Chapter 67 Image Spokesperson
"It seems that Celia has an in-depth study of the methods used by unscrupulous merchants to squeeze consumers. After studying at the base for such a short time, I can skillfully cite so many bad examples, and I must have worked very weekdays. β
The teacher walked back to the podium, glanced approvingly at the elf girl, and then looked around at the elves in the classroom:
"As consumers, everyone must always remember to protect their own rights and interests, and cannot let merchants do whatever they want. But for the time being, I can't give you constructive advice, because under the capitalist model, the individual consumer is very powerless in the face of the capitalist.
In particular, there are still a lot of gaps in the law when it comes to online games, and the lawyers' corps supported by the capitalists is not an ornament, and they will make all the efforts of individual consumers useless. All in all, pay more attention to consumer associations and learn to stay warm. As long as we are loud enough, sooner or later the law will take notice of this. β
Although many of them had never been exposed to online games, and even didn't know why they had to charge money to play games, this did not prevent them from forcibly writing down the teacher's words.
After class, the elves left the class one after another, but Celia was left behind by the teacher and asked to talk to her alone.
"Celia, did you submit an application to join the party a few days ago?" the teacher asked as he packed up the textbooks.
"yes, yes. Celia was full of excitement, nervously hugging her schoolbag, her eyes full of anticipation.
Looking at the elf girl's expectant eyes, the teacher's speed of packing up the textbooks was a little full, and she said with a little hesitation: "Celia's classmates are very good, her grades in all subjects are among the best, and her conduct is good, I personally very much hope that you can become a party member." However, according to the organization's regulations, you must stay in the training base for more than three years and have no bad deeds before you can join the party. β
"I understand! I'll keep trying. The elf girl seemed very understanding, and although she was disappointed, she was not discouraged.
"But what about ......" The teacher suddenly changed his words, and a kind smile appeared on his face that was not smiling on weekdays: "In view of the excellent performance of Celia, the organization has decided to approve you to become a probationary party member, and after a one-year observation period, you can become a full party member!"
"Thank you, teacher!" Celia was overjoyed, and quickly bowed deeply to thank him.
"Don't thank me, you fought for it yourself. β
The teacher picked up the textbook, suddenly seemed to remember something, suddenly frowned and quickly unfolded, and said to the elf girl: "Next week we are in Ludu Park, there is a publicity campaign to protect the rights and interests of game consumers, we just lack a good image of the promoter, are you willing to participate?"
"Of course I do. Celia readily agreed.
......
The primordial planet, the green capital of Grozny.
The forest park, which is empty on weekdays, is crowded by the crowd at this time, and from the central square to the boulevard at the edge, it is all young people on the inner and outer three floors. On the temporary metal platform in the square, an elf girl wearing a brown slim dress and a red armband on her left hand is holding a large microphone to give an impassioned speech:
"They are all liars, every one of them is! We play games for pleasure, but they continue to create pain for us, treating the player group who loves the game as a leek field, cutting wave by wave! A small rush in three months, a big rush in a year, the rapid depreciation of mall props, and the doubled blood defense of dungeons!"
"Players don't want to defend their rights, they don't want to curse operations, players actually just want to play games happily! They have generally promised consumers that they will create happiness with their hearts, but it is all a lie, because players are faced with an endless recharge! Players have been paying for the happiness of others, they have supported everything in the business, but they have not been given the respect they deserve, is this fair!?"
Under such a sonorous and righteous questioning, the audience's answer must be thunderous:
"No!"
"Yes, we're going to say no to shameless operations!"
The elf girl held a tweeter, and the red flag behind her was waving in the wind, and the blood-like color looked like fire at this time, igniting the hearts of countless listeners:
"Oppose malicious devaluation! Oppose mall lottery! Oppose bundled consumption!"
"Oppose malicious devaluation! Oppose mall lottery! Oppose bundled consumption!"
The listeners shook their fists and let out a roar of rage over and over again.
In the animal attraction not far from the park square, a penguin is foraging for food, seemingly startled by the angry roar of people. didn't care about foraging, so he crawled into the rockery cave, curled up and shivered with his fat body.
......
The elf girl who gave the speech was none other than Celia, a probationary party member, who was giving a speech in Green City Park to protect the rights and interests of game consumer groups. And her speech also generally aroused the resonance of young people, and every time she said a word, the audience would burst into cheers like a tsunami.
Even the teacher who recommended Celia to give a speech didn't expect the elf girl to have such a great charm, and actually turned an ordinary public welfare activity into a scene comparable to a presidential campaign.
And the results of this public speech, as well as the sensational effect it brings, were also unexpected by Celia and the organizers.
Maybe it's because of her goddess-level appearance, maybe it's because there are too many bullied game consumers, or maybe it's because Celia's speech is too impassioned, so she's on fire, and she's completely on fire...... And it's a big fire.
Not only the social networks of the Far Eastern Alliance, but even the social networks of the Kashni Federation, the speech video of "Elf Girl Celia Angrily Denounces Unscrupulous Operations" has become the hottest hot spot - and it is an irrepressible repeated slaughter, which makes the moderators and bartenders cry bitterly.
And the shameless operation in her mouth has also become the object of scolding, and under the influence of this sensation, the stocks of many game companies have begun to fall sharply.
This series of chain reactions has directly made Celia the embodiment of justice to protect the rights and interests of game consumers and crack down on unscrupulous profiteers.
On the Far Eastern Alliance's side, seeing that the elf girl was so hot, and that she was also a 'red and dedicated' reserve party member, he decisively signed a contract with her and asked her to be the image spokesperson of the Game Consumers Association.
Although Celia herself doesn't care about this position, and she is not happy about her popularity, this does not prevent the game merchants from holding a grudge against her. In order to take revenge on the elf girl, they designed her to be the main NPC in the game, and it is the kind of NPC that specializes in tricking players into charging money!
It's a practical sinister!
It is said that in the game played by Gogo Ruila, Celia became the main mall NPC, and the launch implied that players would recharge money.
However, smart players don't care, because they all know that the real Celia doesn't want to do this, and even the 'Celia' in the game is innocent - it's the game operation and unscrupulous profiteers who are bad!
One-one-one-one-one-one
White Moon, the central shrine.
A layer of blue cold light lingered in the silent temple, and the pitch-black metal throne was shrouded in a pillar of white light, and the spire backrest, which symbolized the power of the god-king, extended infinitely towards the vault in such an environment, forming a strong sense of oppression.
The lord of the throne was not here at this time.
In the empty temple, there was only one slender womanβa woman wearing a black top hat and long, straight blue ribbon hair that hung down to her waist, matching the snow-white shirt with flared sleeves, and black leather suspenders in a heavy metal style under her slender waist, and thick-heeled boots that outlined her slender calves.
She is the former owner of the Green Capital of Gronniz, Mercer Monaghan, the Thunderer.
β......β
Maiser stood directly across from the throne, looking at the jewel on the high back of the spire, patiently waiting for something.
The gem was like an impenetrable eye in the Thunderbolt's field of vision, cold and hazy.
Buzzββ!
With a slight vibration, the pitch-black metal throne quickly moved back, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the wall.
Reappearing in front of Maiser is a vermilion gate with mandala patterns.
Sneerββ!
As soon as the vermilion gate appeared, it slowly began to open, and the dazzling light poured out like a tide, making the temple look like another dimension at this time.
"It's been a long time since I've seen Maiser...... You look good. A familiar voice came with the light, breaking the silence of the space.
"Thank you for your care, the Adepts and I are doing well. Maiser replied respectfully.
"How is the primordial planet now, how is the new trend of thought? Although I receive a lot of reports every day, both in text and video, I still believe in you who have been there for a long time...... From what comes out of your mouth, it should be more trustworthy. β
"Back to Your Majesty, we have made a lot of mistakes and taken many detours. However, thanks to the correct guiding ideology, we are still striving to realize the ideal society, and we are getting closer and closer to that goal. In the face of Ivan's inquiry, the Demon Thunderer chose to answer truthfully.
She is an idealist herself, otherwise she would not have chosen to cooperate with Callert for the sake of the Anomalous and then run away to the Impossible Zone to occupy the mountain.
Therefore, it is easy to accept new trends of thought and change one's original worldview...... By now, Maise has gradually changed her long-standing demands, resolutely choosing to give up her autonomy and join the construction experiment of the new trend with her supernatural abilities.
"Encouragement, I've been following you, and I'm desperate for the new ideas to change the Menes Empire. Evan's voice at this time was full of appreciation for the Demon Thunderer.
"I can't help but panic. Mai Se lowered her head, and her tone was very humble.
"And what about the elves? It's been over a year since Karenz sent them to the primordial planet, right?
"The elves are born to fit this trend of thought, and they can't resist it at all...... And as the cultural mother country of this trend of thought, the attraction of the Menes Empire to them is also constantly magnified. Maise replied earnestly.
"The data from my side shows that the elves are basically party members and full of revolutionary enthusiasm...... Is this true?" asked Evan again.
"Your Majesty, according to my observations, your data is accurate. β
The Demon Thunderer nodded, confirming the accuracy of the data, and then patiently explained:
"The new thought is almost a lifesaver for the elves, and they need this kind of thinking to arm themselves and become strong...... Then save all your kindred. Therefore, for the elves, the new trend of thought is not only a sociological thought, but also a lofty concept full of combat effectiveness...... I am confident that their efforts will be rewarded. β
"Really? That's good. β
Inside the bright door, Ivan's voice gradually became solemn: "I heard that the prophet Celia of the elven race is very popular on the primordial planet, what do you think of her?"
"Back to Your Majesty, she is very kind, loves the elves very much, and is so obsessed with new ideas that she can hardly extricate herself...... I really want to return to the continent of Arad and rescue those enslaved elves. Such a person is naturally loved. Maise replied calmly.
"She'll get her way. β
"Your Majesty, do you mean...... You plan to use the Elven Clan to promote a new trend of thought in the Arad Continent!?" Hearing Evan's words, the Demon Thunderer instantly came to his senses.
"This is the best way to do it except war. Mercer, the reason why I am telling you this...... I hope you can do one thing for me. β
"Please. Maiser immediately held his breath and listened.
"The elves will have to return to the Arad continent sooner or later, and I hope you will go with them when the time comes, their strength is very weak and they need more help. At the same time, we must also be wary of the elves getting out of control...... I'll give you a position to guide their minds, are you up to the task?"
"I'll do my best. The Demon Thunderer replied lightly.
"Very well, you go back. β
"Glory be with you. Mai took a few steps back, turned and left the temple, and disappeared into a bright green light.
......
After leaving the Arad continent for more than a year, the elves have undergone a lot of changes.
On the side of the Perux Empire, there are also rapid changes. As the darling of the two camps, the empire frantically received all kinds of aid, which made the country's industrial strength continue to increase, and the national power also increased.
But the strength of the country did not give the emperor a sense of security.
Even now, he can't even sleep, because Kazan and Ozma's prestige and power are growing day by day, and they have surpassed his ability to control them.
Suffice it to say, if Kazan and Ozma join forces, they could overthrow his regime at any time.
Surrounded by a circle of arrogant soldiers all day long, he is neither the strongest, nor does he have enough prestige to convince the public, the pressure can be imagined.
Nowadays, when the emperor has nightmares, he dreams that Kazan will lead people into the court, oust himself from power, and then replace him. Under such pressure, he began to hatch a plan, one that would solve Kazan and Ozma.
