Wizard: Become stronger by drawing cards from the potions variety show

Chapter 645 Public Opinion Strategy
The Soul Speaker sent back a message without mercy: "Idiot, is this the advice you gave me? I can't believe that the help provided by the higher-ups is actually this kind of thing?"

"Am I crazy or are you crazy? Are you the babies who are sucking pacifiers in the Basic Academy?"

"Do I need to teach you what to do?"

"Direct rescue? You're so lucky to have come up with that. You feel that the world's will hasn't paid attention to us early enough, so you feel a little sad, right?"

"I will accept the things, but I will never act according to your ideas. I suggest you reconsider whether you are suitable for this position."

“Also, why don’t you adjust the potion according to the rules of this world? Do you want me to take the time to adjust it?

“It’s really awful.”

This merciless rebuttal made Yuri and Kane look a little embarrassed. The plan and potion they spent time and effort thinking out were criticized as useless.

Yuri had a gloomy face, and Kane was also a little indignant: "Although we haven't entered the Basic Academy yet, I also know that students in the Basic Academy don't use pacifiers now..."

"Is this the key?" Yuri turned around and looked at him in surprise when he heard Kane's words. He never thought that Kane's focus was here.

Kane shrugged. "I know the key point is not here. Our potion was not adopted. Our ideas are not consistent with the other party's ideas. But I don't know what this guy is going to do. Why don't we ask him directly?"

this is a good idea.

They originally thought that triggering the side quest would be the direction they needed to take next, but they didn't expect that the side quest and the Soul Speaker's plan were actually in different directions.

This also gave them a wake-up call.

The triggering point of the side quest is Deng Yunfan's wish, and the side quest does not necessarily have to be completed.

Yuri immediately asked the Soul Speaker what his plans were now.

The Soul Speaker quickly gave a long string of responses.

"Although I think you are hopelessly stupid, there is no other way. I need you now. I need you to find potions or magic items that can have a negative impact on the group. It would be best if they are inflammatory or can cause anger in the group."

"Besides, I lack the equipment here and cannot complete the analysis, but you should be able to do it..."

"Don't give me half-finished potions like before."

It's not just Yuri and Kane.

Lina, Uriel and Lucy were also able to see the Soul Talker's feedback.

Moreover, they also saw what the Soul Speaker did next.

He manipulated the independent faction through several agents to actively operate.

Even if one only has the abilities of a high-level wizard, as a soul speaker who specializes in mind control, he can quickly gather a group of available forces.

He did not try to rescue Deng Yunfan, but indirectly found some originally neutral people through bribery and other means to disrupt the attention and promote an important matter.

whats the matter?
It was to prepare for Deng Yunfan's bizarre death.

That’s right, in the Soul Speaker’s plan, Deng Yunfan and his companions were doomed to die, and their deaths had to be bizarre and sensational.

All the strength of the independence faction is waiting, waiting for Deng Yunfan's death, to be pushed and molded into a "martyr" who wants to awaken the consciousness of the whole nation.

The clearly laid out plans made the little wizards look at each other in bewilderment.

This is professional.

After witnessing the Soul Speaker's plan, the little wizards realized that what the Soul Speaker said to them was right.

If they insisted on rescuing Deng Yunfan, not only would there be a high possibility of failure, but there would also be a great possibility of exposing themselves.

After all, under the current circumstances, the reason why Deng Yunfan was accepted by the Chinese top leaders was because Deng Yunfan followed the most original system and was not influenced by the wizards of the defender camp. He existed as a fallback.

Once Deng Yunfan and others also embrace magic, such strong support will easily arouse suspicion.

What exactly does Deng Yunfan want to do? Why would someone spend so much money to protect him?

These are key points that cannot be explained.

Even if he can be rescued in the end, Deng Yunfan will be the focus of special attention, and it will be difficult for him to move freely like before.

Compared with Deng Yunfan being alive, Deng Yunfan’s death could trigger a bigger wave of public opinion.

No matter how friendly the defenders are, they are still outside the world.

It was widely publicized that the independence faction negotiated with the defender camp for the benefit of the country and the people, wanting to obtain more resources, to better protect the country and everyone. However, because the negotiations broke down, they were framed, detained for investigation, and even "committed suicide" bizarrely during detention.

This is definitely the best key to ignite public opinion.

They say they are all serving the defenders, but in reality they want to sell people, just like the “triangular trade” of the last century.

As long as the operation is done well enough, by emphasizing that the people currently in power obey the orders of the wizards of the Defender camp, they may even be labeled as "capitulators".

Of course, based on current facts, the credibility of such rumors and slander is extremely low. After all, what the defenders have always done is unilateral assistance.

But it doesn’t matter. As long as it can incite emotions, with such a large population, there will definitely be a group of people who believe in it.

After all, everyone believes that there is no such thing as a free lunch. Can the so-called visitors from another world really come here with no agenda and just to help them?
Even if they didn't do anything to threaten them now, would they not do it in the future? Would they wait until a certain point before reaping the rewards? As long as these doubts were made clear and the seeds of suspicion were planted in the hearts of the people, the wizards in the defender camp would be increasingly limited in what they could do.

After watching the Soul Speaker's operation, Lina suddenly realized: "Indeed, unlike the Plunderer camp, the key to the Defender camp is people's trust. Because they want to create a kind image, they cannot make threatening moves."

“Trust is easy to destroy, but very difficult to build and maintain.”

"This is the advantage of the defender camp, but also their limitation. The Soul Speakers want to take advantage of this now. We must cooperate with them."

After understanding the Soul Speaker's ideas, Yuri and Kane quickly changed their thinking and began to choose new research directions in the research interface.

Lucy thought about it and chose the same direction.

Judging from the current situation, the Soul Speaker's plan is obviously better than theirs, so just follow the Soul Speaker's plan.

An hour later, Yuri and Kane re-selected the strengthening direction [Strengthening Chaos Spread Guidance]. They tried to improve and brew the potion according to the requirements.

This time they chose a high-level potion that can spread over a large area, called Manic Contagion.

The effect of the potion itself is very ordinary. The reason why it can be considered a high-level potion is that a lot of optimizations have been made in terms of concealment and spread.

After all, this potion is aimed at ordinary individuals on Blue Star. The basic quality of ordinary adult individuals on Blue Star is 0.3 of that of newborns in the wizarding world. As long as they have not become extraordinary people, this level of potion effect is enough to influence them.

And there is another advantage to doing this. The ordinary level of manic effects can be more easily improved according to the rules of the Blue Star world, and it is also easier to brew.

By accumulating a large number of them, Yuri can try chaos enhancement to meet the needs of the Soul Speaker more quickly.

This is true.

After they changed the plan, it only took them an hour to brew a variety of potions that met the soul talkers' requirements.

When it was transmitted to the Soul Talker in the deduction system through the potion-assisted system, the Soul Talker was very satisfied.

"Yes, this is exactly what I need. It seems you are not so useless after all."

After the Soul Speaker obtained the mania spreading potion, he secretly distributed it to the independent faction members.

They did not choose Kyoto as the location for the deployment, because it is a high-rise city with tight security and many high-level extraordinary people. Any disturbance will attract close attention.

Dayuan City is naturally even more impossible. Although Dayuan City is now developing rapidly and has a dense population, it is the base of the wizards of the Defender camp. It may be destroyed before it can even make any waves.

The Soul Speaker chose the coastal city of Dajiang.

Before the abnormal events broke out, this place was once a first-tier city second only to Kyoto. After the abnormal events broke out, because the small area accommodated too many people, the frequency of abnormal events broke out more frequently than other places, and many talented and capable superheroes appeared, but the problem was that these superheroes were transferred to Kyoto.

At that time, there was a lot of complaints in Dajiang City. Even though the abnormal incidents were brought under control later with the help of wizards from the defender camp, the resentment of the people in Dajiang City was still not subsided.

The emerging Dayuan City and Dafeng City achieved overtaking, and then the Jiuding Defense System was established. Although Dajiang City was one of the nine nodes, it was not one of the earliest ones.

It is for this reason that the Soul Speakers found this to be the best soil for spreading their ideas.

This is true.

The Soul Speaker only lit a small flame, but it caused a huge wave in Dajiang City. The people there did not agree with some of the measures announced above, and with the infectious mania created by Yuri, all kinds of groups spoke freely, and the public opinion environment saw a large-scale discussion in a very short period of time.

Questioning, insulting, complaining, as soon as you see that the IP address is from Dajiang City, you can tell that there is basically nothing good to say from them.

Naturally, some people above paid attention to the changes in the epidemic situation here, but before they could take any new measures, they found that protest marches had begun in groups of three or four in Dajiang City.

Coincidentally, at this time, a large number of media claimed that, based on reliable information from unknown insiders, Deng Yunfan and other imprisoned senior figures of the independence faction had died mysteriously in prison.

Then in the article below the media, there appeared a detailed introduction about Deng Yunfan and others, as well as information about the independent faction.

The article uses seemingly neutral language to describe the positions of the self-reliance faction and Deng Yunfan and others.

They believe that those who are not of our race must have different hearts. Even if these so-called wizards from other worlds help us, they must be more attentive. We need to develop ourselves at all costs and means and no longer be controlled by foreign groups.

It was also mentioned that in the most recent transaction, the wizards proposed to obtain a large population, and it was Deng Yunfan who stopped this unfair and undemocratic transaction.

And below these reports, someone vaguely placed a black and white picture of the triangular trade, which was obviously a metaphor for something.

With all these factors combined, the public opinion in Dajiang City exploded quickly. They expressed their distrust of the so-called wizards and foreign races, and also asked the government to give them an explanation. Why did such a transaction that was obviously a human trafficking take place? Why did the public not know about it at all? And why did Deng Yunfan, who stopped the transaction, actually get imprisoned for investigation and even died in prison?

Large-scale protest marches broke out in Dajiang City, and this trend of public opinion quickly spread to other cities.

Of course, many people have expressed their opinions below, believing that the current actions of the wizarding community are friendly. If they really wanted to enslave and control them, they could have done so at the beginning, but this is not the case, which already shows that they are friendly.

Comments like these often become the main battlefield for protests and arguments between the two sides.

In just three hours of real time, a very obvious change of situation occurred in the recommendation system. The abnormal fluctuations reflected in the mental network displayed in front of Noah and others came from the collective protest in Dajiang City.

Seeing this change, Ava asked impatiently, "Why are they protesting? I've read the information. Without our help, they simply can't face the huge abnormal events. But now that they have just stabilized, have they forgotten the previous dangers?"

"Also, I've seen the previous deal. We want to recruit people with extremely high magical talents from Blue Star and grant them legal citizenship. There's nothing wrong with that. On the contrary, the so-called self-reliance faction wants to directly forcibly recruit people in exchange for more benefits. Are they still criticizing this behavior?"

Ava found it a little hard to believe that there were such people and such a stupid group of people.

Harry smiled and tried to comfort Ava, saying, "It's normal. A lot of information won't be made public, and a lot of things won't be completely transparent to everyone. They may seem stupid to you, but that's just because they don't have the information we know. They're not stupid, on the contrary, they're smart and cautious enough, so they'll be guided."
