greatness. Ascend together!"

As the slogan ended, the advertisement concluded, and the screen changed to the words "On Standby," accompanied by a countdown for the afternoon qualification round.

Wei Chen's face scrunched up in dissatisfaction as he watched his own advertisement. He was a nuisance streamer, which meant no product wanted to associate with his content. Because of that, he was not very confident in his own advertisement. He also felt that the advertisement was missing something.

"Hmmm… maybe I should find a big name to be the U-Phone brand ambassador. Maybe I should find some actors and actresses to shoot an advertisement for it…" Wei Chen pondered to himself.

Aside from educating people of this world not to court death or provoke Heaven's Chosen, he also needed to find something to waste their time.

Yes, he theorized that the high death rate in this world was not caused solely by idiotic young masters courting death against Heaven's Chosen. There was another factor.

This world had cultivation, and cultivators usually lived for a very long time. When people had too much time and too little entertainment or activity, it became easy for them to develop strange thoughts or foolish ambitions.

For example, an idle young master might wander the market intending to visit the red light district. While traveling, he might encounter a jade beauty and fail to restrain himself, allowing his lower instincts to take over.

From there… the cycle of courting death would begin.

Whether that jade beauty was the partner of a Heaven's Chosen or not, the grudge would have already been formed.

If the young master actually succeeded in his lapse of horniness, then the sh*t was almost guaranteed to happen.

If that jade beauty happened to be the type of character who existed only to trigger the transformation of some kind country bumpkin farm boy, then things would become even worse.

That farm boy would undergo a drastic change in personality, from naive and kind, becoming ruthless and domineering, and might even annihilate soemone entire ancestral home simply because the young master of that ancestral home had stepped on his toes.

That would be truly terrible.

So, in Wei Chen's mind, the U-Phone was one of his strategic plans to reduce the death rate of this world.

If people had enough entertainment at home, the chances of stupid young masters wandering outside and encountering jade beauties would decrease significantly. Casualties would naturally be reduced.

Moreover, he also planned to establish a delivery business.

Who would want to wander outside if they had plenty of entertainment and could buy things without leaving home? Reading brainrot posts would more likely drain a young master's energy and make him questioning life and stop him from seeking trouble outside.

For that to happen, the U-Phone was the first step. He needed to popularize it. It would be even better if it became wildly popular and formed a U-Phone cult, just like those Steve Jobs fanboys back on earth.

Wei Chen kept all of his plans in mind and noted them mentally before flying down. At this time, Yun Feng was waving at him from below, standing beside the fire user cultivator named Zhang Tianlong.

"Yo! I saw your matches. Are you guys injured?" Wei Chen asked as he waved back at Yun Feng and walked toward the two of them.

"I must thank Brother Wei for the pill you gave me. That pill increased my strength by leaps and bounds. I suspect I will reach a breakthrough threshold in just a few days!" Yun Feng said as he performed a one-handed salute and bowed respectfully toward Wei Chen.

"This junior is Zhang Tianlong, a rogue cultivator without roots or parents. This junior greets Senior Wei. Brother Yun has told me about your strength," Zhang Tianlong said solemnly.

Wei Chen's eyes scrutinized Zhang Tianlong. The man was dressed mostly in red, with black linings on his robe. His long hair had red highlights, giving him a very stylish appearance. If this guy were reincarnated on Earth with that face and walked around Beijing, he would definitely make heads turn. Nine out of ten girls would look back.

But then…

Wei Chen glanced at Yun Feng and Zhang Tianlong again. One was dressed in black with a tattered cloak of red and black, while the other was mostly dressed in red with hints of black. Both of them wore expressions like they are brooding 24/7.

Damn… do not tell me this Zhang Tianlong guy is also a Heaven's Chosen?

Are the Heaven's Chosen the same as Stand users? Do they attract each other?
